The King and the Fool


The King of Rock and Roll brought himself up by his bootstraps, served Uncle Sam as a soldier and before his early demise came he had made an honest fortune for himself and many others. For that, he is belittled by those who hardly knew him.

“A little nod to the good old days, back when black visionaries could invent rock-and-roll but only a white man could become the king.” Washington Post pop music critic Chris Richards commenting on Elvis Presley being awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Donald Trump.

Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo Mississippi in 1935 as the surviving twin son of Vernon and Gladys Presley. His twin, Jesse was stillborn. He grew up in a two-room house and when he was 13 moved with his family to Memphis.

Presley’s rendition of “That’s All Right” by black delta blues writer Arthur Crudup was the beginning for Presley’s career. Presley spoke often of his love and appreciation of black music and black artists.

On the streets of Cuba: Painstakingly maintained cars are a 'living museum' of pre-1959 design

The “Civil Rights” Races

Claude Bowers in his notable book The Tragic Era that I have mentioned in some of these articles made note of the Union League Clubs.

John Chodes, author of Segregation–Federal Policy or Racism? (Shotwell Publishing, Columbia, South Carolina, noted the Union League on page 26 of that book. He said: “The Union League began as a political club in New York in 1863 to revive the sagging patriotic spirit of the Northern states during the War for Southern Independence. It’s philosophies were similar to the Radical Republicans so it fused with and became part of Republican vote-building machine for blacks in the post-war South…The Union League’s expenses were covered by the sale of confiscated white Southerners’ property, thus inciting the volunteers to harass the people in time of peace by unlawful seizure to provide the means of paying themselves. This further alienated whites from blacks.” In other words, the Union Leagues were “legal” Yankee/Marxist thieves.

Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) told Breitbart News that President Donald Trump should use his presidential veto power to force funding for construction of a southern border wall, offering his remarks in a Thursday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight with hosts Rebecca Mansour and Joel Pollak.

Gosar said, “[GOP] leadership has capitulated to what the Democrats want” in relation to appropriations for the construction of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. “I hope [Donald Trump] holds his ground because, unfortunately, I think our leadership has folded the towel,” he added.

Gosar remarked, “It always seems like the Democrats outplay us on this because we’re not willing to hold ground and play tough. It’s the most disgusting thing you’ve ever seen.”

Blue State Blues: Democrats Stole the Election in California — Legally, Through ‘Ballot Harvesting’

  Mailed-in ballots (Alex Edelman / Getty)

California Democrats “stole” the midterm election using a new method that is illegal elsewhere but completely legal in the Golden State: a practice called “ballot harvesting,” which allows third parties to submit mail-in ballots for voters.

It sounds “bizarre,” as outgoing Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) described it to the Washington Post on Thursday — but it is absolutely true: Democratic operatives handed in pile after pile of other people’s ballots.

And Demorats are proud of it, mocking Republicans for failing to take advantage of a new law signed by Governor Jerry Brown in 2016, over GOP objections, that allows “ballot harvesting,” and which some Republicans are now blaming for their defeat.

The practice explains several mysteries about the 2018 election, such as: why mail-in ballots caused massive shifts toward Democrats in races Republicans thought they won on Election Night; why Republicans won the turnout battle in the primary, but lost it in the general election; and why Democrats with party backing defeated fellow Democrats without it — even when the latter had more money.

I have followed China’s development, its stunning advance in forty years from impoverished Third World to a huge economy, its rapid scientific progress. Coming from nowhere it now runs neck and neck with the US in supercomputes, does world-class work in genetic engineering and genomics (the Beijing Genomics Institutes), quantum computing and quantum radar, in scientific publications. It lags in many things, but the speed of advance, the intense focus on progess, is remarkable.

Repost 2007: Kerry And His Mystical Khmer Dau (Rouge)




Cambodia was mainly at peace until Lon Nol overthrew Prince Sihanouk. Up until that time, one could drive to Angkor Wat (Mrs. Kennedy was enthralled with it) or the beach, something that still wasn't possible/recommended the last time I was there in the autumn of '94/spring of '95. The border area was certainly not peaceful, but the fighting was between the NVA/VC versus the Americans/ Vietnam Cong Hoa soldiers. The Cambodians had little to do with it.Kerry's contention that he delivered arms to the Khmer Dau {Rouge} while Sihanouk was still in power is a blatant lie, as they weren't around. (*"the Khmer Rouge didn't take the field until the Easter Of ensive of 1972") What is strange is that Kerry was caught with a different lie on the same subject last year. (That they shot at him. You'd think if he was bringing them arms they wouldn't!)

See *Fact and fiction - The Washington Times: Editorials/OP-ED - August http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2004/aug/12/20040812-090520-8656r/ and *

Kerry is baffling. Of course, a liar can't remember what lies he has told, so they make mistakes; however, he obviously would remember the Khmer Dau {Rouge} problem from last year, but for some reason won't let it go, although it has been historically proven that these incidences could not have happened. The Khmer Dau {Rouge} were responsible for 1 to 3 million deaths depending on the estimator. (1.7 million would be one-fifth of the population) Go to the Tuol Sleng Museum in Phnom Penh. http://www.downtheroad.org/Asia/Photo/2Cambodia_Pictures/9Tuol_Sleng_Genocidal_Crime.htm You won't go back.

* Andrew Antippas served as a Foreign Service officer in the U.S. Embassy in Saigon (March 1968 to February 1970) as the "Cambodia Man" and at the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia (1970 to 1972). He spent 32 years with the State Department (1960-92)

*"Finally, concerning the assertion that Mr. Kerry was shot at by the Khmer Rouge during his Christmas 1968 visit to Cambodia, it should be noted that the Khmer Rouge didn't take the field until the Easter Offensive of 1972, when the Vietnamese forces that had attacked the Cambodians initially in March 1970 pulled out of Cambodia to attack the U.S. and Vietnamese forces in Vietnam. Only Vietnamese Communist soldiers were found on the battlefields of Cambodia in 1970-72."

The FBI rummaged through Cain’s home for six hours, even after the whistleblower handed over the documents, according to Socarras.

Comment on Global Cooling is Real – Major Temperature Low 2046?

 http://www.biocab.org/Geological_Timescale.jpg

Mostly due to our failure to educate, the vast majority have not idea of history. And no clue of basic science. We have college educated morons. A prime example is democrat darling, the socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. College degree in economics, when she was ask how to pay for free college and health care, her reply was brilliant, “It’s like rent ya know, you just pay it.” Her college professors must be so proud. But I digress.

The overwhelming majority of people think history is what happened last week. They have no idea about earth history. Right now today, CO2 levels are at historic record lows. Through the history of earth CO2 levels have higher, much higher than today. Actually, the falling CO2 is what lead to the extinction of all the giant herbivores followed by the giant carnivores during the Pleistocene Era. As the CO2 levels fell, plant life died. Without the abundant availability of plants the giant herbivores could not survive. And without their food supply, the giant carnivores became extinct.

The labeling of CO2 as a pollutant is pure Junk Science. The truth they ignore is the planet Earth has survived and life has flourished with the CO2 levels 15 to 20 times higher than today. Today CO2 levels are .038% but in the past they have been as high as .68%. And during all those times LIFE EXISTED. There is one correlation they totally ignore. As CO2 levels rise, more of the earth turns green, with plant life. With the increased CO2 levels today, we see areas of earth green that were never green in modern times. As CO2 levels rise, food crops grow bigger, healthier, and more abundant. Remember your basic science from about third or fourth grade. Plants convert CO2 to Oxygen to grow. Basic science, remove the plants food (CO2) and the die. A 1993 review of scientific greenhouse studies found that a doubling of CO2 concentration would stimulate the growth of 156 different plant species by an average of 37%. And not to put on too fine a point, but no plants, no other life.

 When dinosaurs walked the earth the CO2 levels were between Ten Times to Fifteen Times the CO2 level today. NOT ten to fifteen percent but TEN to FIFTEEN TIMES what they are today. And if we are to believe the “global warming scientists” earth was just a flaming sphere where nothing could live. Because isn’t that exactly what they are saying today. We only have TEN YEARS to stop CO2 from rising are all life will perish.

The true irony is they have painted themselves into a trap. With the sun’s activity falling dramatically, earth is cooling. It is very possible we could be heading into a severe cooling period. While the idea that higher CO2 levels would lead to starvation planet wide. A cooling period much like the “little ice age” would in fact cause global famine. As we cool, using their logic. To save the earth shouldn’t try to increase the CO2 level to warm the surface? There is a got-ya moment.

CO2 as a greenhouse gas is laughable. It may retain minor amounts of heat but not in sufficient quantities to overheat the planet. Again, knowing a little science helps. The planet Mars, temperatures there rarely get above freezing. And yet the Martian atmosphere is 93.5% CO2, compared to earth at .038%. With that much CO2, shouldn’t Mars be warmer?

I am going to digress off topic again, but I believe it is relevant. Much of the impetus driving global warming and the blaming man is our turning away from faith. Without faith and without God they are left looking into a mirror. I do not see science and faith in God as being opposite in any way. They actually blend together nicely. But, without any faith, their only solution is to blame themselves. When the fact is, there is no blame, just nature. They have taught the “Theory of Evolution” for over 100-years. It is still a theory because there is zero proof it works. Actually there is more evidence it does not work. But that would be another article.

If anyone is interested in viewing historic CO2 levels here is a fairly good article. The first graph in the article show we are at an all time low for CO2 concentrations.

The confluence of state of the art technology and significantly lower prices are driving the growth. Vietnam Dental Tourism is at the center of this trend, connecting patients with clinics and ensuring top quality treatment.

“Reconstruction” Was (and is) Marxism

 Image result for Communist Manifesto obama

Back quite a few years ago, establishment historian James  M/ McPherson wrote a book I have often referred to, Abraham Lincoln and the Second American Revolution. When I first read it, it was a revelation to me. In it McPherson bragged about how Abraham Lincoln championed the cause of the Forty-Eighters in Europe. He gave us one of Karl Marx’s quotes in regard to the sainted Mr. Lincoln.

In 1865 Marx  praised the great rail-splitter as “the single-minded son of the working class” who led his “country through the matchless struggle for the rescue of an enchained race and the reconstruction of a social world.” 

Marx’s statement, like most of what he said, was utter hogwash. Neither he nor “Father Abraham” gave a flip for  the “enchained race” but Lincoln used them as an excuse when it was convenient for the furthering of his (and Marx’s) agenda–the reconstruction of a social (and political) world.

Earlier this year was the holiday of Purim in which we Jews celebrate our triumph and survival in ancient Persia.  It’s mainly a kids’ holiday; like many Synagogues ours had a carnival with games, tickets, prizes, face painting, food (a local shop made falafel and it was amazing – even my normally-finicky progeny liked it!)… it’s a fun day.  A lot of preparation and work for the adults, but the kids always have a blast – so it’s worth it.
Naturally, I carried concealed.  Which I do every time when I’ve got the kids at a Jewish-themed event.  One person noticed – side note to myself: have to get an IWB holster and a longer vest – and asked if I was crazy bringing a gun into the Synagogue.  My reply?

Holy cow! Knickers the enormous steer has avoided the abattoirs by being too big.

Seven-year-old whose size saved him from the slaughterhouse goes viral


First, the news, such as it is: there is a giant cow named Knickers in Western Australia and people have gone crazy.

Technically he is not a cow, but a steer (a neutered male). But he is giant, standing at 1.94 metres (6ft 4in ) to his withers (the shoulder). This is just shy of the world record-holding steer, Bellino, who lives in Italy and stands at 2.02 metres. Knickers, a Holstein Friesian, weighs in at 1,400kg (220 stone) and is believed to be the biggest steer in Australia.

And, for some reason, Knickers and his sizeable existence are the talk of the internet, making news all over the world.

While you’re drone striking Omaha Nebraska you really think that the people who live where all the food is grown, the electricity is generated, and all the freeways and rail lines run through, that some of them aren’t going to take it personal? Let’s talk about those people you think are going to be unfeeling automatons who will have no problem killing their friends and neighbors on your behalf. They are us.

  Selco, Organic Prepper - SHTF is not about you peacefully working in your vegetable garden while the world goes to hell around you outside the bubble. The darkness can reach you wherever you are. I asked Selco why people needed to know about the horrors he faced. He replied, "So you won’t be shocked and so you can shorten adapting period while you are shocked". I asked him what the event was that opened his eyes to the fact that he was stuck in Hell on Earth. "When I saw people killing for fun. Killing without reason. Killing with no concerns about punishment or the law". It’s really not a stretch of the imagination to predict that our nation could be headed to a very dark place.

  CJ Roberts, Spectator - Chief Justice Roberts watches as justice now is converted to mockery by Left “Progressives” who lost the Presidency in 2016. Every time the President of the United States seeks to exercise his Constitutionally granted executive authority, the Democrats and their Left allies race to West Coast federal courthouses in search of a judge, who rapidly enjoins the President’s action with a sweeping nationwide order extending far beyond the judge’s local jurisdiction. The system makes a mockery of the courts, as Chief Justice Roberts now desperately realizes. It creates a cynicism towards the rule of law by manipulating and leveraging judges into pawns of Democrat “Progressives.”

‘It Is Shocking That I Have To Explain This’: DHS Secretary Dispels Myths About Migrant Caravan

 

1. The Caravan Is Violent
 2. The Caravan Is Large And Organized
 3. Caravan Members Are Largely Not Eligible For Asylum
 4. Caravan Members Are Largely Male
 5. Yes, There Are Criminals Among The Caravan Members
 6. No One Was Killed Or Injured During The Violence On Sunday

The migrant caravan the left-leaning media has been gushing over finally reached the U.S.-Mexico border on Sunday, and things got violent.

Migrants threw rocks and projectiles at border patrol, and one San Diego agent said the group, which is made up of mostly men, used women and children as human shields. Naturally, leftist media outlets tried to downplay the violence and turn it against President Donald Trump, lambasting the use of tear gas against the caravan, even though the Obama administration did the same thing.

White Liberals Present Themselves as Less Competent in Interactions with African-Americans

A new study suggests that white Americans who hold liberal socio-political views use language that makes them appear less competent in an effort to get along with racial minorities. 

 
Racial bias can put people of color at a disadvantage when interviewing for a job, buying a house, or interacting with the police. New research suggests that bias may also shape daily interactions between racial minorities and white people, even those whites who tend to be less biased.

According to new research by Cydney Dupree, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Yale SOM, white liberals tend to downplay their own verbal competence in exchanges with racial minorities, compared to how other white Americans act in such exchanges. The study is scheduled for publication in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
