I hate the cult of D-Day.  So much else happened in June 44.  Imphal-Kohima, fall of Rome, Forager, the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, Bagration, Vyborg offensive.

 

There's barely a day in June of 44 that something didn't happen of historical significance.  And it all gets overshadowed by D-Day.

 

It was very difficult to gain a place to land in Western Europe, not as hard as trying to gain one in Britain from Western Europe.

That makes no sense, and if it did make sense it wouldn't be true, and if it were true makes my point for me.

Don't bother Foxx.

 

For the ill-informed like McGee, my post was obviously making fun of those posting and reposting of the fake Trump quote from People magazine in 1998.

 

The content was not racist.

 

The point, which eluded him, was that that particular meme is bogus, but libs don't care because it fits their bias.

 

 

 

That particular poster's penchant for nonsense makes me glad that I am a fan of 30's and 40's radio.............

What's REALLY important here is that Guciffer (the original) walked back his earlier claims of having hacked the Clinton server. Instead he claims to have gotten it off of the dark web AFTER others had hacked it. 

 

Guciffer 2.0 is a key part of the Mueller report and a key foundation to the Russia hacked meme. They're also an invention of CrowdStrike...

God bless President Tangerine!

 

As a side note, when did liking lattes become a requirement to be head of the EPA?

For all of the money we are spending, NASA should NOT be talking about going to the Moon - We did that 50 years ago. They should be focused on the much bigger things we are doing, including Mars (of which the Moon is a part), Defense and Science!

I'm looking forward to this.  Bieber's picking a fight with a guy who underwent months of combat training to realistically portray a hit man in Collateral.  Bieber has...

 

...thrown eggs at a neighbor's house.

 

Bieber's gonna ***** die.  And I'm going to enjoy every minute of it.

it was better on the Arliss superagent show where he instantly came up with "sometimes you gotta be like Tom Cruise and go what the *****!!" before he made a disastrous decision for his client.

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is rejecting requests from U.S. embassies to fly the rainbow pride flag on embassy flagpoles during June, LGBTQ Pride Month, three American diplomats told NBC News.

The U.S. embassies in Israel, Germany, Brazil and Latvia are among those that have requested permission from Trump's State Department to fly the pride flag on their flagpoles and have been denied, diplomats said.

Embassies Display Pride Flags, Media Get it Wrong

By Kim Hirsch

 

In case you missed it, it’s Gay Pride Month. Because it’s Pride Month, four US embassies around the world requested permission to fly the rainbow pride flag on flagpoles. The Trump administration put the kibosh on that, although embassies are permitted to display the flag on embassy grounds, such as the inside of the building or on exterior walls.

 

But once again the media distort what really happened.

 

The Hill reports as its headline, “Some US embassies fly rainbow flag despite rejected requests from Trump admin.” Newsweek‘s headline reads, “U.S. Embassies Display Pride Flag, Despite Trump Administration Advisory Against It.” Finally, the Washington Post had this headline: “Some U.S. Embassies still hoisting rainbow flags, despite new policy.”

 

Man the ramparts, the rainbow troops are mounting an insurrection! I can practically hear choruses from Les Miserables!

 

Except the media, once again, are not presenting the facts correctly.

 

It’s true that the embassies were not given permission to fly the rainbow flag on their flagpoles with the American flag. However, as noted above, they did receive permission to display the flag in an alternative manner.

 

For example, the embassy in Seoul, South Korea, worked within the parameters of the guidelines by placing a large rainbow flag on the exterior of the building. Per regulation, it is not flying from a flagpole.

 

The U.S. Consulate General in Chennai also placed its flag on the building’s exterior, and produced this video.

 

 

 

The U.S. Embassy in India projected rainbow lights on the exterior of their building, which they used on their Twitter page.

Moreover, Richard Grenell of the US Embassy in Berlin, an openly gay member of the Trump administration, said this:

“The President’s recognition of Pride Month and his tweet encouraging our decriminalization campaign gives me even more pride to once again march in the Berlin Pride parade, hang a huge banner on the side of the Embassy recognizing our pride, host multiple events at the Embassy and the residence, and fly the gay pride flag.” 

 

 

The Trump administration, despite the frenzied headlines, obviously doesn’t have a problem with displaying gay pride. But this year it made two new stipulations: first, the flag requests must receive higher level approval from the State Department. Secondly, as noted above, the flags cannot fly on a flagpole with the American flag. What’s the problem?

 

Never mind that President Trump is the first Republican president to honor Pride Month with a statement, or that his administration has appointed several gay ambassadors. It’s never good enough. 

 

But more importantly, I ask you this:

Why should any special interest group have the right to fly their flag with the American flag at an embassy?

Should we also fly the flags of, for instance, environmental groups? Or soccer teams? Or flags that say Choose Life? Could you imagine the outrage with that?

 

So how about this: we leave embassy flagpoles only for Old Glory. No other non-state flag should fly there. In the meantime, maybe the media could get their information straight, and stop making the Trump administration to be some draconian regime from the Dark Ages.
