Japan asked permission to Vichy's France to take over Indochina. Permission was granted. Japan didn't fire a single shot to take over that country today's Vietnam.

Trump said to the press. Puerto Rico is an island surrounded by water

big water. then, what an island is?

While Japan was invading its neighbors U.S. was selling all the oil, steel

all raw material to Japan

the Delano's family like Franklin Delano Roosevelt

made their millions during the opium trade with China.

I mean Delano grandpa was the one.

The real tragedy, ongoing, long time, is how this latest carnage displays, in bas relief, the severe shortcomings of our legislative system/process. Sure, the NRA is unparalleled in lobbying clout. But it actually is open to better vetting of who can acquire firearms under our precious second amendment. In fact, if you could coral NRA folks and anti gun people in a room where they could hammer out a reasonable plan to keep weapons out of the hands of persons who never should have them, and perhaps even tighten access to clearly military arms, it could produce results. But when these issues enter the dysfunctional political process, nothing gets done. Our legislatures have lower approval ratings than even used car salesmen and lawyers---the latter of which make up much of legislator ranks. Prayers for victims and families. Aa..

Stop living a fantasy. Stop pretending nothing is wrong out there.

Stop believing Governments are our saviors

Stop at once. This is the world the ones before left for us.

In 1904 Teddy Roosevelt told Japan you can take Korea you're superior race

In the 1930s Franklin Roosevelt told Americans, Chinese are Christians they are Americans.

You see?

and British queen Victoria just 24 ordered the bombardment of China to keep the opium.

Is a happy world

Twitter: Employee shut down Trump's account On Thursday night around 7 p.m. ET, the unthinkable happened: The Tweeter-in-Chief disappeared from his beloved platform.
President Trump's verified @realDonaldTrump account briefly went offline. Anyone who navigated to his feed was given a generic blue landing page that read, "Sorry, that page doesn't exist!"
And in a stunning plot twist, the world later learned it wasn't a glitch -- but the work of a Twitter employee on his or her last day at work.
Initially, one of the social media site's verified accounts said Trump's feed was "inadvertently deactivated due to a human error." But a couple of hours later, Twitter announced further investigation revealed "a Twitter customer support employee ... did this on the employee's last day."
Trump tweeted Friday morning, "I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact."Donald J. Trump ?@realDonaldTrump
My Twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. I guess the word must finally be getting out-and having an impact.

Founder Confesses George Soros Wanted Antifa More Dangerous Than ISIS 4th Nov On The Way

Since the beginning of the latest "crisis" in Mugabeland, I have been following all the news on it and for the last 3 nights have been hard to get any sleep as so many memories keep flooding back after the light goes out; all the firefights; all the ambushes, all the near misses; all the things that went wrong and then terribly wrong especially by the use of little experienced young Rhodesians as non coms that got us lost or blundered into lethal situations by not following normal precautions such as having scouts out on flanks; to sudden evacuations of a village due to her activities all around; scenes constantly switching places as from our firebase at Mt. Darwin to suddenly the swamps inside Botswana or the Caprivy Strip; whole villages turning into blazing infernos and filled with bodies everywhere....I am amazed at so much suddenly coming back and so jumbled. Near our old firebase at Mt. Darwin, there was a small village area I recall as Bukumbura Several of from Europe used to make jokes about it and in one kaleidoscope of rather bizarre images, it had a sign as similar to the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign....totally wrong and Plumtree, the proper border crossing point into Botswana, was huge swamp march filled with hippos that we had to wade through on one of our "lost patrols" thanks to a totally incompetent Rhodesian born kid in his early 20's. (he was later sent again to repeat his corporal's course...for a third time). So many weird, strange and bizarre panoramas of memories and yet some didn't change as when 4 of us were dining in a restaurant in Salisbury famous for its exotic painting of the Pink Panther in a negligee reclining on a sofa( ) a couple of terrs threw some molotov cocktails through the window, interrupting our usual shish kabobs...we all hit the floor and then we took the Pink Panther painting down and carried it to the kitchen to keep it safe...Police and some bystanders nailed the terrs. That was out favourite place to eat when on leave...ahh well. I find it amazing that the news from old Rhodesia still affects some of us. Our Vietnam vet carried a lot of strange dreams from his time there and just before he left Rhodesia, he started having dreams also all mixed up...I was relatively fine after about 2 years from when I left...or so I thought until a few nights ago. I guess there is no expiry date on those types of dreams/ nightmares... So many of us had put our heart and souls into the dream of Rhodesia...
