NOT ON MY WATCH

-

 


 Okay, let me get this straight. The Democrats come out with these 11th hour supposed blockbuster accusations in an Atlantic magazine article by Jeffrey Goldberg that Trump was disrespectful to the military two years ago and has made disparaging remarks over the years. Okay, so? What am I supposed to do? Vote for the communist party or stay home and not vote at all. Neither of these choices are viable options if I want to save my country, or at least buy our country a little time. 
 
 First, I don't believe these accusations but I will play your silly game. For the sake of argument lets pretend that every accusation in this article is the gospel truth. You want me to be so shocked and enraged that I will turn my country over to a party that is for the most part responsible for losing the war in Vietnam. We didn't lose that war on the battlefield but in the streets of America. The communist anti-war movement was led by the Democrat party. You want me to support a party that spit on those brave men returning from Vietnam. You know the same party that called them baby killers and they were accused of atrocities that Democrat John Kerry compared to those of Genghis Khan in his congressional testimony. Or I am supposed to support a party which defunded our military support of Vietnam in 1974 which led to the collapse of South Vietnam in 1975. I bet that made the loved ones of those 58,000 brave men and women who died in Vietnam feel good about their loved ones sacrifice.

The Democrats have a long history of defunding things that really matter. Not just the police. Thats a brilliant idea, isn't it?. They defunded the military during the 1970's. The military was having to recruit drug addicts, criminals and people with low IQ's because the Democrats had done so much to destroy morale of the military during that time. Our military was in a mess by the time Ronald Reagan was elected and he had to work overtime building it back up. Clinton came along and cut 8 combat divisions and was downgrading the military to the point that Bush had to build it back up after September 11th. Obama cut the military to the point that we were having to scrounge around for used parts just to keep our fighters and other military hardware functioning. Now Trump is having to build it back up. Isn't it amazing how easy it is to weaken our military and how hard it is to restore it?

 Then there was the Black Hawk Down fiasco in Somalia where our troops were begging the Clinton administration for armor repeatedly and it was repeatedly denied. Or that beautiful Benghazi operation where Hillary Clinton and Obama abandoned our men to their fate because they didn't want you knowing that Al qaeda was still capable of doing us much harm and made up that brilliant cover story that the attack was motivated by an anti-Muslim film. They spread that lie for weeks and even looked the mourning relatives straight in the eyes and lied to them. Yup, the Democrats love the military. 

 Finally I am supposed to vote for a prop that will be the means of totally transforming the country I love into a communist state. As a 21 year veteran of the Air Force and Army I don't think so. NOT ON MY WATCH!!!

THE DEATH OF JAYNE MANSFIELD

Jayne Mansfield   Jayne Mansfield died way too young on June 29, 1967 at the age of 34 in a gruesome car wreck, She was killed instantly but contrary to urban legend she was not decapitated. Jayne was called the poor man's Marilyn Monroe. She had enjoyed about a four year stint of popularity on Broadway and in Hollywood from 1954 until 1958. Her career was in decline in the late 50's and early 60's but she was still popular in Europe and on the nightclub circuit. She took her last name from her high school sweetheart Paul Mansfield when she married him at the age of seventeen. Her second husband was a former Mr. Universe named Mickey Hargitay who was from Norway. The third and last husband was Matt Cimber. Mansfield was highly educated, attending Southern Methodist University, the University of Texas and U.C.L.A. She supposedly had an IQ of 163 and was called the smartest dumb blonde ever. Of course she couldn't be too smart. In 1966, a year before her death, while

CARNTON PLANTATION

   My first association with the Carnton Plantation in Franklin was when I would see the old house while hunting for Civil War relics in the early 1970's. There is a subdivision near Carnton today in the area where I hunted when it was primarily farm land. I knew it was an antebellum home but I wasn't aware of how historic Carnton was. It was in a horrible state of disrepair and I have learned since then that a farmer was using the house as his hay barn. In 1977 the owner of the property donated the house and ten acres to the Carnton Association and they have done a fantastic job of restoring the plantation to it's former glory. Originally the McGavock's owned 1400 acres. It was built by Randall McGavock in the 1820's. He was mayor of Nashville and a close friend of Andrew Jackson and James K. Polk. Jackson on several occasions was an overnight guest in the home.    His son John took over the plantation in 1843 upon the death of Randall. In 1848 John mar

The James brothers with their mother Zerelda James   Most everyone has heard of the notorious outlaws Jesse and Frank James, however; did you know that they lived in Nashville from 1875 until March 1881? Jesse's oldest son Jesse James Jr. was born in Nashville along with his sister Mary. Jesse Jr. was born at 606 Boscobel Street on August 31, 1875. Mary was born on West Hamilton Road in Bordeaux on July 17, 1879. Jesse Jr. went by the name Tim and as far as he knew his last name was Howard. He and his sister would not know their real last names until after Jesse was killed in 1882. Jesse and his wife Zerelda would also lose two male twins in infancy.  Jesse's brother Frank lived on Clarksville Pike. While living there he and his wife Annie Ralston James gave birth to a son named Robert Franklin on February 6, 1877. For a time he would be dressed as a girl and go by the name of Mary. Why his parents did this I do not know.  The brothers were on the run. Nashville was
