Goodness, do I remember this song from Angeles City, PI '74-'75 during a few months receiving cobalt treatment at the Makati Medical Center in Manila and wonder where Nanette of 275 Laguna Street, Angeles City is now? The most beautiful girl ever.

A Sacrifice for His People: The Imprisonment of Jefferson Davis
In 1866 Margaret Junkin Preston of Lexington, Virginia, a sister-in-law of Stonewall Jackson, wrote a poem she called “Regulus.” Regulus was a Roman hero who was tortured by the Carthaginians but never yielded his honour or his patriotism.
Her verse, which did not mention Jefferson Davis by name, was a reflection on the imprisonment of President Davis—a tribute to Davis’s nobility and patriotism under suffering and an indictment of the viciousness of his captors. Indeed, our President’s lowest point in fortune was also his finest hour. In the horrors of defeat and conquest after a sacrifice that has few equals in history, the internal conflicts of the Confederacy slipped into the background for most Southerners. Jeff Davis, brave and unyielding under torment, become a revered symbol for his people, and would remain so ever after.
Of course, it will surprise all the brilliant scholars conducting that other tax-supported meeting here in town, that Southerners like Mrs. Preston were well-versed in the classics. Among the tortures inflicted on Regulus by Rome’s worst enemies, the Carthaginians, was removal of the eyelids. She compares this to the Yankees shining a light in Jeff Davis’s eyes 24 hours a day.

Plan to diversify elite NYC schools draws fire from Asians
Via Billy
A plan to diversify New York City's most elite public high schools is drawing fire from Asian-Americans, the minority group that dominates the schools.
Mayor Bill de Blasio announced last weekend that he wants to scrap the test that governs admission to eight so-called specialized high schools including Stuyvesant High School and the Bronx High School of Science.
He called the test "a roadblock to justice, progress and academic excellence."
Fewer than 10 percent of students who score well enough to gain admission to the schools are black or Latino. Sixty-two percent are Asian.
The head of the Coalition of Asian-Americans for Civil Rights says scrapping the test would cause "chaos in the Asian-American community."

"A Hero In The Family"

I recently received this newspaper clipping from Macon County Tennessee from 1944. It concerns my 1st cousin, Pfc. Jasper T. Smith.
Jay as he was known was the eldest son of my mother's oldest Sister. As my mother was the youngest of ten children, her oldest sister was married and having children of her own by the time she was born.
Although Jay was technically her nephew they were so close in age that they we're in the same classes in school and grew up as virtual brother and sister.
I grew up hearing stories about him from my mother and members of her family but never knew the full circumstances of his death.

Geert Wilders Demands the Release of Tommy Robinson at Massive London Rally
As TGP’s Cassandra Fairbanks previously reported, UK activist Tommy Robinson was arrested on May 25th for suspicion of breaching the peace while livestreaming to report on the trial of a child grooming gang and will now have to serve a prior 13 month suspended sentence.
Articles about the arrest and subsequent imprisonment of Tommy Robinson were rapidly scrubbed from the internet after the British government put restrictions in place banning any reporting on the matter.

Steve Hilton: Trump’s criticism of G-7 is ‘unprecedented’ scream the elite -- That’s the whole point of Trump!
You know you’re getting somewhere when your opponents are all attacking you in the same way.
So President Trump should feel a
strong sense of satisfaction with a job well done after leaving the
slightly pointless Group of Seven (G-7) summit in Canada on Saturday for
another likely far more consequential summit in Singapore with North
Korea dictator Kim Jong Un.
