A week long celebration of the June 6 1944 D Day landing began yesterday . This is the 80th anniversary . It may be the last one where veterans of the landing will be alive to be honored .



At 99 years old, Jack Foy is considered the youngster among his group of friends that fought in World War II.
But their advanced age isn’t going to stop them from making the transatlantic journey to honor their fallen comrades on the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
On June 6, Foy – a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge (https://www.cnn.com/2014/12/23/world/gallery/cnnphotos-capa-bulge/index.html) – and his fellow American veterans will join dignitaries and heads of state from around the world to commemorate the approximately 160,000 Allied troops who, eight decades ago, carried out the largest seaborne invasion in human history.


80th anniversary of D-Day: This year will likely be the last major D-Day anniversary with living veterans, so organizers are all-out | CNN (https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/02/europe/d-day-80th-anniversary-commemoration-preview-intl/index.html?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter_axiosam&stream=top)

About 200 D Day veterans will attend.

The kickoff was a parachute jump from Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft (these actually began production in 1954)

With the approach of D Day 80 it is time for my generation the baby boomers to apologize to the Greatest Generation because we have not lived up to their high standards . Perhaps that would've been an impossible task . But we have not even tried .

They defeated the totalitarian regimes in Germany and Japan. They saved South Korea from a becoming part of an impoverished communist dictatorship. They built an international order based on freedom . They passed on to us the strongest nation in history with a sound economy. They defeated Soviet Communism . Then they passed the torch to us .

What have we done ? We squandered our inheritance.
The WWII generation handed off to us in 1992 . Since then our leaders have been of the Baby Boomer generation . We have built up a debt that we may never be able to pay. We are $36 trillion in the hole and spend at a rate of $ 1 trillion every 3 months. We don't even seriously speak of reigning in our spending addiction. Half of us think we don't spend enough.

Our military was unchallengeable going into the 1990s . Now it is more associated with chaotic retreats leaving behind a $50 billion arsenal for terrorists and their state patrons to use. The top man of our military went awol and never bothered informing the Commander in Chief or even his 2nd in command (who was taking a beach vacation )
They are under staffed and under supplied.

Not one of our allies can take assurance that we will be there when needed. Take for example Clueless Joe throwing Israel under the bus. He recently lied that a peace plan he was pushing was an Israeli plan .It was not. It came from Hamas.

Biden's latest peace-plan lie delights Hamas and hurts Israel (nypost.com) (https://nypost.com/2024/06/03/opinion/bidens-latest-peace-plan-lie-delights-hamas-and-hurts-israel/)

Instead of supporting Israel we give aid and comfort for those who would like to see them exterminated

Our generation has eroded our culture . Institutionalized mass murder of babies ;is trying to institutionalize euthanasia ;is complicit in the mutualization of our children. It is a cultural rot that is eating the nation from the inside.

And to top it off ;we have opened our borders to a horde of invaders. National sovereignty is a foreign concept ripe with racism and xenophobia to us. During Clueless Joe's watch as many people have illegally crossed the border as populate any of the top major cities in the nation.

In the last decade our leaders have turned the justice system into a tool against political opposition. Where the Greatest Generation fought to protect our liberties we are systematically destroying them or eroding them beyond recognition.

Our cities have become something from a dystopian movie. Public safety be damned .You are on your own. If anything the new generation of DAs want to protect the criminal.
Our universities were once the envy of the world . Now they are indoctrination centers.
There is not an institution in the nation safe from it's intended destruction. Justice and Intelligence point their arrows at the people instead of to serve them. There many of us who would like to dismantle the constitution piece by piece.
What bill of rights protections are safe ? Maybe the 3rd amendment prohibition of being forced to house troops hasn't been violated yet.

The saving of the world is the legacy of the Greatest Generation. The Baby Boomers legacy is a post constitutional America.

"Institutionalized mass murder of babies" Where and how and why?"

"institutionalize euthanasia" Where and how and why?

"complicit in the mutualization of our children" Mutualization??? Like denying them mutual aid and life insurance?

Is legal abortion still available in all 50 states ? Yes Then yes mass murder of babies is institutionalized .

Is euthanasia institutionalized in all 50 states ? Not yet but it is trending . Oregon, D.C., Hawaii, Washington, Maine, Colorado, New Jersey, California, and Vermont all have what they eufamistically call "assisted suicide " .

Mutualization of children ? About half the states have no restrictions of so called "gender affirming " procedures for minors .

Today is June 5 . 80 years ago the Allied Troops had boarded ships and waited in rough seas to get the go ahead to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany occupation. Allied paratroopers flew across the English channel to begin the campaign .13,400 American paratroopers were part of the largest airborne operation in history. Besides bad weather they were fired on by antiaircraft guns.

In the confusion ,most troops landed far from their intended drop zone and had no idea where they were.

Gliders followed up with landings . But they too encountered problems
Many small battles were fought with units being separated ;some troops fighting with mixed units .

In all 2,499 troops became casualties . This included 15 of 16 battalion commanders of the 82nd Airborne Division.
Despite the obstacles they secured their objectives holding choke points and created confusion for the Germans. They prevented a major counterattack of the beach landing on June 6.

Imagine a President today leading the nation in prayer .

It happened June 6 1944 80 years ago.

Here is FDR's prayer broadcast to the nation and the world

Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our Nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity.
Lead them straight and true; give strength to their arms, stoutness to their hearts, steadfastness in their faith.
They will need Thy blessings. Their road will be long and hard. For the enemy is strong. He may hurl back our forces. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; and we know that by Thy grace, and by the righteousness of our cause, our sons will triumph.
They will be sore tried, by night and by day, without rest-until the victory is won. The darkness will be rent by noise and flame. Men's souls will be shaken with the violences of war.
For these men are lately drawn from the ways of peace. They fight not for the lust of conquest. They fight to end conquest. They fight to liberate. They fight to let justice arise, and tolerance and good will among all Thy people. They yearn but for the end of battle, for their return to the haven of home.
Some will never return. Embrace these, Father, and receive them, Thy heroic servants, into Thy kingdom.
And for us at home - fathers, mothers, children, wives, sisters, and brothers of brave men overseas - whose thoughts and prayers are ever with them - help us, Almighty God, to rededicate ourselves in renewed faith in Thee in this hour of great sacrifice.
Many people have urged that I call the Nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts.
Give us strength, too - strength in our daily tasks, to redouble the contributions we make in the physical and the material support of our armed forces.
And let our hearts be stout, to wait out the long travail, to bear sorrows that may come, to impart our courage unto our sons wheresoever they may be.
And, O Lord, give us Faith. Give us Faith in Thee; Faith in our sons; Faith in each other; Faith in our united crusade. Let not the keenness of our spirit ever be dulled. Let not the impacts of temporary events, of temporal matters of but fleeting moment let not these deter us in our unconquerable purpose.
With Thy blessing, we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy. Help us to conquer the apostles of greed and racial arrogancies. Lead us to the saving of our country, and with our sister Nations into a world unity that will spell a sure peace a peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men. And a peace that will let all of men live in freedom, reaping the just rewards of their honest toil.
Thy will be done, Almighty God.
Amen.

The official version is that he was looking to sit down while everyone else was still standing. Jill covered her mouth telling him he should remain standing . But he could not bring himself back to an upright position.
Later Jill abruptly escorted him off stage leaving Macron to meet and greet the US vets there .

Prior to that he made a speech.He paid lip service about the valor and sacrifice bravery and courage of the vets . But it was in large part about funding Ukraine and WWIII .

Perhaps the biggest villain in this entire charade is Jill Biden. She is well educated and intelligent, and thus knows very well that her husband is just a cardboard president. The video you shared is another sad indication of what is plainly true.

Yes she enables this . I think the whole Biden family realizes their criminal enterprise goes defunct when he leaves public office. She took a quick jet after D Day to go back to Hunter's trial . That is where the bread is buttered .

I think that's why there is such a terror about Trump being elected. He knows where the skeletons are buried.

I should be finished with D Day soon. I have to comment that it was disgusting that Quid apologized to Zelensky for the delay in the US aid to Ukraine.
nm
But one more moment that the whole world got to watch . They were playing taps and everyone on the podium was standing facing out . Suddenly Joe shuffled his feet and was facing to the rear . Not knowing what else to do ;Jill Biden ;Macron and his wife turned to face the back .

Evita's D Day message equated voting against Trump with the D Day landing liberating Europe.

Hillary Clinton on X: "Eighty years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy. This November, all we have to do is vote." / X (https://x.com/HillaryClinton/status/1798688498784079878)

In doing so she disrespects the memory of those brave soldiers.

We have heard Dems and their mouthpieces like Robert DeNiro warn that if Trump won he would become a dictator refusing to leave . They warned that is 2020 also . He left.

But what if it is Quid who refuses to leave ? Or what if he suspends elections over fear of what those rascally MAGA Repubs will do ? They already know what MAGA will do. All they need to do is see what MAGA did after Trump was convicted . There were no days of rage burning down cities. There was no armed civil war .

What MAGA did was mobilize and show support by sending $$$ to the Trump campaign.....$53 million in a day.

Trump Announces Nearly $53 Million Fund-Raising Haul After Guilty Verdict - The New York Times (nytimes.com) (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/31/us/politics/trump-fundraising-verdict.html)

The intel and law enforcement agencies colluded with the Dems to undermine Trump before he was even elected in 2016 . They fought him throughout his Presidency .
Seriously..... does anyone see the military ;the FBI or any Federal agency with a gun allowing Trump to remain in power after his term ;if he were to win in November ?

On the other hand Quid has the support of the deep state swamp and it's law enforcement agencies . He has the means to hold onto power if he choose to and the swamp circles the wagons .

If Biden refuses to leave, then it's hard to see how it will end well. Unless, of course, he is refusing to leave because he's forgotten where the exit doors are located.

I just threw that out as a hypothetical . I am not sure that either will exit the White House upright . There is a greater chance in my view that Quid creates a false flag reason for shenanigans .....a Reichstag moment that the swamp could rally behind .

They project that scenario on Trump with little protest from the critical thinkers </sarc> of the compliant press. So why not suggest that they are projecting their own authoritarian tendencies ?
