Senior Title Communication Specialist @ Rocket Morgage - Purchase and Refinance Title Review, Communication, and Underwriting
A worthy read on Marine Corps history.
From 20-23 November 1943 the Battle of Tarawa was waged. This pivotal island in the South Pacific marked the Marines first (seriously) opposed landing in the Pacific theater. On 21 November the Marines sustained casualty rates unfathomable in today’s era as they fought their way across the reef. The Japanese stated that it would take “one million men a hundred years to take the island.” In 76 hours the objective was complete. Today we paid homage to this era as we celebrated “Tarawa Day.” It’s a legacy to be proud of and a reason to always put one foot before the other - no matter the obstacle or opposition. #marines #history #legacy

YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS HE SAID IT NO MATTER HOW MUCH HE SAYS "FAKE NEWS"! Welcome to the Ultimate Showdown: Conning Conundrum Syndrome vs. Trump Derangement Syndrome! In one corner, we have... Conning Conundrum Syndrome (CCS)! - Symptoms: Unshakable loyalty, denial reflex, and the blame game shuffle. Victims insist they haven't been conned by Trump and Putin, despite overwhelming evidence that could make a blindfolded jury shout "Guilty!" And in the other corner, we have... Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS)! - Symptoms: Uncontrollable eye-rolling at the mention of Trump, spontaneous fits of fact-checking, and an intense urge to debunk every tweet. Accused sufferers vehemently oppose Trump, sometimes with a fervor that rivals a sports fan during the playoffs. CCS - "Conning Conundrum Syndrome" is like having a GPS that stubbornly refuses to recalibrate. You're headed for a cliff, but it keeps saying, "Turn right in 100 feet." You’re convinced the destination is glorious, but spoiler alert: it’s a steep drop into reality. TDS - "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is like having a highly sensitive radar that detects every single Trump-related blip, no matter how small. You’re hyper-aware of every move, comment, and typo, often resulting in high blood pressure and a sudden urge to tweet. Denial vs. Obsession - CCS: "No way, Trump’s perfect!" - TDS: "No way, Trump’s terrible!" Blame Game vs. Blame Flame - CCS: "What about those emails?" - TDS: "What about that tax return?" Loyalty vs. Paranoia - CCS: "Trump could do no wrong." - TDS: "Trump can do no right." The Hilarious Hypocrisy: - CCS sufferers are like fans at a magic show, utterly convinced that the magician’s tricks are real, while TDS sufferers are the skeptics yelling, "I see the wires!" - CCS Remedy: "Come on, admitting you've been conned isn't that bad. Think of it like realizing the magician pulls rabbits out of hats, not thin air." - TDS Remedy: "Hey, take a breath. Sometimes it’s okay to let a tweet pass by without a full investigation. Not every blip is a bombshell." In the grand scheme of things, both CCS and TDS could use a little bit of perspective, a dash of humor, and a lot less stress. After all, life’s too short to be stuck in a syndrome, right? So, whether you’re staunchly defending or constantly critiquing, remember to laugh along the way. Because in the end, we’re all just trying to navigate this crazy world, one conundrum at a time.
Creating opportunities for people to achieve their mission towards a sustainably healthy planet
On the anniversary of D-Day, it is worth thinking about what we will do with the freedom earned by those who served their countries. My father-in-law put his life on the line at Normandy and beyond. It would be dishonourable of me to ignore the sacrifices made in that war against tyranny, dictators and their ilk being pushed forward by the narcissistic overly rich today. Best represented by their poster child who called veterans "losers" and "suckers". https://lnkd.in/g3KjVHnK

The American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was intially a rebellion carried out by the Thirteen Colonies of British America against Great Britain, sparked by the issue of taxation without representation. It soon blossomed into a War of Independence, resulting in the birth of the United States of America. The outcome of the war was largely influenced by the generals who conducted it. This collection looks at the lives and times of 15 military leaders of the American Revolution, including figures from the American, French, and British armies. It is by no means a comprehensive list, but contains many of the most significant figures of the conflict, detailing their campaigns and battles, victories and defeats, rises and downfalls. Of these 15 officers and generals, some perservered through the sheer forcefulness of their personalities, overcoming all obstacles to achieve victory and acclaim. Others had their reputations and careers destroyed by their roles in the war, and spent the rest of their lives trying to shift the blame to others. Some of these men ended up as presidents or great statesmen, while others ended up destitute and forgotten. All of them played significant roles in the birth of the United States, and any student of the American Revolution should become acquainted with them in order to have a better understanding of the topic. #AmericanRevolution #ContinentalArmy #MilitaryHistory #History #WHE
