Stonewall Jackson Billboard Installed in Downtown Charlottesville

The Virginia Flaggers are pleased to announce that our second billboard is up in downtown Charlottesville! This time we used a Judy Smith Photography photo of the Thomas J “Stonewall” Jackson monument in Jackson Park, and a quote from the general.

We love how it turned out and are excited about plans for more of these across the Commonwealth!  This one will be honoring Jackson and making liberal heads explode in Charlottesville for the entire month of May.  :)

Fear of the Left: The Most Powerful Force in America Today

Via Merlin

 

Conservatives are keeping quiet about their beliefs.
 
The dominant force in America and many other Western countries today is fear of the Left.

This is a result of the fact that the most dynamic religion of the past 100 years has been neither Christianity nor Islam. It has been leftism. Whoever does not recognize this does not understand the contemporary world.

The Last Salute of the Army of Northern Virginia

 

 Lee's Surrender, By My Great Grandfather

The following is an article which provides General Joshua Chamberlain's comments and memories concerning the Army of Northern Virginia's Surrender at Appomattox.

The Last Salute Of The Army Of Northern Virginia. 
 
From the Boston Journal, May, 1901
 
Details of the Surrender of General Lee at Appomattox Courthouse, April 9th, 1865.

LENIENT TERMS OF GENERAL GRANT.

By General J. L. Chamberlain.
It is an astounding fact that among the thousands of official documents bearing upon the Civil war in the National Archives at Washington there is absolutely nothing dealing with one of the most dramatic features of the great four years' internal struggle--the actual ceremonies attendant upon the formal surrender by General Lee's army of all Confederate property in their possession at Appomattox Courthouse thirty-six years ago.

When General Lee surrendered to General Grant, April 9th, 1865, the war was virtually over, but of the details of the surrender, the pathetic sadness on the one side, the jubilant satisfaction on the other, and, more particularly of the precise arrangements, the mode of procedure and the Northern army officer whose duty it became to take charge of the rebel arms and the rebel battleflags as they were given up--of all this our official war records tell not a word.

America’s Second “Civil War” will really be our first!

 

There has been lots of stuff on the internet, both  videos and articles, lately about what they are calling “America’s Second Civil War.” Actually, that title  is based on a false assumption. The war that was fought from 1861-65 was not a civil war. It was a war of Northern aggression to prevent Southern independence, because Southern independence would have meant no more tariff money from the South for Lincoln and his friends to finance their pet projects in the North.

The North and South were not fighting over the same government. The South had no interest in capturing the Northern government—they just wanted out, but the North needed the tariff money and so they fought.  The slavery question we have all been taught to believe was the North’s  Holy Grail was, at best, peripheral.

DACA should be overturned -- A new lawsuit might succeed in doing that

Via Billy

A lawsuit filed Tuesday by Texas and six other states may finally result in the long-overdue termination of the DACA program, which was created without legal authority by President Obama in 2012 to allow children brought into the U.S. illegally to temporarily remain here under certain conditions.

The lawsuit does not address the question of whether allowing the roughly 700,000 illegal immigrants protected from deportation under DACA is a good policy or a bad one. Instead, the suit contends correctly that President Obama exceeded his authority under law and under the Constitution to create DACA without the approval of Congress and without taking other required steps.

Yes, Obama's Iran Nuke Deal Really Was the Sum of All Lies

Via Billy

 

Benjamin Netanyahu's damning report of Iran's lies undermines the whole foundation of the deal.

 Just yesterday, we wrote about the upcoming negotiations and policy considerations surrounding Barack Obama’s 2015 Iran nuclear deal — how President Donald Trump was facing pressure from European allies to once again waive sanctions and continue pretending everything is all well and good. Soon after we published, along came Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to effectively nuke the idea that Iran has ever done anything but lie about its nuclear program.

Macron: Migrant Violence, Terror Is Europe’s Fault, ‘Not Linked’ to Mass Immigration

 Over Half of Women Afraid to Use Public Transport as Assaults, Robbery Common

Violent crime, terror attacks, and epidemic levels of sexual assault in Europe are “not linked” to mass migration, Emmanuel Macron has said, blaming “discrimination” and inequality for the phenomena.

Speaking to George Washington University students in the U.S. last week, the French President also acknowledged that “90 per cent” of African migrants arriving in Europe are economic migrants and not refugees.

Macron was prompted to address the topic after a student stood up to say that Americans have watched as mass immigration “from the Middle East and Africa to Europe … over the years”, resulting in the rise of violence, crime, and terror attacks on the continent.

Highlighting “an increase in sexual assault and rape of women to the point that many women are too afraid to leave home” and “an increase in anti-Semitism to the point that in many cities Jewish citizens are advised not to wear religious garb for fear of being attacked”, she asked the President what his government is doing “to ensure the national security and the cultural identity of France and Europe”.

How about a few questions for Robert Mueller?

Robert Mueller has plenty of questions for President Trump, and maybe he will get to ask them. Most of them seemed like perjury traps rather than real questions for the president and, surprisingly, they contain very little that wasn’t in the public domain though prior leaks. In other words, the president is not a target because they have nothing implicating him, and so they want to use the interview to create such material.

But the conduct of the investigation by the special counsel and his team has raised a lot of questions as to its foundation, conflicts of interest, fairness and methods. Most of the public, based on the last Harvard Caps-Harris Poll, supports Robert Mueller going forward with his investigation, but I wonder whether that would still be the case if he were required to answer a few questions himself.

Pee-Gate Dossier Author Gets Millions to Continue Work Against Trump

 

Christopher Steele, the ex-spy who released a discredited opposition dossier claiming Trump paid Russian hookers to pee on a hotel bed, is receiving millions from anonymous donors to continue working against the president.

According to a report released by the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, Daniel Jones, the president of the Penn Quarter Group and a former staffer for Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) "secured the services" of Steele "to continue exposing Russian interference" after the election.

In addition to Steele, the Penn Quarter Group also hired an associate of Steele’s and the firm Fusion GPS.

Silent Sam statue defaced with red ink and blood from protester

 

Via comment by Anonymous on Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Grace-Filled Response To N..."A link to a photo of a communist protest at 'Silent Sam' statue yesterday. In the photo there are two prominent
individuals: A black 'female' (communist) vandalizing 'Silent Sam' and a white male UNC-Chapel Hill police officer. Guess who the worthless F--- is."


Silent Sam, the Confederate monument at UNC-Chapel Hill, was doused with blood and red ink by a protester Monday, in a defiant act that was broadcast on Facebook Live.

In an email to the media, Maya Little took responsibility for defacing the statue, which has been at the center of intensifying protests during this academic year. Little said she has been an organizer for the Silent Sam Sit-In since September. The Move Silent Sam group identified her as a doctoral student in UNC's history department.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders' Grace-Filled Response To Nasty Correspondents' Dinner Attack

At Saturday night's White House Correspondents’ Dinner, alleged comedian and feminist Michelle Wolf gave a widely-panned performance that included "jokes" about killing babies, an inordinate number of curse words, and an attack on the White House press secretary's faith and appearance.

Reporters and politicos from both sides of the aisle condemned the attack on Sanders, who was sitting only a feet away from Wolf at the time she delivered the harsh remarks. Even White House Correspondents' Association President Margaret Talev threw Wolf under the bus for the divisive monologue — although Talev hand-picked Wolf, so you can judge the sincerity of such condemnation yourself.

How Homeschoolers Defeated California’s Push to Take Power From Parents

Via David

They came by the hundreds, one newspaper said—“perhaps thousands.” Some traveled hours, others waited hours, all for the opportunity to protest one of the most outrageous homeschooling bills ever introduced: California’s AB 2756.

Spilling out into crammed hallways and overflow rooms, families poured into the Statehouse just for the opportunity to spend a few minutes speaking out on a measure that would give the government more power over parents who educate at home.
 
Initially, the bill tried to mandate fire inspections of all homeschooling families (which, not surprisingly, firefighters rejected). Then the proposal was amended—this time to force homeschooling families to give out private information about the names and address of homeschooling families.

Iran's nuclear weapons program.

Via Iver

 

(
1) @netanyahu reveals Iran's nuclear weapons program.

(2) "A few weeks ago, in a great intelligence achievement, Israel obtained half a ton of the material inside these vaults. And here’s what we got. Fifty-five thousand pages. Another 55,000 files on 183 CDs."

 

(3) "Everything you’re about to see, is an exact copy of the original Iranian material. You may want to know where are the originals? Well, I can say they’re now in a very safe place."

 

(4) Half a ton of files.

This means that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps delivered this material to Israel.

No question whatsoever.

 

(5) That tells us two things:

The IRGC wants the mullahs gone, and the IRGC knows that there will be no war.
