Polling by an Arab polling firm in Gaza showed that an overwhelming majority of Gazans support the terrorist group Hamas and also support their Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israeli civilians. Muslim marchers here have also supported the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, have raised Palesitnian flags in place of American flags, have chanted "Death to America, have blocked roads, bridges, airports, and other infrastructure, and chant support for eliminating all Israelis in Israel. They are NOT what we need in this country. Not only should we not bring any more in, but we need to send as many as we can that are already here back home. We do not need terrorist supporting scum.

CV - Yes. I've had the same experience, and you are right. It is worse today. For one thing it is much more likely to be violent today. Cancel culture is very totalitarian in nature.

Trump's record in governing beats the pants off of the pathetic and dictatorial Biden regime. And WOKE is who has the actual record of "burning it all down".

As to undergraduate universities, when I was studying at one in the 1970s, there were lots of left-liberal professors who wore it on their sleave but darn few conservatives, and the few that were conservative rarely said anything to show it openly in class. From students I have talked to, it is much, much worse today. More balance is desperately needed in universities.

Hooray for Florida and other places that are protecting consumers from Franken-meat.

The climate alarmists are up to other tricks like the left-liberal German government proposing big new taxes on real meat. Just wait for the Biden globalists to try to copy that.

There Bobbie goes again, reverting to racial comments. His original point was claiming the there were significantly different perspectives on the American Revolution between Brits and Americans. So I pointed out that the perspective in British history museums I had visited in the UK had a very similar perspective on the American Revolution as US sources. Then he said, Oh No, it was only books that counted. So I pointed out that the perspective of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 in a history book written by one of the most prominient British leaders of all time, Sir Winston Churchill was also very similar to that of American sources. So NOW, Bobbie wants an opinion by an AFRICAN SLAVE??????!!!!!! What does that have to do with ANYTHING on the perspectives of American and British sources about the American Revolution?????

I would point out to Bobbie, that when slavery was abolished in the British isles under Prime Minister Earl Grey, the British packed all of their former slaves off to Sierra Leone in Africa, so it would be difficult to find an opinion from a former British slave or their descendants on the subject. I have read books by two former US slaves, Frederick Douglass and another less famous whose name I have forgotten, and I do not recall any comments on the American Revolution by either of them.

Bobbie keeps graphing at straws, but his argument is bogus.

Since it appears my last comment was not posted I'll try again. JS - try a book not written by a white guy.
