Poor but Proud: Dixie’s Forgotten People: The South’s Poor Whites

 

A review of J. Wayne Flynt, Dixie’s Forgotten People: The South’s Poor Whites. Bloomington and London: Indiana University Press, 1979.

Professor Flynt, the author of this volume, concentrates on the economic condition and the cultural life of poor white South­erners, but does not fail to mention some of the vices of the American majority, especially the attempt, often unsuccessful, to impose their own values and lifestyle on the South. According to Flynt, one of the most difficult obstacles confronting those who attempt to assess Southern poor whites is the abundance of stereotypi­cal definitions and judgments. For example, contrary to the popular view, all poor whites in the South were not (and are not) racists and red­necks, nor were (or are) most of them Klansmen and Holy Rollers. As Flynt observes in the Preface, “Getting to know people as individuals dissolves many of one’s pre-conceived notions about them, and so it is with Southern poor whites.”

Via comment by EIEIO on The Truth About Jefferson Davis

 

The monument of President Jefferson Davis in New Orleans has been removed. Masked construction crews worked to dismantle the monument in the dead of night, guarded by masked gunmen. Just as the Jacobins and the Bolsheviks celebrated their victorious revolutions against France and Russia by desecrating the Cathedral of Notre Dame and dynamiting the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, so the Left is celebrating its victorious revolution against America by destroying historical monuments – starting small with the vulnerable Confederates as an entering wedge, but marching onward from there and never calling retreat. Indeed, the Left fully intends to do figuratively to American history what the Jacobins and Bolsheviks did literally to the Bourbons and the Romanovs.

Jefferson Davis, a hero from the Mexican War, Mississippi planter, and American statesman before he was elected President of the Confederate States of America, died in New Orleans on December 6th, 1889. His funeral procession was the largest ever in New Orleans and one of the largest ever in the South. Among the tens of thousands who lined the streets and paid their respects were many of his former slaves, who remembered their former master and life on his plantation fondly. On February 22nd, 1911, New Orleans dedicated a monument to Jefferson Davis, corresponding with the 50th anniversary of his presidential inauguration. “The South seeking a leader for her highest office, chose him from among her fittest men, a profound student of the Constitution; a majestic creator; in character firm; in judgment sound; in purpose resolute,” read the pedestal of the monument. “His deeds are enshrined in the hearts of the people for whom he suffered, and his deeds are forever wedded to immortality.” On May 11th, 2017, New Orleans removed the heavily vandalized monument, and it is rumored that it will be relocated to a nearby slavery museum to stand forevermore as an object of scorn and ridicule.

Former Attorney General: I Don't See Evidence of Collusion or Obstruction

Via Billy

Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on "America's Newsroom" he has seen no evidence of a crime when it comes to the Russia investigation.

"I don't see evidence of any crime having been committed by anybody in relation to this investigation," he said, adding that the only crime was committed by the Russians by hacking emails and releasing them to damage the Clinton campaign.

Mukasey said he has also not seen evidence of obstruction of the investigation or collusion.
"Nobody's found any evidence of collusion, and if there were, it wouldn't be a crime," said Mukasey, a former federal judge.

Gohmert: No Need For Special Counsel, Mueller/Comey -- ‘Dirty’ and Should Recuse

Via Billy

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) said special counsel Robert Mueller should recuse himself from the Russia investigation because he is ‘dirty’. He also ripped into Comey saying he is dirty as well.

Gohmert started out by saying he’s had a queasy feeling for the last 8 years as the Obama administration has essentially gotten away with one scandal after another, specifically ‘fast and furious’ where people actually lost their lives.

He then references Adam Schiff’s comment about President Trump possibly firing special counsel, Mueller:

Gohmert: “Over the last 8 years we have looked desperately for a way to try to get a fair and independent counsel because we desperately needed one for all of the scandals in the Obama administration and the courts have made very clear Congress does not have authority to appoint a special counsel, independent counsel. That’s an executive function Congress does not have.

Ken Starr: Sessions 'acquitted himself beautifully' in Senate testimony

 

Former special counsel Ken Starr told Fox News' "The Story with Martha MacCallum" Tuesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions "acquitted himself beautifully" in his testimony before the Senate intelligence committee.

Starr, whose "Whitewater" investigation led to the eventual impeachment of of former President Bill Clinton, described Sessions as a friend of 36 years who is a "man of honor [and] a man of the law."

"I don’t think a lot was revealed today. I don’t think we’re much farther down the road," Starr said of the committee's ongoing Russia investigation. "But I think that the American people saw that this attorney general is just a great human being with an enormous amount of passion and determination to try his very best to do the right thing."

Sessions testimony: The vindication of an honest man

June 13, 2017, may be remembered as the day in which the Democratic campaign to take down Donald Trump over the Comey investigation finally fell apart. Attorney General Jeff Sessions came to defend himself against a series of baseless charges, and was treated by several Democratic senators with the contempt that might seem excessive had he been the head of a particularly nasty criminal syndicate.

No one watching the hearing could fail to be impressed by the Attorney General’s candor, by his willingness to open himself up and answer all of the charges directed his way. At the same time, the badgering of the witness by Senators Mark Warner (D-Va.) and Kamala Harris (D-Calif.), the refusal to give him time to answer, the attempt to throw him off guard, the heavy-handed speechifying under the guise of posing a question, and the innuendo of Senator Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), are going to be remembered as an embarrassment that will ring down the curtain on the investigation

Robert Mueller

Via John "we may as well at least START thinking about what we should do in the event
he is driven from office by lies, innuendo, cowardly, Republicans, etc. Just as the death of Caesar was the last gasp of the Roman Republic, such an event would signal the death of our own Republic, unless we follow the last remedy offered by our nation's Founding Fathers..... Individually, we would have to decide if this is the right 'solution."

If not, what is?

Marching in the streets, mass civil insurrection, calling/writing Congress, watching NFL football......
the choice is ours to make; one by one.   I've already made mine."

                                                                          **********

It is just frustrating and extremely exasperating that the Dems still are calling all the shots.  This is an obvious witch hunt, and the way they work they can cause damage on trivial, if not totally contrived evidence ... anybody remember Scooter Libby?  Not only are the Republicans in the majority of both houses, but have the WH  and their people in charge of the DOD, AG, etc. and yet the special counsel is run by Dems and they do whatever they wish.

Sessions needs to step back into it and initiate investigations into Comey, Lynch, Clinton and Obama.  We'll see how much the left wants the investigations to continue then!

We have a small window of opportunity to install programs and policies to turn this country around before '18 and '20 ... the swamp must be drained and replacements put in place.

Trying to look on the positive side.  If there is nothing to find, then Trump will be exonerated and no one can claim any kind of special treatment with such partisans investigating him.  Plus, looks like there will be an investigation of Lolita Loretta.  Sessions can order a special counsel on that any time he wants.  Maybe the Demonrats will want to play some tit-for-tat and agree to be nicer re Russia/Russia/Russia if the GOP goes easy on Lynch.  J. Edgar Comey and Lolita Loretta could be in big legal trouble.

12 Democrat staffers arrested, charged with voter fraud

Via Billy

A group of Indiana Democrats were arrested in connection with submitting fraudulent voter registrations.

Prosecutors charged 11 temporary canvassers, and their supervisor, Holiday Burke, who were working for the Indiana Voter Registration Project for submitting fraudulent voter registration applications before the 2016 election, according to the Associated Press.

The group is managed by Patriot Majority USA who has links to the Democrat Party, including to former President Bill Clinton and former Sen. Harry Reid, the AP reported.

Focused on getting out the black vote, it became the subject of an investigation in August after Hendricks County flagged around a dozen registrations as suspicious.

CONFIRMED: Obama Had His Own ‘Back Channel’ To Moscow

Via Billy

The Obama administration had a “back channel” to communicate with Russian officials, according to a new report detailing Moscow’s efforts to delegitimize the U.S. presidential election results.

The news comes after Trump White House aide Jared Kushner was criticized for allegedly trying to open a back channel line of communications with Russian officials during the transition last year.

Former intelligence officials called Kushner’s alleged back channel “dangerous,” but now Bloomberg reports the Obama administration had its own back channel to Moscow.

Comey Colluded with Obama on Radical Islamic Murder of US Marines

Via BIlly

FBI Chief James Comey released a statement the day after the shooting announcing they were investigating the shooter’s motive.

FBI Statement on Shootings at Military Facilities in Chattanooga, Tennessee
The FBI’s Knoxville Field Office, along with the Chattanooga Police Department and other law enforcement partners, are working jointly to investigate today’s shootings at a military recruitment center and a reserve center in Chattanooga, Tennessee in which four individuals were killed and three injured. The shooter, Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, 24, is also deceased. While it would be premature to speculate on the motives of the shooter at this time, we will conduct a thorough investigation of this tragedy and provide updates as they are available.

In December the Comey admitted the bureau still had no idea what motivated Abdulazeez to kill the innocent Marines and sailor on the July day.

The FBI under Comey was completely baffled.

Legal Notice:  “Proudly Announcing The Newly-Formed Law Firm of Mueller & Comey.  We Specialize In Bungling Cases, Ignoring Legal Standards, And Bringing Down Presidents.”

I have not yet received the announcement in the mail.  But I expect it will arrive any day now.  
After all, Robert Mueller and James Comey appear to be acting in concert as co-special counsel.  Why not make it official with a formal notice of their union?

It was obvious it would evolve this way from the very moment Mueller was named on May 17th.
Which is why I wrote a column two days later, arguing that Mueller should resign as special counsel.
