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.

Nothing about this should be remotely controversial. Pass the Save America Act!

🚨BREAKING: The United States government has sent official condolences to the family of Henry Nowak and the people of the United Kingdom The US cares more than Keir Starmer.

@caelisangelus @Sausageandeggx @R_Van_Antwerpen The best were killed off in the two world wars.

Medicine has a long history of dismissing illnesses before it understood them. Lupus. Multiple sclerosis. Sjögren’s. Peptic ulcers. Parkinson’s. “I don’t know the mechanism” is a scientific statement. “Therefore the illness isn’t real” is not. The graveyard of medical certainty is crowded with diseases that were once dismissed and later proven.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it. Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse. It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

In his final moments, Henry Nowak told police officers nine times “I can’t breathe” and four times that he had been stabbed. In response police officer dragged him across the gravel, handcuffed and read him his rights. It was the last thing Henry heard before he died.

@WallStreetApes People assume “pay for the consequences of your choices” is a simple principle. But we’ve already seen healthcare systems use BMI and other risk factors to influence access to treatment. Today it’s weight. Tomorrow it could be genetics, risk scores, or something else.

@greg_f_miller @WallStreetApes This assumes health is mostly a choice. Much of medicine is genetics, bad luck, aging, accidents, autoimmune disease, infection, and cancer. The problem with “pay for your own choices” is that eventually everyone gets a bill they didn’t choose.

NOBODY IS TELLING YOU THE REAL STORY OF THE BRUSSELS RIOTS Yes, there are riots in Brussels right now. Yes, police are being pelted with rocks and fireworks. Yes, stores are being looted and barricades are burning in the EU capital. But here's the part everyone is missing: Mainstream media is calling this an education protest. A student demonstration against tuition hikes that got out of hand. → The participants being described in video and on the ground are second and third-generation migrants — not students → The tactics are not protest tactics — barricades, arson, looting, and direct attacks on police → Brussels has seen this exact pattern before, repeatedly, in the same neighborhoods → No mainstream outlet in the initial coverage identified the demographic detail the source video makes explicit → The EU finalized new deportation rules and "return hubs" on June 1–2 — two days before this erupted If the participants are primarily second and third-generation migrants, then this is not an education story. If this is not an education story, then the "students vs. tuition hikes" framing is covering something the EU capital does not want named. If the EU does not want it named, then the new deportation rules passed two days ago were not strong enough to change the underlying dynamic — and Brussels just proved it. If Brussels just proved it, then every EU government that voted for those rules while calling integration a success is now sitting on video evidence that contradicts their own narrative. That's what nobody is saying out loud. The EU passed its toughest migration enforcement rules in a generation on June 1st. The EU capital was on fire by June 4th. Follow and turn on notifications before it's too late.

@HJB_News__ Don’t they have tasers?

🚨 BREAKING: The US Senate has just REJECTED the SAVE America Act as part of budget reconciliation, 48-50 — would've required voter ID and proof of citizenship nationwide REPUBLICAN NAYs: Thom Tillis, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins UNBELIEVABLE!! It needed 60 votes. Why can't the Senate pass what over 80% of Americans want?!

California is going to take 37 days to count 9 million mail in ballots with 0 of the voters showing ID. This is totally fine with John Thune. Think about that.

SECRETARY RUBIO: "One of the things you'll find pretty consistently in every totalitarian system is that they want to control the ability of their citizens to communicate with one another."
