Antifa animals followed the woman home

Cornered her against the door of her house, yelled obscenities and flashed lasers into her eyes.

Confronted by a mob of 15-20 people, she would have been within her God-given right of self-defense had she shot a few of her attackers. Except, she did not have a gun, and if she did, she did not use it.

People, if you do not have a gun, buy one. Take lessons from professionals. Be prepared to defend yourself and your family.

Those people think it is funny to blind people using lasers.

Those people want us dead.

I have laughed at myself in the mirror, but …

“I’m so high I just looked in the mirror and we both laughed.”

Appeasing the Nazis, then Commie Russia, now Red China

Hollywood history is “Don’t make the dictators mad.” Or, maybe, “We agree with them, so they get to pass judgment on our product.”

“A new report has found that the Chinese government’s influence on Hollywood is posing a serious threat to free expression.

“The 94-page study, from the literary and human rights group Pen America, details the many ways that studios and film-makers continue to change ‘cast, plot, dialogue and settings’ in an ‘effort to avoid antagonizing Chinese officials’ in films including Iron Man 3, World War Z and the upcoming Top Gun: Maverick.”

The 2012 version of Red Dawn originally had the Peoples Liberation Army as bad guys, but the Chinese Communist Party had a hissy fit. Film executives decided North Koreans would make better, and quieter, bad guys, so Norks replaced Red Chinese.

Gun Free Zone says: “Hollywood knows on what side its bread is buttered in terms of numbers of ticket sales so would rather make movies that the CCP approves of than make movies that Americans really want to see.”

“First the Nazis, then the Soviets, now it is the Chinese that are turning America’s movies into generic shit.”

Low ceiling

Also in summer 1967.

Cloud cover was about 100 feet, white and thick when Regimental operations called and said a South Vietnamese unit was in heavy contact. The American advisor asked for immediate gunship support, and Air Cav Troop had the nearest gunships. The operations officer gave coordinates of the ARVN unit and frequency and call signs of the U.S. advisor.

I hit the switch for the five-minute alert team siren and at the same time checked the coordinates. The location was completely out of Blackhorse AO and well off the map board. And, with a 100-foot ceiling, pilots were not likely to even think about flying, not unless one of our elements needed gun support and that decision would be iffy. But, that was not my call to make. I was a 21-year-old sergeant, assistant flight operations NCO, and that day, both officers and the flight ops NCO were somewhere else.

Within two minutes, turbines were whining and MAJ Schorr, Third Gunship Platoon Leader, called and asked what we had. I gave him the information. After less than a minute, he called back and said, “Our maps don’t go that far, and we can’t fly in this weather. We’re shutting down.” I gave a “Roger,” and said I would contact Regimental operations.

The gunships could have taken off in that ceiling, but we did not know how thick the clouds were nor how far they spread nor what the weather was en route to or over the target. And there was no guarantee the gunships could have landed when coming back.

Weather is a big determinant on what happens in war.

Speaking of rain

Flying door gunner on a Huey gunship south of Blackhorse base camp in summer 1967, I noticed a small rain storm several miles ahead. I had sleeves rolled up on my jungle fatigues, and was otherwise protected by a flak vest and crew helmet. The face shield was up, because the plastic face shields often became scarred and pitted from takeoffs and landings in dust and small stones and were difficult to see through.

The fire team flew through the rain storm. Let me tell you, rain hurts when you and it impact at 100-knots airspeed.

Thunderstorm

In Arkansas thunderstorms, one light flicker, two flickers, no problem, lights will stay on. Three flicks, you will be in the dark until the problem is fixed.

In Florida, one flick, power is gone, usually for a second or so, but long enough TV boxes have to go through self-examination and reset, and you will see the message: “Your TV will be with you in a few minutes.”

We are in a pretty good thunderstorm right now, rain, close lightning and good rumbles of thunder.

I like thunderstorms. Always have. As a kid, storms never scared me.

Biden platform anti-Israel, pro-Iran

2020 plan brings back Obama strategy of making friends with America’s enemies.

By Carol S. Greenwald

The Jewish Voice

Democrats’ crowing that their 2020 platform on Israel is a victory for the moderates is disingenuous. The Democrat party’s 2020 platform is not pro-Israel. It is pro-Iran.

The Democrat party’s platform promises to return to the Iran nuclear deal and rejects regime change “as the goal of U.S. policy toward Iran.” The opening statement of the platform stresses:

“Democrats will call off the Trump Administration’s race to war with Iran and prioritize nuclear diplomacy, de-escalation and regional dialogue. Democrats believe the United States should not impose regime change on other countries and reject that as the goal of U.S policy towards Iran.”

Translation: Obama’s appeasement of Iran’s nuclear and regional ambitions is back.

A nuclear Iran is an existential threat to Israel. The Obama/Biden administration handed $150 billion to the Iranian mullahs, which financed both Iran’s nuclear program and its financing of global terrorism. This money propped up a regime that had been facing strong internal opposition. Biden’s campaign promise to return to the Iran nuclear deal on Day One is memorialized in the Democrats’ platform. They will undo President Trump’s stringent sanctions which are destroying the economic base of the Iranian regime. This one action alone undermines all the Democrats’ assurances about support for a “strong, secure, democratic Israel.”

A nuclear Iran by definition makes Israel insecure.

The platform does not guarantee that Israel will remain a Jewish state. The language in the platform before 2012 made clear that there was no Palestinian right of return to Israel. Removing the explicit language that Palestinians have a right to resettle is creating another existential threat to Israel.

The Democrats’ platform promises to oppose any effort “to unfairly single out and delegitimize Israel.” Who is going to define “unfairly?” According to Democrats, BDS is not unfairly singling out Israel; it is protected free speech.

The Democrat platform’s opposition to settlement expansion will lead to the same endless criticism of Israel that marked the Obama/Biden administration. What is settlement expansion? Is it adding bathrooms to existing structures, as Obama/ Biden insisted? Memorably, Biden threw a temper tantrum when Israeli authorities had the temerity to announce an advance in a stage towards building permits for homes in a Jerusalem neighborhood while Biden was in town. With that outburst, Biden has signaled just how shaky his pledge is to keep Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. The platform never reveals its definition of Jerusalem’s boundaries.

And while the document affirms Biden’s statements that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and that he would not move the embassy back to Tel Aviv, Biden has also said that he would open a consulate in eastern Jerusalem for the Arab Palestinians. So are the Democrats creating a new entity of East Jerusalem? So much for the denunciation in the Democrats’ platform of unilateral steps, which apparently only refer to ones taken by Israel.

The Democrats’ party platform, with its firm opposition to Israel extending sovereignty to Jewish communities, also leaves the Palestinian Authority with no incentive to negotiate with Israel. No, with this platform, everything reverts back to the PA simply waiting for the inevitable appeasement by a Democrat administration and pressuring of Israel to make still more concessions just to bring the PA “back to the table.”

While the Democrats’ platform does not tie U.S. military aid to Israel renouncing its sovereignty in areas beyond the 1949 Armistice Lines, Senator Van Hollen (D-MD) led an effort joined by 19 Democrat senators to block U.S. military aid if Israel uses it to “annex territory.” Well, that sure sounds like the Democrats are gearing up to tie military aid to controlling Israel’s internal decisions.

The Democrats’ 2020 platform is a return to the Obama policy of appeasement to Iran’s nuclear ambitions and to Iran’s plans for regional hegemony. According to former Israeli Ambassador to the U.S., Michael Oren, “The Biden/Obama administration deliberately damaged the relationship between the United States and Israel.”

So the Democrats’ claim that the 2020 Platform reveals that the Progressive wing of the Democratic party was shut down was greatly exaggerated. (AmericanThinker.com)
