“Alexander Laban Hinton on his new book, Trump's snake metaphor and the rising danger of white-power movements”

This article is complete dreck. It is a Leftist fantasy penned for the consumption of social justice warrior porn. If what this article suggests has any credence at all, what happened in Philadelphia recently would never have happened. Those white supremacists would never have been run out of...

Wow. Cool if true! It's a slide show so you pretty much have to check out the link to get the whole thing, but it's a pretty cool idea.

House to vote to remove Confederate statues from the Capitol

Via: Drakkonis  •  News & Politics  •  88 Comments  •  4 years ago

“The measure passed the House in the last Congress but stalled in the GOP-controlled Senate.”

Personally, I'm not a fan of statues of anyone. I don't think anyone is perfect enough to be put on a pedestal, no pun intended. That said, I can understand why some would have a problem with some of the statues in Statuary Hall. Even so, I think removing them would be a mistake. To understand...

Oregon School District Declares Itself 'White Supremacist' | The Daily Wire

“This week, the Beaverton School District declared itself "white supremacist" in a bizarre new "Antiracist Vision Statement" put forth by an...”

Every time I see something like this I have a hard time believing it is actually happening. It strikes me in the same manner that someone claiming storing food in a sewer is a good thing to do. It is as if we are sprinting toward a society totally devoid of and emphatically not based on truth....

Is it just me?? Am I the only one who gets angry with "news" like this? I mean, this Newsweek piece could be completely made up and it wouldn't make a damn bit of difference. This "Journalist" just painted a target on the back of every American citizen living overseas. This "courageous" reporter...

US officials who are ready to fight China over Taiwan don't understand how much is at stake

Via: Drakkonis  •  News & Politics  •  1 Comments  •  4 years ago

“Opinion: Before we get into a crisis - or a war - over Taiwan, US policymakers and military leaders need to address some hard, cold realities.”

I think Mr. Davis is taking the path of Chamberlain here. I'm hardly the expert he is but it isn't difficult, especially for one who's spent 20 years in the military, to understand his reasoning. The problems he outlines are easily understood and realistic.  However, it seems equally clear to...

Democrats link Atlanta massacre to anti-Asian rhetoric during pandemic

“Many advocates said it was hard to separate the spa killings from the recent increase in anti-Asian animus, including rhetoric from former...”

This is a good example of why I have such a problem with the Democratic Party and those who support them. As of the writing of this, I have found no mention by anyone investigating this tragedy that this was racially motivated. I'm sure the Dems are aware of this as well. They don't seem to...

63% of Biden voters reject that God is 'perfect and just' creator - The Christian Post

“A new post-election survey reveals that a majority of those who voted for President Joe Biden don't believe "God is the all-powerful, all-knowing,...”

About what I expected from the left but I'm disappointed by the numbers from the right. We are losing our foundation. We're becoming more and more adrift and I don't know how that can work as a basis of holding together as a country.

Good for this Judge! If you can't be accountable for your own actions then maybe you shouldn't be allowed to participate in public life without responsible supervision. It doesn't matter if Trump directly told them in very specific words to go attack the Capitol. They have a responsibility to...
