Eighty-two years ago, Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy. Among them were the Bedford Boys — 44 men from a small Virginia town of just 3,200 people. Nineteen were killed within the first nine minutes, without ever firing a shot, giving Bedford the highest per capita D-Day loss in the nation.

They gave up their tomorrows for our today. Never Forget the Bedford Boys and all Americans who gave their lives to liberate the world from tyranny and secure the freedoms we cherish as Americans 🇺🇸

In June of 2022, gas prices averaged over $5 a gallon, inflation was 9.1%, the murder rate was 6.3 per 100k & S&P 500 was 3675. Four years later gas is cheaper, inflation is roughly 3%, the murder rate is 4.0 per 100k, & the S&P 500 is 7600, more than double four years ago.

I really don’t understand the hate Jaxon Dart got for introducing President Trump. Good or bad..if you support Trump or not..you're in a lose lose situation. Politics and religion are difficult for sports. Folks have the right to believe in whatever the fuck they want.

I don't know..I just live by a code..As long as it's not interfering with my shit..do whatever you want because you've got to take whatever you're on up with God. I'm too much of a sinner to be judgmental and political.

🚨New: Ronnie Reel, who Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano’s office let walk free on a plea deal after confessing to sexually abusing an 11-year-old boy, is now charged with abducting a minor.

Last week, we reported how a 17-year-old girl was missing and was last seen with Reel, a convicted felon. On Friday, Prince William County police found the girl and Reel.

"Nothing says, I want attention more than disparaging a national hero who's also dead."

Taya Kyle is unloading on Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner after he accused her late husband, 'American Sniper' Chris Kyle, of inflating his kill count by shooting innocent civilians.

Kyle called the comments "cowardly" and a "cheap political trick," saying Platner is trying to build notoriety by attacking someone "beloved" who can no longer defend himself.

"For me he would be out of the running immediately," she added.

Abigail Spanberger during Biden admin: “The question related to ‘why doesn’t Biden just shut down the border?’ It’s because there’s actually no legal authority to do so.”

“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.”

98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war.

Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.

“Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”

"Completely barbaric."

Former Navy SEAL Rob O'Neill, the man who is credited with killing Osama bin Laden, ripped Graham Platner for the Senate hopeful's controversial post trashing a soldier who was wounded in a clash with Taliban fighters.

In a 2019 Reddit post, Platner said of the soldier: "Dumb motherf----- didn't deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a-- wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban's part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible s--- decision possible when it comes to small unit combat."

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!

Panic is ensuing in Fredericksburg, VA after a man in a PINK PANTHER COSTUME tried to abduct MULTIPLE CHILDREN from a school bus stop in BROAD DAYLIGHT!

Four kids got off of a bus where a man in a pink costume was waiting across the street.

When the bus drove away, he crossed the street and started CHASING all four kids and GRABBED the smallest girl.

Her sister pulled her free and then a passing car scared him off.

The kids saw his face through a tear in the costume and they believe him to be a male with facial hair, and a tan complexion.

ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING!!!
