Memorial Day in New Hampshire :: SteynOnline

Memorial Day in New Hampshire :: SteynOnline:
"Most of my book The [Un]documented Mark Steyn is written by yours truly, but for six lines on page 243 I roped in the real talent in the family:

'Time passes, and moss and lichen creep across ancient grave stones. 

But the men beneath them are forever young.

At Memorial Day observances in my neck of the woods, the veterans are honored by the fifth graders, who read verses for the occasion - both the classics and their own poems. 

The latter can be a bit hit and miss, and one has to be alert, given the dispositions of some of my neighbors, for give-peace-a-chance war-is-never-the-answer not-so-subtle subtexts. 

But a couple of years ago my then fifth-grade daughter was asked to write something, and so she did. 

Nothing to do with me - I was away in Chicago all that week - but I was pleased to see that all the rhymes are true. 

She is older now and has gotten a little teenagey, as they do, and today she would try to write it more sophisticatedly. 

But I have always liked its heartfelt directness. 

So this is my daughter's fifth-grade poem, as a ten-year-old girl delivered it on a small town common for Memorial Day:

The stars and stripes, red, white, and blue
Wave above our heroes true
It makes us cry, it makes us weep
But in our hearts we will keep
The sacrifice our soldiers gave, they shall not die in vain
For they have given us the freedom they have fought to gain'

‘TRUMP BROKE CNN’: Layoffs Continue To Rock Far-Left Network, Former Employees Trash Company | Daily Wire:

"Specific details were not yet known, but a source told Fox News that 'basically the whole division' will lose their jobs," Fox New's Brian Flood reported. "CNN did not respond to multiple requests for comment."
Flood noted that TVNewser, a media reporting website founded by CNN propagandist Brian Stelter, magically got confirmation on Friday — right before the weekend when the news cycle usually dies — that CNN was, in fact, laying off a lot of its employees.

Did (DEMOCRAT) prosecutor allegedly use county money for elaborate home security? | Politically Speaking

Did prosecutor allegedly use county money for elaborate home security? | Politically Speaking
"When Michigan State Police investigators removed and confiscated security camera equipment from Macomb County Prosecutor Eric Smith’s home during a raid on Tuesday, political observers and news reporters wondered how that fit in with the widening criminal investigation of the county’s top lawman.
The answer lies right there in the pages and pages of documents outlining how the prosecutor spent some of the $1.8 million in “off the books” forfeiture funds that he has controlled over the past several years.
Smith paid approximately $161,000 in county money, handed out under quite peculiar circumstances, to a Mount Clemens security company.
...The obvious question: Who spends huge amounts of money like this, in such a random pattern, over such a long time, for office security cameras and electronic door locks?

Mollie Ziegler Hemingway---3 Times Media Claimed Russiagate Transparency Would End America

3 Times Media Claimed Russiagate Transparency Would End America:
"As the media carry water for sources who selectively released information to perpetuate a false conspiracy theory, it is worth remembering other recent times they claimed that transparency would have devastating results.
...For several years, government officials from the Obama administration had alleged in anonymous leaks to friendly reporters that Trump was a traitor who had colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton.
...Media who are implicated in perpetuating the false allegation that Trump was a traitor reacted poorly to the news that Barr was given authority to bring some transparency to the Russia collusion narrative that had been effective precisely because it was shrouded in secrecy.
As bizarre as it is for journalists to fight transparency — MSNBC’s Trump-bruised Joe Scarborough said declassifying documents is what an “autocrat” does — it matches the talking points of those inside the agencies who worry about their activities being exposed.
...As the media carry water for their leaking sources who selectively released information to perpetuate a false conspiracy theory of Russia collusion, it is worth remembering other recent times they claimed that transparency would have devastating results..."

Crenshaw: Why we can’t fix the border crisis – The Daily Sheeple

Crenshaw: Why we can’t fix the border crisis – The Daily Sheeple
"In a series of tweets this morning Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R) Texas, laid out why he thinks the border crisis cannot be fixed.
As he is from the state of Texas he is well aware of the impact that illegal immigration has on this country as well as the state he represents.
Want to understand why we can’t fix the border crisis? 
Let’s break down the Congressional Dems’ strategy:
Step 1: Ridicule regular Americans’ concerns with border security, & conflate illegal immigration with legal immigration.
Step 2: Propose DACA amnesty without addressing illegal immigration (knowing GOP can’t support a proposal that doesn’t address the root cause of the problem).
Step 3: Refuse compromise with GOP on border security, asylum law reform, and DACA fix.
Step 4: Ignore POTUS’s request for $4 billion in humanitarian aid at the border while simultaneously demanding “action” to fix the humanitarian crisis.
Step 5: Keep the issue alive and paint GOP as anti-immigrant.
The truth is that this cycle hurts legal immigrants, legal asylum seekers, and regular Americans who believe we should have a say in our sovereignty. 
It has to stop..."

Whether it be chemistry, physics, geology or engineering, many of the world’s primary professional societies have changed from being paragons of technical virtue to opportunistic groups focused on maximizing their members' financial gains in support of the climate scare, the world’s greatest science fraud..."

Supremes Block Rulings Ordering GOP To Redraw District Lines In Two Key Swing States | The Daily Caller:

The Supreme Court temporarily blocked two decisions Friday requiring Republican-controlled legislatures in Michigan and Ohio to produce new legislative district lines ahead of the 2020 election.
There were no noted dissents from the Friday orders. The decision was not surprising, as the justices are currently deciding whether federal courts should even hear partisan gerrymandering disputes.

Why Liberals Hate Chick-fil-A | Power Line
"We ate lunch at a Chick-fil-A today. 
When we entered the restaurant, the first thing we saw was an empty table that was set up to honor fallen military personnel over the Memorial Day weekend. 
There was a red rose, a folded flag, an inverted glass and an open Bible, along with text explaining the elements of the display.

Chick-fil-A is unabashedly pro-American. 

I suspect that is the real reason for the animus that so many liberals bear against the company.

A federal judge expressed deep skepticism over a lawsuit by House Democrats that seeks to cut funding for President Donald Trump’s border wall.

“While Washington pols and pundits angrily debate who and what counts as a spy, and whether any such exotic creatures have ever been employed by the FBI, new evidence is emerging that the FBI not only uses spies, but has done so extensively, including in the Trump-Russia investigation.”

Note well: none of the leveraged targets of Robert Mueller turned state’s evidence to accuse Donald Trump of “collusion,” the object of the special counsel’s investigation, although to have done so would have mightily helped their cause and given them John Dean iconic status among leftists. In contrast, we have scarcely begun to investigate wrongdoing at the intelligence and justice departments and already the suspects are fingering each other.
James Clapper, John Brennan, and James Comey are now all accusing one another...as if suddenly and mysteriously the prior seeding of the Steele dossier is now seen as a bad thing...
