"Witold Pilecki repeatedly warned the world about the Holocaust at a time when millions of future German victims were still alive and could have been saved. The world chose to ignore it," said Jack Fairweather, author of "The Volunteer", translated into 26 languages.
Captain Pilecki deliberately allowed himself to be arrested by German police on 19 September 1940. He was the only man to voluntarily enter the German camp at Auschwitz, where he gathered intelligence, organised resistance, and reported on the atrocities taking place there. His bravery defies description.
In April 1943, Pilecki escaped from Auschwitz and rejoined the Home Army (AK).
Five years later, he was captured by the communists, tortured, falsely accused of espionage, and murdered [*]

When the Palestinian terror group Hamas invaded Israel, this Jewish Israeli woman was killed when Hamas terrorists invaded the military base at Nahal Oz.
Shir Eliat was her name.
She was only 20-years-old.

My opponent stood shoulder to shoulder with Joe Biden while democrats launched a premeditated border invasion at YOUR expense.
As AZ’s only House member on the Homeland Security Committee, I’ve spent the last two years fighting to clean up their mess.

Britain stopped eating mutton because of nylon.
For 800 years wool was the money. It paid for the cathedrals and ransomed Richard the Lionheart. The Lord Speaker still sits on a sack of it.
So a sheep was kept for its fleece, year after year, four and five and six of them. Mutton was simply what happened at the end. By then she was a big, fat, fully grown animal, and she fed the nation.
Every chop house in London ran on it. Mrs Beeton gives it more recipes than beef. When Dickens wants a character to have a decent dinner, he gives him a mutton chop.
Then, in the 1950s, came nylon, polyester and acrylic. The wool price fell off a cliff and never climbed back. A fleece now fetches less than it costs to shear it off. Farmers have been burning them.
Once the wool was worthless, there was no reason to keep a sheep alive for five years. The only thing left to sell was meat, and the fastest meat is a lamb at five months.
Nobody decided to abolish the national dish. It disappeared in one generation as a side effect of the plastic jumper.
The plastic from that jumper is now in your bloodstream. The mutton is nowhere to be found. It was not a good trade.

I want to shake the hand of the guy who wrote this...
Have you ever seen a Muslim hospital?
Have you heard a Muslim orchestra?
Have you seen a Muslim band march in a parade?
Have you witnessed a Muslim charity?
Have you shaken hands with a Muslim Girl Scout?
Have you seen a Muslim Candy Striper?
The answer is no, you have not. Just ask yourself WHY ???
Barack Obama, during his Cairo speech, said: "I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America 's history."
AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'S RESPONSE
Dear Mr. Obama:
Were those Muslims that were in America when the Pilgrims first landed? Funny, I thought they were Native American Indians.
Were those Muslims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving Day? Sorry again, those were Pilgrims and Native American Indians.
Can you show me one Muslim signature on the United States Constitution?
Declaration of Independence?
Bill of Rights?
Didn't think so.
Did Muslims fight for this country's freedom from England? No.
Did Muslims fight during the Civil War to free the slaves in America? No, they did not.
In fact, Muslims to this day are still the largest traffickers in human slavery. Your own half-brother, a devout Muslim, still advocates slavery himself, even though Muslims of Arabic descent refer to black Muslims as "pug-nosed slaves." Says a lot about what the Muslim world really thinks of your family's "rich Islamic heritage," doesn't it, Mr. Obama?
Where were Muslims during the Civil Rights era of this country?
Not present.
There are no pictures or media accounts of Muslims walking side by side with Martin Luther King, Jr. or helping to advance the cause of Civil Rights.
Where were Muslims during this country's Women's Suffrage era?
Again, not present. In fact, devout Muslims demand that women are subservient to men in the Islamic culture. So much so that they are often beaten for not wearing the 'hijab' or for talking to a man who is not a direct family member or their husband. Yep, the Muslims are all for women's rights, aren't they?
Where were Muslims during World War II?
They were aligned with Adolf Hitler. The Muslim grand mufti himself met with Adolf Hitler, reviewed the troops, and accepted support from the Nazi's in killing Jews.
Finally, Mr. Obama, where were Muslims on Sept. 11th, 2001?
If they weren't flying planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, or a field in Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000 people on our own soil, they were rejoicing in the Middle East. No one can dispute the pictures shown from all parts of the Muslim world celebrating on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and other cable news networks that day. Strangely, the very "moderate" Muslims whose asses you bent over backward to kiss in Cairo, Egypt on June 4th were stone cold silent post 9-11. To many Americans, their silence has meant approval for the acts of that day.
And THAT, Mr. Obama, is the "rich heritage" Muslims have here in America ...
Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to mention the Barbary Pirates. They were Muslims.
And now we can add November 5, 2009 - the slaughter of American soldiers at Fort Hood by a Muslim major who is a doctor and a psychiatrist who was supposed to be counseling soldiers returning from battle in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Also, don't forget the Boston Marathon bombing on April 15.2013 was done by 2 Muslim Brothers. That, Mr. Obama, is the "Muslim heritage" in America
EVERY AMERICAN MUST READ THIS !!
Be sure to SEND IT TO ALL.
Muslim Heritage,

Edith Cavell, a British nurse in German occupied Belgium, helped more than 200 Allied soldiers escape to Holland in the First World War.
Shot in 1915, she became a martyr.

Odette Sansom.
The Gestapo placed her toenails on the table, one by one, and asked the question again.
She looked at them and said: “I have nothing to say.”
Before the war she was a French housewife in Somerset, raising three daughters. A letter offering photographs of the French coast reached the wrong office. Someone noticed her languages. In November 1942 she entered occupied France as “Lise,” working with the SPINDLE network.
In April 1943 she and Peter Churchill were betrayed and arrested in the Alps. On the way to prison she told the Germans he was her husband and related to Winston Churchill — and that she, not he, led the network. They believed her. He became a hostage. She became the target.
At 84 Avenue Foch they burned her with a red-hot poker and tore out her toenails. She knew names that would have destroyed the network. She gave them none.
Sentenced to death, she said: “Then you will have to make up your mind on what count I am to be executed, because I can only die once.”
At Ravensbrück she endured starvation, solitary confinement, and darkness. Childhood illness had already taught her darkness. She heard Violette Szabo, Denise Bloch, and Lilian Rolfe taken to their deaths. She survived.
In May 1945 commandant Fritz Suhren drove her toward American lines, hoping to bargain with her life. She stepped from the car and told the Americans to arrest him. She later testified. He was executed.
In 1946 she received the George Cross. She accepted it for the women who never came home.
Strangers wrote to her for decades when they were desperate. She answered. “People in trouble
seem to think I am someone worth writing to.”
Odette Sansom died in Surrey in 1995, aged 82. Until she could no longer travel, she returned each Remembrance Day for the SOE women who did not survive.
She called their connection permanent. ❤️

A mother and her three young children were trapped inside an upside-down SUV that was filling with water in a Florida canal.
One of the little boys was banging on the door, screaming that his mom’s head was underwater.
That’s when Casey Curtis heard the cries and ran toward the canal. He reached the submerged SUV and started pulling the children out one by one, getting all three to safety.
But their mother was still inside.
Casey went back to the vehicle and found her unconscious, still buckled into her seat with her head underwater. He lifted her face above the water, realized she wasn’t breathing and gave her a breath right there in the canal.
She started breathing again.
The mother spent several days in intensive care, but she survived. All three of her children survived too.
Those kids watched a stranger pull them from a sinking SUV, then turn around and go back into the water for their mom when she couldn’t save herself. Casey Curtis is the kind of person people should know about.

Le 24 décembre 1971, Juliane Koepcke, âgée de 17 ans, fut l’unique survivante du vol Lansa 508, frappé par la foudre alors qu’il survolait la forêt amazonienne péruvienne.
L’avion se désintégra en plein vol, et Juliane, toujours attachée à son siège, chuta de près de 3 000 mètres, soit environ deux kilomètres, à travers la canopée tropicale.
Miraculeusement, elle survécut à cette chute vertigineuse, souffrant seulement d’une clavicule brisée, d’une profonde entaille au bras et d’un œil tuméfié.
Ayant grandi dans la jungle aux côtés de ses parents zoologues, Juliane mit à profit ses connaissances pour s’orienter dans cet environnement hostile.
Elle suivit le cours d’un ruisseau pendant dix jours, se nourrissant de quelques bonbons qu’elle avait sur elle et buvant l’eau de pluie.
Ses blessures furent bientôt infestées de larves, et lorsqu’elle trouva enfin un bateau abandonné près d’un abri, elle eut le courage de verser de l’essence sur ses plaies — une méthode douloureuse mais efficace pour tuer les parasites.
Elle fut finalement secourue par des bûcherons locaux, qui l’emmenèrent vers la sécurité.
Sur les 93 passagers et membres d’équipage présents à bord, Juliane fut la seule survivante.
Son incroyable histoire reste l’un des récits de survie les plus extraordinaires de l’histoire de l’aviation.

Had to put my baby girl down yesterday. She was 15. Rescued about 8 years ago from several months in the shelter.
She was a good girl. Here’s Meow Meow with a milk mustache.

This woman sat next to me, and we were having a great time until she asked what I did for work.
The moment I said Turning Point Action, her whole attitude changed. She literally was evil about it. I told her we could still get along even if we had different views, but she wasn’t having it.she said I was a racist and crazy. Against my own race.
So much for the tolerant left. 🙃

When I was a Delta pilot, I used to layover in Minneapolis a lot. I visited the Mall of America a few years ago. I’d heard about it and had lots of time to kill. The copilot told me not to waste my time but I was super bored. I went for it.
I immediately regretted it. I felt like I was back in Mogadishu in 1993. Black Hawk Down vibes. It’s a third world hell hole. Couldn’t wait to leave. It’s not the United States, it’s Somalia.
We don’t want it and we don’t want @Ilhan.

The United States may be entering the most dangerous period since the defeat at Fredericksburg in 1862. It is clear that our will to survive is declining. The Iranian religious dictatorship continues to chant “death to America” and continues to work on its nuclear program and its missile systems. It is openly allied with Russia, Communist China and North Korea. The. Iranians have been targeting Americans and are openly trying to drive the United States out of the Region. The Democrats have become their allies and consistently vote for surrender when the choice comes up in the Congress. Some Republicans have become tired of the fight and the confusion and would accept a face saving defeat. The American people entered this fight with a clear understanding of what is at stake. According to America’s New Majority Project 55% believe the Iranians really mean it when they say death to America (62% of independents). Nearly two thirds of Americans (64%) believe the nuclear threat is real. The Iranian refusal to negotiate in good faith helps convince 60% that the nuclear threat from Iran is real. In fact 64% of the American people believe that a nuclear armed Iran could target American cities and kill millions. A series of Presidential Oval Office addresses laying out the 47 year history of Iran attacking Americans, killing Americans, supporting terrorist groups to kill American and working consistently to build weapons to bring “death to America” would solidify support for an all out effort to replace the religiously inspired dictatorship which has proven again and again that it can take a tremendous amount of punishment and continue to work toward destroying America. We have to either defeat the Iranian dictatorship or accept a willingness to coexist with Iranian nuclear weapons and missiles capable of destroying our citizens and killing millions. We are at a crossroads and there is not a third choice.

Vin Scully called Dodgers games for 67 seasons, from Brooklyn through Los Angeles, from 1950 through 2016.
Sixty-seven years with one franchise is almost impossible to compare to anything else in sports broadcasting. Scully received the Ford C. Frick Award in 1982 and died in 2022 at age 94. Generations of Dodgers fans literally grew up, grew old and heard the same voice the entire time.

Montana electrician Bob O’Bill promised in 1979 that he would build a statue of the Virgin Mary if his wife, Joyce, survived cancer. She recovered, and his promise eventually became a 90-foot statue of Mary overlooking Butte, Montana, known today as Our Lady of the Rockies.

Ben Stein Nixon speechwriter, Yale lawyer, the teacher from Ferris Bueller said this in 2019 and it still slaps:
“We have a society in which there are an awful lot of people who have no idea that Stalin, Hitler, Mao Tse-Tung all came to power promising the same kinds of things that Ms. Ocasio-Cortez is promising. And it led to mass murder, it led to dictatorship, it led to genocide. These promises are old promises and they invariably lead to bad things.”
Nailed it.
Free stuff is never free. Somebody always pays.
Let’s not let history repeat itself.
