Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

You can also support me by buying one of my books, as noted in the boxes interspersed throughout the webpage or shown in the menu above.


More death threats against Trump

Feel the hate! It appears that there is a trending effort on twitter to raise money to hire a hit man to kill Donald Trump.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Threatening the President (or President Elect) is a class E felony under 18 U.S.C. § 871. Secret Service has jurisdiction.
    Threats against other Federal government officials (& their families) are investigated by the FBI.

    “There are three elements of the offense of making an illegal threat: (i) there must be a transmission in interstate commerce; (ii) there must be a communication containing the threat; (iii) and the threat must be a threat to injure the person of another.”

  • I’d say threats on social media meet the elements required. Is anyone in mass media condemning the perpetrators?

    Hope you all are enjoying our very fine weather.

    Blair,

    Blair–
    Sadly, nothing is going to happen to these rioters.
    PDX is nice. I could learn to live in Tigard very easily, but not sure I could afford it. Tall trees, big mountains!
    >Fantastic train ride from Milwaukee to PDX
    My g-daughter Lindsey (and I) enjoyed your Oregon Day-Trip blog-posts over the past few months & your Michigan vacation adventure posts. She lives in Virginia & has never been “up north” to the Mackinaw Bridge, and neither of us have been west of the Mississippi, until now.

    Cotour– hey!
    Well, DJT is in. Mark Levin is optimistic, but he spent a good hour tonight reminding us of Mitch McConnell & Chris Christie and their perpetual non-stop RINO ways. As Mr Z has noted, for months, its imperative that solid people surround Trump & push for Conservative Policies.

    President directly hires about 3,500 people for the Executive Branch, and apparently Christie is already colluding with all sorts of Bush/Romney people, and Mitch has already stated “No Term Limit Bills will be considered by the Senate,” & “no nuclear option on filibusters.”

    Trump hasn’t even been sworn in, and Mitch is already undercutting him. (and Rinse Priebus, is a dangerous RINO, CRONY, establishment hack. He’s no “superstar,” he needs to GO & DJT needs to send him packing. He somehow kept his phony job through 2 loser presidential candidates and now he wants to cash in his meal-ticket on Trump.

    Wayne,

    Trumps learning curve will be interesting although I believe that he will in short order identify those who are standing in his way and take them to the yard and ceremoniously / symbolically spank them or slit their throats for all to see and learn from. (Kind of like the Clintons but more above board, honest and respectable)

    Mitch McConnel is an older man, maybe he has 4 or eight more years in him, and maybe does not, and while he is definitely sending messages about what will be and not be Trump is going to be more than a match for him IMO and he will tend to get more than he will be giving.

    This is going to be a very interesting political dance that we are all going to witness, and as a side note I think we are seeing him rising to the occasion and becoming more than as the weight and importance of his amazing American accomplishment sinks in.

    As an side, the Liberals / intellectually dishonest Leftists in my life are to a man and woman confused to say the least.

    All the best.
