Finding A Moral Voice Against A Present Evil--Trump Takes On The Jihadis
Doug Ross @ Journal: TRUMP FIRES BACK AT JIHAD: The 'Ideology of Death ...: By Joseph Klein Donald Trump delivered a major foreign policy speech Monday in Youngstown, Ohio.
QOTD: “Our system of government, and our American culture,
is the best in the world and will produce the best outcomes for all who
adopt it,” Trump declared. “We will reject bigotry and oppression in all
its forms, and seek a new future built on our common culture and values
as one American people.”
Trump is finding his voice, and has found some good speechwriters.
Here is hoping he stays on point.

Jesse Shares Comforting Words of John Henry Newman
As always, Jesse speaks cogently to a confusing time.
"God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission -- I may never know it in this life but I shall be told it in the next.
I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught.
I shall do good, I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.
Therefore I will trust Him. Whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.
He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about.
He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me -- still He knows what He is about.
We are slow to master the great truth that even now Christ is, as it were, walking among us, and by His hand, or eye, or voice, bidding us to follow Him. We do not understand that His call is a thing that takes place now. We think it took place in the Apostles' days, but we do not believe in it; we do not look for it in our own case.
Let us feel what we really are--sinners attempting great things. Let us simply obey God's will, whatever may come. He can turn all things to our eternal good. Easter day is preceded by the forty days of Lent, to show us that they only who sow in tears shall reap in joy.
The more we do, the more shall we trust in Christ; and that surely is no morose doctrine, that leads us to soothe our selfish restlessness, and forget our fears, in the vision of the Incarnate Son of God.
May the Lord support us all the day long, till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done.
Then in His mercy may He give us a safe lodging, and a holy rest, and peace at the last.”
John Henry Newman

Historic Milestones for Hillary Clinton 26 July 2016, Goal Achieved and Bodies Left In Her Wake
Well, ya'll, Miss Hillary has gone and dunnit. She shattered that Glass Ceiling, leaving a trail of ruined careers, outright lies, scandals and chaos in her wake. A typical Clinton day at the office. Folks often joke amongst themselves about ambitious types who 'leave a trail of bodies' in their wake.
However, when it comes to the Clintons, it's not a joke. There is a literal trail of bodies, over 3,000 this year alone, left in the wake of Miss Hillary's and Massah Obama's Adventures in Overthrow in Libya and Syria.
Here's the quote, in case the link goes away:
'
More than 3,000 migrants and refugees have died while trying to cross the Mediterranean this year, while nearly 250,000 have made the journey to Europe, the International Organisation for Migration has said.
The new toll was reached following the discovery of 39 bodies washed up on the coast of Libya, bringing the current number of casualties among people attempting to cross the Mediterranean to 3,034 so far in 2016, the organisation said on Tuesday.
The IOM said the 2016 death toll among refugees and migrants trying to reach Europe was "significantly higher compared to last year as of end of July 2015 when 1,917 had lost their lives at sea".
Last time OS checked, the IOM was not a part of the 'Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy' the Clintons trot out when uncomfortable torrents of facts disturb The Narrative...
Oh joy, just imagine what the world looks like when Miss Hillary is Commander in Chief. With Bill as her First Spousal Unit (so many interns, so little time...), and all the Obama hangers-on hanging on.
It's great to be Hillary. It sucks to be Libyan.

Marathon Pundit: Chiraq: 2 teens shot, 1 fatally, in drive-by 1/2 m...
Marathon Pundit: Chiraq: 2 teens shot, 1 fatally, in drive-by 1/2 m...: Obama mansion in 2008 President Obama and his family won't be returning to Chicago after his term expires for at least a year.
This latest shooting, which claimed the life of one (presumably black) teenager, and wounded another, occurred about one-half mile from the Chicago home of The Wan, the Winner Of The Nobel Peace Prize, The Community Organizer In Chief, our very own Prezzzzzident Obama.
One would think Himself would be eager to return home, to spread his classic magic of peace and love back in his own 'hood, no? After all, since draconian gun laws, like those in Chicago, ensure the safety of the streets, Himself would ergo be residing in the safest of neighborhoods.

Senator Scott Shares Personal Experiences with Law Enforcement Officers ...
This truly deserves careful viewing, and listening. Tim Scott is a staunch conservative from South Carolina, one of his generation's best and brightest. Listen to his accounts of treatment at the hands of American law enforcement, and ponder what the experience of so many must be who do not have the benefit of his education, accomplishments, and demeanor.
Yes, most cops are Good People--but...without accountability, without proper supervision, bullies can arise among them. OS has experienced it first-hand, as a middle-aged white guy dealing with small town cops, in his own small town. The words 'I OWN YOU', snarled by the cop, burned in OS's brain for some months, until the police chief was removed by the State of Tennessee when it was revealed he had hired felons for his police force--not kidding it happened. This sort of thing has happened more than once, and that phrase has been used more than once, and not just in OS's little town. Some cops love that little rush of power...and see their role as generator of revenue and fear amongst the citizenry. Do this often enough, long enough, brutally enough, brazenly enough, and be not shocked when a small town near St. Louis erupts over a shooting, even though forensics proved it justified. It was stupid law enforcement practices that opened the door for the anarchists now parading as reformers.
Tennessee also has a tradition of state police officers serving (with gun and badge) with serious criminal records in their pasts. Pretty scary stuff, and OS deliberately hung the jury in a DUI case long years ago when it became obvious the trooper was lying through his teeth, and the prosecutor was urging him on. The defendant was probably guilty, but the trooper was the most dangerous person in the room.
So--take a few minutes, and think this through with Senator Scott.
And Donald--before you pull the trigger and name Mike Pence as your VP choice....maybe look this guy over one more time?

Geert Wilders: Freedom Spring--People Want Their Country Back--Resist Islamization
There was a time when OS looked a bit askance at Mr. Wilders, thinking perhaps the gent was a bit too extreme.
OS was wrong, dead wrong.
To begin to correct course, OS urges his legions of readers to view this latest message from Mr. Wilders. It is not radical, it is sane, the essence of sanity.
Enuf is enuf is enuf is enuf.

Everyone Stay Calm, Ya'll--And Remember Why Brexit Is The Correct Path Forward
This video from Daniel Hannan, filmed at Oxford Union earlier this year, is an eloquent reminder of what faces the EU -- and the US -- in our present world. Hannan is a solid conservative (lower case 'c') as well as a Tory member of the EU Parliament. This is well worth viewing.
It's fascinating to hear him say the very same things (in his plummy Oxbridge command of English) that The Donald and (to some extent) The Bernie are saying.
Great quotes throughout, and for his command of English and logic.
The Masters of Europe, beginning with Junker and Merkel, are well and goodly enraged by the decision of the British people. They have zero interest in the opinion and wishes of folks on the ground. The Austrians came within a bare whisker of overturning the Establishment politicos, and the French and Spanish are itching to have the opportunity to vote on the question themselves.
Hannan rightly calls the EU a 'cartel', and cartels always lead to poverty and failure, and sometimes war.
So, everybody, stay calm, and stay on course. Ya'll did the right thing, UK cousins, and you will prosper as they stagnate, in every way.
