Gov. Jerry Brown 1975: Don't 'Dump Vietnamese' Refugees on California

Breitbart  "Democratic Governor Jerry Brown once fought to keep out South Vietnamese refugees from being delivered to his state during his first stint as governor of California in the 1970’s, and although he remains silent on the crisis that is happening on the southern border of his state, Brown’s position, via legislation previously signed, on illegal immigrants from Mexico, Central and South America is much more favorable than the cool response he gave to the Vietnamese refugees who had escaped the tyrannical Viet Cong.

How many Vietnamese gangs in California compared to Latino gangs?

From the UK: "Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the most useless of them all? Obama rated WORST president since WW2 in embarrassing poll"

UK Mail   (Photos added by TD) "Sitting president Barack Obama was cited as the worst U.S. president out of the dozen men who have held the position dating back to 1945

"Former Hollywood actor Ronald Reagan ranked first on survey-takers' lists, followed by philandering presidents Bill Clinton and John F. Kennedy
"Americans are so chafed by Obama's leadership that they say the country would be better off with businessman and 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney at the helm ."  

" 'Over the span of 69 years of American history and 12 presidencies, President Barack Obama finds himself with President George W. Bush at the bottom of the popularity barrel,' Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll, said in a statement.

"Ranked in order of how bad Americans say they were, the 12 presidents included in the survey were: Obama, Bush, Richard Nixon,  Jimmy Carter, Lyndon Johnson, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, George H.W. Bush, Dwight Eisenhower, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy.

"This is a common refrain around the world from our allies. Our enemies don't fear us and our friends don't trust us. That's a combination almost guaranteed to bring about chaos in the world.

Charles Krauthammer Makes Astonishing Observation About the Security Around the White House’s Border

Independent Journal Review
 

"In light of the crisis at the southern border, Bill O’Reilly asked Charles Krauthammer a very simple question Tuesday:

“How do you secure the border, Charles?”

 "In response, Dr. Krauthammer offered an equally simple answer:

“You start with a fence. It’s very simple. … If fences don’t work, why is there one around the White House? If they don’t work, why is it that the Israeli fence which separates Israel from the West Bank has cut down terror attacks within Israel by 99%?”

"Obviously, the U.S./Mexico border is longer than the fence around the White House. But, think about it: Would the stream of illegal aliens coming across the border virtually unchecked be anywhere near what it now is if a fence – with razor wire, if necessary –
existed?"

Surprisingly, O'Reilly let Mr. Krauthammer continue uninterrupted without even his frequent "yeah", "uh-huh" that you hear when someone is speaking.

Liberal commentary to Mr. Krauthammer has this predictable statement:

"I'd like to see the fence that would be built..you people are total mrons.."

Other liberal comments elsewhere are something like: "Moronic post", "Delusional", etc.

'Brown shirts' threaten medical staff with arrest if they talk about immigrants

Todd Starnes

 

"A government-contracted security force calling itself the "Brown Shirts" have threatened to arrest doctors and nurses if they say anything about contagious diseases at a refugee camp for illegal immigrants set up at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas, Todd Starnes reported at Fox News on Wednesday.

"Despite the threat, Starnes said several workers broke their confidentiality agreements and shared exclusive details about the conditions at the camps. Starnes said he agreed not to disclose the names of those who came forward.

“ 'There were several of us who wanted to talk about the camps, but the agents made it clear we would be arrested,” one psychiatric counselor said. “We were under orders not to say anything.”....

...

"EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton took five days to issue a milquetoast condemnation of their abduction. But as execrable as Ashton’s silence was, US President Barack Obama’s response was even worse.

"Obama waited for the boys’ bodies to be found before ever mentioning them. And when he finally spoke, he made no distinction between Israel, the victim of this war crime, and the Palestinians who facilitated, perpetrated and celebrated this war crime.
 
"In Obama’s words, “From the outset, I have offered our full support to Israel and the Palestinian Authority to find the perpetrators of this crime and bring them to justice, and I encourage Israel and the Palestinian Authority to continue working together in that effort. I also urge all parties to refrain from steps that could further destabilize the situation.' ”

"As Rep. Franks said on June 12, “All US assistance to the Palestinian Authority should have been be suspended years ago, but openly joining a terrorist organization that kills women and children simply because they are Jewish should convince even the Obama administration to wake up and defund this madness.' ”

At Colorado burger joint, waitresses pack heat

Fox News


"It's called Shooters Grill and it is located in Rifle, Colo., so naturally, the waitresses pack heat.

"The burger joint, about 180 miles west of Denver, embraces the firearms theme with menu items like the "M16 burrito," "Smith & Wesson Grilled Cheese" and "Locked and Loaded Nachos." The salt and pepper shakers are made from shotgun shells. But the biggest Second Amendment statement is in the guns waitresses carry, including the Rueger Blackhawk .357 Ashlee Saenz sports.

"Owner Lauren Boebert, 27, started the trend when she began carrying a pistol shortly after opening the restaurant a year ago.

" 'I started open-carrying maybe a month after we opened just because I am a woman in business and I was there early hours and late nights," Boebert said. "There was a man beaten to death in the alley behind my restaurant last year. It was very unfortunate."

Good reviews at Yelp.

One bad review   " Lauren B, Owner at Shooters Grill, responded to this review, 1 week ago

Hi There! I saw your review and wanted to apologize for the dissatisfaction with your meal.

Our breakfast steaks are cut to be a smaller 6oz steak.

"We use to serve 8oz steaks in the mornings, and we were having a lot of folks saying it was "too much for breakfast" so we cut back on the size and the price to accommodate the requests of our frequent guests....but you can always upgrade to a larger steak! We hand cut all of our steaks in house, so we can always slice a larger steak!

"If ever you do not like the food you receive, for ANY reason, please let us know and we will do our best to correct your order!"

Shoot yeah: Shooters Grill owner Lauren Boebert and her husband Jayson, who have four children together,

encourage customers to bring their weapons with them while they eat at the diner in Rifle, Colorado

Even in the UK, they are known!  

• Shooters Grill opened in Rifle, Colorado, in May 2013
• Customers are encourage to carry weapons at the restaurant, as allowed by Colorado law
• Owner Lauren Boebert said: 'We don't worship guns - we worship Jesus.'
• They do not serve alcohol, which pleases local police

Omaha Beach Defences; some more links found

Hein Severloh, "the beast of Omaha"  

Killed over 1,000 American soldiers - Heinrich Severloh ( seems unlikely, given the number of other Germans defending the beach with machine guns, artillery and mortars. But still many deaths can be attributed to Severloh)

'Beast of Omaha' weeps as he recalls slaughter of thousands on beach
FOR Hein Severloh the ‘Longest Day’ meant nine hours constantly machine-gunning American soldiers as they attempted to land on Omaha Beach.

One image still brings tears to his eyes. A young American had run from his landing craft and sought cover behind a concrete block. Severloh, then a young lance-corporal in the German army in Normandy, aimed his rifle at the GI. He fired and hit the enemy square in the forehead. The American’s helmet flew away and rolled into the sea, his chin sank to his chest and he collapsed dead on the beach.

Tormented by the memory, Severloh now weeps at the thought of the unknown soldier’s death.

Severloh was safe in an almost impregnable concrete bunker overlooking the beach. He had an unimpeded view of the oncoming Allied forces. He was the last German soldier firing, and may have accounted for about 3,000 American casualties, almost three-quarters of all the US losses at Omaha. The Americans came to know him as the Beast of Omaha.

He had been saved from the waves of Allied bombing by the poor weather. The US aircrews were worried that if they allowed their bombs to fall too soon they might destroy their own landing ships. As they flew over they lingered before releasing their weapons, meaning the bombs often landed far behind the Nazi bunkers.

The Germans joked that the ‘Amis’ - their slang for the US forces - had merely bombed French cows and farmers rather than the German installations.

Alerted by the bombers, Severloh and the 29 others in his bunker rushed to their firing holes and prepared for the onslaught. Severloh, then just 20, gasped when he saw the ocean. He was confronted by what seemed to be a wall of Allied ships. He said: "My God. How am I going to get out of this mess?"

The veteran explained: "What could I do? I just thought that I was never going to make it to the rear. I thought that I was going to shoot for my very life. It was them or me - that is what I thought."

As the landing ships neared the beach, Severloh listened to the final orders from his commander, Lieutenant Berhard Frerking. They wanted to stop the Americans while they were still in the water and could not move easily. But if he fired too soon - while the soldiers were still some way out in the water - he risked missing them.

Frerking explained: "You must open fire when the enemy is knee-deep in the water and is still unable to run quickly."

Severloh had seen little action before. His previous stint on the Eastern Front had been cut short by tonsillitis. But he was anything but enthusiastic. Severloh said: "I never wanted to be in the war. I never wanted to be in France. I never wanted to be in that bunker firing a machine gun.

"I saw how the water sprayed up where my machine gun bursts landed, and when the small fountains came closer to the GIs, they threw themselves down. Very soon the first bodies were drifting in the waves of the rising tide. In a short time, all the Americans down there were shot."

He fired for nine hours, using up all the 12,000 machine-gun rounds. The sea turned red with the blood from the bodies. When he had no more bullets for the machine-gun, he started firing on the US soldiers with his rifle, firing off another 400 rifle rounds at the terrified GIs.

A leading German historical expert of the Second World War, Helmut Konrad Freiherr von Keusgen, believes Severloh may have accounted for 3,000 of the 4,200 American casualties on the day.

Severloh is less sure about the number, but said: "It was definitely at least 1,000 men, most likely more than 2,000. But I do not know how many men I shot. It was awful. Thinking about it makes me want to throw up. I almost emptied an entire infantry landing craft. The sea was red around it and I could hear an American officer shouting hysterically in a loudspeaker."

Lt-col Stuart Crawford, formerly of the Royal Tank Regiment, and a defence consultant, said it was entirely possible that a single German soldier had killed so many GIs.

He said: "I have fired that machine-gun. I did it as part of my training, and it has an extremely high rate of fire. He was in a position which was almost impervious to the weapons which the Americans could bring to bear on him. The Americans made the mistake of not landing tanks with the first wave of troops, so they had no support or protection."

HobLob verdict fine, but remember four voted against it.

Left wing hysteria ginned up over Hobby Lobby decision   "The outrage expressed by the left as a result of the Supreme Court decision to allow an Oklahoma family business to get out from under the contraceptive mandate in Obamacare is beyond belief.

Hobby Lobby Actually Lavishes Contraception Coverage on Its Employees    ... "In the Left’s fantasy world, the militant Christians at Hobby Lobby police single female employees to assure that they have not engaged in sinful, pre-marital sex. As for married women, Hobby Lobby deprives them of birth control so that each can deliver a new baby every nine months, for God’s glory, just like in the Old Testament.

Alan Caruba: When the World Goes Crazy it First Kills Jews

Warning Signs

 

If the far right were the Nazis who wanted to kill all Jews, why does the left call us who love Israel "the far right"?

 

"Consider this, if there had been a state of Israel in the 1930s, many more European Jews would have been able to escape the fate that consumed six million of them during the Nazi Holocaust during World War II."

...

 

"I don’t see any difference between the Nazis of the 1930s and the Islamists of these years. The Nazis received a lot of support from the Arabs of their era. As for Islam, the Koran is filled with admonitions against Jews in particular and every other “infidel” in general. While there have been periods of tolerance for Jews over the past 1,400 years, the animus towards them has never been reduced and, in present times, we have seen a massive rejection of Christians as well. When Israel became a state in 1948, thousands of Jews from throughout the Middle East fled for their lives to settle there.

Saintly old Palestinian (if there is such a thing) grandmother recalls golden memories of slaughtering Jews.

"In the metanarrative of Zionism, according to Michelle Campos, the event became 'a central symbol of Jewish persecution at the hands of bloodthirsty Arabs'^[4] and was 'engraved in the national psyche of Israeli Jews', particularly those who settled in Hebron after 1967.^[5] Hillel Cohen regards the massacre as marking a point-of-no-return in Arab-Jewish relations, and forcing the Mizrahi Jews to join forces with Zionism.^[6]"
