"THESE are the times that try men's souls."

"The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated." 

Thomas Paine 
December 23, 1776

It's never been easy. It's not SUPPOSED to be easy. I won't be leaving this country, and I will stay and fight these bastards in any way that I can. This fight has been going on for centuries, and we are all called to it. It's up to you how you wish to respond.

Reality Winner, Accused National Security Agency Leaker, To Change Her Not Guilty Plea

Source: Huffington Post

Reality Winner, the former government contractor who allegedly leaked a classified document that proved Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, has reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors that will resolve her pending Espionage Act charge, though the details of the plea deal are unclear.


Federal court records show that Winner, who previously pleaded not guilty and has remained locked up ahead of her trial, is scheduled to appear at a change of plea hearing on Tuesday, a clear sign she’s reached a plea deal with Justice Department prosecutors.


Winner, 26, was a federal contractor with Pluribus International Corp. in Augusta, Georgia, when she was arrested last June on charges of violating the Espionage Act by “removing classified material from a government facility and mailing it to a news outlet,” a criminal complaint said at the time.


She is charged with one federal count of willful retention and transmission of national defense information and faces up to 10 years in prison. Her attorneys were not immediately available for comment.

The children are his hostages.

For his crazy freaking Wall.

And the children's treatment will get worse and worse, and the outrages will pile up higher and higher, until the Democrats relent and they finally give him the damn thing to make him stop.

And THEN what do you think he's going to do next?

In remembrance of D-Day...

The attack on the casino at Ouistreham from the movie The Longest Day (1962). An incredible battle scene.

Then may I suggest Harvest Gold or Avocado.

Has a retro '70s look that everyone is into these days.
