40 miles north of baghdad. one of the things that struck me when i first arrived at that camp in 2005 was this big sign at the main gate that read is today the day? i saw that sign almost every day for the year that i was there, a reminder that any day could be our last. i was confronted with just how true this was as i worked in a medical unit every day, experiencing the high human cost of war. and it caused me to reflect. what am i doing with my life? am i making the most of every day that i have to do my best to be of service to god and to others? the question on that sign is today the day, it s just as relevant to everyone of us now here at home as it was to us in iraq so many years ago. i spoke to tucker recently on my podcast, the tulsi gabbard show, about this most important topic. here s part of our conversation. tucker: moving toward death had pretty high speed and one of the first things to go is my sight. i can t text without my glasses on. tulsi: i ve been f
extremismes that threatens the very foundation of our republic. there s no question that the republican party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by donald trump and the maga republicans. and that is a threat to this country. maga republicans do not respect the constitution. they do not believe in the rule of law. they do not recognize the will of the people. they refuse to accept the results of a free election. and promote authoritarian leadersor and flame the threatsf violence and a threat to our personal right, to the pursuit of justice, to the rule of law torque the very soul of this country. they look at the mob that stormed the united states capitol on january 6th, rudely attacking law enforcement, not as insurrection nists but place a dagger at the throat of our democracy and they look at them as patriots and see the maga failure to stop a peaceful transfer of power after the election as preparation for the 2022 and fo2024 elections, and now, america must choose
the man s name is jay and he is a mechanic who last week around 6:00 p.m. ventured out in his truck to help a friend trapped in the storm. along the way he picked up a young man an elderly woman. his truck wasn t drivable. it got stuck in the snow and then he ran out of fuel so he started going house to house knocking on peoples doors, asking for help, asking for shelter. every door he knocked on, local resident said no, they refused to let withey and his passengers inside their homes so they spent the night in someone s car. the next morning the situation was even worse. the elderly woman needed to use the bathroom and in the midst of a blizzard there was nowhere for her to go. so in desperation, withey looked at his gps and he noticed there was a school nearby. he then made a decision that would save dozens of lives. he used a spare set of brake pads to break into the school, setting off an alarm, continued on and soon more than 20 people
