New National Holiday on the way!

The biggest mistake the British made in the "Scramble for Africa" was they drew lines on a map and called them countries, they gathered under one government people's, tribes, who often had nothing in common-and didn't like each other. The greatest bloodletting in African history have been the Biafran secession and the Rwanda genocide.

Same thing they did in Middle East after WWI.

When Woodrow Wilson goes, can Clinton be far behind?

When Woodrow Wilson goes, can Clinton be far behind?

Clinton has made such a distinguished career of sucking up to blacks he has little to fear; remember when he opened an office in Harlem to make that clear?

But it's fun that such a (formerly) liberal icon as Wilson is getting the BLM treatment. After winning re-election on the promise of "keeping us out of war," he immediately went TO war to protect Britain & France from defaulting on the billions in loans made to them--money lost if Germany won or negotiated a stalemate, as they were trying to do. Then on the homefront, he went to war against EVERYTHING German or associated with Germany, & set up concentration camps to imprison people caught doing something subversive, like speaking German. (Like the British royal family who always spoke German among themselves.)

Now what will the liberal Wilson Institute do?

Wilson was quite the boy -- he couldn't run on the slogan, "He kept us out of war" AND draft millions of men and order millions of tons of weapons and ammunition. So when he declared war, the US Army was totally unprepared. We had no battle-worthy aircraft, no tanks, not enough rifles, artillery, etc. -- The story of the AEF is a story of improvisation, make do and do without.

Oliver Wendel Holmes famous dictum "There Is no right to shout fire in a crowded theater" was part of his ruling in Schenck v. United States -- Schenck and his companions went to prison for handing out leaflets at an Army induction center. That's how bad things were under Wilson.
