Obama media is a domestic enemy - Washington Times
Obama media is a domestic enemy - Washington Times:
"In the oath of office given to an officer of the U.S. military, he is required to defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. As the Obama media enables the continuing crimes of the remnants of the Obama administration which are destroying the rule of law in this great country, and are assisting in covering up the treasonous activities of the previous president and his minions, I don’t think there is a better example of what Lincoln called an enemy from within.
We all know journalism is dead, at least in the mainstream press. However, now that the facts are coming out regarding the lengths the Obama administration criminally used the security services of the United States against their political enemies, the nefarious activities of most of the mainstream media have now crossed the line into aiding and abetting.
When combined with the violent left’s attempts to also restrict free speech in America, the double-edged sword is a clear and present danger indeed."

Trump's Leaner White House Payroll Projected To Save Taxpayers $22 Million
Trump's Leaner White House Payroll Projected To Save Taxpayers $22 Million: "If the White House payroll is a leading indicator of the president’s commitment to shrink government then voters have a reason to cheer.
Projected four-year savings on the White House payroll could top $22 million.
Savings come from President Trump’s refusal to take a salary as well as big reductions in other areas including the absence of czars, expensive “fellowships,” and spending on FLOTUS staff...
Here are some key findings:
- There are 110 fewer employees on White House staff under Trump than under Obama at this point in their respective presidencies.
- Nineteen fewer staffers are dedicated to The First Lady of the United States (FLOTUS). Currently, there are five staffers dedicated to Melania Trump vs. 24 staffers who servedMichelle Obama (FY2009)...

A World War II Mystery Is Solved, and Emotions Flood In - The New York Times
A World War II Mystery Is Solved, and Emotions Flood In - The New York Times:
"After the B-24 bomber carrying Second Lt. Thomas V. Kelly Jr. was shot down off the coast of what is now Papua New Guinea in 1944, his parents had a gray tombstone etched with a drawing of the plane and the words “In Loving Memory.”
The 21-year-old bombardier’s remains were never recovered, and for years, his relatives rarely discussed the pain they felt over his death.
“There were Christmas songs that would come on that my mom couldn’t even listen to,” said Diane Christie, Lieutenant Kelly’s niece.
But in 2013, one of Ms. Christie’s second cousins found a website with information about the bomber he had been on.
That led to years of archival research, culminating in a recent search of the ocean floor by a team of oceanographers and archaeologists."...

America's Newest Stealth Destroyer Has The Greatest Namesake To Live Up To - The Drive
America's Newest Stealth Destroyer Has The Greatest Namesake To Live Up To - The Drive
"In January 19th, 2019, the Zumwalt class destroyer USS Michael Monsoor (DDG-1001) will be commissioned into Navy service.
Like most fighting ships, its namesake will be woven into its unique culture.
But DDG-1001's name will be an especially powerful beacon of bravery and selflessness, and above all else, an example of commitment to one's fellow teammates.
By Joseph Trevithick-Posted in THE WAR ZONE
Michael Monsoor's life story is as complex as anyone's, but how he ended up being posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor really wasn't.
Before becoming a Navy SEAL, he was a kid from Long Beach that battled asthma...
As part of SEAL Team Three, he spent a lot of time in Iraq, as so many SEALs did.
During this time there his penchant for bravery became abundantly clear even while operating among other SEAL legends like Chris Kyle.
...But his Medal of Honor came via a far greater sacrifice that occurred months later..."

Did David Hogg's Publix Protest Backfire on the Left?
Did David Hogg's Publix Protest Backfire on the Left?:
"Young Hogg thought he’d made his lefty puppet masters proud with his grandstanding supermarket gesture. In reality, he was doing the right a kindness. Also the unborn, seeing as Planned Parenthood is getting the shaft on multiple fronts now. For these things we thank you, David Hogg. You may be of some use, after all."

Mike Rowe: 'Safe space movement' is harming our culture: 'Let's just wrap ourselves in bubble pack' - Washington Times:
"Mike Rowe of “Dirty Jobs” fame says it’s difficult to award work-ethic scholarships through his mikeroweWORKS Foundation due to America’s “safe space movement.”
The host of Facebook’s “Returning the Favor” told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson on Thursday evening that each year it gets harder for him to essentially give out “free money” to Americans who need jobs training. His organization, which aims to close a professional skills gap, requires participants to write essays and sign a “sweat pledge.”"

What happens when a soldier dies - The Washington Post
What happens when a soldier dies - The Washington Post:
"...We choose to serve.
And when we choose to serve, sometimes chance chooses us.
Every deployed service member leaves behind someone who cares, someone who, when giving one last hug before their warrior ships out, feels their pride clash with the fear that this last hug might be the last hug.
After that, every call from an unknown number, every unexpected knock on the door, reignites the constant worry in the daily lives of those on the home front, making them shudder at the prospect of what might be.
When an American service member is killed overseas, a casualty assistance officer, or CAO, tries to reach the family in the morning, in the relative privacy of their home, rather than making a call to an office or lingering in the neighborhood, waiting for a spouse or parent to come home.
The families might hear the closing thud of car doors — CAOs always travel in pairs — and then see two service members in dress uniforms approaching their door.
Some greet the CAOs on their doorstep, knowing there is only one reason anybody wearing that uniform would be visiting.
Others slam the door in the officers’ faces or even forcefully confront them.
It takes a resolute heart, edged with compassion, to ask:
“Are you — ?”
Some have tears welling in their eyes; some stand with stoic poise; others are in dumbstruck shock; but when they reply “Yes,” the next words deliver the crushing news: “We regret to inform you that . . . ” They hear the name and the word “killed,” but everything else comes as a blur."

FBI's McCabe to DOJ: 'Are You Telling Me That I Need to Shut Down' The Clinton Foundation Case?:
"As deputy FBI director, Andrew McCabe received a phone call on August 12, 2016 -- less than three months before the presidential election -- from the Obama Justice Department, in which he apparently was pressured to shut down the FBI's investigation into the Clinton Foundation (CF), an organization that some critics allege was used as a multi-million dollar pay-for-play operation to buy access to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her husband, former President Bill Clinton."

The incredible ceremony honoring ALL who have served -- even those veterans with no family to mourn for them | Fox News:
"It’s the last Thursday of the month. By 1:30 p.m. on this blue sky April afternoon, the faithful are lining up behind the administration building of the Washington Crossing National Cemetery in Bucks County, Pa.
“Here for the ‘Unattended’?” one man asks another.
“Unattended” is shorthand for an act of grace on the part of the cemetery’s staff, its volunteers, and hundreds of other supporters.
At 2 o’clock on the last Thursday of every month this group stands in as family for vets whose memorial services would otherwise go unattended, ensuring that all due honors are received.
“It’s something that’s got to be done,” one man says."
