And we just paid for 2 million diapers for illegal babies being dumped here. It’s one thing for these people to be jumping the border and it’s another to encourage them by feeding, housing and babysitting their kids. However this would still be going on whether Trump was honoring our vets or not. I think the only option is to close the border, which I wonder if that may be his next move.

“Except after 30 months in office to throw up his hands and blame congress and the courts.”

You want Trump laying bricks himself? Until Congress reigns in these overreaching activist judges nothing he does will get it built.

“Favourite Reagan speech has to be the one he gave to commemorate the D-Day anniversary in 1984.”

My favorite as well.

That speech was written by Peggy Noonan and she still hangs on to that moment of fame all these years later

At the risk of sounding stupid - how would that help? The illegals aren’t coming over at the check-points - which is all “closing the border” would close, right?
The only thing I can see closing the border would do is to make Mexico freak out and maybe do something on their side to shut off the invasion.

What country are you from? You are obviously not an American or you would know that the President Trump, by design, has limited power. This is not the Soviet Union or some ancient kingdom where all power resides in one being.

I’m sick of whining weak minded people who think the president can wave a magic wand and fix everything. If you are not a foreigner then for Gods sake pick up a copy of the Constitution and read it.

I thought I was all screwed up, maybe I am anyway, but isn’t D-day JUNE 6?

First I thought my calendar was wrong so I checked that. Sure enough, today is June 5.

Then I thought I had been mis-remembering the actual date of D-day all these years so I checked that. Sure enough, the correct date for D-day is June 6.

So why are all these people marking the event on June 5 this year? Is that what has been done in the past and I just didn’t notice it?

I thought I was going to be the only one who asked that. Thought I was in a time warp or lost a whole day. I know that yesterday we noted the battle of Midway on June 4.

Churchill wants to sail to France with the D-Day invasion force,

and King George VI, fearful that Churchill will be killed,

privately implores him not to do it, 75 years ago

This is a copy of Churchill's personal typescript draft of 1941’s Atlantic Charter – setting out his and President Roosevelt’s goals for a post-war world.

At today’s DDay75 President Trump read from FDR’s “Mighty Endeavor” WWII prayer – originally read on the radio to the Nation on the evening of June 6, 1944 while Allied troops were fighting on the beaches of Normandy.

The President and The First Lady met D-Day Veterans
