General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

🚨🇬🇧 La policía ignoró a los inmigrantes que acosaban a una mujer en su casa y luego la amenazó con arrestarla por "odio racial" si denunciaba los hechos. Ahora, el hombre que lo expuso está esposado.

Una mujer fue acosada en su casa por inmigrantes. Acudió a la policía, pero no hicieron nada.

Cuando dijo que acudiría a la prensa, la amenazaron con arrestarla por "incitar al odio racial".

Un periodista ciudadano @ActivePatriotUK publicó información al respecto y fue arrestado por "comunicación maliciosa".

Lo retuvieron hasta las 11 de la noche, le confiscaron el teléfono y lo pusieron en libertad bajo fianza durante 3 meses con condiciones estrictas que no puede mencionar.

Esta es la realidad del Reino Unido hoy.

@DiPace4 @Julioac13 El desgobierno de Milei

[Roberto Cachanosky @RCachanosky]

Leí bien, @carod2015 El saldo fiscal es patear gasto para adelante (intereses de LECAPS que se devengan, rutas que no se mantienen, sueldos de médicos, fuerzas armadas y de seguridad que no son sostenibles en el tiempo y encima muy baja de impuestos).
Además, no evalúo al gobierno solo por temas económicos, la intolerancia y el atropello a las instituciones lo alejan de un gobierno limitado.
Pero respeto tu opinión. Son solo puntos de vista en un debate respetuoso

[Lucas Romero @LucaRomero]

Si Milei está dispuesto a asumir el papelón ya público de no firmar la designación de una jueza que logró acuerdo del Senado por ser cuñada de un periodista que investiga la corrupción de su gobierno, más dispuesto estará a enviar pliegos de jueces que prometan no investigarlo.

[Jack__Pierre 💛 @Jackes_is_back]

FRACASO TOTAL Y ABSOLUTO

¿Por qué?
Porque no es solo que suban el dólar y la inflación, SINO EL CONTEXTO Y EL COSTO.

Con Néstor Kirchner se dilapidó años de bonanza sojera en corrupción y planes, con Milei se dilapidarán el esfuerzo, la esperanza, el sacrificio forzado de millones de argentinos.

Lo primero ya era bastante malo, LO SEGUNDO ES PEOR.

Porque es el ajuste más grande de la historia SIN PLAN MÁS QUE AJUSTAR.

Porque no hay ideas para reinvertir en infraestructura, ni educación, simplemente porque n hay una idea de país ni mucho menos de república, solo busca cuadrar números en el Excel para inflarse el ego...y de paso robar a 4 manos.

El gobierno de Milei ya fracasó en su lucha contra la casta desde el día en que asumió con LA CASTA ADENTRO.

El gobierno de Milei ya fracasó en su batalla cultural porque no poseen ningún valor cultural qué ofrecer.

El gobierno de Milei ya fracasó en su plan económico, PORQUE NUNCA HUBO TAL COSA.

Solo están como plan B del peronismo massita, que no quería poner la cara para el ajuste que todos decían que era inevitable. Milei es el boludo útil que acomoda la caja para que vuelvan a robar.

Nada más.
Y hasta en eso, FRACASÓ.

[Roberto Cachanosky @RCachanosky]

@carod2015 @JMilei En serio crees que tienen superávit fiscal, que el tipo de cambio es libre, que no manipulan la tasa de interés, que no le pasan por arriba a las instituciones y que no tienen escándalos de corrupción?

[mavica @mavica7]

Banco de la Nación Argentina otorgó más de 1.100 créditos hipotecarios y millonarios a Personas Expuestas Políticamente (PEP), en su mayoría funcionarios y legisladores de La Libertad Avanza. El escándalo estalló mientras el Gobierno impulsaba la reconversión y ajuste de la entidad, generando fuertes críticas.
Los beneficiarios: Funcionarios de primera línea y directores de distintos organismos accedieron a préstamos hipotecarios que promediaron cifras de entre 200.000 y 500.000 dólares.

El descubrimiento de estos préstamos a funcionarios del actual oficialismo provocó un fuerte repudio, mientras el ciudadano común enfrenta severas restricciones de crédito.

Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.

I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.

That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.

I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.

[Hidden History @HiddenHistoryYT]

82 years ago today, eight American sailors jumped onto a sinking Nazi submarine in the middle of the Atlantic.

What they pulled out of it changed the war. And the Navy buried the whole story for years.

First, you need to know that U-505 was already cursed. German sailors called her the unluckiest boat in the fleet. In October 1943, during a brutal British depth-charge attack, her own captain shot himself in the head in the control room, in front of his crew. He remains the only submarine commander in history known to have killed himself underwater in combat. His second-in-command calmly took over, rode out the attack, and sailed her home.

Eight months later, her luck ran out completely.

June 4, 1944. Two days before D-Day. Captain Daniel Gallery's hunter-killer group, built around the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal, had been stalking U-boats off West Africa. Gallery had an idea his superiors considered borderline insane: don't sink the next one. Capture it. No US Navy crew had boarded and taken an enemy warship on the high seas since 1815.

The destroyer escort USS Chatelain caught U-505 on sonar and fired a salvo of hedgehog bombs. The U-boat broke the surface 700 yards away. Gunfire raked the conning tower, wounding her captain. He gave the order to abandon ship.

The Germans rushed out so fast they botched the scuttling. The sub was flooding, but her engines were still running. She was circling the battle at six knots, empty, sinking, and very possibly rigged with demolition charges.

So Lt. Albert David and eight men from USS Pillsbury chased her down in a whaleboat, leaped aboard, and climbed down the hatch into a dark, flooding submarine that could explode or go under at any second. They shut the scuttling valves, disarmed the charges, and stopped the flooding.

Down there they found the prize: Enigma cipher machines and roughly 900 pounds of codebooks and charts. Current settings. The keys to the German navy's secret communications.

But here's the catch. The treasure was only valuable if Germany never found out. One leak and Berlin changes every code overnight.

So the Navy ran one of the great cover-ups of the war. The sub was towed 1,700 miles to Bermuda and given a fake American name: USS Nemo. Around 3,000 sailors were sworn to total silence. The 58 captured German crewmen vanished into a POW camp in rural Louisiana, hidden even from the Red Cross. Germany declared U-505 lost with all hands and notified the families. The dead men were alive in Louisiana, and their boat was working for the US Navy.

The secret held until the war ended.

Lt. David received the Medal of Honor, the only one awarded in the Atlantic Fleet in all of WWII.

And the submarine? In 1954, Chicagoans raised $250,000 to bring her home. She was towed across Lake Michigan and dragged through the streets of Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry.

She's still sitting there right now. You can walk through her.

[Voices of WW2 @VoicesofWW2]

84 years ago today, a pilot running out of fuel made a decision that won the Pacific War. Most Americans have never heard his name.

June 4, 1942. Six months after Pearl Harbor, Japan's navy is undefeated. Four of the carriers that burned Pearl, Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, and Hiryu, are steaming toward Midway to finish off the US Pacific Fleet.

At 7:52 AM, Wade McClusky launches from USS Enterprise leading 32 Dauntless dive bombers. Here's the detail nobody mentions: McClusky is a fighter pilot. He'd been given the air group weeks earlier and had barely flown a dive bomber in combat. Now he's leading every SBD the Enterprise has at the most important target in the Pacific.

9:20 AM. He arrives at the intercept point where the Japanese fleet is supposed to be.

Empty ocean. Nothing for miles.

The Japanese had turned. Nobody knew where. And now McClusky owns the worst math problem in naval aviation: his fuel is bleeding away, and every minute he keeps searching, he condemns more of his own pilots to ditch in open water where nobody will find them.

Doctrine is clear. Turn back.

McClusky keeps going. He works a search pattern, squeezing miles out of dying fuel tanks.

9:55 AM. Far below, a single Japanese destroyer is cutting a white scar across the ocean at flank speed. It's the Arashi, racing to rejoin the fleet after depth-charging the American submarine Nautilus. Think about that. A failed sub attack is about to give away the entire Japanese navy.

McClusky reads the wake like an arrow and follows it.

10:02 AM. The horizon fills with the entire Japanese strike force. Four carriers, their decks crammed with planes being refueled and rearmed. Fuel lines snaking everywhere. Bombs stacked in the open.

And here's the miracle: the sky above them is empty. Minutes earlier, American torpedo squadrons had attacked at sea level and been annihilated. Torpedo 8 lost all 15 planes. One survivor, Ensign George Gay, watched what came next while hiding under his seat cushion in the water. Those doomed pilots dragged every Japanese fighter down to the waves. The door upstairs was wide open.

10:22 AM. McClusky pushes over from 14,500 feet. Both squadrons follow him down onto Kaga. It's actually a mistake, doctrine said split the targets, but Lt. Dick Best catches it mid-dive, pulls out with two wingmen, and goes after Akagi alone. His single bomb pierces the flight deck into the packed hangar. It's enough.

By 10:28, Kaga, Akagi, and Soryu, the third hit simultaneously by Yorktown's bombers, are floating infernos. Six minutes. Three carriers that attacked Pearl Harbor, gone. Hiryu follows them to the bottom that evening.

The cost of McClusky's gamble was real. Many Enterprise bombers never made it home, some shot down, others swallowed by the sea when their tanks ran dry. McClusky himself was jumped by two Zeros on the way out, took five bullets through his shoulder, and still flew his shot-up Dauntless back to the Enterprise.

Admiral Nimitz said McClusky's decision "decided the fate of our carrier task force and our forces at Midway." Japan never won another major battle.

One borrowed pilot. One destroyer's wake. One choice to keep flying when every gauge said go home.
