Congratulations Major Capers, you earned every bit of that Medal of Honor.

It was an honor hosting you sir, and you’re welcome back to San Antonio to hang with the boys any time 🫡

[Girl patriot 🙏 🇺🇸 🦅 @Girlpatriot1974]

Privilege isn't a privilege.

Dallas James Wicker nailed it: They scream "privilege" means being White. Wrong.
Real privilege is living in government housing, wearing $200 sneakers on food stamps, and crying oppression while taxpayers pay your bills. It's failing over and over with no consequences, protesting all day because you have no job.
This isn't about race. It's about accountability. The people grinding, working, and paying taxes aren't the privileged. The ones who never carry the load are.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Major Capers just went maximum selfless patriot mode after President Trump gave him the Medal of Honor

"I can't say I'm happy to be here because this award belongs to a lot of young men who followed me and died in battlefields around this world for a country that we honor this flag."

"There's no real satisfaction in getting a medal when I've lost so much."

"We're one unit. When one falls, somebody else has to replace that one, that person who fell."

"I feel honored to have the support that I find today. I'm honored. And I give gratitude to the ones who made this happen."

"When your men are in peril and you have an opportunity to save your men, I chose to get off the helicopter to lighten the load."

Living legend.

Asmongold spent almost 8 hours on stream yesterday going over Rupert Lowe’s R-gang Inquiry Report

"Promises made promises kept, I said I was going to read the entire thing..EZ..I hope u learned something"

"This is also happening in America, in Canada, all across all western countries and the reason is the same every single time, it is ppl that are afraid to call this out bc they don't want to be called racist and bc they want to maintain the voting bloc of these ppl"

"I think that the British ppl have one or two more chances of having this be solved without violence"

Flash Shelton, also known as “Squatter Hunter" fights squatters by moving in with them and making the situation so uncomfortable that they leave, helping homeowners retake control.

Flash Shelton was grieving his father and trying to sell his mother's vacant California home when he got the call. Strangers had moved in.

Police told him it was a civil matter and there was nothing they could do. So he figured out how to become their squatter.

Shelton signed a lease from his mother to establish legal tenancy, drove 19 hours, camped outside waiting for the squatters to leave, then went in, secured the back door, installed cameras, and waited for them to return.

When they came back they found him already inside, legally. That method became the foundation of his entire business.

Once hired, his team secures a short-term lease from the homeowner, moves in alongside the squatters, and makes daily life uncomfortable, taking over common areas, playing loud music, and maintaining constant presence, until the intruders choose to leave voluntarily.

"What I used to save my mom's house, I am now using to help homeowners across the country," he said. "I've built a whole team ready to out-squat the squatters."

The legal genius of it is simple, squatters exploit the same tenant protection laws that protect genuine renters. Shelton just decided to use those same laws against them.

Democrats claim requiring proof of citizenship to vote is racist and discriminatory.

I’ve been Black my entire life, and that’s one of the most insulting arguments I’ve ever heard.

✅ Black Americans can get IDs.
✅ Hispanic Americans can get IDs.
✅ Asian Americans can get IDs.
✅ Women can get IDs.

EVERY American can get an ID.

The REAL insult is assuming they can’t.

ONLY citizens should vote.

PASS the SAVE America Act.

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Christopher Hitchens: ”In 1786, when the United States was barely a country, it was having its sailors taken as slaves by the Barbary states, the states of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. Tripoli, shores of Tripoli. Ships stopped, its crews carried off into slavery. We estimate 1.5 million European and American slaves taken between 1750 and 1815.

Jefferson and Adams went to their ambassador in London and said, why do you do this to us? The United States has never had a quarrel with the Muslim world of any kind. We weren't in the crusades. We weren't at war with Spain. Why do you do this to our people and our ships? Why do you plunder and enslave our people? The ambassador said very plainly, Mr. Abdul Rahman said, because the Quran gives us permission to do so, because you are infidels, and that's our answer. Jefferson said, well, in that case, I will send a navy which will crush your state, which he did.

Islamic fundamentalism is not created by American democracy. It's a lie to say so. It's a masochistic lie, and it excuses those who are the real criminals, and blames us for the attacks made upon us.”

She Was 37. Broke. Dying. And She Made 30 Million People Laugh Every Week. Erma Bombeck didn’t have an office. She had a typewriter on a wood plank in her bedroom. She didn’t have time. She had three kids and a disease that was killing her.

Ohio. 1965.
Erma was 37, a mom in Centerville, Ohio. Laundry never ended. Kids destroyed the house daily. Dishes reappeared like magic. Everyone said motherhood was “sacred.” “The highest calling.”

Erma thought it was also messy. Loud. And funny as heck.

So she walked into a tiny local paper and asked to write the truth. Not the perfect mom version. The real one. They said, “We’ll pay you three dollars per column.”

She said yes.

She went home, put a typewriter on a plank between two cinder blocks, and got to work. No desk. No fancy setup. Just her and the chaos.

She wrote about the septic tank exploding during dinner. About trying to get three kids to school without losing her mind. About “the beautiful absurdity of a life spent making other people's lunches”.

Three weeks after a bigger paper found her, she went national. Soon, “At Wit's End” ran in 900 newspapers. “Thirty million readers. Twice a week. Every week.”

Erma became the most-read humor writer in America.

Why? Because she said what no one else would. “She told the truth about motherhood when polite society insisted it must remain perfect.” She joked about selling her kids. Told moms to “lock the bathroom door and hide from their families for five minutes of peace.”

Thirty million women read it and thought: “Oh my God. Someone finally said it.”

Phil Donahue was her neighbor. He said, “Motherhood was sacred. Mothers were put on pedestals. Then Erma wrote, 'I'm going to sell my kids.' She punctured that pretense and was suddenly speaking for millions.”

But here’s the part nobody knew: Erma was dying the whole time.

At 20, doctors told her she had polycystic kidney disease. Incurable. They said she’d never have kids. She adopted a daughter. Then somehow had two sons.

For decades, she did dialysis and came home to write. “She made America laugh while quietly fighting to stay alive.” She never complained. Never asked for pity. “She just kept writing.”

She grew up poor in Dayton. Dad died when she was nine. At 13, she wrote for her school paper. At 15, she got a job at the Dayton Herald. A professor told her: “You can write.” So she did. For 31 years. Over 4,000 columns. 15 books. Nine bestsellers. 15 million copies sold. Eleven years on Good Morning America.

She wrote survival guides disguised as jokes. Titles like The Grass is Always Greener Over the Septic Tank. If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing in the Pits?

She beat breast cancer in 1992. Finally told the world about her kidney disease in 1993. Got a transplant on April 3, 1996. Wrote her last column 14 days later. Died five days after that. April 22, 1996. She was 69.

She’s buried in Dayton under a 29,000-pound boulder from Arizona. Big as the laughs she gave us.

Think about it. She started at 37 — when the world says women are done. For three dollars a week. On a plank. While on dialysis. While dying. “And she never stopped being funny.”

Because “humor isn't the opposite of pain. It's how you survive it.”

She once wrote, “Success is outliving your failures.” She did.

Not because she got famous. But because 30 million people picked up a paper and felt less alone. She told them: Motherhood is hard. You’re tired. You’re not failing. You’re human.

“Before Erma, mothers were supposed to be saints. After Erma, they were allowed to be people.”

She was 37 when she started. Dying the whole time. Wrote till five days before she died.

Erma Bombeck (1927-1996). A housewife. A typewriter. Three dollars. Thirty million readers. And the belief that ordinary lives are worth writing about.
“Not despite their ordinariness. Because of it.”......................

A video from Iran shows exactly what Islam’s Sharia Law produces. A Muslim man ties one of his wives' hands behind her back. She is forced to sit on the sand and quietly weeps in the scorching sun as punishment for not pleasing her owner. After she keeps yelling, he places her in a shed and threatens to lock the cage over her failure to obey him perfectly. She is not his equal. She is his possession.

This is not an exception. It is the rule under Islamic law for women and girls over the age of six. They have no autonomy over their own bodies. They cannot show their hair in public. They cannot sing or dance freely. They cannot choose their own husbands. Instead, they are often sold into marriage as young as nine years old to men old enough to be their fathers—sometimes men who already have one, two, or three other wives.

Under Sharia, a man may marry up to four women at once. He may beat them. He may kill them in the name of “family honor” and face little consequence. Girls are raised knowing their worth is measured only by obedience and silence. Their tears, dreams, and humanity are crushed before they ever have a chance to exist.

The Iranian regime that produces these videos is the same regime that funds Hamas, Hezbollah, and Islamic Jihad. The mullahs who treat women as livestock are the same men who send rockets at Israeli children and chant for the death of every Jew. The evil is not separate. It is one ideology of domination—over women, over Jews, over the entire free world.

While Israel stands as the only place in the Middle East where women serve as fighter pilots, Supreme Court justices, and prime ministers, the Iranian regime turns half its population into slaves. Israel protects its daughters. Iran chains its daughters and calls it religion. The contrast is not cultural. It is moral.

The radical left in the West stays silent or even defends this barbarism as “diversity.” They march against Israel while ignoring the women being beaten, sold, and murdered across the Islamic world. They have chosen the side of the oppressors. They have lost their souls.

In April 1945, a young British soldier walked across a field in Bavaria and handed a starving young woman a small parcel of food.
She was 21 years old. Her name was Lily Ebert. She had survived Auschwitz. Her mother and two younger sisters had been murdered in the gas chambers within hours of their arrival. She had endured a forced death march in the final weeks of the war and had collapsed in a field, close to death, when liberation came.
The soldier said nothing. But wrapped around the food was a German bank note — and written on it, in pencil, in English, were eleven words:
"A start to a new life. Good luck and happiness."
He walked away. She never saw him again. She never knew his name.
She kept the note.
Through refugee processing in Switzerland. On a boat to what would become the State of Israel. Across the ocean to England in the 1950s, where she settled, married, and built a life from almost nothing.
She raised three children in London. She had ten grandchildren. She had thirty-eight great-grandchildren.
Through all of it, the note stayed in a drawer in her bedroom. She showed it to her family every so often. She told them the story. For 75 years, no one had ever been able to identify the soldier or trace his handwriting.
Then came lockdown. And a 16-year-old great-grandson named Dov Forman.
In 2020, while the world went quiet, Dov began posting Lily's story on TikTok — short videos, filmed at the kitchen table, his great-grandmother speaking directly to the camera about Auschwitz, about survival, about what she had seen and lost and somehow outlived. Within months, she had two million followers. She wrote a memoir. She received the British Empire Medal. She became one of the most recognised Holocaust survivors in the world.
And in one video, Dov held up the old German bank note. He showed the handwriting to the camera. He asked — to no one in particular, to everyone at once — if anyone recognised it.
A British family watched the video. They recognised the handwriting immediately.
Their grandfather had been a young Jewish soldier serving with British forces in Germany in 1945. He had written those eleven words on a bank note before he left home, carrying it in his pocket as a small private act of hope — a message ready for whoever needed it most. He had given it to a young woman he encountered in a field in Bavaria and thought nothing more of it.
He had come home, raised a family, grown old, and died. He had never told his children the name of the young woman he had given the note to. He may never have known she survived.
His family contacted Dov. In 2021, on a video call, Lily Ebert — then 97 years old — met the grandchildren of the man who had once handed her the will to live.
They showed her photographs of him as a young soldier. They told her stories about who he had become. They cried together across the screen.
Lily said: "For 75 years, I held this note in my hand. I never knew who he was. Now I know. He was a kind young man. He thought of me before he ever met me. He wanted me to live. I have lived. I lived for him."
The two families became close in the final years of Lily's life.
Lily Ebert died in October 2024, at the age of 100.
The bank note is now on loan to the Imperial War Museum in London — considered one of the most significant small Holocaust artefacts in private hands.
A soldier wrote eleven words on a piece of paper, handed it to a stranger, and walked away.
A teenage boy with a phone refused to let his great-grandmother's story disappear.
And after 75 years, a single act of quiet human kindness finally found its way home.

Eden Nimri (22) bravely fought Hamas on October 7th on her own, still in her pajamas, as she stood at the entrance of a bomb shelter to protect those inside. She shielded 17 girls.

All 17 of those girls were spared, Ynet reports.

When Eden's ammo ran out, she literally fought the terrorists with her bare hands, survivors recalled.

She gave her life to defend Israel and her friends. Eden was only 22. Her bravery will never be forgotten. May her memory be a blessing 🎗️

A 9-year-old was rescued by a Border Patrol Search, Trauma, and Rescue (BORSTAR) team after becoming separated from the group she was traveling with.

When agents encountered her, she was hypothermic and in distress. Agents immediately provided medical care, and she is now in stable condition.

HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES FLEW FIRST CLASS TO WAR ZONES FOR PHOTO OPS. TOBY KEITH FLEW IN BLACKHAWKS TO PLACES NO CAMERA WOULD EVER SEE… After 9/11, hundreds of celebrities posted flags on Instagram. Wore ribbons on red carpets. Said "thank you for your service" on talk shows.

Then went home. Toby Keith got on a helicopter and flew into Afghanistan. Not once. Not twice. Eighteen times.

For over a decade — two unpaid weeks every single year — he flew into active war zones. Iraq. Afghanistan. Kuwait. Remote outposts six miles from the Pakistani border where soldiers hadn't seen a civilian face in six months.

Critics back home still called him a warmonger. Award shows still passed him over. But here's what the critics never saw… Toby didn't play the big bases. He insisted on going where nobody else would — tiny forward operating bases named after fallen soldiers.

He rode in Blackhawks escorted by Apache gunships. He came under fire. His family back home "freaked out" every time he left. He didn't care. He created the USO2GO program — sending electronics and comfort items to soldiers at outposts too remote for any entertainer to ever visit.

Over 250,000 troops. Seventeen countries. He closed every single show with "American Soldier" — and every single time, the crowd went silent, because every man and woman standing there knew: this wasn't a performance. This was a promise.

He once said: "I saw a void the great Bob Hope left behind, and no one was filling it." So he filled it. For eighteen years. While quietly fighting stomach cancer, he kept going — not for fame, not for cameras — but because he made a promise to kids in uniform who just wanted to hear a guitar and feel like home was still there.

They gave him awards he never asked for. But the soldiers who stood in the dust and heard him play — they gave him something no trophy ever could. What happened at those remote bases is a story most Americans have never heard.

🇺🇸 Shannon Smith enlisted in the US Navy, at 18 years old.

By 2007, she was running missions in Iraq with Special Operations teams. In 2013, she trained with elite forces where she met Joe Kent, whom she married in 2014 and welcomed two sons, never slowing down in the military's toughest roles.

Cancer struck her in 2016. She beat thyroid cancer, recovered, and returned to duty. Smith dreamt of becoming a psychologist to help veterans with PTSD, she hit a wall: Navy rules barred her advancement because of her cancer. Shannon fought back, took her case to Congress, and won-changing policy and opening doors for countless others. In 2018, she deployed to Syria with the same unbreakable spirit.

On January 16, 2019, at age 33, a suicide bombing in Manbij took her life. Posthumously promoted to Senior Chief and awarded the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Defense Meritorious Service Medal. Rest easy Hero 🕊️

Having been called a liar by Anthony Fauci for saying that "not one of the 72 vaccines mandated for children has ever been safety tested", RFK Jr. sued Fauci.

After a year of stonewalling, Fauci's lawyers admitted that RFK Jr. had been right all along.

"There's no downstream liability, there's no front-end safety testing... and there's no marketing and advertising costs, because the federal government is ordering 78 million school kids to take that vaccine every year."

"What better product could you have? And so there was a gold rush to add all these new vaccines to the schedule... because if you get onto that schedule, it's a billion dollars a year for your company."

"So we got all of these new vaccines, 72 shots, 16 vaccines... And that year, 1989, we saw an explosion in chronic disease in American children... ADHD, sleep disorders, language delays, ASD, autism, Tourette's syndrome, ticks, narcolepsy."

"Autism went from one in 10,000 in my generation... to one in every 34 kids today."
