Trump made national news because he retweeted a video where a man at a rally in The Villages was recorded yelling “White Power.” This is a case of a man’s words being taken out of context.

Watch the video below, and you will see that the man was being called a racist by a group of Democrats that were yelling at him, calling him a racist. He replies, “Yeah, you got me. I’m a racist. White Power! White Power!”

The left are masters at this. Anyone who watches this knows that the man was being sarcastic, but it is easier to ignore that and attempt to paint this man as a racist, so as to embarrass the President. They know that most people will not listen to the entire recording. They will just see the headline, and then use it to back up the notion that Trump is a racist.

There was a recent post about blacks being the victim of systemic racism. I posted the following, and as a result, my comment was deleted and I was banned from posting on the news site. I guess facts are racist:

The children of affluent people tend to be affluent. Why? Because people who are intelligent, skilled, and hard working tend to make more money. They then instill that in their children, who themselves value hard work and learning a skill, so they too become affluent.
Absentee and lazy parents never instill that in their children, so their children are trapped in the cycle of poverty. That is true, no matter what race or nationality.
The key to affluence is:
1 learn a skill. That doesn’t necessarily mean college. Welders, machinists, and pipe fitters do quite well.
2 Work hard at being the best you can be at whatever skill you decide to learn. That will pay off in the form of raises and promotions, or in a more successful business.
3 Don’t waste your money on useless things. Be smart. Most people don’t have an income problem, they have a spending problem.
I really believe that blacks struggle, not because of racism or a system of oppression, nor because any race is inherently inferior to another. The real thing hurting black Americans is the fact that black teenage girls are three times more likely to get pregnant than any other demographic. 64% of black children grow up in a father absent home, compared to 23% of all US children. When a child grows up in a single parent household, they are 7 times more likely to experience teen pregnancy themselves, twice as likely to drop out of high school, and 4 times as likely to be poor.
If we can only point fingers without even discussing the problem, then how can we begin to fix that problem?

Supposedly, I am a racist for saying teen pregnancy, absentee fathers, and a lack of education are in large part responsible for the economic woes of black Americans. I guess it’s easier to blame other people than it is to fix your own problems.

A number of municipalities and counties in Florida have issued executive orders that require citizens to wear masks because COVID. They appear to be unenforceable. Let me explain. First, there is the city of St Petersburg’s order, (pdf warning) which reads:

Effective Tuesday, June 23, 2020, at 5:00 PM, the following requirements regarding the use of face coverings in places of public assemblage will go into effect :

(a) “Face covering” means (i) a cloth face covering that covers the mouth and nose, as described by applicable guidance from the CDC, or (ii) any equivalent face covering . A face covering may be store-bought or homemade .
(b) Except as provided in section 5, any person who is 18 years of age or older shall wear a face covering while in a place of public assemblage. That face covering must (i) be worn in a manner that covers the face and nose; (ii) remain affixed in place without the use of  the person’s hands; and (iii) otherwise comply with CDC guidance for wearing such a face covering.
(c) If a person is under the age of 18, that person’s use of a face covering is left to the discretion of that person’s parent, guardian, or accompanying adult. Applicable guidance from CDC states that a face covering is not appropriate for babies or children under the age of 2.
(d) This section does not require or allow a person to wear a face covering in a manner that violates Florida Statutes chapter 876. 

876.14 Wearing mask, hood, or other device on property of another.—No person or persons over 16 years of age shall, while wearing a mask, hood, or device whereby any portion of the face is so hidden, concealed, or covered as to conceal the identity of the wearer, demand entrance or admission or enter or come upon or into the premises, enclosure, or house of any other person in any municipality or county of this state.

Valkyrie Arms, manufacturer of firearms in Olympia, Washington, has shut down this morning, citing health reasons. Who is John Galt?

People want the cops to stop enforcing the law. So the cops stop. Now they complain that the cops aren’t enforcing the law. If the police are defunded, this is what you get. 

Through a post at WRSA, we hear that Antifa is using 2 meter Baofeng handheld radios to communicate. The almost certainly are not licensed to use those, even though they are required to have at least a technician license.

We already know that the coup plotters of 2017 used the same method of communication.

My request:
Can anyone provide pictures of Antifa members with handheld transcievers?

If anyone is in the vicinity of Antifa operations and has the technical capabilities, can we confirm their use of the 2 meter band, or even intercept some of their communications?

I was going through my bookshelves and saw that I have a hardcover copy of John Ross’ Unintended Consequences. It is a fifth printing, First Edition copy in hardback. The dust jacket is missing, but it is in otherwise great condition. The only real flaw is where the used bookstore I bought it from wrote the price of $26.00 on the inside of the front cover in pencil. I must have bought this book at least 10 years ago, although I don’t remember when.

I am not sure what it is worth, but the cheapest ones that Amazon has are over $200 each. I would like to read it again, but I don’t want to devalue it by damaging it. I had no idea they were so collectible.

So Maryland clams that a computer failure is preventing them from doing background checks, and have instructed all firearms dealers to stop selling firearms until they fix the problem. I’m sure that this is only temporary and totally not an excuse to ban guns.
