REMINDER:
Celebrating the 4th of July and America250 has NOTHING to do with whether or not you support the current administration.
It’s about celebrating the incredible country you live in.
We all should be on the same page there.
🚨 BREAKING: SecWar Pete Hegseth NUKES fat generals and announces a new twice-yearly PT test for top brass.
"It's unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon, and leading all around the world. It's a BAD LOOK, and it's not who we are!"
"You need to meet the height and weight standards."
"Today, at my direction, every member of the Joint Force at every rank is required to take the PT test twice a year, as well as meet height and weight requirements twice a year. EVERY year of service."
Today is Juneteenth. A day that Union Soldiers fought and died for, and freed the slaves. Why haven't I seen one post from a black American thanking them? This is my grandfather's grandfather a Union Army vet, 1000s like him volunteered to fight. Thank you for your service, young man.
They threw boots at him in the barracks.
They called him a coward.
His commanding officer tried to have him removed from the Army.
Everyone was waiting for him to break.
He never did.
His name was Desmond Doss.
And he became one of the bravest soldiers in American history without ever carrying a weapon.
Doss was a devout Seventh-day Adventist who believed the commandment "Thou shalt not kill" was absolute.
When World War II began, he volunteered to serve.
But he refused to carry a rifle.
He refused to take a life.
His fellow soldiers couldn't understand it.
Many hated him for it.
They saw him as a burden.
A liability.
A man asking others to fight while he stood aside.
But Doss wasn't trying to avoid danger.
He volunteered as a combat medic.
He intended to run directly into it.
By 1944, he was serving in the Pacific.
Under fire in Guam and the Philippines, he repeatedly risked his life to rescue wounded soldiers.
The insults started fading.
The men who doubted him had seen what happened when bullets started flying.
Doss always ran toward the wounded.
Then came Okinawa.
The Maeda Escarpment.
A place soldiers called Hacksaw Ridge.
A 400-foot cliff defended by heavily fortified Japanese positions.
On May 5, 1945, a massive counterattack forced American troops to retreat.
Most made it down.
Roughly 75 wounded men did not.
They were stranded on top of the ridge.
Abandoned under enemy fire.
Desmond Doss stayed.
Alone.
Unarmed.
He found one wounded soldier and dragged him to the cliff edge.
Using a rope, he lowered him to safety.
Then he went back.
And found another.
And another.
And another.
Each time he prayed the same prayer:
"Lord, help me get one more."
For hours he moved through gunfire, artillery, and chaos.
One man at a time.
By the end of the night, he had rescued approximately 75 soldiers.
Single-handedly.
Without firing a shot.
Days later, a grenade exploded beside him.
Shrapnel tore through his body.
While waiting for evacuation, he saw another wounded soldier whose injuries were worse than his own.
So he gave up his stretcher.
Then a sniper's bullet shattered his arm.
Using the stock of a broken rifle as a splint, he crawled hundreds of yards to safety.
On October 12, 1945, President Harry S. Truman placed the Medal of Honor around his neck.
Doss became the first conscientious objector in American history to receive the nation's highest military award.
One of the men he saved on Hacksaw Ridge was Captain Jack Glover.
The same officer who had once tried to force him out of the Army.
Years later, Glover called Doss one of the bravest men he had ever known.
Desmond Doss died in 2006 at the age of 87.
He never carried a weapon.
He never fired a shot.
He never compromised what he believed.
And when everyone else was running down the ridge, he kept going back.
Just one more.
Then one more.
Then one more.
"She climbed into an unarmed fighter jet with orders to ram a hijacked Boeing 757—knowing she wouldn’t survive. She was 26 years old, and she had approximately eight minutes to accept her own death.
Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. September 11, 2001. 10:00 AM.
First Lieutenant Heather “Lucky” Penney was in the air on a routine training flight when the order came through: return immediately. America is under attack.
When she landed, everything had changed. Both Twin Towers were burning. The Pentagon had been hit. And more hijacked planes were still in the sky.
Then came the worst part—there were no missiles loaded on her F-16. It was a training aircraft. No live weapons. Nothing capable of stopping a passenger jet.
Only one option remained.
“Penney, Sasseville—suit up. NOW.”
Within minutes, she and her commander were sprinting to their jets. Ground crews were still removing safety pins as intelligence came in: another hijacked plane, Flight 93, possibly headed for Washington.
The White House. The Capitol. No one knew which.
But someone had to stop it.
As she climbed into her cockpit, a crew chief looked at her and quietly said, “Good luck, ma’am.” Neither of them said what they both understood.
If they found the aircraft, they might have to ram it.
There would be no second chance. No ejection that could save her. Only impact.
On the radio came the order that defined everything:
“Stop that aircraft by any means necessary.”
She didn’t ask for clarification.
There wasn’t time.
Moments later, her F-16 roared down the runway and lifted into the sky. Within seconds, she was flying over Washington at supersonic speed—sonic booms shaking the city below like distant thunder.
Smoke still rose from the Pentagon.
She searched the sky for a Boeing 757 she might have to destroy with her own jet.
But 200 miles away, something else was happening.
Passengers on Flight 93 had already made their own impossible choice.
They stormed the cockpit.
At 10:03 AM, the plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania.
All 44 people aboard died—but Washington was saved.
Heather never had to complete her mission.
She circled the capital for hours afterward, protecting a city that had already been spared by strangers who refused to be victims.
When she finally landed, the crew chief was waiting. He looked at her and said quietly, “I didn’t think I’d see you again.”
Neither had she. "
The prayer just said at the Medal of Honor ceremony reminds us of why we can never forget the sacrifce our bravest make to secure our nation:
"Almighty God, you are our rock, our fortress, and the sustainer of this nation. Every perfect gift comes from your hand, and we give you glory for the courage you have woven into the soul of our armed forces. You teach us that true devotion is proven in sacrifice, and today, we honor these three patriots who, on the field of battle, proved their devotion to their comrades and their nation.
Father, we thank you for Major Dockery, who braved a ferocious ambush and at times shielded his men. For Major Capers, who despite grievous wounds refu- refused to yield, and for the enduring legacy of Colonel Ripley, who through a hail of gunfire halted a massive advance by the enemy. In their heroic actions, we see the living truth of your Word, "Greater love has no one than this, that they lay down their life for their friends." Their profound sacrifice in moments of extreme peril blesses us still today.
Now, Lord, we ask you to move in our hearts. Pour your abundant strength into our service members and their families. Guide our commander-in-chief and military leaders, and bless the United States of America. Unify us in spirit and keep us forever grounded in your grace. In your name I pray, amen."
🚨AWESOME! President Trump is officially awarding the Medal of Honor to LEGENDARY US Marine Veteran James Capers Jr. at the White House, decades after his heroic moments — when he IGNORED his own injuries to save his team in Vietnam
TRUMP LOVES OUR HEROES 🇺🇸
"Capers Jr. was leading his recon team through what was a really brutal ambush in South Vietnam. He ignored several serious wounds he suffered."
"He had broken legs. He was losing a lot of blood and he ended up saving seven of his fellow Marines in the process, leading his team to a helicopter landing zone."
"He reportedly also refused to board that helicopter unless the crew also took the body of his team's military working dog."
"When the chopper was struggling to take off, he repeatedly tried to get off to make sure it was light enough to fly." @BillMelugin_
@specialopsmag Wow this is incredible I hope he knows he is a hero 🤍 I can’t imagine adjusting to civilian life after something like this 🙏🏼🇺🇸🇺🇸 well deserved
Today on June 18, 2026, President Trump will award the Medal of Honor to retired US Army Green Beret Major Nicholas Dockery for his actions in Afghanistan, 2012.
On 2 October 2012, Lieutenant Dockery’s element of Afghan and US forces was ambushed by a large group of Taliban fighters who engaged the platoon with rifle, machine gun and RPG fire.
In contact, Dockery moved back and forth several times over open ground attempting to rally and reinforce the Afghan units with his own small element. Hearing that one of his Soldiers was wounded, Dockery moved inside a courtyard to defend the small isolated group of US Soldiers.
He assaulted into the next room, killing one enemy fighter. Surrounded by more enemy fighters, Dockery rallied the remaining 4 US Soldiers and continued to defend the courtyard.
As the enemy continued their assault, RPG and grenade blasts suppressed the fire team. Attempting to regain the momentum, Dockery led a counter attack to clear the courtyard, using his body to shield a Soldier from an enemy grenade explosion.
The enemy again attacked the compound with 10 additional fighters. RPG fire and grenades wounded the entire element and destroyed the last covered position of Dockery’s team.
Noticing that one of his NCOs was missing, Dockery moved into a nearby alley and found 2 enemy fighters dragging away an unconscious US Soldier. He assaulted the two fighters and killed them both in close combat, and then began CPR and first aid on the Soldier, ultimately saving his life.
Dockery then moved to the roof of the compound, still under enemy fire, and fired smoke grenades to mark his position for friendly helicopter gunships to suppress the remaining enemy.
Dockery continued serving after his deployment, earning the Green Beret and leading Special Forces teams in some of the military's most demanding assignments.
While Obama was dividing the nation at his hideous library, President Trump was honoring American warriors with the Medal of Honor.
Funny how the media barely mentions it. They had wall-to-wall coverage when Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres, but recognizing military heroism doesn't seem to generate the same enthusiasm.
Some of the nation's greatest heroes deserve more attention than Hollywood's trash.
Dear professional baseball players,
ANY player in ANY professional LEAGUE who is FINED by their league for refusing to be FORCED to participate in WOKE LEFTIST AGENDAS, who refuses to wear ridiculous uniforms (or cleats), @TPUSA and I will PAY any and ALL of your Fines!
You signed a contract to play baseball, you didn’t sign a contract to go against your deeply held Christian religious beliefs.
Baseball is our National Pastime, not Drag queen story hour.
Sincerely yours,
Rob Schneider and Turning Point USA!
RILEY GAINES ON BIRTH CONTROL:
“So I was on birth control in college, but only because — as a swimmer — you can imagine it’s not exactly comfortable to bleed in a sport like that. The bathing suits are pretty revealing, and we’re in the water six hours a day.
“I got on it specifically to stop my period entirely. Looking back now at 26, if I could go back and tell 18- or 19-year-old me anything, I would absolutely tell her not to do that.
“I just had a pretty comprehensive health screening — blood work, cancer screenings, the works. One of the only things the doctors flagged was that I had super low bone density. I thought that was strange because I lift weights, which should promote bone growth. So I asked the doctor what could cause it.
“She asked if I had been on birth control that let me skip my periods. When I said yes, she told me that was likely the cause. She said it’s good that we caught it now — I’m young and healthy, so I can work to build it back up — but if I had stayed on it longer, it could have really hurt me in the long term.”
I’m fighting for a western civilization where none of them had to die.
We’re not fighting red vs. blue.
We’re fighting good vs. evil.
Darkness vs. light.
We must win.
