The way we were-----1958 Mars Bluff Nuclear Bomb Incident

In 2003 Walter Gregg, then 82, said "Not too many people can say they've had a nuclear bomb dropped on them. Not too many would want to."

The 1958 Mars Bluff nuclear weapon incident deserves to be remembered.

"Coal, fossil fuels... saved the forests and the whales, not to mention mankind in general."

Facebook-Gilles Bourgeois

"Coal, fossil fuels, and the semblance of Laissez-Faire Capitalism that existed from 1865 to 1920 +/-, saved the forests and the whales, not to mention mankind in general.

Fossil fuels. The 100% natural organic compound, produced by Mother Earth herself, that is the most energy dense, ecologically symbiotic, safe, life serving, and economic solar energy storage solution in existence."

President Trump Takes a Hit for the Team - American Thinker

“The Republican nominee for president will be that candidate who best learns that there is no future in apologizing,” I wrote in a June 10, 2015, column.

...His refusal to back down or apologize came at a huge personal cost, but the rest of us, including his enemies, benefited from his un-Republican-like willingness to punch back when punched.

The benefits came in two primary forms:

what Trump accomplished as president and
what he exposed.

...No matter how visceral their loathing of Trump, even our leftist friends benefitted from four years of peace and prosperity.

So vibrant was the economy in early 2020 that it pushed us through the globalist fear pandemic in relatively good order. Enjoy the fruits of that economy while you can. They won’t last.
As to peace, Trump launched no new wars, nor did he expand any old ones. No president since Jimmy Carter can make this claim, and Carter accomplished his peace through submission. Trump accomplished his through strength: a military rebuilt, North Korea subdued, Russia restrained, China looking over its shoulder, Israel making new friends throughout the region.
Of universal benefit, too, were the trade deals that Trump pulled off. In 2016, these deals were on the agenda of no other candidate from either party. In 2019, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which replaced the disastrous NAFTA, passed a Democrat-controlled House 385-41. In his eight years, Barack Obama had no bipartisan accomplishment of this magnitude, nothing close...Read all!

Facebook Has 'No Plans' to Lift Ban on Donald Trump

Facebook Has 'No Plans' to Lift Ban on Donald Trump:

“So why did we do it? We have clearly established principles that say you cannot call for violence,” said Sandberg of Trump’s ban. “In this moment, we took down those posts that we thought may be calling for violence or were calling for violence, immediately.”

Media scrubbed this from memory.

Sanders employee: 'send all the Republicans to the re-education camps'

"James O’Keefe of Project Veritas is working hard to blow the lid on well-hidden information, just like the Bernie Sanders staffers that have been caught revealing their true agenda.

Last week, Project Veritas showed Kyle Jurek, a Sanders staffer from Iowa, saying that labor camps were beneficial for the Soviet Union and further suggesting that they could be used to re-educate both Trump supporters and billionaires.

This week, another staffer of Sanders’ from South Carolina, identified as Martin Weissgerber, was captured on hidden camera footage as well.

Weissgerber said, “I’m already on Twitter, following numerous groups around the country that are ready to organize yellow-vest protests. I mean, I’m ready. I’m ready to start tearing bricks up and start fighting. I’m no cap bro, I’ll straight up get armed. I want to learn how to shoot and go train. I’m ready for the revolution, bro.”

“I’m telling you. Guillotine the rich.” ...

This clown will never be confused with a rocket scientist.

Bernie Sanders employee: When we win, we'll 'send all the Republicans to the re-education camps' — “I’m ready for the revolution”

In the video, Weissgerber wonders aloud about whether or not Sanders should take over the legislative and judicial branches’ decision-making abilities on the issue of climate change.

“Do we just cease—do we just dissolve the Senate, House of Representatives, the judicial branch, and have someone like Bernie Sanders and a cabinet of people make all the decision on climate? I mean, I’m serious,” he says...Read all!

An evil message!

BATTLESWARM BLOG: Democrats’ Tower Of Self-Reinforcing Bullshit.

“The biggest gap in this country isn’t between enlightened social justice warriors and the backward racist redneck freaks of JesusLand, it’s between

those who want to continue sticking their snouts into troughs of taxpayer money, feel their own grifts are sacred birthrights above reproach and have different laws apply to them than the peasants,
and those who have been made aware of the scam.”

"Virtue signaling is not the practice of virtue..."

Facebook: Gilles Bourgeois

"Virtue signaling is not the practice of virtue.

Its actually a vice that conceals personal insecurity, mendacity, and a hatred of truth if not a hatred for all of humanity.

Where are the #climatechange protesters on #oil consumption strikes? Please do not use oil until your grievances are addressed.
We will know your #virtue by your hunger, your nakedness, your homelessness, your stench, your untreated wounds, and your absence from social media."

One-third of all restaurants here may be toast, but government keeps growing!
