Please help us locate 5-year-old Zaimah Anderson. She was last seen June 11th, at approximately 1 p.m., near Fremont and Las Vegas Boulevard.

Zaimah is believed to be with Zaniyiah James, a family member and they both might be lost in the downtown area.

If you see them, please call 702-828-3111.

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

Ray Lambert had already been shot twice and blown up once before he ever set foot on Omaha Beach.

He had survived the invasion of North Africa in 1943. Then Sicily. Each time he had been wounded. Each time he had gone back. By June 6th, 1944, the 23-year-old Staff Sergeant and head medic of the 16th Infantry Regiment's 2nd Battalion was on his third invasion in two years. He had already won a Silver Star for running through German lines in North Africa to drag wounded men out.

He was not supposed to survive a third one.

Lambert landed in the first wave at Omaha Beach. Of the 31 men in his landing craft, only 7 survived the day. The other 24 were killed before they even reached the sand.

He started working immediately.

The first bullet hit his right arm and shattered the bone. He kept going. A second round tore through his right elbow as he was pulling a wounded soldier through the surf. He kept going. Something hit his leg and opened it down to the bone. He put a tourniquet on himself, injected himself with morphine from his own kit, and kept going.

He found a slab of concrete on the beach that offered a few inches of cover. He set up a treatment zone behind it, dragging men out of the water and working on them one by one under constant fire. That piece of concrete is still there today. People who visit Omaha Beach call it Ray's Rock.

Then a loose landing craft ramp swung loose in the surf and slammed into him. It broke his back.

He kept going.

Lambert lost count of how many men he treated. The official record credits him with saving at least 15 lives that morning. Other accounts say closer to two dozen. He worked until his body physically stopped, collapsing unconscious at the edge of the surf, bleeding from multiple wounds, his back broken, still in the water.

A doctor spotted him. A landing craft pulled him out.

Here is the part that does not feel real.

Lambert's brother, Euel, had also been wounded at Normandy that day. The two brothers were loaded onto the same evacuation landing craft. They were placed in the same wheeled ambulance. They were taken to the same tent hospital in England. They were brought into the same operating room at the same time.

Lambert spent almost a full year recovering before he could walk properly again.

He went home. He lived quietly for decades, rarely talking about what happened. In 2019, at the age of 98, he went back to Normandy and stood on the beach again. He published a memoir called Every Man a Hero. It became a New York Times bestseller.

In 2021, Ray Lambert died peacefully at home. He was 100 years old.

He had three invasions, four serious wounds, a broken back, a Silver Star, multiple Bronze Stars, multiple Purple Hearts, and two dozen men who came home because he refused to stop moving on the worst morning in American military history.

Today is June 6th.

Remember him.

This is it.

Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales.

This is the reason.

The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free.

This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen.

We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.

For those who voted for President Trump in 2024, I’m sure everyone understands the following:

1. You voted for a 4-year term.
2. You voted based on President Trump’s campaign promises and policies.
3. You voted because you wanted President Trump to Make America Great Again.
4. You voted because you were tired of weak leadership, open borders, inflation, endless wars, and a government that stopped listening to ordinary Americans.
5. You voted because you understood that America was heading in the wrong direction culturally, economically, and politically and needed a complete course correction.

Now realistically speaking, within 4 years, President Trump can disrupt the establishment, expose corruption, restore accountability, reset foreign and domestic policy priorities, rebuild confidence in American institutions, strengthen the economy, secure the border, and put the country back on the right trajectory. But no President can completely undo decades of damage in a single term. The goal is to lay down strong foundations, create momentum, and leave behind a framework that future leadership can continue building on.

As you all know, America operates through 3 branches of government:

- The Executive Branch
- The Judicial Branch
- The Legislative Branch

And the Legislative Branch consists of the people YOU voted for in your districts and states.

Given that Republicans hold the House, the Senate, and the White House, many Americans assumed President Trump would be able to achieve historic accomplishments at record speed.

But now we are seeing what many already suspected.

The RINOs will ALWAYS be a roadblock.

The MOST important thing people need to understand is this:

The President realistically has just over 2 years left before his term is up. That is NOT a lot of time.

This is why these are NOT normal times and this CANNOT be treated like business as usual.

ANY Republican that actively works against President Trump’s agenda, slow walks legislation, sides with Democrats to block momentum, or spends more time grandstanding on TV than delivering results is standing in the way of the MAGA movement. Period.

The President can only do so much through Executive Orders. Executive action can set things in motion, but Executive Orders can also be reversed by the next administration.

That is why the Legislative Branch is absolutely critical.

Congress must CODIFY these policies into law so they are locked in long term.

That means:

- Border security must be codified.
- Election integrity measures must be codified.
- America First economic policies must be codified.
- Government accountability measures must be codified.
- Protections against weaponized institutions must be codified.

And if Republicans in the House or Senate refuse to fight with urgency, refuse to support the mandate voters gave President Trump, or continue playing political games while the clock is ticking, THEY MUST GO.

Primary them.
Replace them.
Clean house in the midterms.

Because this movement is bigger than any individual politician.

The American people voted for change, not excuses. They voted for action, not delays. They voted to reverse national decline, not preserve the same broken system with a different label attached to it.

These are not normal times.

America does NOT have the luxury of moving slowly anymore.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Do you know what happened in the last 24 hours?

1. Late on Thursday night @FBI agents landed at New York Stewart International Airport with Mohammad al Saadi in handcuffs. Al Saadi, the leader of an Iran-backed Iraqi terror group is allegedly responsible for more than 20 attacks across Europe and Canada and for planning attacks in the U.S..

2. Jose Enrique Martinez Flores, who goes by “Chuqui," the highest ranking Tren de Aragua leader to be extradited to the U.S., also just landed in the U.S. in shackles. Flores allegedly oversaw TdA’s drug trafficking, extortion rackets, prostitution rings and murder operations.

Then, last night, in an operation that makes any fictional representation look amateurish, American operators, working with local Nigerian forces, killed Abu-Bilal-al-Minuki, the second in command for ISIS global operations, a man with the blood of countless innocents on his hands, including many Christians.

This is just one day in the Counterterrorism operations of President @realDonaldTrump.

We salute the intelligence professionals, Law Enforcement Officers, Diplomats, Military operators and support personnel who make these operations possible 24/7.

Char on a steak contains heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds, in extremely high doses, in isolated laboratory conditions, in rats, have shown carcinogenic effects.

The doses used in those studies, scaled to human equivalents, would require you to consume the charred outer crust of approximately several thousand steaks per day for the rest of your life.

Humans have been cooking meat over open fire for somewhere between two hundred thousand and a million years. The crust on a roasted joint, the bark on a brisket, the blackened edges of a chop pulled from the embers: this is the food our species was built around.

If burnt-edge beef caused cancer at the rate the headlines imply, we would not be here to read the headlines.

Eat the steak.

Enjoy the crust.

Attitude is a choice.
Gratitude is a discipline.
Bitterness is expensive.

Nobody accidentally has a great attitude.
Nobody stumbles into gratitude.
And nobody means to end up bitter, it just quietly moves in when you stop choosing something better.
Guard your peace like it cost you something.
Because it did.

I am going to completely decimate any more talk about white privilege in this country forever. Sit down, grab a drink and stay for a few minutes.

Let’s talk about what “white privilege” has gotten me:

White privilege is knowing your father ate eggs for every meal for weeks at a time to provide for his family.

White privilege is growing up in a life of poverty.

White privilege is signing the “dotted line” to join the U.S. Army knowing that I would spend years away from family and friends.

White privilege is getting shot at and blown up for his country and still having shrapnel in your right leg.

White privilege is spending over a decade in therapy because I could not feel emotion anymore.

White privilege is drinking yourself into a coma every night so you could sleep in the past.

White privilege is knowing your friend put a bullet in his head because he couldn’t cope with his combat experiences.

White privilege is having to fight every step of the way in life in order to better one’s life.

There is no such thing as white privilege. If you are an American, you are absolutely PRIVILEGED. I have traveled to over 30 countries and I KNOW that America is the greatest country on the planet.

To add to all of this, DEI and equity was strategically racist but now in reverse order.

If you have to make everything about skin color, you are in fact, the ACTUAL racist. I will never apologize for thinking this.

This is just an excuse for lazy human beings that want to place the blame of their own failures in life onto someone else’s skin color. It’s absolute bullsh*t and everyone knows it.

Just because you don’t like what I have to say or how I say it doesn’t make it any less true.

There is zero accountability anymore and everyone is absolutely sick of it.

Grow a fcking pair and work for what you have like every other adult in America.

Good talk.
