Watchdog group Public Citizen found that White House ballroom donors won more than $50 billion in government contracts after giving to the project. One of the authors of the report says, "the donations from these companies... are no gift, they're a grift."
82 years ago today, nearly 160,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, launching the liberation of Europe.
We are free because they were brave. 🇺🇸
82 years ago nearly all of the men on the first few boats that landed on the beach in Normandy were dead before days end.
Sit here with that for a while.
Look at them.
Really look at them.
Look into their eyes.
Many of them are boys, they are someone’s son, someone’s brother, someone’s sweetheart someone’s father.
They never came home.
And every privilege, every convenience, every freedom and every little thing that you want to bitch about you have because of them and they paid the ultimate price for you to have those freedoms. #dday #FreedomIsNeverFree
A few big picture things to consider as the first to fight get kitted up and prepare to jump into France in a few hours' time. This will help with my coverage today, tonight and tomorrow. You'll have to be up at 1.30 am on 6 June US time for first waves landing on the beaches. Here are the five phases to the operation. See below. The airborne drop, the first for most of the men, is already underway as C-47s and gliders are now being loaded. Almost every Allied commander is uncertain this will work.
D-Day is underway. Some would argue that what's happening right now is the most daring and ultimately successful operation in the history of military Alliances.
Note: the majority of troops are friends of the US from eight countries. Eisenhower has been told that three-quarters of the 23,400 airborne troops will be lost. He's hoping that the prediction will be wrong.
Goodbye to England. Many of the 73,000 US troops who will see action on D-Day, just 48 hours away, are now being ferried to troopships. Photo by the great Robert Capa. @WWIIMemorial
Call me old-fashioned, but I think it should be a bigger story that a sitting Republican member of Congress is missing, nobody knows where he is, yet he’s somehow still insider trading.
He can’t pronounce “hallowed” or “Massachusetts.” His speech is choppy and uncertain, unless he goes off on one of his riffs. He can’t hold his head steady.
He is not well.
Oh, for the love of…
When talking about the latest UFO distraction, some “expert” on tv just referred to “a man named Scott Carpenter in 1962…” as if he was just a random pilot and not THE Scott Carpenter, one of the Mercury 7 astronauts. JFC. 🤦🏻♀️
