The people who wanted Jimmy Kimmel to be fired over a melania joke are suddenly ok with a UFC fighter's disgusting 'joke' about Michelle Obama on White House grounds.

June 16, 1984 | Reds at Braves “You can’t throw a baseball at a guy from 5 feet and stay in the ballgame and you can’t charge a pitcher and try to fight him and stay in the ballgame. Both deserve to be out of the game.” — Pete Van Wieren

Republicans have controlled every branch of Ohio government for over 15 years

So glad he’s getting excellent government funded care after spending his entire political career trying to block everyone else from having the same.

🚨 THIS MAY HAVE BEEN THE MOST EMBARRASSING MOMENT FOR THE US NARRATIVE YET 😭🔥 🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth: “We’ve controlled the Strait this whole time.” 🇺🇸 Journalist Margaret: “Then why the hell has Trump spent 102 days begging Iran to reopen it?” 👀⚠️ And just like that… Pete completely froze. 😭 No answer. No explanation. Just awkward silence and word salad. 🍿🔥 The clip is now exploding online because it exposed the contradiction in seconds: “If America already controlled everything… why was Washington negotiating with Tehran nonstop?” 🤨 Absolute destruction on live television.

“So let me get this straight: You started a war, got people killed, torched billions of dollars, threatened global oil supplies & ended up with basically the same deal I had - except Iran gets way more money. And I’m the one you call weak?? 😂😂😂”

Oh I definitely get it now:

Thank god Trump negotiated a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after it was already open before he started the fucking war that closed it.

Lots of guys can make impressive dunks, but only a chosen few can consistently get this funky during actual league action. They called Dominique Wilkins “The Human Highlight Film” for a reason, son.

It's crazy to me that that Trump is throwing himself a $60 million birthday party when the American people can't afford gas due to a war that HE started. The disconnect is ASTONISHING.

Rick Monday mimicking Tommy Lasorda in the Dodgers dugout 😂

Note to anyone angry that Trump's name was taken off the Kennedy Center, don't you worry. You can still find his name in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

This is real football not like the pussies of today in the NFL. Larry Csonka was a bad ass.

Yesterday the paratroopers took Carentan. On June 13, 1944, the Germans came to take it back, and the men of Easy Company found themselves minutes away from being wiped off the map. This is the fight the survivors remembered as Bloody Gulch. A quick recap. Carentan was the town that linked the two American invasion beaches, Utah and Omaha. Without it, the D-Day landings stayed a set of separate, vulnerable pockets. The 101st Airborne had bled to capture it on June 12. But capturing a place and holding it are two different things, and the Germans were not willing to let it go. On the morning of June 13, the Germans counterattacked southwest of the town with a serious force, the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division reinforced by the tough paratroopers of the 6th Parachute Regiment, supported by assault guns and armor. The exhausted, lightly armed American paratroopers, who had no tanks of their own, were holding a thin line across open hedgerow country. The blow landed hard. The German armor and infantry pushed the American line back toward Carentan. Paratroopers fought from hedgerow to hedgerow with rifles, machine guns, and bazookas against vehicles that outgunned anything they carried. Ammunition ran low. The position grew so desperate that men were preparing for the possibility that the town would be lost again, and with it the link between the beaches. Then came the rescue, and it came on tracks. Unknown to the Germans, the Americans had just managed to get armor across into the beachhead. Combat Command A of the 2nd Armored Division, Shermans and mechanized infantry, had been rushed toward Carentan overnight. At the critical moment they hit the German flank with tanks and a storm of artillery and mobile gunfire. The counterattack that had been about to break through was itself broken. The German force, lacking the strength to trade blows with American armor, was thrown back with heavy losses. Carentan stayed in American hands for good. That was the real significance of June 13. June 12 won the town. June 13 was the day the Germans tried to erase that victory and failed. From that point on, Utah and Omaha were permanently joined, and the Normandy beachhead was one solid, continuous front that Germany could no longer split apart. Two things stay with you about this fight. The paratroopers were never supposed to be fighting tanks at all. Airborne troops are meant to seize objectives and be relieved within days. Instead they were holding the line against a panzer division with whatever they could carry on their backs, and they held just long enough. And the timing of the armor's arrival was so close that veterans talked about it for the rest of their lives. A few hours later and Carentan might have fallen. The war in Normandy was decided in places like this, by men who never knew if help would arrive before they were overrun. It did. Just barely. That is what June 13, 1944 looked like on the ground.

Today is the day to flood Twitter with this birthday card.

On the morning of June 6, 1944, Lt. Dick Winters had already survived one disaster before the sun came up. His C-47 roared over Normandy through a wall of flak, flying too fast and too low. He jumped anyway. The prop blast ripped his leg bag clean off, taking his rifle, his ammo, and most of his gear. He hit the ground in occupied France armed with a knife in his boot. Most men in that situation hide. Winters started walking toward the sound of the war. By dawn he had scavenged a rifle, collected a handful of scattered paratroopers, and learned that his company commander's plane had gone down with everyone aboard. Just like that, a quiet lieutenant from Pennsylvania who didn't drink, didn't curse, and wrote letters home about wanting to find a peaceful farm someday was in command of Easy Company. A few hours later a battalion officer gave him one of the great understated orders in military history. German fire was coming from a farm called Brecourt Manor, hammering the troops coming off Utah Beach. The order was basically: there's fire along that hedgerow, take care of it. What was actually there: four 105mm howitzers dug into a hedgerow network, connected by zigzag trenches, covered by machine guns, and defended by roughly 60 German troops. The guns were dropping shells directly on causeway exit 2, where thousands of Americans were trying to get off the beach. Every minute those guns fired, men died in the sand. Winters had 12. He did not charge. He crawled forward alone to study the position, then briefed his men like he had all the time in the world. Machine guns here to pin the defenders. Compton, Guarnere, and Malarkey crawling along the flank. Hit the first gun with grenades and speed from a direction the Germans never expected. It worked almost exactly as drawn. The first gun fell in minutes. Then his men used the German trenches as a highway, rolling up the battery one gun at a time, beating back counterattacks, and dropping blocks of TNT down the barrels to destroy them for good. In the middle of the firefight, Don Malarkey spotted what he thought was a Luger on a dead German and sprinted into open ground to grab it. The German machine gunners held their fire, apparently deciding that anyone that reckless had to be a medic. He made it back alive. It wasn't even a Luger. At the second gun, Winters found something better than a pistol: a German map showing every artillery and machine gun position covering Utah Beach. He sent it up the chain immediately. On the most important morning of the war, a 26-year-old lieutenant had just handed the Allies the enemy's entire defensive layout for the sector. When reinforcements under Lt. Ronald Speirs arrived, they stormed the fourth and final gun. About three hours after it started, the battery was silent and the exits off Utah Beach were open for thousands of men who will never know his name. The cost: one American killed, a few wounded. The Germans lost around 15 dead and a dozen captured. Winters received the Distinguished Service Cross and later said the best decoration he ever got was a sergeant telling him years later that his men trusted him with their lives. The assault on Brecourt Manor is still studied at West Point as a textbook example of a small unit destroying a fixed position. Around 60 defenders. Four guns. Twelve paratroopers and a lieutenant who started D-Day with nothing but a knife. If it sounds familiar, it should. This is the same Easy Company from Band of Brothers. The difference is that none of it was fiction. And when Winters was asked decades later if he was a hero, he gave the answer that still gets quoted at his statue in Normandy: "No. But I served in a company of heroes."
