Fifty years ago today, Air France Captain Michel Bacos showed the world what true moral courage looks like.

When Flight 139 was hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Entebbe, the non-Jewish passengers were eventually released. Bacos and his crew were also offered their freedom.

However, Bacos, who also served in the French army under DeGaulle, refused to leave his Jewish passengers. All his crew also refused, without exception.

Instead, they chose to remain alongside the 94 Jewish hostages, fully aware of the danger they faced. As Bacos later said, abandoning his passengers was simply "unimaginable."

Days later, they were freed in the legendary Israeli rescue mission, Operation Entebbe, led by Yoni Netanyahu, who would die in the battle.

For his extraordinary courage, Bacos was honoured by both France and Israel. Yet his greatest legacy was not the medals he received, but the example he set: that decency, duty and humanity must never yield to terror or antisemitism.

Michel Bacos was a true hero. May his life, his courage and his memory forever be a blessing and an inspiration.

I’ve referred Anthony Fauci to the DOJ for prosecution on 4 different occasions. Two under Joe Biden. Two under Donald Trump. 

We have another opportunity to hold Dr. Fauci accountable. I’m hopeful the DOJ will act.

Abdikerm Eidleh was an alleged ringleader of one of the largest fraud scandals in the history of the country - orchestrating a massive $250 million scheme to steal critical food resources from vulnerable Americans who needed it and spent the money on luxury cars and mansions, as shameless as it gets.

But thanks to a brilliant op from this FBI and our great partners - we got him in Somalia, and he will now face justice.

To date the FBI has systematically dismantled the ‘Feeding our Future’ web of corruption and arrested over 70 members in the case - we will continue working every single day to wipe out fraud across the country.

Fear is a natural instinct,
yet it often masks the truth.

Facing it reveals
your greatest strength.

Place one hand on your heart.
Ask: what is this fear trying to protect? ♥️

A young Freddie Mercury poses during Queen's very first official studio photoshoot in London, 1973. Rocking a feathered cavalier hat, a favorite silver fox fur jacket, and a dramatic cloud of smoke, he was already defining the bold, camp, and glamorous style that would alter rock history forever. Photo by Michael Putland.

Did you know that the fur jacket Freddie Mercury is wearing here was one of his absolute favorite wardrobe pieces? He loved it so much that he wore it regularly on stage and for television appearances between 1973 and 1977—most famously for Queen’s breakthrough Killer Queen performance on Top of the Pops in 1974.

What is your all-time favorite iconic Freddie Mercury outfit? Let us know in the comments!
