As an addendum to the Easy Dog Journal (if I may), on this day in 1944, Cpl. Corado Ciarlo was killed in action in the Anzio breakout somewhere south of Rome. He was one month shy of his 21st birthday.

His story was featured in Ken Burns' "The War."

RIP Babe.

5 Some of you may know that I live in Manhattan, right on the border of SoHo and the Village - one of the more tony areas of town.

In just the past year, the appearance of derelicts, vagrants, bums, scum and salty characters of all stripes has increased beyond belief.

Thank you, and fuck you, Bill DeBlasio and all the leftists. You're destroying my hometown.

7 DePaul continues to embarrass itself. There is a barely sentinent member of the faculty engaged in a twitter war with Iowahawk, and the twit actually had the balls to compare Milo's speech to someone "defending the Rwandan genocide". Fuckin' A. Milo is defending genocide now.

Not only is the left fully weaponized and aggressive even in ridiculous situations, they are fueled primarily by Brawndo.

9 Fridge repair help please.

My old Kenmore side by side water dispenser is not just leaking - it's flowing water. We turned off the water shutoff valve going into the fridge for now.

Last year we had a problem with it dripping, and with horde advice we checked the house water pressure and sure enough it was way too high, so we fixed that. The house water pressure is still good.

So what can we fix in the fridge water dispenser?

Thanks.

15 Barack Obama on Friday paid tribute to the "silent cry" of the 140,000 people killed by the world's first atomic bomb attack and sought to renew attention in his unfulfilled vision of a world without nuclear weapons, as he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Hiroshima.

Has the queen visited Pearl Harbor? Or Wake Island? Or the Philippines? Nope that wouldn't be anti-American.

Obama did not apologize, instead offering, in a carefully choreographed display, a reflection on the horrors of war and his hope that Hiroshima would be remembered as the beginning of a "moral awakening."

Carefully choreographed displayed of his usual anti-American crap

The GOPe needs to pack up their tents, roll up the red carpet, put away their clown shoes, and fade away into nothingness. An organization where the elite have lived their lives has allowed in a matter of months an outsider to bull his way in and take over. What exactly is the GOPe known for, and what exactly do they do?

39 JJ, I don't live in a tony part of town (just the beginnings of the 'burbs), but there has been a yuuuge jump n homeless beggars since they legalized pot in CO. So many more young people among them. Friend who's a longtime volunteer at the big homeless day shelter in town says they've got 3x more men visiting daily.

So, I guess, pray NYC doesn't do that, too, or your neighborhood will get even worse.

"Nah, you're just paralyzed by your fear of them."

Along with "Shoah," I make it a point to watch "The War" every Memorial Day but I have not done so in the past 2 years because I find myself sobbing uncontrollably by the end of each episode. I thought just the opposite would happen but it just got worse and worse each year. Babe Ciarlo's story mirrors my uncle's in many ways, so it hits somewhat near to home.

Aside from one moment, the show is miraculously devoid of moral equivalency and leftism. The big exception being how blacks and Japanese Americans were treated, which in fairness was a big part of the story of the home front during the war.

It is very much worth seeing, despite being a Ken Burns film.

Nations
arise telling a story that binds people together in sacrifice and
cooperation, allowing for remarkable feats. But those same stories have
so often been used to oppress and dehumanize those who are different.

Science
allows us to communicate across the seas and fly above the clouds, to
cure disease and understand the cosmos, but those same discoveries can
be turned into ever more efficient killing machines.

The
wars of the modern age teach us this truth. Hiroshima teaches this
truth. Technological progress without an equivalent progress in human
institutions can doom us. The scientific revolution that led to the
splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.
Stories???
Moral revolution? So we need to change our morals as science advances?

Bob Corker is a blackmailed crook. Obama will probably have Corker thrown in jail as soon as Obama is through wiping his ass with Corker.

The above is a theory based on Corker's rhetoric and behavior and press reports of a federal investigation. I have no special knowledge.

Corker is foolish to think Obama would keep Obama's agreements. Obama is worse than the Russians. At least the Russians keep the letter if not the spirit of any agreement.

Posted by: @votermom at May 27, 2016 08:22 AM (7lVbc)

When solenoid valves fail, they do it one of three ways.

1) They don't open at all. (usually power is not getting to them)

2) They get a small bit of something stuck in them preventing them from shutting fully. (this would make them leak slowly)

3) They break the return spring or something else and get stuck fully open.

Rarely, the micro switch at the outlet (in the door) has an arc and fuses closed, thus providing power to the solenoid valve all the time. You can check this by pulling the connector off of the terminals on the valve assembly. If the water stops flowing, you need to check the switch for continuity.

Or something like that.

120 Good morning all.
The breakout at Anzio is accelerating

EZ Dog Journal from this date in 1944-

May 27, 1944
The axis of attack was changed with the main effort now going towards Lanuvio and up the railway towards Albano. 1 AD was pulled from the Artena sector and put in with the 45th Div. Our lines now read from left to right - 5 Div (Br), 1 Div (Br) (both belonging to the 5th army), 1 AD and 45th Div, 34th Div, 3d Div and SSF. All fronts are progressing fairly well though resistance is tougher. 3d Div took Artena. II Corps is moving up to take over the sector on our right.
I took a jeep ride up through Cori to see the havoc. At least 12 Tiger tanks (and they are really big) are knocked out along the road. Trucks, SP's, motor-cycles and command cars are smashed up all through the area. Guns are blown up from 150's to AT guns. Gerry hurt awfully bad on that retreat. Even a few of those "good" Krauts are laying around yet, too.

General Mark Clark couldn't resist the allure and fame associated with liberating Rome, so instead of encircling the Germans still along the Gustav Line, he ordered the Allied forces to take a hard left turn and head for lightly occupied Rome, leaving several German Divisions an opportunity to withdraw to northern Italy and remain in the war.

That's wonderful that you've been sleeping ok!

I have a suggestion a which helps me - it's based on "votermom' s theory of fake it til you make it prayer therapy"
Take a moment every morning, ideally when you wake up, to say out loud: "Thank you God, for this day."

Throughout the day, when you feel the dark dog of depression, breathe and say "God give me strength" or something like that.

You don't have to believe in God to ask him for help.
If He does not exist, no harm, no foul.
If He does exist, He can help.

149 I hope someone does an article about that - how lefties screw up their homes, move someplace else, and start the process of befoulment all over again. It's as if they can't connect the befoulment to their activism. Maybe it really is a mental illness.

I usually accompany the beef with steamed spinach and a handful of steamed garlic cloves covered in melted butter. Whole steamed garlic cloves are not nearly as strong as raw garlic but are delicious and good for the heart.

That is really what I need to do. It wouldn't magically turn me happy overnight, but it would sure as hell keep me from being so unhappy in the mornings.

I will never understand this. It's the same thing with Californians. They flee their oppressive shithole state to a freer, better state, then work tirelessly to turn their new home into the same oppressive shithole they just fled.

Then it's time to "flea" dip them. Tell them to straighten up and stop the lefty bullshit, or they can go right back to the hellhole they came from.

I think you might be surprised at how quickly your state of mind turns positive once you finally stop. I've been struggling with the stuff for 6 years since my marriage came apart and finally just had to make the change. That's a Hell of a long time for someone who was sober 10 years before life fell apart. Life would have turned around a lot sooner had I quit earlier. Now I am on the right track.

168 i think one drink a day can be healthy.

But, you know, it has to be, one drink - not a glass full of bourbon or whatever.

and, it's my belief, that it should be with or just before dinner.

So, one glass of wine, one beer, or one cocktail.

Occasionally, two is okay.

But, yeah, sitting and drinking a lot alone at night helps no one.

180 Seamus Muldoon, I found a bunch of old phot slides at the family's Cape cottage a couple years ago, scanned them into digital imagaes. Anyway, one set, about 2 dozen photos, is a series of pics of (I believe) one of my great uncles during WW2. Still trying to get the info. on his unit, etc., but in one pic he's standing next to a big sign saying "You are now Entering Austria Courtesy of VI Army Corps- Salerno, Volturno, Anzio, Rome, S. France, Alsace, Rhine, Danube, Germany". Another pic is of two guys standing next to a large stone marker inscribed "Brennero", which I assume marks the Brenner Pass.
Other pics are of guys goofing off, blown bridges, destroyed city blocks, and creepily, one highway sign indicating "21 km to Dachau".

There has been a lot of public outcry here in NH to do just that. Save a few of the VA facilities (San Antonio, other specialized treatment hospitals), but ditch the rest. Give our vets the same health plan that Congress gets (they deserve absolutely no less) and let them use local hospitals/doctors. No more red tape. And Id go out on a limb and say it will be far cheaper.

That find sounds really interesting. Any other identifying info on any of the photos?

For years, my dad kept in the bottom drawer of the desk in his den (strictly off limits to us kids, but you know kids) a black and white several page booklet (I'm guessing a U.S. Army publication) entitle Dachau. The photos of emaciated, hollow-eyed survivors and piles of emaciated corpses were haunting.

So the only noteworthy things about religion in Obama's world are:

--- The all promise a pathway to love and peace
---The all inspire killers

Dunno. I look at Christianity and see it inspiring a heck of a lot more than person gain or vengeance, whether it's great art/music, or great works of humanitarianism, such as caring for those in need, ending slavery, being part of the foundation for western civilization.

264 I visited Birkenau i 1991. It looks much different today. Then, the place was falling apart. When I got there, a student tour was leaving. There were workers mowing the grass between the train tracks and there was an overwhelming odor of fresh hay. It was very dark with rain clouds. I wondered around where crema 2 & 3 once stood. When it started raining I ran into the nearest hut for cover. So, I'm waiting it out in this dark hut and started looking around. There was one recessed area where they had decorative tiles. The tiles depicted happy concentration camp prisoners working with some nonsense label about how happy they were working. Can you imagine that shite? I had seen something similar at Dachau. Man, the nazis sure had a sick sense of humor. The work the inhabitants of the hut I was in was getting the people in and out of the gas chambers and then burning the bodies.

That is of course a person's right but Trump while odious and a dick is not a malignant willfully evil and anti-US interest fuckhead like Grammy.

A long time ago, when I lived in California, at the entrance to one of the municipal garages in San Francisco sat a wheelchair that was passed from panhandler to panhandler. If you were lucky you could see the transfer. It was hilarious.

For all I know it is still there.

314 264 I visited Birkenau i 1991. It looks much different today. Then, the place was falling apart. When I got there, a student tour was leaving. There were workers mowing the grass between the train tracks and there was an overwhelming odor of fresh hay. It was very dark with rain clouds. I wondered around where crema 2 & 3 once stood. When it started raining I ran into the nearest hut for cover. So, I'm waiting it out in this dark hut and started looking around. There was one recessed area where they had decorative tiles. The tiles depicted happy concentration camp prisoners working with some nonsense label about how happy they were working. Can you imagine that shite? I had seen something similar at Dachau. Man, the nazis sure had a sick sense of humor. The work the inhabitants of the hut I was in was getting the people in and out of the gas chambers and then burning the bodies.
Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at May 27, 2016 09:29 AM (iQIUe)

We have been to Dachau (200

and Treblinka (2009). Dachau was well-preserved, and the documentation of what took place still available. Treblinka was completely destroyed, almost down to the foundations-you had to ask locals how to find it. The reason? Western allies were first in Dachau, and after finding out what was happening there, made sure the Germans didn't destroy anything. In Treblinka, the Soviets were there, gave the Germans time to destroy any papers describing the purpose of the camp, as well as to get rid of any inmates and personnel.

I presume the Soviets did that because A) similar opinion of Jews B) interest in mass annihilation of enemies. I can't support that theory, no evidence, but after reading of the pre-War rapprochement of German and the Soviet Union, and of the Soviet's delay in helping Poles towards the end of the war, those are my best guesses.

Some Russian leaders said that Josef Stalin was about to embark on his own Jewish Genocide in 1953 before he suddenly died. He had already started the Doctor's Plot Purges of the Jewish doctors, and was going to expand it to all the Jews. Others said he wasn't, and was even planning on rehabilitating the surviving Jewish victims of the Doctors Plot.

Thankfully Beria killed him, so we never found out. The Politiboro did rehabilitate the survivors.

The Poles harbor far more ill will towards the Russians than the Germans. It also doesn't help that the Russian Embassy in Warsaw covers three-four entire city blocks, and the employees are all housed, schooled and fed from the massive garden on those blocks.

Well let's see. If there is no "security test", then I suppose we could "ban all the Muslims" instead.
But the wannabe terrorists could just claim they were Christian refugees instead, and come in that way. Since there is no security test, and since the entrance criteria instead are based on religion, who is going to stop the fake Christians from coming in?

The Poles harbor far more ill will towards the Russians than the Germans. It also doesn't help that the Russian Embassy in Warsaw covers three-four entire city blocks, and the employees are all housed, schooled and fed from the massive garden on those blocks. It is also higher than any other building in Warsaw, except for the Cultural Building, which was built by the Soviets. Yeah, the Poles still hate them with a white hot passion.

Posted by: Moki at May 27, 2016 10:01 AM (ezHMO)

The Russians and Poles have been traditional enemies for centuries. And the Russians had a major case of butt-hurt when they invaded Poland and got their asses handed to them at the gates of Warsaw back in the early 1920s.

I've long felt that the Soviet backstabbing of the Poles had a lot to do with the humiliation of the Red Army's first serious defeat.

Well no, it doesn't bring us anywhere other than acknowledging that Ryan was responding to a question about whether or not we should have a religious test for immigrants which last I looked is illegal.

As to stopping Obama I'm not sure what Congress can do. The President and his administration are given a lot of latitude under the Refugee Act of 1980. For instance, the act says that the US can take in up to 50,000 refugees annually unless the President asks for more. What would you suggest they do?

Our biggest problem is that previous generations did not expect us to elect a totally lawless President and administration. The normal checks and balances that we expect of good public servants are a joke to this administration. It was Republicans that forced Nixon out. Democrats do not play by the same rules.

You can make the same argument about a RELIGIOUS TEST. The wannabe jihadists could just claim they were Christian in order to sneak in.

So I don't see how suggesting a "SECURITY TEST" is any more sinister than suggesting a "RELIGIOUS TEST".

============

I'm pretty sure that after the revolt in 1943, the germans started tearing down Treblinka. They had liquidated the largest ghetto, Warsaw, and Birkenau had just opened. There was a lot of grave digging by locals for valuables the nazis had missed. In fact, it still goes on today outside the main camp the caretakers find evidence of digging. The soviets did do an investigation and there are photos. Remains of corpses and bones were still scattered over the camp due to the grave robbing. You can find photos on the internet.

I don't know. I don't know if he has actually proposed one.

398 Belzec was another camp that served its purpose and the nazis began closing but not before they dug up all the bodies and burned them.

In the 90, they had a problem with remains being exposed and migrating outside the camp. The camp was on in incline and very close to the village. So, they tried to relocate them, put in paths so people would not be walking on the graves. Big project. Well, it didnt work. The remains kept moving.So, they did this thing where they piled huge rocks on the site and then some sort of poly something to keep the remains from migrating. Looks strange but they had to do it.

401 You can do security reviews of Iradi and Syrian refugees. It will be god damned hard though. Many won't have any papers, and some of the papers will be forgeries.

Want to find out if they are Christians? Question them. Theology and doctrine. Which church did you attend? Where was it? What did it look like outside, inside, etc. Who was the priest?

Name a dozen fellow parishioners. Any here in the camp? Any in other camps, cities or villages? Where was your house? Describe it inside and out. Where did your fellow parishioners live? Describe their houses, etc.? Where did you shop, go to school, etc. The entire family better have the same story, or you know they are up to no good.

And find about three to six people that can confirm all these stories after you ask them all the same questions. Show them photo arrays. Pick out the right people.

Any discrepancies? Double the number of people asked, and keep asking the person and their entire family the same questions again and again. Show them photo arrays. Pick out your fellow parishioners, your neighbors, the mayor, your grocer.

How?
Let's think through this for a moment. Instead of a religious test, one could, say, ban refugees from coming in who are in ISIS-controlled parts of the world. Such as this: http://tinyurl.com/zmjafkr
And then if a wannabee terrorist from Syria claimed to be from somewhere else, we could demand proof in some way that the refugee really is from the country they say they are from. If they can't provide proof, then we don't let them in. That sounds straightforward enough. Yes yes there could be forged documents and the like, but as a first attempt, it places the burden of proof on the refugee to prove that they meet the standards that we have placed.
On the other hand, if the government "bans Muslims", and then a wannabe terrorist from Syria claims to be Christian instead, the burden of proof effectively is placed on the government to prove that they are not a Muslim, because there is no way for an individual to prove that one is a member of a particular religion or not.

If you are going to go to great lengths to interrogate each potential refugee - which I agree, is a wise idea - then instead of interrogating them about their faith, why not interrogate them about, you know, their actual connections to terrorist activity? Which is the *real reason* why we are so concerned about letting them in, after all.
So we could do all that you suggest - demand that they provide character references for proving that they are who they say they are - but in terms of their potential terrorist connections, not in terms of their faith.
