Rest in peace, Sergeant

Job well done.

I’m asking You God, to give me what You have left.
Give me those things which others never ask of You.
I don’t ask You for rest, or tranquility.
Not that of the spirit, the body, or the mind.
I don’t ask You for wealth, or success, or even health.
All those things are asked of You so much Lord,
that you can’t have any left to give.
Give me instead Lord what You have left.
Give me what others don’t want.
I want uncertainty and doubt.
I want torment and battle.
And I ask that You give them to me now and forever Lord,
so I can be sure to always have them,
because I won’t always have the strength to ask again.
But give me also the courage, the energy,
and the spirit to face them.
I ask You these things Lord,
because I can’t ask them of myself

Just a Reminder this 4th of July Even in the darkest days of Jim Crow, the vast majority of black Americans loved America. Still do.

I was recently told that before the Civil War Americans spoke of the United States in the plural, “the United States are”, then after the Civil War, it became mentioned in the singular, “the United States is…” I was also told that what changed was Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Give that some thought.

David French expects there to be some sort of mutual tolerance, and that it would be real tolerance. But the left adheres to the Marcusean redefinition of tolerance, as a one-way process that accepts every moral judgment or act that comes from a leftist and rudely, violently rejects every moral judgment or act from anyone not of the left. Their tolerance is not tolerance. Without people using the same words with the same definitions, there can never be comity. That’s the point of the story of the Tower of Babel! Harsh words that offend David French and other anti-Trumpers must be spoken. Legal means must be exercised. Politics must lead to winning, and winning must lead to making changes through legislation and policy, even against grand guignol level protests. It’s going to be nasty. It’s going to be unpleasant. But traditionalists did not choose this “war.” It was thrust on us. And we must not give up the civilization that made the greatest strides in the history of humankind towards establishing harmony and peace among humans.

The EU stands astride Europe, the second, more successful German attempt to install a thousand year reich in the last hundred years. At the moment of German triumph over the continent, Germany’s subject colonies suddenly awaken to the fact of their stealth conquest by a hostile foreign power and begin to break away. Each awakening to the virtues of self-rule should inspire us with hope.

Flashback 2011: 13 Mexican nationals illegally in the USA, all dressed in USMC uniforms emblazoned with the name “Perez”, were arrested in California, riding in a white van equipped with a stolen military tag. Two American citizens drove the van to smuggle the border crossers deep into California. Do you remember hearing about this? I sure don’t.

h/t: Ray Kasey “Subject: 319 Square Miles” In their infinite wisdom, the United States’ Founders created the Electoral College to ensure the STATES were fairly represented. Why should one or two densely populated areas speak for the whole of the nation? The following list of statistics has been making the rounds on the Internet. It should finally put an end to the argument as to why the Electoral College makes sense. Do share this. It needs to be widely known and understood. There are 3,141 counties in the United States. Trump won 3,084 of them. Clinton won 57. There are 62 counties in New York State. Trump won 46 of them. Clinton won 16 . Clinton won the NY popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties; Trump won Richmond) Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country. These

Whether you love the New England Patriots or hate them it’s amusing how every one of the NFL League’s rule changes meant to handicap the Pats has been used by the Pats to win more games against their hapless competition. The Pats dominate the league simply by being the better team.

Atta boy, Dean Cain!
So an Australian senator got an egg bashed on the back of his head by a young punk, in the wake of statements made regarding the murderer who killed all the people at the two mosques. Apparently the senator’s words were taken as Islamophobic. The Senator turned around and popped the kid twice, and had to be pulled off of him before just completely kicking his butt. All the usual suspects (the Left, the American media) lionized the kid and piled on the Senator.
Dean Cain, however, tweeted “I would have knocked that kid cold”.
The twitter mob came for him, because, ya know, defending the Nazi and all that other crap, and here’s where he shined. He punched back, didn’t back down, and didn’t cave to the mob.
Atta boy, Superman!
