 Sentinel at the Tomb — The Story Behind the Image 

Several years ago, during another snowstorm that shutdown Washington, DC, The Patriot Post published an image of a Sentinel keeping watch at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in the midst of heavy snowfall. We distributed it in several versions, which were shared virally across social media platforms.

          At the time, we knew the photo was about 30 years old given that Sentinels now wear a winter cap instead of the barracks cover seen in the photo. We determined this Sentinel was SGT Charles Lee "Chuck" Gauldin, Tomb Badge #248, 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard). However, we were not able to locate him or his family.

          Within days of posting this image, though, we received the following message:

"Thank you so much for posting the picture of the Honor Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. You see that man — my late husband — meant the world to me then as he does now. That picture was taken when I was pregnant with the first of our two children. Charles died unexpectedly in 1997. His family and I are touched and honored by the picture and thank you and The Patriot Post staff for posting it. What a sweet, sweet memory for us."

Carmen Gauldin

In the most recent storm to hit the East Coast, national media outlets promoted our Sentinel image and the spirit of honor it reflects, but did not acknowledge who he was. Now you know. God bless the Gauld in family   -Patriot Post

 Sanders Beats Trump? 

There is a possibility that despite the most conservative and qualified GOP field in recent history, the Republican nominee may be former Democrat Donald Trump. And it's also possible he'll face not the inevitable Hilly Clinton but rather admitted socialist Bernie Sanders. If so, voters will stand at the ballot box come November and ask themselves: What kind of big government do we want? Clinton may face prosecution for her illegal mishandling of classified information, which leaves the avowed socialist holding his party's nomination by default. Trump and the followers of his personality cult think this is great news. Nothing, Trump says, can shake his high-flying standing in the polls. "The polls, they say I have the most loyal people," Trump boasted at an Iowa campaign rally Saturday. "Did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's, like, incredible." Additionally, a Gallup poll from last year found that 50% of the nation wouldn't vote for a socialist.

          But Sanders too is feeling confident. "There would be nothing more in this world that I would like to take on Donald Trump," Sanders recently said. "We would beat him and we would beat him badly."

          He might be right. A recent survey conducted by The Wall Street Journal and NBC say that it would be Sanders who would win in a Sanders/Trump general election — by a 15-point margin. The pollsters asked respondents from Jan. 9 to 13, "If the election for president were held today, and Donald Trump were the Republican candidate and Bernie Sanders were the Democratic candidate, for whom would you vote?" Sanders got 54% of the support and Trump received 39%.

          There are a lot of 'if' and 'buts' associated with that poll question. We haven't even had the first presidential debate between Republican and Democrat — and that will be a game changer. Furthermore, polls this early in the game (heck, even exit polls on Election Day) are unreliable, especially polls about hypothetical situations. Often, they amount to "pollaganda," or the use of polls to influence public opinion instead of describing it. And you wonder why the media is doing everything it can to keep Trump front and center.   -Patriot Post

 'Every Single One of Us'? 

On the Roe v Wade anniversary Friday, Barack Obama declared he would defend abortion laws against "efforts to undermine or overturned them." He also said, "In America, every single one of us deserves the rights, freedoms and opportunities to fulfill our dreams."

          Apparently not "every single one of us."

          Slaves and indentured servants lacked Civil Rights in America in the 19th century because their standing was considered less than human. In "Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation," Ronald Reagan wrote, "Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion."

          Jews lacked Civil Rights in Russia and Germany between 1917 and 1945 because their standing was considered less than human. Indeed, history is replete with the slaughter of innocents who were considered less than human. The killing of 58 million unborn children since Roe is now one of the ugliest chapters in that history.

          Meanwhile, the Leftmedia generally ignored the fact that tens of thousands of people gathered in Washington, DC, Friday — undaunted in the face of the oncoming blizzard — to March for Life. The Washington Post called it "a small, faithful crowd." It's true the crowd was smaller than in previous years, though with the weather shutting down many transportation methods that's to be expected. What is also completely expected by now is for the national media to ignore the movement of public opinion on the issue of life.   -Patriot Post

Truth About Lates Israel 'Settler' Controversy:

Herbon is Occupied Territory

Jeff Dunetz

.

.

{lidblog.com} ~ Last week the IDF removed Jewish families from two buildings they purchased in Hebron... Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at Sunday’s cabinet meeting that the people would be allowed back in once the purchases are confirmed. Netanyahu said that the moment the purchases are confirmed, families will be allowed back into the homes, “as we have done in similar cases in the past.” If the Jewish families are allowed back in,  the nObama administration and other anti Israel governments across the world will have a canary. They will claim that Hebron is “occupied territory,” and they will be correct. Hebron is a Jewish city occupied by the Arabs. Hebron’s occupation began on a  Friday evening in August almost 87 years ago when a group of Arab terrorists massacred the Jews of the city while the British who ruled over the Holy Land know what was happening but did not lift a finger to prevent the horrible event.

Davos on Migrant Crisis: 

The Worst is Yet to Come

Natalie Myers

.

.

{punchingbagpost.com} ~ As the World Economic Forum kicks off in Davos, Switzerland, a number of issues are on the table for discussion, most importantly the migrant issue... The group’s 2016 Global Risks report named the migration crisis the biggest risk because of its high likelihood, with climate change also ranking high due to the potential impact. The recent refugee levels currently are about 50% higher than they were at the height of World War II, with around 60 million displaced people from Syria to Sudan. Davos leader, Klaus Schwab, predicts that the global economic crisis slowly forming due to plunging stock markets and uncertainty with China will eventually lead to a tsunami of immigration.        http://punchingbagpost.com/davos-on-migrant-crisis-the-worst-is-yet-to-come

US Senate To Declare 

“International Martial Law” — 

Give President “Unlimited” Military Powers

Justin Gardner

.

.

{activistpost.com} ~ The U.S. Senate is poised to give President nObama and the next president unprecedented war powers that amount to declaring martial law upon the entire world... Majority leader Mitch McCon-nell surprised almost everyone last week by saying he has a war resolution ready to be voted on at any time. The resolution is a new authorization for use of military force (AUMF) for declaring war on ISIS. It would give the president even more power than the AUMF granted to Bush after 9/11, which is still in place today. Considering what Bush and nObama did with the 2001 AUMF—invading and occupying countries in “pre-emptive” war, CIA black sites, extrajudicial killings, inventing the term “enemy combatants” to bypass international law, new forms of torture, drone bombing women and children, and assassinating U.S. citizens—the specter of a new and expanded AUMF is truly frightening.        http://www.activistpost.com/2016/01/us-senate-to-declare-international-martial-law-give-president-unlimited-military-powers.html?utm_source=Activist+Post+Subscribers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=25b97ca888-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_term=0_b0c7fb76bd-25b97ca888-387888649

Clinton Staffers Cut and Pasted 

Classified Info Into Emails

Daniel Greenfield

.

.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ The most obvious thing here is the arrogance. These are people to whom classified information means nothing and national security takes a backseat to convenience and Clinton agendas... Somehow, highly classified information from SIPRNet, as well as even the super-secure JWICS, jumped from those closed systems to the open system and turned up in at least 1,340 of Clinton’s home e-mails — including several the CIA earlier this month flagged as containing ultra-secret Sensitive Compartmented Information and Special Access Programs, a subset of SCI. SAP includes “dark projects,” such as drone operations, while SCI protects intelligence sources and methods.        http://www.frontpagemag.com/point/261594/clinton-staffers-cut-and-pasted-classified-info-daniel-greenfield

Israeli-Palestinian Conflict:

Simple Answers to False Claims

Dr. Shmuel Katz

.

.

{frontpagemag.com} ~ It took the Arab propaganda machine decades of persistent, aggressive effort to convince many oblivious individuals – including some world leaders – of the canard that Jews illegally occupy Arab land, having "stolen it from Palestinians."... This view permeates the Palestinian movement: Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah's "Party of God," and Hamas acronym for Islamic Resistance Movement all share the goal of destroying Israel. Mahmoud Abbas' political party – "Fatah" – is the name of chapter 48 of the Koran which describes Mohammed signing a "peace treaty" as a way to gain leverage and launch an attack. At the root of Palestinian ideology is this "phased plan" to destroy Israel. Palestinian statesman Faisal Husseini described peace agreements with Israel as a Trojan Horse:

Gorka – Clinton Emails Nuclear Level Secrets –

Foreign Govt Blackmail Target

 Rick Wells

.

.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ Threat Knowledge Group chairman Sebastian Gorka is asked in an interview just how serious of a risk it was for Hilly Clinton to have these SAP emails on her server or servers, given that there are now reports coming out that she may have had more than one... Gorka says, “This is absolutely enormous. We’ve talked about numerous smoking guns, this is the biggest, this is the .44 Magnum of smoking guns. SAP, for those who aren’t familiar, SAP is one of the highest  classifications out there. If you think about it, our nuclear weapons programs fall under SAP.” He continues, “The idea that we’re putting these onto private, unguarded servers, this means that any enemy nation could penetrate and get access to those secrets, which undermines our national security or could lead to the Secretary being blackmailed.”        http://constitutionrising.com/archives/25196

Cybercom: OPM Hack Highlights 

China Big Data Spying

Bill Gertz

.

{freebeacon.com} ~ China’s theft of millions of records on Americans was part of a Big Data spying program conducted by Beijing that has prompted the Pentagon to take new steps to secure large data concentrations... That was the assessment of U.S. Cyber Command commander Adm. Mike Rogers who on Thursday called the compromise of 22 million records from the Office of Personnel Management, as well as millions of heath care records in an earlier attack disclosed last year, a new form of cyber spying. The Chinese cyber attacks from 2014 “get more to the idea of what’s acceptable, what’s not acceptable, what’s within established norms,” Rogers said during remarks at the Atlantic Council on Jan. 21.

Sen Sessions On Dirty Deal 

Of dinky-Reid / McCon-nell /nObama 

To Grab Our Property Rights

 Rick Wells

.

.

{constitutionrising.com} ~ There was never any doubt from the time the Marxist anti-American foreign trash began his occupation of our White House that Hussein nObama was and is the enemy of the American people... While it took some Americans longer to see the truth than others,  many of us saw him for what he was before he even ascended to the throne. The Satanic shroud is off. The nature of this beast and his agenda should be painfully clear to all observers now, even those demented liberals who once believed and reveled in the lie. The squatter in our house conducts the affairs of his criminal administration from a posture that recognizes the  American people as the enemy. Their goals and overwhelming driving force in every regard is geared towards the subjugation of our rights of self-determination and the insertion of their illegitimate authoritarian government as a mechanism of control, an obstacle to the exercise of our free will and an impediment to the rights codified in the Constitution. This regime works incessantly to enslave the American people at every turn. None of the unconstitutional actions of this illegitimate anti-American imposter should be given the standing of the office and should be immediately challenged by the House and a trial held in the Senate. We’ve lost our representatives.  Aside from the Senator from Alabama who wrote the short message below, we’re basically devoid of a Congress in any regard other than as a destructive force that exists in name only.

13 Hours Confirms nObama’s and

Hilly Clinton’s Lies about Benghazi

Deroy Murdock

.

.

{aim.org} ~ It is impossible to experience the gripping new film 13 Hours and escape this conclusion: nObama and Hilly Clinton have lied through their teeth, gums, and cheeks about Benghazi... Despite nObama’s and Clinton’s recurring lies to the contrary, the deadly attacks of September 11, 2012, on U.S. diplomatic and intelligence facilities in Benghazi, Libya, had no connection with political protests. In director Michael Bay’s political-action thriller, which Paramount Pictures calls “a true story,” these two outposts get slammed ferociously by growing waves of well-armed jihadists who know exactly what they are doing. As if mocking nObama’s and Clinton’s lies, they do not drop their picket signs and then suddenly grab grenades, rocket launchers, and mortar shells. Instead, these killers skip the placards and head straight for the firepower. None of Benghazi’s mayhem depicted in 13 Hours involves Innocence of Muslims, the anti-Mohammed Internet video that nObama and Clinton faulted for the deaths of Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens, State Department technical officer Sean Smith, and private security contractors and former Navy SEALS Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. This disconnect reinforces the untruth of nObama’s and Clinton’s synthetic claim.        http://www.aim.org/guest-column/13-hours-confirms-obamas-and-hillary-clintons-lies-about-benghazi/?utm_source=AIM+-+Daily+Email&utm_campaign=email012516&utm_medium=email

Israel Sees Short and Long-term

Repercussions in Iranian Sanctions Relief

Yaakov Lappin

.

{investigativeproject.org} ~ Away from the vociferous disputes that continue to rage around the Iranian nuclear deal, the Israel's Military Intelligence Directorate and General Staff have been engaged in detached analysis of the short and long-term effects, and they have come away with three central conclusions... Details of their assessments, though shared with defense reporters over recent months, were publicly presented for the first last week by IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Gadi Eisenkot during a conference in Tel Aviv, organized by the Institute for National Security Studies. The most immediate consequence of the nuclear deal will be felt in the realm of expanding Iranian regional influence, and the looming increase in the trafficking of weapons and funds to terror organizations, made possible by sanctions relief.

Malkin: Mayor de Blasio:

Hypocrite Hooked on Hollywood Cash

Michelle Malkin

.

.

{truthrevolt.org} ~ Because the crime rate is zero, the potholes are all fixed and homelessness has been completely eradicated, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio now has time to focus on what really matters to Big Apple taxpayers:

.
Racial quotas in Hollywood.

.
Social justice warrior de Blasio took to Twitter last week to lambaste the 2016 Academy Awards nominations, which did not include any black actors or actresses.

.
"#OscarsSoWhite says it all," de Blasio carped. "Wife @Chirlane and I are sick of only one kind of America being celebrated."

.
Radical race-hustling director Spike Lee is leading a boycott of the awards ceremony scheduled next month in Los Angeles. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith, whose actor/director husband Will Smith was snubbed for his performance in the NFL drama "Concussion," took to Facebook this week to rally "people of color" not to watch or attend the gala event. Director Michael Moore hitched himself to the whiny wagon of 1 percenters. Pressure is mounting on host and comedian Chris Rock to bow out in solidarity.

.
A panicked Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences who is black, is promising expedited "change" to mollify the grievance mob led by shakedown artist Al Sharpton.

.
They'll never admit it, but for the guardians of the Academy, "change" means inevitable quota-based admissions to their elite club, where new candidates must traditionally be sponsored by two current members and demonstrate "exceptional achievement in the field of theatrical motion pictures."

.
The transformation is "not coming as fast as we would like," Isaacs bleated as she vowed to take more aggressive steps to "diversify" as part of the Academy's "A2020" plan.

.
Is this what "people of color" in the performing arts really want?

.
Fealty based first and foremost on skin tone and not on talent and ability?

.
Specially appointed members of the Academy chosen solely because of their race, gender or oppressed status who will be beholden to vote only for fellow tokens from their respective tribes?

.
What exactly will make the likes of Spike Lee and company happy if not de facto or de jure Oscars quotas and affirmative action points for minority entertainers?

.
Do they think ghettoized new categories for "Best Black Actor" and "Best Black Actress" constitute progress and equality?

.
Do they honestly believe that casting doubt on the achievements of all non-white thespians who earn nominations as a result of this politically correct hectoring is good for the profession?

.
Now, let's call de Blasio and his bean-counting wife out on the red carpet.

.
If this "diversity"-driven duo is truly "sick" of Hollywood's white cis-hetero-patriarchal oppressors, are they ready to boycott the billions that the entertainment industry pours into New York City until their utopian ideals of manufactured racial parity are achieved?

.
In an open love letter to Tinseltown in 2014, de Blasio boasted that since 2004, "Hollywood's financial imprint on our city has grown from $5 billion to $7.1 billion." The self-proclaimed warrior against income inequality enthusiastically doubled down on government subsidy programs to the Hollywood elite, vowing to "maintain the policies and practices that spurred this expansion while strategically investing in new projects to grow and diversify the industry."

.
"Investing," of course, means using the power of government to redistribute the hard-earned tax dollars of lower- and middle-income workers to millionaire and billionaire studio owners in the TV and film industry. On top of the city's subsidies, New York State offers myriad special tax breaks, credits, and rebates worth an estimated $420 million to lure Hollywood to the East Coast.

.
De Blasio's bowing and scraping bordered on an R-rating. "In New York City, the TV and film industry has a true partner," he gushed, "not to mention a mayor who will always be slightly in awe of the work you do."

.
Hooked on Hollywood cash, de Blasio's outrage about #OscarsSoWhite is so contrived it bounces like a fake check.

.
As usual, the left's hashtag warriors are all show and no go.
