The opening line still hurts across the years.
“Dear Mother — I am here a prisoner of war & mortally wounded.”
John
Winn Moseley was writing home from the Gettysburg battlefield on July
4, 1863. He was a 30-year-old Confederate from Alabama being cared for by his Yankee captors.
“I
can live but a few hours more at farthest,” he wrote. “I was shot
fifty-yards of the enemy’s line.
They have been extremely kind to me.”
Moseley
died the next day. His letter — on delicate blue paper, stained with
what might be blood — made it to his mother in Buckingham County, Va.,
and the family kept it ever after.

Bozell & Graham: Media blackout exposes corrupt media
Via David
While most of America was transfixed by Game 7 of the World Series, Fox News Channel was doggedly pursuing a new story: The FBI's probe into pay-for-play schemes at the Clinton Foundation and the State Department has been far more expansive than anyone reported so far and has been going on for more than a year. FBI sources even warned there could be indictments down the road.
Then, The Wall Street Journal broke another new story online, saying, "Secret recordings of a suspect talking about the Clinton Foundation fueled an internal battle between FBI agents who wanted to pursue the case and corruption prosecutors who viewed the statements as worthless hearsay." Senior officials wanted to tell FBI agents to "stand down" from a Clinton Foundation probe.
This is why an overwhelming majority of Americans tell pollsters it's obvious the media are undisguised Hillary boosters.
That's two nuclear explosions in one night. What was the reaction from the news media?
Crickets.

(Not) Keeping Up with the Cardassians: The Regime's Failed Show Trial in Portland
Via Horace
Cardassia is a fictional planet in the Star Trek universe ruled by a totalitarian state with a court system quite similar to our own. Trials on Cardassia do not to examine the charges against the accused, since a guilty verdict is foreordained. The defendant is assigned an attorney called a “public conservator” whose role is not to represent the interests of his client, but rather to assure “the productive functioning of our courts.”
“I’m here to help you concede the wisdom of the state, to prepare you to accept the inevitable with equanimity,” one conservator explained to a bemused client unfamiliar with the system. “Whatever you’ve done, whatever the charges against you, none of that really matters in the long run…. This trial is to demonstrate the futility of behavior contrary to good order. Everyone will find it most uplifting.”
The federal conspiracy trial of Ammon and Ryan Bundy and five of their associates was supposed to follow the Cardassian script – but the prosecutors lost the plot when they encountered defendants they couldn’t bluff or bully, defense attorneys who conscientiously represented their clients, and a jury that demanded actual proof of the charges being considered.
Wallow in your failure, you smug loser.

The Fall of an FBI Director: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Via Billy
Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is a New York writer focusing on radical Islam.
Every agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic” and to “bear true faith and allegiance to the same.” And he swears to “faithfully discharge the duties of the office.”
It is much the same oath taken by members of Congress, by military officers and government employees. It is an oath that goes back to Washington and Lincoln. Its origins lie in the Constitution.
And FBI Director James Comey violated it.
Comey is neither thoroughly corrupt nor a career leftist. The FBI Director is simply a coward.

Benghazi guards turned on US diplomats in 2012 attack, sources say
Via Billy
John "Tig" Tiegen was there and says guards turned on Americans.
An obscure private firm hired by the State Department
over internal objections to protect U.S. diplomats in Benghazi just
months before the American ambassador and three others were killed was
staffed with hastily recruited locals with terror ties who helped carry
out the attack, multiple sources told Fox News.
The explosive charge against Wales-based Blue Mountain Group comes from several sources, including an independent security specialist who has implemented training programs at U.S. Consulates around the world, including in Benghazi, where he trained a local militia that preceded Blue Mountain. The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Blue Mountain used local newspaper ads to assemble a team of 20 guards, many of whom had terror ties, after securing a $9.2 million annual contract.

Want To Know Why Team Trump Has Been So Positive Of Late? Here’s Why…
Via Billy
Internal polling data is showing a remarkably strong trend in Donald Trump’s favor over the last week. So much so, Team Trump has been quietly coming to terms with the remarkable prospect of this country’s first 3rd Party candidate winning the presidency.
(That’s right, Donald Trump is as much a 3rd Party/Independent candidate as he is a Republican.)

Call it, “cautiously optimistic” which
is far better than the mood inside Team Trump just a month earlier when
the same internal polling data was showing Hillary Clinton building what
many thought might be an insurmountable advantage.
Word is, the Clinton campaign has all but given up on Ohio, and near to doing the same in Florida, with North Carolina looking suspect for Team Clinton as well.
Why?

Did Newsweek Already Print a Special “Madam President” Hillary Edition?
Via comment by Badger on your post CIVIL WAR II – FOURTH TURNING INTENSIFYING (PART 2...
UPDATE: Newsweek has confirmed to Infowars that the ‘President Madam Hillary’ edition is real but “not for the public” to know about.
A Twitter user who works as a bookstore tweeted the images with the comment, “I work at a bookstore and we typically get magazines early and lookie what we got here.”
UPDATE: Newsweek has confirmed to Infowars that the ‘President Madam Hillary’ edition is real but “not for the public” to know about.
Has Newsweek already printed a special “Madam President” issue that is being shipped out even before Americans vote in the presidential election tomorrow?
That’s the question raging amongst Trump supporters, who have been circulating images of the magazine online.
One of the images shows a “special
commemorative edition” of Newsweek with Clinton on the cover behind the
words “Madam President – Hillary Clinton’s Historic Journey to the White
House.”
A highly partisan blurb on a separate
page talks about how Hillary defeated “fear and hate-based conservative
peddled by Donald Trump” to triumph and ensure that “the highest glass
ceiling in the western world had finally shattered.”
