Next month marks 34 years since 'A Few Good Men' released, so we HAD to bring back this UNBELIEVABLE story Kevin Pollak told us in 2023 about Jack Nicholson from the set 🤣

"You, Lt. Weinberg?!" 😆 A surreal Jack Nicholson story from Kevin Pollack, the man with the funniest spot on impressions! via @RichEisenShow

If Ryan's brains were any better than his back, he'd have known that his vote would be a total waste of time and that there was never any chance, let alone any real basis for removing Hegseth.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

Actually, I had back surgery yesterday and checked myself out of the hospital this morning to make sure I voted to IMPEACH Hegseth.

He’s the most incompetent & immoral SecDef in history and he needs to go!

@xwanyex If Medicare and Social Security were means tested, most people would hate it 10X more than they do now.

@jarvis_best There was a Ford Mustang Dark Horse in the Walgreen's crippled spot yesterday and it wasn't just the expense--who buys a low slung car when they have a hard time getting around?

@JMUSPatriot @itrue98 We also aren't making Eid a holiday. If any religion, other than Christian, gets a holiday, Jews are top of the list, being 2nd behind Christians in population--though trailing by around 30:1.

🇺🇸Dear Lord forgive this idiots they don’t know what they voted for, nor do they know what they did.🇺🇸

@wil_da_beast630 Being in a different caste isn't racial or even ethnic. Low and high cast Bengalis are both Bengali. Same race, same ethnic group--different classes.

In 1944, thousands of Japanese on Saipan hid in caves, sure the Americans would torture them if they came out. Many families chose the cliffs instead.

An 18-year-old American Marine from East Los Angeles walked up to those caves at night, alone, and called to them in Japanese.

His name was Guy Gabaldon. He was a Mexican American kid who had grown up partly in the home of a Japanese American family, the Nakanos. That is where he picked up his Japanese. When the war came, the Nakanos were sent to internment camps. Their twin sons, Lane and Lyle, joined the U.S. Army anyway and served in the 442nd.

Fifty years later, he still said it plainly: "These were Americans."

On Saipan, Gabaldon was a scout with the 2nd Marine Regiment. Right after landing, he slipped off on his own and came back with prisoners. His commanding officer, Capt. John Schwabe, threatened him with a court-martial for leaving his post.

The next night, he came back with about fifty.

After that, they let him go out alone.

He crawled to the cave mouths in the dark and promised the people inside water, medical care, and that nobody would hurt them. Night after night, ten or twenty at a time, they followed him out.

On July 8, by his own account, about 800 came out in a single day. Schwabe remembered that day too. It was the day they tagged him the Pied Piper of Saipan.

Not everyone listened. At the cliffs, he begged a mother not to kill her child. He watched her throw the baby and jump. He was still talking about it fifty years later.

His Navy Cross citation says that on Saipan and Tinian he brought in "well over one thousand enemy civilians and troops."

Schwabe recommended him for the Medal of Honor. He received the Silver Star. Sixteen years later, after Hollywood made a movie about him, the Navy upgraded it to the Navy Cross.

He died in 2006 and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I am Japanese. Those caves were full of my people, frightened, starving, and certain that the Americans were monsters.

An American teenager walked toward them in the dark and offered them water.

On this Veterans Day, Japan should know his name.

@AbdulElSayed Sure, blow-up the filibuster and watch the bill get vetoed. Smart!

@wrdcsc @Apelham8 We don't: We order illegal vessels to heave to. If they refuse we can make disabling fire. If they attack, they can be sunk.

@CharlesFLehman Murder isn't legal, so a murder-for-hire business would also be illegal.

[David Pecchia @dpecchia]

@CharlesFLehman As long as people are allowed to have vices, it follows that businesses should be allowed to provide those legal vices.

@robert_lyman United States (by a wide margin), followed by the Soviet Union, then China, then the British Commonwealth (and other Allies as more distant factors).

@brianstelter Trump should end the war, by continuing the blockade until Iran capitulates.

@chadfelixg If you count descendants of refugees, the number might be a majority of the Jewish population of Israel.

@FallenSphereLL @kid_kazuma To the extent that it's collectivist, rather than individualist, it's left not right wing.

[David Pecchia @dpecchia]

@kid_kazuma Fascism exists, in the sense that concepts can exist. It's basically socialism, except the state doesn't formally own the means of production, it just has almost total control over corporations, to the point that it might as well own them.

Indians are Caucasian, like most Americans, so race is a non-sequitur. If we plan to add another religious holiday, beyond the only one, Christmas. Other religions are next in line:

[Shagisabadword @shagisabadword]

Racists are losing their minds over the concept of another paid holiday.

[David Pecchia @dpecchia]

@vayunandini @remarks There are more than twice as many, as a percentage of the total population, Christians in India as Hindus in the US. Also, Black Friday isn't religious, or a holiday, in the US.

@BXGD At least 2 more years, maybe 6.
