Trump broke with Justice Dept, called for release of memo
Via Billy
President Trump broke with top officials at the Justice Department and called for the release of a classified memo purported to list Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) abuses by the U.S. government, The Washington Post reported Saturday.
Despite warnings from top officials at the agency, Trump reportedly told Attorney General Jeff Sessions through Chief of Staff John Kelly that he wants to see the memo released, believing that it will shed light on the special counsel investigation.
Trump “is inclined to have that released just because it will shed light,” a senior administration official told the Post.

Czech election result: EU panics as populist Zeman wins - and he WELCOMES EU referendum
THE Czech election has been won by Milos Zeman leading to a nightmare for the EU over the President's populist policies and threats to hold a referendum on leaving the bloc.
Pro-EU academic Mr Drahos conceded defeat this afternoon before the final votes were counted.
It means Mr Zeman, aged 73, has secured a second term in charge of the nation, beating pro-EU academic Drahos.
And he did it on the back of a tough stance against immigration and courtship of closer ties with Russia and China.

Of Patriots and Ethnic Nationalists

I have been a long time reader and occasional commentator on a wide variety of right-wing web sites since the mid 1990s. The first, and for a long time the largest right-wing forums were run for, and populated by. self-described “patriots”. These people self-identified with the US flag, the US Constitution, the US military, US history and the disappearing Mayberry America of a bygone era.
After a while, and in response to the continued misbehavior of the Federal government at the Waco and Ruby Ridge atrocities, a more radical subset of the patriot right came into existence, and created their own sites. The “Three Percent” or “Threeper” sites were some of the first supporting this tendency. The long-running Western Rifle Shooters Association (WRSA) has became, over time, home-base for the “armed patriot” right faction, in the same way that Free Republic has long been the home for the less militant patriots.

Reed Gold Mine, North Carolina – First Gold Discovery
Via Knuckledraggin My Life Away
The Reed Gold Mine in Cabarrus County, North Carolina is the site of the first documented gold find in the United States. It would lead to the first gold rush—a half-century before the major Western rushes began.
Prior to this first find, the Spaniards had vainly sought large gold deposits in the southern Appalachian Mountains, and the English colonists searched to no avail for reported Spanish and Indian mines. But it was not until 1799 that significant deposits were discovered. In that year, Conrad Reed, the 12-year-old son of John Reed, found a gold nugget while playing along Little Meadow Creek that ran through his father’s farm. John Reed at first ignored the discovery, using the large 17-pound yellow rock as a doorstop in the Reed house.

Christian Persecution in Missouri
Modern American society seems to have little understanding of what really happened before, during and after the War Between the States. To see evidence of this one need look no further than the shocking success in eradicating and censoring Southern monuments and artwork, the names of various buildings and roads, or even symbols of Southern history itself. And while some attempts to educate through popular media have been made, such as in the 2013 movie Copperhead or Redford’s The Conspirator, the predominance of radical northern views on Southern history has predictably glossed over the truth of what many communities experienced at the hands of the government.

Refugees in Switzerland behave like movie stars: Want expensive clothes and don’t integrate
A Swiss youth hostel in the canton of Baselland, wanted to care for three unaccompanied child refugees. The idea was to give them everything they needed for successful integration. The result was disastrous.
In the summer of 2016, the three child refugees were given free youth homes that cost normally on average 300 francs (258 euros) per day, per person. They weren’t even moved into their rooms in fall of 2016, when the trouble started.
To be prepared for winter in Switzerland, the home carers supplied the three young men with winter clothes. But they didn’t like the clothes: “They were disappointed and told us they would rather go shopping at H&M or Dolce & Gabbana,” a care worker said.
