An Arch Rebel Like Myself

 

A review of “An Arch Rebel Like Myself;” Dan Showalter and the Civil War in California and Texas, by by Gene Armistead and Robert D. Arconti (North Carolina: McFarland & Co., 2018).

Discussion of the War for Southern Independence often includes facts about who were the last to lay down their arms.  It is commonly argued that Gen. Stand Waite’s troops were the last to surrender, on June 23, 1865.  But new research reveals that another unit of soldiers outlasted them by one day.  That unit was a command of Texas, of the 4th Texas Cavalry, Arizona Brigade (there were more than one command, sometimes confused).  They never surrendered.  Knowing Gen. Lee’s glowing assessment that his best troops came from Texas, this should be no surprise.  But it may take one aback that much of the regiment and the commander himself—were from California.

Goodies From Ol' Remus

Copenhagen was occupied from April 1940 until a few days before Germany surrendered in May 1945. 30,000 troops surrendered to the British.

James Kunstler muses on the upcoming elections and the Democratic Party strategy:

The party could not have issued a clearer message than “white men not welcome here.” Very well, then, they’ll vote somewhere else for somebody else. And if it happens that the Dems don’t prevail, and don’t manage to get their hands on the machinery of congress — then what?
For one thing, a lot of people get indicted, especially former top officers from various glades of the Intel swamp. It shouldn’t be a surprise, given the numbers of them already called before grand juries and fingered by inspectors general. But it may be shocking how high up the indictments go, and how serious the charges may be: sedition… treason…?

  Next Big Future - 25% of world murders are in Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico and Columbia ... with just 8% of the world’s population, Latin America accounts for roughly a third of global murders

Washington Examiner - CNN's Don Lemon: "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them."

Leading Progressives are more honest, they delete the word "men". But Mr. Lemon has, um ... issues .

  War, Fed On Everything - Nothing short of genius can account for losing so consistently given the enormous resources available to American forces. The United States cannot fight a sizable land war. Iran can. Russia can. The American military means air power and little else. The Army hasn’t fought a serious war since 1973, the fleet since 1945. In long periods of inaction, things deteriorate. Crucial supplies cease to exist, spare parts aren’t there, the logistics train quietly becomes inoperable. Money goes instead to pricey weapons of little practical use. America is no longer a country of tough rural kids. Social engineering has rotted the ranks. The military has suffered years of feminization, SJW appeasement, affirmative action, lowered physical standards, and LGBTQ insertion.

Election Tampering: Polling place in Pittsburgh, PA has Vote Straight Democrat on door

 

Looks like voter fraud and voter tampering has already been exposed in America, as a polling station in Pittsburgh, PA has Vote Straight Democrat printed on the door. The only way the Deep State and Democrats can even have a chance at winning the 2018 midterms, is if cheating simply takes place in mass...And it already looks like a polling station in Pittsburgh is already illegally being bias towards one party. For Americans who have yet to go to the polls be sure you look for things like this, especially if you see polling stations to vote a certain way...Because it's illegal. See something say something is very serious, we must protect America by protecting the midterm election from Democrat cheating and tampering.

It Begins… Man Fatally Shot By Cops While Unlawfully Confiscating His Guns In Serving “Red Flag” Order

Via Iver

See what happens when you violate the rights of the people?  This is only the beginning and I hope the family of this man sues the pants off the police and the state for their lawless behavior.  A Ferndale, Maryland man was shot and killed at home when two Anne Arundel County police officers who were violating their oath and this man’s Fifth Amendment rights by attempting to steal his property (guns) under Maryland’s unconstitutional “red flag” “laws.”

President rallies base in final midterm push in Missouri — 'there is no other politician with a connection to voters like this'

“Four more years! Four more years!” a raucous crowd jamming the Show Me Center in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, chanted on Monday night, just a few hours before polls opened for what may be the most significant midterm election in years.

Though President Donald Trump was technically stumping for Republican senatorial candidate Josh Hawley, it was crystal clear to everyone in that arena and everyone watching the final rally that Tuesday’s midterm elections are largely a referendum on the man at the podium.
There is no denying it is a tall order for Republicans.

Comment on: Teacher, Student Brawl in Band Class Caught On Camera

 

While not being one to condone violence, w/o a MAuFig to answer to, it's not out of the realm of possibility, this may save the kids life from a hood alpha. Even as a kid, I never saw why a male would risk character assassination, let alone the potential to be labeled a pedo in prison, over some kid w/ an inferiority complex, knowing how the system can be abused (or even an outright law suit set up).
In the past, have posted the mean GPA of teaching students to be 3.8/4 scale(I assume these to be arts degrees, as they are handed out Zimbabwe/Venezuelan currency. The ivey towered 'educators', lowered the acceptable standards around 1990, to comply with Title IX. And socialist just-us epidemic has been on the rise ever since, IMO. When Lindsay Shepard simply presented a 'gender bender' public broadcast debate, attacking Dr. Jordan B. Peterson's character for resisting compelled speech regulations, she considered herself to be a on the left side of politricks. After being reprimand by her Grad studies professors, which went outside school regulations, she #walkedaway from the left and the university's Grad program. Tomorrow is seized by the prepared, and she recorded the unsanctioned meeting on her phone. Last I heard, she and Dr. Peterson, have legal grievances filed against her former school (slander and def of char). Having to finish her MA at a new school, with a hoard of femaNAZIs nipping at her heels, she choose to keep her head low.

She just graduated, and here is her opinion, which sounds more like a public consensus, on how delusional the Marxist have become. Lindsay Shepard shares her experience on the low expectations for a North American Graduate studies program in the, perverse studies of art called 'The Humanities', a modern day socialist (in) breeding ground.

Michigan Reporter Caught On Tape Saying ‘F**k Could You Imagine John James Winning’

 

A reporter for a Michigan newspaper called Michigan Senate Republican candidate John James’s campaign looking for an interview and thought she hung up the phone before leaving a voicemail saying “fucking John James … that would suck.”

Brenda Battel, a reporter for Huron Daily Tribune, left the voicemail on James’s campaign offices phone number at 3:40 PM Monday, requesting the interview for Wednesday, the day after the Nov. 6 midterm elections. In the voicemail, she expresses her interest in interviewing James, believes she hung up the phone, and then goes on to curse about a possible James victory, saying she doesn’t think it will happen.
