  1. This week in June, many years ago, was momentous in the fight against Germany and Japan. A moment to think about their sacrifices.
    Remember MIDWAY Remember NORMANDY

  2. Absolutely right on that.

    Meanwhile the 21st-century DPOTUS celebrates with a network of slush funds so vast and far-reaching that they expected—and continue to expect (and hope)—that no one would possibly be able to unravel it.
    (They are no doubt correct about that—at least, as correct as they’ve been, so far, about their dire, and ability, to defenestrate DJT.)

    Two examples…of an astonishing number of examples, many of which haven’t yet been uncovered and which have been assiduously concealed by the usual suspects in DPOTUS and their Media accomplices:

  3. Yesterday was the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre. We all remember the Tank Man, but mostly as an iconic still photo of one brave man blocking a column of tanks.

    The more complete story is that he played cat-and-mouse with the lead tank for some time. At one point he even climbed on top of the tank to yell at the driver. Then:
    ______________________________

    Four or five other people on the side of the road rushed over, fearing for his
    life obviously, rushed him off, took him out of the other side of the road,
    and he
    disappeared out of sight and he disappeared forever…

    The most obvious thing is to think that you know he was caught and captured and killed but we’d all like to think that he melted away into the crowd and he’s he’s still out there somewhere safe.

    No one seems to know for sure what happened to the Tank Man.

    I celebrate his courage.

  4. I always love the animation from old pictures you present.

    Neo, please continue posting them.
