NATO ‘Ally’ Germany Won’t Back U.S. in Gulf to Avoid War with Iran

who's daughter is she?

The U.S. has requested naval cooperation from Germany in the Strait of Hormuz as tensions with Iran escalate, but the political leaders of the European nation have refused to assist their NATO allies.

The German Federal Foreign Office said that Washington has approached them to contribute to a new surveillance mission in the Persian Gulf but had rejected the appeal saying there was no prospect of a contribution, German tabloid Bild reports.

Germany’s allies, including the U.S. and the UK, have been attacked in the Persian Gulf by Iran in

91% of Democrats See Political Violence Coming. What That May Mean for You

The Washington Examiner reports that the vast majority of Democrats expect to see politically-motivated violence resulting from the current political war of words. In fact, 91% of Democrats believe this, compared to “only” 61% of Republicans.

Liberal utopia of Baltimore: Rat and rodent-infested, demorat-run city

Posted on July 29, 2019 by DCG 

By now you’ve heard about the big uproar over President Trump tweeting the truth about demorat-run Baltimore: It’s been infested with rats and rodents for A LONG TIME.

See the following videos:

Yet apparently speaking the truth is now raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacist. 

Instead of addressing Baltimore’s many, many problems, the liberals choose to attack the messenger and his supporters. Because you know, OrangeManBad.

Keep it up libtards. At this rate, y’all will go completely bonkers in November 2020.

Dingle's Fungie becomes oldest dolphin in history to maintain human contact

IrishCentral Staff  @IrishCentral Jul 29, 2019

A Dingle tourist favorite, the playful bottlenose dolphin has broken a historic record as the longest living solitary dolphin in world history

Fungie is officially the longest living solitary dolphin on the planet, according to a new marine study.

Fungie the dolphin, who has resided off the coast of Dingle, in County Kerry, for over 35 years is now middle-aged. The celebrity dolphin is a massive draw for tourist in the region as the friendly dolphin seems to relish putting on a show for visiting boats in the bay.

Stay And Fight, Here’s Why… A Bishop Speaks To A Suffering Church

By DEACON MIKE MANNO, JD

So, what do you do about the scandals in the Church? Well, for most subscribers to this publication the answer is pretty clear: Church is home and we don’t intent to be run out of it. We may not like what has transpired, and while we have some qualms about some of the people running things, we believe in the institution.

That’s fine as far as it goes. But how do you convince you children, family members, and friends who are verging on leaving to find another church (or worse, who are ready to join the chorus of the “nones,” those who subscribe to no faith) to stay.

It’s easy to sit back and complain, or to point fingers at this bishop, or that cardinal, and it’s even hip to point to the Pope. Throw in the Vatican Bank scandal, freemasonry, and the Sankt Gallen Mafia and — voila! — a real conspiracy whose evil members must be rooted out.
That might work for many of us, but what about those who might be a little fainthearted, or those who, post-scandal, aren’t sure what is right and what is not? For those, as well as the rest of us already determined to see this thing through, Bishop Robert Barron — I’m tempted to put the word “celebrity” before his name — auxiliary for the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, has written a nifty little book entitled, Letter to a Suffering Church: A Bishop Speaks on the Sexual Abuse Crisis.

At 105 pages, this book, in five short essay-length chapters, is an easy, quick read designed

HOW A 6’9 BUSINESS GIANT MADE IT FROM BASKETBALL TO CEO OF FAIR OAKS FARMS – OUR COMPANY OF THE YEAR

by Kenneth Meeks

Michael L. Thompson, president and CEO of Fair Oaks Farms

As CEO of Fair Oaks Farms, Michael L. Thompson, barely remembers the game that taught him one of his most valuable lessons in business and life. At 6 feet 9 inches, and 200 pounds, he was a forward for Cornell University’s basketball team during his senior year—No. 22. The life-shaping event occurred during the 1976-77 season when Cornell was in a fierce battle against Princeton University, the No. 1 team in the Ivy League Conference. Playing on their home court, Cornell was down by a single point. Cheers filled the arena as a teammate passed Thompson the ball.

With less than a minute left on the clock, he was well aware that making the basket would mean a Cornell victory. He takes the shot. Thompson had visualized the ball going in the hoop. In reality, it

Liberal utopia of San Francisco: Car break-ins double at Golden Gate parking lot

Posted on July 25, 2019 by DCG 

Feces, needles, drugs, rats and car break-ins! Aren’t you in a hurry to plan your next vacation to San Francisco?

Even if this article claims that break-ins have declined, it must just be for this year. My blog post from last September told a difference story: “San Francisco had more than 30,000 car break-ins reported last year. The number of break-ins has tripled since 2010.”

From SF Gate: Signs that urge, “PREVENT AUTO THEFT – TAKE YOUR VALUABLES WITH YOU,” are posted throughout the parking lot at the Golden Gate Bridge. But despite the warning signs, car break-ins are on the rise at the iconic San Francisco tourist attraction, which brings in more than 10 million visitors per year.

As first reported by KGO, there has been a spike in auto burglaries at the bridge’s parking areas. Seventy-one incidents were reported in just the past seven months — more than double last year’s total of 38, according to Golden Gate Bridge law enforcement.

Burglars tend to target vehicles with visible personal belongings, like suitcases, purses, backpacks, and other possessions of potential value. Tourists who come to visit the Golden Gate Bridge are especially easy targets.

This uptick in auto burglaries at Golden Gate parking lots contrasts with a city-wide decline in car break-ins, as reported by The Chronicle. Even so, this downward trend translates to 1,932 vehicle break-ins across San Francisco in the month of June alone.

Often, the auto burglars get away with the crime, too. The Chronicle found that only 2% of car break-in cases result in arrest.

U.S. Must Turn to Russia to Contain China

Vladimir Putin stands accused in the media and global public opinion of rigging his recent reelection, imprisoning his political enemies, murdering Russian spies turned double-agent, meddling in Western elections, seizing Crimea, destabilizing Ukraine, supporting a murderous dictator in Syria and exporting arms to terrorist nations like Iran.

At the same time, the country of Russia is more than Mr. Putin, despite his authoritarian and heavy-handed methods. Russia is the world’s 12th-largest economy, with a GDP in excess of $1.5 trillion, larger than many developed economies such as Australia (No. 13), Spain (No. 14) and the Netherlands (No. 18).

Its export sector produces a positive balance of trade for Russia. Russia has not had a trade deficit in over 20 years. Russia’s oil output has dropped to a three year-low after concerns about contaminated oil, but it’s still one of the world’s top three oil producers, along with Saudi Arabia and the United States.

Russia has the largest landmass of any country in the world and a population of 146.8 million people, the ninth largest of any country. Russia is also the third-largest gold-producing nation in the world

“I requested that the situation surrounding the issuing of the parking ticket be investigated because I believe this ticket was issued as a result of racial bias and discrimination,” Arroyo said.

The “accusation” that he did seek to get the ticket tossed out, which was leveled against him in the report released last week by Inspector General Patrick Blanchard, now makes Arroyo and other commissioners concerned about Blanchard’s “fitness for this position,” Arroyo said in a statement

Iran has returned the favor and there is nothing England can do about it.

the english are bullies

A few weeks ago, the British Royal Navy seized an Iranian tanker as it passed by Gibraltar. The reason for the seizure was unclear and legally questionable. The English people instantly let out chants of bravo, as such events are few and far between. Yesterday, Iran grabbed an English tanker in this war of tit for tat, and now the English are uttering silly threats of vengeance. 

Putting the righteous of each country's claims aside, in traditional English fashion, they started this one. England has always looked for what they perceived as easy targets and then attacked. It makes them feel good. The North American Indians, India, Egypt, South Africa, Rhodesia, Palestine, Argentina and of course Ireland have all experienced the English style of psychotherapy. The current spat with Iran will be different. The English can't do anything about Iran as Trump is wisely determined to keep the US out of a war (for now). Enjoy.

Rep. Ilhan Omar vows to be 'nightmare' for Trump

By Alan Fram and Darlene Superville - Associated Press - Thursday, July 18, 2019

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday chided his supporters who chanted “send her back” when he questioned the loyalty of a Somali-born congresswoman, joining widespread criticism of the campaign crowd’s cry after Republicans warned about political blowback from the angry scene.
In a week that has corkscrewed daily with hostile exchanges over race and love of country , Trump also claimed he had tried to stop the chant at a reelection event Wednesday night in North Carolina — though video shows otherwise. The crowd’s “send her back” shouts resounded for 13 seconds as Trump made no attempt to interrupt them. He paused in his speech and surveyed the scene, taking in the uproar.

“I started speaking really quickly,” he told reporters Thursday. “I was not happy with it. I disagree with it” and “would certainly try” to stop any similar chant at a future rally.
The taunt’s target— Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — responded defiantly Thursday. She told reporters at the Capitol that she believes the president is a “fascist” and cast the confrontation as a fight over “what this country truly should be.”

“We are going to continue to be a nightmare to this president because his policies are a nightmare to us. We are not deterred. We are not frightened,” she told a cheering crowd that greeted her like a local hero at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as she returned from Washington.

50 years after Chappaquiddick, media still protecting Ted Kennedy

Posted on July 19, 2019 by DCG | 7 Comments

On July 18, 1969, a drunk Ted Kennedy drove off the Chappaquiddick bridge leaving Mary Jo Kopechne in the car to drown. He was able to escape and waited ten hours to report the incident , leaving Mary Jo trapped in the car.

Ted Kennedy pleaded guilty to a charge of leaving the scene of an accident causing personal injury and later received a two-month suspended jail sentence.

At the time, the media worked hard to protect Ted Kennedy. They are still at it today. Witness some of the recent headlines:

State Rep LaShawn Ford (always been a nice guy) has changed his position on gun rights!

After Shooting, Chicago Democrat Advocates Residents Get Guns and Carry Permits

July 17, 2019

AP Photo

LaShawn Ford has served as an Illinois State Representative since 2007.  Like his fellow Chicago Democrat General Assembly members, he has been a fairly consistent vote against gun rights since, well, forever.

But he recently appeared on radio station WLS-AM encouraging residents to arm themselves and get their carry licenses.

What caused Rep. Ford’s sudden, very public change when it comes to guns? Could it be the “come to Jesus” moment this past weekend outside his home that left one man dead?  Or was it the fact that his car was riddled with gunfire during the incident?

Regardless of the reason Ford has changed his way of thinking, we welcome it. His constituents deserve the proven personal defense benefits of firearms ownership and concealed carry.

WLS-AM has the story of what happened outside Ford’s home:

After another violent weekend that saw eight people killed and at least 32 others wounded, one lawmaker is taking action by encouraging his constituents to arm themselves.

Bullets from a shooting that left a 22-year-old dead in the Austin Neighborhood on the West Side Sunday also found State Rep. La Shawn Ford’s (D-Chicago) car. …

“I think about it all the time,” Ford said of the shootings that plague his community. “That’s why I’m working with a concealed carry instructor and we’re going to go through the neighborhood and we’re going to encourage people to get their concealed carry license because it makes no sense for people not to have the protections that they need.”

You’re absolutely right, Rep. Ford. We’ve been saying the same thing since the beginning of time.

Better late than never for you to notice the proven benefits of firearm ownership for good guys and gals. We’re glad to have you on our side.
