Thanks, Ransom.

Today is the day after D-Day.

D+1

Mean anything?

I think about all the paratroopers, glider troops and ground-pounders who were fighting through the night to re-group and find their units. Or at least find Allied units before they found the Germans.

I imagine they looked forward to the dawn because it meant the long night was over, but feared the dawn for the exposure light would bring in the fight ahead.

God bless the Warriors!

As shown in the longest day, there wasn’t that much night to speak of. Sun currently setting at 22:58 in Vierville (it’s still light!) and comes up at 05:58 in the morning.

Hi KitJ!

Joining you in thoughts regarding the amazing significance of that 75th D Day anniversary celebration. What an amazing people, young and old, joined together to celebrate on that day. What an amazing feat and example the young people of the US and the Allies performed on those beaches.

DIG ON “D+” and “DAY”, AS IT MIGHT BE RELEVANT TO YOUR ABOVE COMMENT

I’m guessing the day after the 75th Anniversary of Day means a lot because of events unfolding before us...however:

I searched for “D+” in the Qmap.pub, and was unable to find any relevant stand alone references to “D+[some number]”

I was surprised, because I thought I also recalled something like a D+ equation/reference of some kind.

Here is what I did find, and in the course of my investigation, discovered the following which may be of interest:

#2629
[D] Day, Patriots
19 Dec 2018 - 5:23:03 PM
[D] Day, Patriots.
We will have our Country back!
Q+

WOW - D DAY is not only the day our nation and allies began the liberation of Eupore. Q indicates that it is D Day that WE HAVE OUR COUNTRY BACK!

I found a stand alone “d+” in #1944 [now that number is interesting! ]
but it is in the phrase “d+foreign,” indicating “Foreign and Domestic”

I searched then for “DAY,” hoping to find more references to D Day. This excerpt, slightly off our topic, caught my eye while glancing through the search results.

We might consider bracing ourselves for possible upcoming strife surrounding Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. RBG’s book shows the radical orientation of her views, some of which Q cites in the drop. I wonder if the Dim Prez Runners are using her work as a template of what they are seeking to grab the nomination.

Q references her book:
Ref: 230-page book called Sex Bias in the U.S. Code, published in 1977 by the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Excerpt from #2653:
“...>Cast constitutional doubt on the legality of “Mother’s Day and Father’s Day as separate holidays.” (Page 146)...”

We are certainly seeing this in recent days:

Excerpt From #2653:

“...>Condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling in Harris v. McRae and claimed that taxpayer-funded abortions should be a constitutional right.
