Mess Attendant Second Class Doris “Dorie” Miller awoke at 6 am. His first duty was to collect the crew’s laundry from deep in the hold of his ship. Miller was a big man, a gentle giant standing 6 foot 4 inches tall and weighing over 200 pounds. Very few of his fellow sailors made fun of his first name. Nobody ever did it twice.
Miller had been at work for nearly two hours when a violent shudder hurled him against the steel bulkhead. The USS West Virginia was under attack.
It was December 7th, 1941.
Over the course of that distant and chaotic morning, Miller helped move his captain to safety, commandeered a deck mounted anti-aircraft machine gun and, by the reckoning of some crew members, shot down between four and six Japanese aircraft. He also helped move crew members to safety at great personal risk. Miller saved many lives that day.
In the reflective aftermath of battle, while the Navy counted their dead, they also counted their heroes. Mess Attendant Miller was recognised as one of America’s first heroes of World War II. They awarded him the Navy Cross and a promotion.
He should have received the Medal of Honour.
The Frigate USS Miller (FF-1091) was later named for him. The planned aircraft carrier USS Doris Miller (CVN-81) is about to be.
Or is it?
CNN reports that three high-level sources inside the Trump orbit say that Trump wants that ship named for himself. Ominously, the ship’s name has recently been rebranded by its hull classification number CVN-81 only, and the name USS Miller has been scrubbed from the official record.
Of course that’s what Trump wants. Miller was a black man, and the draft-dodging, racist creep knows his bigoted base won’t begrudge him stealing the name of the new carrier from an African American for himself. As long as the hero it was named for wasn’t white.
I am tired of that child-raping, lying douchebag carving out stolen honours for himself. A White House ballroom for a man with no balls, an arch for an arch criminal, the Peace Prize for a piece of shit, the chiseller’s name chiselled into the Kennedy Centre — all that is bad enough.
But there is no place for a craven, whiny, tantrum-throwing man-child on the hull of an American aircraft carrier. None.
Nearly two years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, Doris Miller died in battle defending his country. He was 24. He was buried with full honours. A granite marker was dedicated to his life and heroism in his hometown of Waco, Texas.
Draft-dodging Trump and the monsters who serve him have earned no such dedications, no statues, no official praise, nothing but contempt — and prison. One day history will assign them the villainy they deserve, and their names will, like the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, forever live in infamy.

As a Retired US Army paratrooper, pictures like these hit hard. Trump never had the courage to pick up a rifle and man a post when he was called to serve.

Yet he has the nerve to promote AI pictures like this showing him wearing things like Parachutist badges, and rows of ribbons he never had to courage to obtain. Anyone who has ever served should be pissed at garbage like this.

His father paid a doctor’s note so he wouldn't have to serve. But remember that for every one of the draft deferments, someone else had to go in his place.

A pure disgrace.

WE DON'T NEED THE US! 🇪🇺🇨🇦

Canada has rejected the latest U.S. trade proposal, stating it will not accept a deal at any cost!

The European Union and Canada are closer than ever. Through CETA, we have one of the world's most ambitious trade agreements.

Ben-Gvir is building gallows with viewing booths so people can watch Palestinian prisoners be hanged.

He’s turning executions into a spectacle.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

National sadism.
