Wars and Rumors

Hitler

…Upon becoming Chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler had appointed Göring as Minister of the Interior for the State of Prussia, Germany's biggest and most important state, which controlled two thirds of the country, including the capital, Berlin, and the big industrial centers. As Minister of the Interior, Göring thereby had control of the police.

The first thing he did was to prohibit regular uniformed police from interfering with Nazi Brownshirts out in the streets. This meant that innocent German citizens had no one to turn to as they were being beaten up by rowdy young storm troopers drunk with their newfound power and quite often drunk on beer.

9/11 - still with us

World Trade Center

A docudrama about the efforts of the passengers aboard United Airlines Flight 93 to derail the 9/11 terrorists' plan for the hijacked airliner.

I haven't seen the theatrical "Flight 93" film, but this is excellent, mixing dramatizations with historical footage, interviews, and commentary. 1:31:54

Breitbart is Here

US Flag

Good morning, kids. Friday and 19 years ago today nothing would ever be the same again. Many things became crystal clear that day and among them the fact that the Democrat Party was no longer the loyal opposition but the opposition. Today, it is starkly evident that they've gone even beyond being the opposition. In point of fact, they are the enemy. The smoking wreckage of the Twin Towers juxtaposed side by side with that of Minneapolis, Kenosha, Portland, Seattle and a dozen or so other urban areas are physically quite similar.…

Trump, smiling

…“If Biden’s elected, China will own America. Washington vultures like Biden and others ripped apart entire towns all across your state,” Trump told a crowd of supporters at an overflowing airport hangar in Freeland, Michigan.…

Trump also hit Michigan’s Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for coronavirus lockdowns that sparked armed protests, saying, “Open up your state, Madam Governor, open up your state.”

“Just like crazy Nancy Pelosi, your governor is a liberal hypocrite who lives by a different set of rules….”
