"Families must have the right to give their child every chance to fight back and recover. That is precisely why Texas passed its Right to Try law, so that parents facing the most devastating moments of their lives are not also being pushed toward irreversible decisions by institutional timelines that may have nothing to do with their child's prognosis.“

Texas's Right to Try law (codified in Chapter 489 of the Texas Health and Safety Code) allows terminally ill patients to access investigational drugs, biological products, and medical devices that have completed Phase I clinical trials but have not yet received full FDA approval for general use.

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington found its counter to Iran's $24 billion demand: spend the frozen money on the countries Iran keeps hitting

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has ordered officials to tally the damage Gulf partners have suffered from Iranian attacks and price out repair and recovery costs, as the administration weighs using frozen Iranian assets to compensate for past and future damage linked to Tehran.

Think through what that does.

Iran says the entire deal hinges on getting its $24 billion back.

Treasury's answer is to start metering that pot out to Kuwait and Bahrain, so every missile Tehran fires at its neighbors now drains its own recoverable fortune.

The airport terminal, the casualties, the repairs, it all gets billed to Iran's account.

Ray Lambert had already been shot twice and blown up once before he ever set foot on Omaha Beach.

He had survived the invasion of North Africa in 1943. Then Sicily. Each time he had been wounded. Each time he had gone back. By June 6th, 1944, the 23-year-old Staff Sergeant and head medic of the 16th Infantry Regiment's 2nd Battalion was on his third invasion in two years. He had already won a Silver Star for running through German lines in North Africa to drag wounded men out.

He was not supposed to survive a third one.

Lambert landed in the first wave at Omaha Beach. Of the 31 men in his landing craft, only 7 survived the day. The other 24 were killed before they even reached the sand.

He started working immediately.

The first bullet hit his right arm and shattered the bone. He kept going. A second round tore through his right elbow as he was pulling a wounded soldier through the surf. He kept going. Something hit his leg and opened it down to the bone. He put a tourniquet on himself, injected himself with morphine from his own kit, and kept going.

He found a slab of concrete on the beach that offered a few inches of cover. He set up a treatment zone behind it, dragging men out of the water and working on them one by one under constant fire. That piece of concrete is still there today. People who visit Omaha Beach call it Ray's Rock.

Then a loose landing craft ramp swung loose in the surf and slammed into him. It broke his back.

He kept going.

Lambert lost count of how many men he treated. The official record credits him with saving at least 15 lives that morning. Other accounts say closer to two dozen. He worked until his body physically stopped, collapsing unconscious at the edge of the surf, bleeding from multiple wounds, his back broken, still in the water.

A doctor spotted him. A landing craft pulled him out.

Here is the part that does not feel real.

Lambert's brother, Euel, had also been wounded at Normandy that day. The two brothers were loaded onto the same evacuation landing craft. They were placed in the same wheeled ambulance. They were taken to the same tent hospital in England. They were brought into the same operating room at the same time.

Lambert spent almost a full year recovering before he could walk properly again.

He went home. He lived quietly for decades, rarely talking about what happened. In 2019, at the age of 98, he went back to Normandy and stood on the beach again. He published a memoir called Every Man a Hero. It became a New York Times bestseller.

In 2021, Ray Lambert died peacefully at home. He was 100 years old.

He had three invasions, four serious wounds, a broken back, a Silver Star, multiple Bronze Stars, multiple Purple Hearts, and two dozen men who came home because he refused to stop moving on the worst morning in American military history.

Today is June 6th.

Remember him.

The largest children’s hospital in the world - backed by the best legal team money can buy - is fighting tooth and nail against a family’s right to determine the medical care of their child.

If you can, please donate to help the family cover mounting legal and medical expenses.

Annelise must be given every opportunity to recover. Young brains possess extraordinary neuroplasticity: the capacity to rewire, compensate, and restore functions once thought permanently lost, even following prolonged oxygen deprivation. Her family has a right to try every available treatment, even if experimental, and give her a chance to come back.

If only we, as Latter-day Saints, belonged to a church that had “Jesus Christ” in its name and His image in its logo …

Oh wait

Can anyone tell me why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was left out of the list of Christian churches?

Im in tears. WWII D-Day Veteran returns to Omaha beach in Normandy, France with an American Flag

AMEN 🙏

[John Rich🇺🇸 @johnrich]

82 years ago today, over 10,000 Americans were either killed, wounded or missing after the D-Day invasion. They are the shoulders we stand upon. Their sacrifice is why we STAND UP for our Flag. I dedicate this song to them today. Here's "The Man."

Election worker in Torrance County, New Mexico refuses to give a ballot to a citizen because he's wearing a MAGA hat, preventing him from casting a vote.

President Trump isn't even a candidate on the ballot, so why is Karen here throwing a fit and preventing him from voting? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[Lara Logan @laralogan]

Now the parents are being threatened with CPS, acc to a close first-hand source. You cannot despise these people enough. Raise your voice - help save the life of a two-year-old girl. Stand up for the rights of every parent. Do not let them get away with murder. #releaseannelise

Liberal poll workers deny a man a ballot for wearing a MAGA hat! Fun fact: YOU CAN WEAR ANYTHING YOU WANT, AND THEY CANNOT DENY YOU A BALLOT!!! It’s a violation of your civil and constitutional rights!
