Thank you to all who fought and sacrificed in freedoms defense all those years ago. Incredible footage here. Blessed that both my uncles survived and will never forget the over 400,000 who did not come home.

[John Kennedy @SenJohnKennedy]

82 years ago, the heroes of D-Day stormed Normandy and showed the world what freedom costs.

They looked tyranny in the eye and did not blink. They helped save the free world.

We can never repay them—but we will always remember their courage, sacrifice and love of country.

[Rodney Smith Jr @iamrodneysmith]

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.

More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸

August 1994, Ronald Wilson Reagan, after 12 months of tests, was diagnosed with Alzheimers. Three months later, Reagan issued a statement to the country explaining his condition, ending his letter with the words, “I now begin the journey that will lead me into the sunset of my life. I know that for America there will always be a bright dawn ahead.” Ten years later, his ride into the sunset came to pass. Saturday afternoon, June 5, 2004, after ten years of slow deterioration, Reagan, lying in a bed in his home office turned bedroom, was nearing the end. His wife Nancy, his son, Ron. Jr, and his daughter, Patti, were summoned to his bedside. Patti held his hand, Ron Jr. placed his hand on his father's left knee, and Nancy sat near her husband's head. Moments before he passed, Reagan lifted his head off his pillow, turned his head toward Nancy, and trained his eyes on her face. Nancy, pushing back emotion, spoke in a soft voice, “I love you, honey. I love you.” Reagan lowered his head to his pillow and passed away. CoD: aspiration pneumonia.

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.

[Geraldo Rivera @GeraldoRivera]

John Roberts gets it right. Viewing myself as the show’s biggest star-in 1985 I boldly accused my boss ABCNews chief Roone Arledge of killing a colleague’s 20/20 piece on the Kennedys because of his personal connection to them. He fired me the next day. The show survived my exit.

[John Roberts @johnrobertsFox]

Filling in for @BretBaier on @SpecialReport tonight. @brithume weighs in on the recent turmoil at @CBSNews

Three things I have learned in my life.
1) no employee is bigger than the corporation
2) we are all just 'penciled in'
3) the graveyards of America are filled with people who 'couldn't be replaced'

Following West Virginia’s walk-off home run victory over Kentucky, the entire stadium erupted into a singalong of Country Roads.

Perhaps the greatest Olympic champion ever produced by the United States. How did he do it? Donuts.

Best summer ever!

[Ed Morrissey @EdMorrissey]

@CSquieri414 I still remember singing "Oh Sandy" to the soundtrack at your party that summer, and everyone cracking up. Good times, good times. Warped times? Maybe. ;-) cc: @LizMair

I just learned a new definition of ok. #OneOfTheCousins

[Ed Morrissey @EdMorrissey]

@LizMair @emzanotti My cousins and I spent all summer in 1978 watching it at the theater and singing along to the soundtrack, when we were 15 and 16, and we turned out OK.

Mostly.

[The Adam Carolla Show @AdamCarollaShow]

Congrats to @adamcarolla on getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! ⭐️

GET IT ON!

[Cristina Squieri @CSquieri414]

@EdMorrissey Ok — that made me cackle out loud. Now I need to find a cane to wave in the air.

[Kyrsten Sinema @kyrstensinema]

I remember when @TulsiGabbard met Abraham - her whole face lit up the first time she told me about him. I knew he was her true love. Abe’s been her rock for over 11 years; now she will be his rock as he fights & defeats bone cancer. Sending you both love and strength. 💙

Two simple Truths:

Jesus Christ died for our sins.

America’s fallen died for our freedom.

May we live worthy.

[Kirk Herbstreit @KirkHerbstreit]

I have 4 four boys — 25-25-23-19.

Today I’m thinking about the young men and women their age who gave everything for this country.

Puts it all in perspective.

Grateful. 🇺🇸

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Memorial Day isn’t about barbecues or beach days—it’s about those American heroes who gave everything for our freedom.

THIS 70-SECOND VIDEO CAPTURES WHAT THE DAY IS TRULY ABOUT. 🇺🇸

You need to read it to appreciate, “All this will do is redistribute As to A-minuses on an industrial level.”

Nightly roundup is always a favorite of mine. At least one chuckle is guaranteed and you might get a cackle out loud.
