Seeing how that is not the Democrats’ “actual policy platform”, there is nothing to explain. (Hint: When you repeatedly use all caps and bold to say something over and over in your posts — it’s bullshat!)

It was the DEMOCRATS who would not provide the USCP cops the proper backup..

Seeing how Pelosi only serves on the executive board for the USCP and has no actual say in the day to day operations, not sure why someone would be gullible enough to believe this. Also, the Senate Majority Leader has the same role and authority that the Speaker has… so why didn’t McConnell provide the “proper backup”?

And the real deal breaker for anyone who supports democracy should be your party’s abandonment of all of its political values and philosophies in favor of their complete devotion and worship of one person. Trump was so blown away with North Korea's leader that he had the GOP’s platform changed to be like theirs… complete fealty to “Exalted Grand Leader!” I guess Republicans will soon start demanding schools teach the story of Trump’s immaculate birth… borne of a solid gold magical unicorn that can fly.

Well, I hope that goes well.

He knows I wish him all the very best ...

Michale mentioned something about an operation "next month" when he first returned...

Sometimes the columns just write themselves, eh? Well, the headline, anyways.

Looking forward to it!!!

Let's try that one again, for clarification. Ahem.

Well, this is it.. If this is to be my final post..It's been fun.. :D

Well, look on the bright side, my friend (that's my new motto for 2022, you know) ...

...you know damn well that you won't be forgotten. If you know what I mean and I'm pretty sure you do. I won't mention any names, we all know who they are. Heh.

Of course, if you need clarification, you know where to find me!

Well, this is it.. If this is to be my final post..It's been fun.. :D

Of course, if you need clarification, you know where to find me!

I would be ever so grateful if you could clarify it for me.. :D

Sadly, I really believe you do need clarification.

But, I would enjoy your musical selections, anyways, so ...

Why would this be your final post?

Did I, ah, miss something? :D

Well, if it is, there is always the CW Sunday Night Music Festival and Dance Party. The fun will start up again after the Pro Bowl.

So, be here for that... or, ya know, be square!

I really think you'd be surprised by how much many of us actually agree with the core theme of your comments.

I can remember when the ONLY thing I disagreed with was the name of your cause. Remember? I didn't like 'Voucher Vendetta' at all, thought it didn't have much meaning - for me, at least. 'One Demand' is even too wide open to interpretation, funnily enough.

Now, don't get me wrong ... the name is only an extraneous issue which can easily be overcome. The real problem that I see with your efforts here, as always, has everything to do strategy and method.

It's been fun.. :D

Michale

This raises a good point.. Long after the US began on the road to equality for the races, slavery was still alive and well all over the world..

It's funny how the Left Wing totally ignores this fact..

Even today, there are slavery-esque aspects in China.. Yet many on the Left cozy up to China for financial and economic gain..

Where is the condemnation from the Left over this??

Which simply points to one inescapable conclusion..

It's ALL about Party ideology.. False claims of racism is simply a means to an end..

We'll call it the Jussie Smollet effect...

yup... aye-yup.. yup...

A frequent go-to for the racist Left is to claim that the Right doesn't want to teach US history..

This is not factually accurate..

EVERYONE wants to teach US history.. It SHOULD be taught..

But only the FACTS should be taught.. The facts, completely devoid of ANY ideological slant, let alone a ideological RACIST slant...

As I have stated before.. Schools should (age appropriately) teach children the WHO, the WHAT, the WHEN and the WHERE only...

Let the children make the determination of WHY on their own.. And let the children decide what the WHY means to them and their place in today's society..

THAT is education...

Democrats want to force a specific ideology down the children's throats.. A specific AND racist ideology..

THAT is indoctrination...

And THAT is why Education will always be a losing platform for the Democrat Party..

They have made their indoctrinating ideological racist bed and there is NO WAY they can remake the bed to be sleep-able for the American people...

What "diversity"??? In the age of PC, the only "diversity" at colleges and universities is the one that hardly counts (cosmetic)! There is zero diversity of thought or opinion on campuses today!

This is exactly why 1619 is garbage as an actual non-fictional history book..

It outright LIES about the history of the US with a HUGE racist ideological rant..

JL,

Since we're now firmly entrenched in Education, we can revisit our discussion on The 1619 Project...

The 1619 False-History Project

Imagine a Native American history curriculum that focused entirely on four massacres of Natives by whites — beginning with the first encounter between Spanish conquistadores and the Inca emperor Atahualpa and culminating with Wounded Knee — and never touched on American Indian life before 1491, the many Native military victories, or the roughly 5.2 million Natives alive in the U.S. today. Would anyone see this as truly representative, or useful to students of any race, or worth teaching in the schools?

Exactly this...

1619 is as much a factual representation of history as the bible... :eyeroll:

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

The Biden administration, however, told the Supreme Court in December it should not take up the Harvard case,

BBBWWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

And what was the SCOTUS' response?? :D

A BIG mighty FRAK YOU, accompanied by the bird and the SCOTUS takes the case.. :D

Way to go Joe Biden... Way to continue to show yer impotence...

It's no wonder Putin knows he can waltz into Ukraine..

China is going to invade Taiwan next...

Once again, the short-sightedness of the Democrat Party rears it's ugly head..

Reid's actions truly has created a transformational SCOTUS and put this country well along on the path to a truly equal society...

Both require racism to function...

This would be considered on topic..

Affirmative Action Could Soon Be Overturned As Supreme Court Takes Up Harvard And UNC Cases

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear cases challenging Harvard University and the University of North Carolina (UNC)’s affirmative action policies that take race into account for admissions, the court announced Monday, which could potentially overturn the decades-old practice of affirmative action and threaten gains in diversity at colleges and universities nationwide.

Like Roe V Wade, Affirmative Action is on the chopping block..

Both of their days are numbered..

A necessary step on the path to a truly equal merit based society..

Education is a losing platform for the Democrat Party...

The GOP has captured the moral, ethical and legal high ground... And it's unassailable..

For Democrats continuing to assault the hill will simply show the country how impotent they are..

So, by all means, Democrats..

Continue... :D

A side benefit to Michale

Awwwww you say the sweetest things, Bash... :D

Again CW, the party out of power ALWAYS wins VA and usually wins NJ.

Not factually accurate.. There are cite-able instances where the Party in power was Democrat and a Democrat won Virginia..

BIDEN is the first newly elected President since Saint Ronnie

That's Saint Reagan to you..

to only lose one of those two Governorships.

Again, not factually accurate..

Jeeeze, cad.. Do you ever do ANY research???

This is exactly why Democrats are losing so bad...

This is exactly why I simply cannot understand Russ' support for the Democrat Party..

For me, a cop who has actually been there and done that, that would be a deal breaker for me..

It SHOULD be a deal breaker for ANYONE who claims to support cops...

If it's NOT a deal breaker, then it's clear that people don't really actually support cops..

Yea, yea, yea... Ignorant yahoos will point to 6 Jan... An isolated incident where Democrats were able to find a few cops to be on their side.. There are ALWAYS those political based cops who will betray the uniform and put politics before their brother/sister cops..

But if one actually talked to the vast majority of USCP cops, they would learn that the vast majority of USCP cops blame the DEMOCRATS for 6 Jan..

It was the DEMOCRATS who would not provide the USCP cops the proper backup..

It was the DEMOCRATS who throw cops under the bus on a continuous basis...

6 Jan was one single isolated incident of which Democrats share more blame than the GOP..

DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE THE POLICE is a Democrat Party Platform..

Equating the two is a sign of a weak mind with no valid argument..

How do we know this?? Because these same people who make the comparison support TWENTY TWO YEARS of BLM and AntiFa riots where TENS OF THOUSANDS of cops were injured..

Where was ya'all's support for cops then??? Ya'all only support LEOs when it's politically advantageous to do so.. If it's not to ya'all's political advantage?? LEOs are thrown under the bus...

Anyone who supports the Democrat Party and claim they support cops is lying.. Pure and simple..

It's like claiming one supports god and Mark Pellegrino.. It's not possible..

You either support cops or you support the Democrat Party...

And everyone here obviously supports the Democrat Party..

Nope.. Couldn't bring myself to do it..

Funny how commenters seem to disagree with me when I am commenting but seem to agree with me when they think I might not be be commenting. :D

One of the quirks of Weigantia™ :D

Or, more likely, just one more indication of Democrat hypocrisy...

Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.

Maybe the start of a counter-message could be, "School is supposed to open a kid's eyes. The Republicans are trying to pass laws that will close a kid's eyes and keep them closed."

The problem with that counter-message is that, like ALL other Democrat messages....

It has no factual basis in reality..

The reality is, in education, the Republicans want to give to children the right to decide the WHY...

Democrats want to force the WHY on children.. And Democrats WHY is based solely on their racist ideology..

Let's face reality here, dood..

The Democrat Party was founded on racism... And the racism is well established in today's Democrat Party as well..

Naw, EM, it's premature to think that all is lost for the Dems/Murica. Here's why:

That's what I like about you cad... Your complete ability to ignore reality and live in that dream world of your own making.. :D

You and I are going to have a LOT of fun come 9 Nov 22... :D

"When this is over.. You and me are going to go round and round."

:D

I am starting to think that there are no good solutions for America and Americans.

Sure there is.. We saw ALL the good solutions during the President Trump years...

It's only when Democrats took over that all the bad solutions started..

I mean, just imagine how much GOOD President Trump could have accomplished and how AWESOME this country would be today if Democrats had not spent all those years bringing up BS after BS after BS and actually worked WITH President Trump for the good of the country..

We would be living in a utopian society today if Democrats were AMERICANS first and Democrats second..

If Democrats actually cared MORE for their country than they cared for their ideology...

Mmmmmm Paradise...

Well, for education there's a very rational solution, which of course has zero political force behind it. Have a science-based plan for schools to transition between remote and in person learning, so each principal has the flexibility to go back and forth, as needed.

The problem for Democrats is they have established that there is REAL science.. And then there is Democrat "science"..

So, in the minds of the Democrats they are using a 'science based' program..

It's just based on Democrat "science" and not real actual reality science...

It's as if Democrats watched trump deny the facts of the pandemic, then decided once they got in power to do the Exact. Same. Thing.

Lemme help ya out here.. :D

Hypocrisy.. It's not a bug in Democrat programming. It's a feature.

At least Democrats don't have a way to fight it that DOESN'T make the Democrats look like anti-America, anti-children racists...

I am unsure as to what your point is..

Shocking. Positively shocking.

I would be ever so grateful if you could clarify it for me.. :D

Looks like a commentary I might actually read..

But, to old business first.. :D

Michale
This is what I don't get about your support for the Democrat Party..

They hate cops... For me, that's a deal breaker.. I could not support a Party that hated on cops as a party platform..

Russ
Says the guy blaaa blaaaa blaaaa

So, you actually have NO EXPLAINATION for why you support a Party *WHOSE ACTUAL POLICY PLATFORM* is DEFUND, DEMONIZE, DEMORALIZE THE POLICE...

So, I guess we just chalk it up to rank hypocrisy.. A defining characteristic of a Democrat.. :eyeroll:

Michale
I dunno.. Maybe it's because I was actually a cop who patrolled the streets...

Russ
Yeah, in the same delusional world where Trump won the election!

Yes.. Trump won the election in 2016.. So, yes, I patrolled the streets as a cop..

BOTH facts are reality.. Thank you for acknowledging that reality...

My Public Safety (LEO/FSO/MILITARY/SECURITY) bona fides are well established over a decade ago by none other than the late CW himself...

The ONLY reason you call them into question is because you have absolutely NO FACTS to explain why you hypocritically support a Party that has a HATE COPS platform...

Yer flailing, Russ.. I get that.. 'S ok...

Indeed.

Indeed.

True.

I haven't stopped in my scroll down through the deluge to read his posts. Anyone else?

Having said that, the Repugs are once again demonstrating that APPEALING TO EMOTION is how to win elections. The Dems seemingly think that a faculty lounge discussion of how to fix poverty etc. just don't resonate with the voters. One would think that the Dems would have figured this out by now, and IMO their collective failure to do so is why I remain convinced that the Dem's seeming ineptitude is a calculated ploy to pretend they're not as equally aligned with Big Money as are the Repugs.

It's a pity that Don Harris isn't still alive.

I don't see a way out, given that context.
