The guys who “know” are trained intelligence.
The guys who took over through the Clinton and Obama years are trained lawyers who gave no concern for our country.
Isn’t it interesting that the full moon, blue moon, super moon, and full lunar eclipse is happening tonight?
Hillary and her moon-satan-worshippers must be bit upset.
That was supposed to be her glorious moon.
After the American Civil War, highly respected veteran Captain Kirby York (John Wayne) is expected to replace the outgoing commander at Fort Apache, an isolated U.S. cavalry post. York had commanded his own regiment during the Civil War and was well-qualified to assume permanent command. To the surprise and disappointment of the company, command of the regiment was given to Lieutenant Colonel Owen Thursday (Henry Fonda). Thursday, a West Point graduate, was a general during the Civil War. Despite his Civil War combat record, Lieutenant Colonel Thursday lacks experience with the Indians he is expected to oversee, and is an incompetent, arrogant and egocentric officer.
Accompanying widower Thursday is his daughter, Philadelphia (Shirley Temple). She becomes attracted to Second Lieutenant Michael Shannon O'Rourke (John Agar), the son of Sergeant Major Michael O'Rourke (Ward Bond). The elder O'Rourke was a recipient of the Medal of Honor as a major with the Irish Brigade during the Civil War, entitling his son to enter West Point and become an officer. However, the class-conscious Thursday forbids his daughter to see someone he does not consider a gentleman.
When there is unrest among the Indians, led by Cochise (Miguel Inclan), Thursday ignores York's advice to treat the natives with honor and to remedy problems on the reservation caused by corrupt Indian agent Silas Meacham (Grant Withers). Thursday's inability to deal with Meacham effectively, due to his rigid interpretation of Army regulations stating that Meacham is an agent of the United States government and therefore entitled to Army protection (despite his own personal contempt for the man), coupled with Thursday's prejudicial and arrogant ignorance regarding the Apache drives the Indians to rebel. Eager for glory and recognition, Thursday orders his regiment into battle on Cochise's terms, a direct charge into the hills, despite York's urgent warnings that such a move would be suicidal. Thursday relieves York and orders him to stay back, replacing him with Captain Sam Collingwood (George O'Brien).
Following Thursday's orders, York spares the younger O'Rourke from battle. Thursday's entire command is nearly wiped out, but a few soldiers manage to escape back to the ridge where Captain York is positioned. Thursday himself survives but then returns to die with the last of his trapped men. Cochise spares York and the rest of the detachment because he knows York to be an honorable man.
Subsequently, now Lieutenant-Colonel Kirby York commands the regiment. Meeting with correspondents, he introduces Lt. O'Rourke, now married to Philadelphia Thursday. A reporter asks Colonel York if he has seen the famous painting depicting "Thursday's Charge." York, about to command a new and arduous campaign to bring in the Apaches, while believing that Thursday was a poor tactician who led a foolhardy and suicidal charge, says it is completely accurate and then reminds the reporters that the soldiers will never be forgotten as long as the regiment lives.
The last hash was released right before he was reportedly extracted
Police officers face many challenges in the decaying, impoverished, high-crime South Bronx region of New York City. Among these officers are NYPD officers Murphy and Corelli, who work out of the 41st precinct, nicknamed "Fort Apache" because to those who work there, it feels like an army outpost in foreign territory. The streets are filled with dangerous gangs, criminals, and drug dealers. Unemployment is very high and the neighborhood is filled with garbage and wrecked buildings. While Murphy is a hard-drinking and lonely divorced father, he has a great camaraderie with Corelli. As well, Murphy's life improves when he meets a young nurse, Isabella, and they start a romantic relationship.
The precinct is one of the worst and most dilapidated in the entire department, approaching demolition and staffed mostly by officers who are unwanted by, and have been transferred out of, other precincts. Additionally, the precinct's officers do not represent the large Puerto Rican community, as only 4% of the officers are Hispanic in the largest non-English speaking section of the Bronx. Corelli and Murphy attempt to maintain law and order by catching pimps and robbers, but they have conflicts with corrupt fellow officers, and a newly appointed police captain, Connolly.
There is rioting due to alleged police brutality, as well as issues related to the deaths of two rookie cops, who were shot by a drug addict at the film's beginning. During the riot, Murphy and Corelli witness an officer throwing an innocent teenager off an apartment roof to his death. As Murphy becomes more intimate with Isabella, they begin a sexual relationship. While she is sleeping, Murphy notices "track marks" on her skin. She later admits that she uses heroin as a way to relax from working in such a stressful environment. She tells him that other hospital employees also use heroin.
Illustrating the futility of policing in the precinct, the killer of the two cops is never found, despite mass arrests and interrogations. The drug addict who killed them is later also killed and her body is shown as an anonymous bundle dumped in roadside trash.
Murphy is broken when Isabella dies from a drug overdose and wrestles with the moral question of whether he should maintain the "blue code" and not inform authorities about the officer who threw the teen off the roof. Murphy decides to resign and report the killing, a decision that will make other officers hate him and view him as a "stool pigeon". Murphy seems to be on the verge of quitting the force, when he sees a purse snatcher rob a person and flee. Murphy and Corelli chase the robber, and the image freezes as Murphy leaps to tackle him.
Maybe Assange will show up at the SOTU? (would be funny to see that!)

Do we know any French street thugs?
It means rough men are coming to deliver justice.
Sitting right beside Melania would be my hope.
We could build the wall out of the bricks the Democrats would be s#itting.

Movie: Apache (1954) - IMDb Rating: 6.4/10 - Refusing to let himself be re-settled on a reservation, an Apache warrior escapes his captors and returns to his homeland to become a peaceful farmer.
” ... her glorious moon ...”
Dude, that’s gross.
Hillary and Obama have their own little Gov’t set up. Remember Mills? She has her own city in Africa which was paid for in full by US funds. Obama sent $Billions to that same area for “Womens Groups and Issues”. The money was never actually sent. Obama still has the funds at his descretion.
Can you borrow some? Obama had millions of boxes of ammo in various departments. No one has ever inventoried. Where are the ammo stashes now? Bet no one knows.

The quote is on the Army's tweet, not Wikileaks'.
Wikileaks took the Army's tweet as an excuse to hype their 2010 disclosure accusing the Army of helicopter-based war crimes in Baghdad.
Red, I am NOT going to touch that with a ten foot fork!
geez, MNDude, the Wikileaks tweet implies the OPPOSITE of what you claimed in the OP. Wikileaks is clearly mocking the tweet of the US Army feed, which equated the Apache helicopter with promoting freedom. Wikileaks puts “freedom” in scare quotes to show that they challenge the Army’s interpretation of freedom.
The Wikileaks tweet then associates the Apache with murder and links to a Wikileaks claim that US Apache pilots are guilty of mass murder.
