The last time the Carolina Hurricanes lost back-to-back games was January 13th.

The season is over.

They just won the Stanley Cup.

This is an all-time great hockey team.

This is why you invest in non-traditional markets. It might take time, but the game grows.

Last month, solar power generated 12.8% of electricity in the U.S. while coal was responsible for 12.2%.

It’s the first time in history that solar accounted for more energy than coal. 🔋 https://t.co/yMxwOduobq

Tell us about the time you stole billions from Medicare, Rick.

A woman who had relied on her dog through two years of chemotherapy finished her final cancer treatment, and the very next morning he began pressing his nose against the same spot on her chest and whimpering without stopping. She assumed he was reacting to the change in routine until three days of the same behavior pushed her to call her doctor and ask them to check the area. 🥺 They found a new tumor so small it wouldn’t have appeared on any scan for another two months — by which point it would have been nearly impossible to treat. Her dog had spent two years beside her through every treatment, and the day it was over he made sure she wasn’t finished fighting just yet.

June 5, 1944. 3:30am.

Eisenhower woke to howling wind and hard rain. At 4:15am, in a water-soaked tent, his meteorologist James Stagg told him: there's a 24-hour break in the storm coming. One window. Miss it, and the next date is June 19.

He had 5,000 ships and 160,000 men already moving toward France.

He said: "OK. Let's go."

That evening at 8:30pm, he drove to Greenham Common to stand among the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne. He had just been privately briefed they could expect 80% casualties. He didn't show it. He walked through the crowd, shaking hands, asking names, asking where men were from.

One soldier, Lt. Wallace Strobel, said Michigan.

Eisenhower smiled. "Oh, Michigan. I used to fish there. Great fishing in Michigan."

Witnesses said his eyes were wet when he got back in the car.

That night, alone, he wrote four sentences and stuffed the paper in his pocket:

"Our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

He misdated it "July 5." His mind was somewhere else.

Meanwhile, across the Channel, Field Marshal Rommel was in his staff car rolling through Germany toward home. His wife Lucie was turning 50 tomorrow. He had brought her a pair of shoes from Paris.

The Germans had no Atlantic weather stations. Their meteorologists had told high command: no invasion is possible in this weather. Rommel genuinely believed they had weeks.

The paratroopers jumped at midnight.

Out of 16.4 million Americans who served in WWII, only about 40,000 are still alive.

They’re dying at a rate of ~100 per day.

These are the heroes who saved the world from tyranny.

Find one. Thank one. Listen to their stories.

While you still can.

The Dallas Mavericks drafting Luka Doncic AND Jalen Brunson in the same draft AND not having either one of them now is generational incompetence.
