Can China's Army Match the U.S. Army?
Reuters *Kris Osborn, National Interest:* *Can China's Army Match the U.S. Army? For Now, the Answer Is 'No'* Here's how each country is preparing for a major land war. The two-million-strong Chinese Army recently conducted massive attack drills, tested warfare scenarios and practiced combat maneuvers in a large wargame in Northwestern China, raising questions about the extent of the countries’ current preparation for a land war.

The same Democrats responsible for George Floyds death just voted to abolish the police
George Floyd died at the hands of police who were run by radical Democrats yet the Democrat and #FakeNews media narrative is that somehow it's Trump's fault. The officer at the center of this had numerous complaints against him for excessive use of force but he wasn't fired. Why? We can't know for sure but Democrats in general are very differential to unions because unions provide insane amounts of cash and in kind aid to Democrats. Unions also protect their own even when they don't deserve protecting. The buck stops not with Trump but with the Democrats who run Minneapolis and h... more »
If you want your neighborhood to be run by armed BLM and Antifa members vote Democrat in November
In Seattle armed terrorists from BLM and Antifa have taken over a 6 block part of the city and declared it an "autonomous" zone. The armed fascists refuse to allow the police to enter. Further the zone includes 500 residents and there is no indication that they were asked permission for Antifa to secede from the Union. The Democrat mayor is saying it's no big deal even as calls to the police skyrocket. Can you imagine how Democrats and the #FakeNews media would have reacted if armed men had declared part of Detroit an "autonomous" zone in protest to the draconian and capricious lo... more »
America isn't systemically racist but the Democrat party is
Multiple studies show that cops are no more likely to shoot innocent Blacks than they are to shoot innocent whites. When George Floyd died everyone, even Hitler himself Donald Trump, condemned the cops actions. There isn't a credible conservative to be found who in any way justified what happened to Floyd. If you want to know what a systemically racist society looks like go look at the Democrat run South of the first half of the last century. Cops could and did kill Blacks with impunity and Democrat politicians didn't bemoan that. We've elected a Black President twice, Republican ... more »

Like the moon, the masses have two sides, one side is visible and bright while the other side is invisible and dark. The visible side of the masses yearns for a society in which all human beings can pursue their rational ambitions and live a good life, but the invisible side has on it the predilections created by false values, in which feelings of irrationalism, jealousy, and hatred are inbuilt. The contest between the visible and the invisible side of the masses determines the course of a nation’s politics.

I knew he was demented, I knew his followers were grasping and gasping, but I never in a million years could have believed a Democrat who lived through the glory days of the Civil Rights movement, who personally knew and approved of KKK members of Congress, who helped pass much of the legislation that has oppressed blacks for 4 decades could compare MLK with Floyd, who was high on drugs and committing a crime when he encountered a bad cop protected by a Democrat administration and his union.
