Marine who crawled under bridge to plant explosives approved for Medal of Honor Capt. John Ripley hung 500 pounds of explosives under a bridge, swinging hand over hand for hours, to stop a major offensive in Vietnam.

From me:

Col. John Ripley, whose courage under fire beneath the Dong Ha Bridge is one of the Marine Corps' most hallowed stories of combat valor, will receive a posthumous Medal of Honor. The Senate OK'd it last week.

Truly, an astounding American combat story.

The restrictions Miller and Hegseth railed against were designed to prevent us from doing things like slaughtering children en masse.

Here’s a great action shot of POTUS leaning in to say β€œHail HYDRA” but stopping short because he can’t remember if Jorge Mas is in on it.

Accused of abusing two middle school children and wanted to keep them quiet by promising supposed restitution money from J6 conviction. We really had some of the worst of the worst in one place and just let them go.

β€œThe president said he understood the risks of an attack, but he conveyed to Mr. Carlson that he had no choice but to join a strike that Israel would launch.”

Stunning string of words put together here.

Actually it turns out that your son is still just as dead whether they die in an accident or active combat.

DD is truly one of the great heel-turn sports personalities in recent memory. Parlayed coaching into a respectable local sports radio gig combined with solid color analysis at the national level. Then proceeded to burn it all down. He once locked down MJ, but in life, couldn’t get out of his own way

β€œJamaran” is actually just a lyric from Black Betty and I don’t mind them misusing it because it’s really catchy.
