    I have had an epiphany

    After much thought and contemplation, reviewing the news closely, and seeing the violence in the streets around our country, I reluctantly have to agree with Joe Biden that white supremacy is the biggest threat to democracy.........

    The media isn't making a big deal about crime rates being down. It doesn't sell papers.

    The U.S. crime rate is still dropping, FBI data shows: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-c...fbi-rcna144100

    A good find, Dave - which I obviously missed.

    "But all three drafts describe the threat from white supremacists as the deadliest domestic terror threat facing the U.S., listed above the immediate danger from foreign terrorist groups."

    I just have to laugh my ass off at that. Are you guys blind. Namely only one recent alleged white supremacist disruptive rioting action has occurred in Charlottesville where some redneck ran his car into some people and is rightfully in prison. Otherwise explain to me about antifa burning our cities where they are located, explain to me about the destruction and civil disobedience beyond The bounds of the law. And back to Charlottesville what he did was wrong I hope he rots in prison.
    Do you remember the African American man that ran through the Christmas parade and slaughtered people. You guys need to check your history. I don't expect you will.

    I get it. Do not respond to a sarcastic post from a friend. You will be mocked and belittled.

    Lesson learned.

    I'm not laughing---to dismiss the event of Jan 6 as not being hate filled white supremist is simply bizarre.

    Just look at the "head liners"---the proud boys and oath keepers----they are hard core white supremist.

    Not to mention the poster boy of white supremacy---steve bannon (now there is a pretty white boy face for you!)

    Add to that david duke of the KKK who is never far from this crowd---and then toss in MTG just for giggles.

    You might want to rethink your statement about who is blind

    Wow supporting Trump equals white supremacy. David it seems that you are labeling 50 to 51% of the United States population as white supremacist. Sad.

    I’m calling Bullroar. The real threat is the combined efforts of China and Russia to undermine our society from top to bottom. Then add another “Dr. Spock” generation where nobody is held accountable for their actions. Also, look no further to the totally unprepared and uneducated youths coming out of the Public School system. Scary!

    Finally, as with the Saint Floyd riots beginning in May 2020 (presidential election year) look at the riots starting May 2024 (presidential election year which is just a coincidence I’m sure) the mostly Leftist have learned that they can riot without much consequence to achieve their Leftist aka Socialist goals.

    Look who’s in our cities rioting, causing destruction, burning, killing Police Officers and other Law Enforcement all the while shouting Death to America! *hint..it isn’t White Supremists*

    White Supremacy the real to Democracy? Laughable *ignoring we don’t live in a Democracy.

    Btw…When is White History Month?
