IS there a real story in that last little part? I was in the Bahamas when the news came down. Drinks all around. Same with Franco in 1975. Bar parties over numerous days as the press was trying to figure out if he was really dead. Thanks to SNL we got a VERY long celebratory period and we knew how to celebrate. Pitchers were very cheap in those days. |

Neither the President nor Congress can force the States to do anything they do not want to do. |

Rise, like lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number!
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you:
Ye are many—they are few!

The Democrats have a completely different view of the USA So Hillary was always saying how she 'won the popular vote' as if that means anything in a constitutional republic of states. You will hear Democrats repeatedly saying how things are a 'challenge to our democracy' - they should be corrected every time that they say that - the USA is NOT a democracy it is a constitutional republic of states. The States have 'rights' in the 10th Amendment that limits the Federal government ( legislative, executive, and judicial ) to the powers that are enumerated in the Constitution of the United States. (If this works....)  The Tenth amendment (shown above) makes it ILLEGAL for the Federal Government to usurp the powers of the States or the people that are any that are not in the enumerated list of Federal government powers. |

That's a weak point she makes though. Trump spent his resources to win the game as the rules were written at that time. He could have easily spent more money in California and other high population states if the election were based on the popular vote. Hillary's narrow victory would not have survived. I remember Hillary and her surrogates boasting many times that they "had the electoral states tied up", and that Trump had "no path to victory" even if he did win the popular vote. |

At the 150th reenactment of Appomattox in 2015, I saw a new teeshiirt. Logo read ... APPOMATTOX WAS HALFTIME.Wanted one but couldn't find one for sale. I was with the 22nd North Carolina Infantry Regiment. Had numerous collateral ancestors in that unit. Those that survived or were not discharged as disabled, surrendered there with the Army of Northern Virginia. At the request of their commander, they surrendered and went home to be good citizens with what was left. But likely rebels to their dying day. The "Sons" have battle flags flying on 75-100 ft poles on private land overlooking major highways in Alabama and now in Missouri. There are others. Like the originals, ther are many again who are not prepared to surrender.  |

Incredible what the Syrian rebels were able to do with their anti-tank guns mounted on Toyota pickups (a UN grant). Very lethal against T-72's.

This is what they think of the American public. Watch this full screen particularly as our fearful leader reaches the "microphones" youtu.be/g0139UytcR8I think the whole thing is a Green Screen Production and not well done. |
