June 14th is Flag Day in the USA. On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white,” and that “the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation.” Over 100 years later, in 1916, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day.

June 14th is also the birthday of the U.S. Army, which was authorized by Congress on June 14, 1775. Happy birthday, Army!

Finally, June 14, 2026 is also the date for "Shoot, Shmooze, & BBQ". See the flyer below.

June 6th is the anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy.

On June 6, 1944 the Allied Forces of Britain, America, Canada, and France attacked German forces on the coast of Normandy, France. With a huge force of 156,000 soldiers, the Allies landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of Normandy. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history and gained a victory that became the turning point for World War II in Europe.

Approximately 15,000 French civilians died in the Normandy campaign, partly from Allied bombing and partly from combat actions of Allied and German ground forces.

Just a couple of corrections to a recent posting in the Ann Arbor Community group about voting to eliminate military aid and to boycott Israel.

1. Military aid to Israel is a tricky thing, because Israel does not get the money directly. The money is held by the Defense Department and disbursed DIRECTLY TO U.S. COMPANIES when Israel buys planes, weapons, tanks, ships, ammunition, etc. from those U.S. companies. The money never goes overseas. When you cutoff that aid, you are laying off U.S. workers and slowing the U.S. economy. Just keep that in mind.

2. There has been no genocide in Gaza; it's a Palestinian lie. Don't take MY word for it - believe both International Courts, the ICC and ICJ, which have ruled that Israel has not committed genocide. Most people following that issue closely already know that, so use of the genocide libel against Israel in 2026 is real propaganda.

🚨 BREAKING: New report by UN Watch reveals UN “experts” accepted millions of dollars from China, Russia, and Qatar before attacking the U.S., Israel, and the West.

The 13 UN “experts” exposed in the report represent more than a fifth of the 59 mandates to report on human rights. Their conduct would end careers in any other institution. Yet all retain their UN platforms.

UN Watch's findings show a clear pattern of ideological bias and financial conflicts of interest that are hampering human rights.
