#ResistanceRoots Hiroshi “Hershey” Miyamura was born on this day in 1925 in Gallup, N.M. He is known for being the only soldier whose Medal of Honor was classified Top Secret while he was held as a POW. His story is one of patriotism, bravery, loyalty and humble service against incredible odds. /1
Hiroshi Miyamura was a Staff Sergeant. This photo was taken after Miyamura’s repatriation during Operation Big Switch in August 1953. After spending 28 months as a prisoner of war, he crossed the Demilitarized Zone into the U.N. command center at Panmunjom’s Freedom Village for medical processing, debriefings and transition out of the theater as a newly released POW. Miyamura’s Medal of Honor citation does not adequately express his dedication and self-sacrifice. His acts of courage were focused entirely on protecting his men. During his 28 months as a POW, he grieved over those he believed were lost and felt guilt for failing to protect them. After receiving the Medal of Honor, he viewed himself as its custodian, stating that he wore it not for himself, but on behalf of all the men who never made it home. When he died in November 2022, he was buried with full military honors next to his beloved wife, Terry, leaving behind a legacy of humility and quiet citizenship.

Forty-odd years ago, I used to fish behind the power plants on the Indian River Lagoon. Manatees loved the waste heat discharge and would congregate there. The manatees would rest their head on the side of the boat and beg for scratches behind the ears. Manatees are constantly farting. Vegan diet.

Florida friends, I'm sure you don't need another reason to vote for Angie Nixon, but this is a pretty compelling one: she would take her seat in the Senate immediately, not in January, so she could be the reason Trump doesn't get to appoint another SCOTUS justice

I once fixed a 2017 Ram truck that had been damaged by a lightning strike. Like 4 sensors, the PCM, the body control module, and the RF Hub were toast. I also had to splice in a fused B+ into the harness for the RF Hub, as a wire had been damaged. The dealership had said it was unfixable.

If you have a friend with a decent odb scanner, you can check the output variables on the board and perhaps rule it out. The charging system tester from harbor freight is super cheap, and if it shows >.1 VAC it's bad diodes in the alternator. A true RMS multimeter can also narrow it down.

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)
Dear [name],

For years, the Biden Administration overcharged you to fund the operation of HealthCare.gov. That money belongs to hard-working Americans, not the Government, and now, I am returning it to you!

With this Historic Action, my Administration is taking the surplus funds that accumulated from the Obamacare ''Premium Tax" and issuing a one-time $500 REFUND to Americans who use the HealthCare.gov platform to purchase their health insurance, but who do not receive Taxpayer Subsidies to help pay for their Coverage. You have paid into this flawed System, and now you are finally getting something back.

Healthcare Dollars should benefit Patients, not Insurance Companies or Government Bureaucrats. Since returning to office, I have fought to lower Healthcare Costs, increase Accountability, and Put Patients First. Through TrumpRx, we are delivering massive discounts on Household Prescription Drugs, and my Most-Favored-Nation Pricing Agreements have already saved Americans more than 1 Billion Dollars on much-needed Medications. We also secured an unprecedented 50 Billion Dollar investment to transform Rural Healthcare, expanded access to Health Saving Accounts for millions of people on Obamacare, and restored Pnce Transparency, all while roofing out the Waste, Fraud, and abuse across our Healthcare System.

I am proud to return your money to you, and I will never stop fighting to put the American People FIRST, restore Affordability, protect your hard-earned money, and lower the Cost of Healthcare.

May God bless you, and may He continue to bless the United States of America!

Sincerely,

[signed] 

DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

The eternally complex love affair between the Dionysian and Apollonian
Krazy & Ignatz cartoon panel in which Ignatz hurls a brick at Krazy Kat, who misinterprets it as an expression of love.

The strip focuses on the curious relationship between a guileless, carefree, and simple-minded cat named Krazy and a short-tempered mouse named Ignatz. Krazy nurses an unrequited love for the mouse, but Ignatz despises Krazy and constantly schemes to throw bricks at Krazy's head, which Krazy misinterprets as a sign of affection while uttering grateful replies such as "Li'l dollink, allus f'etful", or "Li'l ainjil".
