-Great Cultural Revolution
More statues come down, but will anything improve in the Black neighborhood?
[American Thinker] They made some news at Charlottesville over the last few days:
The city of Charlottesville, Virginia, officially removed its statues of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee and Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson on Saturday.

The mayor then explained it all:
Mayor Walker says the statue coming down is "one small step forward" in a bigger push to accurately teach history, invest in wealth gaps, and dismantle white supremacy.

Well, let's see how those predictions work out, especially the one about investing in wealth gaps or dismantling white supremacy.

Next week, black Americans in Charlottesville won't see those statues anymore. They will continue to see lousy public schools, walk in dangerous streets, and hear about the next school name that must go. In reality, their lives won't be improved much until the political class talks about black-on-black crime and fatherlessness at home.

#2  If things improved, they would lose their grievance. And then what battering ram would leftists have against America? No, things will remain bad. Forever.

#3  Improve - is that the proper term for when police don't go there anymore?

-Land of the Free
Meet the ‘America First' Pub Running Against a RINO in WA
[Townhall] Joe Kent is no stranger to service and sacrifice. He served in our armed forces. He was deployed on 11 combat tours. He is a Gold Star husband. His wife, Shannon, who served in the US Navy, was killed in Syria fighting ISIS in January 2019. Kent wrote about how Donald Trump comforted him in his time of immense grief at Dover.

After the death of his wife, Kent moved back home to the Pacific Northwest with his two young sons and resigned from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). After Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler decided to vote for Trump's second impeachment and allowed Antifa to run wild in the district, Kent decided to run against her in Washington's third congressional district.

{T}he former special forces and intelligence services veteran is an unapologetic "America first" Republican. He's for tax cuts, ending the COVID lockdowns, confronting the Chinese threat, stopping our endless wars, pro-police, and ensuring we have election integrity. And he speaks at length on each topic. Ask him and you'll get a genuine response, not some swamp-soaked DC speak we so often hear.
Third District is across the Colombia River from Portland, Oregon and includes the cities of Vancouver, Longview, and the State Capital of Olympia.

Government Corruption
Does anyone see something very wrong with the recent spate of MSM reports and US Military releases about UFOs?!
BLUF:
[SOTN] By the way, there’s a very good (really BAD reason) why they are floating so many UFOs here, there, and everywhere around the world today. They have been using the CIA’s Mockingbird Media to deceive the American people this way for decades, but now more than ever.

This unrelenting global hoax allows the highest echelons of U.S. Military, which have been deeply involved in the countless ’alien abductions’ for experimentation purposes, to claim that it’s the evil aliens that are performing such atrocious experiments on both humanity and the many mutilated cattle. As follows:

#1  But, but, but we've all seen the movies! The question still remains, why do we never see Mexican grounds keepers, elderly pensioners, or people like Stacey Abrams in these abduction portrayals ?

If you're actually out there, please respond.

#2  We are responding....

She - Stacey Abrams - is too busy - We Aliens don't want to disturb her, she is working for us and others.

#17  ^^^^^
The Tom Collins is a Collins cocktail made from gin, lemon juice, sugar, and carbonated water. First memorialized in writing in 1876 by Jerry Thomas, "the father of American mixology", this "gin and sparkling lemonade" drink is typically served in a Collins glass over ice. A "Collins mix" can be bought premixed at stores and enjoyed alone or with gin.

#20  On that topic there is good and bad news
The bad news is, by now and with all the news about UFOs, you know we earthlings have been invaded.
The good news is the aliens have stopped eating beef, and have switched to eating world minority citizens, and as they, the aliens are called Petrolians, they piss gasoline.

#23  The out of work monkeys have nothing better to do.

It is the 21st century. All the cool monkeys have evolved the ability to multi-task so we can attend the Monday Zoom meeting with corporate, eat Cheetos and play CS:GO all at the same time.
