  • Excerpt from the French Epic Poem "The Song of Roland"

    Le Chanson de Roland ^ | ca. Anno Domini 1100 | unknown
    Karl the Great cannot choose but weep, For him hath his host compassion deep; And for Roland, a marvellous boding dread. It was Gan, the felon, this treason bred; He hath heathen gifts of silver and gold, Costly raiment, and silken fold, Horses and camels, and mules and steeds. But lo! King Marsil the mandate speeds, To his dukes, his counts, and his vassals all, To each almasour and amiral. And so, before three suns had set, Four hundred thousand in muster met. Through Saragossa the tabors sound; On the loftiest turret they raise Mahound: Before him the Pagans bend...

    Looks like somebody didn’t wait for the official “Day of Rage” to begin. Trigger warning - the attack vehicle was a WHITE truck.Ah France! Liberté, egalité, fraternité – Ou la Mort…Of all the choices embedded in their national motto, why on earth have the French chosen Mort? Oh, right; political correctness. And since all lives don’t matter to the New Caliphate that means death to the infidel.As of late Friday the venerable New York Times reported on the massacre, under the heading “What We Don’t Know:” Who was responsible and why. The newspaper Nice Matin reported early Friday that he...

    Troops have rushed to the airport after passengers were ordered to leave the baggage collection area. Soldiers are now sweeping through the airport while confused passengers have been ordered to wait outside. A suspect package has been found in the baggage collection area, sparking fears of a bomb threat. Yesterday a terrorist purposefully drove a truck for one mile through a crowd of people celebrating Bastille Day. At least 84 people were killed, while dozens more have been left in a serious or critical condition. More to follow...

    On Thursday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “On the Record,” while reacting to the attacks in Nice, France, presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump stated “when I come out with my non-politically correct statements, that a lot of people love, and some people are so terrible, and then you have attacks like this and so many other attacks.” And that “I would not allow people to come in from terrorist nations. I would do extreme vetting. I would call it extreme vetting, too.”

    The truck was loaded with explosives and hand grenades as it plowed into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, France, Thursday night. It was no accident: Nice authorities emphasized that it was a terror attack, which was fairly clear already from the fact that the driver exchanged gunfire with police after he rammed into the crowd.

    On Thursday night 80 innocents were slaughtered in Nice, France when a terrorist smashed them with a truck full of grenades and guns on Bastille Day. The killer was a French man from Tunisia. French officials, once again, were stunned by the attack and had no idea the terrorist was about to carry out the massacre. Newt Gingrich went off tonight after the latest Islamist massacre! Newt: “Let me be as blunt as I can be. Western civilization is in a war. Frankly, test every person here who is of a Muslim background and if they believe in Sharia they...

    The future of freedom and Western Civilization hangs in the balance tonight. Eighty people were killed and over fifty wounded in Nice, France, hours ago by an Islamic maniac who drove a five ton truck into a crowd celebrating Bastille Day. The terrorist was killed by the French Police after he opened fire on the crowd. ISIS is currently praising the attacks on social media. The Stone Age madmen of the Islamic State have declared war on the US and the West. Yet, the US and Western Europe haven’t declared war on ISIS. In actuality, the feckless leaders of the...

    The Charlie Hebdo attack, the Kosher market, the Bataclan attack, Nice attack... yet it won't surprise me if we see more liberal "virtue signaling;" putting up quotes "in solidarity" with France, changing their profile pics to a translucent French flag, or even trying to use the occasion to stifle criticism of Muslimism. France was once one of the great civilizations of Europe. It was the first to follow in our footsteps against tyrannical government. It gave the world great wine, fashion and art as well. It even had representative democracy, of course until the Munich surrender, the surrender at Compiègne,...
