Why Juanita Broaddrick Didn’t Make Time’s Silence Breakers Cover

Moonbattery  "Juanita Broaddrick — who started making her credible rape allegation against the King of Sexual Misconduct Bill Clinton years ago — offers a theory as to why she was nowhere to be seen on the cover of Time when it proclaimed the “Silence Breakers” to be the Person of the Year:

Time magazine asked to interview me re:  movement. The comments I gave were deemed of no value. I'd like to know why. Could it be I didn't fit in their liberal victim mold. @TIME

"The liberal establishment long ignored Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, et al. No doubt it would prefer them to pipe down while it exploits the sexual misconduct allegation craze to pursue the political objectives to which the expendable John Conyers and Al Franken have been sacrificed."

. . . " 'It’s only taken 20 years, but the tide seems to finally be turning against Clinton,” the conservative news website Resurgent said Wednesday.
No sooner had the Moore scandal erupted last week than multiple liberal media figures declared it was time to hold Mr. Clinton accountable, a dramatic about-face that prompted kudos from the right as well as skepticism over the political calculus.
“ '[T]hat belatedness has become the subject of ridicule and scorn among some conservatives, who note that Bill Clinton was only finally sent under the bus after he became politically expendable,” said Townhall.com editor Guy Benson.". . . 
CNN Reporter: Before The Dam Broke On Franken, The Silence From Democrats Was 'Remarkable'  . . . "Yeah, what’s also remarkable is that the party of women took almost a month to decided what to do, only getting more aggressive as it looks apparent that Moore is going to win the Alabama special election on Tuesday. What better opportunity to turn the page and redirect the attacks against the GOP." . . .

Yet more ammo for the ‘fake news’ critics

"Here they go again — the news media, that is, racing to run stories meant to discredit President Trump’s 2016 election victory, only to wind up with egg on their faces.
"Friday, it was CNN’s turn to be caught spreading a false yarn — this one trying to link Team Trump with WikiLeaks and its supposed efforts, along with the Russians, to throw last year’s election to Trump.
"On Sept. 4, 2016, CNN said, Donald Trump Jr. got an e-mail tipping him off to WikiLeaks material that wasn’t yet public. That sure sounds like an effort to collude.
"Trouble is, the e-mail was actually dated Sept. 14 — a full 10 days later and after WikiLeaks had made the documents public. So the message might have been harmlessly intended to flag already-public info for Team Trump. CNN was forced to post a correction.
"This wasn’t the first such mistake by a press obsessed with trying to prove Trump’s election was tainted. Just last week, ABC’s Brian Ross reported that former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn revealed that he’d been ordered to contact Russian officials during the campaign." . . .

Let's celebrate!



Oops! Um, hold that thought.

Ancient Jerusalem in the 21st Century

Al-Qaida declares holy war against the U.S. over Trump’s Jerusalem decision  "Street protests were expected Friday across the Arab world Hundreds of Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia protested outside U.S. Embassies"

So what's different from before? When the World Trade Center was destroyed, Jerusalem was not officially called Israel's capital. 

Watch for an alliance between militant Islam and North Korea. TD




File this under "Don't speak too soon": Palestinian agitators embarrass selves with puny turnout for ‘day of rage’ over Jerusalem embassy move  
 . . . "President Trump knows hardball negotiations, and feels no guilt at all at pressing for the interests of the United States and its allies. Now that the world is seeing the brand-new American postyre, we can expect the behavior of our foes to change. I am not yet “tired of winning” and I expect more gains to be made in the Middle East over the next three years than have been made in the last three decades. No less than Osama bin Laden noted that when people see a “strong horse” they naturally are attracted."

America spent the past eight -plus years being the weak horse, enduring taunts and mockery from Russian planes and Iranian combat boats buzzing US warships in defiance of Obama and "his" military. But I digress...




'Jerusalem, Israel' has a nice embassy-sounding ring to it   "The recent announced decision by President Trump formally designating Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel has generated a storm of protest, mainly from left-leaning American groups and newspapers, as well as predominantly Muslim countries.  Setting aside for a moment whatever one might think of the president in general, his action in this particular case deserves some thoughtful consideration." . . .
"Israel has shown itself to be a positive contributor to world sustenance and health.  Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish State, has been since 1948, and will remain so for the foreseeable future.  It deserves recognition as such by the world's community of nations."

Haley: Israel will never be bullied into an agreement . . . "Haley added the UN has done "much more to damage the prospects for Middle East peace than to advance them."
" 'We will not be a party to that. The United States no longer stands by when Israel is unfairly attacked in the United Nations. And the United States will not be lectured to by countries that lack any credibility when it comes to treating both Israelis and Palestinians fairly,” she stressed.

"Haley further noted that Trump and his administration remain committed to the two-state solution, as long as that’s what the sides agree on. The Jerusalem decision doesn't change this, she stressed." . . .

William Safire called Hillary "a congenital liar"; that was even before these comments:

Pentagon plans to identify hundreds killed in Pearl Harbor

The life and death of the USS Oklahoma
Story continues below picture and caption.

Picture and accompanying story from The National Post
Continuing from top:
. . . "The USS Oklahoma capsized at 8:08 A.M., approximately 12 minutes after the first torpedo hit. Hundreds of men were trapped below her decks. They found themselves in a bizarre world turned upside down, in pitch-black darkness, as compartments filled with water. Death came to 429 officers, sailors and Marines, marking the second greatest loss of life at Pearl Harbor." . . .

. . . "Of the 14 men trapped in D-57, three made a daring escape. They swam nearly 20 feet down the trunk space, 35 feet out of the hatch and across the upside down deck, and finally ascended almost 30 feet to the water's surface. Ordinary men with extraordinary courage swam approximately 90 feet to freedom. 
"The hours passed by slowly for those trapped below decks. Using hammers and wrenches, they pounded on bulkheads to draw attention to would-be rescuers. For those in compartment D-57, time was running out as the air grew foul and the water steadily rose." . . .




Fox News  "Tom Gray's family has waited for more than 70 years to bring home the remains of his cousin who was killed in the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941.


May 24, 1943: File photo, the deck of the capsized battleship USS Oklahoma breaks water at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu.

"On Tuesday, they got a step closer when the military announced it would exhume and attempt to identify the remains of almost 400 sailors and Marines from the USS Oklahoma who were buried as unknowns after the war.
"Gray's cousin, Edwin Hopkins, of Swanzey, New Hampshire, was a 19-year-old fireman third class on board the USS Oklahoma when the battleship was hit by nine torpedoes and capsized on Dec. 7, 1941. His remains weren't identified and his family was told he was missing.
"Gray said Hopkins' mother never accepted that. She believed he had amnesia and he would show up one day, Gray said.
"Hopkins' parents, Frank and Alice Hopkins, put his name on their headstone in Keene, New Hampshire, thinking he would join them one day, Gray said.
"They did so, "just waiting for him to come home," Gray said.
"All together, 429 sailors and Marines on board the Oklahoma were killed. Only 35 were identified in the years immediately after." . . .
It is now possible to reconstruct the images of those long dead.

Forensic anthropologist says he can identify unknown dead on USS Oklahoma   . . . "Emory scoured through Army and Navy records, finding whatever information he could about the burials. 
"The results were startling.
"In 1950, 61 caskets carrying the remains of about 400 unknowns from the USS Oklahoma were buried in the Punchbowl.
"He dug further and discovered a deceased personnel file listing the names of 27 servicemen from the ship whose remains were believed to be identified in 1949. An anthropologist didn't approve the identifications, however, and the remains were buried with the rest.
"For more than a decade, Emory tried convincing officials to exhume these remains so they could be re-identified and returned to their families. He won a small victory after officials finally relented and added the ship names to the grave markers." . . .
