Video—Men and Guns of the Battle of the Bulge, Part 1

The Great Nazi Scare of 2017

WALL STREET JOURNAL:
"Fear the majoritarian mob, whatever its ideological predisposition."

Well, that was a bit embarrassing. Antifascist liberals mounted thousand-strong counter-rallies all weekend against a Nazi threat that proved nonexistent or thin on the ground. Leftists imagined themselves to be modern-day versions of the Czech resistance or the Warsaw uprising, but it turns out they were the majoritarian mob shouting down a handful of losers who’ve been an execrable but small part of the American pageant for as long as most of us can remember. . .


For the record, however, Donald Trump’s press conference, in its entirety, is available online and takes 23 minutes to watch. He did not fail to denounce Nazis and racists. . .


Many reputations are now tied to a false version of what Donald Trump said, and a version of events in Charlottesville that may or may not survive careful documentation. Do not expect moral courage or any apologies. Mobs are mobs. Nazis whose every thought is reprehensible will still quail in the face of a lawless crowd. CEOs of publicly traded companies are not in the business of being brave. And yet the natural order is holding. Neo-Nazis and white supremacists may be a continuing American embarrassment and eyesore, but they are not today’s most pressing threat to our civil liberties.

I Want To Help But I Can't. . .

There are so many reasons why people think they aren't able to help the animals. Money, personal situations, living arrangements, small children, medical needs, and many more. In many cases, there are a lot of ways people can help without even having to leave their homes.

Begin with sharing and networking these animals in need. Perhaps someone in your social circle will be able to help in some way. If your local shelter is overcrowded and under staffed, perhaps you can volunteer your time to help out there. Feeding animals, cleaning kennels, exercising and socializing dogs, or maybe even photographing the animals to help promote them on social media are all ways you can get involved. Hosting fundraisers, volunteering to help out at adoption events, transporting animals, doing home checks, or providing professional services (are you a graphic artist, lawyer, veterinarian, work at a pet supply company) are all ways to help out a rescue you admire, and in some cases you don't even have to live close by.

Of course, adopting, fostering, and donating if and when you can are always welcome. If you would like to donate to our rescue, you can do so here.

When Feminists Join Islamist Terrorists

GATESTONE INSTITUTE:

The fact is that these supposed feminists not only turn a blind eye to those atrocities, but their presence at these events actively endorses and legitimizes the rule of these dictators.

How To Know You’re In a Mass Hysteria Bubble

From Scott Adams, creator of the Dilbert comic strip:

The Salem Witch Trials are the best-known example of mass hysteria. The McMartin Pre-School case and the Tulip Bulb hysteria are others. The dotcom bubble probably qualifies. We might soon learn that the Russian Collusion story was mass hysteria in hindsight. The curious lack of solid evidence for Russian collusion is a red flag. But we’ll see how that plays out.

The most visible Mass Hysteria of the moment involves the idea that the United States intentionally elected a racist President.

Revising history and The Ministry of Truth

NOW A NEW BROADWAY PLAY STARRING TOM STURRIDGE AND OLIVIA WILDE

Written in 1948, 1984 was George Orwell’s chilling prophecy about the future. And while 1984 has come and gone, his dystopian vision of a government that will do anything to control the narrative is timelier than ever...

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

Winston Smith toes the Party line, rewriting history to satisfy the demands of the Ministry of Truth. With each lie he writes, Winston grows to hate the Party that seeks power for its own sake and persecutes those who dare to commit thoughtcrimes. But as he starts to think for himself, Winston can’t escape the fact that Big Brother is always watching...

A startling and haunting vision of the world, 1984 is so powerful that it is completely convincing from start to finish. No one can deny the influence of this novel, its hold on the imaginations of multiple generations of readers, or the resiliency of its admonitions—a legacy that seems only to grow with the passage of time.

DIRTY COP: Here Are the Major Scandals that Took Place When Robert Mueller Was FBI Director

The following report is from Attorney Jeffrey Marty…

What stands out most during then-FBI Director Mueller’s term in office is the two-tiered system of justice, when obvious crimes and scandals involving government officials and private-sector elites were ignored or even covered up by the FBI. Much of the worst behavior of government officials in the Bush and Obama administrations was given a pass by Mueller’s FBI, as well as a megabank that laundered billions of dollars for Mexican drug cartels and sponsors of terror.

Simply put: Mueller helped to create the swamp that needs to be drained. He’s a dirty cop with no business being anywhere near any national security investigation, but especially one involving James Comey.

European societies increasingly are no longer self-sustaining.

THE IRISH TIMES:

European civilisation has given the world many cherished values, freedoms and institutions, including the classical legacy of Greece and Rome; the rule of law; separation of church and state; modern science; individual freedom; a fabulous heritage of music, painting, sculpture and architecture; and more.

But despite this wonderful heritage, Europe is losing faith in itself, and birth rates have collapsed.

NSC = leakers. Can't exist in a functioning republic. Full stop.

Lt. Col. "Buzz" Patterson (FB): "For those who don't know, I was one of President Clinton's Military Aides (the Air Force guy) from 1996-1998 and facilitated many phone calls/communications between our president and other world leaders."

"People are discussing the insane leaks coming out of the Trump White House. Let me shine some light on how that process actually works. For those who don't know, I was one of President Clinton's Military Aides (the Air Force guy) from 1996-1998 and facilitated many phone calls/communications between our president and other world leaders.

So, the phone call is requested and placed through the White House switchboard. The coordinating party, could be an NSC staffer, the Military Aide or a member of another office, let's say Press Secretary. The NSC facilitates the call between all parties and world leaders. Once all of the "principals" are connected, there are White House staffers (normally NSC) assigned to listen, monitor and develop transcripts. In my time in the Clinton White House, I occasionally did that but there were ALWAYS NSC staffers listening and providing transcription.

Bottom Line: the leaks of confidential conversations are coming directly from the NSC. No possible way otherwise. Who runs the NSC? General McMaster. In the military, when people down the chain of command break the law, the fault lies at the top. Something's going on in the NSC designed to end the Trump presidency. The leaks are coming from the NSC. Do the math.

NSC = leakers. Can't exist in a functioning republic. Full stop."

Trust me: you don't know THIS about Melania Trump!

“According to a report published by a private organization that tracks government spending, Open the Books reveals that Melania Trump has saved more money with her staff than Michelle Obama did as the first lady. Melania has 19 fewer staffers dedicated to her office than Michelle did in the White House. Mrs. Trump has five staffers versus the 24 staffers who served Michelle Obama,” reports Inquisitr.

Melania could have 24 staffers, like Michelle, but part of the Trump plan was to streamline the White House staff, which under the Obamas had become a bloated bureaucracy. Michelle was such a prima donna that she employed numerous staffers, including schedulers, directors, planners, associates, social and press secretaries, and other assistants.

So, how much is Melania saving tax-payers? Approximately $5.1 million dollars a year, but that’s not all. Overall, the Trump White House is saving a total of $22 million dollars. “President Trump’s ‘leaner White House payroll,’ as reported by Forbes, is saving taxpayers $22 million overall. This information is verified by the fact that the current salaries for White House employees was made public on Friday. Donald Trump, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner are taking a total salary of zero dollars,” according to Inquisitr.
