In 2007, US Navy SEAL Mike Day was shot 27 times by al-Qaeda militants in his legs, arms, abdomen, buttocks, and scrotum, and then knocked unconscious by a grenade blast.
He somehow regained consciousness, got back up on his feet, and single-handedly killed all four militants who’d just unloaded on him.
Then, still bleeding from 27 gunshot wounds and a grenade explosion, he walked out under his own power.
No assistance. No stretcher. Just pure grit.
Mike's story is one of the most insane displays of human resilience in modern military history.
The benefits of acquiring Greenland would be very substantial. There's no question that it would be a smart move both strategically and economically. The people laughing it off just don't know what the hell they're talking about. We've grown so accustomed to the USA languishing in a state of stagnation, treading water aimlessly, that we're shocked by a president who actually wants to expand, claim new territory, and aggressively pursue greater power and more resources for the sake of his people. But this is what leaders are supposed to do. And what most American presidents did in fact do, until recently. Expansion is the American way. It has been since literally the first moments of its existence. If Americans in the 1800s were as timid and weak as some of the naysayers today, we never would have even reached the Pacific.
The average IQ in Somalia is 68, which is below the line for mental retardation. 7 out of 10 Somalians live in poverty. Their per capita GDP is 1,000 dollars (USA is 90,000). Somalia does not have a functional waste management system. The tallest fully constructed building in the country is 10 stories. So where is this Somali excellence exactly?
.@POTUS: "Countries like Somalia, that have virtually no government, no military — all they do is go around killing each other, then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. WE DON'T WANT THEM."
FORMER FINANCE PROFESSOR TAD SMITH:
"After 25 years teaching finance, I realized at 58: If the money printer grows 8-10% annually and the S&P 500 returns ~9%, it’s just treading water. True wealth comes from outpacing the printer. That’s the #Bitcoin journey."
