Never forget - the D party doesn’t want the welders, cafeteria staff and regular workers to become rich.

They want them on welfare. They want their vote, not their success.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

A welder took a $28 an hour job in 2015 at a company he had never heard of.

On Friday, Juan Hernandez became a millionaire.

He spent ten years building the structures that lifted rockets onto the launch pad. SpaceX paid him partly in stock, the way it paid its cooks, machinists, technicians and cafeteria staff, equity instead of bigger salaries. His $10,000 grant grew into $880,000 at the IPO price. The first day pop carried it past a million. He is 42, an immigrant from Mexico, married, three kids. He says he is keeping the job.

He is not the outlier. He is the pattern.

4,400 current and former SpaceX employees became millionaires on Friday. One in five people who ever badged into the company. About 400 of them are walking away with $100 million or more. One employee took every cash bonus in stock instead of money. He is sitting on 50,000 shares, worth more than $8 million at Friday's prices.

And then there is the other side of the cafeteria.

Some employees sold their shares years ago, certain the company would never go public because Musk said he hated public markets. A few traded their stock for restaurant gift cards. The New York Times says they are consumed by regret. Same grant, same building, same years. One group held the claim. The other ate it.

None of the winners can touch the money yet. The first selling window opens after the August earnings report, and the rest unlocks in waves through December.

Underneath all of it sits the only lesson the market ever teaches. The welder and the gift card came from the same place. The difference was never the work. It was the ownership. Salary pays for the month. Equity pays for the era.

A cook in Brownsville just answered the question every buyer of SPCX is asking at $170: what is a claim on this company actually worth?

The piece prices that exact question at $2.2 trillion.

The most dangerous 77 seconds ever recorded by a psychiatrist just broke containment again.

Thomas Szasz, the man the entire profession tried to erase, looked straight into the camera and said:

“We do not have an epidemic of mental illness.
We have an epidemic of psychiatry.”

Too fat → illness
Too thin → illness
Too happy, too sad, too much sex, too little sex → all illnesses

No free will, no responsibility left — only “chemical imbalances” fixed by products you can advertise on TV while alcohol cannot.

This forgotten 1:17 clip is now exploding across every timeline for a reason.

@Real_RobN Ok. I can understand despising Trump at this point. But this has nothing to do w/ Trump. This guy @leaderjohnthune is as corrupt as they come.

One hour before a hitman attacked her with a claw hammer, Susan Kuhnhausen sat in a hair salon reading a poem in Oprah magazine.

“I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear.”

She had no idea those words were about to become reality.

On September 6, 2006, the 51-year-old ER nurse finished her shift in Portland, Oregon and drove home after stopping at a salon.

She was going through a divorce.

Her husband Mike had recently moved out after 18 years of marriage.

When Susan walked into her house, she found a note from him:

“Haven’t been sleeping. Went to the beach.”

Then she walked toward her dark bedroom.

A man stepped out from behind the door holding a claw hammer.

He swung immediately.

The first blow hit her temple.

Most people would run.

Susan charged directly at him.

For nearly 30 years, she had worked in emergency rooms dealing with violent patients, overdoses, trauma victims, and chaos. She was trained in self-defense.

She knew a hammer swing loses power at close range.

So she slammed into him.

The attacker looked shocked.

“You’re strong,” he said.

That’s when Susan realized:

This wasn’t a robbery.

He came to kill her.

She fought like her life depended on it — because it did.

She tackled him.

Grabbed the hammer.

Hit him with the claw end.

He fought back.

She grabbed his throat and screamed:

“WHO SENT YOU HERE?”

No answer.

They crashed through the hallway, bleeding and wrestling for control.

At one point, the attacker stood over her with the hammer raised.

Susan later said:

“I thought, I’m going to die today.”

Then instinct took over.

She bit him repeatedly so investigators could identify him if she died.

Then she climbed on top of him, wrapped her arm around his neck, and squeezed with everything she had.

“TELL ME WHO SENT YOU HERE AND I’LL CALL YOU A FUCKING AMBULANCE!”

He never answered.

After 15 minutes, the attacker stopped moving.

Susan grabbed the hammer and ran to a neighbor’s house.

The neighbor called 911.

“She says call an ambulance for the guy. He may be dead.”

Police identified the intruder as Edward Dalton Haffey — a convicted criminal with a history of murder-for-hire.

Then investigators found something chilling in his backpack:

“Call Mike. Get letter.”

Mike Kuhnhausen.

Susan’s husband.

Police discovered Mike had hired Haffey to kill her for $50,000 so he could inherit their house.

He had even created an alibi by driving to the Oregon coast during the attack.

But Susan survived the man sent to murder her.

Mike pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison.

At sentencing, Susan held up photos of her bloodied face and told him:

“I am damaged by what you have done to me. But I am not destroyed.”

Years later, Susan became a victim advocate helping others survive violent crimes.

She says she doesn’t feel pride for killing a man.

But she feels no shame either.

Her message is simple:

“If you can’t run and you can’t hide… you have to fight.”

“I didn’t choose my attacker’s death for him. I chose my life.”

Barbara Walters writes:
Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
