LE, as a personal favor I ask you to watch this video over the weekend. It's about the integration of the Clinton Tennessee high school. Watching this film I actually got a greater respect for confederate general Robert E. Lee. At 1:03 minutes in you'll see why. There is no reason to run from history, any of it.

No. It wasn't. That's the false claim made by a stupid parent. That's really as stupid as saying any movie about the cruxifician of Jesus is somehow anti Semetic. Some Jews absolutely participated in the crucifician of Jesus. Others were horrified by it. (Like pretty much of of Jesus followers were Jewish). Similarly there were white people during the Civil Rights era that were helping to end segregation. Like all of the white men that walked Ruby Bridges to school. Okay. So ban teaching about World War I and II because that might make German and Japanese people feel uncomfortable. And teach about the founding documents, but cut out the Revolutionary War and rthe War of 1812 because it might offend British people. In fact don't teach history at all. Just teach that founding documents exist. (Don't give any context). And of course you can't teach about the Civil War. Good grief are conservatives really such snowflakes? Our country did just fine the past 50+ years without trying to erase history. I get it. We don't want BS being taught like there are 27 genders. But this idea that teaching actual history is somehow a problem is just stupid beyond belief. I went to an overwhelmingly white school in the 1970s and when freaking Roots came out, and everybody watched it because there were like 4 channels including PBS and Roots was the biggest thing on, it caused ZERO PROBLEMS for my white friends. In fact at school the next day they were talking about "Y'all almost won that rebellion on the slave ship until they brought that cannon out." We were all 9 at the time. And this was in the deep South. Kids aren't that damn fragil. And what was my biggest takeway from Roots? When I saw the black slave catchers who kidnapped Kunta Kente at the beginning I realized that not all black people back then were my people's friends. And when I saw the poor white family help the blacks fight back against the klan after slavery I realized not all white people back then were my people's enemies. You have to be VERY low IQ to see Roots or Ruby Bridges and think it's about "how bad whitey is."

There is nothing "woke" or "garbage" about a brave little girl intergrating a school. Edit: And there's no legitimate reason to want to stop "race inclusive teaching."

Oh I remember Mohammed Ali fighting. I never saw Tyson fight prime time though because that was pay per view by then.

When I was a child I was glued to our TV set for the Olympics from the opening ceremonies to the closing. I even watched sports I didn't give a crap about like equestrian. Winter or summer it didn't matter. Bob Costas and Bryant Gumble were my gudes to this world of wonder. Now...? I might watch some highlights on YouTube.

It is never not time for a good "Two Minutes Hate". How else to demonstrate our hatred of hatred? We merely require subjects upon whom to practice such virtue ...

What of it, comrade? Don't you hate hate?

That was Justin Amash, not Thomas Massie. See this thread.

Here's Nate The Lawyer's take (the video may be set to "Members Only" soon, so if you're interested, you might want to watch it now unless you're a member of his channel): Was I Wrong About The Sonya Massey Shooting? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5hz7-nvZq8 {Nate The Lawyer | 26 July 2024} Nate also discusses the analysis of the case by John Bryan (a.k.a. The Civil Rights Lawyer) and Bruce Rivers.

And I would add that the part of his base that does know better are apt to just gloss it over and shrug it off, because they know it won't go anywhere.

I don't disagree with any of that. But "miseducating" supporters and constituents is pretty much par for course for almost every politician out there. The "chumps" (left or right, progressive or conservative) eat that shit up. (If they didn't, politicians wouldn't keep feeding it to them.) Trump is nothing special in this regard. (Ain't democracy grand?)

If you are just dead set on a governor then at least go with one that isn't so dead set against the first amendment. Hard no on Desantis. I'd take Kristi Noem with her puppy killing self first. At least she's decent to look at.

Kamala’s Palace Coup https://odysee.com/@mises:1/kamala%E2%80%99s-palace-coup:9 {Mises Media | 26 July 2024} On this episode of Radio Rothbard, Ryan McMaken and Tho Bishop discuss America’s new chapter of late-stage Soviet politics. What does the last week show about where true political power lies in the country, and what can we expect going forward? “Kamala Harris is awful” by Connor O’Keeffe: https://Mises.org/RR_196_A “Unelected technocrats are now the nation’s chief executives” by Ryan McMaken: https://Mises.org/RR_196_B

I disagree. Trump knows perfectly well that: (1) he isn't going to be able to do it (Presidents don't set prison terms for federal crimes - Congress does), and (2) if he (or Congress) tried, the courts would slap him down, toot sweet. He's just throwing red meat to the part of his base that doesn't know any better. They are the "chumps" here, not him.

I keep wondering that over and over.

Hmmm....interesting. From the story there are several laws the protestors could be prosecuted under without having a specific flag burning law: Protesters took down an American flag and replaced it with a Palestinian flag and at one point burned the U.S. flag before someone ran into the crowd and snatched it away. Theft of federal property, disorderly conduct, and violation of the federal riot statute. And that would be true if these were right wing protests who stole a Palestinian flag and set it on fire in the middle of the street. But if somone buys a flag with his own money and sets it on fire on his own property, as long as he isn't violating and burning ordinance, that should be legal.

I 100% agree with you about the video! And I like what they were doing with the website. Fauci absolutely needs to be prosecuted. The most damning evidence against Fauci is that in 2012 he said that if a pandemic resulted from GOF research it was still "worth it." That quote alone plus the fact that he funded GOF should be enough for a crimes against humanity conviction. Watch this to understand Dr. Fauci.

Part of the Constitution includes freedom of speech last time I checked. But hey, if you want to support Desantis in 2028 go for it.

This wasn't a cut. It was a tear. I've never had a chunk of skin removed from my body and it didn't start bleeding immediately. And if it's this tiny "paper cut" like injury, why the big ass bandage?
