Wishing, hoping, praying that even half of the young people who are participating in the protests will take their anger to the place that matters — the POLLS in November.
President Trump is so over the COVID-19 that he is ready to start having his rallies again. Except that he is making all of his followers sign a release saying that he is not responsible if they get COVID-19 at his rally. So, it’s really imperative for him to have his rallies, but he really, really does not want to be responsible for his fans once they get sick. And they will.
We have a president that just admitting to ordering chemical weapons to be used on peaceful protesters.
The largest anti-fascist organization in history was the U.S. military in World War II. It destroyed the Nazis and other fascist governments that were terrorizing the world. America is a free country today because fascism lost the war. We must never forget.

The NASCAR driver resigning over the organization’s decision to ban the Confederate flag is that upset over not being able to display the flag of traitors who began a devastating war against the United States that killed tens of thousands. But this patriot doesn’t believe in “kneeling” during the national anthem because it would be disrespectful to the flag.
