OK, you guys love this kind of stuff. Ever wonder why a divided country is so important to the rich and powerful? They figure if we keep busy fighting amongst ourselves, we wont notice the forever chemicals in our drinking water, the plastics in our food, a warming climate, over use of pesticides, animal cruelty in modern agriculture or the over use of anti-biotics.
Yup...much more important to smite the gays than tackle real problems.
The rich buy the politicians, and the politicians keep your eye away from what they do. Wish the people on this chat might get interested in actual problems facing humanity.

One of the worst examples of how the censorship alliance between government and private entities interfered in the 2020 election was the suppression of information about the Hunter Biden laptop, which at least the govenrment actors knew was an accurate story but worked to suppress it anyway to help Joe Biden politically. Post election polling showed that if this information had not been suppressed and voters had known about it, Trump would have won.

I remember when some leftist called Thunberg Joan of Arc, and my first thought was "when's the bonfire?" It has always been known that she has a variety of mental health issues.

But when it comes to the crazy eyes on this junior league dingbat Thunberg, the best comparison I have seen was a large banner of her put up in California posted beside beside a Hitler banner from Nuremburg in the 1930s. The facial expressions and crazy look in the eyes were identical. It was uncanny.

One has to remember that Hitler used environmentalism in his politics, just like Thunberg. Now Thunberg is pushing Hitler's position on the Jews.

Growth????? The massive forced bussing ordered by Judge McMillan was a losing situation for everybody. The students bussed out from the predominantly black high schools to majority white high schools did not want to go, the blacks already there were caught in tricky, delicate, and uncomfortable situations due to resentments from the blacks being bussed in. For whites there was a lot of chaos that disrupted education.

These problems persisted beyond that first year. The very next year, the first white student walkout occured at South Mecklenburg. A white girl whose class was in the school library asked to go to the restroom and did. When she walked in, there were some of the Second Ward black girls in there cutting class and they jumped her, holding her down and beating her while she called for help. A student government officer was walking down the hall toward the principal's office, heard the cry for help, and went in and rescued her. The only student disciplined was the white boy who rescued the girl, who was suspended for going in a girl's restroom (different era, I guess!). The next day there was a student walkout and protest, which most white students and many of the rural blacks as well, from what I was told, participated in. Unfortunately, my high school German teacher, Mr. Idol, got fired over that. He had gone out for a pizza the evening before the walkout, and there were a bunch of students in the pizza place talking about the incident and what to do about it. Mr. Idol had agreed it was wrong to suspend the rescuer and not the assailants and suggested a petition to take to the school board. Apparently that was enough for the principal to blame him for the walkout and protest.

A couple of years later, bussing was still festering as an issue in the Mecklenburg County schools. When a bussing dispute arose in Boston, somebody got an idea to bring some students up from those schools to tell Boston that bussing was okay, and did so. This infuriated many other students who still were upset over bussing, and the next day, anti-bussing demonstrations broke out at all of the high schools and some of the junior highs in Mecklenburg County, and from the news footage I watched, there were both white and black students participating in those protests.

Judge McMillan paid a personal price for his radical social engineering court order. He was a member of the Myers Park Country Club, the most elite upscale country club in the county. My brother's girlfriend's family were also members so I heard the impact there. After McMillan's order, the rest of the members gave him the silent treatment, refusing to talk to him. He would try to talk to people he had known for years and they just ignored him like he was not there. He stayed away months, apparently hoping it would blow over but it did not. When he went back, he was still given the silent treatment. His ruling made him a pariah in the community.

Bob, you use the term "growth" and that might be an appropriate term if you used it in the sense of a "growth" that is discovered on a liver, kidney, or other vital organ. Bussing severely damaged the educational experience of all races. It is a very distinct issue from integration, something that was positive for education.

I like how that had to separate you two. That was funny.

Sounds like the cackle of old men has beens. Bitter, knowing that they are beat and that We the people are on to their manipulative word salads.

Nice try Stan… and to the readers: you’re being hoodwinked.

Marc Elias is the sleazeball lawyer from the 2020 election who ought to be under indictment. He was behind lots of partisan election rigging and is still at it.

Invasion of western countries by illegal aliens is becoming an issue for left wing as well as conservative voters. Anti-immigration parties of the left did well in the redent parliamentary election in Slovakia, for example.

It is time more voters on the left in the US paid attention. The recent demonstrations in black neighborhoods in Chicago vowing to vote Republican or Independent rather than Democrat over the influx of illegal aliens is one sign that voters of the left are indeed starting to pay attention here.
