Malmedy Massacre - What Happened? Rare Original Film (WW2 Documentary)

Battle Guide  "On 17th December 1944 Hitler’s famous ‘Last Gamble in the West’ was one day old. Leading the northernmost of his westwards thrusts through the Ardennes were the SS troops of Kampfgruppe Peiper. Blocked and slowed at every turn by determined American defenders, they exacted a horrific toll on any who fell into their hands. This is the story of just one such event during the Battle of the Bulge, which took the name of the Malmedy Massacre."

Them drones, them drones; "We are currently in the "scare them with uncertainly" phase."

What to make of all these drones -- and the U.S. response?  "The CNN headline read: “Drones continue to buzz over US bases. The military isn’t sure why or how to stop them.”

"That seems odd … if not unbelievable … as the U.S. military is the most advanced and lavishly funded in the world.

"Yet it appears that every government department/agency/entity is entirely clueless and pointing fingers at every other government department/agency/entity.

"The article supporting the headline noted that the drones’ “…intent could be anything from attempting to gather intelligence on the base or testing its defenses and response time, to gaining a better understanding of how the bases work …”

"If their intent is to gather intelligence on the bases and those that run them, the intelligence they gather might indicate that there is no intelligence on those bases, given the news.

"In testing their defenses, they would have discovered there is no apparent defense.

"Testing their response time would have yielded the realization that there has been no response at all, forget about time." . . .

Flying Drones Over NJ;  I will not be the one to criticize the Army if tomorrow they set up anti-aircraft batteries in New Jersey.   . . ."Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew does not share Biden’s extreme calm, and he made it clear on Twitter: “Iran’s militarized drone carrier vanished from port between Nov. 12 and Nov. 28, right around when the drones started appearing. It’s our responsibility to at least investigate any potential connection to what is happening in New Jersey. We need answers." . . .

Biden: Commutations For Murderers, Persecutions For Normal Americans

The American Spectator  "We cannot get rid of this disgusting failure of a president, and the faceless unelected handlers who silently run the country in his name, fast enough."  

"But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted."

. . ."His “conscience” stops short of doing the most flagrantly unpopular things, though. That’s how rigid his “conscience” is.

"Where are the commutations for the Jan. 6 protesters, Joe? Contra your pals in the legacy corporate propaganda press, none of them killed anybody. Even the handful of them who were “violent offenders” on that day would have been out of jail by now in a sane country. Nobody spends four years in jail for hitting a cop apparently — not unless you followed an FBI informant into the Capitol.

"Where are the commutations for the little old ladies who sang and prayed outside of abortion clinics? Should they not also get clemency from this “man of conscience”?

"Is Biden going to commute any sentences of the dozens of people likely wrongly convicted whose cases are well known?

"Will he halt enforcement proceedings by runaway federal agencies like the SEC against ordinary Americans?

"Or is it just the murderers and rapists that he thinks he can get away with showing mercy to because they aren’t famous?

"We cannot get rid of this disgusting failure of a president, and the faceless unelected handlers who silently run the country in his name, fast enough.

"Merry Christmas to our readers. May Jan. 20 come soon." 

“Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to (foul) things up.”   

"The New York Times article goes through several paragraphs telling us how opposed Mr Biden is to capital punishment, but all that I see is a man who is opposed to capital punishment as long as it’s not a politically difficult case."

‘Tis the Season of Political Pardons    "Joe Biden just gave his son his Christmas present – a 10-year “get out of jail free” card. But apparently, he’s still caught up in spirit of giving. Politico reports that Joe is considering a raft of pardons for a rogue’s gallery of federal miscreants. It seems our “nobody is above the law” chief executive realizes that those who have undermined our Constitution in service to the Democrat party may need a bit of legal protection from the incoming Trump administration.

"The list of pardon candidates includes such “public servants” as:

• Anthony Fauci, who funded the research that likely created a lethal pandemic, and then lied about the science to cancel our civil liberties in an election year.
• Adam Schiff, who would go into anaphylactic shock if he ever told the truth. He shared confidential information and complete lies with the press to trigger a special counsel investigation – which drove the country into conflict for three years, and found nothing.
• Liz Cheney – who placed her hatred above patriotism and her oath of office. She used her position on the January 6 committee to hide exculpatory evidence and build an anti-Trump narrative that was used to criminally prosecute supporters of MAGA.
• A list of DoJ lawfare practitioners too long to list. They have used their positions as sworn defenders of the Constitution to undermine the civil rights of concerned parents, pro-life protesters, limited government advocates, and political opponents.

"A move by Joe Biden to pardon such bad actors would be highly destructive to the rule of law in general, and the political fortunes of the Democrat party in particular. Not that the latter troubles me." . . .

Proof that the Biden DOJ is not only corrupt but is pure evil   . . ." Biden is a thug who has largely pardoned thugs. Will the country ever recover from the damage done by the Biden administration?  Only time will tell.  Will our fully-Marxist left ever realize how much they have undermined every principle on which America was founded?  They will continue to try to block every aspect of Trump’s agenda they can out of spite.  Our left are a nasty bunch, a cabal of angry bullies.  Biden’s mass pardons, clemencies, and commutations will forever be a blot on his already horrendous legacy.  For more information on who has received pardons, see the links below.   “Meet the Monsters” released by Joe;" . . .More here...

It Turns Out That Purple-Haired Lady Screaming About 'President Elon Musk' Is a Powerful Dem in the House

 RedState

. . ."The circulating social media posts caught the eye of Kim Kavin, co-founder of Fight For Freelancers. Last year, Kavin testified before the House Subcommittee for Workforce Protections to oppose proposed federal regulations that could misclassify and harm millions of independent contractors. Kavin points to DeLauro's role in introducing the Worker Flexibility and Small Business Protection Act in 2020, which adversely impacts freelance and independent contracting workers under the same criteria used in California's disastrous law, AB5.

"On social media, she wrote of DeLauro:

Some of the lawmakers hollering the loudest right now about federal workers not getting paid if the government shuts down are the same people who have been trying for years to destroy the income and careers of legitimate independent contractors nationwide. Rosa DeLauro proudly tried to take California's horrific failure of a freelance-busting law nationwide.

"DeLauro's long tenure in Congress is another example of the need for term limits for elected officials. Serving more than three decades, the purple-streaked, jazz-hands DeLauro has accumulated significant power for her progressive causes in her decades-long climb of influence. DeLauro may seem like just another fiery Democrat on the surface, but she's one of the most entrenched figures in Congress." . . .

No Daniel Pennys: Migrant sets woman on fire in New York subway as cops bumble and Gov. Hochul touts making subway 'safer'

Monica Showalter  

"hakeemjeffries, this happened in your district. You and your fellow Leftists paved the way for such behavior by excusing people like Jordan Neely while condemning heroes like Daniel Penny. Sickening."

"In a grotesque confluence of all the horrid doings in wokester New York City, a Guatemalan migrant brazenly set a woman on fire in broad daylight in the New York subway just to watch her burn, and no Daniel Pennys came forward to stop the barbaric crime.

"According to the New York Post:

. . ."It's hard to believe anyone could do this to another human being, setting her on fire, just because.

But the individual who is accused of doing it, is reportedly an illegal border surger from Guatemala, probably let into the country under Joe Biden's catch and release, as a gotaway, or through some kind of skeevy migrant parole program as an "asylum seeker." He may have had his case dismissed as so many millions have." . . .

. . ."It was a stark reminder that the subways are worse than ever, with unvetted illegals still roaming the city and the population now cowed from stepping in and stopping monsters.

"New Yorkers voted for this, but not all of them. Incidents like this should galvanize the impetus for change to come -- or there will be more of it."

Drunk, Insane Illegal Alien Sets Woman On Fire in NYC Subway, Burning Her to Death  . . ."Officials said the 33-year-old suspect came to the US in 2018 from Guatemala. He was detained by border patrol agents in Arizona in June of that year, sources said. His legal status wasn’t immediately clear Sunday night.

"He received a transit summons in May 2023, but his criminal record in New York City was largely clean otherwise, sources said. He was living at a shelter on Randall’s Island at the time of the infraction.

"Horrifying video obtained by The Post showed the suspect calmly looking on as flames consumed the still-unidentified woman, who stood inside the open subway car door." . . .

How Barack Obama Built an Omnipotent Thought-Machine, and How It Was Destroyed

Tablet Magazine   

"As for Barack Obama, I will admit that I wasn’t sure I’d ever see him face the consequences of his own arrogance, obsession with personal power, and efforts at vanquishing the exceptionalism that makes this country different from every other one."

. . ."Parallel to the collapse of the new regional order that Obama decreed for the Middle East has been the collapse of the Obama-led domestic order at home. The coincidence marks the end of Obama’s pretensions to be a new kind of world leader, running a new world order of his own making from his iPhone, grounded in his own strange combination of nihilism and virtue-mongering.

"In fact, it can be argued that there is no coincidence here at all, since the division between Obama’s program abroad and his role at home is largely artificial. At its core, Obama’s Iran deal was an attempt to remake the Democratic Party in his own image, by establishing fealty to the ayatollahs as a litmus test for the party faithful—thereby elevating third-worldist “progressive” POC elements within the party at the expense of Jews, who undermined the premises of DEI ideology by doing well on standardized tests and making money and who were annoyingly loyal to Bill and Hillary Clinton, Obama’s rivals for control of the party. Conversely, the recent disintegration of Obama’s world-building project in Middle East has helped to further collapse his mystique, by showing that his grand vision for America’s role in the world was founded on sand. If Obama the global strategist is clearly a failure, and his hand-picked successors at home were a senile old man and a babbling idiot, then the country’s corporate elite and tech oligarchy might rightly question the wisdom of continued payoffs to Obama’s Chicago-style Democratic machine and make peace with Donald Trump instead. Which they did.

"The same warning still stands, though. Just as America was unlikely to become a better place by letting White House aides manufacture “public opinion” through their laptops and iPhones, and license fact-free virtue campaigns on nearly every subject under the sun, from the wisdom of “gender-affirming” surgeries for children to defunding the police, it is also unlikely to become a better place if the right uses the same machinery to advance its own wishful imaginings, by costuming themselves in the robes of foreign churches while trumpeting the wonders of secret alien space technology and bemoaning the evils of the Allied side in World War II. In fact, the two groups share a great deal in common with each other, starting with their visceral dislike for the idea of American uniqueness. Exceptionalism is the master narrative of American greatness, and today its only true defender seems to be Donald Trump." . . .

Whatever it is, Trump and Musk Demolish the Obama Hallucinatory Permission Structure

Obama promotes the term 'permission structure'

Biden commutes death sentences of child killers and mass murderers 2 days before Christmas

"Despite the spree of controversial actions, Biden has outraged cannabis activists by thus far failing to honor his 2019 campaign pledge to release “everyone” in prison for marijuana. Instead, just before the 2022 midterm elections, he announced a mass pardon for people convicted of simple pot possession — of whom none were in prison, drawing outrage from prisoners who called it a “slap in the face.”"

 

NY Post   "President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of 37 of the 40 men on federal death row — a list that includes at least five child killers and several mass murderers — while leaving off three notorious fiends.

"In the stunning act of clemency just two days before Christmas, Biden, 82, gave the reprieve to some of the nation’s most violent murderers — nine of whom were found too dangerous to live after butchering fellow inmates — as part of his effort at “ensuring a fair and effective justice system,” the White House said." . . .

“ 'Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss,” Biden said in a statement.

“ 'But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”

"Biden, who opposes the death penalty, lowered each of the 37 sentences to life in prison without parole. He did not say why specifically he considered the original penalties unjust.

"Among those receiving the holiday cheer is Thomas Sanders, who in 2010 kidnapped and then shot 12-year-old Lexis Roberts four times and cut her throat in Louisiana — days after the girl watched as Sanders murdered her mother on a road trip near the Grand Canyon." . . .

Lexis Roberts was killed by Thomas Steven Sanders
 on Sept. 8, 2010.

Scranton Finally Turning on Biden as Officials Demand Removal of His Name from Landmark

The Western Journal 

  "It is indeed rather difficult to see why Biden deserves to have any highways named in his honor. This cash-for-kids scheme was clearly the last straw for at least some in Scranton." . . .

"President Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions.

"But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love.

"The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan.

"That now-disgraced official was convicted after taking kickbacks in exchange for sending juveniles to jail for committing minor crimes, or committing no crime whatsoever, according to PAHomepage.

"Pugh said the fact that Biden pardoned Conahan was a disgrace that merits renaming the “President Joe Biden Expressway,” originally named for the commander-in-chief by the Scranton City Council in 2021.

“Conahan’s conduct is forever a blight on Pennsylvania and is a slap in the face to the victims and their families who deserve justice to be served for his atrocious crimes,” Pugh wrote, per PAHomepage.

“His clemency places complicity and a stamp of approval on his behavior,” she continued. “Children are among the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians. This decision is nothing short of a travesty and his clemency is a miscarriage of justice.”

"Pugh is far from the only Pennsylvania official to express concern over the presidential pardon.

"Even Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro cringed at the pardon of the corrupt official." ...

Putin: Joe Biden Is Corrupt, Unpresidential… and Less Honorable than Stalin!

. . ."In 1943, Stalin’s son, Yakov, was a prisoner in a German concentration camp. The Nazis offered to return him — in exchange for German Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus. Stalin refused: “I will not exchange a field marshal for a soldier.” Yakov Stalin died in a German concentration camp." . . .

PJ Media   . . ."“He is a politician,” Putin said of Biden. “And it is always important what is more in you — a politician or a human being. It turned out that Biden is more of a human being. I would not condemn him for this.”

"He’s not saying that as a complement! He’s saying that Biden is corrupt!

"Because, as the article explained, Putin went on to cite history (of course he did; he’s Russian), and pointed out that Joseph Stalin once had to make an eerily similar decision.

"In 1943, Stalin’s son, Yakov, was a prisoner in a German concentration camp. The Nazis offered to return him — in exchange for German Field Marshal Friedrich Paulus.

"Stalin refused: “I will not exchange a field marshal for a soldier.”

"Yakov Stalin died in a German concentration camp.

“Things were different then,” Putin emphasized. 

"When Putin said that Biden is “more of a human being,” he was telling the world that Biden put his “human” responsibilities ahead of his presidential obligations. And because of it, he’s more corrupt and less honorable that Joseph freaking Stalin.

. . ."Suppose Democrats are worried about unelected officials and private citizens directing policy.
