If you don't celebrate your own traditions, then you will have to celebrate someone else's traditions. The Norwegian team celebrates the right way and we all love it. The Viking way. But also wearing the Cross of Christ with pride.

🇩🇪🇹🇷🇮🇱 ÚLTIMA HORA: Alemania condena los comentarios del canciller turco Hakan Fidan sobre que Israel es una carga para la humanidad, tras el llamado del canciller israelí Gideon Sa’ar a los países de la OTAN para que los rechacen por considerarlos una incitación al genocidio.

Pvt. Harry Hudec stood 6'4" tall & was the regimental boxing champion of the 82nd Airborne Division’s 508th PIR, but his greatest fight came during the battle for Normandy. 🥊 On D-Day, Hudec made his first combat jump into Normandy, dropping at 1:30 AM with Headquarters Company. He fought fiercely at Hill 30 between Chef-du-Pont and Picauville. 🪂 On June 15, German hand grenade fragments tore into his leg, severely wounding him.🏥 Crawling to a nearby French farmhouse, Hudec was hidden in the stable by a brave farming family who tended his wounds for four days. When Germans approached, the farmer warned Hudec who hobbled down the road until American forces rescued him. 🇺🇸 After recovering, he jumped again during Operation Market Garden in Holland. 🪂 Later, he endured the brutal winter fighting of the Battle of the Bulge in the Ardennes. 🪖 During his service, the boxing paratrooper tough earned the Purple Heart, the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Parachutist Badge with two combat stars, & the Presidential Unit Citation awarded to the 508th PIR for their heroism in Normandy. 🎖️ After the war, Hudec returned home to Cleveland, Ohio, married his sweetheart, Dorothy, raised three children, & enjoyed a 43-year career with the Cleveland Electric Illuminating Company. 🔋⚡️ In 2004, for the 60th anniversary of D-Day, Hudec returned to Normandy to personally thank the French family that had saved his life decades earlier. 🇫🇷 Harry Hudec passed away at the age of 85 on March 29, 2007. He is buried at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri. 🪦

82%. That is how many Japanese said they felt friendly toward America in autumn 2011. The highest number ever recorded in history. Do you know what the US military did to earn that? They dug. March 11, 2011. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake and a black tsunami swallowed northeast Japan. Sendai Airport disappeared under 300,000 cubic meters of debris. The runway lay buried in mud, cars, broken homes. The airport was officially closed. Nothing could land. American Marines went in anyway. They slept in sleeping bags in a frozen parking lot. They grabbed shovels and dug black mud shoulder to shoulder with Japanese workers. Day and night. No breaks. No cameras. While people were freezing in shelters without food, water, or medicine. 24,000 troops. 24 ships. 189 aircraft. Operation Tomodachi. 「Tomodachi」means friend. Nine days after the wave, transport planes were landing with supplies. Nine. Days. Then came April 3. An Air Force colonel flew over the beach beside the runway and looked down. Survivors who had lost their homes, their towns, their families, dragged trees across the sand with their bare hands. One by one. Meters long. They spelled a single word, placed exactly where only a landing pilot could see it. ARIGATO. The colonel said he was the one who felt grateful. People fighting for their lives had spent their last strength to thank him. That is what soldiers did. That is what survivors did. In 1945, our two nations were at war. In 2011, one dug through the mud for the other. And the other wrote thank you in the sand, so it could be read from the sky.

On August 9, 2001, the Sbarro pizzeria in Jerusalem was busy with families and children eating pizza on a summer afternoon. A Hamas suicide bomber entered with a guitar case and detonated a device packed with nails. The blast killed 15 people, including 7 children and a pregnant woman, and injured 130. Witnesses reported children thrown through windows onto the blood-covered street and a mother discovering her baby dead in a stroller. Hamas had chosen this crowded civilian restaurant to maximize deaths among innocent Jews, especially children. They still honor the bomber as a hero. This is the evil of Hamas. It didn't start on Oct 7.

Rise and shine to all in Massachusetts as we highlight another story that made me proud to be from the Commonwealth. While our state government chose not to officially participate in the Great American State Fair on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., another one of our own still stepped up anyway. Judith Kalaora, a Boston resident, showed up at the Massachusetts booth dressed in a full Revolutionary War uniform to honor Deborah Sampson, the brave Massachusetts woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for our independence. She didn’t do it for politics or attention; she did it to remind people of Massachusetts’ incredible revolutionary spirit and to bring our shared American heritage to life for visitors from across the country. In her own words, Judith hoped her presence would “unite folks to realize that Boston and Massachusetts have a great spirit.” That’s the Massachusetts I know and love, everyday people stepping forward with pride when it matters most. Thank you, Judith, for representing us so beautifully in D.C. during America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

Marine Vet Daniel Penny stepped up to protect innocent people on a NYC subway. Alvin Bragg’s response? A vicious, politically motivated prosecution that nearly destroyed his life. A jury saw through the BS and acquitted him. Now Penny is fighting back — suing Bragg for malicious prosecution. Enough is enough. These weaponized DAs have ruined good Americans with zero accountability for far too long. It’s time they face consequences. #JusticeForDanielPenny #HoldBraggAccountable

My great great grandfather was born a slave in South Carolina in the 1840's. My family has deep roots here in America, this is my home. I'm not an African American. I'm an American!

@PolitiKorp @DSA_Watch Big DSA member AOC endorsed him

@DSA_Watch This Republican will even take you if it means no terror sympathizers like this El-Sayed.

@Saul_Sadka @robertbrynin If you can talk to Trump do so I don’t trust anyone around him but Rubio to be truthful with him. Definitely not Vance and maybe Susi Wiles

There is no backing down at this point. This can only end with the destruction of the IRGC, and Trump surely understands that viscerally.

@Saul_Sadka Hope you are right but I’m not sure that someone like Vance isn’t prodding him to let things like this go. It’s unusual for a man with Trumps ego to not be seriously concerned for his family he loves his family.

@isaacrrr7 Here’s your chance, take it.

@lucythegreat123 Please someone tell me why this disgusting man is still here. I thought we finally got the green light to rid ourselves of him.

It is funny because my son was likewise on a student visa all year in France. Do you know where he is now? He is fucking home, because a student visa is not for immigration you complete and utter terror lover!

I came to America like so many immigrants before me, chasing opportunity, stability, prosperity, and justice. That promise hasn't held for me, yet I hold onto it still, fighting for my children and yours. I fight because I believe America can be what it promises. That promise

What I’ve learned from World Cup Travelers….Did I miss anything?

It seems to me that all the sane old school liberals who now see how radical the Democrat party has become have an obvious home in the Republican Party. They just need slight deprograming of Trump Derangement Syndrome and have to stop obsessing over abortion as their most important issue. Beyond that, we are mostly good to go as long as you love the country. This is the path that so many like myself, @elonmusk @RobertKennedyJr @JillianMichaels @TulsiGabbard and many others have taken. And it’s the only thing that’s gonna save the country.

@VerminusM Deep as 6 feet under I would guess

Not only did Mojito Khamenei not show up at his father's funeral, he didn't even send a recorded message. Not even a note written on a cigarette box. How deep is he hiding?
