I just voted early for Ken Paxton. This is the first time I've voted anywhere besides Kansas. If I still lived in Kansas, I would have voted early for Roger Marshall, who is one of America's greatest senators.
Don't sit this election out! Do your civic duty and vote! EARLY!!! 🇺🇸

Operation URGENT FURY was the operation name for the invasion of Grenada, which occurred 43 years ago today, on 25 October 1983. I was part of the rescue force (B Squadron) to free the Grenadian political prisoners being held in Richmond Hill Prison (today known as His Majesty's Prisons). In six Blackhawk helicopters, we took a lot of Cuban and Grenadian fire at the prison. Seventeen of the rescue force were wounded, eight 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment crew were wounded, and the pilot of helicopter number four CPT Keith J. Lucas was mortally wounded and number four crashed. We were hit by two ZSU-23-2s that were mounted on top of Fort Frederick. The sky was filled with 23mm, 12.7mm, and 7.62mm ammunition directed at us. We freed the Grenadians from a Marxist coup. Today in Grenada, the 25th of October is known as Thanksgiving Day, a national public holiday, which celebrates the United States helping to free Grenada. I cover Operation URGENT FURY in great detail in "Blasting Through."

It's a TUMBLEWEED TAKEOVER.
Strong winds at Scotts Bluff National Monument in Nebraska occasionally send thousands of tumbleweeds rolling across the landscape, piling up in massive drifts that can completely block roads.
