Born this day in 1925 in a Texas sharecropper's shack, one of twelve kids. His dad walked out, his mom died young, and Audie Murphy quit school in fifth grade to pick cotton and hunt rabbits to feed his brothers and sisters. He got deadly accurate with a rifle for one reason: the family couldn't afford a wasted bullet.
After Pearl Harbor he tried to enlist and got laughed off. The Marines rejected him. The Navy rejected him. The paratroopers rejected him. He was 5'5" and barely 110 pounds, and they all said he was too small to fight. His sister had to fudge his paperwork just to get the Army to take a 17 year old.
Then he went to war and became something out of a legend.
January 26, 1945, near Holtzwihr, France. His company was down to a handful of men facing six tanks and 250 German infantry. Murphy sent his men back, then climbed onto a burning American tank destroyer that could have exploded under him at any second, grabbed the .50 caliber machine gun, and held off the entire assault alone for nearly an hour. He was wounded in the leg and kept firing. When a buddy asked over the field phone how close the Germans were, he reportedly said hold on and let me ask them.
He came home the most decorated American soldier of the entire war. Every valor award the Army could give, some of them more than once, plus French and Belgian honors on top.
Life magazine put his baby face on the cover, James Cagney saw it and invited him to Hollywood, and the cotton picker who couldn't pass a physical became a movie star. He made over 40 films. In 1955 he played himself in To Hell and Back, the movie of his own memoir, and it was Universal's biggest hit until Jaws came along twenty years later.
But the war never let go. He had what we now call PTSD, slept with a loaded pistol under his pillow, and got hooked on sleeping pills trying to outrun the nightmares. He kicked the addiction by locking himself alone in a motel room for a week. Then he did something almost no famous man did back then: he went public, told the country that combat had wrecked his nerves, and pushed the government to study and treat what war does to a soldier's mind.
He died in a plane crash in 1971 at just 45 years old. They buried him at Arlington, where his simple headstone is the most visited grave in the cemetery after John F. Kennedy's.
Every branch told him he was too small to fight. He outfought all of them, then spent the rest of his life trying to help the men who came home broken like he did.
One of my favorite lies about Utah's elections is that ERIC makes our voter rolls "one of the cleanest in the nation."
The truth is ERIC's own statistics show that they add about 10x more voters to the VRs than they could ever cause to be removed.

This was humiliation. No one in modern history has made America wait and beg for negotiations. This was the moment JD Vance should have returned to Washington. The Islamic regime did this on purpose. Trump, if you don't understand politics, you should at least understand protocol.
The visuals from Switzerland:
• The U.S. delegation entered well before the Iranians. In diplomacy, the side with leverage doesn't wait in the room. You claim to be leading and winning, yet you arrived first. First mistake.
• Ghalibaf did not enter while the press was inside. JD Vance did. Another mistake. It looked as though you didn't just abandon allies, including Israel, you also diminished America's image by ignoring basic diplomatic protocol.
• The Iranian foreign minister entered last and refused to shake hands. We didn't need photographs to tell us who looked confident and who looked desperate, but these images made it easy for the world to draw its own conclusions.

Here is:
Little Adolf” Nick Fuentes on Jan. 6, with a bullhorn, instructing people to overthrow the U.S. government and storm the Capitol.
In other words, out of the tens of thousands of Trump supporters present on J6, the only two people—Ray Epps and Little Adolf—who were captured on videotape, no less, urging others to overthrow the U.S. government, did not face solitary confinement, seditious conspiracy charges, or any charges at all. In fact, the January 6 Committee covered it up.
📝 And don’t you dare fucking tell me Ray Epps was charged with a single misdemeanor for attempting to overthrow the U.S. government.
The federal judge who sentenced Ray Epps to probation? James Boasberg.
We now have documentation that COVID was fabricated in the Wuhan bioweapons lab under the funding and direction of Anthony Fauci. High ranking Democrats up to and including Joseph Biden engaged in a criminal coverup that killed and crippled millions. Where are the tribunals?

On this Summer Solstice of 2026, the six greatest threats to liberty and prosperity in the United States of America are as follows, ranked in order from most threatening to least (less) threatening:
1. Voting laws that make fraud generally impossible to prove in a court of law.
2. Failing to greatly reduce the size, scope and power of the unelected, unaccountable administrative state Leviathans at the federal and state levels.
3. Unchecked illegal immigration.
4. Mass immigration (both legal and illegal) of people from cultures who deny the basic rights of women and do not respect freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
5. Refusing to use America’s abundant, cheap oil and gas reserves in favor of expensive, wasteful, inefficient, landscape-destroying, species-killing, so-called “green” energy.
6. Social welfare programs for the able-bodied lazy.
Since Trump was elected we are making progress in these areas, but it’s not enough and will all get undone if Democrats somehow regain power. That’s why the 2026 and 2028 elections represent a binary choice between the doom or survival of the great American experiment. 🇺🇸
No company laying off Americans should get even one H-1B visa to replace them with cheaper foreign labor.
This is exactly the abuse that undercuts wages, steals opportunities from our own graduates and workers, and floods the job market while Utah families struggle.
We need to pause new H-1Bs, raise the wage floor dramatically, end the lottery and fraud, and put Americans first. Always.
The power of the ocean is on full display as these massive ships look like toys compared to these rogue waves..
Some of these cargo ships weigh hundreds of tons when fully loaded.
The most dangerous place on earth might just be the high seas..
The COVID injection-injured, like Cody, are being ignored by the media and the federal health officials who callously lied to the public.
They need to be seen, heard, and believed so they can receive effective treatment.
It’s the least the media and federal health officials can do.
The federal government makes you work months out of every year
Then it uses that money to create horrible things that harm you
Then it lies to you about it
Time for a constitutional reset
