These 44 Pictures Of The German Side Show What The Allies Were Up Against On D-Day

War History Online  "In June 1944, the Western-Allies had a tough test to pass. They had to breach the formidable Atlantic Wall, defended by the mighty German army. Even though it was just a mere shadow of its former self – the Russians had seen to that – it was still one of the best-trained armies in the world and the success of the Allied landings was by no means a sure thing.

In this article, we are going to take a closer look at the German side of D-Day. Not many pictures were taken by the Germans on June 6th, so we had to use images from the period before and after the landings. It will give a good idea of the strength of the enemy that the Allies faced in their struggle to retake Normandy and then the rest of Western Europe from Nazi German occupation."

Falsifying the Public Record Because It Offends Islam

The American Spectator

. . . "But what happens when you already know you’re not being told the truth? The psychological impact is that much greater. Your normal inclination to be taken in by conspiracy theorists is all the more heightened when you know you are not being told the truth.

"That is what President Obama and Attorney General Lynch achieved in their clumsy and stupid attempt to redact the transcripts of Islamic terrorist Omar Mateen’s phone calls to 911 as he shot up a gay nightclub in Orlando. Their bungled attempt to manipulate reality now affirms the role of Islam in the shooting. By attempting to change Mateen’s invocation of “Allah” to “God” and redacting entirely his swearing of allegiance to ISIS, the Obama administration has created the opposite of what it intended.

"Any doubts that this shooting was inspired by Islam have now been vitiated. In addition, conspiracy theorists have found in the administration’s inept handling of Mateen’s 911 calls new sustenance for their own cherished conspiracy.

"When the absurdity of the editing by Obama’s “most open administration in American history” hit the news, public outrage forced the administration to relent, especially since the tapes’ contents in the age of social media were no secret.

"At some point, the administration realized the obvious." . . .

Brexit: Britain Votes with Trump, against Hillary, Obama

Big Government

. . . "Republican strategists had panned Trump’s decision to travel to the UK in the midst of campaign turmoil, and in the wake of his blistering attack on Hillary Clinton earlier this week.  

"Now, however, it looks like a risk that paid off handsomely, in the currency of foreign policy credibility" . . .

"Obama’s advice may have pushed some voters to “leave.” In April, he warned British voters they would be at the “back of the queue” in trade with the U.S. if they left the EU. Some, like Andrew Roberts, took offense, writing in the Wall Street Journal:"

Surely—surely—this is an issue on which the British people, and they alone, have the right to decide, without the intervention of President Obama, who adopted his haughtiest professorial manner when lecturing us to stay in the EU, before making the naked threat that we would be sent “to the back of the queue” (i.e., the back of the line) in any future trade deals if we had the temerity to vote to leave.
Was my country at the back of the line when Winston Churchill promised in 1941 that in the event of a Japanese attack on the U.S., a British declaration of war on Japan would be made within the hour?  Emphasis mine, TD

Britain's decision to leave the EU is Hillary Clinton's worst nightmare

With the referendum proving, once again, the utter contempt for mainstream politicians felt by the white, working classes of virtually all Western countries, the prospect of a President Trump has never seemed more likely.

Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House
. . . "In the US it is also linked to a loss of national pride through a sentiment among Trump supporters that President Obama has diminished the reputation of America by going on what they refer to as his "global apology tour." For Brits the loss of national pride comes from a feeling that British sovereignty has been given away to Brussels and if we leave the EU, we will be stronger, better, more respected."

On Brexit as of noon Friday

The rout of the globalists

Obama threatened the Brits: if they voted for Brexit, they would "go to the end of the queue."  What a thug our misguided President is - and an ignorant one at that.  The Brits just gave Obama the back of their hand.

 

Brexit causes massive crash in global markets   "Great Britain's vote to leave the European Union has resulted in more than 2 trillion dollars in stock losses around the world and currencies taking a big hit as well."
. . . While the future is clouded with uncertainty, the British people have spoken. They like the concept of an independent Great Britain with unique culture, traditions, and history. But it won't lessen the pressure from recent immigrants to adapt to their ways and reject the dominant culture. Great Britain will be making compromises with Muslim immigrants until they realize a vote for England to remain England means nothing without fundamental changes in their assimilation policies." 

Worldwide popular revolt confirmed by Brexit vote  . . . "If the issue was only incompetence, there might have been a fix found for the EU. But again, larger cultural forces are at work. The diversity freaks are all atwitter today claiming that the white hetero-patriarchy is pushing back to try and reestablish white male supremacy. I suppose if your worldview is skewed by racialism and extreme political correctness, that would be true." . . .

Trump makes statement from Scotland on Brexit, turns it into advertorial for his golf course, and then goes full statesman

Charles C.W. Cooke: The Brexit Vote Was Just the Beginning  "I have seen it suggested — or, perhaps, hoped — that the powers-that-be will simply “ignore” the vote to leave. This is not going to happen. In a strictly legal sense, Parliament is sovereign and can do as it wishes. In consequence, this referendum was technically not binding. Culturally, though, any indication that the government was trying to defy the voters would trigger a catastrophic constitutional crisis. "

Why Britain Was Right to Leave  . . . "And it hasn’t worked, it couldn’t work. The EU was a good idea in 1945, but it has long outlived its initial purpose of reconciling Germany and France. What stands out is that heads of state and politicians in Europe have been surreptitiously building a much wider political entity. Voters are not asked for their consent. Absence of legitimacy is the EU’s main feature. Since there is no procedure for the democratic right to throw out the [expletive deleted], the EU has developed into something never seen before in the world, an oligarchy with soft totalitarian symptoms. Conflicting national interests and global economic factors lead inexorably to the hardening of these totalitarian symptoms."

Ideologues Make for Dangerous Politicians

Victor Davis Hanson  . . . "No matter: Obamacare fulfills the president’s preconceived notion that state-mandated health care is superior to what the private sector can provide.

Abroad, Obama starts from the premise that an overweening U.S. is not to be congratulated for saving the world in World War II, winning the Cold War, and ushering in globalization. Instead, its inherent unfairness to indigenous peoples, its opposition to revolutionary regimes and its supposed interventionist bullying disqualify it from being a moral and muscular leader of the world.

"As a consequence of all this, facts often must be created to match pre-existing ideology.

"A homophobic, radical Islamic terrorist in Orlando shouted “Allahu Akbar” as he mowed down the innocent in a gay nightclub. He called 9-1-1 to make sure the world knew that his killing spree was in service to the Islamic State. And in the midst of his murdering, he even called a local TV news station to brag on his jihadist martyrdom in progress. No matter. To Obama, who asserts that radical Islamic terrorism, which he refuses to identify in such terms, poses little threat (far less of a threat, he has said, than the dangers posed by accidental falls in bathtubs), the Orlando shooting was instead a symptom of a lack of gun control or endemic homophobia — anything other than what the killer himself said it was." . . .
