Raise the 48 Star Flag and put on the Longest Day or Saving Private Ryan. Its time to remember one of the greatest military events in all of history and an invasion which will never be eclipsed. That day when so many brave and very young men walked into hell, they should never be forgotten.

Roger Kamba, Minister of Public Health for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), complained on Friday that travel restrictions against his country due to the Ebola outbreak are “discriminatory” and cannot be justified by science or medicine. United States imposed travel restrictions in May, announcing that travelers from the DRC, Uganda, and South Sudan would not be allowed into the United States if they lack U.S. passports. American passport holders, green card holders, and service members inbound from the Ebola outbreak region were required to “undergo enhanced public health screening” and were required to enter the U.S. at one...

How well do you think you know the Judeo-Christian roots of our nation? About 25 years ago, for the first time, I met author/speaker William J. (Bill) Federer, who knows them very well. I have interviewed him multiple times since. Bill is the author of the classic book, America’s God and Country, which contains quotes from the settlers and founders of America, documenting beyond a reasonable doubt that this nation was uniquely shaped by the Bible.

Some of Maine Gov. Janet Mills’ most ardent supporters are encouraging her to reactivate her suspended Senate campaign as fellow Democrat Graham Platner faces new allegations of “toxic” behavior toward three ex-girlfriends, which he has denied. But while the latest allegations about Platner’s past have jolted uneasy members of the party, that encouragement hasn’t amounted to an organized effort to promote her in Tuesday’s primary, according to conversations with more than a dozen Democrats in state and national politics. Former state Sen. Lynn Bromley told NBC News that she directly encouraged Mills, whose name remains on the ballot, to jump...

After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail. To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people. Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now. See you Monday.

Ukraine launched one of its largest drone offensives of the war overnight into June 6, sending more than 400 unmanned aircraft deep into Russian territory and striking targets that included a naval weapons depot near Saint Petersburg, an oil refinery in Siberia, a port in Russian-occupied Mariupol, and munitions warehouses in the Leningrad region. Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed its air defenses shot down 376 of the incoming drones, a figure that, if accurate, still left dozens reaching their intended targets across a geographic spread stretching from the Baltic coast to western Siberia. The attacks came on the final day of...

Downing Street has hit out at "people trying to interfere in our democracy and seeking to stir up division", after JD Vance's comments on the murder of Henry Nowak. The US vice-president blamed the death of the 18-year-old British student, who was fatally stabbed last year in Southampton by Vickrum Digwa, on the "mass invasion of migrants" and said the "only response" was "righteous anger". After the post on X, the Downing Street spokesman said the Nowak family had "said they do not want his death to be used to create further division". "Our politics should bring people together even...

"Putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness . . . receive the word" (James 1:21). You cannot receive God’s Word and harbor sin at the same time. When the psalmist said, "I have restrained my feet from every evil way, that I may keep Thy word" (Ps. 119:101), he was acknowledging a key principle of spiritual growth: you must set aside sin if you expect to benefit from God's Word. Peter was expressing the same thought when he said, "Putting aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisy and envy and all slander, like newborn babes, long...

Essayli: ‘Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities’ First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli confirmed Friday that his office is conducting multiple active election fraud investigations in coordination with the FBI’s Los Angeles field office. In a public statement, Essayli said: “Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office. California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding public confidence.” Without naming specific cases, Essayli pledged to...

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) confirmed a second case of a flesh-eating screwworm parasite in Texas on Friday, as it races to contain and eradicate the outbreak before it severely impacts the cattle population. A New World screwworm was detected in a one-month-old calf in Zavala County after testing a “number of suspected cases,” according to USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). It was found less than six miles away from the ranch where the pest was reported in another young calf earlier this week. ( Snip ) The New World screwworm is a species of parasitic...

The longer we go without oil from the Persian Gulf, the less we’ll need it, says Christopher Smart for the New York Times. Whatever peace agreement the United States and Iran may cobble together, there will be no quick return to pre-war energy flows through the Strait of Hormuz. Even after the mines are cleared, it will take a brave tanker captain to trust that the passage is once again secure - and higher insurance costs could raise the price of that trip by millions. But with every passing day, the world is learning to live without the Gulf’s seaborne...

This week, Former New York Times reporter Paul Krugman said "we really need to do a thorough purging of the United States. We need a de-MAGAfication similar to the de-Nazification that we pursued successfully after World War II in Germany." "The purge can be done peacefully like the one Stalin carried out in the 1930s to rid the Soviet Union of counterrevolutionaries or violently like the one carried out by Lenin in the years following the Russian Revolution," Krugman suggested. "Trump's MAGA minions know they are guilty of trying to undo the transformation of the United States initiated by former...

Fifty-five years ago this month, I was sitting in a seminary commencement service like this one, ready to receive my degree. One of my professors was giving the address. The title of his message was this: “Remember the Rich Young Man.” And to help us remember, he gave each of us a one-dollar bill. I don’t recall whether it was his suggestion or not, but I took that one-dollar bill home and said to Noël, “I want to keep this in front of me for the rest of my life.” So, she decoupaged it for me and it has been...

In a new ruling released on Friday, a federal judge held that the Trump administration agency that oversees lawful U.S. immigration must stop enforcing several policies that paused adjudication of certain immigration-benefit applications. 1*On June 5, 2026, a federal judge in Rhode Island struck down four USCIS policies that paused or delayed certain immigration benefit decisions for applicants from 39 travel ban countries.✅ The court declared four USCIS policies unlawful and vacated them: pic.twitter.com/KrUIxLYRVn— AK Poku Law, PLLC (@greencard1awyer) June 5, 2026The decision came Friday morning in a voluminous order written by Rhode Island's U.S. District Court Chief Judge, John...

Daily Readings from the USCCB“Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” Mark 12:43–44How generous are you? This is a challenging question, yet one worth considering. Does your generosity reflect God’s boundless generosity? Do you struggle with selfishness and greed, failing to live out the Gospel call to poverty, detachment, and charity? Most people likely fall short of this ideal. Acknowledging this, though difficult, is an act...

Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan has introduced travel bans on Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, Taoiseach Micheál Martin has confirmed. Mr. Ben-Gvir is the Israeli national security minister, while Mr. Smotrich is the minister for finance. The Taoiseach was speaking at the EU-Western Balkans Summit in the city of Tivat in Montenegro. Mr. Martin said the ministers’ actions and words “amount to a desire to see the elimination of Palestinians from Palestine”. He added that he believes that there should be further EU measures introduced against them. …

In the chaotic aftermath of Los Angeles’s mayoral primary, a familiar pattern has emerged. Late mail-in ballots have dramatically narrowed Spencer Pratt’s lead over Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, raising serious questions about the reliability and fairness of California’s vote-by-mail system. While incumbent Mayor Karen Bass appears headed to the November runoff, the battle for second place has become a case study in how elections can shift under the cover of extended counting. This is not merely a procedural hiccup. With tens of thousands of ballots still outstanding, Raman has gained ground through batches that heavily favor Democrats, shrinking...
