From a hospital bed, facing the fight of his life, Deputy Yates Rodney delivered a message that reminded all of us what courage truly looks like.

Just days ago, Deputy Rodney was shot in the line of duty by a suspect armed with an AK-47. The attack left him severely injured, but it did not take away his determination, his faith, or his warrior spirit.

In a special message from his hospital room, Yates didn’t focus on his pain. He didn’t dwell on what had happened. Instead, he looked forward.

With quiet strength and unwavering resolve, Deputy Rodney shared a message that has touched hearts across the nation:

“I’m going to make everybody proud.”

Those six words say everything about the man behind the badge.

Even while facing an uncertain road to recovery, Deputy Rodney’s focus remains on his family, his brothers and sisters in law enforcement, and the community that has rallied around him. His courage in the face of adversity serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made every day by those who wear the badge.

The Wounded Blue is standing shoulder to shoulder with Deputy Rodney, his family, and the Covington County Sheriff’s Office as they navigate the difficult days ahead. We remain committed to ensuring that this hero and his loved ones receive the support they deserve.

Please continue to keep Deputy Rodney in your thoughts and prayers. Send your encouragement. Stand with his family. And never forget that heroes are not defined by what happens to them, but by how they respond.

Deputy Yates Rodney has already made us proud.

And his fight is just beginning.

David Sacks just delivered an economics masterclass on Elon becoming the world’s first trillionaire.

David Sacks: “People see the headline and imagine Elon suddenly has a trillion dollars in the bank. That’s not how it works. His balance sheet didn’t change overnight.”

Why?

The real point is deeper. Wealth isn’t in the “stuff” we consume. Food, shelter, clothes. Things that depreciate and disappear. It’s in the machines that create stuff for decades: tools, workflows, and corporations.
These are the true engines of human progress.

“If you create a machine that makes more stuff, then there’s a discounted present value for all the stuff in the future that machine might create. That’s where the wealth comes from.”

Elon started with nothing. An immigrant who slept on the floor building Zip2. He created these machines from vision and relentless effort. Thousands joined him, including a SpaceX welder who turned his labor into a million dollars in stock.

That’s the magic of tech and free markets: labor can become capital. It’s fluid.

The outrage misses this entirely. The people building machines that deliver medicines, energy, and abundance are creating lasting prosperity for everyone.

What do you think? Does viewing wealth as future productivity change how you see stories like this?
