The United States constant against the media and i think it is damaging both sides so my great concern is it is damaging thein press more. How has that changed . We saw this beginning in the campaign when first of all , the pundits as a whole did intake trump all that seriously as a sideshow of course he would never make it and everybody knew he would not beat e clinton. But but there were these gloom and doom prophecies about this controversy but we see that again now there is a sense in the Mainstream Press that many say about trumps presidency first that tells you that many reporters view him that he is unhinged or mentally unbalanced or incompetent but also a dictator with that range of descriptions.

The subtitle, gives it away, the secret history of israels targeted assassination but im taken by the title of the book that says rise and killed first. You say it comes from the babylonian town heard, if someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first.

It slowly began to sink can that there is something. That working in conjunction with this rising popularity of all things southern about the same time is going to make kentucky look appealing and another reason that the balance south was having a resurgence of popularity about this time in the late 1890s early 19 hundreds is because the daughters of confederate veterans are going all over the south and building memorials to the confederates. We got one in lexington. This is what started the entire research for me. I wondered whyi wondered why we can have a guy a horse in front of an old courthouse confederate guy who actually was courtmartialed always waiting for courtmartialed to take place when someone often because he lost control of his men. His own army is going to courtmartialed and. Now he is made into a hero in lexington. He was raised here. He is on this horse and still is downtown. Why could this happen when we were union state .
