Outnumbered at least 6 to 1, the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry suffered 82% casualties when they heroically charged headlong into enemy forces to shore up a gap in Union lines during the Battle of Gettysburg on this date in 1863.

The role these brave Minnesotans played in preserving the United States of America cannot be overstated.

General Winfield Scott Hancock said that "no soldiers on any field, in this or any other country ever displayed grander heroism," and insisted that "there is no more gallant deed recorded in history."

In a speech in Cannon Falls, MN on the Fourth of July 1928, President Calvin Coolidge said these men's heroism that day entitled them to the rank of "saviors of their country."

Think about THAT next time you see a Confederate symbol displayed on Minnesota soil.

The next day, the survivors from the 1st Minnesota helped repel Pickett's Charge and lost another 17 killed and wounded.

Minnesota is in possession of a blood-stained, bullet-pierced Virginia battle flag captured July 3rd.

Virginia has been asking for it back for over 100 years.

Governor Jesse Ventura's response at the @WhiteHouse in 2000: “Why? I mean, we won. … We took it. That makes it our heritage.”

Why do dragons guard gold?

It's not random — it's an ancient economic metaphor.

In warrior societies, wealth needed to flow freely — binding kings to warriors.

Dragons are a symbol of the system breaking down.

Here is the hidden symbolism of the dragon's hoard... 🧵

I don’t claim to be the best hitting coach.

But over 15 years I’ve worked with thousands of kids and have experimented enough to figure out what works.

Ive found this is the #1 most effective way to teach most youth hitters.

This is what works for me. Your mileage may vary.

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

When we Americans talk about Canada it would be only right and correct to note that we have fought and died with them in a couple of World Wars and their valor is every bit as legendary as our own. Good luck finding a better friend.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

I ask you to be vigilant against the temptation to cultivate a warlike spirit. Be vigilant lest you be poisoned by propaganda that instils hatred, divides the world into friends to be defended and foes to be fought.
