Do you have a child or a family member thinking about joining the Air Force? It was the greatest thing, other than AJ, I’ve ever done in my life. Buzz is an Aircraft Commander, pilot, I was a lowly Air Transportation enlisted guy. What my enlistment did for me. - Made me an adult - Sent me around the world twice - Forced me to see the hatefulness of man - Forced me to see the pure love of man as well - Thus, opened my eyes - Taught me that if you buy a man a beer at a bar, they'll invite you to their culture. - Food is pretty great, anywhere in the world, if you walk down an ally and find what the locals consider a diner in America. Might be street food, might be a two table joint. - A lot of the world hate America and Americans - A lot of the world love America and Americans - Most people will hate you when you are trying to help them. Still strange to me and still relevant. - You can force yourself to work even longer then three days straight, because men you've never met in Somalia, need supplies. - When you ice down a body in a aluminum coffin, you have to fill out a haz-mat form. - When a 40-K crushes a man's torso, while the vehicle was backing up, you have to fill out a haz-mat for that because the crushed spotter lost over two cups of blood. - How to drive machines - Air Force will do anything to not pay you for a Remote, Hardship tour and then purchase 86 staplers end of year so they don't lose their budget. - Listen to your sergeant, they'll get you to E-5 - Listen to captain , if you're willing, they'll teach you. I had a full blown eagle Colonel take me under his wing. Gave me the nickname, Toad. - How to pick up hot chicks, Air Force is full of hot chicks. Obviously I'm a blood love of Air Force. Buzz and I have seen shit. Him more than me. Still, I was driving around east Berlin with a bunch of 'dudes' a few months after The Wall fell. Do you have a child or a family member thinking about joining the Air Force? It was the greatest thing, other than AJ, I’ve ever done in my life. Volunteer for challenges.

Elon Musk criou, em um único dia, 4.400 novos milionários. Quase 400 deles ultrapassaram os US$ 100 milhões. Não são banqueiros nem investidores de risco. São funcionários da SpaceX: soldadores, técnicos, mecânicos e até funcionários da cantina. Durante vinte anos, a empresa pagou gente de todos os níveis com ações, não só com salário alto. Quem produziu colheu. Juan Hernandez, imigrante mexicano, aceitou um emprego de soldador por US$ 28 a hora em 2015, sem nem saber direito o que era a SpaceX. Recebeu uma pequena participação de US$ 10 mil e pôde comprar mais por desconto em folha. Hoje sua fatia vale US$ 880 mil. Trevor Hise ignorou os conselhos dos pais para pegar um emprego “seguro” na General Electric. Escolheu a SpaceX, ficou 12 anos e acumulou mais de 100 mil ações. Ao preço da listagem, são US$ 13,5 milhões. Aos 37 anos, ele já pode se aposentar. Palavras dele: “A magnitude disso é ridícula.” O detalhe mais eloquente veio antes mesmo da abertura de capital: mais de 100 funcionários se uniram discretamente para contratar uma gestora de fortunas capaz de cuidar de até US$ 5 bilhões. Muitos nunca tinham precisado de wealth manager na vida. Há décadas os IPOs de empresas de tecnologia enriquecem programadores. Desta vez, o dinheiro chegou ao chão de fábrica. Isso é capitalismo de verdade: quem arrisca, quem trabalha e quem entrega valor colhe frutos proporcionais. A esquerda odeia esse tipo de história. Porque ela prova que a verdadeira ascensão social não vem de dividir a miséria alheia, mas de criar riqueza que eleva quem tem coragem de construir.

A young Scottish girl who defended her sister from Muslim invader/predators has been vindicated by a British court. She should have a statue erected in her honor rather than have been charged in the first place. She has more heart than the leftist politicians destroying the UK.

Understanding Western Civilization is understanding that these were built by the same type of people. The most righteous and terrifying force in the world is a people who understand when to pray and when to fight.

Think of it this way. You committed a felony, got convicted, did your time and now you are free again and can live free in society, but your state has a law that says you can't vote because you lost that privilege. Corollary: You got an SS Totenkopf tattoo on your chest, wore it for years, covered it up when people found out, you are allowed to live free in society, but that tattoo should forever bar you from serving in a public office in the USA. Same concept, Graham Platner.

June 10 · Center Point, Alabama He showed up to work in his uniform on the day he was supposed to walk across a stage. Timothy Harrison was 18 years old. It was graduation day at Woodlawn High School. And instead of getting ready with his classmates, he clocked into his shift at the Waffle House in Center Point, Alabama, because the cap and gown pickup had passed him by, and he had no ride to the ceremony, and at some point he had quietly decided that today just wasn't going to be his day. His manager, Cedric Hampton, saw him walk in and stopped. Timothy had the day off. Why was he here? When Cedric heard the answer, he made a decision in about three seconds: not on my watch. What happened next, in a Waffle House in Alabama, was something you don't forget. Staff scrambled to track down a cap and gown. Coworkers passed around cash, for a dress shirt, a tie, pants, shoes. Customers sitting at the counter overheard what was happening and reached into their wallets without being asked. Within a few hours, Timothy Harrison was standing in that restaurant fully dressed for graduation, looking like someone who had planned this all along. A coworker drove him across town. They arrived just in time. Timothy took his seat with his graduating class. He walked. After the story spread, Lawson State Community College offered him a full scholarship, a future that hadn't existed that morning when he'd quietly given up on his own day. "I just came in to work. I wasn't expecting any of that." — Timothy Harrison Some people decide a moment is over. And then there are the people who refuse to let them. Tag someone who would have been in that Waffle House passing the hat. 🎓

If you paint a swastika on a school, it’s a crime. You will be investigated, arrested, sentenced and fined. If you put something similar on your chest, you can become a Democrat Senator and the D party will give you millions of dollars. The modern-day D party is a disaster.

There was update on Stephen Ogilvie last night. The doctors said it was looking good and he was a fighter. They tried to bring him out of the coma but he didn’t do well so they had to induce him again. They’re going to try and take him out gradually to see how it goes. His throat has had to be stapled from one side to the other, he’s lost his left eye and socket completely, he had 2 surgeries yesterday to rebuild his nose. The doctors are now focusing on the swelling in his face. Keep praying for him and his family. 🙏🙏🙏

This guy is a cowardly pig. His very presence besmirches the proud, and professional, US military. For someone like him, who I wouldn’t allow to be anywhere near my unit if I was his commander, to be elevated to a position of power in our Constitutional Republic is a crime. What kind of message are you trying to send, Maine?

“Come on guys have some decency. Only a small portion of the population wants to behead people. It’s just a few heads. Why are you so upset? Your racism is disgusting to me. So selfish. It’s just your head. Sheesh.”

Just a little American advice to all my friends in the UK: It's only treason if you lose. Godspeed.

Everyone needs to relax. New England would never send a man with an alcohol problem and a history of abusing women to the United States Senate.

A staff member from the Texas Veterans Land Board's Central Texas State Veterans Cemetery in Killeen recently took this beautiful photo of a fawn resting in front of a gravestone. Apparently, the doe leaves her fawns in the cemetery while she forages for food. The cemetery staff has been in touch with US Army Veteran Albert Ragsdale's family to share this touching image.

I was teaching my Sunday school class one morning and wanted to see if the kids understood how you get to heaven. So I asked, “If I sold my house and my car, had a big yard sale, and gave all my money to the church — would that get me into heaven?” The children shouted, “NO!” “Okay,” I said, “What if I cleaned the church every week, mowed the lawn, and kept everything neat and tidy — would that get me into heaven?” Again they shouted, “NO!” I smiled. “Well then, if I was kind to animals, gave candy to all the children, and loved my wife — would that get me into heaven?” Once more they yelled, “NO!” By now I was so proud of them. “Then how can I get into heaven?” I asked. A six-year-old boy jumped up and said, “Ya gotta be dead, Mister!”

In the presence of these two Marine Medal of Honor Recipients-one a youthful sentinel in full dress uniform providing a salute, the other a venerable hero offering a gesture of allegiance with a hand over the heart—we are reminded that honor transcends generations and knows no term limits. At the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, especially, the hero story lives on. Left: Dakota Meyer U.S. Marine Corps GWOT - Afghanistan Right: Allan Kellogg U.S. Marine Corps Vietnam W@r
