 We were expecting a small crowd and brought about 7 dozen stick flags. We were out of flags within the first 5 minutes. Support was overwhelming and we were greeted with applause and thanks the entire route, which was lined by thousands. Special thanks to the men of the Powhatan Troop, Camp #1382, SCV for the invitation and warm welcome. What a great day in Dixie!

The economy: If you're not worried yet, you should be
Via David
I've written for years about the dangers of an economic downturn. Many people regard such talk as 'crying wolf' - seeing non-existent dangers behind every bush. Nevertheless, I've always been able to give reasons for my concerns, and some of you have researched them for yourselves and come to similar conclusions. I've emphasized that I don't necessarily see it as a sudden, all-in collapse (although that's possible), but more likely a long, dark economic twilight. Some of the articles I've written include (but are not limited to):

The house is on fire! On the hidden horrors of Soviet life.
Via David
Ninety-nine years ago, Tsar Nicholas II
abdicated, and, after a few months of weak parliamentary rule, the
Bolsheviks seized power. We call that seizure the Russian (or October)
Revolution, but it might better be designated the Bolshevik coup d’état.
A party of 10,000 people gained control of an empire occupying
one-sixth of the earth’s land area.
From the start, they made up for their small
numbers with outsized violence. If at first their executions of
liberals, socialists, workers who showed independence, and peasants from
whom grain was seized at gunpoint seemed like a short-term necessity,
it soon became evident that the violence would never stop. In fact, it
was to grow, with Stalin proclaiming “the intensification of the class
struggle” when Bolshevik control had long been total.

Sharia USA
Via Billy
Fourteen years ago my life changed forever as I arrived in the United States, holding tightly to hope and a promise.
That promise was freedom and a dream of a better life.
I entered this beautiful country as a documented immigrant at the age of 18 in August 2002, almost one year after 9/11. After surviving 15 years of oppression under Sharia in Iran, I felt older than my years. I had seen too much and I knew all too well the suffering of those who were subjected to Islam. What I had witnessed and experienced had left my soul weary. But in America, I felt safe. I was able to breathe, and I could stop looking over my shoulder and living in fear.
I could now believe in miracles. Here I was, the newest member of the greatest country in the world. It was my rebirth into freedom. I was in a new place that viewed me as a human; someone of value to society. Finally, my life mattered. I was a daughter of liberty; a citizen of the U.S.A.
I’ve never forgotten those who I left behind -- and I have dedicated my life to them. How could I turn my back on them, when I know all too well the vicious suffering women endure in Islamic-ruled countries?

To Fight Climate Change, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman Deputizes Thought Police
Via Billy
Officials from a number of state AG offices expressed anxiety about Schneiderman’s controversial plan to investigate and possibly prosecute not only energy companies, but think tanks, for challenging the science underpinning some of the more alarmist statements coming from the Al Gore camp of the party on climate issues. Newly-released emails, obtained under freedom of information laws, reveal a level of discomfort with Schneiderman’s strategy.
New docs reveal that even allies wonder if activist AG went too far

2016 is the Flight 93 election: Charge the cockpit or you die.
Via John
You may die anyway. You—or the leader of your party—may make it into the cockpit and not know how to fly or land the plane. There are no guarantees.
Except one: if you don’t try, death is certain. To compound the metaphor: a Hillary Clinton presidency is Russian Roulette with a semi-auto. With Trump, at least you can spin the cylinder and take your chances.
To ordinary conservative ears, this sounds histrionic. The stakes can’t be that high because they are never that high—except perhaps in the pages of Gibbon. Conservative intellectuals will insist that there has been no “end of history” and that all human outcomes are still possible. They will even—as Charles Kesler does—admit that America is in “crisis.” But how great is the crisis? Can things really be so bad if eight years of Obama can be followed by eight more of Hillary, and yet Constitutionalist conservatives can still reasonably hope for a restoration of our cherished ideals? Cruz in 2024!
Not to pick (too much) on Kesler, who is less unwarrantedly optimistic than most conservatives. And who, at least, poses the right question: Trump or Hillary? Though his answer—“even if [Trump] had chosen his policies at random, they would be sounder than Hillary’s”—is unwarrantedly ungenerous.
The truth is that Trump articulated, if incompletely and inconsistently, the right stances on the right issues—immigration, trade, and war—right from the beginning.

Another attempt on Vladimir Putin's Life
Via comment by Sioux on Putin bans Rothschilds from Russia
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
Inquiry points to that an assassination attempt was made on President Vladimir Putin. What inquiry points to is those who were behind this, thought that Mr. Putin had returned home from the G20 and this was a direct attack on Mr. Putin's life.
Mr. Putin's vehicle was traveling one direction and another vehicle crossed over from the other direction and smashed head on into the President's vehicle.

Putin bans Rothschilds from Russia
Via Iver
Vladimir Putin has banned Jacob Rothschild and his New World Order banking cartel family from entering Russian territory “under any circumstances. Putin recently reminded his cabinet that he paid off the Rothschild’s debt and “grabbed them by the scruff of the neck and kicked them out Russia’s back door.”
This meeting featured the President pounding his fist on the table and vowing to destroy the New World Order, and according to a Kremlin source Putin is making great strides towards this goal.
