My heart breaks for everything these men, with many still being boys, sacrificed, not just our Country but others as well. Thousands were killed fighting for our freedoms and yet decades of weak politicians, have left those few remaining wondering, was it worth the loss 😞 🫡

DISGUSTING! Missouri Senator JOSH HAWLEY Gavels in Pro-Forma Session to Block Trump from Making Recess Appointments | Jim Hoft, The Gateway Pundit

Doing the bidding of his globalist masters.

Missouri is widely known as the “Show-me State” by locals and outsiders. The people of Missouri are not easily persuaded by words alone and prefer proof or demonstration before accepting the fancy talk or claims of others.

This past week Senator Josh Hawley showed Missourians where is real allegiance lies. It’s definitely not with President Trump! It’s with his RINO Senate overlords.

On Tuesday, May 26th, the day after Memorial Day, Josh Hawley presided over a brief pro forma Senate session. The procedural move of gaveling in session the Senate and then quickly gaveling out the session prevents President Trump from making recess appointments.

Josh Hawley does not trust the president or his voters.

Josh knows better.

He is the latest snake to show his true colors.

Unfortunately, this stunt by Hawley to impress John Thune and Mitch McConnell did not gain much media attention.

That’s why we are reporting this here at The Gateway Pundit today.

Shame on you, Josh Hawley!

If nothing else, we're realizing that Graham Platner's whole "shucks I'm working-class oysterman" spiel is a wild lie now. He really lived for a large part of the past decade in Washington D.C., hobnobbing with activist progressive politicos, which is how he was recruited in the first place.

[U.S. Indo-Pacific Command @INDOPACOM]

Overnight, U.S. forces carried out a maritime interdiction and right-of-visit boarding of the sanctioned stateless vessel MT DAVINA located in the Indian Ocean within the INDOPACOM area of responsibility.

We will continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt illicit networks and interdict vessels providing material support to Iran, wherever they operate.

International waters cannot be used as a shield by sanctioned actors. The Department of War will continue to deny illicit act ors and their vessels freedom of maneuver in the maritime domain.

[Flopping Aces @FloppingAces]

You’ve got to admire the consistency.

A man who was already permanently banned from Atlanta’s transit system steps onto a MARTA train, walks up to a 66-year-old woman he’s never met, and stabs her twenty times in under a minute. Then he calmly waits for the next stop, steps off, and sits down like he’s just finished his commute. The police call it random. The media nods along. And somewhere, the people who spent years making sure that ban meant nothing get to act surprised again.

Meanwhile, in Virginia, ICE is reduced to publicly begging a Democratic governor not to release an illegal immigrant facing multiple felony charges for raping a child. They lay out the warnings, the record, the risk. And the same people who designed the system that makes these warnings optional will once again express shock when the next story drops.

It’s almost elegant how it works. Every policy choice that weakens enforcement, every decision that treats prior bans and pending rape charges as minor administrative details, every insistence that consequences are somehow disconnected from the rules being written ... it all feeds the same result. Then when the bodies appear, everyone gets to say the magic phrase: “No one could have seen this coming.”

As the Joker once observed, it’s all part of the plan.

The plan doesn’t require anyone to want the killings. It just requires them to keep treating every warning as optional, every enforcement mechanism as optional, and every predictable outcome as a tragic coincidence.

And so far, that plan is running on schedule.

You pull up to a massive corporate logo like Circle K, expecting accountability.

Instead, drivers in Spring Branch, TX pumped water-logged fuel straight into their tanks and watched their engines completely die a mile down the road.

One Uber driver lost his entire livelihood to a ruined motor. But when the victims demanded answers, the multi-billion-dollar brand pulled the ultimate disappearing act.

Corporate immediately washed their hands of it, hiding behind the excuse that this specific location is an "independently owned and operated" franchise.

Weeks later, the owners and insurance companies are completely ghosting the victims, leaving regular people to foot thousands in repair bills.

The corporate shield is a trap. They want your money, but the second their infrastructure breaks your property, you're on your own.

[Hidden History @HiddenHistoryYT]

82 years ago today, eight American sailors jumped onto a sinking Nazi submarine in the middle of the Atlantic.

What they pulled out of it changed the war. And the Navy buried the whole story for years.

First, you need to know that U-505 was already cursed. German sailors called her the unluckiest boat in the fleet. In October 1943, during a brutal British depth-charge attack, her own captain shot himself in the head in the control room, in front of his crew. He remains the only submarine commander in history known to have killed himself underwater in combat. His second-in-command calmly took over, rode out the attack, and sailed her home.

Eight months later, her luck ran out completely.

June 4, 1944. Two days before D-Day. Captain Daniel Gallery's hunter-killer group, built around the escort carrier USS Guadalcanal, had been stalking U-boats off West Africa. Gallery had an idea his superiors considered borderline insane: don't sink the next one. Capture it. No US Navy crew had boarded and taken an enemy warship on the high seas since 1815.

The destroyer escort USS Chatelain caught U-505 on sonar and fired a salvo of hedgehog bombs. The U-boat broke the surface 700 yards away. Gunfire raked the conning tower, wounding her captain. He gave the order to abandon ship.

The Germans rushed out so fast they botched the scuttling. The sub was flooding, but her engines were still running. She was circling the battle at six knots, empty, sinking, and very possibly rigged with demolition charges.

So Lt. Albert David and eight men from USS Pillsbury chased her down in a whaleboat, leaped aboard, and climbed down the hatch into a dark, flooding submarine that could explode or go under at any second. They shut the scuttling valves, disarmed the charges, and stopped the flooding.

Down there they found the prize: Enigma cipher machines and roughly 900 pounds of codebooks and charts. Current settings. The keys to the German navy's secret communications.

But here's the catch. The treasure was only valuable if Germany never found out. One leak and Berlin changes every code overnight.

So the Navy ran one of the great cover-ups of the war. The sub was towed 1,700 miles to Bermuda and given a fake American name: USS Nemo. Around 3,000 sailors were sworn to total silence. The 58 captured German crewmen vanished into a POW camp in rural Louisiana, hidden even from the Red Cross. Germany declared U-505 lost with all hands and notified the families. The dead men were alive in Louisiana, and their boat was working for the US Navy.

The secret held until the war ended.

Lt. David received the Medal of Honor, the only one awarded in the Atlantic Fleet in all of WWII.

And the submarine? In 1954, Chicagoans raised $250,000 to bring her home. She was towed across Lake Michigan and dragged through the streets of Chicago to the Museum of Science and Industry.

She's still sitting there right now. You can walk through her.

[Christian @InTheTrenchesUK]

Cathy Newman,

You are not a journalist. You are a victimhood manufacturer with a microphone.

You played this same card after the Jordan Peterson interview. You distorted his words, he corrected you, you humiliated yourself, and suddenly you were the victim of misogyny. Not incompetence. Not dishonesty. Misogyny.

You cheered while cities burned for George Floyd. You wanted that rage to reach four corners. Now you act like a nun when the victim does not fit your narrative.

You interviewed Zia Yusuf not to understand two-tier policing but to trap him. You used your usual technique. "So what you are saying is..." Then you got called out for it.

Now you claim death threats. Hundreds of them. Unverified. Convenient. The same shield you deploy whenever your distortions collapse.

Jonathan Wong has more likes than your original post simply saying "I do not think you have mate." That is not misogyny. That is the public seeing through you.

You are not receiving threats for being a woman. You are receiving criticism for being a hack. There is a difference. One is illegal. The other is deserved.

Your technique is transparent. Your hypocrisy is documented. Your victim routine is exhausted.

Enough is enough.

Colorado’s Jefferson County Public Schools had 61 male athletes on girls’ sports rosters.

Not one. Not a handful. 61.

Biological males taking roster spots, wins, scholarships, and safety from actual girls, all while the district cheered it on.

This isn’t “inclusion.” It’s erasure of girls’ sports.

How many more districts are hiding the same numbers?

Turns out, this man who took a photo of me is pedo Dwayne. I reported on him last year when I discovered that he was able to view the footage at Frisco ISD without undergoing any form of background check.

He is a registered sex offender and child predator who lured a young boy to a hotel room and molested him. When I exposed this, and said I was going to make sure that Legislation was passed to make sure that registered sex offenders could not view footage via open records request at any public school, he threatened to sue me for discriminating against him for his identity.

[Lyndsey Fifield @lyndseyfifield]

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.

[Asra Nomani @AsraNomani]

🧵 Why did I put a photo of Marco Rubio next to Fidel Castro on a story about new U.S. sanctions against Cuba?

1/ Because Secretary of State Rubio just took direct aim at one of Castro’s oldest malign foreign influence and intelligence operations: the “Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples,” or ICAP, the acronym for its name in Spanish, Instituto Cubano de Amistad con los Pueblos.

As a man of Cuban heritage,
Rubio inherited something that he didn’t have to go to school to learn: cultural intelligence.

Everyone has some level of culture intelligence about a culture from which they have emerged or in which they have immersed: it could be PTA tennis-mom culture, suburban New Jersey culture or Cuban culture.

Rubio probably long ago learned the power of these four letters in the culture of communist Cuba: ICAP.

Created in 1960, one year after Castro seized power, ICAP has spent more than six decades cultivating foreign activists, exporting Marxist ideology and building international support for Cuba’s communist regime.

Among those activists:
📍1970s Weather Underground terrorist members
📍Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (as Spencer Pratt highlighted in a recent ad)
📍 CodePink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans
📍 Marxist political influencer Hasan Piker
📍 People’s Forum executive director Manolo De Los Santos
📍Progressive International cofounder David Adler
📍 American Marxist tycoon Neville Roy Singham and his Marxist academic father Archibald Singham

These activists deny any wrongdoing.

“For decades, Cuba has been the world capital for radical left-wing terrorism,” Rubio said yesterday.

“The regime in Havana has recruited, trained and backed violent Marxist and third-worldist movements across our hemisphere and beyond.”

Remember that term: “third-wordlist movements.” It is what China and Singham are using as a theme in their push for a “new world order,” led by the pro-Cuba Chinese Communist Party and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

Now Rubio has sanctioned ICAP among 5 Cuban entities, and he’s warned that anyone providing services to sanctioned Cuban actors is at risk. That means, CodePink, Piker, the Singham network.

This is Rubio directly confronting and dismantling the legacy of Castro in the modern U.S. nonprofit network funded by communist donor Neville Roy Singham.
