The many faces of Hillary

Let’s meet Hillary Clinton, and the many faces of Hillary.  I’ve watched this lady for a long time, and she has taken a lot of positions over the years.  You can have a lot of fun just following her many political positions.

1945: Marines invaded Iwo Jima



On this day in 1945, the US Marines landed at Iwo Jima.   The island was eventually turned into an airfield and played a huge factor in the bombing raids against Japan, only 660 miles away.

A few years ago, I watched: Flag of our Fathers.   It is a good movie and it shows the cruelty of war as well as the bond among soldiers.

You can get the book that inspired the movie.

Is that insane or is that California?

Well, I don’t know about the maritime law.  I do know that it’d be a heck of a lot better for drivers if California would make it easier to refine gasoline.  As we’ve heard, the state has very strict environmental regulations, and some companies have decided to look for another zip code in the U.S.  Wonder if this is that climate cult that Secretary Rubio was talking about?

Secretary Rubio's speech and RIP Jesse Jackson

 

Secretary Rubio's speech and RIP Jesse Jackson.


Rubio knows best

Yes, I would say Rubio knows best, or a reference to that popular TV show.  He spoke to a continent that is starting to recognize that they have a mess in their countries, and blaming Trump won’t fix it.  In fact, President Trump may turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to Europe.  He is forcing them to look in the mirror and see what the problem is.
