Nazis launch Kristallnacht

History.Com(This Day in History) ^ | 11/09/2018

On this day in 1938, in an event that would foreshadow the Holocaust, German Nazis launch a campaign of terror against Jewish people and their homes and businesses in Germany and Austria. The violence, which continued through November 10 and was later dubbed “Kristallnacht,” or “Night of Broken Glass,” after the countless smashed windows of Jewish-owned establishments, left approximately 100 Jews dead, 7,500 Jewish businesses damaged and hundreds of synagogues, homes, schools and graveyards vandalized. An estimated 30,000 Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were then sent to concentration camps for several months; they were released when they promised...

Unfortunately, history is slowly repeating itself.

Unfortunately, history is slowly repeating itself.

Yes, it certainly is. People are surprised when they understand that the Nazis were socialists. The Democrats are socialists. They are even using the same tactics that were used in Germany 1930's. But they like to say that Trump is Hitler.

One big difference.....most Americans will not surrender their weapons without going down in a pile of spent, hot, still smoking brass......!

Not the ones I'm thinking of . . . but the new class of American male? I'm not so sure . . . especially the ones that model themselves after the Sheldon's on TV.

It was about ten years ago when men started carrying 'man bags' which were nothing but 'female purses.' I think we were about done back then. It's only God's mercy that we have lasted this long.

Of course, God raising up a Trump has finally given men a model they can emulate. I don't even think Ronald Reagan was as tough on commies - actually he compromised a little more than I expected.

The Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

I see the ''Man Bag'' as a natural progression from Laptop cases. Try stuffing one of those in your Jacket or Trouser pocket! School Agers have always carried books and equipment in bags. The only thing in common with Womens Hand Bags is the lack of space in whichever clothing an individual wears

55 YEARS AGO TODAY . . . (as if we need a reminder!)

John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums

John F. Kennedy: Years of Lightning, Day of Drums is a ninety-minute filmed memorial tribute to President John F. Kennedy, who had been assassinated on November 22, 1963. It was completed in 1964, and released to theatres by Embassy Pictures in 1966...

Because [the film] was produced by the United States Information Agency, it was originally prohibited by law from being screened in the United States. However, the quality of the film was considered so outstanding that a special act of Congress allowed it to be shown in regular motion picture theatres, a rare honor for USIA films...​
