Book Recommendation: The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters by Karl Rove
Though I'm a Republican, I have mixed feelings about Rove and probably would not have bought this book. But my brother Tom gave it to me for Christmas--I'm glad he did. It is well-written, very balanced, and the researching and sourcing would do credit to a professional historian. Part bio of McKinley, part political history/analysis of the gilded age, the campaign of 1896 and the controversy over "Free Silver," this volume will be of interest to history buffs and political junkies. Given that McKinley was an abolitionist from his youth, served with great heroism in the war against the slave power, fought all his life for black voting rights and was supported by Frederick Douglas and other black leaders, it is ironic that the first Black president should have removed his name from the mountain, to rename it "the high one" in the native language. But then, McKinley was a Republican, so maybe it's not surprising, as the Democrat party continues to honor slave owners. Another irony is that McKinley is probably not as well known as William Jennings Bryan, the man he defeated in 1896 and again in 1900, an unknown who seized control of the Democrat convention with his "Cross of Gold" speech based on the promise of unlimited free silver coinage minted at a ratio of 16-1 with gold, so that debtors could pay back their debts with cheap money. Like borrowing enough money to buy a Cadillac and the government lets you pay the lender back with inflated money that will only buy a used Chevy. Bryan was rather the Bernie Sanders of his day, lesser known than Sanders but a better orator. The Democrats made many errors that helped McKinley. Some of the free-silver delegates were anti-Semitic, shouting slurs such as "Down with the hooked nose Shylocks of Wall Street" and "Down with the Christ-killing gold-bugs." (p-261). Silver Republicans and Gold Democrats bolted their parties, but the Gold Democrats did more damage. Bourke Cochran, an Irish-born former Democrat congressman, followed Bryan around refuting his arguments. He said a Bryan presidency would, "paralyze industry by using all the powers of government to take property from the hands of those who created it and place it in the hands of those who covet it." (p-307) Bryan said of Wall Street bankers, "We want to destroy the business in which they are engaged." It could be Elizabeth Warren today. McKinley speaking to factory workers, replied that "The man who would array the poor against the rich, labor against capital, classes against classes or section against section, is not a friend of the country. He is the enemy of the very best interests of every citizen." he created a new kind of campaign. the precursor of today's primary campaigns, and won a huge victory. So, yes, Rove is right--the election of 1896 still matters today.
Must Read: Can Trump Restore America
Excerpt: Aristotle teaches that while we must love our friends, we must love truth more. Today, I am probably going to lose some good friends, which is painful. Nevertheless, my admiration for everything America was, everything modern civilization was, compels me to bite the bullet. Donald Trump may win the Republican presidential nomination. He may even be elected President of the United States -- stranger things have certainly happened recently. However, while his popularity is understandable, an essential question remains: Is Trump the kind of leader who might begin to restore a crumbled constitutional republic?

Meet the pro-gun rape survivor who challenged Obama on CNN. By Justin Wm. Moyer

Then, Thursday night on national television, she got to confront the man she thought wanted to take her guns away: President Obama.
Obama White House misfires on gun control and mental illness
Excerpt: I have written extensively about the multifaceted ways our mental health care needs to be rebuilt—including legislation that would need to be put in place to do it. The fact is that our mental health care system’s safety net has been torn apart, such that even people who freely admit that they are considering harming others are not given comprehensive care, including ready access to psychiatry visits, medication and hospitalization....Mandating that clinicians report that certain patients should not have guns in their possession is a blunt instrument that could be used to deprive tens of millions of Americans of their fundamental Second Amendment rights. (Obama began demanding a mental evaluation of every patient EVERY TIME THEY ENCOUNTER a healthcare worker, whether qualified to make mental health assessments or not and it is being added to each person's electronic medical record permanently. It is SO IMPORTANT for each one of us to examine what is in our health records; typically they are either now done by computer-tick menus and edited by swamped MDs/PAs themselves or by those who work cheaply in foreign countries. Note that his mental evaluation was never released on his annual physical. US citizens do not realize the Regime has been mandating mental assessments of them entered into records by those who may not be qualified to do so for YEARS. Years, folks. It used to be a mental health physical was done only for those being admitted for psychiatric care; now every patient visit, ER visit, urgent care visit...you are assessed. --Barb)

Mabus has decreed the end of separate Basic Training for men and women in the Corps. We know what this means, since we know what happened to the other services when they "integrated" training.

And they instituted the "time out" cards for trainees, so they could yank it out of a pocket and get 5 minutes of rest and freedom from any input by DIs. This has done just wonderful things for the people taking the training. God help us if we ever have to go to a real war with this kind of stupid crap going on. This is nothing short of absolutely terrible. Civilians with infinite arrogance and bottomless ignorance are dictating to the military and have done very serious damage. We can only pray that in 2017 a new President will appoint someone to be SecDef who is ex-military and who will start the long, slow process of getting back to the right, effective, and in the long run, safest way to train people and lead people in the ugly business of war.

Interesting: Thomas Chatterton Williams: My black privilege
Excerpt: But the truth is more complicated than that. I am a black man of mixed race heritage, and while every black member of my family has encountered racism, we are also the ones in the family who hold graduate degrees, own businesses and travel abroad. My black father, born in 1937 in segregated Texas , is an exponentially more worldly man than my maternal white Protestant grandfather, whose racism always struck me more as a sad function of his provincialism or powerlessness than anything else. I don't mean to excuse the corrosive effects of his views; I simply wish to note that when I compare these two men, I do not recognize my father as the victim. ... Like a piece of paper that is both red all over and green all over, for far too many Americans of all backgrounds, the idea of a simultaneously black and advantaged person is impossible to imagine. This mental inflexibility points to a seldom discussed but nonetheless very frustrating aspect of being African American: well-intentioned people will insist you are a victim whether you interpret your life in such a way or not. Even in the most rarified financial, intellectual and cultural spaces, to experience yourself as something other than a person set upon is at odds with the assumptions people of all colors project.

Conservatives Agree Standoff in Oregon Elevates Debate on Federal Land
I'm not generally happy with people arming themselves and taking over federal buildings and talking aggressively about resisting. And there are some people in the West who truly are extreme, refusing to acknowledge any authority from the government. But it is also sadly true that federal bureaucracies seem to have double standards about how things go. For instance, it was the EPA that let several million gallons of heavy metal sludge out into the river system, something that would have had a corporation fined half their worth and maybe sent people to jail, but the consequences to the EPA were..... zero, nada, nichts, bupkis, nihil, like nothing, baby. People set small backfires and get hammered, official backfires go out of control over tens of thousands of acres and houses are lost, but that's OK? Abuse of authority and imposition of seriously excessive penalties have been the hallmark of federal agencies from time to time, not to mention just really stupid mistakes like Ruby Ridge and the Davidian slaughter. And it seems no one ever even gets a hand slapped. So while I wish the guys in Oregon handled their protest in a better way, I have to say they do represent a very legitimate set of grievances held by many citizens out there. I hope that this brings enough focus to get Congress to do something about it. (Of course, an Executive Order from the White House could fix it all in a second, but this is not on the priority list there.) --Del

Saudi Arabia and Iran seem minutes away from open war with one another and President Obama’s advisers reportedly think his Iran deal is a source of “stability” in the Middle East (one has to wonder if they, too, were raised on ancient moron burial ground).

Codevilla, Advice to War Presidents. I've gotten to where I really hate seeing another article on current events and how bad things are. Yet it is the reality that is in our face whether we like it or not. The three areas Dr. Krauthammer talks about are all too real, all too dangerous, and clearly going nowhere but downhill. And that's without even getting into the extremely disturbing situation with the North Koreans steadily building a nuclear arsenal and missiles to deliver the bombs. On NPR this morning there was a discussion about what's going on with the Saudis and their allies facing Iran and their allies, and even in that normally slanted environment everyone agreed that the Saudis and others now figure they cannot count on the USA for anything, so they must start acting on their own in what they see as their interests. The war in Yemen is a mess, but the Saudis and friends figure it's up to them to keep the country from falling to the rebels who are supported by Iran . We don't have, haven't had, any remotely effective foreign policy for a long time now, and the effects are only too obvious and only too negative. But this is truly really important stuff for the nation, the world, the future, and here we are mostly backing out of the whole game.
