Cinco de Mayo.
A date celebrating the victory of the Mexican Army over the French Army at the Battle of Puebla.
It is, oddly enough, not a holiday that is celebrated in Mexico…..only by “Mexicans” in the United States. (Wikipedia link)
Odd that. Real Mexican’s don’t bother…
You’ll likely hear shit from La Raza types about the “Reconquista” and such on 5/5…
But don’t let anyone tell you it is a Mexican holiday, or a Mexican celebration. It isn’t. It is an American “Mexican” holiday.
Seen in Prescott, AZ
I would bet that Reince Preibus (Reinhold Richard “Reince” Priebus) has had a sleepless night.
with all the polling he has access to, Cruz’s decision likely wasn’t a surprise, but still….
Perhaps after this the RNC will find a decent leader.
Drops out.
Not sure that I like the idea of a Trump prezident, but he is the best of a series of bad options.
If only the GOP had supported a winner instead of the crop of losers they offered us.
Now I gotta wonder what they are gonna do at the convention?
Via Wirecutter we get this article:
Small acts of Cowardice are Destroying our Culture.
And yes, he’s right. I stand up sometimes, but often because the chance of retribution seems to not be worth the win, I just shut up.
Lots of time I am the only voice in the room. No support.
So I just shut up too.
I plead guilty.
How about you?
“when Democracy turns to tyranny, the armed citizen still gets a vote”
That the GOP Led Congress REPEALED OBAMACARE and Barry O vetoed the bill.
Not from the MSM did you hear anything.
BUT WHY DO YOU NOT HEAR ANYTHING FROM THE GOP? why don’t you hear the Republican Congressmen telling everyone that they at least tried?
Because, basically, the GOP doesn’t want to bother repealing that turd anymore.
And they wonder why I won’t support ’em at all….
So I signed up of a Dicks Sporting Goods points card (the first time I had been in a Dick’s in over 10 years, after I had been treated badly by the local store and the corporate management). Gotta give ’em an email in order to validate the points account.
Was treated well on my return trip, and they (might ) have had a new customer….
But then I got 34 advertising emails in one week. 34. They have had my email for 8 days.
Seeya.
Couple of points:
When a black man murders white people, for some reason it isn’t “racially motivated”, but when a white kid kills some black people, it must be racially motivated. Couldn’t just be crime, could it?
And because he once wore a cap that had a Confederate flag, we must scrub all the US from ever having anything honoring the dedication and honorable service of the confederate soldiers.
If every time a back man murdered a white person, can we strip some statue of MLK? Or (perhaps) remove Harriet Tubman from replacing a white guy on currency? If we find that the black kid committing a crime has an X hat, can we start changing the street names and other monuments to the Black civil rights movement?
Logic would say so…
And then there is this bullshit. (and I actually agree with his ENTIRE statement about when power and responsibility should shift. …)
ETA: For those assholes who won’t bother to learn the quote that I am referring to:
“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people,” ” (this was in the early 70’s, BTW)
Now where, exactly was that racist? (see also Baltimore and Detroit for examples as to why he was correct…..)
