Democrats Accuse AG Barr of Doing Exactly What Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch Did for Obama
We know what Democrats are guilty of by what they accuse Republicans of doing. We’ve all heard that axiom (or some variation of it) before, yet every time it happens it’s no less shocking that they think they can get away with it. And right now that axiom is proving itself true once again with their targeting of Attorney General William Barr.

Border Patrol Overwhelmed, Chief Says Agency Has Made 30,000 Arrests in the Past 10 Days
Via Billy
Chief of Law Enforcement Operations for U.S. Border Patrol, Brian Hastings, said his agency has apprehended more than 30,000 illegal immigrants on the southern border in just the past 10 days.
Border Patrol Chief Carla Provost tweeted about the overwhelming number of migrants making their way to the border and called it “unsustainable” and “beyond capacity.”
She also said temporary living facilities are experiencing crippling overflow, forcing the government to release illegal immigrants into neighboring communities.

A Cancer Cure Has Gotten Out Of Control And Has Spread Beyond The Confines Of Modern Medicine
Via Herta
While Wall Street awaits the entry of over 1,813 new cancer drugs into human clinical trials representing billions of dollars of investment capital, the announcement of a bona fide cure for cancer comes from an outsider – patient Joe Tippens.
An astounding report of Mr. Tippens’ cancer cure is circulating the internet now. First diagnosed with small cell lung cancer in 2016 and with tumors popping up on scans in virtually every organ in his body, in desperation Joe Tippens began using a dog de-worming agent at the suggestion of a veterinarian.
He was told this cancer cure “was batting 1,000 in killing different cancers.” He heard one of the scientists involved in the research was cured. He had no time to dither. He was weeks away from dying.

FBI’s spying campaign against Trump yet another reason to probe Comey
President Trump has called it “Spygate,” but it’s looking more like “Get Smart” or the classic Mad magazine cartoon, “Spy vs. Spy.” According to The New York Times, the FBI in 2016 actually sent a buxom blonde to pump Trump-campaign nobody George Papadopoulos for information about collusion.
It would be hilarious if the investigation hadn’t continued on (in various forms) for over two years, plaguing the president with damning “news” coverage that now turns out to be fundamentally false.
Just how feckless and reckless was the Crossfire Hurricane investigation? (The name alone is amatuerish.) Did the FBI and Justice Department cross the line after falling for Russian disinformation or the machinations of smear merchants Fusion GPS?
Attorney General William Barr’s determination to get to the bottom of it all has prompted a fury.

Remington to Offer Military/LE Grade Rifles, Shotguns to Civilians – NRA 2019
For most gun owners, a broken or malfunctioning gun is nothing more than an inconvenience. But for military and law enforcement personnel, a failure to fire can be the deciding factor between a safe trip home and a body bag.
Police departments and military units require manufacturers like Remington to guarantee a higher level of quality control than most civilian customers, but now Remington Defense is making that quality available to the consumer marketplace.

Memories of a Misspent Youth in Charlottesville
Via Billy
Charlottesville is an enchanting Virginia college town graced by the neoclassical architecture of the university’s founder, Thomas Jefferson. I flew there with two friends, the talented photographer Jonathan Becker and the Vietnam Special Forces Silver Star winner Chuck Pfeifer, all of us close buddies of the deceased. It was the memorial service for Willy von Raab, scourge of drug dealers and illegal immigrants while commissioner of customs for eight years under Reagan. The humorist P.J. O’Rourke and I were the two speakers, and after a rousing ‘America the Beautiful’ we retired for an afternoon of southern hospitality and University of Virginia co-ed watching.
This is not woke, I know, but neither are heterosexuality, beauty or grace — or Christianity, for that matter. Charlottesville brought back memories of careless sunlit days lounging around the frat house drinking mint juleps and writing love letters to *Sweet Briar girls: Mary Blair Scott, Ellen Hurst, Natalie Farrar, three beguiling sultry southern belles, now in their late seventies or even early eighties. Believe you me, as they say in the Bronx, jejune Oxford evenings à la Sebastian Flyte had nothing on us — zero, zilch.
*USARV Headquarters, Long Binh, RVN
At any rate, after about a week I went for an interview and the man who interviewed me was Dudley, who just happened to be from Virginia. After a few questions, he asked me if I knew what Weejuns were, and, of course, I told him that I did, so we had a conversation about the different girl's colleges in Virginia. After that, he took me to the Colonel and simply said, "He'll do!"

An Intense Look into the Evacuation of South Vietnam
Via Jonathan
Honorable Exit by Thurston Clarke delves into the facts behind the evacuation of the South Vietnamese people. Many Democrats have shown their disgust with President Trump over his stance on illegal aliens and refugees. Yet these same Democrats blocked Vietnamese refugees, including orphans, when millions were trying to escape South Vietnam as it fell to the communists. In reading this book, people can see the true meaning of the word "amnesty" as well as the hypocrisy of the Democrats.
In 1975, about 130,000 South Vietnamese were evacuated on transport planes or picked up by the American Navy. They eventually ended up in refugee camps, where all but 10,000 were on their way to becoming American citizens. But those Americans who helped with the rescue were thwarted by many at home. *The book tells how "President Ford had asked Congress for $250 million in humanitarian funds necessary for the evacuation of Americans, and between 150,000 and 200,000 Vietnamese." * How well I remember. A few days later, secretary of state Henry Kissinger insisted that the "United States had an obligation to evacuate its South Vietnamese allies." Yet Congress resisted such help.
Former vice president Joe Biden, while a senator, was one of the Democratic hypocrites. He helped to seal the fate of many U.S. allies by cutting off U.S. support for those battling the communists. In an op-ed, published by the Washington Post, Quang X. Pham, who was born in Saigon and later served as a Marine pilot in the Persian Gulf War, criticized Biden: "[he] charged that the [Ford] Administration had not informed Congress adequately about the number of refugees — as if anyone actually knew during the chaotic evacuation."
*Even worse was then-governor Jerry Brown, who did not want the Vietnamese refugees settling in California. He stated, "We can't be looking 5,000 miles away and at the same time neglecting people who live here." Brown even attempted to prevent planes carrying refugees from landing at Travis Air Force Base near Sacramento.* How well I remember II.
Clarke explains how many Vietnamese were left behind during the chaos. Some of those left behind suffered severely. The North Vietnamese soldiers attacked thousands of helpless civilian refugees who included young women, elderly citizens, and children. "A pregnant lady" – abandoned by her lover to face her fate. (The tears, they flow freely)
Because many honorable Americans took the initiative, they were able to save many. Evacuation B.T.These heroic Americans in the CIA, the U.S. military, and other agencies tried to help the South Vietnamese evacuate. For example, Colonel William LeGro, a military intelligence officer, stated, "Let's ignore the embassy and organize our own evacuation." People were safely led to planes, helicopters, and boats by the "underground railroads." They risked their careers and lives by disobeying orders, dodging bullets, forging papers, concealing identities, even pledging personally to sponsor evacuees.
The book shows an iconic photograph of a helicopter airlifting the South Vietnamese, who climbed a staircase to get to safety. Thurston noted, "Regarding that famous photo, everything I assumed was wrong. It was not on the roof of the American Embassy and was not an American helicopter. The people rescued were all Vietnamese after the stairway and rooftop were prepared secretly by American Marines and the Air American people. The staircase was very elaborate, wide, and sturdy. It was one of thirteen roofs that were prepared without the approval of the American Ambassador. The Americans that helped construct these staircases, and performed the airlift, put themselves at risk. For example, the pilot in that famous photo, Bob Caron, told how earlier, while trying to rescue others from different rooftops, had his Huey helicopter take a bullet in the drive shaft."
What Clarke wants Americans to understand today: "I put in this quote, 'this impulse to save the Vietnamese was an act of conscience as well as a gesture of contempt for Capitol Hill.' Many righteous Americans believed that evacuating Vietnamese who faced retribution under a communist government represented a last chance to accomplish something noble at the end of an ignoble war. The American rescuers had an attitude that they were going to evacuate everyone who wants to go and that they will not leave until everyone who wanted to get out would. They refused to abandon the South Vietnamese allies and looked upon Congress bitterly because they would not even consider providing assistance." It is ironic how those same people today badmouth Donald Trump. Maybe they need a reality check by looking in the mirror.
By noon on March 16, a mass of humanity; troops, dependents and civilians was clogging the old road. Some 400,000 civilians, 60,000 ARVN, and 7,000 Rangers began the attempted escape to the sea
By the time that the last straggling men, women, and children had reached Tuy Hoa on the coast; 300,000 civilians, 40,000 ARVN, and 6,300 Rangers were missing, never to be accounted for.
