The Somme then and now.. Amazing use of technology

YouTube  "This is my final film of the Battle of the Somme. My other two films, the Somme then and now parts 1 and 2 were just really test runs for this final film, filmed in full HD with many more locations. The name changes were due to Google messing up my accounts,, the other two films would have been removed ...this is my tribute.....The first three pieces of Music are by Ralph Vaughn Williams then Holts and finally Elgar please leave feed back and thank you for watching....We will remember them." . . .

Black victimhood: The club no one can join

Daniel G. Jones  In 2015, a woman was fired from several positions because of her race. Liberals, whom you’d normally expect to be up in arms over this sort of injustice, were silent. The media gave the story wide coverage and, as is their habit in cases of racial discrimination, voiced a uniform opinion. Their opinion in this case was unusual: the woman deserved to be fired because she was the wrong race.


That woman was Rachel Dolezal, who lost her presidency of the Spokane branch of the NAACP, her chairpersonship of Spokane’s Police Ombudsman Commission, her teaching position at Eastern Washington University (she taught in the Africana Education program), and her freelance status as a contributor to Spokane’s The Inlander, when it was discovered that she was white. (She’d been outed by her white parents with whom she was estranged.)
. . .
"Rachel Dolezal was guilty of victimhood appropriation. She had attempted to join the club of black privilege but -- like the lowly-born upstart who tried to gain membership into the English gentleman’s club of old -- she failed because she lacked the proper breeding. Recent reports describe her as unemployed, living on food stamps, and nearly homeless. As an English baron might have remarked, “Serves her right for putting on airs.' ”
"Victimhood appropriation"?

Trump Effect? Poll Shows CNN Brand Plummeting

Daily Caller  "CNN’s brand has continued to struggle.
"CNN, which President Trump has referred to as the “Clinton News Network,” now trails both MSNBC and Fox News in brand perception, according to findings from YouGov. Both MSNBC and CNN have fallen far behind Fox News in recent months." . . .

“ 'CNN’s negative acceleration point happened in mid-October 2016, around the time Anderson Cooper interviewed Melania Trump, notably discussing her husband’s famous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape,” YouGov’s Ted Marzilli notes.

“ 'Also at that time, a local North Carolina Republican office was firebombed, causing conservative-leaning media to pounce on CNN for suggesting Trump’s rhetoric spurred the incident.”

"He concludes: “The big picture — going back to early 2016 — shows the possible toll particular news events, and being the recipient of incessant Trump bashing, may have taken on CNN.' ”   Read more

How's this for CNN bias?  CNN Reporter Asks Obama: Are GOP Candidates "Uninformed, Out Of Touch, Or Irresponsible?"  Video
" 'Last night at the Republican debate, some of the hopefuls, they hope to get your job, they defended the practice of waterboarding which is a practice you banned in 2009. Herman Cain said, quote, 'I don't see that as torture.' Michele Bachmann said that it's, quote, 'very effective.' So I'm wondering if you think that they're uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?" CNN's White House correspondent Dan Lothian asked President Obama in Hawaii." . . . Dan Lothian, journalism at it's finest.

Naturally Lothian gets the old "that's not who we are" response.

Some unhappy faces over the Trump speech Tuesday

From Tuesday: Maxine Waters will boycott Trump’s speech as Nancy Pelosi vows Democrats won’t be ‘out-classed’  . . . "Waters was one of nearly 70 elected Democrats who chose to boycott Trump’s inauguration. Some Democrats claimed they had other things to do that day, but most, including Waters, said their refusal to attend was about resistance to Trump. Waters began talking about President Trump’s impeachment even before he was inaugurated and hasn’t stopped since." . . .
"The Hill reports that Waters’ office confirmed she would not attend the speech but denied she was encouraging others not to do so. So far, she appears to be the only Democrat planning to boycott though Rep. John Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, “I don’t know what I’m going to do right at this moment.” Rep. Eliot Engel announced today that he will attend the speech but, for the first time in 29 years, he will not stand near the aisle to shake the President’s hand as he enters the chamber:" . . .

Here’s 7 Things Democrats Didn’t Stand For During Trump’s Address To Congress [VIDEO]

"Democrats refused to stand and applaud multiple times during President Donald Trump’s hour-long Tuesday night address to Congress.

"A few things Trump spoke to Congress about included creating jobs for the country’s citizens, immigration reform, bolstering the military, lowering drug prices and returning power to the states.

"Democrats, in response, refused to react when Trump mentioned America and putting Americans back to work." . . .

Dedicated enemies of Mr. Trump: Democrats, and the news/ entertainment media. But I repeat myself.

Trump supporters around the country are under violent attack from black people, all the while MSNBC and others are trying to convince us the opposite is true  . . . "The latest comes from Kettering, Ohio, in the suburbs of Dayton. Over the weekend, a white kid walked out of sports bar where a dozen black people started taunting and harassing and threatening him about Donald Trump." . . .

The Art of Making the Right Enemies . . . Who are his enemies? 1) The media, who purvey “fake news”: A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 53 percent of Americans think the media are “exaggerating the problems with the Trump administration because they are uncomfortable and threatened with the kind of change that Trump represents.” 2) China, which Trump says is stealing our jobs: 52 percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of China. 3) Globalists, a conspiratorial group he accuses of rigging the economy against workers: Polls show that most Americans agree with Trump’s economic plans. 4) The “establishment,” some shadowy cabal of insiders opposed to his administration: Polls show that 86 percent of Americans think “a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” 5) Radical Islamic terrorists, who aren’t particularly popular in the United States. 6) Illegal immigrants, who share a similarly low approval rating. 7) And, of course, Democrats, who currently enjoy a -16 percent approval rating overall, as opposed to Trump’s -4 percent.

The left is happy to find outrage wherever they can imagine it

And they went way, way out to find this.

Five Minute Ovation for Trump but Pouty Democrats Sit on Their Butts (VIDEO)

AWFUL: Top Democrats Refuse To Stand, Clap For Navy SEAL Widow Honored By Trump  . . . "And House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) apparently sat there and didn’t cheer as the incredible moment progressed, along with Senator Bernie Sanders and others – see this video at approximately three minutes in, as the cameras pan the crowd. Look at the right hand side of this screenshot:" . . .

"That guy who worked for Hillary, Dan Grilo is getting hammered at twitter for calling the SEAL's crying widow an idiot:"

Van Jones...Van Jones of all people : "Trump 'became president' when he honored SEAL widow  . . . " 'And for people who had been hoping he would become unifying, hoping that he might find someway to become presidential, they should be happy with that moment," Jones said.
" 'For people who have been hoping that maybe he would remain a divisive cartoon, which he often finds a way to do, they should be a little bit worried tonight. Because that thing you just saw him do, if he finds a way to do that over and over again, he's going to be there for eight years.' "  Rick Moran

Chris Wallace: Donald Trump became the President of the United States tonight!

“I want to say this right, but I feel like tonight Donald Trump became the President of the United States. Yes of course he got it 35, 38, 40 days ago when he was sworn in. But so many Democrats didn’t recognize him.

I think tonight whether they agree with him or didn’t agree with him, he became the President of the United States and everyone is going to have to accept that fact.”
