Now we are told “Maybe Next Year”. Trump “Takes the Wall off the table in Budget negotiations“.
I think he ought to sell sponsorships in one foot sections to citizens for $100 each. I bet he could pay for the wall that way.
So now we can add the Wall to the failures and broken promises, along with Repeal. 2 big promises that got him elected are being tossed by the wayside.
So they are taking down another set of Confederate memorials today….
Because when we decide MLK was not who you feel he was, when we decide he becomes irrelevant, when we choose to claim he was racist, or this deeds were hate speech, as this originated at…because some asshole wearing a Black Power patch on his jacket kills a white man, or wearing a Malcom X “X” shoots and kills a bunch of white folks…
You gonna dare to stop us from removing a statue or a bust of MLK?
‘Cause so far, people have been decent and let you get away with trashing their memorials to their heritage. You claim “racist” but those folks were all a hundred or more years ago.
What you mean is that you want to show how much power you have, as black people.
Symbols mean things to people. Just as you claim that that civil war memorial is “racist” and you revere the Statue of Martin Luther King……so does that “Confederate” statue stand for the heritage of the families that built the south.
No, it wasn’t on the backs of the blacks despite what your current version of history might represent….
Learn the truth, deal with the fact that those memorials are there and shut up and find a black person who will do something important enough to be memorialized and then pay for a statue or memorial for that person…..
‘Cause otherwise, someone is gonna start finding ways to denigrate MLK and we will begin finding excuse (like every black on white crime) to rename his streets and parks and then eventually pull down his statues (most of which were paid for by whites as taxpayers).
If y’all keep this up, yo won’t like how it ends,
It is odd that seemingly none of the hate crimes that are reported are real, isn’t it? I cannot find a single “Hate Crime” that was actually, you know, legitimate.
Odd, that.
Build that wall!!!
Where are they now? What have they got to say for themselves? I’ve lived here on this Earth the entire time…since before there was an Earth Day. I haven’t seen these terrible results happen…..
“The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” — Kenneth Watt
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” — Stanford University biologist Paul Ehrlich
“By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate… that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, ‘Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, ‘I am very sorry, there isn’t any.'” — Ecologist Kenneth Watt
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” — Denis Hayes, Chief organizer for Earth Day
“In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution… by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half.” — Life magazine
These folks made a fair amount of money during their career…. Is anyone asking for a refund?
I’d love to see Scientific American, or Nature, or National Geographic interview these folks if they are still alive….see what they have to say about their dire predictions.
‘Cause we have more oil, less pollution, no “Glowbal Cooling” (Now we have passed to “Glowbal Warmering”, and since that didn’t pan out either, it is now “Climate Change”)… More food (where the governments haven’t failed their citizens and caused shortages) and better overall living conditions for nearly everyone in the world since 1970.
Or you own property in Providence…….(Rhode Island, that is)….
Then I’d advise you to sell, or tell your friends and/or family to sell their property as soon as possible.
Providence has chosen to become a lawless city.
Look at what happened to crime in Chicago when Mayor Rahm and the feds got through hobbling the police force.
The place will be a shithole in less than 2 years. Maybe less than a year…Bet on it.
Yes, it was heading that way already, but when one is in a car heading for a cliff, it is best to keep your foot off of the gas pedal.
And reports are that the “Far Right” is expected to do well…
Duh.
The current bunch welcomed a bunch of Muslims with no vetting at all into the country.
And like in any group of people, there were good ones and bad ones.
You never hear about the good ones, of course. They just quietly go about their lives. Most refugees are decent…
But the bad ones take a terrible toll. And yes, there are a bunch of bad ones in the “Refugees” that are making their way throughout western Europe…..welcomed by (among others) the French government. And the French are noticing that their crime rate is climbing, and it is nearly all Muslims doing it.
And people are surprised that LePen and others are gonna do well?
I want the REPEAL that was promised. Promised during the campaign.
FULL FUCKING REPEAL. Absolute full repeal.
Nothing less will do.
Kinda like what the British had in mind, lo that many years ago….
Men, free citizens with firearms and other weapons EQUAL to those of the “authorities”, were able to fight back and to make sure that their voices were heard and that they were able to determine their destiny.
Things are the same today….. If that were the choice chosen.
An armed man is a citizen. An unarmed citizen is, of course, a serf.
That is being demonstrated today in Venezuela.
