             Sarah Knox Taylor                          Varina Howell Davis


On 17 June 1835 27 year old soldier Jefferson Davis married 21 year old Sara Knox Taylor, daughter of his commanding officer, Zachary Taylor, later president of the US. Taylor refused his permission because Davis was a soldier, so Davis resigned his commission and against his commander's wishes married Sara in Louisville.

The couple moved south, where Davis' elder Brother Joseph had an 1800 acre plantation on the Mississippi near Vicksburg. His brother gave them use of Brierfield plantation next door. Both Jefferson and Sara contracted malaria or yellow fever. After only three months of marriage, Sarah died in September, 1835. Davis himself nearly died. He became a recluse for several years after Sarah's death, but eventually re-married Varina Banks Howell in 1845. She was 18

A group of bikers said it plans to protect supporters from possible violence at a Donald Trump rally scheduled to be held in Phoenix on Saturday.

“We’re going to stand between them and any protesters that come onto the property and hopefully protect them from any bodily harm, should it get to that point,” Cindy Perrin with Lions Guard Arizona said.

The rally is expected to begin Saturday about 4 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum on the Arizona State Fairgrounds near 19th Avenue and McDowell Road.

The protest will be held at nearby Encanto Park from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Perrin said the biker group, made up mostly of retired police officers, such as herself, and veterans, will be wearing American flag bandanas so they are easy to identify.

Confederate Flag Removed From Pennsylvania Capitol Display

Via comment by Anonymous on Victims of the Confederate Fury

 Confederate flag removed from historical display in Pa. Capitol by state Rep.
Fat bitch
 
Finding it a symbol of racism and hate, Gov. Tom Wolf ordered a Confederate flag removed from a Flag Day exhibit in the state Capitol after the chairwoman of the black legislators' caucus took it down but event organizers put it back up.

Wolf took action Wednesday after Capitol police had been summoned to retrieve the flag and return it to the display.

The reproduction of an 1863 Confederate battle flag was part of a historical society's collection of flags that have flown over what is now the U.S., including from territories and the colonial period.
Rep. Vanessa Lowery Brown, a Philadelphia Democrat, said she was astonished to see the flag as she walked through the Capitol's east wing on Tuesday.

"I just did what I thought was right and I took the flag down," said Brown, who heads the Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus.

She carried it into the chambers and gave it to the House speaker.

Comment By Anonymous On "NYT blames Republicans for Orlando."

"For those who have made their politics and agenda activism their god, any thing that does not fit their predetermined world view will always be some thing of an unknown reason, with unknown motives. Seems clear enough to me. The reported shooter was a MUSLIM. Enough said. World wide Muslims are known to murder homosexuals. I don't know of ANY Republican politician that has called for the murder some one just because they are a homosexual. A Muslim cleric? Yes.

If the scribblers at the NYT want to blame any one for what has happened, then all they need to do is look in the mirror. It is they who use any and all events, to exploit. Again there is the call for banning firearms, abolishing the 2nd Amendment. That an AR-15 was NOT used, does not matter to them. They don't like that firearm, therefore it ought to be banned. France has the kind of "sensible gun control laws"

They dream about imposing here in the FUSA, but that still did not stop the shooting in Paris. Nor has Chicago's strict gun control laws, made that city a safe place to live.

The NYT scribblers are living in their own fantasy land. Gays and lesbians are a protected class and given preferred treatment and considerations. In the distorted view of the NYT, it is socially acceptable behavior to be a bigot and vilify veterans, those who hold to the traditional doctrines of the Christian faith, those who question the official dogma on "climate change", those who state their are only two genders/sexes (male and female), patriots and I suppose I could add more "minorities" to this list that the NYT holds in contempt.

It is the NTY that continues to promote the racism. With them, every thing is the fault of white people. Blacks living here, still enjoy a standard of living that is higher that just about any place else on this planet, yet they still want to wallow in the slavery mindset. Interesting how they never get around to holding the Democratic party and politicians accountable for their actions and rhetoric.

A Muslim, will cite the Koran for the justification of murdering some one because they are a homosexual. A Christian will call on the same homosexual to repent of his sin. IN the view of the NYT, telling some one to repent of their sins is a "hate crime". Come to think of it, if general public one day decided to live as best they could in compliance with the just the 2nd half of the 10 Commandments, that would almost over night put the party of Evil (the Democratic Party) out of business."

Hillary Clinton Received Secret Memo Stating Obama Admin ‘Support’ for ISIS

Via Billy

Hillary Clinton received a classified intelligence report stating that the Obama administration was actively supporting Al Qaeda in Iraq, the terrorist group that became the Islamic State.

The memo made clear that Al Qaeda in Iraq was speaking through Muhammad Al Adnani, who is now the senior spokesman for the Islamic State, also known as ISIS. Western and Gulf states were supporting the terrorist group to try to overthrow Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad, who was being propped up by the Russians, Iranians, and Chinese.

In August 2012, a “SECRET” classified memo was sent to various top Obama administration officials and agencies, including to the State Department and to Clinton’s office personally.

NC: 2-pronged approach to NC Commie Core math earns initial Senate approval

 http://stopcommoncorenc.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Dots-and-sticks-math-ecard.jpg

North Carolina lawmakers are planning to reintroduce traditional math courses into public high schools in response to students' and parents' complaints that the multistate Common Core standards are confusing and overly complicated.

The Senate on Wednesday granted tentative approval to a measure that would direct school districts to offer traditional math courses like algebra and geometry alongside the newer "integrated" Math 1, Math 2 and Math 3 pathway that the state adopted as part of Common Core in 2012.
