The author of this never flew w/a 4 year old who shot herself in the head with her Dad’s unlocked firearm in the back of windy MEDEVAC chopper. I tried to hold the brain matter inside with one hand while bagging her with the other. I was a 19 year old kid. #ThisIsOurLane@NRA
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves. https://t.co/oCR3uiLtS7
Travel is tough these days, but I want to give a shout out to @ORDairport1, Officer Ramos of @TSA, and the @TortasFrontera team! Office Ramos was so patient with an elderly man in front of me having trouble with directions, lines moving well, and a delicious breakfast! 👏
A group of us believe that moral injury is a significant factor in suicides. Moral injury is also known as "Soul wound" and "Soldier's Heart." The key is to repair the injury to begin the healing process. If the moral injury remains silent, it can't be helped; seek help.
Hey @GovRonDeSantis, how about a friendly wager on the national championship?
If IU loses, I’ll send you some pork from @FischerFarmsIN, which is in my neck of the woods in Dubois County, plus some pies from the famous @WicksPies, including a sugar cream pie (an Indiana favorite).
Pork and pie for bragging rights. You in? 🏈🥧

Can we talk for a minute about how the EOD Soldier in this photo only got a Navy Achievement Medal for removing an RPG from a Marine’s leg?
There needs to be a review of some awards from the Global War on Terror, and I’d start here.
@MCCCANM We also always step first with our left foot! I have to consciously think about stepping up on hikes with my right every now and again to not overstress my left knee!
Rucking is a fitness trend?!
I know a place that will pay you to do it and even give you a free bag for joining their club!
Message @USArmy for more information.
FYI: We are not in debt because seniors get Social Security and Medicare. We are not in debt because single moms get food stamps. We're in debt because the rich dodge their taxes.
I mean, I guess I could lose a few pounds, but as I get close to 70 yo, hopefully Joe will look as good. Here I am in a new pic with my pretty wife Ann of almost 40 years of marriage. In the meantime I helped pioneer low cost vaccines that have reached 100 million people
This is Waylon. He'd been in a shelter for 95 days when a woman came in with her son Cai "just to look around." They fell in love with Waylon. Cai asked so many great questions not only about Waylon's personality, but how to keep him safe and healthy with heartworm prevention and microchips. Shelter staff said they were truly blown away by this young man. When he returned to officially adopt Waylon, he arrived in a very dapper suit. When asked why, he simply replied that it was a "special occasion." Waylon and his new buddy are inseparable. 14/10 for everybody
Working for peace requires acting justly. Every effort should be made to overcome global inequalities, which allow opulence and destitution to carve deep divides between continents, countries, and even within individual societies.
@ToysKong “indestructible” might not be the right word. One bowel obstruction surgery later and I’m just thankful my dog survived. Please feel free to chip in on the surgery costs…..
