SHADOW WARTHOGS HOME FROM IRAN — Exclusive Nose Art Drop at Moody AFB
These A-10C Thunderbolt IIs just rolled back onto the flight line at Moody AFB after flying combat operations in support of some very sensitive work over Iran.
A follower trusted me with these exclusive shots straight from the ramp. For obvious OPSEC reasons I’m not going any deeper on the missions, the units, or the timelines, but the jets themselves are talking loud and clear.
Swipe through this insane collection of nose art and mission markings:
Doc Holliday staring you down with “Criminals + Vagrants… BEWARE.”
The Grim Reaper himself mid-swing.
King Dedede living his best life.
Diddy Kong riding a jet engine like it’s a banana barrel.
Samus Aran locked and loaded in full power suit.
Macho Man Randy Savage — “The Cream of the Crop.”
Lil Mac throwing hands with the “K.O.” tally.
And Ridley, the Metroid nightmare, repping on the final frame.
These aren’t just morale paint jobs. Look at the rows of mission tallies and ordnance marks along the fuselages, every single one represents a real sortie into contested airspace. Did you guys catch the two boats??
One of these Warthogs was directly involved in the combat recovery of an F-15 pilot and weapons officer who went down over Iran. In the background of the shots you can see the F-15 tail with the words “That Others May Live”, the sacred motto of the rescue forces. When the call came, the A-10 answered. Close air support, on-station protection, and the quiet work of bringing our people home.
This is the side of airpower that stays in the gray. No fanfare. No press releases. Just lethal, ugly, beautiful Warthogs doing what they were built to do, and then disappearing back into the shadows until the next time they’re needed.
Huge respect to the crews who flew these jets home and to the follower who shared them with me.

Stopped for gas in Kentucky… saw the sign ‘We have disco bathrooms’ and thought it was a joke 😂
Went in, spotted the big red button that said ‘DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON’… obviously I pushed it.
Next thing I know, lights out, disco ball spinning, and I’m having an impromptu dance party in the bathroom! 💃🕺✨ Who else is hitting every Hop Shop on the road trip now?!
Never trust a button that tells you not to push it! 😂
If referee team not seeing this, they need to be stopped handling other games. If they are deciding (or have been told to not give) that this not foul, someone in charge needs to think again. Cheats allowed to prosper is not football. Not pro-Scot or anti-Morocco. (Am a ref.)
.@SECWAR just told the story of Medal of Honor recipient Major James Capers Jr.
“When President Johnson ordered Jim Capers to rescue our POWs, Capers saluted and deployed. He first arrived at one of those awful camps thinking our men would be there, but the enemy had moved them.
Capers looked at that place where the communists held and tortured our men, and he said, ‘NEVER AGAIN.’
He declared, ‘This camp will not hold another American Marine or soldier!’
And, so, Jim Capers and his men burned that camp to the ground...”
🚨 WOW! Major Capers just went maximum selfless patriot mode after President Trump gave him the Medal of Honor
"I can't say I'm happy to be here because this award belongs to a lot of young men who followed me and died in battlefields around this world for a country that we honor this flag."
"There's no real satisfaction in getting a medal when I've lost so much."
"We're one unit. When one falls, somebody else has to replace that one, that person who fell."
"I feel honored to have the support that I find today. I'm honored. And I give gratitude to the ones who made this happen."
"When your men are in peril and you have an opportunity to save your men, I chose to get off the helicopter to lighten the load."
Living legend.
With all this talk about Newsom being under DOJ investigation. Take a look at this CA Dem Director we caught on hidden camera talking about how Newsom is using Prop 50 fundraising to funnel it into his own 2028 Presidential campaign.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
⛳️ A beautiful day on the course for a meaningful cause. @ChiefKDavis joined law enforcement leaders from across the National Capital Region at the annual Heroes, Inc. Golf Tournament, helping support the families of fallen law enforcement officers and firefighters.
"The enemy smelled our blood and thought we were prey. They forgot that a wounded animal is the most lethal. We tore that jungle apart to stay alive."
Major James Capers Jr stands as one of the greatest Recon Marines to ever do it. He enlisted in the Corps and fought his way into Force Recon where he became the leader of Team Broadminded. He completed more than 60 long range patrols and five major campaigns in Vietnam.
In 1967 near Phu Loc he was wounded 19 times while fighting a numerically superior enemy force. With broken legs, shrapnel across his body he refused evacuation until every Marine on his 9 man team was lifted out. His Silver Star citation states he continued to coordinate fire and movement under direct and indirect fire while suffering extreme blood loss.
That Silver Star, originally downgraded after his commander was kill*d and the Medal of Honor paperwork lost, is now being formally upgraded to the Medal of Honor. Capers was not only a mustang, he earned a battlefield commission in combat, a rare honor that speaks to the trust his Marines placed in him.
At eighty eight he remains a giant, a warrior who carried his team through hell and set the standard every Recon Marine still measures himself against.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

Recordatorio de que en el mundial de Qatar, en el partido de Argentina que iba perdiendo añadieron 8 minutos y acabaron dando 14 hasta que empataron.
La no expulsión de Messi es solo el principio.
