Hey @TDCJ , this is how your employees talk about murdered white kids like Austin Metcalf.

I expect her to be fired!

@gregcello $70?! WTF

[DataRepublican (small r) @DataRepublican]

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.

Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.

Pass it on.

U.S. Navy Lieutenant Richard Miles McCool, Jr. of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, was awarded the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions on June 10-11, 1945, off the coast of Okinawa.

After the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941, McCool was accepted into a new Navy ROTC program and later appointed to the Naval Academy. He graduated in 1944 (his class of 1945 graduated a year early) and by June 1945 was serving as a lieutenant on the USS LCS(L)(3)-122 and Landing Craft Support ship.

On June 10, 1945, off the coast of Okinawa Island, McCool helped rescue the survivors of the sinking destroyer USS William D. Porter. The next day, his ship was hit by a Japanese kamikaze. Although he suffered severe burns and shrapnel wounds in the explosion, he continued to lead his crew in the firefighting and rescue efforts until relief arrived. He was awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions on June 10-11, 1945.

McCool also served in the Korean War and the Vietnam War. He retired at the rank of Captain in 1974 after a 30-year career. He died of natural causes on March 5, 2008, in Bremerton, Washington.

The one thing I never knew about the Austin Metcalf murder, was the timeline.

The Metcalf brothers arrived at the stadium at 9:54am.

Austin Metcalf was deceased at 10:00am. That’s how quick it was for his life to be taken.

They got there at 9:54, walked over the bleachers and into the tent probably around 9:55am, and Karmelo Anthony followed them into that tent.

They were only under that tent for about 4 to 4 1/2 minutes before Austin was mortally wounded.

I feel that shows a lot more intent than originally thought. It’s not like Karmelo Anthony was in there, chillin, nice and comfortable because he had been there for a while.

He followed the Metcalf brothers in there and immediately started provoking a fight and reaching in his bag.

It was only 15 to 16 minutes from the time that they arrived, to the time Karmelo Anthony was led out in handcuffs. #RipAustinMetcalf

Who is Dave Sherrill?

He is @GovSherrillNJ's Dad.

Public records identify Dave Sherrill as President of United Solutions and Services LLC (US2), a contractor associated with Cape Fox Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation. Federal procurement records show US2 received contract awards totaling over $250 million in obligated funds, including major Army and Department of the Interior programs.

One notable feature of the award history is the apparent gap between 2016 and 2022. After substantial contract activity through 2016, federal award records reviewed for this thread show little or no visible activity until a $15.3 million award appears in 2022.

The following pages document the award history using federal procurement records and https://t.co/ezdfzyCBe0 entity data.

Sorted oldest to newest.

Again, why did @MikieSherrill's dad's company get a $15 million+ contract in 2022 after 6 years of doing nothing.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.

At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.

Their mission: climb it.

The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.

The Rangers kept climbing.

It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.

They reached the top.

Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.

Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.

The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.

Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.

When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.

Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

Truth. I think of this often to remind myself that I don't have single thing worth complaining about in life.

The men on those landing boats at Normandy would all gladly trade for my worst day.

I can't even imagine being as scared as those kids were.

[Untold War Stories @UntoldWarFacts]

They refused to bathe. They refused to salute. They poached deer from an English lord's estate and used their washing water ration to cook it.

The night before D-Day they shaved mohawks and painted their faces like warriors.

Then they jumped into Normandy on one of the deadliest missions of the invasion.

This is the story of the Filthy Thirteen..🧵1/7

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

REMINDER: on May 28, the state of New Jersey’s health inspectors went to Delaney Hall and they didn’t find one single violation.

Compare this to New Jersey’s own “DEPLORABLE” state prison system, where a man was BEATEN to death in his own cell and guards didn’t check on him for TWO DAYS.

Don’t take our word for it, see the horrific story for yourself ⬇️

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ICE Newark agents TOOK DOWN an illegal alien wanted for ARMED ROBBERY in Peru, with an INTERPOL RED NOTICE

He then tried FLEEING, but agents nabbed him

The riots are NOT slowing them down 🔥

We staked out his apartment undercover this morning, waiting to pounce

You can hear and see it all go down👇🏻

We had MULTIPLE targets on the itinerary for this morning. 100% of them are now in ICE custody. Great work by these heroes 👏

I’m sure this’ll be a surprise to literally nobody, but this guy was RELEASED into the country under Joe Biden in 2022.

THIS is who Democrats are trying to release all over our streets.

Don’t let them!

Stand with ICE 🇺🇸

@JeremyWGR @ChiPat999 Just seems to me the Beane hate has been taken to another level by some. He's had his fair share of misses for sure but the vitriol for not getting Garrett is ridiculous. Thanks for the response and I do listen! And watch!

[SLAP1 @slapdoe]

@ChiPat999 @JeremyWGR He's trying to say Beane never takes swings, But he does, DJ Moore just two months after the entire fanbase wanted a WR. Get a WR and everybody bitches about someone else. And thanks for letting me know it's 2026, wouldn't have known otherwise

On Memorial Day, @nicksortor was one of the first people I heard from that morning and one of the last people I heard from that afternoon.

He took time out of his day to visit Alan’s grave, honor his sacrifice, and share that experience with those of us who couldn’t be there ourselves.

Later that day, he reached out and asked if our family would like the Director of National Intelligence’s challenge coin that Director Gabbard left when she paid her respects.

For those who don’t know, mementos left at gravesites in Arlington are typically preserved as part of the historical record. They are documented and carefully maintained, but they don’t usually make their way back to the families of the fallen.

Without Nick, that coin likely would have become part of that collection.

Instead, today it made its way home.

It now sits beside the coins Alan collected throughout his life in the case that holds the flag that draped his coffin.

That happened because he took the time to think about what that coin might mean to our family and cared enough to ask the question.

Nick stepped up in a big way on Memorial Day. He is a true patriot, and our gratitude for what he did for our family is beyond words. ♥️🇺🇸♥️
