George Medhurst Wratton was one of the most important but least publicly known interpreters during the final years of the Apache Wars. Born in 1865 in California, he grew up in Arizona and New Mexico and was exposed early to Apache communities through work at the San Carlos Agency store, where he developed a rare ability to understand and speak Apache dialects.

By his late teens, Wratton was working with U.S. military expeditions as an Apache interpreter and scout, valued for his accuracy and his ability to communicate not just words, but meaning between cultures. His skill placed him directly into one of the most critical campaigns in Western history—the pursuit and surrender negotiations of Geronimo and the Chiricahua Apache in 1886.

Wratton accompanied Lt. Charles Gatewood into Mexico during the final mission to locate Geronimo. During the famous talks at Cañon de los Embudos, he served as the primary interpreter between the Apache leaders and U.S. officers, helping ensure communication during tense surrender negotiations. His work is directly referenced in military reports confirming his role at the surrender discussions alongside Gatewood and Apache scouts.

After the surrender, Wratton continued working with the Apache people during their imprisonment and relocation, later serving as a superintendent and interpreter for Apache prisoners of war for decades. He remained closely tied to the community at Fort Sill and other posts, earning a reputation among both soldiers and Apache families as a trusted mediator. He later died in 1912, having spent most of his life working between two worlds during one of the most difficult chapters in Arizona and Apache history.

He is sometimes referred to as “the voice of Geronimo’s surrender” because of his role in carrying words across one of the most consequential negotiations in the Southwest.

I see David Lammy is doing a few damage limitation interviews in the wake of Henry Nowak’s murder.
Just for fun, one of the interviewers should ask him a general knowledge question.

Andrew Jackson just stared at the Dems 2026 🤡 clown car and roared:
“You muddle-headed hellions destroyed my party!”

2026 election lineup:

• Mayor Karen Bass — huge Fidel Castro fan, never met an illegal or drug zombie she didn't like!🤡

• Graham Platner — the toxic Nazi proudly flashing his Nazi tattoo while disparaging our Vets.🤡

• Texas soy boy James Talarico — An Alfred E. Newman from 'Mad Magazine' look alike who is running for Senate on a “Vote for me, I eat meat” platform🤡

From “Free Stuff!” and “Down with Jews!” to full-blown communist cosplay… these Dumocrats are so far left they’ve gone straight off the deep end!

Even JFK is spinning in his grave like a fidget spinner on Red Bull.
Pure clown show! 🤡

Today is my Freedomversary.

Eight years ago, President Trump granted me clemency and gave me a second chance at life. After nearly 22 years in prison, I walked out the gates and into a future I had prayed for but could no longer see.

I will never forget that moment.

Prison took many things from me, including years with my family and the loss of my parents and a son. But I never lost hope or faith that my life still had purpose.

The gift of freedom came with a responsibility: to help others.

Over the last eight years, I’ve advocated for second chances, supported criminal justice reform, and now serve as White House Pardon Czar.

From a prison cell to the White House, this journey has been possible through God’s grace and President Trump’s courage.

Every day, I strive to honor that gift by helping others find hope and a path forward.

Thank you to everyone who prayed for me, believed in me, and supported me along the way.

And to God be the glory.

🙏🏽❤️ #Freedomversary

82 years ago today, over 10,000 Americans were either killed, wounded or missing after the D-Day invasion. They are the shoulders we stand upon. Their sacrifice is why we STAND UP for our Flag. I dedicate this song to them today. Here's "The Man."

[Gary Sinise @GarySinise]

Thank you to all who fought and sacrificed in freedoms defense all those years ago. Incredible footage here. Blessed that both my uncles survived and will never forget the over 400,000 who did not come home.

That wasn't "veiled."

That was an outright condemnation of the leeches who thanklessly depend on the USA for their existence, and have since 1945.

These things need to be said, openly and publicly.

Derek Chauvin’s Moment of Silence at the MNGOP Convention — None of these Republican candidates have been able to answer the question. The media is afraid to even ask me the question and that tells you who the real candidate is. They fear my ability to bring clarity to complex or convoluted conversations.

Adam Schwarze, Michele Tafoya, Give me a break… It’s embarrassing and it’s intentional.

Derek Chauvin was wrong for what he did, like the great Rush Limbaugh said days after the incident. However, his trial was tainted. Public statements of assumed guilt made by both the Mayor of Minneapolis and Governor of Minnesota. In my opinion Derek Chauvin’s actions, although wrong, were not the SOLE cause of George Floyd’s death. They were a contributing factor. How much time somebody deserves for that? I don’t know, but he deserves a new trial. These feckless Republicans can’t even bring themselves to say it, because in their head they think they’re playing some undefinable election strategy. Undefinable because it’s incoherent at best, incompetent or insidious at worst. The elections aren’t secure, pro choice candidates will kill the Christian vote, pro Israel war fighters will be lambasted during an unpopular war and last but not least, this George Floyd issue is still hanging out there as a cultural wedge between Whites and Blacks across America. Divided and Conquered, at the very moment we need unity against the enemies of the people (Deep State). But who are many of these Republicans to pretend they aren’t invested in that divide? Being the Washington Generals pays well.

The self defeating scam is having an entire convention, only to “endorse” candidates with very little confidence in the process or results. While simultaneously handicapping Republican messaging in a short run against a megalithic Democrat machine. President Trump, please, we need federal help in Minnesota because these people are so bad at this, they should be slapped.

Mainstream media fears this kind’ve answer from any candidate, let alone one as young as me.
