June 5, 1944. 3:30am.

Eisenhower woke to howling wind and hard rain. At 4:15am, in a water-soaked tent, his meteorologist James Stagg told him: there's a 24-hour break in the storm coming. One window. Miss it, and the next date is June 19.

He had 5,000 ships and 160,000 men already moving toward France.

He said: "OK. Let's go."

That evening at 8:30pm, he drove to Greenham Common to stand among the paratroopers of the 101st Airborne. He had just been privately briefed they could expect 80% casualties. He didn't show it. He walked through the crowd, shaking hands, asking names, asking where men were from.

One soldier, Lt. Wallace Strobel, said Michigan.

Eisenhower smiled. "Oh, Michigan. I used to fish there. Great fishing in Michigan."

Witnesses said his eyes were wet when he got back in the car.

That night, alone, he wrote four sentences and stuffed the paper in his pocket:

"Our landings have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone."

He misdated it "July 5." His mind was somewhere else.

Meanwhile, across the Channel, Field Marshal Rommel was in his staff car rolling through Germany toward home. His wife Lucie was turning 50 tomorrow. He had brought her a pair of shoes from Paris.

The Germans had no Atlantic weather stations. Their meteorologists had told high command: no invasion is possible in this weather. Rommel genuinely believed they had weeks.

The paratroopers jumped at midnight.

Q: "You’re the Secretary of HHS... and you didn’t know a 3-year-old girl was being s*xually abused on your watch?"https://t.co/nORXn1cXan

RFK Jr: "I can tell you there were tens of thousands... who were s*xually abused. The Biden administration lost 425,000 children, and you never complained. Why are you suddenly worried about s*xual abuse of children now and trafficking when it was mass promoted under the Biden administration...?"

This is Hank. He is incredibly invested in this plumbing project that does not require him in the slightest. 13/10

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Catherine Herridge has released a staggering interview that reveals 17% of children nationwide are the victim of sexuaI abuse in our public schools by school employees. This would be 8 million students.

California public schools are trying to hide the data, claiming "the data is only available the the Public record Act".

Teachers unions are fighting reporting laws to hide the issue. Teachers are not held accountable, they are allowed to transfer schools and are protected by the unions.

This should be receiving national media attention, but the fake "news" media ignores it because of ideology.

"In 2008, they told us that it couldn't be done. But we refused to listen. And wouldn't you know it, 20 years and $100 billion later, BAM: we are almost ready to start laying track."
