Colbert reiterated the question and added his own tag: “Can Bill Clinton’s past take down Hillary Clinton’s future? I will also say, add Hillary Clinton’s past in there. Can things from the ‘90s count now?”

Dickerson responded:

“Well it’s ah…so it feels like this campaign’s going to be a lot about Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton’s past and Donald Trump’s past. Elections are supposed to be about the future. And it feels like we are not, um, we’re not having that conversation. Although we’ve tried it. Actually, you know, one of our jobs is to try to take the conversation and make it about the future and people’s lives, not about adjudicating the past.”

Dickerson did say an exception could be made if that “past goes to character and temperament which is crucial because we’re not going to be there when the big decisions are made and you need people who have the character and the temperament for the job.”

The Clintons would seem to qualify for his exception, yet Dickerson said, “So, um, I don’t know.”

In Flanders Fields The Poppies Blow, Between The Crosses, Row on Row...


In Flanders Fields the poppies blow 
Between the crosses row on row, 
That mark our place; and in the sky 
The larks, still bravely singing, fly 
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago 
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, 
Loved and were loved, and now we lie 
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: 
To you from failing hands we throw 
The torch; be yours to hold it high. 
If ye break faith with us who die 
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow 
In Flanders fields.


Lt. Col. John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Expeditionary Force

This is the story of how the red field poppy came to be known as an internationally recognized symbol of Remembrance.

From its association with poppies flowering in the spring of 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium, France and Gallipoli this vivid red flower has become synonymous with great loss of life in war.

Where is the mass grave of “Washington’s Immortals,” the men who saved America?
Perhaps the greatest mystery of the American Revolution is the location of the mass grave of  “Washington’s Immortals,” one of the most heroic units in the war.

In 2010 during a walking tour of the neighborhood where the Battle of Brooklyn, also known as the Battle of Long Island, took place, I encountered a neglected piece of history in the form of a rusted, scarred sign.  Suspended from a piece of corroded iron, it marks a mass grave:

Here lie buried 256 Maryland soldiers
Who fell in the Battle of Brooklyn
August 27, 1776

Today this sign is in an urban area near a well-worn, decades-old American Legion post.  Somewhere beneath the surface, in an empty lot or below a paved street, are the Marylanders’ undiscovered bodies.  Their remains lie intermingled in what should be hallowed ground.

In the revolutionary summer of 1776, these courageous patriots, known as “gentlemen of honour, family, and fortune,” gave their lives in a desperate series of bayonet charges against British troops. Their assault on that house arguably remains one of the most important elite small-unit engagements in American history.

The story of that charge is recounted in a new bestselling book, Washington’s Immortals, which chronicles the efforts of the elite troops of the Maryland Line — those who perished in the Battle of Brooklyn, and the men who survived to have a major impact on the rest of the war.  This unique book is the first Band of Brothers treatment of the American Revolution, capturing the most important elements of nearly every significant battle of The War of Independence. The Marylanders would play a decisive role in the war in the South.

Days before the Battle of Brooklyn began, the British Armada had delivered more than twenty thousand British troops to Long Island.  General George Washington led approximately ten thousand Americans in opposition. These citizen-soldiers were snidely described by one British officer: “Their army is the strangest that was ever collected: old men of 60, boys of 14, and blacks of all ages, and ragged for the most part, compose the motley crew.”  Washington arrayed about three thousand of his men in forward positions along the Heights of Gowanus, while most of the rest defended the fortifications in Brooklyn Heights.  But, fatefully, he left a key pass undefended.

Taking advantage of that blunder, the British sent a force to meet the Americans head on, while the rest marched around through the pass, flanking the Americans and penetrating deep behind their lines.  The maneuver succeeded brilliantly, cutting off a wing of the Patriot Army from the relative safety of the defenses in Brooklyn Heights.  The Redcoats were poised to deliver a crushing blow, when a group of Marylanders stepped forward to buy precious time for the Patriot cause, allowing hundreds of Washington’s troops to retreat through a gap in British lines.

Over the crackle of musket fire and boom of cannon, the indomitable Major Mordecai Gist and his officers ordered the Marylanders forward.  Shots tore through the ranks.  Undaunted, the men continued to surge toward an old stone house occupied by British General Charles, Earl Cornwallis and his Redcoats.

Cornwallis’s men trained a light cannon and musket fire on the advancing Marylanders, who launched a preemptive strike aimed at protecting their brothers-in-arms.  The British “[continued] pouring the canister and grape upon the Americans like a shower of hail.”  In the melee, “the flower of some of the finest families of the South [were] cut to atoms.”

Defying the carnage unfolding around them, Gist’s men “closed their ranks over the bodies of their dead comrades, and still turned their faces to the foe.”

The Elite One-Percent’s ‘Orgy Island’ Exposed

If you can name it — it has likely taken place this the lavish private island off the coast of Puerto Rico which boasts a beautifully landscaped plush luxury estate complete with its own helipad, privy only to certain members of the global elite.

Owned by Jeffery Epstein, a wealthy American financier and convicted sex offender, Little St. James Island appears to be somewhat of a gathering place and is a well desired hangout among key figureheads, actors and royalty to the likes of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey and even Prince Andrew.

However, the people attending the lavish residence are likely do not go there to discuss “cutting edge scientific and medical research” as the Epstein VI Foundation would like you to believe, but rather go there to experience full-on sexual encounters with underage girls as young as fourteen.

That’s right, just like a scene out of the Hollywood blockbuster film Eyes Wide Shut, starring Tom Cruise, from wild parties to prostitution, orgies and even underage sex, Little St. James reportedly has it all and is seemingly a gathering point frequented by prominent jet-setters, and it is all being exposed. The cat is out of the bag so to speak.​

On May 25th I posted this about Chrissie Matthews saying that he didn't think the New Mexico anti-Trumpers were violent even though they were throwing rocks, bottles, and shirts that had been lit on fire at officers....

And now today we see more of those not so violent protesters Chrissie speaks of.....

​Anti-Trump leftists staged another violent protest Friday, this time in San Diego outside Donald Trump’s rally.
HUNDREDS of protesters turned out for the demonstration.

One protester was carrying a “Make America Mexico Again” sign.

Filmmakers Andrew Marcus and Jeremy Segal filmed the protests.
At one point several protesters were seen grabbing raw eggs from a tray and pelting them at Trump supporters standing in line.

Warning: Foul language...(I could do without the foul language although since our country is headed off of a cliff, it seems most appropriate. Do not read if curse words offend you...)

Via Ace of Spades

We tried it polite. We've been falling all ourselves for 30 years to try to convince the increasingly extremist left wing assholes that we're not all the foul things they call us.

It's impossible -- their jobs, their income, and their government subsidies depend on us being treated as second-class citizens and beasts for taxation.

It's about time we woke and realized they cannot be convinced, because they never really believed their bullshit anyway, it was always for the purposes of exacting rents out of people and making them knuckle under.

And I'm afraid our current leadership just can never get that -- they find themselves too afraid to go against their class, they fear too much the idea of being outcasts from their castes.

Trump is immune to such Mean Girl persuasions not because he's an especially courageous or wise man, but because he's a narcissist and a bully himself. Not because he's a good man, but because he's a fairly bad one.

But it doesn't matter how he came to be immune to their power -- all that matters is that he is immune to it.

And the people that want to continue to fall all over themselves to appease the unappeasable liberals are no longer needed in the positions of high responsibility in the movement.​

In a perfect world the MSM would report on the consistent pattern of violence in these anti-groups....awww but then they aren't there to report the news now are they?

At one point several Caucasian leftists harassed and abused a black Trump supporter.

The Trump supporter responded: If you go over there with the Trump supporters you are treated civilly. If you go over where people dislike Trump it’s a threat to your life. OK. It’s a threat to your personal wellbeing. You see how all these people act like savages?

Of course, the lying liberal media will NEVER report on this type of racist abuse that is widespread among leftist anti-Trump protesters.

Wonder how the MSM will edit out the fact that the Trump supporters telling the anti-Trumpers to go back to Mexico are Hispanic? White Hispanic's maybe?...

The Trump supporters confronted the protest mob.

And shall we look at the anorexia rate? "Anorexia is estimated to occur in 0.9% to 4.3% of women and 0.2% to 0.3% of men in Western countries at some point in their life." Why Anorexia? Because it is the most similar example of "Body Dysmorphia" I can think of. Transgenders look in the mirror and see something that isn't there, or they obsessively wish that the image was different. How does that differ from Anorexia?

Yet Transgenderism is celebrated and protected, but Anorexia is treated aggressively, because when left untreated, anorexics die! Of course Transgenders die too, mostly by suicide (41% attempt or succeed).

But by all means, let us celebrate and enable these profoundly disturbed Americans, instead of providing comprehensive psychiatric and medical treatment to overcome their significant, life-threatening illness.

Memorial Day is Monday. A time where we remember those who have died for the cause of liberty and we have a president of a very prominent college who thinks the Black Lives Matter movement...which lets face it...is racist...thinks the BLM movement is equivalent to the D-Day soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy.

​I don't even have the words to rebuke this nonsense...but I know in time...this too shall pass.

...
Just when you think things couldn't get any worse on college campuses, this happens.

DePaul University President Rev. Dennis H. Holtschneider issued a statement in response to the recent brouhaha caused by Black Lives Matter protesters shutting down a conservative event featuring Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, likening them to the D-Day soldiers that stormed the beaches of Normandy and died facing a relentless Nazi army.

The brave soldiers who fought for freedom during World War II were on the president's mind as he is currently in France and got a chance to visit the memorial sites. Because his trip coincided with the nasty outcome of the BLM attack on free speech, Holtschneider took time to address the incident.
