Thursday Morning Breakfast For The Brain

Good morning Deplorables, today is June 6th so be sure to take a few minutes to reflect on the sacrifices of those fine Americans who stormed the beaches on D-Day. Sucks that we are now having to fight the same fascism that they fought but if we persevere, we will be victorious.

D-Day By the Numbers, By the Men

Via PJ Media

I want you to imagine picking up every resident of a medium-sized city, everything they’ll need to eat and drink and rest for a few days, any vehicles they might need, gasoline, of course, plus lots of guns and ammo — did I mention this was a hunting trip? — and then moving them all in a few short hours a distance of anywhere from 30 to 125 miles or so.

Now imagine you have to move all those people and all that stuff partly by air, but mostly across heavy seas in foul weather.

Under enemy fire.

I should also mention that if you messed up any of the big details, a lot of your people are going to die, and then you’re going to have to figure out how to move them all back without getting too many more of them killed.

And all that is just the beginning. Because once you’ve done all that, those men on that “hunting trip” are going to have to take and widen a beachhead big enough and secure enough that you can rebuild (or build from scratch!) the ports and roads necessary to bring another million men over… plus all the additional stuff all those additional men will need.

That, in a logistical nutshell, was what the Allies had to accomplish 75 years ago on D-Day.

75 Years Later, These D-Day Vets Remember

Via Conservative Daily News

It’s been 75 years since American troops stormed the beaches of Normandy, France, in the largest land, sea and air invasion in history. D-Day gave the Allies a long-awaited foothold in Europe, and its success led to the continent’s liberation and the end of World War II.

About 160,000 men took part in the June 6, 1944, invasion, about half of whom were American. The U.S. suffered tremendous casualties that day, but their valor will never be forgotten.

Three-quarters of a century later, a dwindling fraternity of men who survived that day and the rest of the war remain. While they’re in the twilight of their lives, they’re still willing to tell the stories they’ve carried with them all these years. Here are three.

From Occupy To AOC: The Rise Of The New Progressives, Part 1

Via The Federalist

Over the past decade, a new and virulently illiberal progressive movement has taken shape in the United States. Centered around identity politics, control and censorship of speech, and proposed government takeovers of much of the economy, today’s New Progressive now sounds and looks almost identical to the radical fringe elements of leftism as recently as the late 1990s. Although the actual number of these New Progressives may be small, the movement has broad and approving reach in the media, and has become a disproportionally large part of the national political debate.

For conservatives it is essential to understand the origins and nature of this new progressivism. Although the cultural, economic, and political ideas that undergird this movement can be traced back to at the least the late 1960s and the emergence of European postmodern philosophy, in the American context, the most useful starting point for understanding what is happening today is Occupy Wall Street (OWS).

Occupy brought together three ideas for the first time that were formerly on the fringe. First is the idea that group identity bestows differing rights and obligations on individuals, rather than individuals all having equal rights and obligations. Second, OWS created the concept of a battle between the 99 percent and the 1 percent, which replaced a more nuanced approach on the left to how wealth is distributed. Finally, it offered a deep distrust of and desire to silence corporate entities that OWS claimed are not persons and therefore essentially have no rights.

Wreck the Electoral College, Destroy the Country

Via The American Thinker

While you were sleeping, the Democrats (abetted by some deviant Republicans) have been working on a plan that would destroy the diversity of the American political system and bring the nation to the brink of civil war. The plan is called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, and tens of millions of dollars have already been spent over several decades trying to implement it. Fourteen blue states and the District of Columbia have already joined the Compact, which means they are 70% on the way to making their proposal the law of the land.

The Democrats’ plan is designed to eliminate the influence of the Electoral College in choosing the nation’s president, no doubt because while Hillary won the popular vote she failed win necessary votes in the Electoral College. Eliminating the influence of the Electoral College would end the diversity now embodied in the federal system with its division of powers between Washington and the fifty states. The fact that a party which presents itself as a defender of diversity should be leading the charge to eliminate the nation’s most powerful source of diversity should be all that is required to understand the threat their agenda poses to what has been the nation’s constitutional way of life for 232 years.

The Electoral College and the division of powers are features of the Constitution. But the National Popular Vote movement does not propose to amend the Constitution because it doesn’t have the votes to do that. Instead, in the name of “democracy,” it proposes to circumvent the Constitution and its requirement of large national majorities for amending what has been the fundamental law of the land. Think how Orwellian that is, and how concerning it should be for anyone believing the Founders created the most practical, realistic, democratic, diverse and successful polity the world has ever seen.

DISTURBING: Mueller Witness And Arab Adviser Allegedly Had Vile Videos Of Children As Young As Three In Acts With Goats

Via The Daily Caller

A Lebanese-American adviser to the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, George Aref Nader, was charged with possessing shocking and abhorrent videos showing children between the ages of three and 13 in sexual acts with goats.

The videos were allegedly found after Nader’s three iPhones were seized to look for information about his political activities as part of the Robert Mueller probe.

Twelve vile videos are detailed in an FBI affidavit recently unsealed. One video is described as:

The video centers on a boy approximately thirteen (13) to fourteen (14) years old seated on a wood plank floor naked from the waist down. A goat is lying before him with all four legs tied. The boy appears to penetrate the goat from behind with his penis. The goat reacts and makes noise each time the boy thrusts.

In another, a toddler’s penis is allegedly presented to baby goats that apparently mistake it for an udder:

The video centers on a boy approximately three (3) to four (4) years old in a farmyard naked from the waist down. Baby goats surround him. The boy looks at the camera before moving a few steps away. The baby goats follow. A hand from off screen reaches into frame and lifts the boy’s shirt. The baby goats move in and suck on his penis.

In another, a pantsless three-to-four-year-old is placed in a chicken coop with a bucket over his head while a chicken pecks on his penis. In yet another, pliers are taken to a three-year-old boy’s genitals. In one video, a three-year-old boy has a vibrating stuffed animal on his penis and cries when it is taken away, with the video edited to emphasize the crying, according to the affidavit.
