The Truth About Jefferson Davis

 

Rosemont Plantation, the childhood home of Jefferson Davis, is nes­tled in the gently rolling hills of southwest Mississippi. Carefully restored, the Davis family home is shaded by moss-hung oaks and catalpa trees, surrounded by lush vegetation and warmed by newly-greened memories of the past. It is the last place on earth one would expect to collide with one of those anti-Davis myths, born of Yankee fury and hatred, still restlessly and unaccountably alive.

In the company of two friends, I visited Rosemont on a May after­noon so adorned by a fresh breeze and an obliging blue sky that it could have been gift-wrapped.

Meddling Juncker told Theresa May to call election - which could derail Brexit

Via Billy

The President of the European Commission apparently advised the British Prime Minister that her 17-seat majority would not be enough during exit talks.

Mr Juncker allegedly claimed a larger majority would help Ms May during “pinch points”, such as establishing the sum of the UK’s divorce bill.

But it seems Mr Juncker’s advice has now served to put Mrs May on a weaker footing as negotiations approach, as she faces calls to resign.

Trump has signed more bills into law at this point in office than four of his predecessors

Via Billy

Despite calculated Democratic distractions and media attacks, President Trump has signed more bills into law at this point in office than four of his predecessors, besting former Presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush. So says House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy himself.

“Considering that President Trump is getting hit with slings and arrows from all sides including from within his own White House, he is counterpunching and deflecting far better than the press and Democrats think. Trump’s chief concern now is to get congressional Republicans to stop being scared of their own shadow and pass his pro-growth agenda,” Ford O’Connell, adjunct professor at The George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management, tells Inside the Beltway.

Via Billy

Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said Sunday he doesn't "see anything" that amounts to obstruction of justice in regards to President Trump's interactions with former FBI Director James Comey.

Lee, a conservative critic of Trump during the campaign, dismissed worries about the seriousness of Comey's account of his conversations with Trump relating to the FBI's Russia investigation.

"I don't see anything that amounts to obstruction," Lee said on ABC's "This Week." "I don't see any evidence of intent to obstruct. I don't see any indication that there was even the potential for corruption here or obstruction of justice."

Look how diverse our dead are! London police chief touts ‘diversity’ of the terror victims

Via Billy

This is what happens to a nation when political correctness usurps common sense.

And if the left has its way, it could come to America.

Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police, Cressida Dick, spoke on Saturday about the victims of the June 3 London terror attacks, and her comments infuriated many on social media.

“It’s desperately sad and poignant but among those who died is someone who’s British, there are French, Australian, Canadian, Spanish,” she told the Associated Press.
