Legionary vs Legionnaire — So what’s the difference between “legionary” and “legionnaire”? Nothing significant. Legionary is an English word of Latin origin that means serving in a legion. Legionnaire is a French of Latin origin that means serving in a legion that English speakers often apply to members of the French Foreign Legion and the American Legion.

Trump Won Popular Vote, Maybe, Really — Hillary Clinton officially got 2,868,691 more votes than The Donald last November.
Trump, however, claimed that he won the popular vote if the illegal votes were subtracted.
It looks like he was right. Data from a biannual Harvard study indicates 5.7 million noncitizens illegally voted in 2008 election, and 3.6 million did so in 2012.
There is no reason to think the non-citizen vote was lower in 2016.
And this does not include dead voters and other vote fraud.
Democrats will shrilly screech that vote fraud doesn’t exist.
Whatever. Humor us. Allow us to impose photo ID just as Costco does for those seeking to enter their stores and just as Wawa does for those seeking to buy cigarettes.
Allow poll watchers to cross county lines. What could ever possibly be the reason to oppose this? Hmm? There must be one because you shrilly screeched when it was requested last fall and stopped it from happening.
And what’s up with giving driver’s licenses to those here illegally? Here is a list of states that did in 2015. All but one went for Clinton including Nevada which was the only state Trump lost in which he led in the polls.
Vote fraud happens and it appears more and more it is the only reason for the victories the Democrats have managed over the last few decades.

Citizens Alliance Exposes Political Scams
By Leo Kepper
Much has been made of the “historic” pension reform just signed by Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf. Politicos and the media are making it out to be a great compromise between Democrats and Republicans.
But our regular readers know better…
Thanks to Citizens Alliance of Pennsylvania (CAP) voters are aware of just how ridiculous a claim it is to say this pension reform legislation actually solves the problem.
While the bill is a marginal improvement for taxpayers, it does little to nothing to address the $74 billion shortfall the state has for current employees, allows current General Assembly members to keep their Cadillac pension benefits, and likely adds to our state’s overall debt burden in the years to come. “Historic” indeed.
But results are what matter to Pennsylvanians, and they’re what matter to us at CAP. It’s not about who gets credit or who’s remembered a generation from now, it’s about strengthening our Commonwealth so citizens can exercise their God-given rights without government getting in the way.
Because of CAPs efforts citizens are onto the games being played in Harrisburg; they aren’t buying the hype.
Instead, they’re demanding real results on pensions and other issues.
With your support we’ll continue to make sure voters know the truth. Will you consider making an investment in our work today?
Pensions are but one obstacle our Commonwealth faces, and our only line of defense is an informed and empowered citizenry.
With your help we will continue educating voters on these issues. Together we can – and will – ensure a brighter future for Pennsylvania.

The summer solstice — what we Americans consider to be the start of summer — has historically been called midsummer.
Summer 2017 Starts Now — Summer 2017 starts 12:24 a.m. EDT, June 21, which is right now if our internet service provider’s clock is accurate.
This means that tilt of Earth’s semi-axis is most inclined to the sun in the Northern Hemisphere which is a solstice.
The axis will in a few moments slowly start reversing itself until it is the Southern Hemisphere that is most inclined to the sun.
This would be the start of our winter (and Argentina’s summer).
Today is the longest day of the year.
Devil Loses In Georgia Again
The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin’ for a seat to steal
He was in a bind
‘Cause he was way behind
And he was willin’ to make a deal
When he came upon this young man
Wiping his nose and picking his snot
And the devil jumped
Up on a Starbucks booth
And said, “boy, let me tell you what
I guess you didn’t know it
But I’m a Democrat too
And if you’d care to take a dare, I’ll do a favor for you
The boy said, “my name’s Jonny
And I like the way that sounds
Let’s fill the hole
Who needs a soul
Let’s turn this thing around.”
The devil opened up his case
And he said, “I’ll start this show.”
And the media came swarming down
And Hollywood was aglow.
It looked it was a sure thing
Morning Joe made an evil hiss
And Rachel Maddow joined in
And it sounded something like this
When the devil finished
Jonny said I got this thing won
Everybody hates Trump
The voting is already done.
But the voting hadn’t started
The Donald’s more popular than some think
And the night was quick
And Handel won in an almost easy blink
The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he’d been beat
And gave a kick to Jonny’s butt
With one of his cloven feet
Jonny said “Hey, you were the one with fix
I did my best
So I failed the test
I don’t even live in District 6.”
