To commemorate the Allied invasion of Europe, which began 70 years ago today, one of my favorite speeches, delivered thirty years ago at Pointe du Hoc, Normandy, by Ronald Reagan. The text can be found in this Wall Street Journal article from yesterday, here. June 5 was the 10th anniversary of Ronald Reagan’s death.
Fitting Day To listen to this Band of Brothers…

From the mouths of ideologues born in the shadows of Saul Alinsky: “Isolate, Ridicule, Marginalize”
WASHINGTON DC – White House aides have accused members of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s unit of “swift-boating” the 28-year-old Idahoan for claiming that he deserted his post in Afghanistan nearly five years ago, MSNBC’s Chuck Todd reported.
“I’ve had a few aides describe it to me as we didn’t know that they were going to swift-boat Bergdahl’,” Todd said Wednesday.
The term “swift-boating” comes from 2004 when members of then-Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry’s Swift Boat unit came forward during the election to accuse him of misleading American voters about his service in Vietnam. (read more)
Alas, there exists an unknown factor for a White House devoid of understanding military service. Within the band of brothers there exists a unit cohesion impenetrable to the divisive tactics of Alinskyites.

ON THE night of June 3rd–4th 1989 the Chinese army unleashed its tanks in the centre of Beijing to crush a protest that had begun seven weeks earlier against the Communist Party’s autocratic rule.
Ever since, Chinese officials grow nervous in the run-up to the anniversary of the crackdown. This year they are especially jittery, fearful that the symbolic passage of a quarter of a century might encourage some dissidents to be more daring than usual in their public remembrance of the hundreds, perhaps thousands, who were killed.
Security forces around the country are on heightened alert, particularly in Tiananmen Square, the plaza that has become synonymous with the unrest. (more…)
Montel Williams epic outrage. Well worth watching:
There is a profound Irony at play. President Obama, and Hillary Clinton supported the hardline Islamist element within the Muslim Brotherhood and Mohammed Morsi who have now been dispatched in favor of a secular governance provided by El-Sisi. Meanwhile, next door in Libya, the U.S. administration and State Dept. are telling all Americans to evacuate the country as the U.S. supported government is under attack.
CAIRO – With nearly all ballots counted, Egypt’s former military chief has won a crushing victory over his sole opponent in the country’s presidential election, his campaign said Thursday. But the results were stained by questions about turnout despite a robust government effort to get out the vote.
Retired field marshal Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi won more than 92 percent of the votes, compared with 2.9 percent percent for his sole opponent and 4 percent of invalid votes, according to a tally released by his campaign.
His victory was never in doubt, but the career infantry officer had pushed for an overwhelming turnout as well to bestow legitimacy on his ouster last July of Egypt’s first freely elected president, the Islamist Mohammed Morsi. (more…)

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — A nation spends Memorial Day weekend remembering its military’s fallen. Luke Porter devotes most of his life to that mission. It’s his job.
He also makes sure others pay proper respect.
Spc. Brett Hyde, Tomb Sentinel, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, 3d U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard), inspects a soldier’s rifle at Arlington National Cemetery, Virginia, May 21, 2014. Hyde served at the Tomb for the past 34 months.
When he walks across the plaza of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery, his uniform crisp and immaculate, creases like razors, all eyes turn to him.
Tourists lounge and gab — until the State College native delivers the standard address for the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
“Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please,” he intones. “I am Sgt. Porter, of the 3rd Infantry Regiment, United States Army Guard of Honor, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
“The ceremony that you are about to witness is the changing of the guard. In keeping with the dignity of the ceremony it is requested that everyone remain silent and standing. Thank you.”
It always works. (more…)
