Mrs. O’Connell is a registered Democrat. She voted for Bill Clinton twice. But she has drifted away from the party over what she said was a move from its middle-class economic roots toward identity politics. She remembers Mr. Clinton giving a speech about the dangers of illegal immigration. Mr. Trump was lambasted for offering some of the same ideas, she said.
“The Democratic Party has changed so much that I don’t even recognize it anymore,” she said. “These people are destroying our democracy. They are scarier to me than these Islamic terrorists. I feel absolutely disgusted with them and their antics. It strengthens people’s resolve in wanting to support President Trump. It really does.”
But don’t waste your breath telling that to the Trump haters. They’ll go on smashing and rioting because their cause is just.
And 2020’s Democrat candidate will carry them like a millstone around the neck.
The Rising Sun struck on both sides of the Pacific in December 1941. Simultaneous with the attack on Pearl Harbor Japanese troops landed in force at Kota Bharu, at the northern end of the Malay Peninsula. Tokyo’s advance southward was swift and largely uninterrupted; the British and Australian forces under the command of Singapore were unprepared both physically and psychologically. Singapore was known as ‘the impregnable fortress’, but seven weeks after setting foot on Malayan soil the Japanese extracted an unconditional surrender. The island became Japanese territory; thousands of men became POWs, never to see home again.
Four days after the surrender was signed, 188 Japanese planes rained hell on Darwin. It was the largest Japanese air attack since Pearl Harbor itself.
The Japanese attacked with around 188 planes that had been launched from Japanese land bases and aircraft carriers in the Timor Sea. The Japanese fighters strafed land targets and shipping. Dive bombers attacked the ships in the harbour, the military and civilian aerodromes and the hospital. The dive bombers were escorted by fighter planes to protect them from Australian and allied planes. Eight ships were sunk and most of the others were damaged by bombs or machine gunfire.
The only air defences the allies had were ten fighter planes that engaged the Japanese planes. Only one allied fighter survived the first attack, with the Japanese suffering only one or two losses…
The second attack began an hour after the first ended. Heavy bombers attacked the Royal Australian Air Force Base at Parap and lasted about 25 minutes.
The two raids killed at least 243 Australians and allies. Almost 400 were wounded. Twenty military aircraft were destroyed, eight ships at anchor in the harbour were sunk and most civil and military facilities in Darwin were destroyed.
With Singapore gone it seemed to many Australians that Darwin was the next target for Japanese invasion. In fact it now appears that the Japanese aim was to isolate The Great South Land and block US forces from supply. However, the air raids on Broome a short time later reinforced the fear that the Rising Sun would soon fly atop Capital Hill.
The Melbourne Argus reports the raid.
Troops inspect the damage.
MV Neptuna was unloading artillery and explosives when the raiders struck. Cargo exploded as the sailors took to the boats.
They’ve skipped that one and gone straight to Donald Trump has syphilis. Well, maybe, sort of, kinda, you know he looks that way at times…
According to the symptoms listed here, so have I.
Questions were raised about Hillary’s health during the campaign, of course, but rightly so. There was something blatantly wrong with her head bobbing about and her collapse as she got into the limo. And she does seem to be keeping a low profile presently. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The Wine Cabinet sells six options from Trump Winery in Charlottesville, Va. Mackie says in the six months leading up to the November presidential election, his store sold two cases of Trump Wine.
But after Trump’s stunning White House win, sales suddenly spiked. Since Election Day, about 10 cases of the bottles, which range in price from $25 to $35, have been purchased.
“We could’ve sold more,” Mackie says. “But we ran out of all but one of the wines.”
*The story I linked to at Breitbart notes that the dressmaker, Andre Soriano is gay, from the Philippines ie an immigrant, and says that Trump is “going to do the best thing for America. Death tweets headed his way too, no doubt.
On November 8, 2016, I and my daughter were witnesses to a voter irregularity that was casually dismissed by election place volunteers. It occurred to us afterwards that it was likely not only deliberate, but what we witnessed was a demonstration to others on how easy it was to do. IOW, the perpetrator was showing to all surrounding him how the behavior was not only not checked, but that there was no danger of being prosecuted for voter fraud, and that the crime could be repeated as often as any “voter” wished…
