A First Lady Thought Experiment

For a moment, let us consider something. Let us assume that A Democrat gets elected, his wife is gorgeous, fluently speaks 5 or 6 languages, was a model (and still could be one), is a successful designer and business woman independent of her husband all while being a great mom to their child…and she is an immigrant to boot! My Lord! This is the poster child for the empowered immigrant woman in America!

How, pray, does the media handle that woman? We would never hear the end about how wonderful and powerful and fashionable she is…und so weiter.

Ah, but here is the rub…in this case she is married to an American First President and she is not an immigrant from one of the select countries. You know, those select countries where the liberals can feel good about making a voting slave out of their little brown or black playthings. This first lady is not a toy or a vehicle for virtue signaling, nor does she want or need the liberals help. Therefore, since she is of no use to them; she is then a threat, she gets mauled.

Do note the difference in the ‘celebration of immigrants’ on the left, and then jam it down a liberal’s throat.

That picture right there is flat out Sinatra Cool.
(with no fake halos)

So let’s have some fun:

We don’t need to see either of their faces, Their silhouettes are well known (Trumps got some big shoulders). This pic is power. It’s glamor. It’s success, It’s almost perfect. *It would be too cool for publication if her right arm did not obscure the curve and lighting of the curvature of her back with the juxtaposition of the vertical stabilizer of air force one, her left calf is perfect with those heels.  but i digress* . There is motion toward by both of them showing an innate need to be with each other; the rule of thirds is maintained perfectly by the silent and stoic presence of Air Force 1 that by its mere presence always reminds the new President of his awesome duties. Trump coming up the steps shows the ascendancy of the new President, his climb tempered by always needing the powerful self-made woman that is his equal and who he loves. She is seen to be figuratively holding the wing of Air Force One with her left hand, uplifting the President and the country by her own independent efforts….et cetera…  that, me droogies is what we would be reading by the press if these two were globalists uni-party scum.  I saved yinz the effort. Yinz is welcome.

Yinz read the photo breakdown here because yours truly did a summer at the Governor’s School for the Arts in photography in HS, when we still used film and chemicals, and enlargers and analog timers…analog. sweep second hands. 😆 huh… Well, i have a 1965 Gra-Lab 300 timer (no zip-code on the data plate, i bought it used in 1983) from my darkroom is still used daily in my kitchen; every time i move a hand or throw a switch it makes me smile. analog….Now that i think about it, that Gra-Lab timer box has been with me for over 30 years. Besides my red acoustic guitar, that is my oldest continuous and in use possession. But I digress to do a post about timers n’at later….

This administration is real glamour and class. The Adults are in charge again. Melania is 46 and rocks those heels.

 

As and aside…How does the ‘pro-immigrant’ Left handle my immigrant wife? Mrs Coldwarrior  speaks three languages and is an accomplished and highly respected senior neuro-trauma RN at one of the top trauma and neuro-surgery hospitals in the world, and is the most awesome mother of 3, and wife to me (that should be an honor in itself, the poor girl).  Oh, she’s from the wrong country and is too euro and too Orthodox to be counted as an immigrant, and she’s a YUGE Trump Supporter. The left hates her.

 

So, let’s do something fun: Place Hilary and Bill in this shot, or the other set of ghetto fabulous grifters.

That’s one of those images that you can mentally reverse, like this one:

The technical term for the illusion is “The Twirling Little Naked Vixen Effect.”
Here’s another:

If you reverse it quickly several times it gets kinda Freudian and you’ll have to go to confession for having those impure thoughts. Speaking of impure thoughts (now that you’re already guilty as hell for having them) you might as well have some more on this edition of The Overnight Open Thread.

For those of you unfamiliar with the Battle of the Ia Drang Valley and the radical quantum leap that the Air Cavalry, under then LTC Moore, brought to warfare may I suggest reading this book: e Were Soldiers Once…and Young: Ia Drang: The Battle that Changed the War in Vietnam. The movie is also worth the time.

“We Were Soldiers” Legend Lieutenant General Hal Moore Dies
By Chevel Johnson
February 13, 2017
Retired Lt. Gen. Harold G. “Hal” Moore, the American hero known for saving most of his men in the first major battle between the U.S. and North Vietnamese armies, has died. He was 94.

Joseph Galloway, who with Moore co-authored the book “We Were Soldiers Once … and Young,” confirmed Saturday to The Associated Press that Moore died late Friday in his sleep at his home in Auburn, Alabama.

Galloway said Moore, his friend of 51 years, died two days shy of his 95th birthday.

“There’s something missing on this earth now. We’ve lost a great warrior, a great soldier, a great human being and my best friend. They don’t make them like him anymore,” Galloway said.

Moore was best known for his actions at the 1965 Battle of Ia Drang, where he was a lieutenant colonel in command of the 1st Battalion, 7th Cavalry Regiment. His actions were later reflected in the movie “We Were Soldiers” in which actor Mel Gibson portrayed Moore. The book tells what happened to virtually every trooper involved in the 34-day campaign and the climactic four-day battle in which 234 Americans died at landing zones X-Ray and Albany in November 1965.

Galloway, a former war correspondent for United Press International, said Moore was “without question, one of the finest commanders I ever saw in action.”

“Those of us who survived Landing Zone X-Ray survived because of his brilliance of command. I think every one of us thought we were going to die at that place except Hal Moore. He was certain we were going to win that fight and he was right,” Galloway recalled.

Galloway and Moore wrote a second book, “We Are Soldiers Still,” which he said grew out of a journey back to the battlefields of Vietnam 25 years later. “We went back and walked those old battlefields. At the end of the day, Hal Moore and Col. Nguyen Huu An, the North Vietnamese commander, stood in a circle in the clearing and prayed for the souls of every man who died on both sides.”

He said the two shared an “instant brotherhood that grew out of combat.”

“When we were discussing the book contract with a lawyer/agent, he asked to see the contract between me and Hal Moore, and Hal Moore said ‘I don’t think you understand. This isn’t just a matter of money. We have trusted each other with our lives in battle and we have no contract before that.’ I absolutely agreed.”

On a Facebook page managed by Moore’s family, relatives said he died on the birthday of his wife, Julia, who died in 2004 after 55 years of marriage.

“Mom called Dad home on her day,” the statement said. “After having a stroke last week, Dad was more lethargic and had difficulty speaking, but he had always fought his way back.”

Before serving in Vietnam, Moore graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point and then commanded a battalion in the newly formed air mobile 11th Air Assault Division at Fort Benning.

Born in Bardstown, Kentucky, he served in the U.S. military for 32 years.

Galloway said the family has tentatively scheduled a religious service Friday in Auburn and a memorial service at the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning Army Base in Columbus, Georgia.
