“Racism”

This isn’t about racism anymore.

The American Taleban have arrived.

There is widespread failure of leadership at all levels of government throughout the nation: federal, state, and local.

There has never been a more incompetent, yet self-important and corrupt, ruling class in this country, as Tucker Carlson says.

The institutions of this country have no credibility, no resolve, and no integrity.

They are focused entirely on politics and Trump.

There needs to be a massive turnout in November to repudiate the ruling class at the ballot box.

Who's going to stop it? The police?

The communists took over education and we are paying the price. Not long ago we had a shared heritage and everybody was proud of our civic monuments to our achievements and our heroes.

Without that national pride and patriotism, with some many hating America and all it stands for, there is little we can do to stop them from destroying our entire cultural heritage.

They are upping the ante every day. Watch them bomb and burn the Library of Congress, the National Archives, Mt. Rushmore, the Washington Monument, the White House. Very soon they won't be satisfied with some black spray paint and vulgarities. Nope, they will have to erase our entire past.

I have no idea how to stop this. How do you undo 40 years of public school communist indoctrination and hate-America propaganda? Getting tough on law and order may not work these days given how far down the totalitarian path we are.

Excellent article on American Thinker today about this: We Have Entered a Looking-Glass World by David Solway, June 9, 2020. Mr. Solway is becoming increasingly pessimistic and ends with "The real question is whether a plummeting culture, nation or civilization can right itself and correct course before it is too late. The verdict of history is not encouraging. It may happen, but it would take a miracle."

.............. Whoever was responsible for throwing the statue into the lake should be financially charged for it’s retrieval ...... I am sure there are a multitude of environmental Laws on the Books to do this ......... DAMMIT ...... Somebody grow a set of brass ones and start fighting back ..... Hit them in the wallet .... Heck ...... It’s the only thing left that these people actually have any feelings ... For Pete’s Sake ....

Forget the ballot box. There needs to be a large turnout at the ammo box.

No, not by “protesters.”

No, not by “lawless vigilantes.”

By communists working feverishly to destroy the U.S. of A.

We are under assault like never before. We’ve had communist mobs in the past 100 years, but they’ve never been as organized as today and not as effective as today. The reason is that, over the past 100 years, we still had a nation that people believed in. Then we lost education and things really started to unravel.

How do you eradicate the deeply rooted idea that the United States is the root of all evil in the world? Tossing a couple of them in prison, even for 25 to life terms, won’t have much effect. Plus, you know sympathetic judges will do nothing but dismiss the charges or give them a bit of community service.

Most millennials I know (and I’m of the generation) have gone to the dark side. They will be perfectly willing to kill those that disagree with them. I don’t see this ending peacefully.

This is the behavior that an expensive college “education” buys today. Four years of intensive anti-American and “woke” indoctrination prepares young people for the kind of destruction we’re used to seeing only in totalitarian societies. The American Cultural Revolution is well underway and there will be many more deaths.

There’s no ammo left in the stores.
We sold out of 9mm completely today.

I look forward to the day (hopefully soon) where there is a peaceful partitioning of the country. The leftist atheists/humanists get their own states. The blacks get their own states. The traditionalist, heritage Americans get their own states.

Let’s get on with the amicable divorce.

My son told me the other night to save the country we would have to kill half his generation.
