Roy Benavidez was 32 years old on May 2, 1968, when a Special Forces team was surrounded near Lộc Ninh, Vietnam. Enemy forces closed in from every direction. Helicopters were taking fire. Men on the ground were wounded and running out of time.
Benavidez volunteered immediately.
He boarded a helicopter armed with a knife and a medical bag. That was it. As the aircraft hovered under fire, he jumped into the fight. The team he came to save was outnumbered and pinned down. Evacuation was failing.
For the next 6 hours, Benavidez stayed exposed.
He ran through fire to reach wounded teammates, dragged them to cover, and carried them toward extraction points. He treated injuries while directing air support and organizing defense.
When helicopters came in, he moved casualties first. When they lifted off, he stayed behind.
He was hit again and again.
By the end of the fight, Benavidez had taken 37 separate wounds. Bullets. Shrapnel. Bayonets.
His body was so damaged that medics believed he was dead. He was placed in a body bag with others who did not survive.
Then he moved.
Unable to speak, he spit in a doctor's face to show he was alive.
This was not the first time Benavidez had defied odds. During an earlier tour, he stepped on a landmine and was told he would never walk again.
At night, in secret, he trained himself to walk anyway. He returned to combat when doctors said he never should.
Recognition did not come quickly. Years passed before his actions were fully reviewed. In 1981, President Ronald Reagan awarded him the Medal of Honor, stating that if the story were a movie script, no one would believe it.
Benavidez spent his later years advocating for education and disabled veterans. He died in 1998.
Roy Benavidez did not act to be remembered. He acted because men were trapped and time was gone. He entered when survival said do not, and he stayed when leaving was possible.
Everyone else came out. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

🙏🇺🇸🙏 September 28, 2005. Near Safwan, Iraq. Airman Ist Class Elizabeth "Liz"" Jacobson was serving proudly with the United States Air Force during Operation Iraqi Freedom when her life was tragically cut short. She had been deployed for only three months. While traveling in a convoy near the Iraq Kuwait border, insurgents launched an ambush. During the attack, Jacobson was fatally wounded. She became the first female U.S. Air Force airman to die during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Elizabeth Jacobson had joined the Air Force with a deep sense of duty and pride in serving her country. Those who knew her described a young woman with determination, courage, and a powertul sense of purpose. Her father later said something that captured exactly who she was. "Liz had a warrior's heart. She loved serving her country. She was proud to defend freedom." She was only 21 years old. Behind the uniform was a daughter, a friend, and a young woman who believed deeply in the mission she had chosen. Her sacrifice became part of the long and difficult story of those who served in Iraq. And her name stands among the many service members who gave everything in the line of duty. Elizabeth Jacobson. Forever remembered for her courage and service. 🙏🇺🇸🙏

“When an Opera Singer tries to do Rap!🤪”
This performance during my BesteZangers adventure, back in 2018 (!) has been a pivotal moment in her career. Which is quite ironic, because it couldn’t be further from the opera genre!😅 I guess, good music is good music. And Maria Fiselier poured her heart into this performance! “You can do anything you set your mind to!” 💪
Who knows, maybe she will get to perform it very soon again!!😍
Wow she killed the song so good and my question is how did she memorize all the lyrics easily as that??⁉️👏👏

People born before 1990, what's something you experienced that younger generations will NEVER understand
English
@LOVESD2024 @houmanhemmati @elonmusk Of course. My point is that the bank has no ability to realize any POTENTIAL appreciation (other than loan principal payoff). To characterize the bank as an 80% owner is disingenuous.
English
@EJM_DC @houmanhemmati @elonmusk Enjoys appreciation?
The increase in value isn't captured until its worth is validated by what someone pays for it. Evaluation without payment is an abstraction.
English
. @elonmusk is correct. But we already have a “wealth tax” that taxes property owners at very high levels.
Let’s say you have $300k. You use $100k as down payment on $500k house.
In CA you’d pay ~1.25% or $6250/yr property tax or 2% of your wealth. Despite bank owning 80% of the house. More in other states. 6.25% every year on the money you put into the house. That’s on top of mortgage interest.
If you love paying property tax on the full value of the house you don’t fully own, you’ll REALLY love paying “property tax” on hypothetical “wealth” in your retirement account, bank accounts, engagement ring, clothing, furniture, and much more. With the state determining what they’re worth.
It’s coming. Unless we stop them now.
Blue states don’t have a revenue problem. They already have the highest income, sales, property, utility, & gas taxes. They have a spending problem. Cut them off & end the fraud. It’s the only way.
Elon Musk@elonmusk
They will eventually apply the “wealth tax” to everyone, just like the income tax, which was supposed to be just a temporary tax of a few percent of the top 1% to pay for WW1 …
English
I guess a better way to have phrased it while eating a breakfast burrito after having been on the road for 4 hours would have been to say actual injury isn’t “necessary”….
I’ve given 90 closing arguments in federal court, starting in 1994.
How about you?
Paleocon John@PaleoconJohn
@shipwreckedcrew Actual injury isn't irrelevant. It's conclusive proof of a threat of harm. A claim of being threatened with no actual injury is harder to win. Have you ever actually tried a self defense case as a defense lawyer?

Injury is irrelevant to the legality of his use of force.
Threat of injury is all that matters.
Pushing The Limits With Brian Shapiro@TheBrianShapiro
If Jonathan Ross was hit by a vehicle, why is there no record of him going to the hospital? Where are the injuries? Its a lie. He wasn'" hit " and he wasn't injured. He committed murder.

The more I go to these anti-ICE protests and see who shows up...
The more and more convinced I am that this is primarily a white, older, liberal women's movement.
It's EXTREMELY rare to see ANYONE of color or ANYONE in their 20s.
Can anyone explain to me why this is the case?

@DudespostingWs @grok who is the guy in the video and where is his social media posted

6 months ago, he got the opportunity to fix up this farm that had been abandoned since the 1990s and is turning into an incredible living space

Another horrifying image out of Minneapolis. Look at the terror on this man’s face as a federal agent points a gun at his face & threatens his life. Enough is enough. Our government is committing war crimes abroad & murdering & terrorizing citizens at home. We need a revolution.

🚨 INSANE MONEY FLOODING INTO $XRP! 🤯
TRADING VOLUME JUST EXPLODED GLOBALLY! $35 MILLION in just 1 MINUTE! 🤯

The US has become incredibly dependent on heavy crude oil.
In 1980, just 10-20% of US crude oil imports were heavy crude oil.
Today, the MAJORITY of US crude oil imports are heavy crude oil, at ~70%.
The US wants more heavy crude and Venezuela has BILLIONS of barrels of it.
English
The Venezuela plot thickens:
While Venezuela holds 303 BILLION barrels of oil reserves, much of this is HEAVY crude oil.
Texas and Louisiana also *happen* to have 6 of the LARGEST HEAVY crude oil refineries in the world.
What does this mean? Let us explain.

@TySimone4 @fopminui Great explanation, I didn’t get it until I read you’re explanation
English
The knowledge of the host has nothing to do with the odds like the explanation says. If it did, simulations would not support the solution.
You pick a door. That door has a 33% chance of being the right door and a 66% chance of being the wrong door.
Those odds do not change. When one of the two remaining doors is revealed, the one left still has a 66% chance of being right.
So switching is the smart move.
If you have trouble grasping that, consider it this way. Instead of opening the door, what if the two doors are merged into one?
At that point, you'd switch because you have 2 chances instead of the one. So opening one of the remaining is no different because you had 2 chances compared to the 1 you picked.

When people are anonymous, they say what they want to say. When they aren't, they avoid saying things that might provoke or offend those who can wield power over them.
Wide Awake Media@wideawake_media
Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez demands "an end to anonymity on social media"—under the guise of combatting "misinformation" and "hate speech". "We must... force all these platforms to link every user account to a European digital identity."
