How utterly absurd following @calleymeans' interview on Joe Rogan that Heidi Overton would still be on the docket for confirmation for the FDA. Non-viable. Give it up. https://t.co/tIPq4oB06m
In 2013, a work of art was created on a beach in Normandy as a tribute to the roughly 9000 people who lost their lives there on D-Day.
Designed by the British sand artists Jamie Wardley and Andy Moss, it was made of 9000 human silhouettes raked into the sand at Arromanches, one for every soldier and civilian who died during the landings, and it was completed on 21 September, the International Day of Peace, with the help of hundreds of volunteers.
About 60 volunteers had signed up in advance, far too few for such a huge task, but on the day, people simply started turning up. Locals, tourists and strangers from around the world picked up rakes and stencils and joined in, racing the incoming tide. The artists made one decision that gave the whole work its meaning: there are no flags, no uniforms and no sides. The 9000 figures stand for Allied servicemen, German soldiers and French civilians alike, and in the sand they all look the same.
As the artists put it, they would be known only as "The Fallen."
D-Day remains the largest seaborne invasion in history: on 6 June 1944, after a day’s delay caused by bad weather, American, British, Canadian and other Allied troops landed on five beaches along the heavily fortified coast of Normandy, codenamed Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. They stormed ashore under relentless German fire, and Omaha Beach became the deadliest of them all.
The exact number of those who died that day will never be known. The artists explained that 9000 is a conservative, rounded figure: around 3000 French civilians, 2000 German soldiers and 4414 Allied servicemen.
A few hours after the last silhouette was drawn, the tide rolled in and erased them all, exactly as the artists intended: a reminder of how quickly lives can be swept away, and how easily they can be forgotten. In Jamie Wardley’s words, the work was “a sobering reminder of what happens when peace is not present.”
Hi Shelly. Can't reply to you there she's blocked me. I see @laurenlee is piling on too. She's another engagement farmer. She and Holden used to partner doing MAHA spaces. Seems they want money more than facts.
I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside great Americans across generations for nearly 24 years and still serve in the Army Reserve today. To my fellow veterans, my heartfelt thanks to you and your loved ones for all you have done and continue to do to serve our great nation. #VeteransDay
CALLEY MEANS’ MEDIA BLITZ: HONEST RECKONING OR A MAHA PSYOP?
How did Calley Means go from a Stanford graduate and former Council on Foreign Relations term member to a Trump administration role and a public face of MAHA?
Shannon Joy and Dr. Mary Bowden examine his rapid ascent and the timing of his resignation.
His seemingly coordinated media appearances and sudden reversal on Susie Wiles raise questions. After years of defending Wiles, why is Calley now blaming her for every failure while still defending RFK Jr. and Trump?
@ShannonJoyRadio and @MaryBowdenMD explore who is directing that messaging. Does the rise of the Means's sibling reflect organic support, or a well-coordinated psyop campaign?
I am very pleased to be back in #Peru. This return visit holds a very special meaning for me. For years, I shared in the lives of its people, listened to their concerns, and learned from their faith. Many opened the doors of their homes to me and made me feel like one of their own. Today I understand how much of this land remains with me and how much of my own story also belongs to you. That is why I can tell you, with deep gratitude, that I am also returning to my homeland. #ApostolicJourney
