B.T., I have watched the first two installments of Ken Burn's Vietnam War documentary, and your detail oriented first hand account of this FUBAR period of American /World history segues beautifully with the knowledge that I am gaining courtesy of Burns / B.T.

Thanks again.

On a side note, the Deep State existed in the early 50s, as it does know against Mr. Trump.

If the Deep State of the OSS /CIA had been a bit more transparent with President Truman, there may not have been a Vietnam War. I fully appreciate the CIA for the great work they do to keep us safe, but, I also cringe everytime I hear some Liberal /Socialist expouse how they are beyond reproach, and there is no Deep State in today's America.

When Socialists start aligning with the Deep State, we should all be very watchful; or, an Orwellian future lays not to far in the distance.

It is ridiculous that the so few people understand this problem as imminent as it is.

Core Democrats had no idea that Russia hacks cyber systems on a constant basis until L. Hillary blew this election. The federal government is responsible for these issues as per the Constitution. This is their job, and they have done nearly nothing to help.

Nice poem of a difficult day, the impetus for a more difficult decade, with decades difficult as time yet unfolds.

Bobby Tony, Thanks for this return of the memoriams of our fallen balladeers.

I am not knowledgeable of Don Williams, but now, I am a bit closer to who he was and how much pleasure he brought others. Thank-you.

I should do a memoriam on Walter Becker of Steely Dan, but to date too much to do.

Beautiful anecdote.

Have you ever noticed that when Liberals use the word anecdotal, its meaning is just the opposite, as if what you said was a vagary?

I've always been a good Conservative more than a Republican; therefore, I see the vast problems within the Republican party. Governing is a conundrum, and sometimes one must think outside the box. Rightly or wrongly, Trump sees things in an unconventional light.

I still dig that ... even if I do no agree with his methods or its outcome.

Great Post Bobby Tony.

We now live in a world that Snowflakes and Snowflake coddlers cannot understand.

When Trump is the Russia problem, then those Liberals /Socialists do not understand Russia, the World, or the history of the United States.

I think the far Left radicals and anarchists are not so concerned about accuracy; just how loud they can be.

I just noticed the President standing beside this really hot chick in a Texas ball cap, and then upon closer inspection, I noticed it was our First Lady - Melania.

And, I thought to myself, no wonder Feminists and FemiNazis in the Democrat Media despise her so much. Then I fathomed, maybe, just maybe, they would like her better if she had cankles.

Well, the not-so-hot-chick-with-cankles did not get elected, so, it might be a good time just to get over it.

"Mad Men" can be addictive, so be careful.

Also, be aware of this: You and I grew up in that relative time period, and even though much of their social commentary is satirical in allegorical representation, some of it seemed very real to me, and kind of weirded me out a bit, especially the way they treated women.

I love the music from our era, but, those were strange times too. The best of it was very good, and the worst of it was very bad.

This just sent to my BCN email:

"Well, exactly as your Sheriff Clarke Draft Committee has been predicting, Sheriff Clarke notified Governor Walker that he was resigning his position as the Sheriff of Milwaukee County, effective at midnight, yesterday morning.

The courageous black conservative Sheriff has been tight lipped about his future plans, but those of you who have been paying attention to our draft efforts will not see his resignation as a surprise.


His resignation will at long last free him to prepare for a U.S. Senate campaign in earnest — something he was unwilling to do while still taking taxpayer dollars to serve Milwaukee County.

That means it’s showtime, folks!"

Sheriff Clarke is running to represent Wisconsin in the U.S. Senate. The man would shake things up considerably, and, I hope he wins.

"Mad Men" is a "pseudo-realistic version" of everything from that era to the point of occasionally strong satire.

Extremely well written, well acted and well paced. I think you would like it.

It is nice to watch show where few people die, fewer still bleed, and while the language can get a bit salty, the story is not built on that vernacular.

Plenty of sex, and even more a plenty of political incorrectness; a lot of that.

I love this post. Thanks Alex.

It tears at the evil core of the Fundamentalist Islamic Terrorists, or, as American Liberals /Socialists like to refer to as "Freedom Fighters".

You hit the mark my Good man.

I get it B.T.

The more we try to remove ourselves from the roving eye of Big Brother, the more the internet invites Big Brother into our lives through the likes of Google Facebook and all the wannabees. I sincerely think there is a backlash coming, and am finally proud of myself for the resisting of all the tracking of cookies, etc. crap that I have so far resisted here on BCN.

I will be writing more about the Facebook /rating everything /gang-force pressure/ Big Brother overbearance. It is finally realing itself for what it really is: beaufortcountynow.com

Thanks Ted, and I am most thankful that we have you, readers, who care about the Republic enough to try to explain it. I think at some point, I should join in.

I'm in with that B.T.: Boycott Jack Daniels.

A few short years ago, I slowed down on my drinking to almost a trickle of that former stream, so it should be should be easy for me; however, if I do need a drink, I have more than a Fifth of "Jack" in my closet to imbibe, so all will not be lost or forgotten.

On the pure face of what you are saying Gene, I agree with you.

While the Democrat party is desperate condition right now, so is the Republican party. I have no allegiance to either.

I only have an allegiance to what is principled and what is true.

They did finally arrest her, but, Durham is one of the most Liberal counties not only in North Carolina, but in the whole of the South. I'm surprised they arrested anyone.
