Definitely the epitome Dr. King’s words and deeds more than any race baiting divisive Lying Lefty Leader of the Party of Victimhood and Outrage.

I think that the stronger point here is that the split between Left and Right currently is about the value of the state generally. It’s fairly obvious throughout the West that a large part of the population has thrown in their lot with foreign nationals and foreign cultures. The short version is that they value outsiders more than their neighbors.
In a nutshell, that’s why they’ve lost ownership to the Fourth of July.

Scenes, you could be right. The left has found a way to undermine the country through the culture. With their control of the education system and Hollywood, they have made the divide a stark one. These Kentucky kids are the latest attempt to divide by the powers of darkness. How they could demean a young 15-year-old boy for standing still with a smile as a nut bangs a drum in his face is beyond me. But they do. The whole video showed that some Black kids were taunting these boys for an hour and yet not one reprisal from them. They had class and manners. Yet the media tried to make them the boogeymen. Even local yellow “journalist” Pelline will not tell the truth about the “incident”.

Might be another media Leftinista darling like Senator Stolen Valor Bloomenthal.
Todd, yep, it’s true. The Leftinistas claim only white people can be racists. Moi is exempt. And if you disagree, that makes you a racist like M, lol. They write the rules.
It does make one search hard nowadays to find non fakenews. The same Buzzfeed coke head that wrote the last debunked story is the same guy who wrote that Karl Rove got indicted by Special Counsel Livingston in the Scooter Libby affair, ROFLMAO.
Those kids from Covengton HS showed more maturity and grace under fire than the racists adults hurling unrepeatable insults and racial epithets at the children on a field trip. The creepy slimly vicious Leftinistas hurled so many hateful cuss words at the children that the fakenews corrupt media had to beep out every other word, lol.
Trump does not have to say anything about some of the press being the enemy of the people. The media is doing a fine job all by themselves. Just give them nine miles of pavement and a little big rope.
The tolerate Leftsts now threatens to murder school children. That is how the extremists murder millions of people. Telling children they are products of incest, they should have been aborted, calling them homophobic slurs, racial slurs…..the Leftinistas are a bloodthirsty lynch mob who hide behind the skirts of the Industrial Media Complex. And we have the same slimeballs in Congress. All one has to do is preface one’s statement with the magic phrase, “If this is true” to spread lies, hate, and vitriol. Sweet.

Good morning y’all. Quotes from this moment in space and time.
Broken clock: “There are two sides to every story. I made a snap judgment based on a photograph & I know better than to judge a book by its cover. I wasn’t there. I shouldn’t have commented. I’m glad there wasn’t violence. I hope theses two men can meet and find common ground as can WE ALL!” —Jamie Lee Curtis on the Left’s botched story on Catholic boys and a Native American
Race bait I: “The red MAGA hat is the new white hood. Without white boys being able to empathize with other people, humanity will continue to destroy itself.” —Alyssa Milano
Race bait II: “Killing some white people isn’t genocide; it’s killing some white people. We had to kill some white people to get out of slavery. Maybe if we’d killed more during the 20th century we still wouldn’t talk about racialized voter disenfranchisement and housing, education, and employment discrimination. This should not be controversial.” —University of Georgia teaching assistant Irami Osei-Frimpong
Race bait III: “It gives me no pleasure to tell you that we now have a president of the United States who is a racist. … Instead of bringing us together as Americans, he has purposely and aggressively attempted to divide us up by the color of our skin, by our gender, by our nationality, by our religion. and by our sexual orientation.” —Bernie Sanders perfectly explaining the Democrat strategy
Village idiots: “The reply from the [Covington] school was pathetic and impotent. Name these kids. I want NAMES. Shame them. If you think these f—ers wouldn’t dox you in a heartbeat, think again.” —Kathy Griffin
You don’t say: “We’ve learned in the last two years, it doesn’t take much to awaken hate.” —Joe Biden (Yep, all it takes is seeing a MAGA hat and leftists lose their minds.)
Dezinformatsiya: “We’re being told to stand our ground. Our reporting [on Michael Cohen] is going to be borne out to be accurate, and we’re 100% behind it.”—BuzzFeed’s Anthony Cormier
Non Compos Mentis: ”[The BuzzFeed debacle] just shows more evidence that perhaps this president did obstruct justice.“ —Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand
Hot air: “The world is gonna end in 12 years if we don’t address climate change and your biggest issue is how are we gonna pay for it?” —Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Good pic for Kavanaugh’s old seat:
It is a neat little trick to arbitrarily set up a line of tolerable opinions, a narrow Overton window of conformity, in which many debates or discussions are considered beyond the pale. Even attempting those ideas or debates set one up for discrimination by a group of enlightened peers and is considered an attack on a person, because politics, you see, is after all, always irredeemably personal.
For example, if someone is religious, he or she is automatically unworthy because the “dogma inevitably lives loudly within them” regardless of how fair he or she might be. This is a classic case of Freudian projection whereby a group of people who cannot see life outside of a partisan lens thinks everyone on the other side must be rabidly partisan like them.“………….
Quoting Camille Paglia, Rao wrote something considered poison in the current climate, that there is currently a “dangerous feminist idealism which teaches women that they are equal. Women believe falsely that they should be able to go anywhere with anyone.” Needless to say, the reactions to these have been swift from liberal publications, which are increasingly indistinguishable from activism blogs.
Ignore that these were written during college years, as that has no bearing on the merit of any argument. Some individuals can make coherent, logical, thought-provoking arguments when they are in their first year of college, and some cannot, even when they are 55. A sense of logic has nothing to do with age, and it is a lazy line of argument.
The backlash against Rao has nothing to do with her being in college or even having arguably appalling views. It is simply because she highlighted paradoxes that have no answer, other than charges of racism and sexism.”

Look at how we are out of sync and have no merit based immigration. Check out NZ’s restrictions. Who cares about 15 bucks an hour if you have jillions, its a tax deduction. Then there are the small business for self’s who don’t have minimum wages to exploit. ‘I haven’t had a job on tv in 13 years’ types say.
If the pony tail of ignorance really cared about the inner city poor he would stand up for their kid futures and job opportunities and cut the pandering and virtue signaling.

Walt writes “Is Paul still kicking? The medical team was sent to the Nevada Theater a couple of hours ago. CPR “was” in progress.”
You are sad sad sad Walt. I don’t want to have anything to do with you. You make me sick to my stomach. Please don’t respond to anything I write on this blog

Walt, Punchy the Liar asked you to never respond to anything he writes on this blog. For Pete’s Sake, do what he asks, He wants nothing to do with you and asks that you do not ever respond to him. A simple reasonable request.
Of course, Punchy is a liar. He says he does not want anything to do with you, yet constantly badgers you.
He wants nothing to do with you? Punchy lies again, per his MO.
