I’d be happy if Trump took back office today. But unfortunately I have to deal with reality.
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
I remember reading this poem about 50 years ago, as a young man, and being struck by the last three lines.
I was about to start my journey in life. I was intrigued by the premise of the poem, the deliberation of options, and the decision made.
Throughout my life, I have remembered these words.
I took some unconventional paths, but I regret none of it.
And I credit the good Lord for guiding me in my decisions and giving me the courage to pursue His leading, even against conventional wisdom.
I hear ya.
But, as you know, I do Like Dreamin’ 🎶
And, swooning. 😂
I like dreaming, too! It would be answered prayer if all of this turned out to be true. Believe me, I’d love to see our tyrant up here spend the rest of his evil, useless life at Gitmo, or better (and by better for me, I mean worse for him lol)

Thank you, South Carolina!
Amen!
Beautiful pic, exit.
And, you’re right....those guys know, too.
I just heard on the Dana show that a Shelter Nurse in Chicago to take care of illegals get paid $20,000.00 a week.
Our money.
Is there a picture of Trump thanking SC LEOs that were his escort for his motorcade?
I posted the video yesterday but haven’t seen a picture.
BBL off to Slaveway.
Wish we didn’t have to eat. LOL

The Battle of Charlotte
On this day in history, September 26, 1780, the Battle of Charlotte reveals to British General Charles Cornwallis that he will not have an easy time taking over North Carolina. After the British captured most of Georgia in 1779 and South Carolina in 1780, Cornwallis hoped mopping up the remnants of the Continental Army which had escaped to North Carolina would be an easy task.

Various small groups of Continentals and militia harassed Cornwallis’ movements from behind and before. Colonel William R. Davie had successfully attacked a Loyalist camp adjacent to Cornwallis’ main army at the Battle of Wahab’s Plantation on September 20th. He and 150 troops skirmished again with Cornwallis’ troops on the evening of September 25th and withdrew to Charlotte around midnight. Ordered to guard the city and slow down the British advance, Davie placed his men strategically around the small town.
Charlotte at the time consisted of about 20 houses with two intersecting main streets. The Mecklenberg County Courthouse sat at the intersection. The courthouse featured 8 pillars facing to the south with a low wall connecting them. Behind the wall was a common area where an outdoor market was held. Davie posted part of his men behind this wall, part to the north of the courthouse and the rest behind some nearby houses. He also posted two lines of cavalry to the east and west of the courthouse.
As the British army approached, Cornwallis sent the American Legion to scout out the area. The Legion’s commander, Banastre Tarleton, was ill, so command was given to Major George Hanger instead. Hanger had been ordered to move into the town cautiously because Cornwallis expected militia were close by. Instead Hanger charged into town at full force and the Legion came under a hail of gunfire. When the first line of militia began to withdraw, Hanger mistook this as a retreat and charged all the harder, coming under crossfire from the men behind the houses.
Three different charges were made by the British and they suffered heavy casualties, including Major Hanger, who was wounded. Lord Cornwallis finally sent the light infantry to the rescue and Colonel Davie ordered his men to retreat. As they escaped north of the town, the British followed them and several more casualties occurred on both sides at Sugar Creek Church north of town. In all, the Americans had about 5 killed and 6 wounded, while the British had more than 50 dead or wounded.
The Battle of Charlotte was not a consequential battle of the American Revolution. Its main significance was that it opened General Cornwallis’ eyes to the fact that this war was not over, despite the victories in Georgia and South Carolina. Mecklenberg County was a hotbed of patriot sentiment in North Carolina and Colonel Davie and the local militia lived up to this reputation in the Battle of Charlotte.
Cornwallis had such a bad time in Mecklenberg County, in fact, that he later it called the area a “hornets’ nest,” which made the locals quite proud! The name was taken with such pride that the name was officially adopted. The city seal carries a hornet’s nest, local groups have the words “hornets” or “hornets’ nest” in their names, even pro-sports teams in Charlotte are still called “Hornets” to this day.

Nazi’s in Ukraine, ha. We know there are.
My father fought with the Canadian Forces against the Nazi’s during WW2, now they are honoring Nazis in Canada.
Father died as a result from the war. What a tribute to those brave Canadian soldiers.
Just got word my Canadian cousin died, years of cancer.
She did euthanasia.
Not the Canada I grew up in.
Sister had no clue about Zelensky and Trudeau honoring the SS.
But, she did tell me Truedue is gay.
Candada better wake up.
Yes, the hourly rates being charged by these “companies” is outrageous.
A huge money-laundering scam, all the way around.
BTW, when this is over, they are probably going to have to demolish some of these hotels, as these migrants are going to wreck them.
The whole Nazi thing could be, for Trudeau and the Canadian parliament, a testament to the horrible educational system in the West that keeps changing history. Anyone should know that the people fighting the Russians in WW2 were Nazis. Russia was our ally and in fact lost more lives fighting the Nazis than any other country.
I won’t give Zelensky any pass on this. He knows the Nazis in Ukraine fought the Russians (still are). Just because Russia went on to starve Ukrainians and everyone in USSR doesn’t give them the right to change history. The Nazis and communists were both evil (still are).
Ironic that the West is embracing communism now that Russia isn’t. What does that tell you?
Excellent summmary, Rusty.
I hear Poland now wants to extradite the Canadian SS hero.
Thanks for the response. I guess the use of (sarc) and lol displayed a little more than the mere passing of information and it morphed into a dig to many of us. Best we all try to lay off the sarcasm directed at those with whom we are not walking in lock-step.
It’s all good, and, again, I hope you’re right and I’m wrong!
Just made scratch pancakes & butter and Mrs Butterworth’s atop
It’s hard to follow the flow of conversations on these threads unless there’s a quote to the post being referenced. I have that problem here sometimes I have that problem on the Q thread most of the time. If you’re gone from the Q thread for two or three days you are really over your head.
There’s a whole bunch of new code words and a whole bunch of information and names and places. I want to learn as much as possible but the amount of news available is overwhelming. I believe we should take as much as possible juggle it around in our brain and either discarded or utilized all or part of it
I always appreciate the people sharing
they’ve done some research and sometimes don’t agree with what they’re posting but just put it out for everyone to see
Excellent post, Rusty.
You are so right. This whole sordid affair points out the extremely pathetic condition of our public education....and this was years ago! Imagine the blatant propaganda they’re being fed today!
Zelensky, IMHO, is right in there with the Nazis, fighting the Russians on the backs of American and Canadian taxpayers.
