Victims:

The “memorial” doesn’t mention that a THIRD of the Lynchings were of WHITES. 

It simply portrays the terrible injustices that were perpetrated on blacks….

New lynching memorial evokes terror of victims

It also fails to mention that that was then, this is now….And that black people have gotten MORE than their share of freebies in the past 55 years. No one gets away with lynchings anymore.

Isn’t it odd that every other group of people that were considered subhuman for a while in this country’s history has risen above? The Chinese, the Japanese….the Irish, even the Jews…Yet the blacks fail to do so, and remain victims. Even the Hspanics while still being a part of the problem, are greatly successful in the US…..

Yeah, some folks will call me a racist. Don’t care, done wore that label out.
Go look at the 3 maps I posted about  a while back…..

If you want an expensive cooler

But don’t want to buy a YETI because of their stance with the NRA:

You can always buy a Pelican Cooler…Still expensive, but not nearly as much as a YETI….Plus, made in the USA.

They claim that they will donate $10 to the NRA if you use the Promo Code “PelicanProud”.

I still think these sorts of coolers are massively overpriced for the performance they give, but hey, it’s your money.

ETA: YETI claims this is all a misunderstanding and they are just getting rid of an old discount program.

Maybe.

But their main customer demographic is “Outdoorsey” liberal millenials…and the timing is very suspicious.

If it looks like a duck…..

Give ’em credit

Wells Fargo stood fast against the AFT….and they took the hit. The bank lost the mortgage business of the American Federation of Teachers.

I’m glad at least one institution has the gust to stand up to these folks….Not just because it is (currently) firearms as the main issue of the day, but that an institution had the gust to stand up to Social Justice Warrior tactics.

I’m impressed that they didn’t fold. 

I fail to see the “discrimination”:

Bad business practices? Yes
Poor customer service? Yes

Poor treatment of customers? Probably

Rude and boorish behavior? YES.

But discrimination? Nope

One wonders how they are claiming that the company broke laws. If they didn’t carry foreign folks, that would be one thing….but obviously, they do, as they have apparently insulted many of them….Is insulting people illegal? If responding to customer complaints with derision illegal?

I wonder who Ms Madigan knows that the bus company angered…It is stuff like this that shows the abuses of power that so often happen in Illinois. After all, she is using Taxpayer funds to drive a company out of business…. Is there a “Connected” company wishing to take over those routes????

Be like James

When a gunman chose to shoot people at a Waffle House restaurant in Nashville,  Some folks hid, some folks chose not to be victims:

Mr Shaw took ACTION.
Firstly, he took cover, saving himself.
Then, when the opportunity presented itself, he chose to emerge from cover and take ACTION. He bumrushed the shooter….catching him off guard and wrestling the gun away.

“He was gonna have to work to kill me.”…..Maybe Mr. Shaw felt he had no choice, but still, he TOOK ACTION. He took damage, too, but he ACTED and he WON.

Be Like James Shaw. He likely saved his own life and the lives of many others. Action when it was needed.

He is a hero in my book. Should we ever meet, the beer is on me.

I hope, should the time ever come, that I can react halfway as well as Mr. Shaw.

I will call him “Mr.” and “Sir”. His actions are worthy of that.

I hope they release the video…..
