Two stories for the campfire

One is true, one is not, thing about President Trump, the way he delivers a story is funny, the premise of the story is not

I read a story, it’s a terrible story, but I’ll tell you,” he says. “Should I tell you, or should I not?” There are cheers. Trump proceeds. It’s early in the last century, he says, and Gen. Pershing—“rough guy, rough guy”—is facing a terrorism problem, somewhere. Trump doesn’t say outright who the terrorists are, but “there’s a whole thing with swine, and animals and pigs, and you know the story, OK? They don’t like that.”

Pershing sits upright on his horse, “very astute”—Trump chops his hand straight downward—“like a ramrod.” He catches fifty terrorists who have done “tremendous damage and killed many people.” He has fifty of his men take fifty bullets and dip them in pigs’ blood. Then they line up the prisoners and shoot forty-nine of them. To the fiftieth, Pershing says: “You go back to your people and you tell them what happened.” Pershing’s approach to terrorism works: “For twenty-five years, there wasn’t a problem. OK?” The crowd roars, and Trump’s repeats the happy ending, then concludes with an ominous message.. “So we better start getting tough, and we better start getting vigilant, and we better start using our heads,” he warns, “or we’re not going to have a country, folks.”

Not sure how, but these two pictures seem to go together well

Place of bones

The battle at Iroquois Point was not a minor local skirmish, it was a turning point in Ojibway History… it was to them what Waterloo was to the nations who stopped the encroachments of Napoleon“

“They were the first to defeat the Iroquois, who to the number of a hundred warriors came to takepossession of one of their villages. Hearing of the enemy’s march, fifty Sauteur (Ojibwe band) went to meet them. Under the cover of a very dense fog they entirely defeated them. They had for arms only arrows and tomahawks, while the Iroquois relied much on their firearms.”

“They united and formed a circle around the camp of the Iroquois… They entered the camp during a shower of rain, near day light. Not a soul was awake to give the alarm; and every Iroquois was put to death except two. The two saved were furnished a canoe, and told to go and inform their relatives of the result, and tell them never again to venture into the Chippewa country.“

I have been there more than a few times, it’s a very quiet place, that place of bones.

Meanwhile across the pond, this is AI bullshit, still it’s good bullshit
