    He didn't kill himself. That was a body double. Hitler took a U-Boat to Argentina.

    May 12, 1863...the Battle of Raymond, Mississippi. Visit Raymond if you get a chance. I've been there twice. They've done a remarkable job of preservation and interpretation there.

    May 16, 1863 - The Battle of Champion Hill aka Baker's Creek. The ground it was fought over changed hands 3-4 times. The defeated Confederate troops were forced to retreat to Vicksburg.

    Exclamation D-Day. June 6, 1944

    On June 6, 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline, to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory.” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, the Allies gained a foot-hold in Continental Europe. The cost in lives on D-Day was high. More than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 Soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Adolf Hitler’s crack troops.

    The Biden regime, in concert with the Mexican drug cartels supports an invasion force of nearly 100,000 people into the US every week.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
