The window of opportunity would only last a few hours. Our aquatic biologist, Eric Gardunio, knew it was the best (& maybe only) chance to save a very rare native fish from the nearby Gold Mtn Fire. Staff would have to go into the fire zone + get out fast. Could it be done?
After this performance the band did an interview saying this was the best performance they have ever done. Just this song. Everyone was on cue. Perfect. Not a note missed by anyone. Pitch. Tone. Timing. All perfect. They said they never performed this good ever before. And you can clearly tell.❤️

Israel detonated 700 tons of explosives beneath Beaufort Castle in South Lebanon, in the middle of the night.

It is with profound sorrow that we bid farewell to Jeanne Gibson, our beloved Rosie the Riveter, has passed away today, July 29, 2026, at the remarkable age of 100. With her passing, we don't simply mourn the loss of a beloved friend, we honor the life of an American hero whose courage, dedication, and unwavering spirit helped shape history, and will continue to inspire generations to come.📷📷
At just 18 years old, Jeanne left her home in Minnesota in the summer of 1944 and answered her nation's call, becoming a welder at Todd Pacific Shipyards in Seattle. With determination and grit, she helped build destroyers that strengthened the Allied war effort during World War II. She later continued her service with the Army Transportation Corps in Juneau, Alaska, embodying the resilience and patriotism of the Greatest Generation.
Yet Jeanne's legacy extended far beyond the war. She earned her Ph.D., dedicated three decades to teaching, earned her private pilot license, and spent the rest of her life proving that courage, determination, and purpose know no age.
In 2024, Jeanne and her fellow Rosies were collectively awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of our nation's highest civilian honors, recognizing the extraordinary women whose sacrifices and determination helped secure victory during World War II.
To all of us at Pacific Historic Parks, Jeanne was far more than a Rosie, she was family. She traveled to Hawaiʻi time and again to share her remarkable story with visitors, inspire local students, and ensure that the sacrifices of the Home Front would never be forgotten. Her radiant smile, generous heart, and boundless enthusiasm touched every life she encountered.
She had a special gift for encouraging young girls, reminding them that no dream was too big and no obstacle too great. Through her words and her example, she inspired generations to believe in themselves and pursue lives of courage, service, and purpose.
Jeanne remained a tireless advocate for preserving the legacy of the Rosies, volunteering at Rosie the Riveter WWII Home Front National Historical Park on "Rosie Fridays" and ensuring the stories of the women who helped win the war would continue to inspire future generations.
In one of life's poignant moments, just days before her passing, Jeanne was celebrated with a Wall of Honor banner at the park she loved so dearly and recognized during a San Jose Earthquakes halftime ceremony honoring Bay Area heroes. It was a fitting tribute to a woman whose life was defined by selfless service, quiet strength, and extraordinary grace.
Though Jeanne has taken her final flight, her legacy will never fade. It lives on in every story she shared, every young person she inspired, every life she touched, and in the enduring example of courage she leaves behind.
Our hearts are with Jeanne's family, her fellow Rosies, and all who were blessed to know and love her.
Rest in peace, Jeanne Gibson.
Thank you for answering the call when your country needed you most. Thank you for showing generations what courage looks like. We will remember you always
Trump wants the draft in full effect within 3 weeks.
Just as we merge our military with Israeli intelligence.
I'm sure there's absolutely NOTHING to see here.
Maybe we should make a bigger deal that an employee of the Heritage Foundation tried to walk into congress with a loaded gun magazine while also carrying pills that tested positive for cocaine and fentanyl
Last night I captured a steady stream of what appear to be UH-60 Black Hawk choppers in stealth mode hovering over the West Palm Beach courthouse building over the course of about two hours. In one video, you can see six operators repelling off the military aircraft onto the rooftop of the building which has no helipad. I could find no public reports of training exercises that occurred last night.
I wonder if that courthouse still holds Jeffrey Epstein records or evidence?
BREAKING: Trump administration moves to TERMINATE Biden-era Medicare program that helped seniors afford medication.
Millions of seniors and disabled Americans are about to feel the pain of a decision made in a corporate boardroom, dressed up by the Trump regime as fiscal responsibility.
The Trump administration announced that it's ending a Biden-era Medicare Part D subsidy program that helped cap out-of-pocket prescription drug costs at $2,000 annually and allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prices on high-cost drugs. The subsidy expires at the end of this year, with no replacement offered for 2027. About 25 million Americans currently rely on standalone Part D plans to afford their medications.
CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz tried to spin this as good news, claiming premiums will rise by "less than $10 for most Medicare recipients," insisting "we are stabilizing the market so this bailout is no longer needed."
Let's be clear about who actually benefited from this soon-to-be-canceled program: not insurance companies padding their profits, but seniors and disabled Americans trying to afford insulin, heart medication, and cancer treatments without going broke.
The Biden-era reform was specifically designed to protect patients from catastrophic drug costs and give Medicare real negotiating power against Big Pharma. Ending it doesn't stabilize anything — it just shifts costs back onto the people who can least afford them.
And here's the kicker: CMS won't even release actual cost details until mid-to-late September, meaning millions of seniors are being told their financial safety net is disappearing without knowing what they'll actually owe when it does.
This is the same administration that's spent the year gutting food safety oversight, defunding vaccine research, and slashing public health infrastructure — all while insisting they're "protecting" Americans. Now they're coming for the prescription drug protections that keep seniors from needing to choose between medication and groceries.
Dr. Oz can call it "stabilizing the market" all he wants. For millions of Americans on fixed incomes, it's one more essential protection quietly stripped away, timed conveniently for after this year's headlines fade and before next year's bills arrive.
Please like and share if you think the federal government should be increasing medical subsidies for all Americans, not just seniors!
BREAKING: Democrat Josh Turek just dropped this epic new ad featuring President Obama endorsing his campaign for U.S. Senate in Iowa. Turek has a real chance to defeat MAGA Republican Ashley Hinson and flip the state blue. This is incredible.
🚨 NEWS: The Trump administration plans to END a Medicare subsidy program that has helped keep prescription drug plan premiums down for seniors, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The program will expire after 2026, potentially leaving millions of seniors facing HIGHER Part D premiums in 2027.
Roughly 25 MILLION Americans have Medicare Part D plans and will learn their 2027 rates this fall.
