NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”

“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”

“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”

“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”

“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”

“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”

“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”

Exactly!

Six weeks after September 11, 2001, twelve American soldiers were quietly loaded onto a helicopter in Uzbekistan and flown over the Hindu Kush mountains in the dead of night.

No tanks. No armored vehicles. No air support waiting on the ground.

Just twelve Green Berets, over a hundred pounds of gear each, and a mission that their own commanders privately doubted any of them would survive.
They landed in a remote Afghan village called Dehi, in the pitch black, surrounded by a country they barely had maps for.

And then someone handed them horses.
Not metaphorically. Actual horses — Afghan stallions, tough as nails and famously difficult to control. Wooden saddles covered in carpet scraps. Stirrups so short their knees rode up around their ears.

Captain Mark Nutsch, who'd grown up on a cattle ranch in Kansas and competed in collegiate rodeos, became trail boss on the spot. For the other ten men on his team — Operational Detachment Alpha 595 of the 5th Special Forces Group — the learning curve was immediate and unforgiving. The first words one of his sergeants learned in Dari were: "How do you make him stop?"

They had linked up with General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a Northern Alliance warlord who controlled thousands of fighters and knew this territory like the back of his hand. The deal was simple: the Americans would call in precision airstrikes from horseback. Dostum's cavalry would do the charging. Together, they would take Mazar-i-Sharif — a Taliban stronghold of 250,000 people — and crack open northern Afghanistan.

Military planners had estimated it would take two years.

Task Force Dagger gave ODA 595 three weeks.
For 23 days of nearly continuous combat, the Horse Soldiers lived like men from a different century. They ate what the Afghans ate. They slept on the ground in freezing mountain passes. They rode trails so narrow and sheer that one wrong step meant a thousand-foot drop. Staff Sergeant Will Summers started the mission at 185 pounds. He left Afghanistan five weeks later weighing 143.

The Taliban had tanks. Soviet-era armor, antiaircraft guns, fortified positions dug into the mountains. Against this, twelve Americans on horseback radioed coordinates to aircraft circling invisibly above, and watched the positions erupt.

On November 9, 2001, they rode into the kind of moment that people are not supposed to experience in the modern world.

Nutsch and his team joined hundreds of Dostum's horsemen in a thundering cavalry charge across an open plain — directly into entrenched Taliban lines. Under fire. At a gallop. Calling in close air support between strides.

It was the first cavalry charge of the 21st century.
It was also the last.

The next day, Mazar-i-Sharif fell. The Taliban's northern stronghold collapsed. Within weeks, the regime itself began to unravel — a domino effect that started with twelve men and borrowed horses in the mountains.

All twelve of them came home.
Zero American fatalities. Against a fortified enemy that outnumbered and outgunned them at every turn.
Today, across from Ground Zero in New York City, there is a bronze statue — sixteen feet tall — of a Special Forces soldier on horseback, rifle across his lap, looking west. It honors ODA 595 and the teams who rode with them.

Most Americans walk past it every day without knowing the story.
Now you do.

@WallStreetApes @grok what's the context of this video?

@ksorbs The process to get a replacement is pretty easy. Guess he can't figure it out.

@elonmusk What happens if or when the different AI s meet? Will they try to destroy each other like humans?

@SenRandPaul Thank God our shower heads are high flow now, great job! Keep up the good work! How about helping the middle class?

[AngryOtter @EdwardSlimm]

@RealJamesWoods That’s great and all, but will anyone besides some low level person be held accountable?.These hearings are all just bluster, I don’t recall anything substantive coming from them.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

What is happening right now to 15 YO Thomas Medlin?

Lured by a #ROBLOX
predator, he was last seen in Grand Central Station 2 weeks ago.

Please use your platforms to keep his face & name out there.

Look for an unknown young man who suddenly showed up around your apartment complex.

Or strange behavior by an employee who has changed their habits in terms of reporting to work.

If you play Roblox or were ever a gamer with Thomas and know anything even slightly suspicious, report it. Don't wait for LE to come to you.

If your relative is a gamer and is acting different, look into it.

He is likely with an adult male who games.

Someone has seen him!
