BREAKING UPDATE: The two illegal aliens who attempted to m*rder an NYPD detective have been ARRESTED.
They were found hiding in the basement of a home in Lynn, MA, a sanctuary city that bans local police from working with ICE.
ICE has placed detainers on both of them.
Democrats are literally trying to protect these foreign criminals.
MORE ILLEGAL ALIEN CRIME
The two suspects wanted for the attempted m*rder of an NYPD detective are ILLEGAL ALIENS from the Dominican Republic, per @billmelugin_
Mejia Bautista and Dangelo Rafael Jean Caraballo both illegally entered the country under Biden, and both have LONG criminal histories.
Because of Democrats, we now have foreign killers terrorizing our country.

In 1772, the colonists had no right to trees over 12" thick, not even if it was in their front yard.
A law reserved every white pine that size for the Royal Navy's masts. Surveyors roamed New Hampshire slashing a mark into the trees, claiming them for the King of England.
The mill owners of Weare ignored the law and cut the trees they wanted to. So the sheriff rode out to arrest them and collect the fines.
The Weare men blackened their faces and went after the sheriff in what is now called the Pine Tree Riot. They gave him a lash for every tree he'd charged them for. Then they cropped the ears and tails off his horses and sent him riding out of town through a jeering crowd.
Before the Boston Tea Party and the Boston Massacre, a New Hampshire town defied the Crown.
And the pine tree symbol remained. When Washington needed a flag for his first warships in 1775, he put a New England pine on it, over the words "An Appeal to Heaven."
This turned something that the King used to tyrannize the colonists to support his Navy, into a symbol of a country defying him on their own Navy.

ICE arrested a 20-year-old Haitian illegal immigrant in Fall River charged with sex crimes and extortion. Two months ago 26 Trinitarios gang members were indicted for 5 murders and 19 attempted murders. Over 1,400 arrests in Massachusetts this year including murderers, rapists, drug traffickers, and child predators. Governor Healey looked at all of that and signed a bill today making ICE's job harder. She is not protecting Massachusetts. She is protecting the people threatening it. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Maura Healey is the public safety threat.

Residents on Plum Island are outraged they've been ordered to NOT fly the U.S. flag on July 4th or face heavy fines by liberals in the town of Newbury, MA. A flag doesn't threaten allegedly protected shorebirds. They're using this as an excuse to ban the flag. DEFY THEM! #mapoli
Newton Fire Department’s Annual Firefighter Sunday. Along with honoring their members who passed away over the past year; they honored members who passed away prior to retirement. My grandfather was one of 42 Newton Firefighters since WW2 who passed away far too young.
May they all continue to rest in eternal peace.
Great job by Newton Fire, hopefully no more names are added to the plaque.

THANK YOU!!!
General Omar Bradley called it the most dangerous mission of D-Day. He was not wrong.
At 6:30am on June 6, 1944, 225 Army Rangers approached a 100-foot sheer cliff face on the Normandy coast called Pointe du Hoc.
Their mission: climb it.
The cliff was vertical. The Germans were at the top with full visibility of everyone below. As the Rangers fired grappling hooks upward, the Germans cut the ropes. Shot the men hanging on them. Dropped grenades over the edge onto the climbers beneath.
The Rangers kept climbing.
It took roughly 40 minutes. Men fell. Men were shot off the ropes. The ones behind them grabbed the ropes and kept going.
They reached the top.
Then came the gut punch: the massive 155mm artillery guns they had been sent to destroy were gone. The Germans had moved them inland before the invasion. The entire mission had been sent to destroy guns that weren't there.
Most commanders would have regrouped and called it done.
The Rangers fanned out. Two miles inland, they found the guns, hidden in an orchard, already aimed at Utah Beach and loaded to fire. They destroyed every one with thermite grenades.
Then they dug in. Cut off, with almost no ammunition, no reinforcements, and no resupply, 225 men held Pointe du Hoc against relentless German counterattacks for two full days.
When relief finally arrived, only 90 Rangers could still stand and fight.
Their names are carved on a memorial in Normandy. Most Americans today cannot name a single one.

No bill would be needed in Massachusetts if there was nothing to hide.
The Massachusetts House passed controversial bill H 5469, gutting the voter approved 2024 legislative audit and rewriting public records rules, with zero public hearing and barely 24 hours for anyone to even read it.
The final vote was 125-28.
Vast majority of Democrats voted yes.
Only three Democrats voted NO: Reps. Michael Connolly, Steve Hawkins, and Alan Silvia.
As Rep. Connolly said: “I mean, the headline almost writes itself, right? ‘Legislature passes transparency bill out of the cover of darkness.’”
The Governor’s office, Legislature, AND Judiciary are all exempt from public records laws. This bill gives the Governor’s office some access… while the Legislature keeps protecting itself from real oversight.
Look, the only way we’re ever going to get the full audit we voted for is to start replacing every single one of them who voted for this garbage.
As I stated yesterday, this vote went almost entirely along party lines. I would have been another vote against this bill.

The annual Pentecost tradition (today!) at Rome's Pantheon is a moment of extraordinary beauty.
It occurs every year on the seventh Sunday after Easter. At noon, after the Holy Mass, thousands of rose petals are dropped through the oculus of the mighty dome.
As the petals fall, a choir sings "Veni Sancte Spiritus," known as the Golden Sequence, a masterpiece of sacred Latin poetry.
This is to celebrate the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Virgin Mary and the Apostles.
The rose petal ritual likely dates back to 607 AD when the pagan temple became a Christian church.
RIP BK!

Iwo Jima veterans Billy Byrd (100) and Don Graves (101) flew to Washington, D.C., where they will serve as Honorary Grand Marshals for the National Memorial Day Parade. 🇺🇸
The first thing they did when they saw each other? Started talking trash.
Some things never change. 🤣

The Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates met yesterday to discuss an ordinance aimed at further restricting ICE operations on Cape Cod.
This man said what millions of Americans are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud:
“I am not an uncompassionate individual. But my generosity has been abused, and I am sick of it! I am sick of being treated as an indentured servant to foreign nationals in my country and in my community. And I don't give a damn whose feelings that hurts.”
There was a whole lot of pear-clutching afterward.

Smokey and the Bandit turns 49 today. If it weren’t for a space saga from a galaxy far, far away, it would’ve been '77’s biggest hit. Burt Reynolds starred, but Jackie Gleason flat-out steals the movie. Now, gimme a diablo sandwich and a Dr Pepper, ’cause I’m in a goddamn hurry.
