US Marine Veteran Dies Alone, but Not Forgotten
Posted By: ladydawgfan, 6/20/2024 6:54:07 PM
Gerry Brooks was one of our nation's heroes. A Marine - I have it on good authority from friends who served in the Corps that there are no former Marines, only Marines who are no longer on active duty - Gerry was a widower, apparently with no family, and when he passed away at age 86 in a nursing home in Augusta, Maine, nobody showed up to claim his body or make funeral arrangements. But it didn't end there. The funeral home posted a notice asking if anyone in the community would be willing to serve as a pallbearer, or even to attend his funeral. The response was overwhelming.

Fox News host Jimmy Failla is a former cab driver turned stand-up comedian who often appears on Greg Gutfeld’s show, titled appropriately enough, “Gutfeld!” The funnyman released a mock commercial this week that Donald Trump shared on the eve of his scheduled presidential debate showdown with failed incumbent Joe Biden.
I often argue that comedy and mockery are some of the best ways to expose the failings of bumbling leaders like Joe Biden, and this fake ad has it in spades. Parodying the countless drug commercials we see constantly on our televisions, the spot touts the fictional pharmaceutical “BIDENICA” as the solution to all your insomnia problems.

As we have been reporting, there have been far too many rapes and murders of women across America by illegal aliens, as the Biden administration points the blame at the GOP for not passing the "border bill," knowing full well that Biden could seal the border through executive order if he wanted to.
Following the assault and murder of 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray by two illegal aliens from Venezuela, a Fox News reporter tried asking Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) about the incident and wanted to get her thoughts on the situation before she was immediately shut down and dismissed.
REPORTER: May I ask you quickly about the 12-year-old girl in Houston
Joe Biden has finally emerged from his week in hiding, hunkered down doing debate preparation.
So far, I'm not seeing much change in the "physical" — he was still doing that weird, stilted walk that he does to make it to the plane, and he's still using the short stairs. [Tweet, video]
Notice Fox talks about the reports that Joe Biden's team wanted to have him sit down during the debate. CNN later denied that was the case, but Fox was asking if the bar was almost set too low for Biden — will they declare he won if he's just able to stand up?
Even before Joe Biden took office in 2021, immigrants started flooding the southern border in record numbers. Biden promptly laid out the welcome mat, creating a historic border crisis. The illegal immigrants who came into this country brought a lot of crime with them. Recently, there have been numerous high-profile cases of rape and murder involving women and children, justifiably prompting criticism of Biden for allowing these criminals into the country.
In response, the Biden administration is accusing President Donald Trump of exploiting the southern border crisis and twisting the facts to score political points ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
Tucker Carlson has given us another must-see moment. This time, you just have to see how he destroyed a "journalist'" while he was on a speaking tour in Australia. The reporter clearly had no idea what she was in for when she tried to challenge Carlson's views on "replacement theory" by completely making up what he had said on the issue.
"So you talked a little bit about immigration, and in the past, you've talked about how white Australians, Americans, and Europeans, are being replaced by non-white immigrants in what is often referred to as the great replacement theory," she claimed.
As she attempted to continue with her question, Carlson interrupted,
Tone-deaf Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Wednesday shrugged off attempts to blame Biden’s border policy for the horrific slaughter of Americans at the hands of illegal migrants, saying, “The individual who is responsible for a heinous criminal act is the criminal.”
His comment during a press conference from a Border Patrol aircraft hangar in Tucson, Arizona — some 70 miles from the nearest border crossing — came in response to a question about 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray, who was brutalized and murdered in Houston, allegedly by two Venezuelan migrants who were released into the US earlier this year.
“We screen and vet individuals when we encounter them,” he said.
A mom has claimed she was booted off a United Airlines flight with her distressed 16-month-old son over using the wrong pronoun for a flight attendant.
Jenna Longoria was expecting to fly to Austin from San Francisco on Wednesday with her mom and son when United stopped them from traveling.
She alleges she was denied boarding after an 'accidental' mix-up when addressing a United staff member, who she says refused to accept her apology.
The frantic mom also alleged the flight had taken off with her luggage containing her and her mom's medication still on board, leaving at risk of becoming 'very sick' while stranded.
There’s no one else quite like Donald Trump.
What other candidate in American history would start polling his audience, live, as Trump did this weekend in Philadelphia, on what his debate strategy against President Biden should be?
“How should I handle him? Should I be tough and nasty?” Trump said, then took on a comically tough-guy voice.
“Should I be tough and nasty and just say ‘you’re the worst president in history’?”
The crowd roared.
“Or should I be nice and calm . . .”
Boos rained down.
“. . . and let him speak?”
Let no one accuse The Post of taking Trump literally but not figuratively. We know it was a bit.
President Biden’s latest student loan bailout was blocked Monday by federal judges in Kansas and Missouri following a lawsuit from several Republican-led states.
The nationwide preliminary injunctions issued by US District Judges Daniel Crabtree in Kansas and John Ross in Missouri – both appointees of former President Barack Obama – prevent the Biden administration from canceling any more federal student debt for borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan.
The 81-year-old president’s Education Department will also be barred from implementing new SAVE plan provisions while the litigation plays out.
The judges did not call for debt relief already handed out to be clawed back.
The so-called “conspiracy theorists” have put together an impressive winning streak and they’ve once again been proven right, this time about illegal aliens voting in the 2024 election.
Republicans are very concerned about the impact of President Joe Biden’s “newcomers” on the upcoming election, the most critical in the nation’s history, and House Republicans have introduced an “election integrity” bill to require that proof of citizenship be required to register to vote.
But despite denials and ridicule over GOP concerns that illegal aliens could vote, the truth is that nearly every state provides voter registration forms to non-citizens without proof of citizenship, according to the New York Post.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) may often give the appearance of someone who’s off their meds but she’s just bat guano crazy, especially when it comes to former President Donald J. Trump.
The octogenarian Democrat has been even more delusional than she normally is as of late with it looking increasingly likely that Trump will be able to overcome her party’s lawfare and return to the White House, a possibility that has “Auntie Maxine” spewing conspiracy theories on MSNBC.

Despite being reportedly worth upwards of $10 million, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden have refinanced their Delaware home multiple times over the last few years.
The constant refinancing has raised questions about the fast cash provided by the renegotiated loans on the Delaware properties which the Daily Mail noted occurred “an astonishing 35 times.”
Since 1975, the Bidens have lived in two houses in Delaware with their first property in Wilmington being sold in the 1990s. The couple reportedly secured a “new mortgage or credit deal on both homes every 17 months,” according to the outlet.

Pope Francis has denounced the arrogance of those who seek dominion over nature, which leads to the degradation of the environment. (snip) To claim the right to possess and dominate nature “represents a form of idolatry,” Francis declares, “a Promethean version of man who, intoxicated by his technocratic power, arrogantly places the earth in a ‘dis-graced’ condition, deprived of God’s grace.” (snip) This past April, Pope Francis told CBS News that climate change deniers are “stupid” to refute compelling evidence of a climate emergency.
“Some people are stupid (necios), and stupid even if you show them research, they don’t believe it,” the pontiff told CBS Evening News anchor Norah O’Donnell
Abortion giant Planned Parenthood announced it is spending $40 million to prop up 81-year-old President Joe Biden and Democrats in key congressional races ahead of November, The Hill reported.
The organization, which was founded by an infamous racist with ties to the eugenics movement, made the announcement on Monday to coincide with the second anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision. The Dobbs decision overturned the court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision — which had invented a constitutional right to abortion for 50 years — and returned the issue of abortion to individual states.
The Washington Post ran a lengthy article last week bemoaning the fact that AI (artificial intelligence) is sucking up so much power that it’s already straining the nation’s electric grid and is bad for the environment. Seriously? So, how will the grid be able to handle the millions of electric cars environmentalists want to force on the road? The answer might shock you.
The Post reports that:

Democratic senator Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.) is sponsoring legislation to tackle so-called shrinkflation, saying that corporations "prey on consumers" by stealthily shrinking the quantity of snacks, toilet paper, and other consumer products to pad their bottom line. Whitehouse also holds hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock in those same corporations, according to a review of his portfolio.
In announcing his sponsorship of the Shrinkflation Prevention Act, Whitehouse cited a report from Senate Democrats that shames several alleged practitioners of shrinkflation, (snip) Whitehouse and his wife own between $303,000 and $910,000 in shares of the firms identified in the Senate report,
Sixteen Nobel Prize-winning economists — all unabashed liberals — have unleashed a partisan attack against Donald Trump on the eve of the first presidential debate.
In a letter released Wednesday, the economists claim that former President Donald Trump could stoke inflation if he wins the presidency in November and implements his economic plans. It’s highly likely that President Joe Biden or even the debate moderators will “Many Americans are concerned about inflation, which has come down remarkably fastcite the letter during Thursday night’s debate.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Source” that people did not actually believe President Joe Biden would be on cocaine and any reference to it is in “jest.”
Johnson said, “I don’t have no personal animus against Joe Biden. Of course, I respect the office and I’ve just acknowledged what everyone sees. We can’t help how we age. Everybody ages differently at a different pace.”
Host Kaitlan Collins said, “Some of the rhetoric is out of line where when people from Trump’s team are suggesting that, and Trump himself, that Biden is going to be on cocaine when he is on the debate stage

We have our hand on the Bible swearing we are not making this story up.
A gang of 16 Nobel prize-winning economists signed a letter yesterday endorsing Joe Biden for president because: “There is rightly a worry that Donald Trump will reignite inflation with his fiscally irresponsible budgets.”
But then our colleague, Scott Bessent, noticed something strange and ironic about the signatories: 13 of these economists signed a highly-publicized open letter three years ago assuring Americans that Biden’s “Build Back Better” spending spree would “ease longer-term inflationary pressures.”

MSNBC host Joy Reid said Wednesday on “The ReidOut” that it is “deeply offensive” that “felon” former President Donald Trump gets to stand next to President Joe Biden during the debate.
Reid said. “Mary Trump’s book, the thing that comes through is the word that hurts him most is fail. Thing they were not allowed to be was failures in that family. He’s sensitive to failure and not being loved. He’s very needy. It does seem there are key words Biden could use. Fail is one, felon feels like a good one. Is that what the Biden team is drilling him on to get these words in to bug him?”
A judge ruled that a Montana law which defined "sex" in state law, when referring to a person as only male or female, was unconstitutional, saying that the law's description did not explicitly state its purpose. District Court Judge Shane Vannatta struck down the 2023 law on Tuesday after a group of plaintiffs who identify as transgender, nonbinary, intersex and other identities sued, arguing the law denies legal recognition and protection to people who identify as gender-nonconforming, according to The Associated Press.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday threw out a challenge brought by two Republican state officials and conservative social media users challenging the White House’s pressure campaigns on social media companies to remove what the Biden administration deems “misinformation.”
In a 6-3 decision with Justice Amy Coney-Barrett writing the majority opinion, the court ruled that the plaintiffs did not have standing to bring the case, CNN reported. The high court did not rule on any of the First Amendment questions raised by the plaintiffs, which included the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana along with five conservative social media users.

There have been several cases of late where defendants are illegal aliens charged with serious felonies. Too many. The murder of Laken Riley sparked national outrage when we learned that the suspect was admitted into the country via Joe Biden's lax/nonexistent immigration policies.
Laken Riley was murdered and the suspect, Jose Ibarra, was indicted. Becca Lower reported:
The grand jury indicted Jose Ibarra, a 26-year-old Venezuela national, who had entered the country illegally in September 2022 in El Paso, Texas. He faces charges of malice murder and felony murder in connection with Riley’s death.
Riley was found deceased on Augusta University’s campus

The Louisville police chief responsible for the botched case against world No 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler was forced to resign this week.
Jacquelyn Gwinn-Villaroel handed in her notice after being suspended over the mishandling of a sexual harassment claim about an officer.
That plunged the department into yet more turmoil, weeks after Louisville cops came under fire over their handling of Scheffler's case. Gwinn-Villaroel vowed to 'to respect the legal process' and 'let it play out' after Scheffler was shockingly arrested at the PGA Championship in May.
The golfer was taken to jail and charged with a felony - second-degree assault of a police officer -
