Genetic modification of crops allows for more precision than traditional selective breeding processes. GMOs saved Hawaii’s papaya crops from being wiped out by a virus. It created corn that is resistant to pests. It’s even given us apples that don’t brown.

🇺🇸 Using Starlink, American Kelsey Pfendler Broke 4 Records Rowing Solo from California to Hawaii 🇺🇸 On America’s 250th birthday, Kelsey Pfendler, an American woman and Grand Canyon raft guide, turned an audacious dream into history. During training, she was already doing “homework for my Starlink,” preparing the American-made satellite internet system that would keep her connected while rowing 2,400 miles solo and unsupported from Monterey, California to Oahu, Hawaii. On May 21, 2026, she launched alone in her 24-foot boat Lily. Forty-three days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes later (in the early hours of July 4, 2026) she crossed the finish line and shattered four major records: • Fastest solo row from California to Hawaii (overall) • Fastest woman ever • First American woman to complete the Mid-Pacific solo crossing • Youngest person ever to achieve the feat Starlink made it possible. As Elon Musk has said, “Starlink is designed to provide high-speed internet to places where it’s either impossible or extremely expensive to do so with traditional methods.” The high-speed satellite connection turned her small boat into a connected command center. It allowed real-time WhatsApp interviews, daily video updates posted straight from the Pacific, coordination with her shore team, and a constant lifeline that kept millions following her journey. Without it, the world would have waited in silence until she landed. Her achievement landed on the perfect day. As America celebrated 250 years of independence and innovation, one of its own used American technology to push the boundaries of human endurance. Along the way, she raised more than $30,000 for the Whale Foundation, supporting mental and physical health resources for river guides. Kelsey Pfendler proved that American grit, paired with American innovation, can still conquer the impossible! Happy 250th, America. 🌊🚣‍♀️🇺🇸

She was the highest ranking Vietnamese American woman ever to command an operational brigade in the U.S. Army. Her name is Danielle Ngo. It was April 29, 1975. The day before Saigon fell. Her mother, Thai-An, just 24 years old, carried Danielle and her baby sister Lan-Dinh up the ramp of a U.S. military cargo plane as North Vietnamese rockets rained down on Tan Son Nhat airport. Soldiers were pushing equipment off the back of the aircraft to make room for refugees. They were among the last people to make it out of that airport. Her father was not on that plane. He was a captain in the South Vietnamese army and he stayed behind to keep fighting as his wife and two small daughters fled. It would be years before he made it to America and saw his family again. A week earlier, the South Vietnamese government had restricted travel. Danielle was in the seaside town of Vung Tau, away from her mother. Her grandfather refused to let the family be separated with the country collapsing around them. So he took eight buses and scooters across a war zone to bring the three-year-old back to her mother's arms. And when the moment came to say goodbye, knowing he could not go with them, her grandfather knelt down, folded a U.S. one-dollar bill, and tucked it into her little shirt pocket. It is the only thing she remembers from the day she became a refugee. The plane landed on Wake Island, a speck in the Pacific 2,300 miles from Hawaii. They spent three months there in a refugee camp, waiting to learn if any country would take them. America did. After camps in Hawaii and Arkansas, an uncle sponsored them, and the family finally settled in Massachusetts. They lived in subsidized housing for eight years. Danielle and Lan-Dinh were the only Vietnamese girls in their school. Their mother worked her way through an associate's, a bachelor's, and a master's degree, and insisted the children speak only English at home so she could learn it through them. When Danielle was seventeen, she asked her mother to sign her enlistment papers so she could join the Army Reserve. Her mother resisted with a sentence only a refugee mother could say: "I didn't pull you out of a war for you to go back into a war." But Danielle had already decided. As she put it: "I signed up for the Army because my mother said it was the Army that rescued us." The Army had carried her out of Saigon. She was going to give it her life in return. She enlisted in 1990 and earned her degree from UMass and her commission from Boston University in 1994, choosing one of the hardest, most male-dominated paths in the force: combat engineering. She didn't want the safer assignments. She wanted airborne. She wanted combat units. In 2001, she became the first female company commander in a combat engineer battalion attached directly to a combat brigade. She deployed to Bosnia. To Iraq, where her brigade was part of the 4th Infantry Division during the operations that captured Saddam Hussein. To Afghanistan to help plan the surge. She commanded the 52nd Engineer Battalion at Fort Carson, whose soldiers cut fire lines through the Waldo Canyon and Black Forest wildfires, two of the most destructive in Colorado history. "I guess you could call us the natural disaster battalion," she said. In 2016, she took command of the 130th Engineer Brigade in Hawaii, becoming the highest-ranking woman of Vietnamese descent ever to command an operational brigade in the U.S. Army. By 2021, the Army described her as the highest-ranking active-duty woman of Vietnamese descent in the entire force, second only to Major General Viet Xuan Luong. She retired in April 2023, after 33 years. She went back to Vietnam years later and found her grandfather, the man who took eight buses and gave her a dollar. They could barely speak, her Vietnamese had faded, his English was thin, so they sat in his little art shop and passed handwritten notes back and forth.

🇺🇸🇯🇵🇰🇷⚔️🇨🇳🇰🇵🧵 HOW THE UNITED STATES TURNED JAPAN AND SOUTH KOREA INTO IMPERIAL COLONIES AS PART OF ITS COLD WAR AGAINST CHINA AND THE DPRK American policy in the Asia-Pacific has always been centered in building up Japan’s industry and leveraging Tokyo’s power at the expense of the economic independence of other country’s in the region. This doctrine goes all the way back to the early 20th century as Theodore Roosevelt committed the United States to the establishment of a global empire and JP Morgan created a monopoly over large sectors of the American economy in the aftermath of the Panic of 1907. The Meiji Restoration, which established the Empire of Japan, brought industrialization and modernization to the Japanese economy. However, this was mostly done on the backs of foreign loans and had been a continuation of work already theorized in China under Sun Yat Sen, whose Three Principles (Nationalism, Democracy, People’s Livelihood) inspire Chinese socialism today and were based on the state-led economic frameworks of Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln. Sun himself was educated in Hawaii by protégés of Lincoln. And it ultimately led to this notion among leaders in Tokyo that Japan is now becoming a partner of the Anglo-American Empire. A major reason why this was is because Theodore Roosevelt agreed in the Taft-Katsura Agreement that the United States would give Japan control over the Korean Peninsula if they did not interfere with Washington’s violent seizure of the Philippines. However, what Tokyo didn’t notice at first is that they were not becoming a regional empire but a proxy of American imperialism. From there, the groundwork was set for Japan’s wars of mass genocide against the people of China, Korea, Russia and across the Asian continent. After its war with Russia in 1905, Tokyo fully annexed Korea in 1910, which would then be used as a launching pad for their wars against China. The Japanese previously launched a failed war against China in 1894, after which European colonial empires set up spheres of influence as part of the Century of Humiliation. And then in 1931 and 1937, as a result of false flag incidents staged by the Japanese Kwantung Army along the South Manchuria Railway in Mukden and the Marco Polo Bridge near Beijing, Japan launched the Asia-Pacific Theatre of World War II waging mass genocide and engaging in sexual exploitation against the people of China, Korea and across Asia. Unit 731 was established in Manchuria under the command of Dr. Shiro Ishii and with the approval of the puppet dictatorship in Japanese-occupied Manchuria led by former Emperor of the Qing Dynasty Puyi. 731 carried out some of the most cruel and tortuous human experimentations against civilian victims, including infecting prisoners with deadly diseases and amputating their limbs, conducting vivisection and organ harvesting, suffocating victims and hypobaric chambers and exposing prisoners to chemical, explosive and biological weapons. Even more outrageous is the fact that Ishii escaped prosecution after the US granted him immunity in exchange for research from Unit 731. And some of that research was used by the CIA for Project MKUltra.
