In 1968, the DNC was held in Chicago. The incumbent President had announced he was not running, and the VP was the presumptive nominee. Unrest over war and expansion of Rights caused everything to boil over into rioting.
Get ready for part deux.
This is the most damning video released thus far for the Secret Service. How does this happen?
President Trump is thankfully fine, but this is nowhere near over...
Praying for the young girl brutally victimized in St. Louis, and for the swift justice, needed to be brought on her behalf.
Hazelwood School leaders say we all must take responsibility for such violence, but the fault here (as always) falls solely on the attacker.
Privileged to defend the 10th Amendment, and lay out the anti-commandeering doctrine for a new plank in the Republican platform today. SCOTUS affirmed this limitation of nat'l gov via NY v US (1992), and MO must stand in the gap for her Citizens!
#GreeneCountyCaucus2024
The caucus for the presidential nomination in Greene County went as smoothly as it possibly could today. There were divisions of opinion, but everyone that I saw was polite in their disagreement.
President Trump won the delegates to the 7th District by a tremendous majority.
Ummm...Governor Moore, our beloved Chiefs are in the Great State of Missouri, sir. I sincerely hope your Ravens are evey bit as strong as your geography skills!
Thrilled to welcome @GovLauraKelly's @Chiefs to Baltimore this weekend. Although, Governor, I really think my @Ravens are going to take this one–want to make a bet?
I’ll put up some crab pies from @crustbymack, whatcha got?
Tis Hogmanay!
A guid New Year tae ane an' aw,
An' mony may ye see!
An' durin aw the years tae come,
O happy may ye be!
An' may ye ne'er hae cause tae mourn,
Tae sigh or shed a tear!
Tae ane an' aw, baith great an' sma,
A hearty, Guid New Year!
To the degree that Gaza is an "Open Air Prison," as has been oft repeated, that is true only because the surrounding Arab States refuse entry to the Palestinians. Aside from wondering why that is, is it not then the case that the Arab States are equally to "blame" for this?
When a sovereign State is assaulted by terrorism, as Israel has been, attempts to justify the atrocities are abhorrent. Isreal has every right to destroy the threat Hamas poses permanently, and should. Calling for peace is just, but there is no peace while Hamas remains viable.
Some context...
Congress has failed to create and pass a budget according to its own rules for each of the last 46 years. Not unrelatedly, there have been 21 governmental shutdowns due to lack of approved funding in that same time frame.
Same story, different actors.
It would be cool, if we could have an actual debate, with rules, substance, and decorum.
Not whatever this trashy thing is tonight...
Too many willingly sit and stare at the wall of Plato's Cave, even without their chains in place, because the shadows (which they know are false) are more familiar, and the actual sunshine hurts their dimly adjusted eyes.
Not much has changed for us in some 2400 years, I guess.
I'm seeing a lot of "inflation is down" statements lately. However, that's not true.
The RATE of inflation is down from its recent high, but inflation is cumulative in affect. Year over year, that 9% hasn't disappeared, it has been increased by an ADDITIONAL 4% over the high.
If this song offends you, let me encourage you to never listen to Hank Williams Jr.'s "A County Boy Can Survive."
It was released the last time our nation saw such internal discontent, but common sense had not yet been lost as it has for many today.
When u grow up in a small town, it’s that unspoken rule of “we all have each other’s backs and we look out for each other.” It feels like somewhere along the way, that sense of community and respect has gotten lost. Deep down we are all ready to get back to that. I hope my new music video helps y’all know that u are not alone in feeling that way. Go check it out! jasonaldean.lnk.to/TTIASTMus…
There's a lot of debate recently about what what it is to be a "man." I certainly can't speak for all men, but from my perspective, if your attitude in the important questions of life is always "What's in it for me?"...
You've still got some growing up to do.
The fundamental misapprehention seen here is discouraging, to say the least. The French Revolution was an expression of the General Will exploding into democratic terror, whereas the American Revolution was the search for a Republican Liberty founded in Constitutional Right.
H.G. Wells saw the symbiotic, and horrific, relationship between the Eloi and Morlocks in a fantasy set 800k years from now. The Morlocks provided for all needs of the gullible Eloi, and used them for food in return. Both descended from common stock, but diverged due to self...1/
