The Germans are revering Taco Bell.
The Swedes are dumbfounded by ranch.
The English have discovered the sun.

Just wait until the Europeans look up and see this ahead of Tunisia-Uzbekistan.

@FreddyLA7 Are y'all golfers? If so I will set your group up for a round at my club when you get to Houston.

The tattoo on his chest is not just a swastika it's not just a Nazi symbol. It's VERY specific.

The tattoo of "Totenkoof"that he has on his chest is of the Nazi watch guards who stood over concentration camps watchtowers and purposely shot Jews at will from within those walls.

This is what pod save America is now this is what the political and electoral left is now.

This is the saddest video you will see today.

San Francisco has ‘Reduction Harm centers’ where the city supplies clean needles for fentanyl users

Thunderbolt Over Baghdad, 'Pilot-Dude' Down in the Countryside

Maj. Jim Ewald had just finished a close-air support mission over Baghdad when his A-10 Thunderbolt II was hit by an Iraqi surface-to-air missile April 8, 2003.

It physically moved the plane "like the hand of God," Ewald said during a Pentagon interview July 16.

Ewald is a pilot with the 110th Fighter Wing out of Battle Creek, Mich.

The missile came up from the southwest, and Ewald said he never saw it. But he had no doubt a missile had hit him.

"I could see a reddish glow on my cockpit instruments from the fire behind me," he said. His second thought was that he had not been wounded.

It was then that the airplane “departed from controlled flight,” he said.

"That's just the way we say, ‘I was trying to fly the airplane one way, but the airplane was off doing its own thing,’" the Michigan guardsman said.

Ewald was soon able to regain control.

"I was very fortunate to be flying this mission in an A-10, because had I not, I would have bailed out right there," he said. "My next thought was 'I don't want to bail out right over Baghdad or I'm going to be in it deep.'"

He and his wingman headed out of Baghdad and sought American lines.

"It was physically hard (to fly the plane),” Ewald said. "I was manipulating everything with all the muscles in my body. I had flight-control problems. I had engine problems. I had fuel-flow problems. I had hydraulic problems … not to mention that I had an airplane that was disintegrating. I looked back once, and I could see little parts falling off the engine, and I thought, 'I really don't know what that is, but I think I need it.' "

As he continued south, he lost one of the engines completely, and he ejected.

"The ejection seat was packed by one of my new best friends out of Boise, Idaho, and it worked perfectly," Ewald said.

After he hit the ground, he mistook the A-10’s 30 mm rounds exploding in the burning airplane for incoming Iraqi fire. He ran to hide in a dried canal behind some reeds. He heard engine noise and hoped that the vehicle was American.

"I knew the 3rd Infantry Division had been in the area, but I didn't know if it was still there," Ewald said.

There were Fedayeen Saddam paramilitary forces still running around, he said, and he could not see very well.

"I heard one yell in English, but I thought maybe this guy went to language school," Ewald said. "Then I heard another voice yell in English, 'Hey, pilot dude. Come out. We're Americans.'"

There was no mistaking the accent, he said.

"He sounded like your typical 19-year-old American," Ewald said. "I thought, ‘That's something you don't learn in language school.’"

The soldiers were from the Army's 54th Engineer Battalion, and they had seen Ewald eject. They arrived some 10 to 15 minutes after he hit the ground, he said.

Ewald went back to the 110th FW and was back into the cockpit within 48 hours.

This is another example showing how Barack Obama is one of the most divisive figures in American politics today. So many of our divisions were caused by the smug, demeaning and narrow-minded way he treats his opponents.

Here, he pretends to not know the truth about the would-be assassin, although the facts of his left wing views were public hours before Obama’s tweet. It’s classic Obama - pretend to be conciliatory while he is the one who creates the divide.

You would hope that Obama would condemn the left after the left tries to kill a President.

But that’s too much to ask.

Once again, Obama proves himself to be a classless divider of our country.

Every communist response to a communist act of violence is some version of, “Hey everyone needs to tone things down but also this is kind of your fault and also you kind of deserve it.”

Because they’re not sorry. They want these things to happen. There will be no changes.

We were there front and center.

That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.

After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these.

My life became increasingly at risk after I exposed mass fraud in Democrat states, where Democrats would rather defend the fraudsters than the person exposing the fraud.

The rhetoric and attitude from the party you belong to is a major problem.

By calling people fascists and Nazis, eventually enough people will believe it. Then saying, “Political violence is political cowardice. It is unacceptable in all forms,” is cowardice given the words shouted from your very own mouth.

SPLC invested $270k in Charlottesville and got $81 million in additional donations. Extraordinary returns.

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

Jamie Raskin and AOC would haul the owners of the website RedSky in front of congress and the entire social media platform would be shut down like Parler.

There won't even be a discussion about how BlueSky is fomenting actual political violence.
