| November 4th, 2013 | Headsman
On this date in 2005, Hastings Arthur Wise was executed in South Carolina for a shooting rampage at his workplace. Or
rather — and this was the problem — his former workplace. Canned from his machine-operator job of four years at the Aiken County R.E. Phelon engine manufacturing plant that July, Wise warned that he’d be back. On September 15, 1997, he turned up packing a 9 mm pistol and exacted his revenge — just another of America’s endless cavalcade of mass shootings. He shot a guard to get into the plant. The guard survived, but four others were not...

After a night fending off attacks from enemy torpedo boats, almost every man of the convoy, young and old alike, was now sleepwalking. A
rating on the escort destroyer Ashanti said: ‘Most of us were bloody knackered, absolutely exhausted by the effort, the constant concentration.’ There was to be no let-up. That morning in August 1942 the weather over the Mediterranean was good enough to favour new air attackers. Three Italian bombers were seen lingering on the horizon, beyond range of the ships’ guns, obviously reporting the new British position. Then out of the sky a dozen German bombers came...

Convoy of carnage: A heroic British flotilla planned to save Malta from starvation in 1942... but U-boats were ready to pick off our ships like sitting ducks, writes MAX HASTINGS in one of the most dramatic forgotten chapters of the war

Since 1815, the island of Malta had been viewed as one of the jewels in Britain’s crown of empire — a vital way-station to the East and a sun-baked fortress that showcased the Royal Navy’s dominance of the Mediterranean. But in the summer of 1942 it was the only surviving British bastion
in the central Mediterranean, beleaguered, tottering and close to capitulation. Constant attack from as many as 300 aircraft in 24 hours — the Italians by day, the Germans by night — had left more than a thousand people dead, 4,500 injured and 15,500 homes destroyed. Its Grand Harbour...

| 4/6/21 | Christian Nunley
Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., died Tuesday after a more than two-year bout with pancreatic cancer, NBC News confirmed. Hastings,
who served in the House for nearly three decades, was 84. Throughout his career, he held several key committee assignments and leadership positions, most recently as vice chairman of the Rules Committee. After the congressman’s death, Democrats hold a narrow 218-211 advantage in the House, giving the party a small margin for error in passing legislation. Six seats are vacant. Hastings, a former federal district court judge, was impeached in 1988 amid accusations of bribery and perjury. The Senate voted to...

Longtime Democratic Rep. Alcee Hastings (D), the dean of the Florida congressional delegation, died Tuesday after a battle with pancreatic cancer, two leadership sources confirmed. He

Nearly a decade later, he was impeached by the House for bribery and perjury, and convicted by the Senate, making him only the sixth federal judge in U.S. history to be ousted from office by the Senate. Hastings later made an unlikely political comeback in 1992, winning a...

Who better to set the rules for Trump’s impeachment trial than a guy who has actually been impeached? That’s
right, the Democrats, in all their infinite wisdom, appointed Alcee Hastings as the vice chair of the rules committee. Hastings went through an impeachment trial in 1988 on a bevy of crimes he committed while serving as a federal judge. Playing in the Democrat sandbox, the disgraced ex-judge was elected to congress by the crazed liberals. ...

At 2.47 on the morning of January 31, 1968, an American military policeman sent an emergency radio message from his post outside a U.S. embassy on the far side of the world: ‘Signal 300! They’re
coming in! Help me! Help me!’ — before being shot dead, along with another guard. The soldier’s terrified warning, out of the darkness half a century ago, signalled the onset of the most devastating attack on American pride and prestige since Pearl Harbor in 1941. Viet Cong commandos spilled out of a taxi and a small truck in front of the embassy compound in Saigon,...
