I wonder how the clinton news network will spin this given their recent narratives??
U.S. Forces Korea announced Saturday the wooden “Temporary Transit Cases” had been sent to the DMZ as North Korea prepares to return the remains of fallen American service members who died during the Korean War.
U.S. Forces Korea spokesman Col. Chad Carroll told Fox News the military also sent 158 metal cases to a U.S. airbase outside of Seoul to transfer the remains to the U.S.
South Korean news outlet Yonhap News Agency reported that the cases would be stored in Panmunjom, a border town, for several days before they are sent to North Korea to receive the American remains.

The county really dodged a bullet. Here is what Hillary Hodge writes on her Facebook page. Sent to me by a friend.
“Please understand that if you are living with the possibility that the Trump regime has a silver lining, you are living with privilege. If a part of our community is living with hope for the Trump era, please know this: We are not the immigrants at the border, our children ripped from us. We are not young black men, dying at the hands of police brutality, or their parents, terrified at the possibility. We are not vulnerable young women, losing our healthcare and family planning options,or the victims of rape watching our assailants walk away with 3 months, 6 months or less. We are not poor college graduates, suffering under crushing college debt, wondering how to make ends meet with no-benefit jobs and sky-rocketing rents. We are not LGBTQ people being fired from our jobs, discriminated against in communities or being beaten to death by cleansing gangs. We are not foreign-born citizens, targeted for our accents or the color of our skin. We are not fixed-income seniors who worked our entire lives paying into a social security income only to have it stolen from us in our golden years. We are not the victims of heightened racial tension, nor the victims of the uptick in hate-crimes. For those living with the privilege of distance from the Trump regime, they have the opportunity to have perspective. For those of us directly suffering from the impacts the policies of this administration is having, we do not have the same privilege. Perspective will be too late.”

So much money and extra resources they plunked down 150 million on political advocacy for Hillary in the 2016 election cycle, and way more than that across the board. They even manned the phone banks for our Progressive candidates.

“Can we all get along? Can we get along.” Ricky McViegh @ 10:12 in the am.
Well, it’s kinda of hard to get along with the savages on the Left. Sure, we tolerate them because that is who we are on the Right, but we don’t venture into their safe places or stoop down to their level to get along with them.
Here is what I mean by it’s kinda hard to get along with them. Take the last week or so. Now, to illustrate the difficulties we face about getting along with the Leftists, I will replace the names of the current First Lady with the names of the previous First Family.
Ready?
1) Samatha Bee (upset about President Obama caging immigrant children) says to Maila Ann Obama, “Do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt! He listens to you! Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fuckin’ stop it.” No problem with that, eh? That makes Samatha Bee, a C list actress, a A Lister as she instantly shoots up a couple notches on the totem poll.
2). Peter Fonda, also upset over Obama’s policy of caging of migrant children, tweeted, “rip Sasha Obama from her mother’s arms and put her in a cage with pedophiles.”. No problem with that. In fact, the former actor who has been off the radar for decades, just saw his stock jump from obscurity to stardom in 30 seconds…..or less. Our hero!
3). The Raging Bull DeNiro, on national television, grabbed the mic and declared right out of the gate, “First thing’s first: “F*** Obama” he said, fists upraised as the audience gave him a standing ovation. “It’s no longer, ‘Down with Obama, it’s ‘F*** Barrack Obama’”. Man, that brought the house down as the wildly cheering crowd of all the beautiful people felt their spirits soar in one big interconnected group climax.
Ok, lesson time over. I ain’t to sure I know how to get along with that. Been in jail, been to the Penitentiary, been to Skid Row and Tobacco Road, been to the barrios, the ghetto, the penthouse, the outhouse, the most expensive universities, walked on the red carpet, sleep on dirt floors, and made my residence inside the Gates of Hell. Been to the redwoods, the desert, and the jungles with screaming monkeys virberating in my head. And nothing, absolutely nothing in my life has ever prepared me for getting along with those kind of degenerates on the Left.
Can’t we just get along? Sure, if you are willing to sell your soul and walk back inside the Gates of Hell.

Then what do you do when the narrative fails?
This, then, raises the question: Where do Democrats and their “Never Trump” conservative hangers-on go next, rhetorically, having spent their shot on the border issue? Anything less than full accusations of Nazism will seem tame by comparison. Now that Trump is “actually Hitler,” any compromise by Democrats will be viewed as kowtowing to fascism. Conversely, sticking with the Nazism line of attack cheapens its effect and, frankly, makes its proponents come off as a little more than unhinged, something perhaps already at play given that a Gallup poll has put Trump at his highest approval rating to date.
Is this perhaps the last, desperate gasp of the president’s critics? Do they double down and ride the Trump-as-Hitler narrative — and themselves — into the ground until November’s midterms and beyond? Undoubtedly, the president is ready to chum the waters with another carefully manufactured outrage to distract the pundit class.
Despite what should have been a slam-dunk for critics of the president, the overwrought rhetoric of Democrats may have handed the modern-day Teflon Don another victory, and harmed their longer-term prospects in the process.

I believe there’s a difference, albeit a subtle one. The bakers refused to make a certain product, somewhat in the way a Halal restaurant wouldn’t make you a ham sammich.
The restaurant refused to sell something to a person because of their political beliefs
Of course, gays are protected and white Republican wimmenz aren’t, so there is that.
I’m think I’m in favor of being able to refuse service to anyone, at least in the case of private businesses. Of course, you do end up with segregated lunch counters, so it’s a mixed bag. Determining the reason for refusing trade is too tricky, so it might as well be all or nothing.
Heck, let’s go for it. All the businesses in NC/GV can hang up a red or a blue sign (or both perhaps) showing which party they favor. I think it would be a great experiment and no doubt one that HH would favor given her semi-regular rants. It would be kind of fun and we’d all learn something.

Great timing. I was going to start this day with something along the lines you posted, but I digressed. They can call Trump a Nazi until the cows come home. The Maoists calling Trump a Nazi. How deciliously insightful. Skunk smells his own first and all that jazz.
But, this is what I want to hit on. I have waiting patiently for this moment and it arrived. From your link to my heart.
“On Friday, an MSNBC commentator extended the Nazi label to every Trump supporter, declaring: “If you vote for Trump then you, the voter, you, not Donald Trump, are standing at the border, like Nazis, going: ‘You here, you here.’”
Rejoice! Rejoice oh forgotten ones. The time has arrived with gusto.
It has been proven as an undeniable fact that it is an act of political suicide to dis Trump supporters…er…Trump voters, Trumptski maniacs. It gains Trump more support each and every time. It solidifies and grows the base. Slam Trump, but not little ole bitter clingers.
Even My Gal the slush, who depicted half of all TRUMP SUPPORTERS as a basket full of DeplorableS and the other half of TRUMP SUPPORTERS as irredeemableS, quickly said, “Oh, no. I was talking about Trump, not his supporters”, ROFLMAO. She knew, she knew. She may be poticicallt tone deaf, but even My Gal knew she kicked the hornets nest with that one.
To repeat: call Trump anything you please, but once you start in on Trump supporters, time to kiss your Lilly White (ax handle width) ass goodbye.

“A visitor from Alleghany County who had dined at the Red Hen in the past for special occasions, said that, though an “ardent anti-Trump person,” he still did not support Wilkinson’s action. “As a business owner it’s your business to serve everyone no matter their politics or sexual orientation,” he said.”

Text message exchanges show Waldman offered to connect Warner with Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence agent behind the dubious anti-Trump dosser.
“We have so much to discuss u need to be careful but we can help our country,” Warner told Waldman in Mark of 2017.

You can make the argument that the flags are extended to the HR departments of companies. In California at least, you can have a strong political culture in a company coming from the top down. This is especially bad in sole proprietorships since practically everything happens at the whim of the guy in the middle. Google could stand to have a blue banner as big as a house out front.
In any case, downtown retail would be a good place to start.

Oh well, one man’s terrorism is another man’s freedom fighter. Twitter, youtube, and the like don’t hesitate to shut down accounts that they disagree with, although they rarely seem to be real-deal terrorists. You’d have to have more energy than I do to keep Arab and Persian politics straight, although I expect they’ll just move to another website. Assuming for a moment that twitter etc. are actually impartial (a huge stretch), it seems like a lot to ask to get them to censor subject to 100+ countries laws and the millions of opinions that everyone brings to the table. I don’t doubt that they’re all working on esthetic AI’s that do the work in the background, but that’s a non-trivial job to be sure.
Free speech on the margins is a tricky matter. I suppose the British will deal with it by making most videos illegal to watch and by forcing everyone to turn in sharp items.

Reality check for all the lefty globalist chicken littles –
Washington has sent a clear and loud message to China in recent months: you can no longer take the American market for granted. You must develop your own market, so as to balance the trade books.
That’s why Washington has announced a host of tariffs on products imported from China.
This message isn’t new. It echoes a similar message America sent to Japan back on September 22, 1985, at the Plaza Accord.
That’s when the Japanese economy was growing by leaps and bounds by running a big trading surplus with the US.
We know what happened in the aftermath of the Plaza Accord. The Japanese economy went on a rollercoaster ride before descending into a prolonged stagnation that has lasted to this day.
Once a serious contender for world leadership, Japan is now counting lost decades.
Will China follow the same fate?
