While most liberal pundits will tap dance all around the fact that the cross-burning, bloodily racist, black/Jew hating and hanging Ku Klux Klan was made up almost exclusively of Democrats, it’s a demonstrable truth that can’t be denied. Like most of the history of slavery and overt racism in America’s history, there seems to be a hovering, ominous presence of the Democrat party everywhere one looks. The Ku Klux Klan was the terrorist wing of the Democrats. Striking swiftly under the cover of darkness and disguise, the Klan instilled deathly fear into those the Democrats saw as either unworthy, like blacks, or as scheming, moneyed, too well informed political enemies of Jim Crow and segregation, the Jews.

Amazingly, it was the Democrat National Committee, embracing all those former enemies, the blacks and Jews, and being warmly embraced in return, who resurrected a 21st century version of the Klan when they staged an event at their convention that had no other purpose than to politically lynch Donald Trump on the testimony of one aggrieved Gold Star father, a lawyer as it turns out who is closely linked politically to both the Muslim Brotherhood, Saudi Arabian officialdom and most importantly, Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s closest personal advisor, a woman with strong links herself to the Muslim Brotherhood.
The practiced and purposeful testimony of the aggrieved Muslim father, one Kizr Kahn, was designed to ignite a burning cross on the political lawn of Donald Trump which would serve as a flaming beacon to attract frothing media nightriders, the Ku Klux Khan. With red meat denunciations fed to them by the Democrat party, they proceeded with the very public political lynching of Donald Trump. To his everlasting regret, Mr. Trump grabbed the noose and placed it around his neck with some careless, intemperate remarks about the Khan’s culture which further incensed the media mob and set them truly howling for blood. Fortunately there was sufficient backlash from the conservative media and the veteran community to retrieve Mr. Trump’s head from where he had so accommodatingly placed it.

Fortunately the DNC’s masterplan is not working with the target voting bloc, the veteran community and military personnel. While most of us are not pleased with Trump’s insensitivity, we are not so dense as to not see counselor Khan as the political plant he was and the cynical attempt by the Democrats to play on our emotions. Most comments that I’m reading from other vets like myself are expressing anger at the Dems rather than Mr. Trump. The best way to sum it up from a soldiers standpoint is that Trump is the big-mouthed, blowhard New Yorker who somehow always seems to be able to back up his bullsh*t. You don’t necessarily like the guy but you learn to respect his ability to soldier on and get the job done. So, Democrats, you may have unleashed the Ku Klux Khan, but they’re not going to lynch any of our people, not in our America.

We’re thinking there are other necks far more deserving of that rope…

Two weeks ago, Patricia Smith spoke at the Republican National Convention and laid the death of her son, Sean, in the Benghazi consulate, at the feet of Hillary Clinton.

The Democrats retaliated the following week at their convention by inviting Khizr Khan to speak to Donald Trump’s plan to blockade immigrants from the Middle East. Khan’s son, Humayun Khan, had bravely given his life in Iraq in 2004 when he caused a bomb-laden taxi to detonate before it was in a position to kill troops who were eating in the nearby dining facility.

I posted this on Facebook yesterday to illustrate how the media viewed both events;

CNN’s Josh Rogin on Gold Star mother Patricia Smith at the RNC: I feel for Pat Smith, but the RNC and Trump are using her and her son’s death for politics and that’s wrong.

CNN’s Josh Rogin on Gold Star father Khizr Khan at the DNC: But here’s the thing. Muslim-Americans, not very well represented either in Congress, in public life. They don’t organize politically for some pretty obvious reasons. Right? This is a rare opportunity to take a look at this community, and we all know that is patriotic, that does serve our country, that does die for our country.

When Republicans do it, it’s political stunt, but, when the Democrats do it, it’s a “rare opportunity”.

Our buddy, Denise Williams, herself a Gold Star mother, sends this video message to Mr. Khan (you’ll need to turn the volume way up or use earphones);

AFP reports the arrest of “Mike”, a 40-year-old Nigerian man believed to be the mastermind of a scamming enterprise that netted him $60 million;

“In one case, a target was conned into paying out $15.4 million,” Interpol said, indicating that the arrest was carried out with the support of Nigeria’s anti-graft agency the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

“The network compromised email accounts of small to medium businesses around the world including in Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, Romania, South Africa, Thailand and the United States,” it said.

The suspect ran a network of at least 40 people working from Nigeria, Malaysia and South Africa which used malware and carried out the fraud, and he also had money laundering contacts in China, Europe and the US who provided bank account details for the illicit cash flow.

From INTERPOL;

The main two types of scam run by the 40-year-old targeted businesses were payment diversion fraud – where a supplier’s email would be compromised and fake messages would then be sent to the buyer with instructions for payment to a bank account under the criminal’s control – and ‘CEO fraud’.

In CEO fraud, the email account of a high-level executive is compromised and a request for a wire transfer is sent to another employee who has been identified as responsible for handling these requests. The money is then paid into a designated bank account held by the criminal.

So, I guess won’t be getting that payout from the European Union Lottery, but, luckily, the Pope has promised me part of his Treasury if I help smuggle out some cash, so I have that going for me.
