@Smith_WessonInc when I was in Highschool my friend's dad had a cabin in the UP of MI. Very remote. I always took my shotgun and 38, and the guys would be like, why you always bring guns.
I am going to cry like a baby when I retire. I’m walking down a street two blocks from Skid Row and a woman who I haven’t seen in years sees me and smiled wide as she approached. I didn’t recognize her at first. She looked really great. She paused in front of me and teared up unable to speak for a second. She gathered herself and said “I’m sorry for crying. But that only happens when certain people have impacted my life. You were always so kind to me when I was in Skid Row.” She made my day. I gave her the biggest hug. Thank you Yahweh for the reminders that my walk was not in vain.
In 2007, US Navy SEAL Mike Day incredibly survived being shot 27 times by al-Qaeda militants in various parts of his body and was also hit by a grenade.
Despite these severe injuries, he was able to defeat all four attackers and walked away without help after waking up.
After serving in the Navy for 21 years, Day retired in 2010. He dedicated his post-service life to supporting veterans through his work with Wounded Warriors. Mike Day passed away in March 2023.

It was April 6, 2008 in Shock Valley, Afghanistan. Matthew Williams was 33 years old on a mountain when everything went wrong.
His Special Forces team and their Afghan partners walked into an ambush that would become one of the most intense battles of the war.
Enemy fighters held the high ground. Fire rained down from three sides. Within minutes, half the team was wounded. There was no cover, no easy way out.
As a weapons sergeant, his job was to lay down suppressive fire. But when teammates fell, his job became something else entirely. He moved through open ground again and again dragging wounded soldiers to cover while bullets tore through the air around him.
He was hit. Then hit again.
Each time, he got back up. Not because he was invincible, but because men were bleeding out and someone had to reach them. He fired his weapon with one arm while pulling casualties with the other. When his rifle was shot out of his hands, he picked up another and kept fighting.
Williams absorbed 11 gunshot wounds that day. He survived during the battle, which lasted six hours. The physical wounds eventually healed, though some in memory never fully closed.
In October 2019, President Trump placed the Medal of Honor around his neck. By then, Williams had already spent more than a decade living with what he gave. The recognition didn't erase the cost. It just finally acknowledged it.

Today we honor Tyrone “Rone” Woods
Not just his birthday but the standard he lived by.
Rone showed up when it mattered. He stood his post. He did his job without excuses and without asking for credit. He carried weight most people never see and he carried it quietly.
That is the kind of man this country was built on. Faith in something bigger than himself. Loyalty to his brothers. Willingness to run toward danger so others could live.
If you are breathing today you owe it to men like Rone to live with purpose. To stand when it is hard. To tell the truth when it costs you. To protect what matters even when no one is watching.
Happy birthday WARRIOR! You are not forgotten. Your example still leads.
You are never gone while your name is still spoken…
When the ACLU asked a court to stop West Virginia from protecting women’s sports, it argued that “no one will be harmed” if a boy competes with girls.
The ACLU got its way. But it couldn’t have been more wrong.
Let’s talk about the girls who were—and are—being harmed. 🧵
Americans are reaching a breaking point.
Fraud fatigue is now a very real thing.
People are not only questioning the system, but are completely done with the system and considering not even paying taxes.
Why should we? It only gets sent to Somali Pirates, and fraudsters and wasted by the people who are selected to represent us.
Is this the turning point?
Nick Shirleys exposé is now sitting at 82 million. Mainstream media will be forced to cover the widespread fraud in Minnesota. Tim Walz must resign.
Let's get it to 100 million. Keep sharing it out.
23-year-old YouTuber in a hoodie just did more in a day to expose massive Somali-Democrat fraud than the Minnesota media, CNN, NY Times, DOJ, FBI, DHS and the entire cast of 60 Minutes combined.
This is real journalism. Amazing work. 👇
Our platoon. 20 years ago, today. Baghdad, Iraq. Pre-air assault raid.
These men. Our mission. The brotherhood. It’s always top of mind. Every day.
At @DeptofWar we serve warriors like these — and will do right by them, especially when it’s hard.
Vietnamese dude nails it: "There's only about 2 million of us here in the US... we never ask anyone to bow down or speak our language."https://t.co/izh4A4EtL3
"Why the F does this mayor in Somalian Minnesota have to speak their language, and apologize for those crooked-a** pirates?! Since when do we have to do that?"

This should infuriate every American
Illinois State Senator Dave Syverson exposes the healthcare being given to illegals in Illinois is “BETTER than citizens on Medicaid”
Illegals are also getting free housing, daycare, food and cash payments
“This is 100% paid for by state taxpayers. The program of health care that they get is actually better than those of our own residents that are on Medicaid.
So our low income struggling families in Illinois that are on Medicaid, they do not get as good of services as these non-citizens are getting that are coming into Illinois”
“In addition to the over $1 billion cost of health care, we're also providing free daycare for their children, including free housing, food subsidies, cash subsidies. So the total cost of this program is in the billions of dollars”
When I was in my 20's I always voted Democrat. My parents were Democrats and being black in New York that's what you're supposed to do, right?
About 20 years ago I started listening to this guy on the radio who challenged me in every way. I was never the same after that.
