Private Carlton Barrett was possibly the smallest man in his regiment.
5 feet 4 inches tall. 125 pounds.
On the morning of June 6, 1944, he landed at Omaha Beach in neck-deep water, machine gun fire cutting the surface all around him. He made it to shore.
Then he turned around and went back in.
A soldier was drowning. Barrett pulled him out. Then another. Then another. For hours, under constant fire, this 125-pound man waded back into the surf again and again, pulling drowning men to safety and physically carrying the wounded to evacuation boats offshore.
But he didn't stop there.
He ran dispatches the full length of the fire-swept beach. He found soldiers paralyzed by shock and calmed them back into action. He appeared wherever the crisis was worst, doing whatever needed doing, treating rank and personal safety as irrelevant details.
He did this for hours without stopping.
His Medal of Honor citation says his courage had "an inestimable effect on his comrades." That is military understatement for: this small, anonymous man held that section of beach together through sheer force of will.
He survived the war.
His comrades later said his life darkened after he came home. He lived quietly and died in 1986 in California, largely unknown outside of military history circles.
5 feet 4 inches. 125 pounds. He went back in.
Remember him.
Because I’m exhausted, I’m going to do a video thread tomorrow covering today’s testimony in more detail. I got about two hours of sleep last night.
The defense is not looking good right now. The medical examiner testified today, and it was incredibly difficult to sit through. The testimony was so graphic and emotional that Austin’s family was asked to leave the courtroom.
Today was hard.
Tomorrow’s break is very much needed.
Well, the USMNT continues to disappoint. National team supposedly means you represent all if the USA. But, your rainbow numbers tells me you want to represent a small percentage if the US. I hear players saying what an honor it is to play for the US, but why not speak and tell the committee you will not dishonor your supporters by wearing these.

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.
We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: The man at Karmelo Anthony's m*rder trial, saying the, 'only good cr*cker is a de*d cr*cker," and that he'll, "push a cr*cker into the grave,' is Jacob Blake Sr. of Kenosha, Wisconsin.
He has a documented history of anti-white and anti-Semitic statements on social media.
His son Jacob Blake Jr. was shot by police when they were trying to arrest him.
It happened in 2020, when police were called out to a domestic disturbance call at the home of Laquisha Booker, the mother of Jacob Blake Jr.’s children.
Booker told dispatchers that Blake was not allowed on the property, had taken her car keys, and refused to return them.
Officers arrived aware of an active felony arrest warrant for Blake issued in July 2020 on charges of third-degree s*xual assault, trespassing, and disorderly conduct stemming from a prior domestic abuse attack involving the same woman.
Bodycam footage and witness video show officers being attacked by Blake, officers ordering Blake to stop as he fought them, he ignored commands, and moved toward an SUV.
Police repeatedly yelled, “drop the knife.”
Blake Jr. refused, and turned toward an officer with a knife in hand. The police shot him. He survived but was paralyzed from the waist down.
The knife was recovered from the driver’s side floorboard of the vehicle and Blake admitted to possessing it.
No charges were filed against the officer at a state level, and Biden's DOJ also declined to file charges. 🙄
Blake later pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and domestic abuse; the felony s*xual assault charge was dropped as part of the deal.
He received two years of probation.
The shooting triggered multiple nights of violent riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Protesters set fires, looted businesses, and attacked police and civilians.
At least two people were k*lled before the National Guard stepped in.
Jacob Blake Sr. has since shown up at rallies and press conferences talking about systemic racism and police misconduct.
In 2020 interviews he focused on healing and justice for his son while criticizing the lack of charges.
However, Facebook posts attributed to his account show repeated slurs against white people (“cr*ckers,” “pink toes”) and claims about Jewish control of media and finance.
He posted support for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, writing phrases such as “I’m with Farrakhan” and “A jew can’t tell me sh*t period.”
One post stated, “One day pink toes will burn frfr.”
He is the same man causing a commotion and threatening white people outside of the Anthony m*rder trial.

Remove grazing from grassland for 20 years and you get a brush lot. Zero grass. Woody species take over.
Outside the fence at Dixon Water Foundation's Leo Ranch in North Texas? Native little bluestem, switchgrass, side oats — thriving.
They built exclusion pens to prove what happens when cattle leave. The land dies without them.
Prairie ecosystems need grazing to stay prairie. Period.

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
The Obama-appointed federal judge who sent Todd Chrisley to prison was caught having LOUD S*X in her chambers during work hours for 2 YEARS, LIED to investigators about it, and got NOTHING but a "private reprimand."
Read that again.
Her name is Judge Eleanor Ross, her own law clerks told investigators they could hear MOANING, KISSING, and MUSIC through the walls.
She denied it and BLAMED THE CLERK until investigators ran FORENSIC TESTS on a couch in her chambers...
...let's just say they came back SUPER POSITIVE.
At least FIVE encounters from 2023 to 2025.
Her "partner" is an Atlanta Police Deputy Chief named Kelley Collier.
She is married... yep, you guessed it, ANOTHER judge.
The committee found she made herself vulnerable to BLACKMAIL and EXTORTION and lied to the investigators who called her denials "EGREGIOUS FALSITIES."...
...but she gets to keep her robe
Literally ZERO consequences for this, she keeps her lifetime appointment.
This judge SENDS PEOPLE TO PRISON FOR A LIVING
MAKE IT MAKE SENSE!!!
Meet Nicholas Scelfo....
He's the D-bag that threatened the lives of ICE agents
"I'll k*ll your whole f*cking family. Your whole f*cking family is dead. Your children, your wife, all dead."
Those comments violate 18 U.S.C. § 115 so he was ARRESTED and now faces up to 10 years in prison.
Don't y'all just love happy endings?
