On March 16, 1968, US troops were raping and massacring Vietnamese civilians including children and babies at My Lai.
Then an American helicopter pilot named Hugh Thompson Jr. saw what was happening — and decided he could not stand by.
Thompson was flying a reconnaissance mission in an OH-23 Raven with his two crewmen, Glenn Andreotta and Lawrence Colburn. Their job was to scout ahead of the ground troops and identify enemy positions.
But something was terribly wrong.
From the air, Thompson noticed bodies everywhere — women, children, infants and elderly people. There was virtually no return fire.
He marked wounded civilians with smoke so they could receive medical help.
But when he came back, he discovered that some of the people he had marked as wounded had been shot dead.
He watched a wounded Vietnamese woman lying on the ground. An American soldier approached her, prodded her with his foot — and shot her in the head.
Thompson was horrified.
He then saw a group of 12–15 Vietnamese women and children fleeing toward a bunker while American soldiers pursued them.
He landed his helicopter between the civilians and the soldiers.
Thompson confronted the Americans and ordered his crew to cover the civilians. He told his gunner, Lawrence Colburn, to train his M60 on the American troops and fire if they opened fire on the Vietnamese.
Think about that.
An American soldier had reached the point where he was willing to risk shooting fellow American soldiers to prevent them from committing more war crimes.
Thompson then helped get the civilians out of the bunker and called in other helicopters to evacuate them.
His crew helped rescue Vietnamese survivors and wounded children.
After returning to base, Thompson immediately reported what he had witnessed to his superiors.
Hugh and his men deserve to be remembered, not because they were American soldiers, but because they chose humanity when others had abandoned it.
While others were killing innocent people, these three Americans risked their lives to save them.
That is courage. That is humanity. This is Thompson Hugh Jr.
In my opinion, Tillamook Cheese Company just flushed 117 years of business down the tube. Me, my family and many I know, will no longer purchase their Halal products. We are done, just like Bud Lite and Garth Brooks.
OCEANO DUNES: Birthplace of the dune buggy, $500 million a year for the local economy...the Coastal Commission wants it CLOSED.
Why? Because they're JOYLESS bureaucrats who don't want anyone to have fun!
That’s why we’re creating OFF: The Office of Fun and Freedom. Its only job: get rid of rules, not write new ones.
BECERRA IS TANKING. 📉
STEVE HILTON IS SURGING. 📈
The Sacramento establishment said this race was over.
THEY WERE WRONG.
A Berkeley poll gave Xavier Becerra an 18-point lead. Days later, a new Wolfson poll puts his advantage at just 8.2 points:
🔵 Becerra: 49.2%
🔴 Hilton: 41.0%
⚪ Undecided/other: 9.8%
Becerra’s reported advantage has been CUT BY MORE THAN HALF.
Why? Californians have had enough of arrogant, one-party rule.
The California Energy Commission’s tire mandate says everything: unelected bureaucrats dictating which tires families can buy—restricting choice and threatening higher costs.
Becerra represents more of the same.
Steve Hilton showed up and fought back.
He is standing against government overreach, crushing costs, rampant homelessness, uncontrolled crime and a political establishment that stopped listening years ago.
THE MOMENTUM IS REAL.
THE ESTABLISHMENT IS TERRIFIED.
CALIFORNIA IS READY FOR CHANGE.
Volunteer. Donate. Organize. VOTE. ✅
🇺🇸 STEVE HILTON FOR GOVERNOR.
🐻 RESTORE THE CALIFORNIA DREAM.

#NEPAL: This is incredible. 1,643 children survived because one headmaster acted fast when disaster was already on the way.
He received a warning that a village upstream had been swept away by the river. He immediately rang the school bell and moved the children and teachers to higher ground.
School buses were on the way to school, He called the bus drivers and told them: "Don't come here. Go back."
One school bus was already on its way. The headmaster saw it approaching the bridge and told the driver to turn back. The bus reached safety just before the bridge collapsed.
Then the flood hit the school. The entire three-storey school was washed away. It completely vanished. Not even a trace was left behind.
But all 1,643 children survived.
47 year old Rajendra Dadabi a teacher who became a hero when it mattered most. One man's quick thinking saved 1,643 lives.
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Los Angeles County is STEALING funds from a wildfire relief fund to give up to $15K CHECKS to noncitizens or residents "impacted by ICE raids"
All "without checking the recipient's immigration status"
$5 MILLION has already been redirected 🤯
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
600 days, most LA residents still can't even return to their homes after they were lost to the wildfires
But now money might be handed out to noncitizens?
California is AMERICANS LAST!
Just TWO DAYS after I urged @POTUS to break up the meatpacking cartel and let local ranchers process their own food, based on suggestions from my audience, the President took action. He instructed his administration to take on the Big 4 processors and give farmers and ranchers the right to process their own food.
When the American people speak, President Trump listens and he moves at light speed! It is insanely impressive. What a massive win for our nation!
🚨JUST POSTED🚨
President Donald Trump says he is “authorizing legal documents to be drawn in order to allow Farmers and Ranchers to be given the right to PROCESS THEIR OWN FOOD.”
This as the President acknowledges the beef cartel that has been robbing cattle ranchers for years.
You told people to boycott restaurants in favor of illegal street vendors. Your regulations and taxes are crushing small business.
You're a 36 year career politician with no clue how hard you've made it to actually run a small business in California, you ridiculous charlatan.
