October 3, 1993. Mogadishu.
Two Delta snipers looked down from a Black Hawk at a crash site the city was already closing on. Super Six-Four was down. The crew was wounded. Ground forces could not reach them in time.
Master Sergeant Gary Gordon and Sergeant First Class Randy Shughart asked to be put on the ground.
Denied.
They asked again.
Denied. Two men could not hold that ground, and everyone on the radio knew it.
They asked a third time.
This time the answer was yes.
They fast-roped in with sniper rifles, sidearms, and not enough ammunition. They pulled Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant from the wreck and set a perimeter they already knew they could not keep.
Shughart was killed. Gordon ran dry, handed Durant a rifle and the last rounds, said “good luck,” and went back in with his pistol. He was killed minutes later.
Durant lived. He later said he owed his life to those two men.
They were the first Medals of Honor awarded since Vietnam. Awarded posthumously, May 23, 1994.
They did not go down because they thought they would win. They went down because the men on the ground were still alive.
Never forget MSG Gary I. Gordon and SFC Randall D. Shughart.
California set aside $24 billion for homelessness.
California then announced that the entire $24 billion DISAPPEARED.
Finally, it was tracked down.
It turns out that the funds were turned over to an NGO.
Instead of helping the homeless, the funds were used for a mansion in LA, a home in Greece, and a $125,000 vehicle.
All under the watchful eye of Gavin Newsom.
The dude belongs in prison.
🗣️ UEFA President on Chelsea winning it all:
“Don’t hate on them. It’s almost impossible to win all our competitions. I don’t think it will happen soon or EVER.”
Chelsea didn’t just win Europe.
They completed the entire UEFA trophy collection.
Some clubs are still trying to win their first European crown.
Chelsea are out here collecting the whole set.
Never Forget
President Trump said simply "If you agree with this statement, please stand."
"The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens. Not illegals."
Not one democrat stood.
Not one.
Remember that when you vote.
