The Night the Democratic Party Turned Its Back on Americans June 2019 was a turning point. During a Democratic primary debate, every candidate raised their hand when asked if their health care plan would cover undocumented immigrants. Many looked to see if others raised their hands first before agreeing. This meant taxpayer-funded care for 11 million people living illegally in the United States. Meanwhile, over 550,000 Americans were homeless that year, including 37,000 veterans, and around 28 million Americans lacked health insurance. They watched undocumented immigrants walk into warm hotel rooms paid for by taxpayers while they slept in the cold outside. In California, Democratic leaders borrowed 3.44 billion dollars from the general fund to cover a Medi Cal gap. The program now spends 8.5 billion dollars a year on undocumented immigrants, who make up roughly 20 percent of 1.7 million full scope Medi Cal enrollees. Yet 58% of Californians oppose taxpayer-funded Medi Cal for undocumented immigrants. Every person counted also boosts California’s population, increasing congressional power and political influence nationwide. Americans are reacting. The fastest growing states are Florida, Texas, and Georgia. The fastest shrinking are New York, California, and Illinois. From 2020 to 2024, Democrats lost 2.1 million registered voters while Republicans gained 2.4 million. Even in blue states, the Democratic registration edge fell from 11 points to six points. The national debt exceeds 33 trillion dollars, meaning every American carries over 100,000 dollars of debt. Analysts warn Social Security and Medicare could face insolvency by 2033. Veterans and homeless citizens can reach the VA at 1-800-827-1000, visit va.gov, or call the National Homeless Shelter Hotline at 1-800-799-6599. Americans saw the party prioritize noncitizens over citizens, veterans, and hardworking families. We cannot help others unless we help ourselves first. #HealthCare #America #USA #News

John F. Kennedy: The President with the Highest All Time Approval John F. Kennedy, the thirty fifth president of the United States, is still viewed as one of the most respected leaders in modern American history. Throughout his presidency, his approval rating stayed near 70 percent, which is one of the highest averages ever recorded. His standing is measured through the modern polling system that began in 1936, allowing his numbers to be compared across generations of presidents. Based on this long record of surveys, Kennedy holds the highest average approval of any president in the polling era. Kennedy’s popularity came from his personality, message, and calm leadership during major challenges. His inaugural address, urging Americans to serve their country, became one of the most memorable speeches in US history. During the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962, he guided the country through thirteen days of extreme tension, preventing nuclear conflict and earning wide respect. His support for early civil rights efforts and his commitment to the space program added to the sense that he was leading the nation into a new and ambitious era. Surveys taken long after his death show how strong his legacy remains. One major poll found that 85 percent of Americans approved of his performance when looking back on his presidency. Even during difficult periods, such as the aftermath of the Bay of Pigs invasion, Kennedy kept approval ratings above 70 percent, something few presidents have matched. His calm approach, clear communication, and ability to connect with the public helped him maintain support across states, age groups, and political backgrounds. Kennedy’s consistently high approval demonstrates how trust and confidence from the public shape a president’s place in history. Although he served less than one full term, his leadership during world crises and his appeal to national unity left a lasting mark. #Politics #USA #History #USHistory #America

America’s Largest Cash Heist: The Dunbar Depot Robbery The Dunbar Depot robbery in Los Angeles in 1997 remains the largest cash theft in the United States. A safety inspector at the armored facility spent months studying camera gaps, door access points, employee routines, and the placement of bundled currency. His role allowed unrestricted movement through loading corridors and vault staging areas, giving him a clear understanding of when the depot held the most cash with the fewest workers present. On a Saturday night the crew used duplicate keys to enter the building and moved through a corridor the leader knew would not be captured on video. They reached the loading zone where millions in currency waited for early morning distribution. The thieves restrained employees and seized stacks of high denomination notes arranged for upcoming shipments. They filled large bags with 18 million dollars and exited without triggering alarms or leaving meaningful forensic evidence. A rented truck nearby served as the transport vehicle. The money was divided among storage units, safe houses, and small businesses used to launder portions of the stolen cash. Investigators struggled because the entry showed no forced damage and the timing indicated deep internal knowledge. The clean scene created one of the most difficult financial crime cases in the country, and federal agents later stated they believed additional accomplices never surfaced. The breakthrough came when an accomplice attempted to use a group of bills still in a sequence traceable to the depot inventory. Federal investigators followed the trail and identified multiple conspirators. Arrests followed as associates made large purchases or moved cash in unusual patterns. The organizer received a 24 year sentence and several accomplices received 7 to 10 year terms. Authorities recovered only 5 million dollars, leaving 13 million dollars missing, and the crime remains America’s largest heist. #History #USHistory #USA

Miracle Over Missouri: George Lamson, Sole Survivor of TWA Flight 128, 1967 On November 20, 1967, TWA Flight 128, a domestic passenger flight in the United States, collided midair with a United Airlines aircraft over Missouri at approximately 11,000 feet. The collision destroyed both planes, killing all 7 crew members and 93 passengers aboard TWA Flight 128 and all 58 people aboard the other plane. George Lamson, a passenger from Missouri, survived, making him the sole survivor of 151 fatalities from the two aircraft. Lamson was seated near the rear of the plane. Investigators concluded that structural debris formed a partial protective space around him, absorbing much of the impact energy. He sustained multiple fractures, including a broken leg, several broken ribs, and a crushed pelvis, as well as internal contusions and significant blood loss. His vital organs avoided fatal trauma, a rare outcome in high energy midair collisions. Rescue crews located him within 20 minutes. Emergency responders stabilized him, controlled hemorrhage and shock, and transported him to a regional hospital. Surgeons performed orthopedic stabilization, blood transfusions, and intensive monitoring. Lamson spent 6 weeks hospitalized and underwent 3 major surgeries. Recovery included months of physical therapy to restore mobility and strength. Later in life, Lamson lived a relatively private life in Missouri. He reportedly returned to work in civil service and rarely spoke publicly about the crash, though he occasionally participated in interviews and safety studies. His survival, one of the rarest in American aviation history, demonstrates how seat location, debris orientation, rapid rescue, and sheer chance aligned perfectly. Analysts estimate that in similar midair collisions, the chance of a single passenger surviving is less than 1 percent, underscoring the extreme improbability of sole survival in catastrophic crashes. #PlaneCrash #Aviation #America #USA #History #Survivor

Arkansas ICBM Silo Accident: When A Titan II Almost Went Nuclear

On September 18, 1980, a routine maintenance operation at Titan II Missile Complex 374-7 near Damascus, Arkansas, escalated into one of the most serious nuclear accidents in U.S. history. Airmen were performing detailed maintenance on the missile, which stood 103 feet tall, weighed 33 tons, and housed a W-53 thermonuclear warhead capable of 9 megatons, enough to destroy an entire city. During the operation, an airman accidentally dropped an 8-pound socket wrench. The tool fell roughly 80 feet, bounced off a steel thrust mount, and punctured the missile's first-stage fuel tank, releasing Aerozine 50, a highly flammable liquid propellant that reacts instantly with dinitrogen tetroxide. The silo, buried deep and designed to withstand conventional blasts, became a volatile trap. The Air Force evacuated personnel and began emergency containment. Crews attempted to pump water into the silo to dilute fuel vapors and vent pressure, but the chemical reaction persisted. Overnight, the situation worsened, and the combination of leaking fuel and oxidizer created a constant threat of fire or explosion. Around 3:00 a.m. on September 19, a massive explosion occurred, launching the 740-ton silo door hundreds of feet away. The missile and its W-53 warhead were ejected intact. Safety mechanisms prevented a nuclear detonation or radioactive release, but the blast destroyed the silo and nearby equipment. One airman was killed and 21 others injured, mostly emergency responders from Little Rock Air Force Base. Senior Airman David Livingston died, while others suffered burns, broken bones, and shock. The images of the blast became a stark symbol of the Titan II program's dangers. The Damascus accident revealed serious weaknesses in missile maintenance and emergency safety protocols. It showed how a minor error could almost trigger a nuclear catastrophe and prompted the Air Force to review safety measures across the missile program. #USHistory #History #USA #America #Missiles #Defense

America's Worst School Tragedy: The Event that Stunned A Nation

On May 18, 1927, Bath Township, Michigan, became the site of one of the worst school massacres in history. The man responsible was Andrew Kehoe, a fifty-five-year-old farmer, electrician, and school board treasurer. Known for his mechanical skill and stern temperament, Kehoe was respected publicly but feared privately for his temper and control. Years of financial struggle and anger over rising taxes used to fund the new Bath Consolidated School pushed him over the edge. When foreclosure loomed over his farm, his bitterness turned into a detailed plan for revenge against his own community. Over several months, Kehoe began purchasing explosives under the pretense of clearing land. He bought dynamite from local hardware stores and pyrotol, a World War I surplus explosive, from a government outlet that sold it cheaply to farmers. Using his school access, he planted hundreds of pounds of dynamite and pyrotol beneath floors and in the basement, wiring them to clocks, batteries, and detonators to explode during classes. At home, Kehoe set another trap. He wired his barn and house with explosives, killed his wife, and set the property on fire. As neighbors ran to help, the first blast tore through the Bath Consolidated School at 8:45 a.m. The north wing disintegrated in a roar heard for miles. Parents raced toward the school, shouting their children’s names through smoke and debris. While rescuers searched for survivors, Kehoe drove up in a truck loaded with dynamite, gasoline, and scrap metal. He called the superintendent over, then detonated it, killing himself, the superintendent, and several others. In the ruins, investigators found another three hundred pounds of unexploded dynamite wired beneath the school’s south wing. In total, thirty-eight children and six adults died, and more than fifty were injured. The Bath School disaster remains one of the deadliest school attacks in American history. #History #USHistory #America #USA #HistoryNerd #Michigan

America’s First Serial Killers: The Harpe Brothers

In the chaotic years after the American Revolution, the frontier was lawless, and danger lurked behind every tree. Among its deadliest threats were the Harpe brothers, Micajah “Big Harpe” and Wiley “Little Harpe.” From the early 1790s until 1799, they terrorized Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Ohio Valley, becoming America’s first documented serial killers. Unlike ordinary thieves, they killed for pleasure. Travelers, farmers, and children alike vanished or were found mutilated. Witnesses recalled attacks carried out with rifles, knives, brute force, and bodies dumped in rivers or shallow graves. Families who showed them hospitality often paid with their lives. Investigators faced enormous challenges. Sheriffs patrolled vast territories with few deputies, relying on terrified settlers’ fragmented reports. Survivors recounted horrifying scenes: Big Harpe grinning as he stabbed a merchant in 1797, Little Harpe forcing a child to kneel before shooting him in 1798. Authorities tracked patterns in victim locations, repeated sightings along trails, and the brothers’ distinctive clothing, noting they often traveled with women and children. Wanted notices circulated and newspapers printed descriptions, sparking one of the earliest wide-scale manhunts in American history. The brothers’ unpredictability was chilling. They could appear courteous one moment, erupting into sudden, brutal violence the next. Patterns emerged: families slaughtered in cabins, lone riders gunned down on trails, infants killed for sport. Theft was rare, suggesting the murders were driven purely by sadistic thrill. Their reign ended in June 1799 when Big Harpe murdered the wife and infant of settler Moses Stegall. Stegall formed a posse, tracked Harpe through the Kentucky wilderness, and killed him himself. To send a warning, he decapitated Harpe and mounted the head on a stake by the road, leaving it there for weeks. Little Harpe initially escaped but was later captured and executed. #History #USA

Inside the Largest SWAT Hostage Rescue Operation in U.S. History The Good Guys electronic store siege in Sacramento remains one of the most significant hostage rescue missions ever carried out by a SWAT team. The incident began when four armed assailants stormed the store and seized 41 hostages. They demanded 4 million dollars, bulletproof vests, transportation, and safe passage out of the country. The captors fired inside the store, forced hostages to the windows, and repeatedly threatened to kill if their demands were not met. Tragically, three hostages were killed early in the standoff when the assailants opened fire after negotiators delayed meeting their demands, increasing pressure and fear among both hostages and officers. Negotiators worked tirelessly while SWAT teams used fiber optic probes, remote cameras, and thermal imaging to map the store’s interior. Over half of the layout offered no clear lines of sight, forcing officers to rely heavily on sound and heat signatures. When two additional hostages attempted to escape later in the siege and were shot, one fatally, command staff recognized the high risk of further casualties and authorized an immediate assault. SWAT executed a coordinated multi point breach using distraction devices that produced more than 170 decibels to disorient the captors. Officers moved swiftly through a room packed with over 30 civilians, many within feet of armed assailants. Three hostage takers were killed during the operation after firing at officers and attempting to use hostages as shields. The fourth assailant surrendered when cornered and was later sentenced to 49 consecutive life terms without the possibility of parole. In total, 40 surviving hostages were rescued, and the operation remains a key case study for its scale, precision, and the extraordinary coordination required to save lives under extreme pressure. #TrueCrime #History #America #USA #SWAT #USHistory #RescueStory
