He was the first United States Marine ever to receive the Medal of Honor, and he earned it standing on a deck slick with the blood of his own gun crew, refusing to leave the fight even as a Confederate fort tried to blow his ship out of the water.

John Freeman Mackie was a corporal in the Marine Corps serving aboard the ironclad gunboat USS Galena. In May 1862, as part of the push up the James River toward Richmond, the Galena and a small flotilla steamed up to attack Fort Darling, a strong Confederate battery perched high on a bluff at Drewry's Bluff.

It was a nightmare of a fight. The Confederate guns sat up on the heights, firing down onto the Union ships, and the Galena's armor, which looked impressive, turned out to be far too thin. Confederate shot punched clean through her sides and tore through the crew. Sharpshooters in rifle pits along the bank raked her deck. The Galena was being methodically shot to pieces, and inside her hull the carnage was horrific.

Through all of it Mackie kept his composure. He kept up steady musket fire against the enemy riflemen on shore, refusing to take cover. Then, when Confederate shells killed and wounded the men working one of the ship's big guns and left it silent, he stepped over the dead and wounded, took over the piece with the survivors, and got it firing again.

For his coolness and courage in that slaughterhouse, Mackie was singled out for the newly created Medal of Honor, becoming the very first Marine in history to receive it. He lived on until 1910. Every Marine Medal of Honor since, and there have been hundreds, traces back to a corporal who would not leave his gun aboard a broken ship on the James.

Jeff Foxworthy and Muslims

Jeff Foxworthy writes.......

Have you ever wondered why it's OK to make jokes about Catholics, Jews, Christians, the Pope, the Irish, the Italians, the Polish, the Hungarians, the Chinese, the French (including French Canadians), the elderly, bad golfers, men/women, blacks/whites, red necks, etc., but it's insensitive to make jokes about the Muslims?

Well, it's time to level the playing field and be politically incorrect, by including our friends, the Muslims, on this grandiose list. So Jeff Foxworthy did his part to include the Muslims on his list ...

1. If you grow and refine heroin for a living, but morally object to the use of liquor, you may be a Muslim.

2. If you own a $3,000 machine gun and a $5,000 rocket launcher, but can't afford shoes, you may be a Muslim.

3. If you have more wives than teeth, you may be a Muslim.

5. If you think vests come in two styles, bullet-proof and suicide, you may be a Muslim.

6. If you can't think of anyone that you haven't declared jihad against, you may be a Muslim.

7. If you consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in your clothing, you may be a Muslim.

8. If you were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses, other than setting off roadside bombs, you may be a Muslim.

9. If you have nothing against women and think every man should own at least four, then you, too, may be a Muslim.

10. If you find this offensive and do not forward it, you are part of the problem here in America … and you are most likely a Muslim.

Chester A. Arthur, the 21st President of the United States, reportedly owned around 80 pairs of pants and changed his outfit several times a day. He was such a peacock that his nicknames were "Elegant Arthur," "the Gentleman Boss," and basically "the Dude President." This was a man who would swap clothes multiple times between morning and night and put on a full tuxedo just to eat dinner alone. His entire personal brand was being the sharpest-dressed person in any room, and he pulled it off.

His obsession with style extended to his house. When Arthur moved into the White House, he took one look at the place and declared it too shabby to live in. He literally refused to move in until it was redone. He hauled out decades of old presidential furniture, reportedly by the wagonload, and auctioned it off to the public. Then he hired Louis Comfort Tiffany, the legendary stained-glass artist, to give the White House a lavish, top-to-bottom luxury makeover. He turned the President's home into a high-end showpiece.

In his free time he was a total night owl and a party animal. Arthur routinely stayed up until 2 or 3 in the morning eating, drinking, and entertaining, and hated going to bed. When he wanted to actually relax, he escaped to go fishing. He was a passionate angler and belonged to an exclusive salmon fishing club, sneaking off to Canada and Florida to cast a line.

And under all the fine clothes and late-night dinners was a heavy secret. Arthur was quietly dying the whole time. He'd been diagnosed with a fatal kidney disease early in his presidency and hid it from the public, throwing his glamorous parties while privately knowing his body was failing. He died not long after leaving office.

So the real Chester A. Arthur: 80 pairs of pants, changed clothes several times a day, refused to live in the White House until Tiffany glammed it up, partied until 3 a.m., slipped away to go salmon fishing, and hid a terminal illness behind the whole dazzling act.

That's a President.

Most Americans don’t understand what socialism is.

It’s not universal healthcare.

It’s not affordable housing.

It’s not what Nordic countries do.

Confusion is making socialism appeal to those who never lived it.

People who have, reject it.

“I will insist that the Hebrews have done more to civilize Men than any other Nation. If I were an Atheist and believed in blind eternal Fate, I should Still believe that Fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential Instrument for civilizing the Nations. If I were an Atheist of the other Sect, who believe or pretend to believe that all is ordered by Chance, I Should believe that Chance had ordered the Jews to preserve and propagate, to all Mankind the Doctrine of a Supreme intelligent wise, almighty Sovereign of the Universe, which I believe to be the great essential Principle of all Morality and consequently of all Civilization.”

🚨 COMMUNISM JUST WOKE A SLEEPING GIANT… AND IT’S CALLED THE GREAT AWAKENING 🚨
They thought they could poison this country forever.
They thought the American people would sleep through the takeover.
They were DEAD WRONG.
The Democrat Party has been hijacked by Communists, Socialists, and radicals who hate everything this nation stands for.
And every single day their insanity becomes more obvious… the giant stirs.
What used to get you banned, fired, and destroyed is now shouted from the rooftops:
✅ Russiagate was a HOAX
✅ COVID was MAN-MADE
✅ Masks & vaccines were a SCAM
✅ January 6th was a SETUP
✅ 2020 was STOLEN
The Overton Window isn’t just shifting… it’s SHATTERING.
This isn’t a slow process anymore.
This is the Great Awakening.
A sleeping giant has been punched in the face by pure communism… and now it’s rising with fire in its eyes.
They exposed themselves.
We will never go back to sleep.
The tipping point is here.
The critical mass is coming.
And nothing will stop it.
America is waking up.
And she is PISSED.

Islam Begins: The first kamikaze

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

164 years ago today Confederate raiders stormed a Missouri town at dawn, captured its Union garrison, and riding with them was a young schoolteacher-turned-guerrilla whose name would become a synonym for terror: William Quantrill.

By the summer of 1862, Missouri was a nightmare of ambush and reprisal, a vicious guerrilla war layered on top of the regular one. On August 11, Confederate Colonel John Hughes led a force toward Independence, the seat of Jackson County, held by a Union garrison under Lieutenant Colonel James Buel. Attached to Hughes were about thirty of Quantrill's bushwhackers under the brutal George Todd.

They hit at first light, driving into town on two roads at once and smashing straight through to the Union camp. The surprise was near total. Hughes himself was killed early in the fighting, but the attack rolled on. Buel and a knot of his men tried to hold out in a building until the one next door was set ablaze, and with the fire spreading he surrendered. Around 150 of his men were captured.

It was a small battle, but the company it introduced was anything but small. William Quantrill and his raiders would go on to become the most infamous guerrillas of the war, and their ranks were a finishing school for outlaws. Among the young men who rode with Quantrill's band were Frank and Jesse James, and Cole Younger. A year later Quantrill would lead the horrific massacre at Lawrence, Kansas. That dark legend was already taking shape here, on a dusty morning in Independence.

This is Mike Shirley. He is the Senate majority leader in Michigan.

Here he spills the beans.

He says January 6th was coordinated with Nancy Pelosi and Mitch McConnell.

It was a setup to stop Trump and MAGA.

It's not just Dearborn, Michigan, that is being overtaken by Islamism. This is a COUNTRY-WIDE infiltration. @NateFriedman97 tells me what he has seen traveling across the country:

“You've got places in New York. I just went to Little Yemen. How many people know a "Little Yemen" even exists in the Bronx in New York City? … I'm getting so many messages from people on Instagram saying, ‘My city, my town has been completely taken over. We have 20 mosques within 10 miles.’ People don't know, and I will go, and I will investigate what's going on.”
