Have the Democrats no shame?


Two groups of ladies dressed in white  ". . . How would the suffragettes react to women who equate  women's rights with abortion?  As for equal pay, we already have those laws on the books.  In fact, they should have dressed in white when they visited President Obama.  It turns out that "equal pay for women" was a problem for the Obama team.

"Unlike Las Damas in Cuba, the Democrat women enjoy a few advantages:
1) They got to sit and criticize the president's speech.  Las Damas in Cuba don't get to boo or disagree with Raúl Castro when he speaks.
2) The Democrat women got to run out of the speech and look for local reporters willing to broadcast their anti-Trump comments.  We repeat that Las Damas face thugs and the secret police harassing them every Sunday afternoon.
Read more.

Trump's speech exposes the sickness of the Democrat Party  . . . "Here are just a few Trump putting America first promises that have enraged Democrats launching a scorched earth policy to stop him.
" 'A new national pride is sweeping across our nation."  Democrat-controlled public schools have been teaching our kids that patriotism is racist
" 'All the nations of the world – friend or foe – will find that America is strong, America is proud, and America is free."  Remember Obama touring the world, apologizing for our greatness?" . . .

Pelosi calls on Sessions to resign for Russian contacts. Has Obama turned America into a third-world country?

"Pelosi and other leading Democrats know full well that accusing Trump of treason outright will not only show them to be paranoid idiots, but also expose their smear campaign for what it is: an underhanded attempt to destroy Trump's credibility.  The smear against Sessions is typical."

Rick Moran  "House minority leader Nancy Pelosi has called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign because he failed to disclose two conversations that Sessions had with the Russian ambassador while he was serving as senator.

"The Washington Post reported that Sessions met with the Russian ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, once in July and once in September. 

"In a statement posted on Twitter later by his spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores, Sessions said he had never discussed campaign details with any Russian officials." . . .

This is a major happening and signals a strong movement to sabotage the Trump Administration in every way possible.  If Obama has the support of the American people in this, we will officially be a third-world country:

From the UK Daily Mail: Barack Obama's close confidante Valerie Jarrett has moved into his new DC home, which is now the nerve center for their plan to mastermind the insurgency against President Trump



. . . " 'He had hoped to write his memoirs, golf to his heart's content. and bask in the glory of his eight years in power and the progressive achievements he brought about. Instead, he is going to be leading the fight and strategy to topple Trump.' says the insider.
" . . .



The Sedition Begins! Valerie Jarrett Moves In With the Obamas in D.C.  "Former president Obama is actively engaged in sedition against President Trump. Like a tinpot dictator, he is trying to unseat him. He has set up a command base in his mansion in the ritzy DC neighborhood of Kalorama and had Valerie Jarrett move in. There will be plenty of money for his movement as he and his wife just got about a $30 million dollar book deal – for two books – without a book being sold.
"Obama wants Trump to be ousted through a forced resignation or impeachment, according to a close family friend speaking to Daily Mail
"Obama cannot use his West End office, a post-presidency perk, for political purposes." . . .

Sedition 
1. Incitement of discontent or rebellion against a government.

2. any action, especially in speech or writing, promoting such discontent or rebellion.

Wouldn't this be an impeachable offense?

"Via The Huffington Post/Reuters: "President Barack Obama was caught on camera on Monday assuring outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he will have "more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after the U.S. presidential election. Obama, during talks in Seoul, urged Moscow to give him "space" until after the November ballot, and Medvedev said he would relay the message to incoming Russian president Vladimir Putin. The unusually frank exchange came as Obama and Medvedev huddled together on the eve of a global nuclear security summit in the South Korean capital, unaware their words were being picked up by microphones as reporters were led into the room...' ".

UK Telegraph  . . . "And Mr Medvedev finishes: "I understand. I will transmit this information to Vladimir [Putin].' "

The Somme then and now.. Amazing use of technology

YouTube  "This is my final film of the Battle of the Somme. My other two films, the Somme then and now parts 1 and 2 were just really test runs for this final film, filmed in full HD with many more locations. The name changes were due to Google messing up my accounts,, the other two films would have been removed ...this is my tribute.....The first three pieces of Music are by Ralph Vaughn Williams then Holts and finally Elgar please leave feed back and thank you for watching....We will remember them." . . .

  • "Holst: I Vow To Thee My Country" by The Coldstream Guards Band"



  • Becoming engrossed in this subject because of this piece of artistry, I had to explore further:

    "The fields around Beaumont-Hamel after the Battle of the Somme."

    Black victimhood: The club no one can join

    Image result for rachel dolezal cartoons

    Daniel G. Jones  In 2015, a woman was fired from several positions because of her race. Liberals, whom you’d normally expect to be up in arms over this sort of injustice, were silent. The media gave the story wide coverage and, as is their habit in cases of racial discrimination, voiced a uniform opinion. Their opinion in this case was unusual: the woman deserved to be fired because she was the wrong race.


    That woman was Rachel Dolezal, who lost her presidency of the Spokane branch of the NAACP, her chairpersonship of Spokane’s Police Ombudsman Commission, her teaching position at Eastern Washington University (she taught in the Africana Education program), and her freelance status as a contributor to Spokane’s The Inlander, when it was discovered that she was white. (She’d been outed by her white parents with whom she was estranged.)
    . . .
    "Rachel Dolezal was guilty of victimhood appropriation. She had attempted to join the club of black privilege but -- like the lowly-born upstart who tried to gain membership into the English gentleman’s club of old -- she failed because she lacked the proper breeding. Recent reports describe her as unemployed, living on food stamps, and nearly homeless. As an English baron might have remarked, “Serves her right for putting on airs.' ”
    "Victimhood appropriation"?

    Trump Effect? Poll Shows CNN Brand Plummeting

    Daily Caller  "CNN’s brand has continued to struggle.
    "CNN, which President Trump has referred to as the “Clinton News Network,” now trails both MSNBC and Fox News in brand perception, according to findings from YouGov. Both MSNBC and CNN have fallen far behind Fox News in recent months." . . .


    “ 'CNN’s negative acceleration point happened in mid-October 2016, around the time Anderson Cooper interviewed Melania Trump, notably discussing her husband’s famous ‘Access Hollywood’ tape,” YouGov’s Ted Marzilli notes.

    “ 'Also at that time, a local North Carolina Republican office was firebombed, causing conservative-leaning media to pounce on CNN for suggesting Trump’s rhetoric spurred the incident.”

    "He concludes: “The big picture — going back to early 2016 — shows the possible toll particular news events, and being the recipient of incessant Trump bashing, may have taken on CNN.' ”   Read more

    How's this for CNN bias?  CNN Reporter Asks Obama: Are GOP Candidates "Uninformed, Out Of Touch, Or Irresponsible?"  Video
    " 'Last night at the Republican debate, some of the hopefuls, they hope to get your job, they defended the practice of waterboarding which is a practice you banned in 2009. Herman Cain said, quote, 'I don't see that as torture.' Michele Bachmann said that it's, quote, 'very effective.' So I'm wondering if you think that they're uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?" CNN's White House correspondent Dan Lothian asked President Obama in Hawaii." . . . Dan Lothian, journalism at it's finest.

    Naturally Lothian gets the old "that's not who we are" response.

    Some unhappy faces over the Trump speech Tuesday

    From Tuesday: Maxine Waters will boycott Trump’s speech as Nancy Pelosi vows Democrats won’t be ‘out-classed’  . . . "Waters was one of nearly 70 elected Democrats who chose to boycott Trump’s inauguration. Some Democrats claimed they had other things to do that day, but most, including Waters, said their refusal to attend was about resistance to Trump. Waters began talking about President Trump’s impeachment even before he was inaugurated and hasn’t stopped since." . . .
    "The Hill reports that Waters’ office confirmed she would not attend the speech but denied she was encouraging others not to do so. So far, she appears to be the only Democrat planning to boycott though Rep. John Lewis told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution today, “I don’t know what I’m going to do right at this moment.” Rep. Eliot Engel announced today that he will attend the speech but, for the first time in 29 years, he will not stand near the aisle to shake the President’s hand as he enters the chamber:" . . .

    "Democrats refused to stand and applaud multiple times during President Donald Trump’s hour-long Tuesday night address to Congress.
    "A few things Trump spoke to Congress about included creating jobs for the country’s citizens, immigration reform, bolstering the military, lowering drug prices and returning power to the states.
    "Democrats, in response, refused to react when Trump mentioned America and putting Americans back to work." . . .

    Dedicated enemies of Mr. Trump: Democrats, and the news/ entertainment media. But I repeat myself.


    Trump supporters around the country are under violent attack from black people, all the while MSNBC and others are trying to convince us the opposite is true  . . . "The latest comes from Kettering, Ohio, in the suburbs of Dayton. Over the weekend, a white kid walked out of sports bar where a dozen black people started taunting and harassing and threatening him about Donald Trump." . . .

    The Art of Making the Right Enemies . . . Who are his enemies? 1) The media, who purvey “fake news”: A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll shows that 53 percent of Americans think the media are “exaggerating the problems with the Trump administration because they are uncomfortable and threatened with the kind of change that Trump represents.” 2) China, which Trump says is stealing our jobs: 52 percent of Americans have an unfavorable opinion of China. 3) Globalists, a conspiratorial group he accuses of rigging the economy against workers: Polls show that most Americans agree with Trump’s economic plans. 4) The “establishment,” some shadowy cabal of insiders opposed to his administration: Polls show that 86 percent of Americans think “a small group in our nation’s capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost.” 5) Radical Islamic terrorists, who aren’t particularly popular in the United States. 6) Illegal immigrants, who share a similarly low approval rating. 7) And, of course, Democrats, who currently enjoy a -16 percent approval rating overall, as opposed to Trump’s -4 percent.

    Five Minute Ovation for Trump but Pouty Democrats Sit on Their Butts (VIDEO)


    AWFUL: Top Democrats Refuse To Stand, Clap For Navy SEAL Widow Honored By Trump  . . . "And House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) apparently sat there and didn’t cheer as the incredible moment progressed, along with Senator Bernie Sanders and others – see this video at approximately three minutes in, as the cameras pan the crowd. Look at the right hand side of this screenshot:" . . .


    "That guy who worked for Hillary, Dan Grilo is getting hammered at twitter for calling the SEAL's crying widow an idiot:"



    Van Jones...Van Jones of all people : "Trump 'became president' when he honored SEAL widow  . . . " 'And for people who had been hoping he would become unifying, hoping that he might find someway to become presidential, they should be happy with that moment," Jones said.
    " 'For people who have been hoping that maybe he would remain a divisive cartoon, which he often finds a way to do, they should be a little bit worried tonight. Because that thing you just saw him do, if he finds a way to do that over and over again, he's going to be there for eight years.' "  Rick Moran

    Chris Wallace: Donald Trump became the President of the United States tonight!
    “I want to say this right, but I feel like tonight Donald Trump became the President of the United States. Yes of course he got it 35, 38, 40 days ago when he was sworn in. But so many Democrats didn’t recognize him.
    I think tonight whether they agree with him or didn’t agree with him, he became the President of the United States and everyone is going to have to accept that fact.”

    Battle Stations HMS Victory Documentary


    HMS Victory  "HMS Victory is the Royal Navy's most famous warship. Best known for her role in the Battle of Trafalgar, the Victory currently has a dual role as the Flagship of the First Sea Lord and as a living museum to the Georgian Navy. The visitor experience onboard HMS Victory at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard as Nelson’s famous flagship from the Battle of Trafalgar is now brought alive with a hand-held audio guide for the first time in the ship’s history." . . .
    . . . "HMS Victory was permanently saved for posterity in 1922 following a national appeal, and placed into dry dock at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard where she remains today. Visitors to Portsmouth Historic Dockyard can now trace the development of Britain’s technical maritime advancements. Maintaining a ship like Victory out of water presents huge challenges, but you can be sure that Victory will never lose her original charm and appeal." . . .

    Where Nelson died



    Victory now collapsing under her own weight  "Britain's most famous warship is at risk of collapsing under its own weight according to structural engineers.
    "HMS Victory, Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship at the Battle of Trafalgar, needs 136 metal props fitted as the historic vessel's deck sinks towards its keel (a ship's backbone) by a fifth of an inch (0.5cm) each year.
    "The ship is also slowly falling backwards, away from the bowsprit - HMS Victory's front end - and water is getting into the hull. " . . .

    All this brings to mind a song....

    FLASHBACK: Media Gushed Over Obama’s First Address to Congress

    MRC
    “ 'He took us to the mountain tops.” 
    “ 'Big and bold.”    
    “ 'He wowed us!” 
    "No, these aren’t movie critic blurbs on a movie poster praising a star actor’s performance, these were the immediate reactions from the liberal media to President Barack Obama’s first address to Congress. Will Donald Trump’s speech tonight receive similar accolades? Given the press’s hostility to the new president, it seems unlikely."


    Useful idiots being useful idiots; Is there any disgust in America over the actions of people in this party?

    Pelosi pushes impeachment, says Trump supporters have bad judgment  . . . "Many of the President’s supporters are just not ready to accept the fact that their judgment might not have been so great in voting for him. And by the time the case is made, perhaps they’ll be ready to accept that. It’s very hard, impeachment. It’s very hard.' ” . . .

    Tom Perez Compares Trump to Jim Crow and Know-Nothings  . . . "Perez, the ‘establishment’ candidate in a hotly contested DNC race, began a sprint to the left immediately following his victory. A day after he won the DNC election, Perez peddled the conspiracy theory that Russia and the Trump campaign “rigged” the 2016 presidential election."

    "You probably have seen viral videos of the disruption of town halls held by Congressman Tom Reed.
    "The media narrative is that there was an organic, grassroots uprising by concerned citizens.
    "Don’t believe it. As detailed below, there was a well-organized national and local campaign to get activists to Reed’s town halls for the specific purpose of creating a protest environment. Instructions how to protest and what questions to ask were circulated. Though the town halls were in the western part of the district, liberal groups in Ithaca and Tompkins county organized protests and got their members there. Other liberal groups like Planned Parenthood also got their people out." . . .
