Neerja Bhanot was a 22 year old flight attendant on a hijacked plane, Pan Am Flight 73 on 5 September 1986 during a stopover The terrorists demanded her to collect the passports of all the passengers, intending to identify the Americans among them. Recognizing the danger this posed, she and her fellow attendants under her charge hid the passports of the American passengers, some under seats and others down a garbage chute, making it difficult for the hijackers to distinguish between nationalities. As the hijacking stretched on for 17 hours the terrorists eventually resorted to violence by opening fire and setting off explosives. Neerja opened one of the airplane doors, and even though she could have been the first one to escape from the aircraft, she did not do so and instead started helping the other passengers and unaccompanied children. That is when she was caught and her courage was met with extreme cruelty. She was killed. Neerja's actions saved many lives. In addition to saving the lives of many hostages, Neerja Bhanot also helped prevent the plane from getting off the ground A young child on board, who was just seven years old at the time, grew up to become a captain for a major airline. He credits Neerja as his inspiration, acknowledging that he owes every day of his life to her

On July 5th, 1947 Larry Doby became the 1st black player in the American League when he pinch hit in Chicago for the Cleveland Indians. He never gets the respect he deserves- His #14 should be retired across baseball, @MLB 👀 #DobyDay #ForTheLand

Lonnie Johnson, a Black scientist employed at NASA in the early 1980s, was engaged in a project related to jet pumps. In a fortuitous accident, he inadvertently directed a stream of water across the room, sparking a brilliant idea for an innovative water gun. This led to the creation of the immensely popular Super Soaker. To assess the viability of his creation, Johnson conducted an initial evaluation, comprising himself and his seven-year-old daughter. Her exuberant delight provided unequivocal confirmation that the water gun possessed immense potential. Subsequently, from the early 1990s onwards, the Super Soaker became a ubiquitous source of summer amusement for children throughout the United States. Moreover, this invention propelled Lonnie Johnson into the ranks of multimillionaires.

“And nobody wins a goddamn thing, go get your dog castrated, see you motherfuckers tomorrow.”

Just as they did during the Iraq War, America’s jingoistic press outlets bear a major responsibility for this unnecessary war that has ravaged Ukraine and killed some 315,000 Ukrainians. Rather than seeking to contextualize events properly for their readers, the U.S. media systematically deceived Americans about the causes and course of the war while faithfully parroting the Neocon propaganda narrative.

Unserious country full of unserious people.

March Madness was fire this year, especially for the female athletes, but the fact that a gesture from a college basketball game has dominated the national discourse for the last 24+ hours & even reached the White House lets you know how unserious of a country this is.

Our state run media tells us Russia is losing against Ukraine but all over the world countries are lining up to join BRICS. Saudi Arabia is open to taking Yuan and other currencies for oil. Death of the “petro dollar”? What do these nations know? You don’t join the losing team.

NEW: Saudi Arabia has inked an 80 billion yuan deal with China to build a Chinese oil refinery. Are you paying attention yet? Our adversaries are teaming up. China is loading up on gold. China and Russia have penned their alliance. China has mediated a peace deal between Iran and Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is considering accepting the Yuan instead of the U.S. dollar. Our adversaries want to crash our economy and the U.S. dollar is on the path to lose its world reserve currency status. All this in just 2 years of a Joe Biden presidency. Buckle up.

Have you ever wondered to yourself “what it would be like if all of the presidents had that creepy Benjamin Button disease?” No? Well, here’s another list of ai presidents you didn’t ask for, the presidents as elderly babies. 1. George Washington
