NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯@japan_nobunaga·Nov 10In August 1953, as American prisoners of war came home from Korea, a U.S. Army general stood a thin young soldier of Japanese descent in front of the reporters' microphones and told him something the Army had kept secret.He had been awarded the Medal of Honor while he was still a prisoner.They had hidden it on purpose. If his captors had found out, Brig. Gen. Ralph Osborne said, "they might have taken revenge on this young man. He might not have come back."Hiroshi Miyamura was born in Gallup, New Mexico, in 1925, to parents who had come from Japan....

Matthew 'Whiz' Buckley@WhizBuckleyGrp·10hToday I’m honored and humbled to call myself a veteran.Fifteen years in uniform. Combat sorties off the decks of the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Kitty Hawk. Landing Signals Officer (LS). 2 Marine squadrons. TOPGUN adversary. Reserves. Traps on 10 different boats.

That’s why we built...

Clinton responds to Boebert's projected loss While the AP has yet to call a winner in the race for a House seat in Colorado's 4th Congressional District, CNN on Tuesday projected Rep. Lauren Boebert would lose, and Hillary Clinton had two words for her. Clinton posted a screenshot of the CNN headline on X with the caption: "Bye, Felicia." With more than 95% of the vote tallied, Democrat Eileen Laubacher is edging out the Colorado Republican by less than one percentage point. The Hill notes that Clinton and Boebert have clashed before, including during a closed-door House deposition tied to...

An extensive investigative report from The City Journal examined the labor practices connected to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s wine holdings in Napa County. The report, which cites n court records, federal labor data, state oversight files, and interviews with industry sources, focused on the PlumpJack Collection of Wineries and its relationship with a vineyard management contractor. PlumpJack, which Newsom co-founded, holds more than 400 acres of vineyards in Napa. In 2022 the company purchased the 129-acre Oso Vineyard in Pope Valley for $14.5 million. Field operations at Oso are handled by Renteria Vineyard Management (RVM). RVM was established in 1987...

Mexicans throughout Texas are severely mocking Greg Abbott on his election loss, publishing violent/inflammatory comments on social media. One image shows a person pushing someone's wheel chair to the edge of a cliff and throwing the crippled individual over the edge with the comment in Spanish, "Make Texas Great Again". Comment after comment which are very ugly are on one post with this meme. That is only the tip of the iceberg. I have not mocked them nor mistreated them after any election losses nor advocated for their demise. This is more solid evidence why we meed mass deportations. This...

On August 9, 2022, the last face was found.It began small. Janna Hoehn, a floral designer on Maui with no personal tie to the war, visited the Wall, picked a name at random and made a rubbing of it.She wanted a photo of that man and could not find one....

NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯@japan_nobunaga·16hFor years, cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy walked past the quiet old janitor who mopped their floors and cleaned their showers. Most of them gave him little more than a passing nod.In the fall of 1976, a cadet named James Moschgat was reading a book about the fighting in Italy in World War II. On one page he found the story of Hill 424, and a Private William Crawford from Colorado.He turned to his roommate. "Holy cow... I think our janitor is a Medal of Honor winner."On September 13, 1943, near Altavilla, Italy, Private Bill Crawford's company was...

NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯@japan_nobunaga·14hIn 1944, thousands of Japanese on Saipan hid in caves, sure the Americans would torture them if they came out. Many families chose the cliffs instead.An 18-year-old American Marine from East Los Angeles walked up to those caves at night, alone, and called to them in Japanese.His name was Guy Gabaldon. He was a Mexican American kid who had grown up partly in the home of a Japanese American family, the Nakanos. That is where he picked up his Japanese. When the war came, the Nakanos were sent to internment camps. Their twin sons, Lane and Lyle, joined the U.S....

The agency has already had to increase security after six vandalism incidents in three months. Video and photos from the scene show individuals in tactical gear and fatigues marked “NOT A COP” standing with long guns and “Abolish ICE” banners near the building. Amid unverified reports of an increased ICE presence in Scarborough, several protesters have posted up outside the ICE facility with ARs. Chellie Pingree reacted to the reports of increased ICE presence: "This cruel, chaotic, and out-of-control agency needs to be abolished. And we need ICE out of Maine. Period." The protester pictured below has been stationed outside...

A TheoryBy Laz A. Mataz — November 22, 1999I propose to show you all how JFK, Dallas, the Lindberg Baby, Dana Plato, Route 77, UFO's, the doomed flights 800 and Swiss Air 111, "Clandestine Luciferian Masons" or (CLuMs for short), the Atlantic Ocean, Larry King, neckties, Francis Bacon, Marshall Ney, and lemon-flavored taffy all add up to the biggest and most compelling conspiracy ever recorded in human history.Let us begin at the beginning:HOW DOES JOHN FITZGERALD KENNEDY, SENIOR FIT?JFK's murder was a Luciferian Masonic human sacrifice. Dallas was picked as the site of sacrifice because it is located close to...

A key Russiagate lawyer known for his bare-knuckle election and legal tactics has landed at the center of the alleged Democrat plot in the Alaska Senate race to recruit a decoy candidate to siphon votes from their Republican opponent.Marc Elias departed from the Perkins Coie law firm in 2021 and set up his own firm, catering to Democratic Party candidates. About the same time, the Justice Department was investigating its role in the Steele Dossier and its Trump-Russia collusion allegations, and he could face questions about the role his law firm played in representing multiple participants in the alleged scheme...

sportified@sportified25A strike team of undercover operatives broke into a nondescript commercial warehouse in an industrial district of southern Tehran with high-heat blowtorches, slicing through thirty-two massive steel safes in complete darkness, loading half a ton of top-secret blueprints, test videos, and nuclear warhead schematics onto ordinary delivery trucks and smuggling them out of the country before the morning guards arrived.The reason might surprise you.Following the signing of the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal (JCPOA), Iranian authorities faced a critical dilemma:To satisfy international inspectors from the IAEA while preserving the core engineering knowledge of their covert nuclear weapons initiative, Project Amad, officials...

Alina Habba Mildon, one of President Trump’s former lawyers, was fired last week by the family company that gave her a $50 million contract weeks before Mr. Trump granted a pardon to the family’s patriarch. In a letter dated Nov. 4, the company, Concord Partners, terminated Mrs. Mildon citing a “failure to perform duties,” according to a person close to the family and documents obtained by The New York Times. The person said Mrs. Mildon’s priorities appeared to shift away from Concord after she started dating Turhan Mildon, a 25-year-old Turkish investor, earlier this year. The firing came days after...

President Trump was told aboard Air Force One in May en route to China that the United States had obtained sensitive intelligence showing that Nvidia’s chief executive was in a relationship with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, people with knowledge of the matter said. The message was delivered by Marco Rubio, his secretary of state and national security adviser, shortly before the Nvidia leader, Jensen Huang, joined the presidential trip to Beijing at Mr. Trump’s invitation. It marked at least the second time in seven months that the president had been told of intelligence about Mr. Huang’s...

A massive Bruce Springsteen fan club, with nearly 20,000 members on Facebook alone, has shut down as its members have been caught in constant cycle of bickering over Springsteen’s left-wing politics, especially since his endorsement of Michigan Democrat Senator-Elect Abdul El-Sayed. The Spring-Nuts fan club has announced that it is ending its operations and has told its more than 18,000 Facebook members that they will have to look elsewhere to indulge their support of the “Born in the USA” singer thanks to Springsteen’s constant political activism that has the fans at each other’s throats, according to reports. “As Bruce became...

President Donald Trump went to bat for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Monday, despite the latter’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy. When asked about the allegations during a White House press briefing, Trump said that he will not bring up the case with President Xi Jinping when the two meet next week. He added, “I just know Jensen very well. I think he is a very honorable man. He built a great company. American company. I think he’s a very honorable guy. I feel very confident that he will be in good shape.” Trump was later asked to put a...

Jewels Jones ®@JewelsJonesLive·3hPete Hegseth handed America's war colleges 33 DIRECTIVES this morning. By Wednesday the House has to take a floor vote on impeaching him.He announced them to the students of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. On the war colleges' own mission statements: "The word 'win' is entirely absent. The word 'defeat' does not appear."So the 80-page thesis is out. Competitive war games and exams are in. New civilian faculty get three-year contracts, not lifetime tenure. Colonels fresh off an operational command get a Warfighter Chair at every senior college. The war games and the chairs are...

2 minute video at the linkWall Street Apes@WallStreetApes·16hAmerican converted to Islam and then realized the real plan was to bring down America from within“When I converted to Islam, I was treated really well by the Muslims. And this is the honest truth. They showed me nothing but love and respect up until like a month in. And that was the first time I heard people talking about Islam is going to enter every household in America. And there's a plan, a 100 year plan.So I started doing my own research. It got me to a book published in 1991 by...

ransomnote: For Free Repubilc's language rules, I've replaced a word with '[redacted]'.InfantryDort@infantrydort·52mNah man. I’m not gonna let this go unchecked. As a GWOT veteran I can’t.I listened to Massie drone through his articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth and I recognized the sickness immediately.We fought under this ridiculous worldview during GWOT, and it cost us dearly.Massie is merely an acolyte of the bloodless bureaucratic religion that puts the lawyer in the center of the kill chain, treats every American use of force like a moral emergency, and somehow always finds more sympathy for the enemy being hunted than for the...
