Just when I’d lately been forelorn over perceived “disapperance” of some of my favorite Bloggers…BAM.
Checking on my stats this morning, I see some new linky love from the Victory Girls. Who’da thunk it? And I shall reciproKate, forthwith.
I loves me some Victory Girls!

Stephen Lawrence says: What do you mean by BO ? America, the United States of America is under attack and by the left joining under a false banner with BLM is attempting to say that peaceful protestors are law abiding Citizens doing nothing wrong. This is BS, and rightfully so as we are not sheep and certainly not too stupid. Wake up….

Michael says: Hello Victory Girls, I have been in the U.S. Army for over 9 years. I only have one deployment to Iraq in 2007-2008 as an Infantry soldier. I currently am a reserve soldier and attend school in Boston. Recently it has come to my attention that Marines and Soldiers have been limited by the ROE (Rules of Engagement). I can’t seem to fathom how this is not reported in the mainstream media or how this blatant violation of U.S. Servicemembers has not been recognized or discussed. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also realize the ROE is secret/confidential, which may be indicative of why this has not been discussed.
Thank You,
Michael
Michael,
I’ve actually worked on cases like what you describe for over 7 years. I absolutely agree with you and have written extensively on the subject. I tried looking for an email on your comment to contact you privately on this issue but I didn’t see one. If in fact you happen to stumble back across this and would like to talk more, you can contact me at kit@victorygirlsblog.com.
Best regards,
Kit

ALman says: Dear Victory Girls,
It has been said that this presidential election is among the most important in recent U.S.A. history. While this is true, it also serves to magnify the importance of all elections at every level of government – local, state, and federal. We must, must, remember this in the future. Regardless of the outcome of tomorrow’s vote, there is a tremendous amount of work needed to help restore a sense of the nation envisioned by the Founders.
Having visited your site from time-to-time, I am writing to thank you for the service rendered by you on behalf of this nation. You participate in the great national dialogue that has been ongoing for some time. Your attention to the issues, the debate surrounding them, and the willingness to be involved has assisted, along with the efforts of others, in “opening” our eyes and ears. I shudder to think where we would be had we only the national networks upon which to rely.
These are busy, tense, and stressful hours for the people of America. You have my thoughts and prayers. No reply to this message is sought or is necessary. Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
ALman

Ah, first time visitor here (and active-duty Navy.) Thanks for sticking up for us, for saying what we can’t (due to the non-political nature of our jobs.)
Thanks for your service, and rest assured that we’ll do our best on your behalf! If you ever want us to take a look at a specific issue, email me and I’ll make sure it gets done. 🙂

I am in my 60’s, a retired police lieutenant in Southern California and have been a conservative all my life. – Thank you! –

David Jayson says: Good morning Ladies,
Thanks for the awesome blog ! Like Ruthie, I too was raised by Democrats and the first time, I voted for Jimmy Carter because as you know, most first timers vote like their parents. It was a lesson learned. The second time I almost gave John Anderson my vote but came to my senses and Ronald Reagan won me over. I wound up joining the military soon after and have enjoyed my membership in our nations military to this day. 🙂
I was carried by a woman for nine months, raised by a woman (and a man who listened to his wife) and am married to a woman. They have been strong influences in my life so it’s no surprise that I was attracted to this blog that is run by women. This is a great site. Thanks for keeping me informed. Girl Power !!!!
Ladies – what an impressive site. Your graphics and design are stunning, and your postings pack quite a wallop. Don’t know why it took a link from The Blogfather for me to find you, but I’ll be back often.
Rock on…

Chris in N.Va. says: Kudos to you all!
What a refreshing and stimulating blogsite. As a USAF vet (married to a USN vet) it’s been frustrating to observe the ever-increasing castration of the military and deconstruction of our barely-democratic-republic country, from Carter (kill the rabbit!), through the “twofer” debacle of Bonnie and Clod (Willy & Hilly), and now enduring the clothes-less Imperial Rule of Ozymandias-on-the-Potomac (as I’ve referred to Barry-O ever since his ascension to the throne).
Keep up the good fight! I salute your efforts!
Respectful regards,
Chris

Message for Cassy,
Against the odds. Stephen is moving forward. BBC OUCH contacted us a few weeks ago, because they wanted to know what reaction Stephen is having within our community.
If you Google Stephen Green Nuthall you can read about the effect he is having locally and nationally. Below is the short film BBC OUCH have recently released about Stephen.
Sadly the new chairman of Nuthall Parish Council, (retired deputy head of an inner school with a life time in education), is hostile and has yet to acknowledge the good work Stephen is doing in our community.
Dealing with this at the moment
Best Wishes Grenville

Mike Davis says: Dear Victory Girls:
Your blog on the Ferguson, Mo situation is very fine, logical and respectful to our fellow Americans of color! So many American Women are in “Lockstep” with the political correct Liberal Lifestyle that has made me, a retired soldier, keep my own conservative opinions on the “low burner” even around my own wife of 41 years! I salute you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for the American ideals you have written of!
Sincerely,

Tim Mitcham says: Next to your names, would you all mind posting the initials you use when you respond to posts on FB?
Kate says: Tim do you mean on each comment or the actual posts we put on FB? Or do you mean right here, on our bios?
Tabitha says: I linked into one of your articles from a newsfeed and was completed distracted by the heading on your blog page, to the effect that I have not even read the article yet. Conservative for me is a way of life, not a political affiliation. Therefore I was shocked by the soft porn glaring at me (a half naked woman, literally) right next to the subtitle “conservative”! What an oxymoron! My Conservative way of life also places an emphasis on MODESTY and non-objectification of women through false sexual imagery. I would expect this from a liberal women’s blog. Not a so-called conservative one!
Kate says: Thanks Tabitha for visiting the blog. The pin-ups we use on the blog were popular with our GI’s and airmen during WW2. In fact, the pin-up you call “soft porn”, which I assume is the one in our header, is from a B-24 Bomber and hardly soft porn. You can see a photo of it at the link at the end of this comment. Our blog theme is WW2, an era we love, and draw great inspiration from. Your judgmental assessment about who we are as conservative women is not only silly, but completely false. I encourage you to be concerned about your own sexual imagery portrayed as you leave these kinds of poison comments, and leave us to ours. Thank you.
https://victorygirlsblog.com/her-name-was-rovin-redhead/
Well said, Kate. But in addition there’s another point I think should be made. In W.W.II American nose art images were Victory Girls and cartoons , e.g. Mickey Mouse; it was the Nazis who used death heads/skulls/ bones.
That sort of death imagery has now become popular in the U.S., IMO an example of how the left’s anti-life cultural attitudes have slowly infected w/o us even noticing.
I love the pieces all of you post, but when I first stumbled across your blog I was attracted by the fact you use back images that celebrate life and victory over evil.
Kate says: Charles I’m just tonight seeing your comment. Thank you. So much. 🙂
Jack says: Found your site by accident? I think not. Great writing and am sharing your website with all my conservative friends. Unfortunately my liberal friends cannot discuss politics in a rational manner since they choose to remain uninformed. They get extremely agitated when faced with facts and truth so I no longer try and provoke them, they just might have to rely on Obamacare to recover from their panic attacks.
Kate says: Jack so glad to have you here. Thanks for sharing the blog with your friends. 🙂

Kal says: Love your blog but had to ask why you chose the name Victory girls when in WWII that term was generally a teenaged girl or young woman who exhibited her patriotism by offering companionship, and often sex, to servicemen during World War II.
Just curious that all.
Kate says: Hi Kal
Actually the term Victory Girls had several meanings during WW2, including the one you mention. We chose the name from these photos which I had collected a few years ago before starting the blog:
By the way, we’ve had these 2 pictures sent to us from readers over and over again and used them on our FB page repeatedly. We like this meaning. 🙂
Victory Girls,
I invite your review of my explanation of the law and policy, fact basis – the why – of Operation Iraqi Freedom drawn from the primary sources of the mission.
Excerpt from the preface:
“Here is my latest attempt to set the record straight on Operation Iraqi Freedom by drawing on primary sources, including the Gulf War ceasefire UN Security Council resolutions that set the “governing standard of Iraqi compliance” (UNSCR 1441), the US law and policy to “bring Iraq into compliance with its international obligations” (P.L. 105-235), the conditions and precedents that set the stage for OIF, and the determinative fact findings of Iraq’s breach of ceasefire that triggered enforcement, to explain the law and policy, fact basis – i.e., the why – of the decision for OIF.”
On the law and the facts, the decision for OIF was correct. Yet prevalent misconceptions at the premise level about the grounds for OIF continue to skew the public discourse on national-security affairs as well as policy decision-making. I hope my explanation can help set the record straight.
Callmelennie says: Hey girls … that Arabic squiggle that you think means “We will not submit” — it’s actually “I will not submit.” (Len astaslim) That straight line with that little thingie buzzing over it that begins the long word is the letter “alif” which is the prefix used in front of verbs to denote “I” will do this (or am doing this) If you want to say we, you’ll just have to use the letter “nuun”, sillies. (len nestaslim). Or you might go with “Ghair Istislam” or “Ma Istislam” (no surrender)
And in answer to your question “Does this blog make my butt look big?” Damn right it does, that why I stopped to read it; I’m partial to that sort of thing
Kate says: You’re a Renaissance man, Lennie. 🙂
henry green says: I love your blog and check it every morning. Thank you and keep up the good work.
henry green says: By the way, one of your photos shows an attractive woman sitting in the cockpit of a P-38. A young officer stands on the left wing beside her. Unless I am mistaken, I believe that is Richard Bong, the leading American ace in WW2. He was killed in either late 1945 or early 1946 while testing an early variant of the F 80, which was one of America’s first jet fighters.
Big Dave says: OMG! I love you guys! I can not believe I have not found you before.
Your poster art work says it all. Where did you FIND that stuff? It is beyond clever. It speaks to your mission and goal better than words in many ways.
As a male I loved every single poster icon that I saw on this blog. I felt that the artwork was very empowering to conservative females. Someday it should be viewed as empowering to ALL women. We can only hope.
Is this artwork part of public domain, or created by your members? Your blog logo is awesome also.
I am working my way through your written material. You should be very proud what you have done and what you continue to do.
I am a strong supporter and avid fan.

John Wellings says: Many of us refer to California as LLL Land (The Land of the Liberal Left) but nevertheless, we were disgusted by the recent actions of the Oakland Mayor in warning the illegal and criminal element that ICE raids were about to take place. Surely, the Department of Justice should press charges for obstruction of justice against this official who has just displayed total disregard for the law of the land. In addition to facing Federal charges, she should be immediately fired. Her illegal behavior indicates not only her lack of concern for the safety of all the citizens of Oakland but also for all law-abiding US citizens. It is no wonder that we find so many Californians exiting the state to take up residence in Texas.

Frances Hixenbaugh says: This is one of the many conservativbe websites I subscribe to. Thank God for the conservatives out there who put their names and reputations on the line since our corrupt government is in the business of ruining reputations, lives, careers if certain persons are in their sites. Consider what John Brennan did to Congreswoman Michelle Bachman. Thank God our POTUS is a business man and not a politician. Actor Rip torn once said as a Deputy Sheriff in a film. EXTREME PREJUSICE, “there’s nothin’ any worse than a politician, unless it’s a child molestor.” Sometimes folks, they’re one and the same, as we’re increasingly finding out with the slushfund D.C.has for sexual harassment, and other such charges against our Congress!
Citizen Stan says: Wow, Marta Hernandez is a real potty mouth judging from her response today to a reader’s comment about General James Mattis. I certainly didn’t agree with the reader’s comment and thought it was over the top, but Hernandez’s vulgarity is something to behold. I assume the Marta Hernandez who responded is the same Marta Hernandez who writes for Victory Girls. If it is, I assume this is the same Marta who reponded to a comment I wrote by telling me to “piss off.” Is her vulgarity an attribute typically found in conservative women? I’ve never thought of conservatism as being marked by vulgarity, but then again I really don’t have an idea as to what it means to be a conservative today with Donald “Grab Em By The Kitty” Trump. It seems to me that the Republican Party has become the Trump Party along with all the negative attributes that go with Trump. All I know is that the women I know who probably think of themselves as conservative avoid trash talk and cussing, but that was before the rise of Trump. Maybe they are all cussing like sailors now that Trump in president, but I kind of doubt it.
This is the only site that I’ve come across in which writers for the site pile on readers for making critical comments about other writers on the site. I always assumed that writers who wrote political and cultural commentary had pretty thick skins, could stick up for themselves, and didn’t’ need the help of their colleagues to defend their viewpoints. You kind of remind me of a group of middle school mean girls with your snippy, snide, snarky, smarmy, sarcastic, condesening , snooty comments aimed at anybody who disagrees with members of your own in group.
Kate (editor), you seem to set the tone for this site as reflected by your comment in response to a January 2015 reader’s comment. The reader wrote that she was displeased with a pinup girl image on your site because as a conservative woman her idea of conservatism also extended to dressing in a conservative manner. As I read her comment, I thought of several women I had known who belonged to a branch of Christianity who all dressed in a very similar conservative manner. I believe they belonged to a Pentecostal church, but I’m not sure about this. Anwyay, the clothing I always saw them in consisted of long jumper type dresses that came below the knee along with long sleeved shirts.They didn’t use makeup or wear any jewelry other than a wddding ring. They dressed very similarly to how Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who become well known for her opposition to same sex marriage, dresses.
After reading the article, I also thought of the many Mennonite women I’ve seen who also dress in a very modest manner. I didn’t agree with the reader’s comment that the pinup image was “soft porn,” but I had some idea how her view of women’s clothing could have been shaped by her conservative outlook based on the women I knew who dressed in a very modest manner. Your response was fine until you attacked the reader for her viewpoints writing, “Your judgemental assesment about who we are as conservative women is not only silly, but completely false. I encourage you to be concrened about your own sexual imagery as you leave these kind of poison comments, and leave us ot ours. Thank you.” Let me translate the deeper meaning of your reply: “I’m incapable of understanding that other woman who consider themselves to be conservative might have a different idea of what constitutes appropriate clothing for women than my standards. I’ll therefore insult the reader who made the comment because I am easiily trigerred by criticism while I ride my haughty condescending high horse by telling her to be concerned about her own sexual “imagery” that she presents as if something is wrong with the reader instead of recognizing that we have different ideas of what it means to be a conservative woman. I’ll also be really snippy and refer to her comments as ‘”poison comments,” What do you think, Kate? Do you like how I made assumptions about you just like you made assumptions about the reader? I’d think that if you possesed any professionalism as an editor you could have taken the high road, expressed your viewpoint that images of pinup girls weren’t soft porn, and simply agreed to disagree. That doesn’t seem to be how you or this site roll, though.
How would you respond to a Mennonite woman who considers herself to be consevative if she expressed displeasure to you in person about the pinup images on your site? How would you respond to a traditional Amish woman? Would you be as condescening a haughty to her as you were to your reader? Would Marta tell her to “piss off?” if Marta disagreed with her? Or would Marta go a step further with her language like she did in her commens today?
I’ve looked at some sites before that reach the same depths of name calling and nastiness that your site reaches but they were sites that would probably considered “alt right” sites that are far far out of the mainstream of conservatism. Your site almost seems deserving of some sort of negative award for the snippy, snotty, snide, snarky, smarmy sarcastic tone that is common in both the articles and comment section. I’ve been called a “concern troll” and told I have a “slavish devotion to tone” because of the few comments I’ve made on this site, as well as Marta’s “piss off” comment. I haven’t read many of the articles on your site, but I do sometmes agree with some of the poitns made in the articles. Unfortunately, you set a very low bar as to who you let write for this site.
It really isnt’ hard to write in a snarky, snide and sarcastic manner. Just take a look at social media. If it were difficult to write in this manner, it wouldn’t be so common.Your writers cetainly seem educated, but they seem to lacking when it comes to maturity.
For what it’s worth, my best guess is that in the long run things aren’t going to go well for Trump, his family, and some of his colleagues. I could be absoutely wrong about this, of course, and time will tell. If it all goes south for Trump, his family, and his colleagues, it will be interesting to see how this is covered on your site.
I hadn’t planned to comment on your site again, but Marta’s comments were truly something to behold. I’m definitely done commenting on your site now. You and Marta can pick out one of the insults in your comments section and apply it to yourselves because I’m just not one to write or talk that way given my “salvish devotion to proper tone.” You really seem to have no idea that the kind of tone that is often expressed on this site is the kind of tone that has driven some voters away from the Republican Party. I have no idea why “conservatives” like you continue as you do, given the resutls of the midterm. Would you really rather have a Democrat win a house seat instead of a moderate-centrist Republican because of the Republican Party’s slavish devotion to Trump? I guess we’ll all just have to wait and see how the Trump saga unfolds.
Marta Hernandez says: Good lord! You’re STILL here? Do you need a blog of your own to document your grievances in your desperate attempt to attract my attention?
What a sad, boring life you lead!
I have to admit that I don’t care for “vulgar” language myself – but I will defend to the death your right (or anyone else’s) to tell me to piss off. Like everything else, it is up to YOU to decide what audience you want to address, and what audience you don’t care about losing.
(No, you won’t lose me, this is one of the few blogs on my toolbar. Unlike many, I can adult and handle words and images that I don’t care for. Paladin, though, the other day… Brain bleach is NOT cheap, you know!)
Marta Hernandez says: LOL – we do appreciate you being here, despite my sometimes salty language.
I’ve always felt that “vulgar” language is appropriate in certain situations, and I generally don’t use it unless I feel it’s necessary. Sometimes it just fits, ya know?

GWB says: Wow, a definite tl;dr from the tone troll.
(Also, it doesn’t matter if a Republican wins if they’re a ‘Murray’s who will give the Dems what they want. That’s how we got into the mess we have today. Look up the “Overton Window” and ponder compromise that only ever moves in one direction.)
GWB says: WTF? How did “‘moderate'” get turned into “‘Murray’s”?
*smdh*
Citizen Stan says: Somehow I figured Marta would resort to the tired old defense of saying that I have a “sad” and “boring” life or something or this sort. It seems typical for writers like Marta to try to belittle those who disagree with them. It looks like Marta may have shot off her mouth at a troll or bot in her comment in the column about James Mattis. It certainly crossed my mind that it could be a bot or ongoing troll when I read the comment, but I wonder if this thought crossed Marta’s mind before she replied or if she just fired off one of her typical and angry comments.
Out of curiosity, I read another column written by Marta in which a reader criticized her for her use of vulgar language. I wasn’t surprised that the reader who criticized Marta got the same sort of pile on I received for criticizing her, including a comment from Honorary Mean Girl In-Group Enforcer GWB. In her reply to readers’ comments, Marta wrote that she spends more time formatting and laying out her columns than she does writing the text. This didn’t surprise me because Marta’s columns basically read as angry rants.
I didn’t find Marta’s vulgarity shocking and she certainly has a right to write as she wants. It seems typical of this site that being snarky,sarcastic, snide and vulgar is defended when anybody dares to criticize the writing quality of one of its writers. As I’ve commented before, it really doesn’t take much writing talent to be snarky, snide, sarcastic and vulgar. All you have to do is look at social media, reader comments sections in many online sites, and sites like this to see this type of writing is common, and, in my opinion, tiresome in a manner that reflects a lack of writing ability and/or effort. As for Marta, the best I can sum up my reaction to her is that if I was responsible for the well being of children or adolescents, I’d be sure to keep them away from Marta because of her ongoing case of cesspool pious potty mouth-itis.
I’d never commented on a site like this before but it’s clear to me that some of the writers on this site are very hypocritical. They decry the mainstream media and call them out for being too sensitive about statements that have to do with culture and politics, for censoring opposing viewpoints, and for trying to silence their critics, yet these same writers do these things themselves.
For example, here is what head Mean Girl editor Kate wrote: “If you email us just to complain, we reserve the right to delete it, post it. mock it – or any combination thereof. Here’s the subtext she should have written: “If you criticize our writing ability or disagree with us in ways that we don’t like, we will try to prevent you from commenting in the future by piling on you and attacking you because, after all, we basically have the mentality of adolescent mean girls.”
I thought I was done commenting on this site, but the glaring hypocrisy exhibited on this site prodded me to respond again. I’m going to pass on GWB’s recommendation on looking up “Overton Window.” I have better things to do with my “sad” and “boring” life. I wonder if Marta thinks that GWB has a “boring” and “sad” life because he sure seems to spend a fair amount of time on this site. I Imagine that’s okay with Marta though because GWB generally seems to agree with the writers on this site. Mean Girls Blog Mentality: agree with us = intelligent and good person disagree with us or criticize us = you’re intelligence is questionable, you’re too sensitive, you’re a troll because you criticized one of our own Mean Girls, you’re a jerk for reading articles on our site and having the audacity to criticize our writers and not be driven away by us mean girls.
It’s been interesting to read this site, comment on this site, and see the replies to my comments. Thanks for the view and insight into your Mean Girl world. In general, I’m unimpressed. I have wonder why your better writers who don’t resort to your prevailing Mean Girl mentality and writing style continue to write for this site. As GWB would say, “smdh.”

Kate says: Hi Citizen Stan. Thank you for providing feedback — twice — even though it was riddled with ad hominem attacks. Please know that if our site is so horrible for you, you do have the option to just stop coming by. Have a nice evening.

NC says: When I go to a restaurant, I like to try something new. Maybe something out of my normal menu. If I dislike it, I don’t tell the chef how to fix it. I simply don’t order it again. If I find that this particular chef over-seasons my food, I will come in on a day they aren’t working. Better still, request that a different chef prepare my meal. If this isn’t an option, I don’t return.
What I don’t do is continually visit the establishment, malign the staff, and tell them that they are inept at their jobs. I will spend my resources in another location.
If you are unhappy with a particular writer, find another to follow. If you are unhappy with the overall establishment, don’t return.
What you shouldn’t do is expect that your comments of unconstructive criticism will be well met. Of course those readers who enjoy that style will engage to support both their writer and style preference.
Why cause yourself so much unhappiness with your most valuable resource? Nobody has time to waste, and if you do then you need to volunteer. Go walk dogs at the animal shelter. Read to the blind. Visit a retirement home. It’s obvious that this isn’t someplace you find happiness.
You should find what brings you joy, and go do it.
Merry Christmas!
NC
Citizen Stan says: Kate and NC, reading and commenting on this site was not a “horrible” experience for me and it didn’t cause me “so much unhappiness.” I continued to read articles on the site and comment because it was interesting how criticism was met by a piling on by your readers and even your own writers. I’d never seen a “news site” before in which writers responded in such a strong manner to criticism of their own columns with other writers from the site joining in with them to criticize a reader. I was curious if this was a one time thing or if this is the prevailing mentality of this site. My experience shows that this kind of response reflects the prevailing mentality of this site. It’s obvious that you simply don’t like criticism of your site, your writers, or their writing style or content. As I mentioned, I found another article written by Marta in which she and others jumped on a reader for criticizing her writing style.
I’ll continue to occasionally read articles on this site because it’s an interesting viewpoint into your Trump Party outlook, but it’s obvious that you have your in- group mentality and have a real problem processing criticism.
NC, your advice comes across as presumptuous and condescending even though it is presented in a rather nice manner. You made a lot of assumptions about me in your response. Martita, Our Mean Girl Lady of Perpetual Vulgarity and Scatological References, “Derp Potato?” Really? How old are you? I wonder how you raise (raised) your children if your writing on this site is your idea of “conservative” thought and behavior. Kate, so you considered my comments “ad hominem” attacks. Was it bad that I made comments two times? Didn’t some of your readers and writers respond at least two times as well to me? Remember that saying about the pot and kettle?
I see very little from the writers on this site that embodies the spirit of the real Victory Girls, but continue on. It’s obvious that you are incapable of considering that you could be harming the long term well being of the Republican Party with your “conservative” and amateurish blog. I’ll be sure to pass on a recommendation for this blog to others who might find your viewpoints an interesting window into your perspectives on politics, government, and cultural issues.
Marta Hernandez says: Really, you arrogant dick pimple? You couldn’t get me to argue with you, so you impugned my parenting and my children? My daughter is an active duty Marine Sergeant. My son is a college senior and an Army Reservist. Both are dedicated to the nation they love and to the conservative principles with which I raised them – as a single mother, by the way, after their father decided they weren’t worth his time after he found his new family.
I have and continue to disagree with readers and commenters at times and do so respectfully and using facts. Here, for instance, and here. The only whining turd that seems to take issue and consistently complain about language, rather than substance is you. That should tell you something about your “disagreements.”
Fact is you have offered no substantive disagreements. You have arrogantly insulted writers on this blog because you don’t like their writing style, but have offered no actual discussion on the issues. And when I respond in kind, you insult my children?
My kids are off limits and out of your league, you fuck. You crossed a line.
NC says: “NC, your advice comes across as presumptuous and condescending even though it is presented in a rather nice manner. You made a lot of assumptions about me in your response. ”
CS, where exactly are you a citizen? Your comprehension seems akin to that of non-native English speakers.
Where exactly am I wrong in my presumptions?
Better yet, show me where you’ve actually contradicted my observations? You *think* that your responses are insightful. They’re not. Heck, they lack originality. So not only do your comments do nothing beyond spout disagreeable content, they’re banal.
In a nutshell, the effort of my response is more effort than your response deserves.
NC says: For the record CS- if you look at my interactions with the commentators on my posts you will find that none is contentious. Even my initial blog post where I was admonished for the origination of “superpredators.”
Why I’m dedicating time to respond to you is beyond me. But it is what it is.
Tell you what- what would you suggest I write an opinion piece about? I’m curious about your reply.
Bill says: As the Founder and Producer of the 16 year run of the former “Pearl Harbor Day Troop Train,” (LA to San Diego, RT, 2000-2016) I feel compelled to commend you for this thought provoking website, with it’s collection of comments and feedback. Very refreshing and different for a change. During each annual Troop Train journey to honor the onboard WWII Generation, I’d remind the passengers, “The WWII Generation is the nation’s political balance. When they’re gone, we’ll see a tremendous shift in our nation’s political direction.” Now that that proud, patriotic generation as all but faded away, we’re witnessing first hand, the results of their absence across the nation as they’re being replaced by the same tyrannical philosophy they fought so hard to eliminate from the world during the war years. We have now come full circle and the Left are rapidly accomplishing what the dictators of the war years failed in doing. Keep up the good work “Girls.” Also, thanks for the fine examples of the WWII photos & images. They’re a beautiful reminder of that political balance America once enjoyed. As Kate would say, “God Bless America!”
Kate says: Hi Bill
Thank you so much for the work you did on behalf of The Greatest Generation! It’s fun to read your thoughts and observations. I also appreciate your kind words about the blog. I want you to know how much they encouraged me tonight. Please come back again.
Randi says: I accidently happened upon this website just a day or so ago (2021) and found your “Pearl Harbor Troop Train” information interesting. Are you local to Southern California? When this lockdown madness is ended (if it ever is), If you are interested and able, I would love for you to talk about this on behalf of my still active but extremely small WWII veterans group (B-17 Combat Crewmen & Wingmen) which meets at the Chino Airport’s Planes of Fame Air Museum. Would love to hear from you.
Lois E Brenneman, MSN, FNP says: I think it is important for people to know that not all GOP-voting women are on the side of the pro-life crowd. I ALWAYS vote GOP (for a variety of economic and political issues) and I am very strongly pro-choice. It is important that people know that not all GOP voters are pro-life nor do they share the sentiments expressed here.
A breath of FRESH AIR found here over the ” ORWELL 84 STYLE SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORS hating the real AMERICAN RIGHTS OF THE CONSTITUTION of the UNION OF THE REPUBLIC that started this GREAT NATION!

DJ Millen says: I see many of us have fallen for the right/left theater of the absurd. The entire government of nearly every country is controlled by the Khazarian Mafia, the non-Semitic Europeans who call themselves Jews. Ya gotta hand it to them though. They’ve got the whole world deceived on every issue.
Vincent Scott says: I left a comment about the military stand down article and it was “moderated” out and not published. I used no bad language, quoted verified statistics I got from the internet, made factual reference to our war of independence, made no threats against or about anyone, and suggested that “We the People” would be an unstoppable force in a civil war. Your moderators are a bunch of arrogant, self-centered, and judgemental clowns, who are trying to control the narrative. Now I am calling you out because you insult true conservative constitutional Americans by pretending to be one of us. Victory girls my ass, more like rollover and play dead girls.
Kate says: Hi Vincent.
I’m our blog’s moderator and I can assure you that I’m not arrogant, self-centered, or a judgmental clown.
Our blog is set up to hold first-time commenters in moderation until I can manually approve them. After the first check, commenters post completely at will unless they become abusive jackasses. If that should happen, they go back into a moderated status until they behave themselves.
I try to get to comments as quickly as possible. We love and value opinions and stats and facts. We also reject echo chambers here. One thing though… we never pit our conservative credentials and flag waving abilities against someone else — especially someone who comes here without a clue and starts making accusations.
See? You are published.
Now don’t you feel silly? Because you really should. Moving on, we’re glad you’re here.

Tom Hatfield says: Oh Kate, you just had to get a dig in at Vincent Scott, didn’t you? “Now don’t you feel silly? Because you really should.” If you were truly a “publisher” that wanted to retain readers, you would have simply explained your procedure for moderating comments and let it go at that instead of getting a dig in at a potential reader. You do indeed come across as arrogant, and condescending as well. Rise above the comments of a potential reader who was upset.
Kate says: Hey, thanks for the scold, Karen!
ROP says: I am Back ! Did I miss you. My computer was on the blink and I had to wipe it ( not with a cloth!) and reinstall

Anonymous says: Don’t know if it’s been mentioned or not, but I find it really ironic that as a conservative blog, you named yourselves after sex workers in WWII. I personally have no problem with sex workers, but I have a feeling you and your writers do.
Cj says: Haha, yes very ironic.
Actually, from my understanding, the victory girls were not sex workers, but actually gave it away for free. They were doing their part to contribute to the morale of the soldiers.
And the government classified them as “amateurs”.
One nickname for them was Patriotutes.
AZDave says: Glad to see you back. Old Army mobile missle guy.
jackalope says: Hi, I just started reading your blog. Shelby Gallagher has talked it up quite a lot on her own podcast since she joined you and I figured it was time to check it out. Great stuff! But, what really got my attention was the pic of Ella Raines on the header for Douchery Roundup. Been a crush of mine for about 50 years. She was in “Tall in the Saddle” with John Wayne. Thanks!
