Make sure you’re sitting down for this

An elementary school principal in NC was just found not guilty of s*xually abusing a 9-yr-old student.

Right after the allegations were made, the student’s family applied for a U Visa because they were “victims of a crime.”

They dragged this beloved principal through three years of legal battle, destroying his career and reputation, until his name was finally cleared.

The student himself retracted the entire allegation and said he felt bad because the principal was so nice. The teacher in the room at the time of the fake assauIt also said it never happened.

This is much more common than you think. There’s an entire industry helping foreigners become “victims” of fake crimes so they can gain legal status.

There should be severe consequences for the lawyers, activists, organizations, and illegals who destroy the lives of innocent Americans for this visa scam.

We need a major crackdown in this type of visa scam @SecRubio.

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯 @japan_nobunaga]

In Japan, climbing 12,388-foot Mount Fuji is a once-in-a-lifetime test of spirit.

Five off-duty U.S. Marines treated it like a pleasant afternoon hike, and then carried an unconscious Japanese woman two miles down a volcano by hand.

On July 3, 2017, right at the opening of climbing season, five young Marines were making their way up Mount Fuji carrying those classic wooden souvenir walking sticks they stamp at each mountain station.

High on the steep volcanic gravel trail, where the air grows thin and every step slides backward in loose cinders, they came across a Japanese woman who had collapsed unconscious from severe hyperventilation.

An ambulance cannot drive up the side of Mount Fuji. Even walking down empty-handed wrecks your knees.

Those five Marines did not wait around hoping somebody else would figure it out. Right there on the mountain, they put their heads together, built a simple improvised stretcher out of what they had, lifted her gently onto it, and started walking down.

Not for two hundred yards. For two full miles.

Three point two kilometers of steep, ankle-twisting volcanic rock in thin mountain air, trading corners of that handmade litter until they delivered her safely into medical hands.

When U.S. Forces Japan shared a photo of the five Marines smiling in their boots with their wooden Fuji sticks, Japanese comments flooded in with gratitude, plus one observation that made our whole country smile:

Only U.S. Marines could carry a human being down Japan's tallest volcano and casually call their day off "hiking."

Thank you, gentlemen. Japan still remembers.

身家万亿的老板，正趴在一百米高空，摸一艘刚从太空掉下来的“废铁”。

评论区都在操心：刚落地的火箭，凑这么近不怕炸吗？

其实老马不傻。飞船下午3点20挂上筷子臂，他在塔底下老老实实等了两个半小时，直到安全插销锁死、剩油全部抽干，5点半才坐电梯上去。

真要是去摆拍发朋友圈，落地那一秒就该冲上去了。他非得亲自爬上去，原因很简单：

1. 去看真伤情：这是人类第一次接住从太空轨道回来的飞船。在天上飞了22.5小时，扔了26颗星链V3，再顶着几千度高温冲回地面。隔热瓦掉了几块？被烧成彩虹色的不锈钢外壳有没有内伤？要修多久才能接着飞？这些答案电脑算不出来，PPT上也没有，全写在飞船的伤疤上。

2. 去救半场残局：这次试飞，底下那节助推器因为没油，掉进墨西哥湾炸了。等于今天只成功了一半，这艘飞船是全场唯一的活口。作为总工程师，他不亲手摸一遍底，接下来的发射排期根本没法拍板。

当然，除了去验货，他还有点私心。

23年前，马斯克在斯坦福吹了个牛，说想往火星送一颗种子。
23年后的今天，那艘真正能把种子送去火星的船，第一次从太空活着回来了。

所以他上塔之后，伸手抱了抱这艘刚从火海里捞出来、掉着黑渣的飞船。
换作是你，苦熬23年看到它活着回来，你也得上去抱一下。

你们觉得，星舰离像坐飞机一样当天往返，最难啃的骨头还剩什么？

Fourteen Starships came home before this one and every one ended up in the ocean, until now.

What a staggering feat of precision engineering to bring a spaceship back from orbital velocity, through the fire of reentry, and into the arms of the tower.

Here’s a great explainer of why it's so hard to do:

New video reveals former Capitol Hill Police Officer behaving as if he knew about the DNC pipe bomb before it was found, and anxiously awaited its discovery. More evidence suggests the J6 pipe bombs were part of an inside job or botched training exercise that’s being covered-up.

-It’s not a human.
-It belongs to me.
-I can do what I want with it
Believing that mothers have the right to sterilize, mutilate, and kill their babies, as you so smugly appear to, is the same property rights argument as slavery, bigot.
The mask always slips.

Europa so:

Elon is like the inverse of government. When he employs a hundred thousand people, it’s very visible and obvious what they actually do…and they’re very good at it.

L'ONU a finalement été démasquée par Bukele.
L'ONU a acheminé plus de 22 milliards de dollars à Haïti par son intermédiaire durant ses 30 années au pouvoir. Bukele a fait baisser le taux de criminalité en Haïti en trois semaines.

[Rothmus 🏴 @Rothmus]

NASA: $61,700 per kilo to orbit

SpaceX: $1,400

The Shuttle was a $200B government money pit that barely flew and exploded twice, while Saturn V was already better at $5,200/kg.

Then one private company cut the cost 44x while actually reusing the rockets.

The difference is the incentive to get paid for making things work.

The profit and loss system is a miracle.
