Perhaps the government should just lend any future Victoria Crosses they issue.

Sure - all 3 of them.

Why would I care?  He was a murderer, thief, kidnapper and traitor but his reign of terror ended 132 years ago.

Harriett Beecher Stowe - Uncle Tom's Cabin - "Both North and South have been guilty before God; and the Christian church has a heavy account to answer. " Harriett Beecher Stowe saw no innocents in the slavery issue.  These facts are just prior to the Civil War.  Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky...

Sure - Lee had a fraction of the resources of the Union and the last place to surrender, Appomattox, is only 200 km from Washington.  That was after most of the Confederacy was occupied.  If he was no good, he was better than most Confederate generals.  The reputation of generals is often as...

I suspect statues to Lee were built because Southerners genuinely loved him.  The Confederacy were fighting for their freedom.  Slavery was one of the freedom issues although more important to the 6% of the population that owned slaves than to most.

Grant was also a slave owner and benefited immensely from his wife's and family's slaves.  Your criticism of Lee as a soldier is as meaningless as every other military armchair quarterback. 19 presidents owned slaves.  that's a lot of statues to knock down and a lot of history to rewrite...

You can apply self defense to counter force or threat of force.  It's pretty straight forward.  That's why, after everyone charged goes through punishment by process, they have been found not guilty.  You can use force to defend property but the bugaboo "reasonable in the circumstance" will...

Free trade with China?  Do we still have any manufacturing for them to take over?  Maybe they will put a few Canadian owned factories in Mexico out of business.

The Shia population of Syria is Alawite which does not have much in common with Iranian and Iraqi Shias.  They are likely considered heretics.  They are little more than 10% of the Syrian population so they will not be part of a grand Shia Alliance.  Assad rules by popular consent, to a large...

I think we are being fed a line concerning Syria.  The Syrian government controls 71% of the population and the Kurds control 14%.  These natural allies control 85% of the population.  Why are they natural allies?  The Turks despise the Kurds as terrorists and the US is going to leave.  The only...

I hadn't heard that all the members of the Senate had been questioned on marital fidelity.  If odds mean anything, around half would flunk the test.

Information online says he met her outside his duties as a pastor and their is no information that he served as her pastor. I assume that the only offence he could be accused of committing is: "153(1.2) A judge may infer that a person is in a relationship with a young person that is...

The only disqualifying provision related to behavior - "31(4) If he is attainted of Treason or convicted of Felony or of any infamous Crime;" Clearly he was not convicted of a crime. There is one other provision that makes it a matter for the Senate to decide - "33. If any Question arises...

Great news!  Perhaps she'll be replaced by a conservative.

Trump won by 3 big states by significant margins. The closest, Michigan, did an automatic recount.  Requesting recounts would be truly odd.  Only New Hampshire would be in play and it's tiny.

I don't get the naked Trump statues.  Google "naked Hillary" on the internet and you get 1,000 images of naked Hillary.  It really isn't her and isn't a reflection on her.

Not unattractive for an old broad other than the hyperthyroid eyes. (Apparently she has hypothyroidism - not sure what the eyes are about)

Primary - black/woman Secondary - worse than poor speaker/not attractive

He was the most qualified so he won.  He was not a politician and Republican voters are sick of politicians and their correctspeak.  Experience created Crooked Hillary, the scariest person to ever run for president.
