Bill Kristol might regret his Twitter poll pitting Mitt Romney against Donald Trump

Twitchy  "As you’ve heard, President Donald Trump fired back after Sen. Mitt Romney posted a couple of critical tweets suggesting that there could be no other motivation for Trump to ask for assistance looking into the Bidens and Ukraine and China than political, calling it “wrong and appalling.”

“ 'If Mitt worked this hard on Obama, he could have won,” Trump replied Saturday.

"There’s a lot of chatter on Twitter about who’s right — Romney or Trump — but Never Trumper Bill Kristol decided to start a poll asking who was more respected: Trump or Romney. Kristol called Twitter a hellscape, meaning we’re pretty sure he knew which way his poll would go, and after just six hours and more than 133,662 votes, Trump is way out ahead." . . .

Trolling the left: Climate ‘activist’ at AOC event: ‘We have to eat the babies’.

One of Ocasio-Cortez's constituents loses her mind over climate change during AOC's townhall, claims we only have a few months left: "We got to start eating babies! We don't have enough time! ... We have to get rid of the babies! ... We need to eat the babies!"

Climate ‘activist’ at AOC event: ‘We have to eat the babies’

It’s unclear at this point whether she was trolling (she has to be trolling, right?) the Congresswoman and climate change or if she is just so far gone to the radical progressive indoctrination surrounding climate change that she inadvertently made a mockery of the event. Either way, it’s interesting to watch.

 "A woman at Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s town hall today took climate extremism to the next level. After saying the Green New Deal is great but it doesn’t work fast enough, she declared her own plan: eating children.

"Donning a t-shirt that read, “Save the Planet, Eat the Children,” the unhinged rant she delivered declared that bombing Russia would not be enough because there would still be too many people. She referred to a Swedish scientist who declared earlier this year that we need to start eating human corpses to fight climate change, but even that insane concept was far too sane for this activist." . . .

Troll?

What Is The LaRouche Cult? The Group Taking Credit For ‘Eating Babies’ Ocasio-Cortez Troll

. . . "The group’s stunt is “a fairly well-established tactic” for it, Matthew Sweet, a historian who has documented the group, said according to WaPo. Conspiracy theorist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. founded the LaRouche PAC.

“ 'They’ve been doing this since the ’70s,” Sweet told WaPo. “The tactic is you go to a political meeting and you create a disturbance that disrupts the meeting, and more importantly, that creates a kind of chaos.' ” . . .

. . . LaRouche Jr. built up his following, which reaches across the world, “based on conspiracy theories, economic doom, anti-Semitism, homophobia and racism,” WaPo wrote in an obituary on LaRouche Jr., who died in 2019. He ran for president eight times between 1976 and 2004.  . . .

World War II Was Bloody, But The Battle For Okinawa Was a Horror Show

The National Interest

"Buckner also had the 27th and 77th Infantry Divisions available in reserve. The American general thus commanded a landing force larger than the one employed in the Normandy invasion the previous year. Over 180,000 soldiers and Marines would be going ashore."

"To the Americans, Okinawa represented a major stepping-stone toward the final defeat of the Japanese Empire. The successful occupation of the island by American forces would provide air bases and naval facilities that would allow for attacks on the Home Islands themselves. To the Japanese, the surrender of a base so close to the heart of the empire would seriously compromise the ability of their armed forces to defend the homeland. Capture of the island would also interdict the critical flow of petroleum to Japan from Borneo, Sumatra, and Burma.

"Okinawa is the largest and most densely populated island in the Ryukyu chain, some 380 miles southwest of the Japanese Home Island of Kyushu. With a total area of 485 square miles, Okinawa is approximately 60 miles long with a width of 2 to 18 miles. The island’s northeastern area is very rugged, mountainous, wooded, and lightly populated.

"In 1945 the population of Okinawa was estimated to be approximately 500,000, two-thirds of whom lived in the southern one-third of the island. Unlike the north, the south had large open areas suitable for cultivation. Before World War II, the Okinawans maintained a largely rural, agricultural society. The islanders fished and raised sugar
cane, sweet potatoes, rice, and soybeans. They tended to concentrate in small villages rather than in large cities. Ancestor worship dominated their religious practices, and the tombs of those ancestors dotted the countryside.

"The Japanese on Kyushu regarded the Okinawans as their inferiors. The Okinawans were a blend of Japanese, Malay, and Chinese ancestry. Although they spoke a Japanese dialect, communication between the two groups often remained strained. Okinawan labor provided most of the manpower for the construction of the elaborate system of defenses erected by the Imperial Japanese Army." . . .
