&&&& the Fourth of July. In a world where we officially recognize Juneteenth, that great new holiday sits on the calendar casting a long shadow over Independence Day, making it look like a hypocrite and a damn fool.

“We may never have revolted against Britain if some of the founders had not understood that slavery empowered them to do so; nor if they had not believed that independence was required in order to ensure that slavery would continue. It is not incidental that 10 of this nation’s first 12 presidents were enslavers, and some might argue that this nation was founded not as a democracy but as a slavocracy.”


All of the colonies were slave permitting colonies? This is the CRT that is going to be taught in our schools.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT –

CHEW , DIGEST , AND THINK CLEARLY

Conundrum

Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free. (Think this one over and over…makes sense!)

"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again."

The definition of the word Conundrum is: something that is puzzling or confusing.

Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United States of America:

1America is capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.

2Half of the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.

3They think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.

4Their representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.

5The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only dream about.

6They have things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other countries.

These three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our current government and cultural environment:

1 We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.

Funny how that works. And here's another one worth considering…

2 Seems we constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money. But we never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money ! What's interesting is the first group "worked for" their money, but the second didn't.

Think about it.....and Last but not least :

3 Why are we cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting our army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.

Am I the only one missing something?

"If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools." – Plato

If you enjoy violence, riots, shootings, stabbings and mayhem, Juneteenth is the holiday for you.

Juneteenth violence: At least 8 killed, dozens injured during Saturday shootings

--Yahoo News

And this was just one incident, there were plenty more.

Face it. There no longer exists in America a reasonable consensus of commonly held values. What do rational decent people have in common with BLM, Antifa and the people who support and sympathize with them? Why would rational, decent people want to have dealings with such people at any level?

I wonder how this nitwit feels about black people murdering half of black babies in the womb? Never mind the gangs that kills nearly as many young black men every year than were lynched from the end of the Civil War on?

I don’t know what a Toure is, but your culture is not hindered by slavery that occurred over 150 years ago and has failed miserably at taking advantage of all this country offers you. Adversity is colorblind, it is your weakness or refusal to step up that is the problem.

Just more indoctrinated toxicity from another attention-seeking useful idiot.

There is a country for people who think Independence Day and the Declaration should not be celebrated, but Juneteenth should. It is called Liberia, and it has been available since 1820.

I have a proposal for another new holiday African Americans can celebrate. I propose a celebration by AAs that they had an ancestor brought to the USA as a slave instead of having an ancestor brought to Haiti as a slave, or Cuba, or SA, or CA, or the Arab world, etc.

Like Mohammed Ali said after visiting Zaire (Congo) for his fight with George Foreman: “Thank God my granddaddy got on that boat”.

Juneteenth, the day Republicans finally freed the last of the Democrat’s slaves in 1865, 2 1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Let’s all start calling Juneteenth as “Drive-by Day.”
