The white cockade

John Rutledge  "I first learned of the white cockade while I was reading the novel Bunker Hill by Nathaniel Philbrick.  On April 19, 1775, a militia regiment was positioned on top of Punkatasset Hill in Concord, Massachusetts.  As the regiment began marching downhill to confront the British forces, a young Minuteman from Acton named Luther Blanchard began playing a tune on his fife.  It was reportedthat  the militiamen began singing this tune while they marched off to fight the Redcoats.  That tune was "The White Cockade."  This song was known to be used during the 1745 Jacobite Uprising.  Prince Charles of the House of Stuarts sought to reclaim the family throne, which at the time was being ruled by William and Mary.  "Bonnie Prince Charlie" led a rebellion known as the "Jacobites," who hailed from the Scottish Highlands, lowland northeast of Scotland, Ireland, and Northern England.  The Bonnie Prince pinned a white rose on his blue bonnet as a symbol of rebellion.  The prince's rebellion failed, but his myth and courage lived on through the years.  In 1790, the famous Scottish poet Robert Burns penned a song in memory of Prince Charles and his White Cockade.

My love was born in Aberdeen

The bonniest lad that e'er was seen

But now he makes our hearts fu' sad

He's taken to the field wi' his White Cockade

O he's a rantin', rovin' lad

He is a brisk and a bonny lad

Betide what may, I will be wed

And follow the laddy wi' the White Cockade

. . . "The white cockade was once used as a symbol of defiance against tyranny.  In 2016, we chose and elected Donald J. Trump as our symbol of defiance against a United States government that was no longer a representative of "We the people."  President Trump and a great many American patriots have clearly exposed, for all the world to see, the corruption we've believed was there all along.  What a more fitting and perfect way for President Trump to represent America than by adopting the white cockade as a symbol for his 2020 campaign?  It's a perfect representation of his revolutionary spirit, and his rebellious fight against the Deep State, the anti-American liberals, and the feckless GOP RINOs. 

"How great would the white cockade look on the president's lapel, right next to his American flag pin?  If for no other reason, it would drive the Democrats and the liberals more apoplectic than they already are.

"Donald Trump is the most important president this country has seen since George Washington.  I say this without hyperbole and as a well read amateur historian.  President Trump, his family, and the amazing behind-the-scenes Patriots are the last great hope for the sake and future of this country and everything our Founders fought so hard and died for.

Adam Schiff Has Jumped the Shark

Geoff Shepard

There is even more basis for the good chairman himself to be called as a witness in any Senate impeachment trial. Let us learn all we can about the rationale for one or more such secret subpoenas. Talk about the need to drain the swamp. This is a prime example.

"Many Americans remain nonplussed over revelations in the House Intelligence Committee’s Impeachment Inquiry Report that its chairman, Adam Schiff, not only secretly subpoenaed telephone records from President Trump’s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, but also obtained responses that detailed dates and lengths of phone calls to Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, ranking committee member Devin Nunes, and Hill reporter John Solomon. That Schiff self-disclosed this action as a rightful part of his committee’s information gathering is equally stunning.
"Every bit as bad, it appears that national telephone carriers AT&T and Verizon, who so tout their corporate concerns about subscriber privacy, responded to such obviously politicized demands without a whimper.
"Schiff’s actions, and indeed those of everyone involved in secretly demanding and producing these phone records, while perhaps not outright illegal, are simply beyond the pale and reminiscent of Big Brother, from George Orwell’s 1984.
"Schiff’s defenders dismiss such concerns, saying the only information thus obtained was the time, duration, and date of these calls and not actual content. But the very ambiguity from this partial record is now used to support all sorts of hypothetical possibilities, such as the assertion that Giuliani had called a number “associated with OMB” — even though lots of other organizations within the Executive Office of the president use the 395 prefix.
"It’s really scary to think that this sort of thing has not only been going on for some time, but proudly so." . . .

Geoff Shepard came to D.C. as a White House Fellow right after graduation from Harvard Law School and spent five years on Nixon’s White House staff, including serving as deputy counsel on his Watergate defense team

Devin Nunes and Adam Schiff's phony phone records  . . . "But there's a far bigger problem than just Schiff's spy operation, complete with disgruntled deep-state CIA officers. Nunes says he's checked his own phone records and it looks like Schiff made them up." . . .

Gun control on display: Three Saudis were caught filming the shooting at Pensacola Air Base…

The Right Scoop   . . . "Six Saudis were detained for questioning, including the three that were filming the shooting:" . . .

If there was any thought that Alshamrani was a jihadi lone wolf just killing to earn his Muslim salvation and take out a few evil westerners, it looks like we can rule that out now. Clearly this was bigger than just a lone wolf attack if there were other Saudis filming the shooting. I mean, seriously, why would they be filming it and how would they even know to film it? It must’ve been coordinated for terrorist propaganda purposes. At least that’s the only conclusion I can draw from this.

It would go well with the beheading sections of their library. 

Disarmed: Gun Control on Military Bases (And Why it Must End) Within reason! I had in my barracks a good number of men whom nobody would have wanted to be armed. Does the word "fragging" ring a bell with anyone?

Robert Spencer: Pensacola Jihad Massacre Proves We've Learned Nothing Since the Fort Hood Attack  . . . "Many credulous Americans, meanwhile, will believe his list of grievances, and think that if we just stop committing these supposed “crimes,” that the jihad will disappear. Actually, grievance lists such as Alshamrani’s are common from jihadis, who have to couch their jihads as defensive in the absence of a caliphate. In Sunni law, only the caliph can declare offensive jihad. So when there is no caliph, all jihad must be defensive. The enumerated grievances are pretexts that enable a jihadi lawfully to kill in accordance with Islamic law.
"Alshamrani was in the country to get aviation training. No one flagged him as a potential jihadi. No one would even have dared to question him to try to ascertain his thoughts about the United States and the global jihad. Any effort to have done so would have been denounced as “Islamophobic,” and would have been career suicide for whoever did the questioning.
"We saw this with the Fort Hood jihad mass murderer, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, who was praised and promoted despite alarming his colleagues with his talk of violent jihad. None of his superiors dared do anything except promote him; they knew that if they questioned him about his loyalties, they would be the subject of a CNN feature story the next week on “Islamophobia in the Military,” and they would be looking at a dishonorable discharge." . . .

Pro-Abortion Pelosi's Convenient Catholicism  "If House speaker Nancy Pelosi is a "practicing Catholic," then Sen. Elizabeth Warren is an American Indian.  If she is a practicing Catholic, then one hopes that one day, she gets it right.  You cannot be in fundamental disagreement with a fundamental doctrine of the Catholic Church and then wrap yourself in its vestments to proclaim you don't hate anybody.

"Funny: Cafeteria Catholic Pelosi doesn't invoke her Christian conscience when she supports her caucus's abortion-until-birth infanticide policy, the ultimate separation of mother from child.  There is no worse brutality than what an unborn child feels at the hands of a surgeon's tools.  It is a fact that forceps kill more children than guns.  A detention center on the border or the deportation of those who have had their due process and have a deportation order lawfully issued by a judge doesn't even come close.

"Pelosi did not respect faith-based communities and other organizations, such as her Catholic Church, when it came to Obamacare's attempt to force them and the institutions they administer to provide insurance that pays for abortions and contraceptives.  When it comes to Catholics and pro-life people acting on their religious conscience, she fights them quicker than you can say "Hobby Lobby."  As LifeSiteNews reported during a recent abortion funding battle:" . . .
