9000 "bodies" displayed on Normandy beach to remember D-day

9000 Human Silhouettes Drawn On The Normandy Beaches To Promote World Peace (Photo Gallery) (technocrazed.com)

To celebrate the International Peace Day, two artists have drawn nearly 9000 silhouettes  on the sand of Arromanches beach in Normandy. These 9,000 silhouettes represent the soldiers who had died during the WW2 during normandy landings in 1944, a grim reminder to the horrors of war. 

British artist Jamie Wardley (website Sand In Your Eye) and Andy Moss  had the innovative idea to do a project on Aromanches beach in Normandy in order to celebrate the International Peace Day. For the occasion, they used stencils to draw the 9000 silhouettes representing all the soldiers who had died during the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944. In order to accomplish this gigantic task the team sought the help of 60 volunteers and several hundred people inspired by the project.

. . .”This is an example of what happens in the absence of peace and it is a visual representation to help us understand the loss of 9,000 men,” says Jamie Wardley on his website. It is true that this surreal vision of 9000 dead bodies lying on the sand body gives us a food for thought. The artwork existed only a few hours as then the sea covers the entire range and clears the tracks. What do you think of this initiative, which pays tribute to the victims of landing and promotes peace in the world?"

The real threat to democracy: Alvin Bragg

"The best that Democrats can get out of this is to call Trump a “convicted felon,” which they’re currently working to death. As usual, they don’t know how to phrase things. A felon is a felon, making “convicted” is redundant. For example, in Democrat talk, Hunter Biden is an “unconvicted felon.' ”  Christopher Garbacz

Interference: Bragg's Office Demands Trump Gag Order Remain In Place – HotAir   "The trial concluded nearly a week ago. The jurors have gone home, as have the witnesses. Stormy Daniels has taken her act on the road, literally, and publicly advising Melania Trump to leave her husband now that he's a convict. Both Daniels and Alvin Bragg's star witness Michael Cohen have declared publicly that Donald Trump should get prison time, with Cohen demanding "solitary confinement" for the crime of falsely entering business records. 

"With all of the witnesses making their case public, the only person who can't comment is ... Donald Trump himself. Judge Juan Merchan didn't lift the gag order Thursday after recording the guilty verdict, and has yet to respond to a defense motion to vacate it so Trump can respond to the public criticism. 

"And if prosecutors get their way, Trump will remain gagged until just before the Republican convention:" . . .

Judge Merchan may need to rethink his obvious desire to imprison Trump - Christopher Garbacz  "Judge Merchan seems to have no alternative but to sentence Trump to jail, given the obvious fact that Merchan and his rabid constituents are inflamed by the enormity of Trump’s conviction on thirty-four felony counts. However, there are problems that place the judge between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Here are some possible issues:

"What if the Republican convention is moved forward to, say, July 4th to be convened at Mar-A-Lago? Trump would be chosen as the Republican nominee for President. Then, Merchan would be sentencing the Republican nominee for President. That’s an escalation that might cause the judge to pause about his options.

"Where does a prison sentence leave Merchan when it comes to the armed Secret Service? Does he say that Trump must give up Secret Service protection in prison? No, because he lacks the power to do this. Therefore, by sending Trump to prison, he effectively sentences his Secret Service agents to prison as well. This would create a constitutional crisis that SCOTUS would have to settle.

"Normally, once someone is convicted of a felony in New York City, that person is immediately placed in the custody of NYC law enforcement and sent to Rikers Island Prison. Rikers Island, as Law & Order TV fans well know, is a hell-hole. It is likely that the Secret Service would allow this for its agents? There’s another constitutional crisis." . . .

The real threat to democracy - Ronald C. Tinnell   "I am really tired of hearing that Trump is a "threat to democracy."  Democrats seem to be repeating this mantra endlessly.  Actually, they are right, but you have to understand what they really mean.  Let's make a distinction between two flavors of democracy:

"democracy:  rule by the people

“ 'Democracy”:  rule by Democrats, specifically by members of the Democratic party

"Trump is truly a threat to “Democracy.”  When Democrats make this claim, they really mean that he is a threat to their ascendancy, but they want you to think that they mean that he is a threat to rule by the people." . . . 

BORIS JOHNSON: This was a machine-gun mob-style hit job on Trump. It was nakedly political - and will make his victory more likely, not less | Daily Mail Online   "Whaaat??? How can anyone survive that? By all the laws of politics the Trump campaign should today be a smoking ruin.

"He's a felon. He's a criminal – and he is the first president in US history to be convicted of such ostensibly serious offences.

"Every time that jury foreman pronounced the word 'Guilty' in the Manhattan court on Thursday, he should by all normal logic have been dealing a death-blow to Donald Trump's hopes of regaining the White House.

"He said it not just once but 34 times. This was no ordinary political assassination. This was a machine-gun mob-style hit-job on Trump." . . .

Wait - Who's Lying? Jonathan Turley Flips 'Blatant Lie' Charge Against Fox Host Back on Biden Campaign

Mike Miller – RedState

The Biden administration on January 22, 2021 – just two days after Joe's inauguration – put a freeze on Trump's plan to lower insulin prices. So Biden literally reversed Trump's insulin cap as one of his first EOs, and now comes back, more than three years later, and tries to take credit for it.

Posted by TD

"To intentionally use an awkward double negative, Joe Biden can't not lie. As his mortal enemy Donald Trump might say, "Everyone knows it. People are telling me that, if you want to know the truth."

"Welp, turns out that everyone also knows that the Biden presidential campaign is no more than an extension of a dishonest man who lacks the capacity to be honest and will stoop to any low to survive.

"What follows is a quintessential case in point.

"The Biden campaign on Monday attacked veteran Fox News host John Roberts for questioning Biden’s claim that he was the first president to push through a cap of $35 for a one-month supply of insulin medication. 

I seem to remember that back in May of 2020, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid said that President Trump had signed an executive order to cap the price of insulin for Medicare recipients at 35 bucks. Now, maybe I’m misremembering that, but I think it kind of already happened.

"The collective minds of Team Biden promptly went crazy. 

FACT CHECK: This is a blatant lie. Trump did not cap insulin costs, President Biden did for seniors through the Inflation Reduction Act. Trump’s Project 2025 wants to repeal it, which would raise insulin costs for over a million Americans.

"Yeah, no. Better check the facts. And they attacked Roberts, who has had a distinguished career, not Trump. But the mere notion that Donald Trump did something first that Biden is now pushing led them to lose it."

"Enter George Washington University law professor and Fox News legal analyst Jonathan Turley.

"Incidentally, among my worst nightmares is entering a courtroom as either an attorney or a defendant and seeing Jonathan Turley on the other side". . . .
