He saluted the Marine, who died a private first class that day, and then slowly bent down and placed a purple lei upon his headstone.

Nobody on our side likes that $1.3 trillion crap budget… not me, not you, and not President Trump, but contrary to some of the hysterics— Trump has betrayed no one. But I do believe he was uncharacteristically ‘caught off guard’ and this was definitely a score for the Deep State.…

…This has been a strange day. Hopefully, the chorus of woe will subside in the following days.

No one said this will be an easy task righting our ship, this is a setback in a long string of wins, and must be seen as simply that. We CANNOT lose faith, we HAVE to keep up this battle--stakes are much too high not to.

The man has the country's back--we must have his.

It is MY country and while I have breath I will defend it in whatever way necessary. Giving up is not an option.

Amid all the furor, remember this--We are Americans, so you hold that head HIGH and PROUD--we've faced comparable threats before and prevailed.

So will we prevail through this one. Because of who we are.

Goodnite, good people. Stay safe and warm.

…On this day in 1989 the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound in Alaska spilling 240,000 barrels of crude oil. It became one of the biggest media hype events of all time.

…The Democrats are in the midst of internecine strife (one faction wants to win in 2018 by pretending to be Trump while the other wants to be full frontal Marxist) that if played properly by the GOP could devastate them even more than the historic losses of the past several cycles. Unfortunately, that same GOP is still hell bent on maintaining its position as the legacy-keepers of FDR's New Deal - and worse.…

…On this day in 1920 the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles for the second time (the first time was on November 19, 1919). It came close to passing on one vote but could not get the 2/3 majority needed for ratification. The biggest stumbling block was an article that allowed the league of nations to go to war without a vote by the US congress. In addition to that there was a lot of resistance to getting involved with the European problems. We have all the same problems with the UN but FDR/Truman was able to power that through easily because he was virtually a dictator.

…Another week has begun and the aftermath of the firing of Andrew McCabe has made the Dem-Left-Media complex go completely off the rails. What's truly frightening now are national figures who are threatening the President, some very thinly veiled and some outright.…

…Self-driving cars are essentially a train with expanded range, each vehicle being its own railcar. In the planners' minds their flow-optimized system works neatly and safely at speeds and densities not achievable by human reflexes and with a minimal loss of autonomy. They refuse to acknowledge Murphy's Law though, which when dealing with the speed and densities expected means guaranteed disaster.

No man is moral in his own right. We are made of crooked timber. The system the founders sought was not one intended to elect the right people to do whatever they thought best, but rather one to prevent and restrain any man from doing what his nature would naturally bid him to do. The Constitution isn't a writ of authority, it is a restraining order. And we have watched the elites for generations trying to shed the shackles that the Constitution had rightly placed upon them. And the overbearing government we now possess is precisely the result we should expect now that they have largely shed those constraints and are acting exactly as the founders feared.

Trivia - the bit of coastal land in between Holland and Denmark is known as Frisia, and the Frisian language still survives, although those who still can speak it dwindle every year. I heard a recording of some of it once, and something about it fascinated me - to the ear, it sounded almost exactly like English, except that it used a different vocabulary. (I suppose that means phrasing and vowel sounds are the same) It was like hearing people speak English in another room where you couldn't quite make it out.

…In the intervening 10 years, as things have gotten worse for boys and men, the rhetoric about “white male privilege” has become more strident. There are mandatory classes on diversity. Workshops on “toxic masculinity” tell men they aren’t OK. Men are even attacked forthe way they sit on a chair or a subway seat. …

…The dirty big secret here is that our public schools don't announce social engineering; they simply do it, especially with regard to altering how children view themselves. Public schools suppress boys and uplift girls in many furtive ways.…

…This nation desperately needs an attorney general who understands the level of corruption within the DoJ and do what it takes to work around it while simultaneously rooting it out. And on top of that, he or she can start going after everyone within the Deep State who attempted and are still attempting to suborn an election and overthrow the President, and the high crimes and misdemeanors of the eight year "Reign of Error" that was Barack Obama. …

The Japanese surprise air attack of Dec. 7, 1941, on Hawaii was a staggering military triumph that decimated the Pacific Fleet’s battleships in Pearl Harbor and wiped out most of Oahu’s air defenses.

…On this day in 1820 the Missouri Compromise was signed into law by President James Monroe. The compromise allowed Missouri to enter the Union as a slave state, brought Maine into the Union as a free state, and made the rest of the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase territory slavery-free. This was hailed as a great compromise but it only delayed the inevitable for a few more years. It did not satisfy the firebrands on either side.

…On this day in 1794 the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was passed by the U.S. Congress. You don't hear too much about this in these days. What the 11th says is The Judicial power of the United States shall not be construed to extend to any suit in law or equity, commenced or prosecuted against one of the United States by Citizens of another State, or by Citizens or Subjects of any Foreign State. However during the liberal court days the court ruled that the States did not have sovereign immunity when being sued by the federal government.

…In 1933, in this very country, a teenager with enough money could literally mail-order a fully-automatic Thompson submachine gun to their very door. This is the very firearm that was used by United States troops during World War II, gangsters and police during the Prohibition, and, yes, average American citizens who wanted them.

No background check.…

…On this day in 1931 the United States adopted The Star-Spangled Banner as its national anthem.

Let’s look at what Trump said, in context… It seems to me that Trump is actually talking about something like the red flag legislation he has advocated in the past, statutes that allow for preventive and temporary removal of firearms from persons deemed dangerous who have not yet committed any crimes, with a court hearing coming later.…
