He was cut by frost, burned by sun, and carried more scars than most men could count. In the 1830s, William “Buckskin Bill” West rode the untamed frontier, a scout and trader who lived where maps ended. Born among the wild valleys of Kentucky, he grew restless for the unknown and followed the call of the West. By the time he reached the high plains of Colorado, he knew the land better than most surveyors ever would. Rivers, canyons, wind patterns—he read them like scripture. Settlers trusted his word more than their compasses, for Buckskin Bill never lost a trail, even when the snow swallowed the mountains whole.Through winters that froze men to their saddles, he guided wagon trains across Wyoming’s deadly passes, his voice steady, his eyes sharp with the instinct of survival. When storms rolled in, he became the difference between life and death—finding shelter in gulches, firewood where none seemed to grow, water in dust-choked valleys. Travelers spoke of him as half legend, half savior, a man who knew how to tame both land and fate. They said he could smell snow a day before it fell and find the North Star with his eyes closed.By the 1880s, his hair had silvered and his steps slowed, but the wild never released him. He settled near the foothills of the Rockies, where the wind still carried the echo of wagon wheels and distant gunfire. Those who passed by his cabin spoke of an old man with eyes like the horizon—endless, knowing, and worn. William “Buckskin Bill” West never sought fame, only the open trail, and though his name faded in history’s dust, the lives he saved remain his truest monument.

Fascination character and he sacrificed immeasurably for doing what he thought was the right thing. In my view, John Kiriakou is a legend and a hero. He's written a few books about the dark side of the intel world. “ReluctantSpy” is his latest and it is compelling.

More from the files of, “Earthings Helping Earthlings.”Five miles off the coast of Sri Lanka, sailors witnessed something almost surreal: an elephant fighting for its life in the open sea. The animal had slipped while crossing a lagoon—part of its usual migratory route—and been swept far from shore. Now, exhausted and alone, it struggled against the relentless pull of the ocean.The sailors immediately radioed the Sri Lankan navy. Within moments, rescue boats and divers were racing toward the drifting giant, determined to attempt what seemed impossible.As they approached, the elephant’s distress was unmistakable. Each wave threatened to pull it under. But the rescuers refused to give up. Working with extraordinary care, they looped ropes around its massive body and began the slow, punishing tow back toward land—a mission that stretched on for twelve relentless hours.Still, the elephant kept paddling.Finally, the sea floor rose beneath it. The moment its feet touched ground, the elephant heaved itself upright, released a triumphant trumpet, and began its steady walk toward the forest. The rescue team watched in silence as it disappeared among the trees.For those who were there, the operation became more than a rescue. It was a reminder that compassion can bridge even the widest distances. Survival isn’t only about strength—it’s about the hands that refuse to let go.On that day in the Indian Ocean, courage and empathy carried a weary traveler safely home.

“Bastiat proves beyond all doubt that the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens, but not to provide for them.”“For in order to provide for some, first it must take from others, becoming the mechanism for legalized plunder.”https://x.com/rothmus/status/2011852411011289579?s=61

“So empathy is an emotion that has evolved for very clear evolutionary reasons. Just like any of our other emotions, for example, envy, there are evolutionary reasons why we’ve evolved the emotion of envy. It can compel us forward. I see that Joe’s doing well, keeping up with the Joneses, maybe it’ll get me off my fat ass so I can work harder. So there are very clear evolutionary reasons why empathy exists, but the problem is when empathy misfires, it either becomes hyperactive or directs empathy to the wrong person.”- Gad Saad
