THAT DENIS LEARY SONG IS MORE APROPOS THAN YOU REALIZE, MR. HICKS

G. Dane Hicks of Garnett, Kansas, doesn't seem to be your typical Republican county chairman.

A loose network of Facebook groups that took root across the country in April to organize protests over coronavirus stay-at-home orders has become a hub of misinformation and conspiracy theories that have pivoted to a variety of new targets. Their latest: Black Lives Matter and the nationwide protests of racial injustice. These groups, which now boast a collective audience of more than 1 million members, are still thriving after most states started lifting virus restrictions. And many have expanded their focus. One group transformed itself last month from “Reopen California” to ... more »

What It’s Like To Not Pay Rent, According To Striking Tenants

Kevin Zeese at PopularResistance.Org - 9 hours ago
Defective locks make for dubious building security. Walls sag with water damage and look as if they’re melting. An infestation of vermin plagues apartments. These are the conditions that some tenants in an apartment building on Sheridan Avenue in the South Bronx have endured for years. But it was the outbreak of COVID-19 in March that was the final straw. Now, 14 tenants in the 30-unit brick building have collectively withheld rent. With the help of the tenant group Community Action for Safe Apartments (CASA), they have urged their landlord, multinational Monarch Realty Holdings, t... more »

*Rapper Lord Jamar* The sentients already knew this. We all knew that BLM was yet another confection from the sick mind of the evil George Soros...just like the pink pussy cat hats and all the other faux "popular movements". Western humanity *hasn't had a real leader since JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X*...and you know what happened* to them*. If a real leader ever springs up again in the West you'll know it immediately. They'll be reputationally 'tarred and feathered' by the M*Z*M and if they don't go away after that...then they'll be "grassy knolled" or suicided. Here's a rare... more »

The Devil’s Pitchfork: Seeking the Origin of Our Present Troubles – American Thinker

j at Wake Up To The Truth - 9 hours ago
July 5, 2020 By David Solway The progressivist campaign to destroy America is three-pronged, the tines of the devil’s pitchfork, namely: de-individuation, de-historicizing, and what I’m tempted to call pre-eminent domain (the power of the state to take more than one’s physical property). In other words, it is a war against three intimately related … Continue reading The Devil’s Pitchfork: Seeking the Origin of Our Present Troubles – American Thinker →

While many Americans will go to *any *length to buy American and will choose a Smith & Wesson or Colt when it comes to handguns, just like many Americans swear by Ford and GM, there are those who prefer what the Europeans use. In the case of cars it might be BMWs and Mercedes. In handguns, it means Sig Sauer and, more commonly, Glock.

Democrats hate the 4th of July

trinko at Conversations about the obvious - 10 hours ago
After all America, according to Democrats, was founded to protect slavery. That's right; America wasn't founded for freedom, to avoid taxation without representation, or to provide religious liberty. According to the 1619 project, a bit of fiction rejected by all serious historians, America is all about slavery. Never mind the fact that most of America didn't allow slaves or that the bloodiest war in American history was fought to end slavery. To Democrats and the Blacks that serve them the Civil War never happened. Given that the Democrats lost that one it makes sense for them to ... more »
