Chick-Fil-A To Stop Donating To Christian Charities Branded ‘Anti-LGBT’
Via Billy
In an interview with Bisnow, Chick-fil-A President and Chief Operating Officer Tim Tassopoulos announced that the famous fried chicken chain plans to make significant changes in which charities it donates to, in part because “as we go into new markets, we need to be clear about who we are.” Amid continued boycotts of the highly popular and successful chain over its donations to supposed “anti-LGBT” groups and causes, Tassopoulos revealed that the company’s foundation will no longer donate to some high-profile Christian organizations.

House Intelligence Committee chairman Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) “acted in concert” with Politico to leak allegedly false information from the impeachment inquiry as part of a “scheme” to advance the “inquisition” against President Donald Trump, according to an explosive defamation lawsuit filed by a senior Trump White House official on Monday.
White House official Kash Patel, who is a senior counterterrorism official on the National Security Council (NSC), filed the lawsuit in Virginia court in which he says Schiff “weaponized the media” to advance his impeachment agenda.Patel is a former staffer to the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep.

When I Die
Via Huỳnh Vĩnh Linh
When I die.
When I die, don't take me to the ocean,
Take me to Lao Bao, Khe Sanh.
For every night, I hear resounding marches,
Oh, we were proud soldiers once upon a time!
When I die, don't take me to the ocean,
Take me to Ben Het, Dak To,
My comrades had adventurous dreams there
And have vowed keeping forever the beloved Truong Son
When I die, don't take me to the ocean,
Take me to Binh Gia, War Zone D
Let my soul become transcendent with the pledge
That a soldier's life is for his country
When I die, don't take me to the ocean
Take me back to the U Minh
Where we might hear the sound of the sky
Celebrate the victory and bring back to the country.
Take me back to the U Minh
Where we might hear the sound of the sky
Celebrate the victory and bring back to the country.
When I die, don't take me to the ocean,
Give me back to the Vietnamese people.
Wrap my body with the yellow flag with three stripes,
And shroud it discreetly with the sacred spirit of our Vietnamese
When I die..
When I die, don't take me to the sea
Take me back to Lao Bao, Khe Sanh
Let the night listen to the song
Oh! The war soldiers are so proud.
When I die, don't take me to the sea
Take me back to Ben-Shout, Đắc-Tô
Where my friends, dream of the lake river
May the town hold the beloved Truong Son.
When I die, don't take me to the sea
Take me back to Binh Fake, Chiến Khu Đ
For my soul super escape with eden
Dear warriors, pray for the debt of water.
When I die, don't take me to the sea
Take me back to the Water, Bat Dress
U Minh night, hear the sound of the sky
Celebrate the victory to bring back to the country.
When I die, don't take me to the sea
Give me back to the Vietnamese people
My body pack three yellow red stripes
Please stay close to the mountain of the mountain..

Khi tôi chết..
Khi tôi chết, đừng đưa tôi ra biển
Đưa tôi về Lao Bảo, Khe Sanh
Để đêm nghe vang dội khúc quân hành
Ôi ! Lính chiến một thời kiêu hãnh quá.
Khi tôi chết, đừng đưa tôi ra biển
Đưa tôi về Ben-Hét, Đắc-Tô
Nơi bạn bè tôi, xây mộng sông hồ
Nguyện trấn giữ dãy Trường Sơn yêu quý.
Khi tôi chết, đừng đưa tôi ra biển
Đưa tôi về Bình Giả, Chiến Khu Đ
Cho hồn tôi siêu thoát với lời thề
Thân chiến sĩ, nguyện xin đền nợ nước.
Khi tôi chết, đừng đưa tôi ra biển
Đưa tôi về Cái Nước, Đầm Dơi
Đêm U Minh, nghe tiếng thét vang trời
Mừng chiến thắng để dâng về tổ quốc.
Khi tôi chết, đừng đưa tôi ra biển
Trả tôi về với dân tộc Việt Nam
Gói thân tôi ba sọc đỏ màu vàng
Xin liệm kín với hồn thiêng sông núi..

Battle for the Old Dominion
With the recent triumph of the Democrat Party in the 2019 statewide elections in Virginia, it will only be a matter of time before an effort is made to rewrite Virginia law concerning “memorials for war veterans.” Progressive efforts to topple these monuments have been thwarted by legal obstacles, and now, with a majority in both houses of the Virginia legislature, Democrats will undoubtedly include a potential revision to any monument protection law as part of a larger “social justice” legislative package. The culture war will consume Old Virginny.
Part of the problem, of course, rests with the modern education system. The minds of mush who run around demanding an end to symbols of “white supremacy” are encouraged by an academic establishment more interested in activism than understanding and knowledge. Two recent pieces on Virginia history, written or influenced by professors at the University of Virginia, underscore the problem.

NC: The time has come to minimize politics in redistricting
Via Cousin John
The time has come to minimize politics in redistricting.
The Constitution of North Carolina has a long and storied history. John Locke of England, perhaps the single greatest influence on those who wrote the foundational documents of our nation, was the co-author of North Carolina’s 1776 Constitution.
The 1776 Constitution provided for a House of Commons and a Senate. Voters of each county elected one Senator and two House members. Six, later seven, towns elected a representative to the House of Commons. The 1776 Constitution distinctly favored property owners since only property owners could vote for Senators. Members of the House, the Senate, and even the Governor had to meet property requirements.

The Execution Slaying of Jesse James
As a teenager Jesse James watched his stepfather tortured at the hands of Federals. This experience embittered the young man even further against the Union.
With the formal outbreak of war in 1861, Frank joined a local Confederate company and fought at the Battle of Wilson’s Creek. In May of 1863, a Union militia company raided the James’ farm looking for members of Frank’s unit. They tortured Jesse’s stepfather the physician Reuben Samuel by hanging him by the neck from a tree and lowering him only when death was imminent. They also flogged young Jesse mercilessly.

Adam Schiff, Founding Father: The chief impeacher tries to redefine ‘bribery’ under the law.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff isn’t a constitutional scholar, but he plays one on Impeachment TV.
His latest gambit is an attempt to redefine “bribery” in the Constitution to include President Trump’s behavior toward Ukraine.
The Constitution specifically mentions bribery, along with treason and high crimes and misdemeanors, as impeachable offenses. It offers a definition only for treason. In an interview with NPR on Nov. 12, Mr. Schiff opined on Mr. Trump’s impeachable offenses:

It’s democracy — not Trump — that’s on trial on Capitol Hill
Public impeachment hearings have begun in Washington, but nothing has changed. The Ukraine “rebound” scandal simply follows from the Russia collusion probe as the latest front in a smoothly operating, taxpayer-funded, propaganda war of political intimidation: an attempt not only to undermine President Trump, but also to demoralize and break the will of those who voted for him.
Democrats, trying to “move on” from the disastrous testimony of Robert Mueller, offer us a new cadre of government-insider witnesses, most of whose evidence would be laughed out of any courtroom in America.
