We need the truth about Mitch McConnell NOW. It is unacceptable that the party who spent four years criticizing Joe Biden’s health is now silent on McConnell’s. What’s the difference between that and what Iran’s leaders are doing with the new Ayatollah?
Is McConnell braindead? Or is he chatting about Graham Platner and Iran? It is OUR RIGHT to know. That seat isn’t McConnell’s. It belongs to the people of Kentucky.
“No taxation without representation” was a great start. It’s time for “No legislation without representation.”
23 year old Sudanese migrant Abubaker Mohamad Awad, stabbed 19 year old Tommie Lindhn to death in his own apartment in Härnösand, Sweden after Lindhn tried to stop Awad from raping a Swedish girl at knife point.
After killing Tommie, Awad continued to rape the young girl next to Tommies dead body.
The Sudanese migrant had already previously been convicted of several crimes, including sexual harassment, drug offences & shoplifting.
Had he been deported, Tommie would still be alive.
The media painted Tommie as Far Right, implied he was racist & that his life didn’t matter.
#EU scum
I haven’t seen many headlines about this today but it’s important we never forget the Dallas Massacre of July 7th, 2016 wherein 5 law enforcement officers were ambushed and slaughtered at a BLM protest in Dallas. It was the deadliest incident for US law enforcement since 9/11. Never forget.
It’s not the Nazi tattoo, or his lying about it, or his statement that all cops are bastards, or his use of an app that targets teens, or his admission he was a communist that led Ds to dump Platner.
It’s fear he will lose that caused this stampede.
Never forget that.
He ran off from home as a teenager after a fight with his father and turned up on the Virginia frontier with nothing but his fists and a bad attitude. He hauled wagons, drank hard, gambled harder, and beat men senseless in taverns for fun. Nobody looked at young Daniel Morgan and saw a future war hero. They saw trouble with a strong back.
Then came the lashing. During the French and Indian War a British officer struck him with the flat of a sword, and Morgan knocked the man out cold. For hitting an officer he was sentenced to 500 lashes, a punishment meant to kill. He lay there and counted every stroke himself. He lived. And for the rest of his days he told it as a joke, that the drummer miscounted in the dark and only gave him 499, so the British crown still owed him one lash and he intended to collect.
He nearly died more than once before the Revolution even began. A musket ball tore through the back of his neck and out through his cheek, taking teeth with it. He clamped onto his horse's neck, sure he was finished, and rode until he didn't fall off. He carried that scar and a lifetime of chronic pain, and sciatica so brutal that in later years men sometimes had to lift him onto his horse.
When war came he raised a company of frontier riflemen and marched them hundreds of miles to Boston in the dead of the campaign. At Quebec in 1775 he stormed the walls in a blizzard, kept fighting after the assault fell apart around him, and when he was finally cornered he refused to hand his sword to the enemy. He pressed his back to a wall, dared them to shoot him, and surrendered only to a clergyman standing nearby so no redcoat could ever say he'd taken Daniel Morgan's blade.
His riflemen were something the world had barely seen. They could kill a man at 250 yards while regular armies still fired in massed volleys and prayed. At Saratoga his marksmen hung in the trees and picked off British officers one at a time. One of his men dropped General Simon Fraser from an impossible distance, and with that shot the fight went out of the British line. That campaign ended in a whole British army surrendering and brought France into the war on the American side.
Then came the day that made him immortal. January 1781, a cold field in South Carolina called the Cowpens. Morgan was sick, outnumbered, and staring down Banastre Tarleton, the young cavalry commander who left burned farms and slaughtered prisoners behind him and who no one wanted to face. So Morgan did the unthinkable. He put his weakest, jumpiest militia right up front, walked the line the night before, and told them plain: give me two good volleys, boys, just two, then fall back and I'll ask no more of you.
Tarleton saw ragged militia running and thought he'd won. He charged straight into the trap. The militia peeled away exactly as planned, the British came on howling, and Morgan's real line rose up and hit them while cavalry swept around the flank and the whole thing snapped shut like a jaw. In under an hour Tarleton's force was destroyed. Morgan pulled off a perfect double envelopment, the kind generals dream about and almost never land, and he did it with a broken-down body and a militia most officers wouldn't trust to hold a fence line. They still teach that battle at West Point.
Cowpens broke the British in the South and set the road to Yorktown. Congress struck a gold medal for him. The wagon driver with no schooling, a back that barely worked, a mouth full of missing teeth, and 499 scars on it, out-generaled the best they had and helped win a nation.
Daniel Morgan. Remember the name.
Christopher Nolan is an anti-Greek racist. I'm very happy that this movie will destroy his career. He is a weak man who decided to disrespect our Greek culture and history just so he could be eligible for the Academy Awards. Woke Hollywood is dead.
Twenty years ago, I warned that if the Democratic establishment kept playing footsie with the radical socialist fringe, those ideas would eventually eat the party from the inside out. Look at where we are today.
You have Calla Walsh, who started out working right alongside Elizabeth Warren, now sitting in the Middle East, praising the Ayatollah Khamenei at his funeral as the "greatest anti-imperialist leader" of her lifetime.
I have an honest question for Democrats. When did attending the funeral of a brutal, anti-American dictator stop being a dealbreaker? Or socialism? I was mocked for even suggesting that Obama liked Mao and had some socialist leanings. But now, openly socialist candidates are winning! When did this stop bothering you?
Consider these words from 1920, written by French author Hilaire Belloc:
“The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself. Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.”
