Imagine running for US Senate against @GrassleyWorks, having Iowans reject you by 13 points… then writing this to your “hometown paper” because they didn’t vote for you. Additionally, we know you live in Virginia you arrogant wannabe elitist @FrankenforIowa#IASEN
Wallen said on social media his team worked with city officials.... Mayor O'Connor says they didn't know anything about the show being cancelled. https://t.co/jNAqCyL9mN

🚨 D-Day photos by Robert Capa June 6, 1944.
He landed with the first assault waves on Omaha Beach. Under heavy fire, he shot 106 frames. All but 11 were destroyed in a London darkroom accident.
The surviving images became known as the Magnificent Eleven.
Never Forget 🇺🇸
Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach
On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:
The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.
He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.
After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.
Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.
He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.
When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”
Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.
"Good luck! And let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking."

Evening of June 5, 1944.
Share this tonight -- so people can remember that so much of what they enjoy today is in large part because of what happened 82 years ago tomorrow.

This striking photo made in Jasper County, Iowa, in 1940 captures an important moment in American agricultural history.
Side by side, a horse and a McCormick-Deering Farmall tractor illustrate the transition from centuries of animal-powered farming to the age of mechanization.
Tractors were spreading across rural America, transforming agriculture by increasing productivity and reducing labor.
But most farmers still used horses in their daily work.
Pictures like this capture a rare moment when two generations of farming shared the same fields for a brief time before machines took over.
First call this past Tuesday morning was from @PatMcAfeeShow! Was 🔥 up after watching @WVUBaseball win the regional. Wanted to come to supers. Requested to be “with the people” to “soak it in.” Love Pat’s passion for WVU, our state and those “Country Roads” 🫡
Eager to join @TexasGOP with these incredible patriots next week!
If you haven’t yet, make sure to get registered. More information can be found below.
See you in Houston!

Why is Pam Evette so terrified to answer questions? Pam Evette skipped all but one debate. She debated less than every single other candidate for Governor. Now she's gearing up to skip a runoff debate. What is she hiding?
Here is a washed up politician who needed the help of a lactation consultant (god bless them btw) who was good enough to come to Abby’s house and help her UNTIL she found out they were probably a Republican. This is the tolerate left and why Abby is a loser.
First time I heard of Zach Lahn (IA GOP gov nominee) was exactly 7 weeks ago when I had a lactation consultant home visit. We told her how we had to get reverse osmosis in our new to us house in Des Moines, Iowa because of high nitrates test. (Way over the EPA limit)
@PamelaEvette@realDonaldTrump Why did you cut off the bottom part of the post? Is Henry McMaster Jr. your running mate: yes or no?
