This specific  Blog was triggered by viewing the  coverage of the Trump Guilty Verdict on MSNBC and THE VIEW.   There is a notable line from the film classic, CITIZEN KANE:  "If it was anybody else, I'd say what's going to happen to you would be a lesson to you. Only you're going to need more than one lesson"   It is now quite obvious the Liberal Elite and their acolytes will need more than one lesson to teach them about the current Frantz Fanon state of American society, specifically the current Republican Party.   In August 2015,  this Blogger  published:  Ruminations on the 2016 Campaign: Trump.    The following is excerpted from that Blog: “One of the guilty pleasures ….is watching  the Liberal commentators, commentariat, literati, pundits, cognoscenti and gossips  try to, unsuccessfully, comprehend the Trump phenomenon.     …..’Whether Liberals like it or n...

  This Blogger is not an attorney; but he has been on five criminal case juries, weighing innocence or guilt. Earlier today, a New York jury convicted President Trump of 34 out of the 34 charges against him. And America thought a perfect score was impossible. This Blogger has been stupefied that a local city of  New York District Attorney, elected by a Democratic political machine, felt empowered to bring a case against the former President of the Republic,   for violating a FEDERAL LAW, eight years ago. Dumb layman that this Blogger is; he thought there was a statute of limitations on every crime, save murder. And he thought Federal prosecutors filed charges against  an American citizen, if they thought the citizen had violated FEDERAL law. Oh wait, federal prosecutors had evaluated President Trump’s alleged  violation  and had declined to prosecute.  Alas for President Trump, the New York City's District Attorney’s office are avid viewers of MSN...

  All Civil Wars are fierce and feral; but in their own way clean and pure, for Civil Wars are not fought over land nor money nor trade routes but VALUES. Consequently Civil Wars are Biblical, Shakespearean and Homeric in nature. And fascinating. The American Civil War is one of the most fascinating wars ever fought, trivia alone makes it fascinating. The first bit of trivia which intrigues one is that the Union Calvary Reserve in the Seven Days Campaign was commanded by Brig. Gen. Philip Cooke,  who was Jeb Stuart's father- in- law. Stuart was the legendary Confederate Cavalry commander.  Confederate General Jeb Stuart, had been so incensed that his father- in- law stayed with the Union, that he renamed his and his wife's, Flora, months'-old son, Philip St. George Cooke Stuart, after himself, James Ewell Brown Stuart Jr.  People took Civil War very seriously in those days. Jeb was mortally wounded in 1864. The Yankee father in law died in 1895, at the age ...

   The bloodiest day in American History was the Battle of Antietam, near a small town in Maryland, Sharpsburg, on September 17, 1862. It was a horrific, stinking battle, highlighted by lunacy and incompetence on the Union side. It was like one of those World War I battles, in which all the fine young men , the best and the brightest, were force fed into the meat grinder of war, coming out on the other side, carnage. It was a battle in which the Gods intervened, allowing the Union a chance to not only win the battle  but the war. A chance muffed by the hesitation of the Union Commander, George B. McClellan. It was a battle in which Lee, greatly disadvantaged by this intervention of the Gods, showed his brilliance, and merit. It was the Battle which triggered the Emancipation Proclamation. At the beginning of the Battle, the Union Army, one of the finest armies in history, the Army of The Potomac, under McClellan had 80,000 troops; the Confederate Army, one of the fin...

     The War of 1812, t he cause of the War was simple, the British Navy was blockading Napoleonic France and needed sailors to man their Fleet, English speaking sailors preferably, so the Brits would stop American merchant ships and summarily impressed(drafted) American civilian sailors into the Navy. The War involved American invasions of Canada, naval engagements on Lake Champlain, naval engagements on the high seas(in which the American Navy did VERY WELL), and fierce frontier engagements between British armed Native Americans and American frontiersmen. It ended on an inconclusive note. The American Uniforms were snazzy, and the Star Spangled Banner was written. The United States has produced nine great Generals: Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, William Tecumseh Sherman, Matthew Ridgway, George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, and Dwight Eisenhower( Readers, name another General in history that could have landed an army in the face of withering Nazi fire and gained a beach...
