President Trump has provided America with yet another reminder to never underestimate how deep into the gutter he will crawl to win an election. On Wednesday afternoon, the president tweeted a new, deeply racist campaign ad in which he continued to drive the narrative that Democrats are pro-crime. It begins with footage of a Mexican man named Luis Bracamontes bragging about how he killed police officers. Bracamontes has been deported, but re-entered the United States illegally, and in February was convicted of killing two deputies in California. The Democrats are to blame, the ad argues, as they will be for all the crime that will be wrought on the nation if the caravan of Hispanic migrants is able to make its way to the border.
The ad Trump released Wednesday makes "Willie Horton" look like a "The More You Know" public service announcement. It was also endorsed and promoted by the sitting president of the United States, not an outside group supporting a candidate.
As the leader of the GOP, Trump is setting an example for Republicans courting the votes of his base. Last Friday, Marsha Blackburn, the party's candidate for Senate in Tennessee, released a similar ad aimed at drumming up fear over the migrant caravan while attacking her Democratic opponent Phil Bredesen.
"A caravan of 14,000 illegal immigrants is marching on America," a voice intones. "Gang members. Known criminals. People from the Middle East. Possibly even terrorists." It's got the menacing music. It's got the high-contrast images of mobs and brown people wearing bandanas. It's got the portrayal of Blackburn's opponent as a complicit bystander willing to let hardened criminals run rampant over the United States. "A few thousand very poor people is not a threat," Bredesen says.
But Bredesen is right. Blackburn's claim that 14,000 migrants are on the move is an exceedingly high estimate pushed mostly by dubious sources. On Sunday, the Associated Press reported that the caravan had shrunk to around 4,000 people. The thousands of people making their way north could theoretically include a few criminals, but there is no evidence it is in any way saturated with gang members or, as the president mused last week, just a few days before Blackburn's ad ran, "unknown Middle Easterners." The caravan is overwhelmingly comprised of, as Bredesen said, poor people fleeing untenable living situations in corrupt, crime-ridden nations.
The town of Juchitan, where this video was shot, is barely across Mexico's southern border, nearly 1,000 miles from the southern tip of Texas. It will take the migrants months to complete the trek, and when they do, the size of the caravan will have likely shrunk exponentially. The midterms are in less than a week, though, which is why Trump has already deployed 5,000 troops to the border. On Wednesday, he said the number could climb as high as 15,000. "We have to have a wall of people," the president said.
Though the GOP's hold on the Senate seems secure, most experts forecast Democrats will take the House of Representatives. On Wednesday, the Cook Political Report revised its outlook, predicting that Democrats will pick up 30-40 congressional seats, up from 25-35 in September. FiveThirtyEight currently gives Democrats a 6-in-7 chance of retaking the House. With his party's prospects to hold control of the government dwindling, it isn't surprising that Trump has double- and tripled-down on stoking concern over the caravan, even using government resources to do so. The only way he knows how to appeal to his base is through fear-mongering. As he recently told Axios, his "only form of fighting back" is calling the media the "enemy of the people." There is no shame, only a hollow obsession with retaining power at all costs.
Kruse also pointed out on Twitter that Lee Atwater, the man responsible for the "Willie Horton" ad, later regretted it. He even repented for it on his death bed. There's little doubt, however, that Trump will feel anything resembling remorse over what could be the most racist campaign ad in political history. In fact, he's pinned it to the top of his Twitter page.

One of the perks of being acquainted with veterans of the wargaming hobby is that they often have stack upon stack of unopened boxes of miniatures, hidden away more or less succesfully from the eyes of their oft disapproving spouses. My friend Henk, then, was happy enough to force several boxes of plastic Perry ACW models onto me – in return I'll be painting up some Prussian Landwehr for him, more on those later. The first batch of Union troops is what I'll be showcasing today.
The Perry's first plastic set. They look dated, but only when compared to their newer plastics.
As with most uniformed models I've been painting recently, I started off with an undercoat of macragge blue, followed by a block paint of the trousers in lothern blue which was drybrushed blue horror followed by praxeti white. The coats were drybrushed caledor sky and then the entirety of the models was washed drakenhof nightshade – a nice deep blue.
I'm quite happy with how the trousers' colour came out.
Other than that, it was straightforward work with the same colours I use for flesh, metal, wood, leather and the like. No radical changes there, as I'm keen on making good progress on this project. One area I did spend a bit more time on was the blankets wrapped around some of the models. These I painted mostly with muted colours, though I did add some brighter ones and a pattern here and there to lighten the unit up.
As you can guess from the bases of the unit, it's incomplete – I'm building my ACW units fourty strong, so I still have half to do. For this reason I'm also leaving the basing to be done in one go at the end.
That's it for today – more Crusaders are just over the horizon and should feature on the blog later this week. Until then!
A while back I was given part of a box of Perry ACW cavalry as part of a payment for commission painting. As with the Zouaves I painted recently, I wanted to curb the backlog for this project as much as possible, and so here they are.
On this unit I tried out another of GW's recent colour spray cans, namely guilliman blue (or girly man blue, if you play Ultramarines). The horses were basecoated black, but the riders received this blue undercoat. The jackets were then drybrushed caledor sky, and the trousers were drybrushed lothern blue then blue horror, before the riders received a drakenhof nightshade wash. All other areas were handled as I tend to handle them.
The yellow piping was a nightmare to get right, of course.
Still, that's them done. I'll be looking to expand somewhat on this fledgling ACW collection in 2015, at which point this unit will be doubled in size, complete with a horse holder and dismounted cavalrymen. Thank God the Perrys have a wonderful range for these guys.
Stay tuned as I have another batch of cavalry charging onto the blog tomorrow. Yee-haw.
I said I wasn't going to start any new projects in 2014, but that's before the guys I frequently paint models for started to recompense me with leftover boxes of Perry Miniatures ACW. Just one and a half boxes for now; the contents of the one box is what we'll be looking at today. Being a brand new project I wanted to get these out of the way as soon as possible, in order not to be distracted from my many other armies. Speedpainting isn't exactly my kind of thing, but this unit is the closest I've ever come to it. Let's take a gander!
I painted these guys in two batches of twenty models – it's been a long time since I've painted this many in one go. The models were undercoated with my mephiston red spray – really handy, this one – then drybrushed with wild rider red, before caledor sky was applied to all blue areas. Then, the models were washed all over with druchii violet. Simple!
A massive block, this one.
After that, all black areas were basecoated adeptus battlegrey then shaded with nuln oil – a really easy way of doing black – and the wood bits, straps and yellow parts were basecoated in xv-88, rakarth flesh and averland sunset respectively before receiving an agrax earthshade wash. The skin was even easier – I just applied stark highlights with kislev flesh, not even bothering with an undercoat. Super easy and enough for tabletop quality!
That's it for now! I have one zouave left in my box which might be the subject of a painting tutorial in the future, but for now I'm off to give other units in my backlog some love. ACW-wise I have eight cavalrymen left which I might be doing up soonish, so stay tuned!

David "Dave" Oray Iliff
Service Last Thursday for Dave Iliff
Funeral service was held last Thursday at the Peet Chapel for David Iliff, 88, who died at his home in Lusk October 15.

In 1908 the family came to Buffalo on the stagecoach. They homesteaded at Kaycee for five years before moving to Casper in 1916. In 1917 they moved to Lusk where Mr. Iliff worked as a freighter for the Ohio Oil Company for two years. He also worked for the Midwest Hardware and Skelgas plant for many years.
In 1935 he started the Wyoming Cabin Camp which he operated for 22 years, retiring in 1957.
He is survived by two sisters Ocea Iliff of Lusk and Pauline Straight of Provo, S. D.; two nieces and one nephew. His parents and one brother, Ed. died previously.

Only children are independent and often quite happy to play by themselves. This isn't a problem for the most part and this kind of behavior can set them up nicely for adult life when they will need to fend for themselves. But unfortunately, some shy children have a much harder time going out and making friends when they don't have a sibling to back them up.
The good news is that there are lots of ways you can help your child to put themselves out there a little more without completely traumatizing them. This isn't about chucking them in at the deep end of the social pool, but rather giving them a chance to explore new environments and meet new people in their own time.
Whether your child is confident but just lacking a space to communicate with peers or they are too shy to even approach another child on their own, here are 3 ideas to help them along.
One of the best ways to learn how to socialize is through playing games. For kids, games and play are safe ways to experiment with social interaction and to learn more about each other. Sports are a great choice as they often foster team spirit as well as healthy competitiveness and communication skills.
Once you have found a sport your child enjoys, they will start to bloom socially as they get to know others through that sport. Rather than just standing around and hoping that conversation happens, sport gives your child an immediate topic and something in common with the other children.
As an extension to this idea, a summer camp could be ideal for a child who is growing more and more in confidence and needs a bit more space to grow up. Camp Sonshine is a great example of a summer camp because kids can just go during the daytime if they aren't ready to sleep away from home.
Talking to kids before a new social situation is often a good idea if your child has ASD or similar, or social anxiety and shyness. As adults, we intuitively know what is expected of us in certain situations but for kids, the landscape is a bit trickier. For some children lacking a little experience can make it even harder to interact with others so preparing them for what they might like to say and do will boost their confidence.
So, if your child is going to a birthday party, you should involve them in buying and wrapping a gift, talk about the birthday rituals like saying 'happy birthday' and the birthday boy or girl blowing out the candles. While you cannot possibly prepare them for every single eventuality, just having a basic template will work wonders.
Some children take a little longer to mature than others and it is no different when it comes to socializing. For many young children, putting themselves out there is a bit more daunting than for others put pushing them into situations they find negative just won't help as they will confirm that socializing just isn't for them and make matters worse.
It's hard to be patient as a parent but the vast majority of children will make friends by themselves with your support. Talking the situation through is a real help but arranging one to one play dates with a friend could also help build your child's confidence as they only have one peer to deal with at a time.
The best thing you can do as a parent is keep talking to your child and encourage a strong bond between the two of you first. Make sure that your child is able to speak to you about their anxieties in an open way and listen to what they are saying. Understanding what they are going through is key to creating a steady plan that will help them catch up with their more confident peers. Active listening can feel a bit tortuous at times but making the effort to give your child your full attention will pay off significantly in the long run.
Encouraging your child to get out there and talk to peers is really important for their development and will set them up well for the future. Whether your child is confident enough to go to camp for the summer and have an amazing time on their own or they require a bit more guidance with simple social situations, every child can succeed.
All children learn and develop in their own time; your job is to support and encourage.
This is such a great post, and very helpful! I don't have kids but I will share this with family and friends, this is something that would help them.
These are great tips. I really love this post!
These are great tips! Thank you! My husband and I are pretty quiet and reserved and my son is an only child. I think this post will really help!
These are good tips! I think the most important thing, like you mentioned, is to be patient.

Popular in America and the United Kingdom, garage sales are an easy way of selling unwanted items and making some extra cash. If you need to de-clutter, or are simply after some extra money for a holiday or a treat, then selling your items from the comfort of your home could be the ideal way to do it! At leading concrete garage company Dencroft, we have complied some tips for a successful garage sale, no matter where you are in the world.
Enlist the family to help.
Kids love helping out with projects like a garage sale. They can help sort items out and help any customers with change. Enlisting your family to help for the morning means that not only are you more likely to have more to sell, it will be fun activity for you and your loved ones. A successful day of selling old and unwanted items is a great way to bring a family together as a team as the money made can then be divided between individuals or pooled together for a family treat.
This is the question to ask when deciding what you want to sell. Whether it is clothes, books, DVDs, CDs, equipment, anything that you have not used for over a year should be considered as it is unlikely that you will use it again. Another way some people decide what to sell in their garage is by the percentage rule, for example deciding to sell 10% or 20% of all books and DVDs. The bottom line is, if you never use something, you probably don't really need it. The point of a garage sale is to de-clutter so be prepared to let things go.
Advertising your sale on gumtree, craigslist, a local newspaper or through flyers will let people know about your garage sale. You are much more likely to sell your items if you advertise than if you are simply relying on prospective customers to walk past by chance, particularly if you live on a quiet street or a cul-de-sac.
Instead of just throwing your items onto a couple of makeshift tables, you should consider dividing everything into categories (again, you can use the kids for this, just tell them it's a game). If you have a lot of books to sell, consider putting them into a bookcase to enable easy browsing. Clothes – particularly well made or vintage ones – will look much better on a clothing rack than in a box. If you have a lot of ornaments, create a themed table, set the items up so that they complement each other. If you need inspiration, pop along to an antiques shop or a boutique to see how they place their items.
To continue the boutique shop theme, put some background music on and have refreshments available. People are much more likely to stop if your garage sale looks inviting. You could get a family member to provide drinks, or even open a lemonade stand to lure people in.
By following these tips you and your family should have a great garage sale. Hopefully you have had a fun day, sold most of your items, and anything left over can be sent to a charity shop.

Owning your own business is exhausting. Physically, mentally, emotionally. Exhausting. There's always something to do, whether that be replying to e-mails, posting on Instagram, adding products to the website, book keeping, or worrying about book keeping (after all, you're in charge of your own hustle). And I've found a way to balance all of this by shutting down for a few hours when I'm home and playing video games. But this has consequently resulted in negligence on my part to work on videos and creative projects I find truly inspiring. I'm in no where saying that I don't love what I do, but I just wanted to be frank with you, because I owe a lot to the people who've bothered following this blog for the past 5 years. I'm not saying this blog is going anywhere for the mean time, but I'll always try to do better and keep making content that I love, and hopefully you do too.
