@NYRLouie I’d usually agree but for being an excellent defender he doesn’t really play that ultra physical game! I don’t think he was anywhere close to 100 hits last year! Did have good amount of blocks though!

@SNY_Mets @SNYtv Nice guy but I disagree! He had the best team in baseball last season until mid June and we are experiencing a total organizational/fanbase collapse! Something happened in that clubhouse on last yrs pride night that has completely destroyed this franchise! He let it happen!

240 years ago today, the most underrated general in American history died. From a sunburn.

Nathanael Greene was never supposed to be a soldier. He was a Quaker from Rhode Island who ran his family's iron forge. He had asthma, a stiff leg that gave him a permanent limp, and zero combat experience. His own church suspended him just for going to watch a military parade.

So how did he end up commanding the entire Southern army? He read. He bought every book on warfare he could find and taught himself strategy from scratch. Washington noticed, and trusted him more than almost anyone.

By 1780 the war in the South was a disaster. The previous American general got beaten so badly he fled 200 miles on horseback. Congress let Washington pick the replacement, and he picked Greene without hesitation.

Greene's plan was insane. He looked at his small, starving, half-naked army and decided he could not win, so he would lose correctly. He ran Cornwallis all over the Carolinas until the British were exhausted, far from supply, and bleeding men they could not replace. "We fight, get beat, rise, and fight again."

At Guilford Courthouse, Cornwallis technically won the battle and lost a quarter of his army doing it. That was the whole point. Greene lost almost every fight on paper and won the entire South. Cornwallis limped off to a little tobacco port to rest and refit. The port was called Yorktown.

Here's the part that should make you angry. To feed and clothe his men, Greene personally co-signed for war supplies because the government wouldn't pay. When the bills came due, Congress refused to honor them. The man who saved the South came home buried in debt that wasn't his.

Georgia gave him a plantation near Savannah as thanks. He finally had peace. Then one hot afternoon in June 1786 he spent the day walking a neighbor's rice fields with no hat. He collapsed from sunstroke and a week later he was dead at 43.

One last twist. After he died, his widow Catharine took in a broke young houseguest tinkering with an idea. His name was Eli Whitney, and the cotton gin was invented at the dead general's home.

June 19, 1786. Remember the name. Nathanael Greene.

@RobertKennedyJr I worked on the John F. Kennedy Staten Island Ferry boat from 2015 until its decommission in 2021! It’s sitting derelict at an old dock in Staten Island! It’s should be registered as an historic place and made into a museum in the NY Seaport museum!

Dr. Joseph Warren died on this day in 1775, and he might be the most important Founding Father you were never taught about.

He was born in Roxbury, went to Harvard, and by his early thirties he was the most sought after doctor in Boston. He inoculated the Adams family against smallpox. He took on apprentices. He treated patients on both sides of the growing fight, redcoats included, because he was a doctor first. He was 34 and a widower raising four small children alone after his wife died in 1773.

He was also the quiet engine of the entire revolution in Massachusetts. He wrote the Suffolk Resolves. He ran the Committee of Safety. He stood up twice to give the Boston Massacre orations, and the second time, with British officers packing the room to intimidate him, the story goes that he climbed in through a window rather than be turned away, then delivered the speech to their faces.

On the night of April 18, 1775, it was Warren who learned the British army was about to march. He sent Paul Revere out one way and William Dawes the other to raise the alarm toward Lexington and Concord. There is no midnight ride without Joseph Warren. People have argued for two centuries about where he got his intelligence, and one long running rumor is that his secret source was close to General Gage himself.

The next morning he didn't sit safe behind a desk. He rode out to the fighting at Lexington and Concord and got into the thick of it. A British musket ball came so close it knocked a pin out of the hair beside his ear.

Three days before Bunker Hill, the Provincial Congress made him a major general. When he walked onto the hill on June 17, the officers there offered to hand him command of the whole field. He refused. He said he had come to fight as a volunteer, not to give orders, and he took a musket and went into the redoubt with the ordinary men, in the most dangerous spot on the line.

The Americans held off two British charges. On the third, low on powder, they were overrun. Warren stayed to cover the retreat and was shot in the head. The British knew exactly who they had killed. They stripped him, ran him through with bayonets, and threw him into a shallow pit with another body. A British officer later bragged that he had stuffed the scoundrel into the ground. General Gage is said to have remarked that Warren's death was worth that of 500 ordinary men.

Ten months later, after the British finally gave up Boston and sailed away, his friends went looking for him. The body was beyond recognition. The only reason they ever found him is that Paul Revere, a silversmith by trade, had once wired a false tooth into Warren's jaw with silver wire. Revere dug through the grave, saw his own work in the teeth, and knew. It is remembered as one of the first forensic dental identifications in American history.

His orphaned children were nearly forgotten too, until people like Benedict Arnold, years before he became a traitor, chipped in money to make sure they were raised and educated.

The most famous painting of the battle, by John Trumbull, isn't really about the battle at all. It's about the death of one man in the smoke.

The doctor who could have commanded an army chose to die in the dirt as a private soldier. He was 34 years old. 251 years ago today. Remember him 🇺🇸

Two elderly horses, Leo and Lou, were worked to the point of exhaustion and abandoned by their former owner when they could no longer work. Thin, frail, and close to death from starvation and illness, they were rescued by a dedicated rescue team.

Thanks to loving care and an incredible recovery journey—especially with the help of an underwater treadmill—Leo gained more than 136 kilograms (300 pounds) in just three months. Today, the two best friends are enjoying a happy retirement together, living side by side on a lush green farm, running freely, and finally receiving the love and kindness they have always deserved.🐴❤️🐴

@crusade_enjoyer I never met my grandfather but my father told me he was in first wave at Omaha beach! His landing craft was blown out of the water by a mine 1/2 mile from the beach! He was picked up later only one other from his craft survived the blast! He took a machine gun to leg in St Lowe

Is this a possible cure for Alpha-Gal Syndrome (tick-induced red meat allergy)?

450,000+ Americans are estimated to be living with Alpha-gal syndrome - a tick-induced allergy that can make eating red meat trigger severe reactions.

The standard advice is never to eat red meat again...

But there are multiple studies suggesting a type of ear acupuncture may help!

One study of 126 Alpha-gal patients using a treatment called SAAT (Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment) reported a 96% improvement in symptoms (PMID 35003502). And there are others showing similar results.

Is this the antidote to Bill Gates’ master plan? 😅

[Nicolas Hulscher, MPH @NicHulscher]

96% of patients declared COMPLETE REMISSION of alpha-gal syndrome after ear acupuncture — lasting months to years.

Basically EVERYONE in the study could eat meat again within weeks of undergoing Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT).

There were ZERO adverse reactions.

Cloves are often brushed off as just a spice, but they are actually one of nature’s most powerful tools for supporting the body. What many people do not understand is that cloves have anti-parasitic properties that can affect parasites at multiple stages of life, including
