37 beautiful, sad but touching colourised images of WWII

War History Online  

"Many thanks go to Doug Banks and his team – the masters of colourisation.  The beauty of these colourised images is that colour, allows you to pick out and study the smallest detail. This makes these 100 year old images ‘alive’.Do not click on their page – you will become addicted to their work  It is the research that they do on each image that makes the captions themselves a history lesson."

Debbie Schlussel: Debate Post-Mortem: What Trump Did & Could’ve Done; Lester Holt, Faux-“Moderator”
. . . "So, today, most of the media pundits and know-it-alls are telling us Hillary Clinton “won” the debate. Not in the debate I saw. For the first half, Donald Trump was pummeling her, and she was flailing. While she may have “recovered” in the second half, I think that half was boring, tiring, and a draw. Yes, I do believe she managed to put Trump on the defensive for part of that second half, as she attacked him on his business and his comments about “women.” But that’s where I think the opportunities were lost and Trump could have turned it on her." . . .

Ann Althouse seems to have been captivated by Hillary's "shoulder shimmy"
"It was a little shimmy of her shoulders — cheeky, insouciant — accompanied by a big, toothy grin. Her opponent smirked."  
"But what is the shimmy? Was Hillary doing the shimmy? Is the shimmy presidential??"

Hillary Says She Killed Bin Laden, Navy SEAL Who Did Has Perfect Response

Amanda Shea  "Hillary Clinton was speaking at a campaign event for veterans where it was no surprise that most of the heroes invited didn’t bother showing up to hear her lie to them. However, those who did were shocked when she took credit for killing Osama Bin Laden, especially the navy SEAL who fired the fatal shot who had the perfect response for the Butcher of Benghazi." . . .

 Rob O’Neill who killed Osama Bin Laden (right)

. . . "Rob O’Neill was the Navy SEAL who actually killed Bin Laden, and he had something to say about her disgusting claim when addressing iton Fox News. Using the now-famous picture of President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and the president’s cabinet all in the situation room when the sniper was given the go-ahead to send the fatal fire, O’Neill said that he and his team were visited by everyone in that photo except for Clinton who couldn’t be bothered. Refusing to meet with these men and thank them contradicts what she was touting at the convention to convince her small crowd that she would be the best Commander-in-Chief.

. . . "This inconvenient fact proves that once again, Clinton has no respect for our heroes and only cares about herself since she not only takes credit for killing the terrorist leader but won’t even thank those who did. It’s convenient for Clinton to claim responsibility for events that earn her undeserved praise, but not take credit for the crimes she’s committed. She’s so arrogant that she thought that she could get away with this whopper of a lie, but got called out on it by the man himself who was actually there."

Who can save us from the do-gooders? They set captive penguin "free" and now his chicks may die

'Please help us find Buddy, his chicks are dying!' Desperate hunt for South African penguin who has never seen the sea but was 'set free' in Indian Ocean, leaving wife and babies to die

"A desperate search is under way for an endangered African penguin stolen from a marine park and released into the Indian Ocean by two students 'who wanted to set him free'.

"CCTV footage showed them breaking into Bayworld Oceanarium in the dead of night and taking selfies with 'Buddy' before one of them stripped down to his waist, wrapped the penguin in a T-shirt and drove away.

"Since his disappearance a week ago, one of the penguin's two chicks has died after his mate apparently struggled to care for their young alone.". . . 

" 'I am so angry with the guys who took him, they just don't get it. They should be out there looking for him, they are young and stupid.' "

Hillary Clinton’s Lyin’ Eyes  . . . "Her uncoordinated eye movements are just the latest of a string of medical concerns. Facial tics and spasms, needing assistance going up a short flight of steps, four-minute coughing fits, and her famous 9/11 collapse. This collapse was blamed on pneumonia which Mrs. Clinton miraculously recovered from a few hours later. Her personal physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack, assures an apprehensive electorate, “She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States.' " . . .

1993 interview with father of Clinton aide Huma Abedin

Archive video exposes Weiner in-law

"Syed Abedin, the father of top Hillary Clinton aide Huma, outlined his view of Sharia law and how the Western world has turned Muslims “hostile” during a wide-ranging video interview that shines newfound light on the reclusive thinker’s world views, according to footage exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

"Abedin, a Muslim scholar who was tied to the Saudi Arabian government until his death in 1993, has remained somewhat of a mystery as the media turns its eye to his daughter Huma, a top Clinton campaign aide who recently announced her separation from husband Anthony Weiner following his multiple sex scandals.

"Syed Abedin explained his views on the Muslim world and spread of Islam during a 1971 interview titled The World of Islam, which was first broadcast on Western Michigan University television.

. . . 

“The main dynamics of life in the Islamic world are still supplied by Islam,” he said. “Any institution, as I said before, any concept, any idea, in order to be accepted and become a viable thing in the Islamic world has to come through … Islam.”

"Abedin’s views on religion have become a central topic among those who have questioned Clinton’s choice to elevate Human Abedin into such a prominent role.

"The Abedins helped create the Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs, a publication accused of having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and of promoting a hardline Islamic ideology."

World War II justified by former German soldiers

Aged German veterans of WW2 confronted by young Dutch lady
Did they really not know? The young lady confronts them with the history of the German raid on Putten, the Netherlands:

"The Putten raid was one the worst civilian raids conducted by Nazi Germany in occupied Netherlands during the Second World War. On 1 October 1944, a total of 602 men - almost the entire male population of the village - were taken from Putten, in the central Netherlands, and deported to various concentration camps inside Germany. Only 48 returned at the end of the war. The action was undertaken as a reprisal for a Dutch resistanceattack on a vehicle carrying personnel from the Wehrmacht." . . .

The Construct of the White Working-Class Zombies

Victor Davis Hanson  "One of the strangest transformations in the era of Obama has been the overt and often gratuitous stereotyping of 
so-called white people — most often the white working classes who have become constructed into veritable unthinking and unrecognizable zombies. For progressives especially these were not the sympathetic old foundation of the Democratic party, who were once romanticized as the “people” pitted against the industrialists and the bluestockings, but rather have become monstrous caricatures of all sorts of incorrect race/class/and gender behavior and speech.". . .

"Secret location = Cave.

"Via NBC News:

Taliban leaders tuned into Monday night’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump from a secret location in Afghanistan, a spokesman for the militant group told NBC News.

“We were very interested in watching,” said Zabihullah Mujahid.

The spokesman added that “Trump … [says] anything that comes to his tongue” and branded the Republican candidate as “non-serious.”

He said the militant group’s leadership had hoped that Afghanistan would feature more prominently in the discussion.

Celebrate Diversity! ABC’s “Modern Family” To Feature First “Transgender Child” Actor On TV…

Weasel Zippers

"How progressive."

LOS ANGELES — This Wednesday’s “Modern Family” will include the first openly transgender child actor on TV.

In the upcoming episode — entitled “A Stereotypical Day” — parents Cameron “Cam” (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) permit their daughter Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) to have her transgender friend Tom over for a play-date.

Both parents are filled with pride that they have done well in raising an accepting and open-minded child. But that pride quickly diminishes when Lily insults her friend, which they use as a teachable moment.

Lily’s playmate Tom will be played by 8-year-old transgender actor Jackson Millarker.

Modern Family’s “A Stereotypical Day” will air on Wednesday at 9/8c on ABC.

Debate Questions In Advance

Overpasses For America  "The first presidential debate was held and Hillary Clinton was proclaimed the winner by the media. Indeed Clinton was able to turn in a strong debate performance, but did she do so fairly? Multiple reports and leaked information from inside the Clinton camp claim that the Clinton campaign was given the entire set of debate questions an entire week before the actual debate.

"Earlier last week an NBC intern was seen hand delivering a package to Clinton’s campaign headquarters, according to sources. The package was not given to secretarial staff, as would normally happen, but the intern was instead ushered into the personal office of Clinton campaign manager Robert Mook. Members of the Clinton press corps from several media organizations were in attendance at the time, and a reporter from Fox News recognized the intern, but said he was initially confused because the NBC intern was dressed like a Fed Ex employee.

"The reporter from Fox questioned campaign staff about the intern, but campaign staff at first claimed ignorance and then claimed that it was just a Fed Ex employee who had already left. No reporters present who had seen the intern dressed as a Fed Ex employee go into Mook’s office saw him leave by the same front entrance. The Fox reporter who recognized the intern also immediately looked outside of the campaign headquarters and noted that there were no Fed Ex vehicles parked outside.

"Clinton seemed to have scripted responses ready for every question she was asked at the first debate. She had facts and numbers memorized for specific questions that it is very doubtful she would have had without being furnished the questions beforehand. The entire mainstream media has specifically been trying to portray Trump as a racist and a poor candidate. By furnishing Clinton with the debate questions NBC certainly hoped to make Clinton appear much more knowledgeable and competent than Trump. And though it is unlikely that anyone will be able to conclusively prove that Clinton was given the debate questions, it seems both logical and likely."
