Past Tunnel Wall posts on the Normandy landings, June 6th, 1944

Joe Biden’s mental decline sadly evident twice yesterday

Thomas Lifson  "How will Joe Bide be able to handle presidential debates?  Or campaigning beyond his basement?   
"I almost hate to point this out because I do have compassion for anyone facing the mental challenges of aging. But the Oval Office is no place for someone needing compassion for his or her mental deterioration (or any job-related disability).  Keep Joe Biden feeding the geese at his lavish estate in Delaware and I will gush with sympathy and maybe even share with him my own bouts with aging." . . .
. . . 
"Two brief video clips illustrate the difficulty Joe has with remaining coherent. Here, despite repeatedly looking down to his notes, he repeats the same basic point three times within 45 seconds, as if there are no thoughts resident in his brain beyond the single talking point written down: . . .

In his 2012 debate with Paul Ryan, didn't Biden seem more than a little strange to you?


One retired Marine isn’t putting up with Mattis’s nonsense

Regrettable, but I still admire the General as a Marine I'd have been honored to serve under.  TD

Andrea Widburg   "Ret. Marine General James Mattis, who served as Trump’s Defense Secretary, resigned over a year ago, but has apparently been nursing a grudge since then. Last week, he took to the pages of the left-wing Atlantic magazine to air that grievance.
"Mattis revealed a small mind. His facts were wrong, and his arguments foolish and simplistic. The Democrat media, of course, celebrated the article despite its fundamental flaws. Retired Marine Captain John M. Dowd, however, decided that he wasn’t going to sit there and take that nonsense, so he struck back. What he wrote is red meat for conservatives and Trump supporters.
"To understand what Mattis wrote for the Atlantic, you have to know that, while he does love the Marines, he’s a leftist at heart. He supports the global warming agenda; is hostile to Israel; shied away from fights with the Mullahs; wanted so-called transgenders in the military; wouldn’t leave Afghanistan; and ultimately quit because he wanted to keep U.S. troops in Syria (reminder: the disaster leftists predicted for Trump’s pullout never materialized).
"If you need more evidence that Mattis is a leftist politician, he hung out with limousine leftists:. . . "

Please, Mr. President , listen to General Mattis...

"...you are all that is standing between us and people like Hillary Clinton, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff, Pelosi, and all those scowling Democrats at the State of the Union and on the House Judiciary Committee.  Once again the White House will be host to the likes of Al Sharpton, friend of white-hating Louis Farrakhan; America-hating socialists like Bill Ayers, foul-mouthed, purple-haired soccer players, and any number of sleazy politicians. Perhaps once again "congenital liar" Hillary Clinton may - once again - enrich herself as a U.S. government official on the international scene. Ukraine may once more grovel before the demands of the Bidens.
Look at the cities run by these people and picture what they will do to America.  All these I fear.    The Tunnel Dweller"

Why Christians shouldn’t jump on bandwagon of progressive groups like Black Lives Matter

Lifesite News

This movement is not about giving justice to George Floyd, but about remaking society and creating a progressive utopia out of the ashes of the society that we now inhabit. 


"June 5, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – For the past week and a half, social media has melted down into a dumpster fire of virtue-signalling, accusations, anger, and finger-pointing. If you didn’t black out your profile photo for #BlackOutTuesday, you were probably insufficiently committed to combatting racism. If you didn’t immediately embrace Black Lives Matter, it was your knee on George Floyd’s neck, too. If you refused to climb aboard the raucous bandwagon without first asking who was driving it, Christians of a certain type relished telling others that they were irredeemable racists. One gets the sense that running into a view that differed from their own made these Christians feel a bit persecuted, and relished their brief participation in the ranks of the oppressed.
"What has been incredibly frustrating is that the narrative of a “divided America” is not really accurate in this specific instance. I’d wager that around 90% of Americans agree on two things: George Floyd was brutally murdered, and the perpetrator should be brought to justice; and looting and burning down cities is wrong. Responding to a murder by creating more suffering is obviously not the answer, and people of good faith agree on that. We can all agree on these two basic facts, which means that in reality, we should have much common ground to work from." . . .

Bail Reform Isn’t Working

Vandals run free in Democrat-led cities and we must decide, do we want our entire nation to be afflicted with that kind of government?

American Free Press


"Criminals in California are now essentially operating with impunity as many local jurisdictions and the state’s Judicial Council have moved to enact a zero-bail policy for most misdemeanor and lower-level felony crimes with the threat of the Covid-19 virus being used as the reason.
"Criminal justice reform activists and organizations have been demanding such policies for decades, and the Covid-19 pandemic has finally provided the state’s legal, judicial, and law enforcement authorities justification under the guise of public health.
"Since the policy change, countless dangerous criminals have been cited and released with little or no punishment for their crimes. Late last month, officers in Glendora, Calif., just outside Los Angeles, arrested a man three times in one day, yet were forced to release the criminal rather than take him to jail as a result of the new policy.
"Dijon Landrum, a 24-year-old from the area, was arrested at roughly 8:30 am on Wednesday, April 29 while driving a stolen vehicle. Officers also found other stolen property and narcotics on Landrum and simply issued the man a citation and released him." . . .
