'They Simply Cannot Believe It': Farage Says Trump Dropped 'Bombshell' on UK Establishment

First Lady Melania Trump met with ‘Chelsea Pensioners’ and school children at the renowned Royal Hospital retirement home for war veterans on Friday morning.

‘Chelsea Pensioners’ are residents at the Royal Hospital, which is a retirement home for former members of Britain’s army where “any former soldier of the British Army over the age of 65, who is facing spending their advanced years alone, can apply for residence as an In-Pensioner,” according to the Royal Hospital.

The Royal Hospital was founded by King Charles in 1682 as a retreat for veterans and was inspired by Les Invalides in Paris. It is home to around 300 male and female veterans including those who served in Korea, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, and World War II.

'She Goes Not Abroad in Search of Monsters to Destroy’, John Quincy Adams

Via Cousin John

On July 4, 1821, Secretary of State John Quincy Adams delivered an historic address on U.S. foreign policy. After reading the full text of the Declaration of Independence, he continued:

It is not, let me repeat, fellow citizens, it is not the long enumeration of intolerable wrongs concentrated in this declaration; it is not the melancholy catalogue of alternate oppression and entreaty, of reciprocated indignity and remonstrance, upon which, in the celebration of this anniversary, your memory delights to dwell.

Nor is it yet that the justice of your cause was vindicated by the God of battles; that in a conflict of seven years, the history of the war by which you maintained that declaration, became the history of the civilized, world; that the unanimous voice of enlightened Europe and the verdict of an after age have sanctioned your assumption of sovereign power, and that the name of your Washington is enrolled upon the records of time, first in the glorious line of heroic virtue.

GERMANY’S WAR: The Origins, Aftermath & Atrocities of World War II

Establishment historians characterize National Socialist Germany as a uniquely barbaric, vile and criminal regime that was totally responsible for starting World War II and carrying out some of the most heinous war crimes in world history. Germany's War by John Wear refutes this characterization of Germany, bringing history into accord with the facts.

Newt Gingrich: GOP could win big in November thanks to Democrats’ radical, unrealistic immigration stance

 

 Republicans have the chance to secure a major victory and expand their 51-49 majority in the U.S. Senate in the November midterm elections – largely because Democrats are advocating  radical, impractical and unpopular immigration positions.

As more and more Democrats throw their support behind so-called sanctuary cities, abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and promoting open borders, more and more Americans are expressing their vehement opposition to these positions.

A German Remembers Vietnam

Via Lê Bá Dzũng

 

President Richard M. Nixon later cited my report about this incident in his book, The Real War. So pardon my vanity if I quote a United States President quoting me: Nixon wrote: “…German journalist Uwe Siemon-Netto provided a vivid illustration of how communist guerilla groups use terrorism to effect their purpose. Siemon-Netto, who accompanied a South Vietnamese battalion to a large village the Vietcong had raided in 1965, reported: "Dangling from the trees and poles in the village square were the village chief, his wife, and their twelve children, the males, including a baby…"

The Vietcong had ordered everyone in the village to witness this family first being tortured, and then hanged. "They started with the baby and then slowly worked their way up to the elder children, to the wife, and finally to the chief himself. ... It was all done very coolly, as much an act of war as firing an anti-aircraft gun…"

Speech @ Uwe Siemon-Netto

Defense Distributed on Beating Back DOJ Censorship of DIY Firearms: ‘The era of the downloadable gun has formally begun’

With help from the Second Amendment Foundation, Defense Distributed and Cody Wilson are back. Wilson first made waves in 2012 when he launched Defense Distributed, a repository for 3D-printed gun designs.

The Department of Defense, under President Barack Obama, shut down Defense Distributed in 2013 for allegedly violating export restrictions. Wired magazine repeatedly called Wilson one of the “Most Dangerous” people alive.

Wilson fought back in court and won. This is a major First and Second Amendment victory, for both gun ownership and free speech.

Trump to Jim Acosta in UK: 'CNN is Fake News; I Don't Take Questions from CNN'

In a hearing full of creepy Strzok moments, one has folks asking if it’s ‘actually real’ … It is.

Via John

You would think that if it was real, you would find it everywhere but I can't.

Strzok has become a viral Internet sensation after making an array of bizarre smirks that creeped out millions of TV viewers and were immortalized in Twitter memes.

A woman named Holly Bowie posted a jaw-dropping video clip which showed a defiant Strzok looking hyper-defensive during his testimony before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees. The committees have oversight of the FBI, where Strzok is employed.

Social media went wild because no one could believe the footage was real (it was).  Bowie tweeted: “[This is] completely real. I personally recorded it from my tv. I was so shocked when I saw it and played it back…I couldn’t believe it.”
