Audie Murphy was rejected by the Marines and paratroopers for being too small, but he ultimately joined the U.S. Army and became the most decorated American combat soldier of World War II. In January 1945, near Holtzwihr, France, Murphy climbed onto a burning tank destroyer and single-handedly fought off a German assault with a .50-caliber machine gun. Despite being wounded and exposed to enemy fire from three sides, he held his position for nearly an hour before returning to his men and leading a counterattack. His actions earned him the Medal of Honor before his 20th birthday.
Murphy’s courage did not end on the battlefield. After returning home, he became a successful Hollywood actor, but privately struggled with severe combat trauma and an addiction to sleeping pills. At a time when few public figures spoke openly about the psychological effects of war, Murphy shared his experiences and pushed for the government to take the suffering of returning veterans more seriously.
Ryan Holiday reflects on the different forms Murphy’s courage took throughout his life. He displayed physical courage in combat, moral courage by refusing lucrative cigarette and alcohol endorsements, and personal courage by admitting that he was struggling.

UFO NEWS ~
Review of the latest UFO / UAP news, including former intelligence analyst Sarah Gamm confirming unreleased UFO imagery and accusing AARO of refusing UAP Task Force data, NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman admitting the government holds unexplained UAP footage, and a Welsh priest arguing the Bible points to non-human intelligence.
🚨 HOLY CRAP, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary CONFIRMED the FDA purposefully lied to the people for nearly 2 decades against dietary fats to help Big Pharma
People avoided fat and ate MORE SUGAR, so Pharma could sell them more drugs.
RFK Jr. just declared open WAR on added sugar
“They suppressed the data for 16 years…Those in the low-fat group had higher rates of heart attacks!”
“We created a generation of children with low protein, high carbohydrates, sugar addiction, and burdened with ultra-processed foods, and what did we do as a medical field? Drugged them at scale!”
“Those days are OVER. We are telling people the truth about food.”
MAHA WILL WIN!

I find it interesting that there appears to be a total media blackout & suppression pattern regarding Fauci & the recent official Tulsi Gabbard ODNI releases with new communications, emails, and notes (NOT fringe claims) challenging Fauci's sworn statements, raising serious questions on funding, COVID origins & transparency. CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, & Washington Post: No prime-time segments, front-page treatments, or in-depth reporting in available searches & transcripts.
"Why is Bill Clinton NOW Defending Donald Trump when it comes to the EPSTEIN FILES?!"
Julian UNLOADS on the bitter hate and rivalry between the two.
But now, in 2026, they are friends... again?
@juliandorey
If the provision in the NDAA to integrate/synchronize the U.S. and Israeli militaries (section 224) makes it out of committee, I’ll offer an amendment to strip it from the bill on the floor.
We are a sovereign country.

Duncan Trussell: "This war sh*t bugs me. I feel so stupid. When they were doing their no war thing, that was a big deal to me. No more wars, f*ck yes, focus on the country, why are we blowing up children in other countries for oil? It's literally the opposite now."
Who cares. You now defend glyphosate after campaigning against it as a nefarious poison for years. You claimed to defend children's health but then defended the mass murder, maiming and starvation of multitudes of children in Gaza. You once railed against mass surveillance and the militarization of healthcare but now market surveillance wearables as essential to American "health" and are still letting military/intelligence contractor Palantir run all of HHS' data.
You have absolutely zero credibility and are a salesman for what you once claimed to hate.
Yes, lottery records confirm the Zorro Trust claimed the July 2, 2008, Oklahoma Powerball jackpot (advertised $85M, cash value ~$41M). It took the lump-sum payout of $29.3M after taxes.
This matches the Zorro Trust Epstein used for his New Mexico ranch (purchased 1993). 2026-released DOJ files explicitly tie it to him winning an ~$80M lottery (minor discrepancies in state/amount noted). Contemporary 2008 reports (Oklahoman, Journal Record) name only the anonymous trust—no fraud proven, process standard per officials.
