Saigon 1969-70 by Brad
Old photos of Vietnam and cheese: two things you can never too much of.
We've featured numerous images of Saigon from the 1960s and 1970s before, but there are always more angles and sights to explore. This set, curated by Flickr Jedi manhhai, includes film photos from an author who's only known by his first name Brad.
Our man Brad may not be the best photographer to ever grace this website, but he caught plenty of interesting tidbits of daily life, from crowds exiting a movie theater and people hanging out at a TV shop to residents riding a bus and all kinds of transportation.
Judging by the captions, Brad was likely in the Australian military, as a number of photos were taken from the Canberra Bachelors and Enlisted Men's Quarters (BEQ) on what is now Chau Van Liem Street in District 5.
Take a ride around Saigon of 1969 and 1970 through Brad's lens:

Rock ‘n Roll has a Southern Accent
Rock ‘n Roll may be the most significant cultural export in American history. There is no doubt that American culture, for good and bad, has had an enormous impact on global culture, and Rock ‘n Roll is one of our most iconic contributions. Around the world, people don’t hear Rock ‘n Roll and think of Switzerland or Brazil or Thailand. Rock ‘n Roll is purely American, and by that, I mean Rock ‘n Roll is purely Southern. It even has a Southern accent.

Democracy and Liberty
George Fitzhugh, a Virginian born in 1806, never progressed in formal education “beyond the old field school” and his learning in the law was picked up on his own. His real education came from independent and wide reading, including what he described as “whole files of infidel and abolition papers” such as the New York Tribune and Liberator. In the early 1850s he wrote that “Liberty and equality are new things under the sun,” that France and the Northern States had proved the experiment was “self-destructive and impracticable.” He saw “half of mankind [as] but grown up children” and it was apparent that “liberty is as fatal to them as it would be to children.”
Democracy and Liberty
“Democracy and liberty are antagonistic; for liberty permits and encourages the weak to oppress the strong, whilst democracy proposes, so far as possible, to equalize advantages, by fairly dividing the burdens of life and rigidly enforcing the performance of every social duty by every member of society, according to his capacity and ability.” George Fitzhugh

Strong majority supports the idea of a state "seceding" from U.S. (POLL) (83%)
Via Red Pill Jew
Most people support a state "seceding" from the U.S. whether the action is peaceful and legal-- or not.
That's according to the latest unscientific poll of about 1,700 people at SharylAttkisson.com.
In all, a combined 83% support secession. But 15% of that group said "only if peaceful and/or legal." Sixty-eight percent (68%) offer no such qualification.
Thirteen percent (13%) do not support a secession.

Gingrich: Voters will judge Dems for 'radical' impeachment push
A former Speaker of the House who witnessed Bill Clinton’s impeachment turn against Republicans says Democrats are revealing how much they hate Donald Trump and hate his supporters by moving forward with impeaching the now-former president.
Democrats in the House formally delivered one article of impeachment (pictured at left) against Donald Trump Monday, and the very next day Democrats and a handful of Republicans in the Senate defeated a procedural vote that attempted to halt the impeachment trial scheduled for Feb. 8.

Warning: Biden set to topple Trump's hard-fought wall of protection
The retired INS official considers it incomprehensible that the President of the United States and Commander-in-Chief of America's armed forces would not want to keep America and Americans safe.
"Contrary to the lies of the open-borders immigration anarchists, immigration laws make absolutely no distinction about superficial characteristics, race, religion or ethnicity," he notes.
A former federal immigration agent is warning that policies being set in motion by the Biden administration will open the door for an enormous influx of immigrants that could harm the country in ways that are incomprehensible.
On Fox News this week, Chad Wolf – the former acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security – challenged the lawfulness of President Joe Biden's executive actions on U.S. immigration policy. Wolf argued the policies are unlawful and a threat to border security.
