Holocaust remembrance

DEDICATION

We never knew how just was our cause until we entered the rotten interior of Germany and beheld for the first time the unbelievable results of Nazi greed and cruelty – the shallow, quick lime graves – the feeble thanks and tears of joy of the emaciated walking dead – the slave laborers, who were former free men in Europe – miserable wretches whose plight might well have been the lot of our own loved ones had we not succeeded.

May this history, then, be dedicated to those who died inconspicuously, but not in vain, that freedom might live.

—From the Combat History of the 137th US Infantry Regiment (Kansas National Guard), 35 US Infantry Division, which fought
from Normandy to the Elbe with the 1st, 3rd and 9th US Armies

Can’t stop thinking about the train

Posted on March 6, 2019 | 2 comments

Bar and I agree, we can’t stop thinking about our train trip and want to do it again this year. In October, probably, when it’s cooled off a little in West Texas, which is the route we’ll take.

South to San Antonio and thence to El Paso. At that point, it’s a toss-up. Back to Trinidad or continue west to her birthplace of Phoenix? We’ll see.

Go Bernie!

Posted on March 5, 2019 | Comments Off on Go Bernie!

Alone, among the ambitious Dim contenders (who will say anything to get the nom) Bernie is legit: a longtime Socialist and Commie lover. Honeymooned in Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Not Moscow, Idaho.

“America will get to compare and contrast and Trump has already made it clear that he intends to run against socialism. The election will be about the big issues for once. Good-bye, uni-party.”

Lying liar lies

Posted on March 2, 2019 | 3 comments

Mr. Cohen, the president’s one-time “personal attorney,” came to Congress at the behest of Dims wanting to further flagellate Trump, and lied again. Liars never learn.

The Jussie Lesson

Posted on February 28, 2019 | Comments Off on The Jussie Lesson

“The worst possible place to fake a hate crime is in an African-American city. Black cops don’t suffer from white guilt and have very little patience for fake racist hate crimes. Chicago’s top law enforcement officials are African-American. That’s one reason Smollett is getting the book thrown at him.”
