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.

If it’s still Kamala, it’ll be Mark Kelly.

Just heard Trump is coming back to Butler for another rally. This is going to be EPIC! (Sorry guys, I have lots of issues with his policies, but this dude is a boss!)

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.

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.

"Everyone ends up in the same place" Does that mean everyone puts in the same effort, too???? Because we all know how that thinking turns out - if you think you're going to end up in the same place anyway, why bother trying???

And of course, Voltaire quote in my signature.

Exactly! We can't let them bury this! This is their memory hole tactic where they take anything inconvenient for the narrative and hide it and replace it with some new nonsense like Kamala Harris is the second coming. This may be the final death knell of the corporate press. I think the majority of the public are now starting to see how they're being manipulated. Thank God Musk bought Twitter!

Ok, this is starting to get more press... (albeit, still unconfirmed) https://www.businesstoday.in/world/us/story/trump-shooter-thomas-crooks-social-media-activity-shows-support-for-joe-biden-was-set-to-attend-democratic-partys-convention-in-august-438857-2024-07-26

Obviously, the bandage was symbolic. But yes, he did get shot. By a bullet. And he was lucky as hell! 3 other people were not so lucky.

Oh, yes. He's definitely down with the project. And in a better position to pull it off, because the fedgov.com has fought hard in the courts to make illegals (along with the borders) a federal issue. So he'll seem to be making a logical case for federal cops nationwide on the pretext that they'll automatically expel them. Whether they will or not is another question. But... ... federal cops are a bad idea. Let the feds take over everything and you'll have to convince eighty million voters that the brown water coming out of your tap is more important than abortions and closed churches and various wars combined. If you can't, enjoy distilling your tap water. They are both the Uniparty and they're both equally awful on this. Next issue?

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?
