Dangerous Naval Encounter Between U.S. and Russia.
The United States and Russian navies are at odds over an apparent near collision in the Pacific Friday with each side blaming the other.

Mr. President, it's completely disrespectful to call @SpeakerPelosi names while on the hallowed grounds of Normandy. These political attacks were not only disrespectful, but they were wrong.

Possibly A Double Agent?
In a key finding of the Mueller report, Ukrainian businessman Konstantin Kilimnik, who worked for Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, is tied to Russian intelligence.
But hundreds of pages of government documents — which special counsel Robert Mueller possessed since 2018 — describe Kilimnik as a “sensitive” intelligence source for the U.S. State Department who informed on Ukrainian and Russian matters.






Trump floated the idea of a six-figure payment to silence Pelosi during a closed-door meeting in which he asserted that he had done “a million of these deals.” - Andy Borowitz

75 years after D Day

Border Patrol is confiscating migrant kids' medicine, U.S. doctors say
For the past year and a half, Dr. Eric Russell has been traveling from Houston to McAllen, Texas, every three months or so to volunteer at the Catholic Charities Humanitarian Respite Center, a first stop for many asylum-seeking migrants who’ve been released by U.S. Customs and Border Protection in the Rio Grande Valley.
During his most recent visit to the clinic in April, when he saw more than 150 migrants, he noted a troubling new trend: a number of people reported that their medication had been taken from them by U.S. border officials.

Donald Trump came down harder on Bette Midler for tweeting than he did on Saudi crown prince Mohammad bin Salman for literally killing Jamal Khashoggi. - Andrea Junker tweet




Today I do not think of politicians, or even generals. I think of the men on those beaches and the millions back home who knew their names as brothers, sons, fathers, friends and loved ones carrying the fervent hopes of  freedom into the hell of battle. - Dan Rather




Apparently, Trump's "Get Tough" Policy At The Border Isn't Working
U.S. border officers apprehended more than 132,000 people crossing from Mexico in May, an increase over the previous month and the highest monthly level since 2006, reaching what U.S. officials said on Wednesday were "crisis" levels.


Wonder what would happen if Mexico decided to put a tariff on all American products until the US did something about illegal drug usage among American citizens, a problem that directly causes massive crime and violence in Mexico. - Stonekettle tweet



When I look at this picture I see desperate people with little more than the clothes on their backs fleeing from horrible conditions mostly caused by the USA's thirst for drugs. My heart breaks for these people because when they reach our border their families will be separated, medication confiscated and who knows what the hell else happens in there. We've fallen a long way from D Day.

I'm Praying Pelosi Is Using The Old Bait & Switch Strategy
During a back and forth with Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) Tuesday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) pushed back against his request to start an impeachment inquiry, exclaiming: “I don’t want to see him impeached, I want to see him in prison.”
According to Politico, Pelosi meant that she wanted Trump defeated in 2020, then prosecuted for his many alleged crimes.
