Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was relentlessly mocked this week for suggesting that the left-wing was going to start a second civil war on the 4th of July. The ridicule was fair as Jones’ bold claim was likely just a publicity stunt. However, I believe the chances of a second civil war occurring in the near future are a lot greater than some may realize. Just search “list of civil wars” on Wikipedia. This will give you an idea of how common it is for a country to go to war with itself. History reveals that there has almost never been...

Ever since Maxine Waters encouraged her supporters to publicly harass Trump supporters, liberals have denounced civility and things just keep getting worse. Now, Washington Post columnist and MSNBC Contributor Jennifer Rubin announced that if Trump gets his way with the supreme court, it is time for civil war. “The people who brought Donald Trump and delivered him to the White House want this [the overturn of Roe], and I think they will not be disappointed. So then the question is, if they’re not able to withstand this onslaught, not able to hold back a justice that would reverse Roe, what...

Abraham Lincoln's Independence Day Address of July 7, 1863 Researched by James R. Heintze. All rights reserved. Abraham Lincoln's Independence Day address of 1863 in Washington is significant in that it was presented three days after the city had celebrated the holiday and represented one of only a few Fourth of July addresses given in Washington during the 19th century that were reprinted in newspapers outside the city. Perhaps not referred to as often as his other speeches, Lincoln's July 7 address is nonetheless important. Presented, apparently spontaneously, as a response to hundreds of persons who had gathered in front...

Gun sales have remained strong during the Trump era. Through the end of May, 2018 is trending to be the second highest year on record. The NICS checks through May of 2018 are 97% of those of 2016. Political writers and gun industry writers, and those who are both, have speculated that politics have been the major driver of guns sales for the last decade. The latest Rassmussen poll shows evidence of a deeper reason people would fear to be disarmed. From rasmussenreports.com: Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience...

Union and Confederate soldiers return to Gettysburg on 50th anniversary of Civil War battle that began 155 years ago tomorrow:    

A former Huntsville City Schools teacher is in custody after police said he pulled out a gun at a protest in Big Spring Park. Lt. Michael Johnson of the Huntsville Police Department confirmed Shane Ryan Sealy, 34, was arrested Saturday and charged with menacing and reckless endangerment. Huntsville City Schools spokesperson Keith Ward confirmed that Sealy previously taught at Grissom High School. Ward added Sealy has not worked for the school system in “roughly two years.” Bond has not yet been set. Police say no shots were fired and no one was hurt. The Families Belong Together rally is part...

Kevin McCullough from TownHall.com has penned one of the most insightful summaries of the total disregard for civil society now viciously pursued by the deranged, lunatic Left. In essence, McCullough accurately describes the Left’s painful descent into a lunatic mob of screamers and hate-mongers, and why they have abandoned any pretext of civility in their quest to utterly silence, destroy and even murder conservatives across America. As you read this, below, keep in mind that the Left has turned America into a battlefield — complete with threats to firebomb conservative targets in coordinated acts of domestic terrorism — and they...

It’s the current year, and the unhinged left still cannot face the hard reality of a Donald Trump successful presidency. I didn’t mean it to rhyme, but that’s how it got out, sorry. Truth be told, the left seems to be crazier than ever nowadays, and Michael Moore is living fat proof of this. According to Jabba the Hutt reincarnated, the wimpy and weak Democrats (his words, not mine) would have to “rise up”, and, check this out: “put their bodies on the line” to mitigate the Trump disaster. If that doesn’t mean civil war, I don’t know what does....

Rosenstein stands his ground against conservative critics Gowdy demands an end to the Mueller probe House ramps up pressure on Justice over documents Wray, Rosenstein defend integrity of Mueller probe Rosenstein pushes back on surveillance warrant criticism

“Thirty-one percent of American likely voters believe another civil war is likely in the next five years, while eleven percent believe it is very likely, according to a Rasmussen poll. Over half of reponsdents said they are concerned that political violence is likely from opponents of President Donald Trump's policies. The poll was conducted by Rasmussen Reports, a right-leaning public polling group. The poll was conducted over the telephone and online on 1000 Likely Voters, with a three-percent margin of error. The survey was conducted between June 21 and June 24, 2018.”

Most voters fear that political violence is coming from opponents of the president’s policies, just as they did in the second year of Barack Obama’s presidency, and nearly one-in-three think a civil war is next. Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war sometime in the next five years, with 11% who say it’s Very Likely. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 59% consider a second civil war unlikely, but that includes only 29% who say it’s Not At All Likely. (To see...

It is time to reboot America “When you’re violent and cursing and screaming and blocking me from walking into a movie, there’s something wrong. The next people are going to come with guns. That’s what’s going to happen.”—Pam Bondi, Florida Attorney General “The Left Loses Its Cool” Recently most Americans have been shocked by open calls for, not just resistance to the Trump agenda, but increasing calls for violence and even outright revolution. ...It is going to get ugly violent. Yes, this is sedition, and it is time to call the behavior out. ...Freedom isn’t free, there is no resting.—Bill...

Democrats' Plan: Tear Down America and Eradicate the Country of Conservatives In a collective national temper tantrum, leftist-Democrats across the country continue to openly reject the election of President Donald Trump in 2016. I used to just write about the “Two Californias,” a phrase coined by Victor Davis Hanson to describe the urban elite, out-of-touch coastal communities, and the rural inland agricultural areas. “We may speak of the richness of “diversity,” but those who cherish that ideal simply have no idea that there are now countless inland communities that have become near-apartheid societies, where Spanish is the first language, the...

Rep. Steve King posted a warning on Twitter Sunday evening that the U.S. is heading toward a second civil war, comparing the present day actions of the anti-Trump resistance to the run-up to the Civil War. King, an eight-term Congressman from Iowa, keyed off a PJ Media article about leftist protesters shutting down a Portland, Oregon ICE office and taking down the U.S. flag, replacing with an “Refugees Welcome” flag. “America is heading in the direction of another Harpers Ferry. After that comes Ft. Sumter.”

The bullet probably hit the Union soldier as he was fleeing. It may have struck his cartridge box first, which sent it tumbling through the muscle of his right buttock, broke his right leg and buried itself sideways in his thigh bone just below the hip. His buddies probably carried him as they retreated before the storm of Rebel gun and cannon fire. At the field hospital, the harried surgeons probably took a look at him and moved on to those less seriously wounded. After he died, he was laid in a shallow pit with a dead comrade and the...
