Truth. I think of this often to remind myself that I don't have single thing worth complaining about in life.

The men on those landing boats at Normandy would all gladly trade for my worst day.

I can't even imagine being as scared as those kids were.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

On June 6, 1944, a 56-year-old general with a secret walked onto Utah Beach under fire, armed with a cane and a pistol.

The secret: his heart was failing. He had hidden it from the army doctors so they wouldn't pull him from the mission.

His name was Theodore Roosevelt Jr. Son of the President. He had begged three separate times to lead the first wave ashore at Normandy before his commanders finally said yes.

When his landing craft drifted 2,000 yards off course, every instinct said redirect the following waves to the correct zone. Instead, Roosevelt walked the beach himself, alone, under artillery fire, cane in hand, reading the terrain.

His verdict: "We'll start the war from right here."

He then stood on that beach and personally greeted every regiment that landed after him, pointing them inland, cracking jokes under shellfire, steadying 18-year-olds who had never seen combat. He did this for hours.

Years later, Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic act he had ever witnessed in combat.

His answer, without hesitation: "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."

Roosevelt's son, Captain Quentin Roosevelt II, also landed at Normandy that same morning. He was named after his uncle, Quentin Roosevelt, who had been shot down as a fighter pilot over France in World War I.

Three generations. Three wars. One family.

Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep 36 days later. Heart attack. The thing he had been hiding finally won. He never learned he had been awarded the Medal of Honor.

He was buried at the Normandy American Cemetery.

In 1955, his family had his brother Quentin, killed in WWI, exhumed from where he fell in France and reinterred right beside him. Quentin is the only World War I soldier buried there.

Two brothers. Two world wars. The same French soil.

Their father had once said: "Do what you can, with what you have, where you are."

Both of his sons did exactly that.

[Secretary of War Pete Hegseth @SecWar]

Eighty-two years ago today, freedom stood on the edge of extinction, and Allied forces stormed into hell to help save the world.

We will never forget the courage, the sacrifice, and the blood spilled on that fateful day.

[The Iceman @the_iceman64]

90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

There’s some quirk in physics where, if there’s a small hole in a bag of mulch it will leak all over your vehicle.
But if you rip a giant hole in the bag and try to dump it out into your landscaping, almost none will fall out.

[Nick @Tenn_MAGA2]

Just In! 🙏🏼Texas Pastor Josh Howerton rips the mask off Texas Democrat James Talarico, calling him out for exactly what he is: a false prophet leading people into hell — even though he’s in politics.
1. He misquotes Thomas (a disciple of Jesus) to make his words align with the LGBT agenda.
2. Claims “trans communities need abortions too” — whatever that means.
3. Believes there are 6 genders.
4. Openly stated in the Texas House that he believes God is non-binary.
If this doesn’t hit a nerve I don’t know what will.

[Jason Howerton @jason_howerton]

Since I’m going to be hearing this for the next 6 months as a Texas voter, let me answer the question:

“You would vote for an adulterer over James Talarico? That’s not very Christian.”

Here’s the truth: I would rather vote for almost anyone else who is going to at least advocate for conservative *policies* over a literal heretic who wears my faith like a skin suit, advocates for policies that harm children, endorses immorality and generally harm society.

Ken Paxton has personal baggage. I don’t deny that. But Talarico has plenty too — and he openly mocks God’s law and treats Jesus as a political mascot all while pushing a radical far-left agenda that would be a disaster for my state.

You see, I’m an adult. I do not expect those who are seeking political office to be my moral superiors or even trustworthy. They are tools to be used to do the least amount of damage via policy.

I wish more pastors and men who live godly lives were running. I really do. But the options we get are what they are.

Paxton supports secure borders, law enforcement, lower taxes, unleashing American energy, the Second Amendment, just to name a few.

Talarico supports unlimited abortion, trans-ing children, higher taxes, government-run “healthcare,” and is incredibly comfortable blaspheming the word of God.

I’m not voting for a priest. I’m voting for an imperfect person to represent my interests. That’s how it works.

You’re not going to guilt trip Texans into supporting a looney tunes candidate like Talarico. Paxton will win by 5+.

It’s about policy, not personality.

[Attorney General Ken Paxton @KenPaxtonTX]

NEW AD: James Talarico is a threat to everything we hold dear.

This is Texas, and we will fight to protect it.

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 NOW: A DEVASTATING new ad has just been blasted out by Texas Senate candidate Ken Paxton against James Talarico (D)

🔥🔥

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“There are many more than two biological sexes. In fact, there are six.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“The American flag is such a complicated symbol for most of us.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“They're going to call me a radical leftist.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“Something that you love. It's not family or friends. I love and just say this because it's on my mind. The trans children.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“Our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

“It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption. I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign.”

“This is Texas. This is not.”

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.

Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.

[Franklin Graham @Franklin_Graham]

Four years after pro-life supporter Mark Houck's home was raided by 20 armed federal agents under the Biden Administration and he was arrested at gunpoint, he and his wife were awarded a settlement of over $1 million from the U.S. Department of Justice. All of this was because Mark had defended his 12-year-old son during an interaction with an aggressive Planned Parenthood volunteer while they were there to pray peacefully at the abortion facility. I'm thankful for this outcome and sorry for what this family had to go through. This is a win for all Americans who value free speech and life. https://t.co/EuRH9kwjtn

Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer.

A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing.

Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question.

Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?”

One question. No recovery.

Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?”

This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline?

Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.”

They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing.

They have never built anything heavier than a Word document.

And they publish it with absolute certainty.

That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in.

Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home.

His critics operate in a text editor.

He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap.

His loudest critics built a byline.

So why the coordinated hatred?

Because they lost the leash.

The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think.

They don’t hate the engineer.

They hate that the engineer took their monopoly.

You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics.

They own the syntax.

He owns the physics.

One of them is going to Mars.
