As God, country, and the composer intended.

Major Frank Prentice was 18 years old when he dropped over a hundred feet off the stern of the Titanic into a sea full of ice.

He survived. This is what he saw.

Prentice worked in the Purser's office.

He was in his cabin at midships when the collision happened. He describes no chaos, no impact, nothing dramatic:

"It was just like jamming your brakes on my car. There was no great impact you couldn't feel. Just a bit of a shudder and she stopped."

That quiet did not last.

As the ship began to sink, Prentice moved through it.

He helped stewardesses into lifeboats who did not know where to go. He helped a woman named Mrs. Clark with her lifejacket. She did not want to leave her husband. He told her the husband would follow on later.

He would not.

On his way back from the lifeboats, Prentice heard the band. They were playing "Nearer My God to Thee" and singing.

He kept walking.

When the end came, he made his way to the stern. He describes it as quiet up there.

By the time he let go, the ship was nearly vertical. He had been hanging onto a board that read "Keep Clear of Propeller Blades."

At the very last moment, he let go and fell.

"I just missed the propellers on the way down."

The drop was over a hundred feet. The water was packed with ice and chunks of berg.

His watch stopped at 2:20 am.

He was not alone in the water at first. Then he was.

"I gave it a long thought when I was on my own and everybody else seemed to be dead round me."

He had two life jackets and a cushion.

He paddled toward a light he could still see from the rockets the bridge had fired. He reached a lifeboat and climbed in.

Mrs. Clark was already there. She wrapped a blanket around him and tried to keep him warm.

Her husband had drowned.

When asked who was responsible for the disaster, Prentice did not hesitate.

He blamed the bridge. He blamed Bruce Ismay, chairman of the shipping line, for pushing Captain Smith to maintain speed through waters they had been warned were full of ice.

"We had warnings that there was ice. We had it from ships and shore, and we went straight ahead as if there was nothing there in our way."

His verdict was simple:

That ship was thrown away.

Prentice was interviewed decades later.

Asked if the memory still haunted him, he said:

"When I'm alone tonight, I still think a lot about it. Can't help it, can you?"

🚨 General Dan Caine just laid out the gritty reality of the two Iran pilot rescues.

F-15 Strike Eagle Dude 44 downed in hostile territory. Daylight rescue for the front-seater: A-10 Warthogs in Sandy role went toe-to-toe with the enemy in a gunfight so the Jolly Greens could get in and extract him under fire.

One A-10 hit, pilot still completed the mission and ejected safely later.

Night rescue for the injured back-seater: larger force fought through weather, enemy search, and multiple contingencies. Brought him home Easter Sunday after nearly 48 hours of evasion.

Every American accounted for. Rescue motto in action: “These things we do that others may live.”

General Caine to enemies: we will come get our people anywhere, anytime.

People hate on Sports Ball, but this is literally the most popular show on television, and there are guys like Stroud, Anderson, Purdy, etc. who use this platform to proclaim the glory of Christ. Major whitepill.

What this actually looks like:

ICE tries to get woman who thinks she's being cute for a video to move her vehicle.

Three agents surround the vehicle, one from the front, two from the driver's side. Likely looking to gain control of the situation. It is not cute to them, as they're being surrounded by a mob.

Woman panics, realizing this is in fact not cute, and attempts to flee thinking she can avoid arrest. Tire loses traction and the car doesn't immediately respond to gas input. Woman panics further and guns the gas causing an erratic vehicle take off.

Agent at the front of the vehicle almost gets hit. Agents respond by opening fire thinking the woman is using the vehicle as a deadly weapon, trying to hit the lead ICE agent at the front of the vehicle.

Woman who shouldn't have even been there, but was there because she got spun out of control on TikTok drama dies.

Agents have to live with it. Will likely have people demanding a mob-style execution by COB today.

What the Right Wants: Psychotic leftist domestic terrorist tries to kill ICE agents! We should use more force.

What the Left Wants: Fascist NAZI psychopaths are murdering women and children! We should use more force.

Who actually wins: Minnesota politicians and bureaucrats who can spin this into a riot and continue to avoid accountability for fraud. Federal politicians who can use the flames to continue to avoid accountability for a billionaire child sex trafficking ring.

Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

Don't be stupid, stupid.

During Trump's first term Maduro stayed in power after an illegitimate election.

The MSM/Democrats repeatedly claimed that Maduro remaining in power was proof that Trump was "Putin's puppet."

Everyone in this video will now be condemning Trump. It's so pathetic.
