No DM.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

His name was Roddie Edmonds.

Most people had never heard of him.

A quiet Methodist from Knoxville, Tennessee. A husband. A father. A churchgoing man who came home from World War II, raised his family, and never once bragged about what he had done.

The world almost lost his story completely.

December 1944.

The Battle of the Bulge.

Roddie Edmonds had been on the Western Front less than a week when his unit was surrounded by German forces. Thousands of American soldiers were captured during Hitler’s final major offensive.

Edmonds became one of them.

What followed was brutal.

A forced march through freezing snow.
Men collapsing from exhaustion.
Packed into rail cars with almost no food or water.
Days of starvation and cold before arriving at Stalag IX-A, a German prison camp.

As the highest-ranking American noncommissioned officer there, Edmonds was responsible for 1,292 prisoners.

Then came the order.

All Jewish soldiers were to report separately the next morning.

Everyone understood what that meant.

Separation was not administration.

It was a death sentence.

That night, Edmonds gathered his men and gave a simple instruction:

“All of you. Every American. Outside in formation tomorrow morning.”

The next day, the German commandant arrived expecting a small group.

Instead, he found 1,292 American prisoners standing shoulder to shoulder.

Furious, he shouted:

“They cannot all be Jews!”

Roddie Edmonds answered with four words that would echo across history:

“We are all Jews here.”

The commandant pulled out a pistol and pressed it against Edmonds’s forehead.

He threatened to shoot him if he did not identify the Jewish soldiers immediately.

Edmonds never moved.

Instead, he calmly reminded the officer that under the Geneva Convention, prisoners only had to give their name, rank, and serial number.

Then he said this:

“If you shoot, you’ll have to shoot all of us. And when this war is over — which it nearly is — you’ll be tried as a war criminal.”

The commandant lowered the gun.

Turned around.

And walked away.

About 200 Jewish-American soldiers were saved that morning because one man refused to divide his men into categories worth protecting and categories worth surrendering.

But Edmonds wasn’t finished.

Weeks later, the Germans ordered the prisoners onto another forced march through the snow.

Edmonds knew many would die.

So he secretly told his men to make themselves appear too sick to travel — eat dirt, grass, whatever it took.

When the Germans came, the Americans stayed behind.

Nearly all the prisoners forced onto the march died.

Edmonds’s men survived to be liberated by General Patton’s forces in March 1945.

And then?

Roddie Edmonds came home and said almost nothing about it.

No speeches.
No interviews.
No book deals.

He worked. Went to church. Raised his children.

He died in 1985.

His family knew he had been a POW.

They had no idea he had saved hundreds of lives.

The truth only resurfaced decades later after his son discovered his wartime diary and began contacting survivors whose names were written inside.

Again and again, they told the same story.

The same frozen morning.
The same pistol.
The same four words.

“We are all Jews here.”

In 2015, Yad Vashem recognized Roddie Edmonds as “Righteous Among the Nations” — the first American soldier ever to receive the honor.

And in 2026, more than 80 years after that moment in the prison yard, his son accepted the Medal of Honor on his behalf.

No battlefield charge.
No dramatic explosion.

Just moral courage.

A man staring down a loaded gun and refusing to hand over his soldiers.

One survivor later said:

“That such people can exist gives you hope for humanity.”

They do exist.

Roddie Edmonds was one of them.

The 15 minutes of fame of these two horrible, evil people is up.

I’m tired of seeing them already.

Part of having a horrible father is that it shows you what *not* to be as a father.

Currently looking for another job in Florida. Everyone has told me to take some time off for mental and physical health reasons, but I can’t. I simply wouldn’t feel right doing so.

One of the main reasons my family struggled growing up was because my father flat out *refused* to get a job, or when he did, keep a job. I watched my mom wake up and go to work every day because she had to. It always bothered me that this supposed “man of the house” did nothing but talk shit, watch his wife go to work and kids go to school, be useless and lazy all day, and then resume talking shit as soon as we all got home. Or he’d disappear for hours on end with no one knowing where he was or what he was doing.

I always say “do better, be better.” I hold myself to that standard as well.

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes yesterday. I had an amazing day by the pool with family. It’s was good seeing so many of you the algorithm has kept hidden.

Now -- do an analysis of how many J6 defendants had prior criminal convictions, and then compare their recidivism rate to the recidivism rate of that portion of the general population with a prior criminal history.

Then look at the percentage of J6 defendants who no criminal history prior to Jan. 6, and come back and let us know how many of THOSE defendants have new criminal offenses.

There percentage of my J6 clients with prior criminal histories was small, but it was nor 0%.

A small number -- 5 or less would be my guess -- had significant criminal histories.

I'm highly confident you hacks at Lawfare have done NOTHING in terms of having a control group to measure the J6 recidivism rate against.

An unfortunate reality of the American public is that people who have been convicted of a crime tend to re-offend at a much higher rate than those who have never been convicted of a crime.

This is how you know George is fully aware of his impending indictment.

While it was Beccera who lost hundreds of thousands of children during Puddin's four year lid, that fails to negate the part where dems have literally shown zero interest in saving children from trafficking.

So are congressional dems profiting from the trafficking of these children? Is that why they all voted NO yesterday for 100M going to fund the investigations into exploitation and trafficking and/or the rescue of child victims?

Okay this one was hilarious. 😂

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

This case is not just about one little girl fighting for her life - it is about every child and every parent. Let her go to a hospital that is willing to give her a chance - and let her parents be the ones to decide for her.

Boy, this is going to piss off tens of millions of us.  California is a one-party mobster state.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

Imagine being this dumb.

[AmericanPapaBear™ @AmericaPapaBear]

Black people were performing voodoo rituals and witchcraft outside of the Karmelo Anthony trial!

You literally can’t make this up.

If your movement needs voodoo, maybe rethink the case!

What is your guys reaction to this?

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

Meet Mary.

She’s a voter in Maine.

Mary is asking Senator Collins to fight for the SAVE America Act.

“We need integrity in our elections.”

“None of us want to see you lose to an outright communist.”

This is absurd. Once a ballot is received in Florida it is immediately logged as received. Once the election ends at 7pm on election night, we know how many ballots have been cast. Once you know the total number of ballots it closes off avenues for cheating.

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

This is how it’s done.

Eunuch Jimmy Dore’s pathological obsession with me is way beyond strange at this point. His daily crash outs with his lover Tucker are reaching Netflix special crazy. Can someone close to him call his momma and have her bring him some chicken soup or something?
