Andrew Jackson was a total jerk, the Bolton of his age.


Jackson may well have been a total jerk, but I wouldn’t call him that to his face. But to compare him to Bolton? In your list of those he hated, you left out the English. He hated those he fought against. He certainly wasn’t a 21st century man, but he may have been a man of his time. The elites of his time certainly didn’t like him.

He is Trumps hero, and maybe that explains why he had that idiot in his cabinet advising him. However if you feel so strongly against old Andy, send me all your $20’s!

There are reports of Secret Service kicking all press out of the White House during the disturbance next door in the park. This was undoubtedly because an escalated security alert level was declared.

If I was responsible for the security of POTUS I would definitely set a state of very high alert and readiness during nearby unrest. Not only because the mob could grow and attempt to invade White House grounds, but also because such a disturbance could be used as cover for a sophisticated attack by professionals. Any member of the press could be a potential insider in an attack plan.

He was definitely in with his part of the elites, because the policies he was enacting weren’t his alone. One of the things I hate about this rampage is that we never really get to discuss what was behind an individual’s actions. They scream that he’s just BAD.

Jackson was not the Hitler of his time. He was simply doing the manifest destiny stuff, and it wasn’t his idea alone. However, I will say that he was a particularly cruel slave owner. He owned a lot of slaves, and when they escaped, he would send slave catchers after them ....and pay them extra if they could beat or torture the runaways in some way that didn’t render them useless before they returned them to Jackson. Definitely not a nice person, but a very influential one and a legitimately elected president who cannot be erased.

Anyway, the Dems have got take credit for him...LOL!

when people lean into a shield like this, the cop should turn sideways, let the forward momentum slide the person to the rear, and have a team to tackle and cuff. End of person leaning. Just a suggestion.

Because nothing says peaceful demonstration quite like building fires in the middle of the road:

C'mon. Some rap has at least a tiny bit of soul.

Hannity is more like John Tesh.

Antifa idiots are so stupid that if they saw that statue they would think it had already just been vandalized and moved on.

Now the BLM has taken over at least the entryway of St Johns Episcopal Church. Not that the Left-radical Episcopal Church minds. Their New Marxist Translation (NLMT) rewrites The Gospel of Matthew:

“The Weak shall disinherit the earth,” and They’re doing their best to live it out.

Not as white as Shaun King, the BLM “leader.” The guy looks more white than a Finlander who showers with bleach every morning.
