Former MPD officer Michael Fanone: “Donald Trump pardoned…hundreds of violent criminals, criminals who assaulted police officers at the Capitol on Jan. 6…He pardoned them because he wants people to know that if you commit crimes on his behalf, he’s got your back.”

Thanks to everyone who complained about this trailer and even signed a petition to get #Armageddon removed from Netflix. You helped make it the most watched special in the world 😂

Today, we remember the courage of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy 80 years ago to defend freedom and defeat tyranny.

America deserves a president as good and steadfast as our nation, a president of character, driven by a noble purpose, one who honors the sacrifices of our troops. Not a man consumed by spite, revenge, and self-pity.

Why was there not a minute’s silence at Glastonbury to remember and honour all the young people who were brutally murdered, raped, tortured and kidnapped at the music festival in the Israeli desert on October 7th? Why did not one performer even mention this atrocity?

In 1943, Paul Newman enlisted in the Navy, joining the V-12 program to become a pilot. But when he was discovered to be colorblind, he was sent to basic training where he became a rear-seat radioman and gunner for torpedo bombers.

In May 1945, his unit was assigned to the aircraft carrier USS Bunker Hill. But the pilot developed an earache and another crew was sent in their place.

A few days later kamikaze planes attacked Bunker Hill, killing almost 400 onboard. "When you miss something like that because your pilot happened to have an earache..wow!" Paul recalled. "You can't say God is looking after you because He gave your pilot an earache but put the 15 other guys in coffins!"

@mlevenson @johnorloff …is it not about time A.J. Higgins had a Hollywood biopic?

[Michael Levenson @mlevenson]

“It just came over the horizon like a ghost,” he said. “There it was with original World War II paint and timbers and steel and in the position with the ramp down.” It was as if the boat had sunk while making a beach landing. https://t.co/mr3aI0YgpQ

The huge disappointment of asking “what’s for pudding?” and being told there’s a yoghurt in the fridge.

“We're all ghosts. We all carry, inside us, people who came before us.”

76 years ago today the Allies landed in my hometown of Gela as the invasion of Sicily began. I took this photo on that very same spot & brought the past to life.

@DapperHistorian Sometimes these ghosts show up…… Higgins LCVP 31-17 emerged out of a California lake last month. Assigned to USS Monrovia…. Used at Gela, invasion of Sicily.

@DapperHistorian It’s possible….

If you think America is more racist now than ever, more sexist than before women could vote and more homophobic than when blow jobs were a felony, you have #Progressophobia and you should adjust your mask because its covering your eyes. #BY

The sun came out for 7 minutes. People stood in the street, staring at it like it was Halley’s comet. Dogs howled, children wept.

A British person, unable to stand upright due to the gust, leaves and twigs smashing into their head, with eyebrows blown clean from their face and sore eyes watering with tears quickly whipped away by the gale, is unable to resist uttering:

“Bit windy”
