For years, cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy walked past the quiet old janitor who mopped their floors and cleaned their showers. Most of them gave him little more than a passing nod.
In the fall of 1976, a cadet named James Moschgat was reading a book about the fighting in Italy in World War II. On one page he found the story of Hill 424, and a Private William Crawford from Colorado.
He turned to his roommate. "Holy cow... I think our janitor is a Medal of Honor winner."
On September 13, 1943, near Altavilla, Italy, Private Bill Crawford's company was pinned down by German machine guns. He went forward alone and destroyed the first gun with a grenade. Then he went after the second and destroyed it too. At the third, he killed one gunner, the rest ran, and he turned their own machine gun on them.
Soon after, he disappeared. The Army believed he had been killed. In 1944, his father accepted the Medal of Honor in his place.
He was alive. He spent about 19 months as a prisoner of the Germans and survived a forced march in the winter of 1945.
After the war he went back into uniform. He retired in 1967 as a master sergeant and took a job as a janitor at the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
He never told the cadets.
The following Monday, Moschgat brought the book to him and asked.
"Yep, that's me."
"That was one day in my life and it happened a long time ago."
Word spread. The man with the mop had never had the medal placed around his neck by a president.
On May 30, 1984, at the Academy's graduation, President Ronald Reagan told the stadium about a private on Hill 424 whose father had accepted his medal for him.
"Nearly 40 years have gone by, and it's time to do it right."
Then the President of the United States hung the Medal of Honor around the neck of the old man who used to clean the cadets' bathrooms.
Moschgat went on to fly fighters for 30 years and retired as a colonel. On his graduation day, the janitor had told him, "Good luck, young man."
Bill Crawford died in 2000. He is buried at the Academy where he once mopped the floors.
Tomorrow is Veterans Day. Look twice at the quiet old man with the broom.
Some of them already gave this country a day it can never repay.

A school district that threatened to arrest parents for wearing "XX" wristbands, to protest a male in a girls' game, admitted violating their First Amendment rights, promised to honor their rights going forward, and paid them $275,000. justthenews.com/government/c…

70,000 people died in Gaza during the war. According to Hamas itself, 50,000 of them were Hamas fighters. And of the 20,000 “children” killed, 80% were male combatants aged 16-18.
The Gaza “genocide” is the biggest hoax of the 21st century.

The Singularity is now
We were told the Singularity would arrive like a comet – a date, a flash, a headline. It won't. It's already here, and it looks like a press release nobody reads.
Anyone who has been trading knows this. Compounding is boring for years, then sudden. The curve doesn't change its nature at the knee – only our ability to ignore it does. An exponential is the one trend where the past is a bad guide, because the past is the flat part.
Look at biology, just the last six months. A pill that doubles survival in the deadliest cancer. A single infusion that edits a gene – no pills, no refills, no return visits. A man living on a pig's kidney. Each one, alone, is a story. Together, they are a slope.
And the same slope runs through AI, energy, rockets, materials. Each field now accelerates the others. That is what the Singularity actually is: not the moment machines wake up, but the moment progress starts feeding on itself faster than we can absorb it.
Here is the part nobody says. The bottleneck is no longer science. It's permission. The body is becoming a software problem, but our institutions still run on paper, committees and fear. The science is exponential; the bureaucracy is linear. And when a linear system meets an exponential one, the linear one doesn't win. It gets bypassed.
Europe should listen carefully. A continent that regulates before it builds will not be defeated by the future – it will be made irrelevant by it. It will approve the cure the year after its citizens started flying elsewhere to buy it.
The Singularity will not be announced. Nobody rings a bell at the knee of the curve. It will be noticed afterwards – by the people who stood in it the whole time, waiting for a sign. And what comes after will belong to those who didn't wait.

Perhaps no claim has been as frequently repeated by the gun control side in recent years than "guns are the leading cause of death for kids."
Our new Fact Sheet examines this claim in detail using the CDC's provisional data for 2025, which is the most recent available.
The takeaway: while gun-related causes temporarily passed traffic-related causes during the crime surge years, you can only claim guns were the leading cause of death among minors if you:
1. Ignore that accidents as a combined category have always been a far greater cause of death for that age cohort; and
2. simultaneously combine all gun-related deaths regardless of intent (suicides, homicides, and accidents).

TERRIBLE optic for ALL women's professional sports.
STRONG argument for voting YES on the WA initiative to protect girls' sports.
That initiative (IL26-638) strengthens state compliance with and application of Title IX of the federal Civil Rights Act. That is the bulwark of girls' sports at the amateur level and women's sports at the professional level.
I was just forcefully removed from a @ThornsFC game for the crime of wearing an @xx_xyathletics t-shirt. I am in shock. We peacefully wore our shirts. We were assaulted by fans. Then WE were forced to leave – with FORCE by stadium security. I am utterly in shock.

2 nights ago I saw a car fly.
This morning I saw a taxi without a driver.
A few weeks ago I saw a rocket caught out of mid air.
In Vegas I got to the convention center going through a tunnel.
During the floods in Texas, I used Starlink to connect to First Responders.

You seem upset that the Palestinians suffered the absolutely predictable and just consequences of their actions. I guess you’re going to have to be upset.
Something that’s going to piss off the people who are not already pissed off at me today: I do find the “there is no genocide in Gaza” thing pedantic at best and malicious at worst. Ok, whatever word you want to use, clearly an atrocity has occurred/is occurring. You can make valid points about whether or not it technically meets the definition, but almost no one is arguing this in good faith, they are just deflecting.

The city of Seattle has a municipal tree code that is almost 10K words long. It has a system of 4 tiers outlining what can be cut. If you want to cut trees in Seattle, you must apply to the city to be an approved provider and prove mandated insurance. If you want to cut them on your own property, you have to hire registered removers. All these law-abiding people are subject to civil penalties if not permitted, insured, and in compliance. I’m sure the tree removal here is on the up-and-up, though. And if not, I’m sure the rules will be enforced.

In the annals of “things I told you guys months ago that you got so angry at me for,” the dude bankrolling the anti-data center stuff is Roy Singham, the Chi-Com sympathizing billionaire married to the Code Pink co-founder. He also pays Hasan Pikers bills.

It is a perfectly reasonable standard for a society to set that if you murder a child, your life is over. If you wanna let an insanity plea spare them from the death penalty? Fine. But they must die in prison. It’s not about punishment. It’s just protection. If you could snap and kill a kid, you simply can’t be trusted around people anymore. No matter what triggered it. This is in no way controversial.
It’s not like these baby killers are out curing cancer or something. They can rot in jail and ask God for mercy. We have become way too tolerant of criminality and way too compassionate towards the dregs of society. We have to stop wasting our compassion on baby killers and drug zombies. We have fire victims in Altadena and the Palisades and Spokane and Paradise (still) who are completely screwed and we are using up all our energy and empathy on the worst people in society. Snap out of it, folks.

HILARIOUS 😂
Woman MOCKS Lindsay Clancy supporters with extreme accuracy‼️
This is the funniest most spot on 🎯 video you will see all day.
Mockery is the most effective way to battle back against the insanity.
This!!
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Marine Joey Jones, who deployed to Afghanistan and lost his legs there, just ERUPTED after the fake news amplified complaints about "food" and "conditions" on the Abraham Lincoln
"To SIT THERE and say that it was terrible because you had a 'corn dog and a hot dog,' I would have traded a BLOCK OF C4 to the TALIBAN for a hot dog about July 2010!"
"To that little kid and whoever raised him, Lord HELP YOU if you ever go into a hot war on the ground like MILLIONS of Americans! That I can only THINK what a World War II veteran sitting there who's lucid enough today to see that and think about the six-month journey home from fighting the toughest war we've EVER fought after being there for four years was thinking, listening to him COMPLAIN like that."
"You know what I ate in Afghanistan for 6 months on a burner with using a little burner? I ate ramen noodles. I had to pull the seasoning packet out because that's too much sodium in it and I put tuna packets in it. That's what I ate!"
"How WEAK are you on TV complaining about tuna and noodles? I'm sorry! YOU volunteered to serve your country."
"You can come back and get out of the military and do what all of these Democrat veterans and COMPLAIN about it and make commercials and be a SELLOUT if you want to and come up with a new way of doing things!"
"The last Democrat president that I remember that was deploying troops, Barack Obama had me going to Iraq on patrol bases for 15 months at a time, eating MREs!"
"I'm sorry, but you're a sitting DUCK on a patrol base in Iraq, in Afghanistan, a heck of a lot more than you are on a fortified Navy ship sitting in the water!"
"it makes me fume. If he sat there and said we didn't have any clean water to drink, we couldn't take a shower. I mean, well, I didn't get to take a shower for about six months, but still, you know, something that has something to do with hygiene?!"
"You know, like getting sick, there was a scurvy outbreak and, the guys that were missing legs were only giving wooden pegs instead of metal ones? Then maybe I might have some sympathy!"
The fake news is COMPLICIT!

Not one of them ever plagiarized a word. Not one fraud. Not one retraction. Their reward for a lifetime of honest work? Uncle Tom. Race traitor. Sellout.
Claudine Gay -- plagiarized her way to the top and resigned as Harvard's president.
Jason Arday -- Cambridge's youngest black professor now facing major plagiarism allegations and resigned while his university investigates whether or not his own biography was real.
Nobody called them sellouts. The Left called them victims of racism, a racial witch hunt.
In the age of white guilt, honesty is punished and fraud is protected, as long as you serve the right side.
