United States Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer and Petty Officer Scott Ruskin, directly saved an astonishing 165 victims in the devastating flooding in central Texas.
This was the first rescue mission of his career and he was the only triage coordinator at the scene.
Scott Ruskin is an American hero.
His selfless courage embodies the spirit and mission of the @USCG.
According to the latest polls, 13% of Democrats support the Islamic Republic of Iran and 52% are unsure—while 80% of Iranians themselves oppose the regime.
The Islamic Republic has a higher approval rating among U.S. Democrats than actual Iranians. Let that sink in.
I’m a Heisman voter. I am DISGUSTED at the disrespect that #Vols RB Dylan Sampson is getting. He shattered multiple records that had been in place for decades. Some of these guys had good seasons (Travis Hunter and Dillon Gabriel) but they didn’t have program record shattering season that Dylan Sampson had. If Dylan Sampson played for Texas, Georgia, or Alabama he would have gotten the invitation to New York. The disrespect is crazy! Go prove the nation wrong in a few weeks young man! #GBO #heisman
Happy Thanksgiving -- and, of course, thanks to God for His blessings on the greatest nation in the history of the planet.
"Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor-- and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me to recommend to the People of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many signal favors of Almighty God especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.
Now therefore I do recommend and assign Thursday the 26th day of November next to be devoted by the People of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being, who is the beneficent Author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be-- That we may then all unite in rendering unto him our sincere and humble thanks--for his kind care and protection of the People of this Country previous to their becoming a Nation--for the signal and manifold mercies, and the favorable interpositions of his Providence which we experienced in the course and conclusion of the late war--for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty, which we have since enjoyed--for the peaceable and rational manner, in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national One now lately instituted--for the civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed; and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and in general for all the great and various favors which he hath been pleased to confer upon us.
And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech him to pardon our national and other transgressions-- to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually--to render our national government a blessing to all the people, by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed--to protect and guide all Sovereigns and Nations (especially such as have shewn kindness unto us) and to bless them with good government, peace, and concord--To promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the encrease of science among them and us--and generally to grant unto all Mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as he alone knows to be best."
-- George Washington, 1789

Shohei Ohtani’s game today will go down as one of the most unprecedented games in all of sport. 6-6. 10 RBIs. 3 HR’s. 2 SB’s. 1st player to enter the 50/50 club. Broke the @Dodgers single season HR record.
We’re witnessing one of the most unique athletes of all time.
