Niagara Bill Posted August 20, 2021 Posted August 20, 2021 During the past 4 years I cringed daily over trump, his total off the wall reactions, his constant humiliation of people, childish insults, unpredictability in negotiations, the love of Kim, the hatred of 1/2 his own citizens, his manipulation of the justice departments, covid handling, his support of people like Proud Boys, his encouragement for people to be violent (Michigan), and finally his made up election fraud and disrespect for a voting result In a country who is the standard bearer. He made the US less respected. He disrespected his allies and loved his traditional enemies. Now you have Joe. I listened to all the chatter during the campaign about his age, mental and physical limitation. I listened to the chatter about the VP, and how she was incapable. I am watching performance or lack the of. Well I am hear to say, I could never support trump as a person or candidate. I was wrong on Joe and Kamala. They are not capable. In the end....citizens of the US had no one to vote for. Don't feel too bad, we are having elections in Canada in Sept. We may be jn the same situations. 1
B-Man Posted August 25, 2021 Posted August 25, 2021 "Sirhan Sirhan, convicted of Robert F. Kennedy assassination, seeks parole with no opposition from prosecutors/Attorneys say that 53 years behind bars is sufficient punishment for the 77-year-old; Kennedy family declines to weigh in." The Washington Post reports. https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/08/25/sirhan-parole-hearing/ Newly elected Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón told The Washington Post shortly before his inauguration in December that he was creating a sentencing review unit to revisit the cases of about 20,000 prisoners for possible resentencing, analyzing both the fairness of long sentences and the cost savings for releasing low-risk or older inmates.... In Sirhan’s case, Gascón’s office is remaining neutral....Kennedy is survived by his wife, Ethel Kennedy, and nine children, many of whom declined to comment.... Ethel Kennedy is still alive. She's 93 and has never remarried. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for some reason has come to believe that Sirhan was not the killer, and he's met with Sirhan and told him so. Under California law in effect in 1968, a life sentence with parole would have made Sirhan eligible for release after seven years. He has had no disciplinary violations since 1972, and although he claims not to remember the act of shooting Kennedy, he has expressed remorse in parole hearings since the 1980s....

Orlando Buffalo Posted September 6, 2021 Posted September 6, 2021 https://www.yahoo.com/news/zealand-supermarket-chain-removed-knives-045833774.html This is a rational response to a bad man doing bad things, take away good people's rights when literally 99.9999% of knives are used properly. It makes as much sense as removing cars because of drunk drivers.
B-Man Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 What high-school history books teach about 9/11 Author gives description of the 911 account from the 5 most used school books, see at link FTA: These five books are on the whole disappointing in their treatments of one of the defining moments in post-World War Two American and world history. They are factually accurate but estranged from the meaning of what happened — the meaning for the terrorists but even more so the meaning for Americans. With the exception of Warner, these history textbooks minimize the events of that day, not by understating the body count, but by portraying the attacks as just something that happened. To the extent those events have importance in the eyes of these instructors, it arose from the ‘War on Terror’ that followed. Do these books represent the best we can do in teaching children born after 9/11 what that catastrophe meant and still means to Americans? Or do they represent an antiseptic effort to push 9/11 into a past, quarantined from our present discontents? Today our schools and all too many of our teachers are head-over-heels in the effort to teach 1619, anti-racism and America as wall-to-wall oppression. Their ideology is a distant cousin, but a cousin nonetheless, of those who 20 years ago sought to destroy the symbols of American pride. Without exactly denying what happened on 9/11, many teachers using these textbooks and others like them seem to be on track to turning that history into dust. https://spectatorworld.com/topic/high-school-history-books-teach-about-9-11/
