  • Lt. Col. Richard Cole, the Last Doolittle Raider, Dies at Age 103

    (Photo credit United State Air Force) Sad news—the last Doolittle Raider has died. Lt. Col. Richard Cole passed away Monday at the age of 103. Cole was the final surviving member of the daring raid on Tokyo by carrier-launched B-25s. As I wrote for his 100th birthday in 2015: Col. Richard Cole was the co-pilot of "Crew 1," which means he sat alongside Col. Jimmy Doolittle at the tip of the tip of the American spear aimed at Imperial Japan. The Doolittle Raid on April 18, 1942, was a virtual suicide mission. It was a daring sea-launched bombing mission...

    Fox News host Sean Hannity said tonight that colleague Jeanine Pirro’s Saturday show would return this weekend after a two-week absence. Hannity was doing a phone interview with President Donald Trump on his Wednesday night show when he made the remark. Fox News has not yet confirmed that Pirro will return. Pirro’s regular Saturday night program Justice with Judge Jeanine, was yanked for two weeks of documentary programming after she questioned Rep. Illhan Omar’s Muslim religious beliefs and whether they were at-odds with the US Constitution.

    "Together, we are building a safe, strong, and proud America." IGNITING A HISTORIC ECONOMIC BOOM: President Trump’s pro-growth policies are unleashing economic growth and providing opportunities to workers across the country. Due to President Trump’s pro-growth policies, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth exceeded 3 percent over the last four quarters. Real GDP grew at annual rates of 3.4 percent in the third quarter of 2018 and 4.2 percent in the second quarter. More than 5 million jobs have been created since President Trump’s election and the unemployment rate remains below 4 percent. This is the eighth time this year...

    The White House on Tuesday announced the re-nomination of 51 federal judicial nominees left over from the previous Congress, kickstarting the administration's effort to install more conservative judges after GOP activists worried that such appointments had stalled.Nine of the 51 appointments are for spots on prestigious and influential federal appellate benches, including two on the mostly liberal San Francisco-based 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, which President Trump has often derided as "disgraceful" and politically biased.Neomi Rao, the president's "regulatory czar," who would take now-Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh's vacated seat on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, is on the list.  Case Western...

    Prayer Warriors have seen this but we need everyone to offer prayers for Richie. Picture a few months old but the only one I have available. First a little history .... The last week of November, Richie received several vaccines which included the flu vaccine. On December 2nd, he was hospitalized with paralysis of his arms and legs. He was put on a respirator and the outlook was bleak. I posted a note on FB asking for prayers from family and friends. Richie is the grandson of a cousin who is more like a little brother than a cousin.

    Exercise increased caution in China due to arbitrary enforcement of local laws as well as special restrictions on dual U.S.-Chinese nationals. Chinese authorities have asserted broad authority to prohibit U.S. citizens from leaving China by using ‘exit bans,’ sometimes keeping U.S. citizens in China for years. China uses exit bans coercively: •to compel U.S. citizens to participate in Chinese government investigations, •to lure individuals back to China from abroad, and •to aid Chinese authorities in resolving civil disputes in favor of Chinese parties. In most cases, U.S. citizens only become aware of the exit ban when they attempt to depart...

    Conservative HQ ^ | 12/13/18 | George Rasley, CHQ Editor
    Yesterday, with the death of Admiral James “Ace” Lyons America lost a warrior of uncommon clarity of thought and directness of speech and action. Admiral Lyons’ career in the Navy spanned thirty-six years, from his days as a midshipman at Annapolis to service as Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet (at that time the largest single military command in the world), Senior U.S. Military Representative to the United Nations and Deputy Chief of Naval Operations. Although his interests and post-service commentary spanned the gamut of national security and defense issues, I became acquainted with Admiral Lyons through...

We kept in touch via snail mail, email and even phone calls with yet another freeper Appalachain Dweller. He actually came to my home years ago from his then home in Virginia and stayed over a week. We are still in close contact, he too is...
