“A Republic, if you can keep it”

The Constitutional Republic system of government that made this country the world leader in a relatively short period of time…is boned.

The socialist barbarians are no longer at the gates, they’ve breached them. They’ve already began the revamping of American society into a genderless, agnostic, proletariat that will be ruled by what was once our “elected leaders” and their various minions, toadies, and flying monkeys. Unless you have been a willing thrall you will be considered a peon whose only purpose is to serve what will now be referred to as our “elected rulers”. Only if you kowtow their societal rules will you be allowed to participate, as it were, in their “workers’ paradise”.

As a Conservative/Republican (a true Republican, not a RINO) that has worked their whole life, sacrificing, attempting to give others a hand up, not a hand out, you are going to see all that go down the drain along with everything our ancestors worked, fought, and died for to make The United States of America great.

When you see the U.S. Congress begin to adopt the asinine concept of genderless language into its official business, when you see a supposed Methodist minister glorifying other deities, putting them on an equal level with God, and then closing his prayer with “Amen and A woman” you are witnessing the first step towards destroying religious freedom. You have to wonder if he was ordained by sending off a dozen box tops.

Everything we have accomplished under President Trump in 4 years is about to come crashing down and will happen in a fraction of the time it took to get done. Our foreign policy will revert to the weak laughing stock we were under Dear Leader. On the domestic front bureaucrats and anarchists will drive policy.

The next 2 years for Conservatives/Republicans are going to seem like the 40 years the Israelites spent wandering the desert. The main difference is we don’t have a Moses figure to led us, at least right now. And that’s assuming that we can ever have free and fair elections in this country again. But we cannot just rollover and give up. We have to stand strong, learn from the errors and, if necessary, fight to maintain our rights as given to us under the ultimate laws of our land, the Founding Documents.

How was this allowed to happen? How did the socialist barbarians manage to breech the gates? The answer is they didn’t. They didn’t break down the gates, they were let in. Let in by “elected leaders” who, even though they were obvious in what they wanted to do, were allowed to not only remain in power but then used the stooges that put them there to firmly entrench themselves and begin the slow insidious process of undermining our American values. The pandemic was the trigger event they had been waiting for and when it happen they exploited it to the fullest. What better way of destroying our system of electing our leaders then to be able to stuff the ballot boxes both literally and figuratively? And once you’ve done that, successfully it would appear, you have created the scenario that has played out in Georgia, that being people, Republicans/Conservatives deciding it was not worth going to the polls because “system is rigged, so why bother?”

Apathy…that is what has brought us to this point. A slow creeping apathy among Americans. The dumbing down is working. Most Americans would probably have trouble passing the test given for American citizenship.

Again, we are going to have a long, hard 2 year fight to hold back the socialist tide threatening to engulf our country. And when that 2 year time is up we must not just man the ramparts, but charge forth and take the fight  to them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

IT’S OVER!!!!

That period of time to be forever known in my house as 2020-The Year From Hell is over!

I want to thank everyone who has opted to follow my blog and given their opinions and input. It’s comforting to know there are others out there that share my feelings and views. I hope I’ve been able to provide you with news, information, and some amusement over the time, and I look forward to doing it over the course of the New Year.

Again, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy and Prosperous New Year!

Go Galt and Save the Republic

What the Hell???

Consider the following

Based on population, here is the money “per person” OUR Congress gave to citizens of other countries:

Israel $56,321

Sudan $16,746

Egypt $13,209

Ukraine $10,791

Cambodia $5262

Nepal $4638

Burma $2513

USA $600

Additionally, they gave a boatload of money to Pakistan, the same country that harbored Osama Bin Laden, the same country that is releasing the people that executed journalist Daniel Pearl by cutting off his head while broadcasting it on the internet.

These same politicians, D and R, along with their sycophants and toadies, are still getting a paycheck, would rather play power games, are wringing their hands and crying about how if they give legal AMERICAN citizens $2000 it will destroy the budget and create a huge deficit. Whining they don’t have the money.

Do they honestly think people can’t figure out that if you don’t give OUR money away to foreign countries there would be enough to help legal AMERICAN citizens? If so, they are blatantly laughing in our face. Yet the sheeple of this country sit in front of their screens and whine to each other about it rather than trying to organize and confront these bottom feeding parasites and their flying monkeys.

What can we do? How’s  this for a starting point…

“…That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”

I can hear them now, “there see, he wants to overthrow the government!” He’s a dangerous radical, misogynist, racist!” (I added the ‘its stuff because I know it’s coming even though it has nothing to do with the matter at hand) And those of you who buy those meadow muffins, look at the Founding Documents of this country.

You want a real example of just how pathetic the local and federal government is about providing assistance, look at the private, I emphasize the word private, organization Barstool, who has collected donations from private citizens and companies, and used them to help small businesses stay afloat.

To quote the great President Ronald Reagan “The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

Go Galt

Seasons Greetings and a Note of Thanks

To each and every one of those that follow my rants and ramblings I want to say Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukah, as the case may be. to you, your household and your families. I also want to wish each of you a Happy and Prosperous New Year and I look forward to entertaining you with even more outrageous writings.

The events of 2020 may have us bent, but as Americans we are not and never will be broken.

MAY THE LORD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL SAFE.

Where’s the Outrage?

Where is the outrage over this incredibly obvious financial fraud being perpetrated on the American people? Why are there no protesters outside the local office of every Representative and Senator who signed on to this extortion of American taxpayers?

We are supposed to be overwhelmingly grateful, we are supposed to be genuflecting to these self-styled Lords and Ladies who see themselves as our saviors, we are supposed to be singing hosanna on the highest to these clowns, these crooks, these parasites, and their various sycophants and minions, all of whom have never missed a very generous paycheck during this crisis, something that can’t be said for those of us that are forced at gunpoint, at the threat of imprisonment, to give up OUR money to pay those salaries! We are supposed to be all that and more over a $600 check while they spend billions…billions on CRAP that has no relation to the Covid crisis, billions being sent overseas for MORE CRAP that has no bearing on the suffering of the average American! OUR money that should be going to help AMERICANS that are hurting! It’s like the scene from Oliver Twist where he walks up with his bowl extended and a begging look on his face as he says “Please sire, may I have some more?” and the man stares arrogantly stares down his nose at him and bellows “More!?”

And they don’t care that it’s THEIR imperial edicts that have put American citizens in a position of losing everything they have worked for. They don’t care because they have theirs, continue to get theirs and with this bill have ensured it won’t stop anytime soon.

I want to make it quite clear that this applies to both the Republican and the (National Socialist) Democrat Party. There are a few brave exceptions on both sides that will be vilified by the mainstream liars and propagandists who will try to make people believe those patriots don’t care about Americans because they spoke out against this travesty.

And there is one more group that needs to be called out…the sheeple that are sitting on their butts, wringing their hands, and whining about this and the election crisis. This happens because of you. This happens because YOU won’t pick up a pitchfork or a torch and make what should be your outrage known.

Remember THEY work for YOU!

Basis For a Race War?

Consider this headline…

“REVEALED: Every single US state is being advised to consider ethnic minorities as critical groups for vaccination with HALF prioritizing black and Hispanic residents over white.”

“California, Louisiana, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Indiana are among those who have listed equity as a ‘key principle for vaccine distribution’”

Can these spineless, gutless, instigators of racial strife and violence do anymore to create further racial strife? They aren’t just pouring gasoline on the fire; they’re pumping out tankers through fire hoses. They are giving the white supremacists and neo-Nazi skinhead groups more ammunition in the form of propaganda by playing on peoples fears and concerns about the health of themselves and their families. You want to get people whipped up into a level of frenzy that would motivate them into (in my opinion) justifiable violence, tell them you’re using race instead of common sense and science to decide if their loved ones get a lifesaving treatment.

The powers that be have been screaming “we must follow the science!!!” as their excuse to destroy thousands of small businesses and the lives of their owners and workers. So why aren’t we going to “follow the science” when it comes to a major step towards combating this pandemic? Oh, that’s right, it’s not “socially acceptable”, it’s not “racially balanced”.

I want Grand Duke Cooper to go on TV and radio across North Carolina and tell his subjects “I’m sorry, there’s not enough vaccine to go around to save Grandma and Grandpa but we can be socially/racially sensitive.” If there are not HUGH crowds outside the Governor’s Castle, preferably with pitchforks and torches, day and night then I guess that is a sign that THEY have won.

Anybody that feels the same as I do will be automatically labeled a heartless racist and I know I’ll be the first. I DON”WT CARE! The term ‘racist’ has been thrown about so much and used in attempts to destroy so many people that it has become near toothless. When I’ve been accused of it I will jump back, but I won’t change my stance.

I believe we’re going to see an even bigger rise in racially motivated violence and positions only because people have been backed into a dangerous corner where it’s literally life or death for them and their loved ones based on race, not science.

We now see how far these people will go. With the Helen Keller thing we see how low they are willing to go. Both show just how dangerous these people are.

I am betting that the BLM Mafia is involved in this somehow. This is just the kind of thing that they want to be able to push things over the edge and start the race war they have been angling for. Nothing will motivate people more than a real threat to the safety and health of their loved ones.

The worst part of all this is the only ones that win are the radical leftist, socialist/Communist race pimps in the BLM Mafia and their ilk, along with the Antifa mobsters and those pulling the levers in the (National Socialist) Democrat Party.

We must hope that logical minds prevail, but while we hope we need to prepare. A part of that preparation must be identifying who the enemy REALLY is and focus on them and not just strike out randomly, blindly. That would only make a bad situation worse.

To the German Commander…NUTS!

Everyone who reads my blog knows I’m a retired paratrooper, and damn proud of it. I am also one of those that can proudly claim the honor of having jumped with both the 82nd Airborne Division AND the 101st Airborne Division, so I have a strong loyalty to both.

December 22nd 1944 is a celebrated day in 101st history. Surrounded in the town of Bastogne by German forces during the worst winter on record, with little winter gear, and low on supplies, they were offered the opportunity to surrender by the Germans. This is the story of the famous one word reply and an example of what REAL Americans will do when faced with what some would call impossible odds.

On December 22, 1944, at about 11:30 in the morning, a group of four German soldiers, waving two white flags, approached the American lines using the Arlon Road from the direction of Remoifosse, south of Bastogne. The group consisted of two officers and two enlisted men. The senior officer was a Major Wagner of the 47th Panzer Corps. The junior officer, Lt. Hellmuth Henke of the Panzer Lehr Operations Section, was carrying a briefcase under his arm. The two enlisted men had been selected from the 901st Panzer Grenadier Regiment.

The Americans defending in that location were members of F Company of the 327th Glider Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division. The Germans walked past a bazooka team in a foxhole in front of the Kessler farm and stopped in front of the foxhole of PFC Leo Palma, a B.A.R. gunner. Palma described the officers as wearing long overcoats and shiny black boots. Lieutenant Henke, who spoke English said, “I want to see the commanding officer of this section.” Palma was at a loss for words, but Staff Sergeant Carl E. Dickinson who had been manning a position nearby walked out to the road and called the group over to him. The Germans explained that they had a written message to be presented to the American Commander in Bastogne.

Henke said they would consent to being blindfolded and taken to the American Commanding Officer. In fact, they had brought blindfolds with them. Henke blindfolded Wagner and Dickinson blindfolded Henke. As the blindfolds were being applied, Dickinson was joined by PFC Ernest Premetz, a German-speaking medic of his platoon who offered to serve as an interpreter. However no interpreter was needed.

Dickinson and Premetz left the two German enlisted men there and took the two German officers to the Kessler farmhouse. Tech. Sgt. Oswald Y. Butler, Acting Platoon Leader of the 1st Platoon, and Lt. Leslie E. Smith, Platoon Leader of the Weapons Platoon, told them to take the blindfolded officers to the F Company Command Post. They took the two German officers on a roundabout route to the Command Post of F Company, 327th GIR, which was a large foxhole located in a wooded area about a quarter mile away. Shortly after arriving at the command post, they were joined by Capt. James F. Adams, the F Company Commander, who had been at a forward observation post when he was notified of the arrival of the Germans.

When Adams arrived, 1st Sgt. Constantine A. Pappas informed him that the German major had already presented a written message. The F Company Executive Officer, Lt. William J. Herzke, was on the phone, reading the message to their Battalion Command Post in Marvie. The 2nd Battalion Command Post then notified the 327th Regimental Headquarters in Bastogne. Col. Bud Harper, the 327th Regimental Commander, was not there; he was out inspecting his unit’s positions. The senior officer present was the Regimental Operations Officer, Major Alvin Jones. Maj. Jones notified the Division Headquarters in Bastogne and asked for instructions. He was told to retrieve the message and bring it to the Division Headquarters. He drove to the F Company Command Post and was given the message. The two blindfolded officers were kept in the woods adjacent to the foxhole Command Post.

Upon receiving Maj. Jones’ phone call at Division Headquarters, the Acting Chief of Staff, Lt. Col. Ned Moore entered Brig. Gen. Anthony C. McAuliffe’s sleeping quarters adjacent to the communications center. Moore wakened McAulliffe and told him, “The Germans have sent some people forward to take our surrender.” Moore recalled that Brig. Gen. McAuliffe, still half asleep, said “Nuts!” and started to climb out of his sleeping bag.

Moore then went back out into the Communications Center where he briefed the rest of the Division staff of the on-going situation, including telling them of McAulliffe’s remark of “Nuts!”

When Maj. Jones arrived with the message, the staff looked at it before taking it in to McAulliffe.

The German surrender demand was typewritten on two sheets. One was in English, the other in German. They had been typed on an English typewriter as indicated by the fact that the diacritical marks required on the German copy had been entered by hand.

This is the English version of the message:

“December 22nd 1944

To the U.S.A. Commander of the encircled town of Bastogne.

The fortune of war is changing. This time the U.S.A.

forces in and near Bastogne have been encircled by strong

German armored units. More German armored units have crossed

the river Ourthe near Ortheuville, have taken Marche and

reached St. Hubert by passing through Hompre-Sibret-Tillet.

Libramont is in German hands.

There is only one possibility to save the encircled

U.S.A troops from total annihilation: that is the honorable

surrender of the encircled town. In order to think it over

a term of two hours will be granted beginning with the

presentation of this note.

If this proposal should be rejected one German

Artillery Corps and six heavy A. A. Battalions are ready

to annihilate the U.S.A. troops in and near Bastogne. The

order for firing will be given immediately after this two

hours’ term.

All the serious civilian losses caused by this

artillery fire would not correspond with the wellknown

American humanity.

The German Commander.”

The Division Operations Officer, Lt. Col. Harry Kinnard recalled that McAulliffe initially asked, “They want to surrender?” Moore told him, “No sir, they want us to surrender.” McAulliffe arose and erupted in anger, which shocked those looking on. He took the paper, looked at it, said “Us surrender, aw nuts!” and dropped it on the floor. Maj. Jones was dismissed. McAulliffe then left the Headquarters to go congratulate a unit on the Western perimeter that had successfully taken out a German road block earlier that morning.

When Jones left the Headquarters, he went back to the F Company Command Post and spoke with the two German officers. When he returned to his Regimental Headquarters, he phoned the division headquarters.

Upon returning to the division headquarters, McAulliffe was informed that Jones had phoned to say that the two German officers were still waiting at the F Company Command Post. Since they brought a formal demand they felt they were entitled to a formal reply and they were to return to the German lines two hours after delivering their message.

McAulliffe asked that Col. Harper be summoned to the Division Headquarters. Harper, who was still inspecting his units’ positions, was contacted by radio.

When Harper arrived at the Headquarters, he was asked to wait outside of the closed door to McAulliffe’s quarters. Inside, in the presence of his staff, McAulliffe wondered aloud, “Well, I don’t know what to tell them.” At that point, Kinnard said, “What you said initially would be hard to beat.” McAulliffe asked “What do you mean?” Kinnard, said, “Sir, you said nuts.” All members of the staff enthusiastically agreed, so McAulliffe wrote it down on a message pad and said, “Have it typed up.”

The reply was typed up, centered on a full sheet of paper. It read:

“December 22, 1944

To the German Commander,

N U T S !

The American Commander”

McAulliffe dismissed the staff and asked that Harper come in. McAulliffe initially toyed with him by having him stand in front of Higgins and himself. McAulliffe showed him the surrender demand and asked if he had already seen it. Harper said no. McAulliffe asked him to read it and suggest how it should be answered. Harper was surprised by the request and quickly tried to draft a reply in his head. At that moment, a clerk-typist entered the room and handed McAulliffe a sheet of paper. He looked at it and then showed Harper the typed “NUTS” reply, asking him if he thought that was a proper reply. Harper read it and started laughing. McAulliffe asked Harper to personally deliver the reply to the Germans, cautioning him not to go into the German lines.

Harper took the reply and drove to the F Company Command Post. Harper told Henke that he had the American Commander’s reply. Henke asked if it was written or verbal. Harper answered it was written and he put it in the hand of the blindfolded German Major. Henke asked about the contents of the reply because if it was affirmative, they were authorized to negotiate further. Harper said, “The reply consists of a single word, NUTS!” Henke, not understanding, asked, “Is that reply negative or affirmative?” Harper said, “The reply is decidedly not affirmative”, adding, “If you continue this foolish attack, your losses will be tremendous.” Henke translated for the Major. The Major nodded.

The two blindfolded German officers were then driven, again by a roundabout route, back to their entry point at the Kessler farm. At the farm, the group was rejoined by PFC Premetz. The blindfolds were removed and the Germans opened and looked at the reply. They asked, “What does this mean?” They obviously didn’t understand the American slang. Harper and Premetz discussed how to explain it. Harper suggested, “Tell them to take a flying s**t!” Premetz thought about it, then straightened up, faced the Germans and said, “Du kannst zum Teufel gehen.” He told Harper it meant “You can go to Hell.” Then Harper said, “If you continue to attack, we will kill every goddamn German that tries to break into this city.” Henke replied, “We will kill many Americans. This is war.” Harper then said, “On your way Bud, and good luck to you.” After Henke translated, the major acknowledged. They saluted and the Germans started to walk away. Harper angrily called out to them, “If you don’t know what I am talking about, simply go back to your commanding officer and tell him to just plain, ‘Go to Hell’.” After Henke translated, the major got angry and stormed off. As he passed Palma’s position, he threw his blindfold and Palma caught it. Palma wrote that he didn’t realize the historical importance of that blindfold. He later used it to clean his B.A.R. and threw it away!

The German party returned to their lines. Capt. Adams recorded the time as 1400 hours.

While watching the Germans leaving, Harper began to regret losing his temper, fearing that his attitude may increase the intensity of the attack on his positions. Fortunately, the threatened artillery barrage never happened. Instead, the German Luftwaffe was added to the attack, bombing the town at night.

According to a narrative written by Hellmuth Henke, when the German officers returned to their vehicle, while they were putting their pistol belts back on, Maj. Wagner removed his pistol from his trouser pocket and placed it in its holster, stating that he wasn’t going to get caught without protection.

The two German officers then drove to the 901st Panzer Grenadier Regimental headquarters in Lutrebois. After reporting in, they left to go to the Panzer Lehr Division headquarters located about a mile further south. Just before reaching the Panzer Lehr Headquarters, they saw the car of General von Manteuffel parked by a thicket of trees. Maj. Wagner stopped and reported to the General. They then proceeded to the Panzer Lehr headquarters. General von Luettwitz, the Corps Commander, happened to be there. They presented the “NUTS” reply. Upon hearing the negative reply, General Bayerlein, said it was time to start striking out with the heavy artillery located behind the hill. He was interrupted by General von Luettwitz who stated that the heavy artillery was no longer located there, it had been moved to forward positions past Bastogne. Bayerlein then started to explain how he would attack Bastogne without the heavy artillery, but was again interrupted by von Luettwitz. Von Luettwitz reminded Bayerlein that Bastogne was not his objective and ordered the Panzer Lehr Division to proceed around Bastogne to Rochefort and leave Bastogne to the 26th Volksgrenadier Division.

Editors Note:

This story retraces the events of December 22nd, 1944 at Bastogne, Belgium; the day we received German surrender ultimatum and issued the subsequent “Nuts!” reply.

Its author, Kenneth J. McAuliffe, Jr., is the nephew of Brig. Gen. Anthony ‘Tony’ McAuliffe who commanded the Division during the defense of Bastogne. This has been verified to be100% accurate.

Say what you will, but I see this as an analogy to what is going on involving our election crisis. I see the (National Socialist) Democrats as the German forces and Conservatives/Republicans as the 101st Airborne Division.

We as Conservatives/Republicans, TRUE Conservatives/Republicans, need to stand our ground and be prepared to do WHATEVER is necessary to protect the integrity of our election system. The system that gives WE THE PEOPLE the power to select OUR government, select OUR representatives and leaders. If we give in now 244 years of blood and treasure that is the sacrifice made by ancestors will be simple wiped away. The Great Experiment will come to an end with failure being the final result.
