@CorpBarnaby Great books if you want to know more about Simon Kenton

🇺🇸 Most Badass Americans You Don’t Know: #3 Simon Kenton Simon Kenton is an American Badass He was a 6-foot-2 giant of the frontier who survived being burned at the stake, running the gauntlet nine different times, and unimaginable torture at the hands of the Shawnee. He also saved Daniel Boone’s life. At just 16 years old back in Virginia, Kenton got into a brutal fistfight over a girl. Believing he had killed the other man, he fled west, changed his name to Simon Butler to avoid the law, and never looked back. He became one of the greatest scouts and long hunters in American history. He explored deep into hostile Shawnee territory when few white men dared go there. He claimed over a million acres of land. He fought in countless skirmishes, tracked war parties, and saved settler families again and again. The Shawnee captured him repeatedly. They forced him to run the gauntlet nine different times — a brutal quarter-mile corridor of Indians armed with clubs, sticks, and tomahawks. They sentenced him to death and tied him to a burning stake, only to be saved at the last minute by his friend, Simon Girty, who was a British man living among the Shawnee. They dragged him behind horses in a “Mazeppa ride” through brush and trees that would break most men. Each time he survived — and each time he went right back to fighting. In 1775 he joined the Kentucky militia. In April 1777, during a fierce Shawnee attack on Fort Boonesborough, Daniel Boone was shot in the leg and knocked to the ground. A warrior stood over him, ready to scalp him alive. Simon Kenton charged straight through the chaos, shot the attacker dead, clubbed another warrior who rushed in, then lifted the wounded Boone in his strong arms and carried him safely back inside the fort under heavy fire. Boone later looked at the young Kenton and told him, “Well, Simon, you have behaved like a man today — indeed you are a fine fellow.” In September 1778, while on a spying mission near Chillicothe, Ohio, Kenton was captured again by the Shawnee. He was tortured, forced to run the gauntlet multiple times, and condemned to death. Yet the Shawnee were so impressed by his unbreakable endurance that a widow whose son had been killed adopted him into the tribe. She cared for him for about 20 days until his wounds were healed. They gave him the name Cut-ta-ho-tha, which means “the condemned man.” They then moved him to Upper Sandusky for what was planned as a larger, more public execution at the stake. He had another narrow escape from death at the stake thanks to a dramatic rainstorm and further pleading by Pierre Drouillard (a French-Canadian trader and British Indian Department agent). Drouillard ransomed Kenton with trade goods. He was now a British prisoner of war and sent to Detroit around early November 1778. He escaped, traveling mostly by night through hostile territory for about 30 days facing hunger and near-capture, and reached safety in Kentucky by summer 1779. He next served as a scout under George Rogers Clark in the daring Illinois Campaign. He fought in attacks on Shawnee towns like Chillicothe and Pickaway, repeatedly risking his life spying behind enemy lines. In 1782, he learned the man he thought he killed at age 16 was still alive. He went back to his true name. When the War of 1812 broke out, the 58-year-old Kenton was appointed Brigadier General of the Ohio militia under the command of future President Major General William Henry Harrison. He led militia forces at the Battle of the Thames in Canada in 1813 — the battle in which the great Shawnee chief Tecumseh was killed. When American soldiers wanted to mutilate Tecumseh’s body for souvenirs, Kenton was asked to identify it. Knowing what they planned, he deliberately pointed to another fallen warrior instead, allowing Tecumseh to be buried with honor. He lived to the age of 81 and died in 1836. Simon Kenton is an American Legend 🇺🇸

LMFAO 🤣 Marco Rubio finding out he has to run Spirit Airlines. This is an absolute masterpiece 😂

Aziz Ansari made a surprise cameo as Kash Patel on SNL last night "For those of u saying I'm doing a bad job..what if I told u this agency is only 6 weeks away from pinpointing the exact location of Osama bin Laden” “I'm a trailblazer..first Indian person to suck at their job..everyone says Indian ppl are smart, hard working, incredibly intelligent..I've proven..that we can be just as incapable and incompetent as the whites"

Hard to believe my debut album, Killin' Time, was released 37 years ago today. Been reliving those early days lately… read the stories in my memoir, Killin' Time: My Life & Music, out May 19th. Appreciate all the love and support you’ve given me through the years.

Timeline cleanse! I wish you all this kind of joy.

Good times come up north sometime and see the big boys run

Genius idea!

Jeep drivers: Your ducks are gay and retarded.

@RandyGoat Sorry to hear that Randy!

@brad_culpitt Mine never said it and he died 3 years ago. I even tried baiting him to say it a few times. I'm glad yours finally said it.

Guys that rarely get compliments: What's the one compliment that you will always remember?

American foods are cleverly changing their names because they no longer qualify as that legal food - Pringles used to be potato chips, now they’re labeled as “potato crisps” per FDA rules - McDonald’s Shakes are now called “shakes” (not legally milkshakes in some states) - Klondike Bar is no longer a chocolate shell, it’s a Chocolatey shell (not real chocolate) - Dairy Queen: All items are “treats” (no “ice cream” on the menu) - Oreo changed the spelling to “creme” (alternative spelling, not real cream) - Tyson changed spelling to “Wyngz” (It’s a processed chicken labeling trick) - Costco Blueberry Bagels labels as Imitation blueberry bagels (no actual blueberries) - Pearl Milling Company Syrup (formerly Aunt Jemima) Now ‘Original syrup’ not maple syrup. The first ingredients is corn syrup Our food is a science experiment Make America Healthy Again

@codeofvets Present and accounted for Gretchen

Buddy Check. Sound off…

@Dusty3080467325 you have any RedLine hard hats I could borrow? I keep getting smacked in the head🤡

@RandyGoat Johnson personally raised $82 million in 2025 (a record for a Speaker in a non-election year) and $34 million in Q1 2026, for a cycle total exceeding $116 million in hard mone You can thank Newt Gingrich for the House becoming all about the money and having to buy committee seats

What does John Thune have on the rest of the Senate that keeps him in control?

@RandyGoat He controls the Senate election funds just like the Speaker of the house does In April 2026, Senate Leadership Fund announced plans to invest $342 million in ad reservations and related spending across eight key 2026 Senate races

@DRLDD Tony imitates how he holds Tyrone’s cock before it slides into Tony’s boyfriend

Never forget that liberal men are beta cucks.

@MRTs_Haircut @glenandrews Couple years back I had high hopes for that guy. Now I just hope he doesn’t win

@glenandrews Donalds needs to ride Trump coattails. Floridians are laughing behind trumps back at this. We will NEVER vote for Donalds.

Hell no! Donalds is the worst thing that could happen to Floridians. Everything Ron DeSantis has accomplished will vanish under Donalds. Vote for DeSantis lieutenant governor Jay Collins to keep Florida moving forward.
