Hawaii residents still think that they are entitled to payment from the mainland. There are a large number of ‘native’ people who believe that Hawaii was some sort of peaceful paradise until Europeans arrived, and they think secession will return them to the ‘good old days.’ Of course that is false, and is simply another variation on the myth of the “noble savage.”
In reality, most Hawaiians are rather racially biased against white people, who they refer to as Haole (pronounced “howly”) and blame them for all of Hawaii’s perceived problems. They demand that whites pay them, because reasons, thinking that white people giving them money will solve their problems.
Seattle just agreed to pay $10 million to 50 rioters injured by police in 2020.
Denver is paying $4.7 million to 300 BLM rioters arrested in 2020.
Philadelphia is paying them $9 million.
New York City is shelling out $13 million.
In total, $890+ million in taxpayer dollars is going to pay out BLM protestors in 20 US cities.
Democrats are bankrolling rioters with our tax dollars so they can continue to riot. That’s why we continue to see the same people all over the country rioting for the latest causes. They’re employees — not activists. It’s an industry and we’re all paying for it.
This funding will be used to cause even more mayhem in the coming election year.
The complete loss of not only common sense (they admit to eating meat while claiming that the killing of animals is wrong) and the complete loss of civility (an adult allowing his preteen son to call an adult an asshole and tell him to fuck off) is just a bridge too far.
The American people and its society have completely broken down.
My wife and I recently had lunch with her best friend. We had a chat about the little Marxist that is her step-son. I’ve known the kid since he was an eight year old child. He was awkward when I met him, but he is intolerable now. He is a 17 year old leftist that spends his spare time protesting capitalism. Every time I am in his presence, I want to punch his face, so I simply avoid him.
About a year ago, he decided to be some sort of odd alternate gender. Although he is interested in girls, he couldn’t get laid at a goat farm because he is so opinionated and political all of the time. He has said that’s OK, because he isn’t interested in sex. That’s when he started wearing a skirt on the outside of his pants. He complained that he had no friends because everyone here is homophobic.
He announced that some girl he likes is going to college in Boston, so he wants to go there too, where they will be more tolerant of his deviant behavior. It isn’t the weird sexual deviancy thing going on that’s keeping him from having friends or getting dates. He is just an asshole with no social skills, and I doubt that he will have any better luck making friends there than he has here.
What we have here is an entire generation that has no social skills because their parents abdicated raising children, instead giving them cell phones and Internet access. They learned about life by reading the Internet.
I think that there should be a law restricting Internet capable devices with full Internet capability to children over the age of 15. For the ages of 10-14, they only have a watered down machine that only gets access to age appropriate PG content. Below that, they are restricted to G rated material only.
Sorry, but children are being groomed and set up to be complete failures in life. It’s time that we accept that children just aren’t intellectually and emotionally capable of handling adult topics.
The author of this piece is Dr. Tom Hastings, the conflict resolution coordinator at Portland State University. Portland. Enough said, but let’s look closer at his nonsense anyhow.
It is long past time to repeal the Second Amendment.
Why?
To strengthen democracy.
I don’t want democracy. With democracy, 50.1 percent of the voters would be able to legalize slavery. The voters could easily vote to euthanize everyone over the age of 65, or even confiscate the property of everyone who has a net worth of more than $500,000 so that it can be redistributed. The beauty of our system of government is that, while they are democratically elected, our representatives can’t violate the rights of the individual.
Already in 2022, as of Sept. 25, there have been 32,643 gun deaths in America from a variety of causes, including murder, homicide, accidents and suicides. Many of these deaths were in places that attempted strict gun control, including a ban on assault rifles, but were successfully sued by the NRA or other gun rights groups and their local or state laws vacated by rulings prompted by the Second Amendment.
Let’s start with the “gun deaths” metric. First, a “gun death” is a stupid metric. An early death is no more tragic if carried out by cancer, diabetes, being tossed out of a helicopter, or simply beaten over the head with a hammer.
Second, more than 26,000 of those “gun deaths” were actually suicides. A person intent on killing themselves could, if guns were outlawed, simply step in front of a train, leap from the window of a tall building, or overdose on sleeping pills. Getting rid of the Second Amendment would not save the lives of anyone intent on suicide. The fault in logic here is stunning- the left contends that people who wish to take their own lives would not do so if there were no guns in the home. Ridiculous and easily demonstrated as a false premise. In the United States, over 48,000 people take their own lives each year, and there is no reason to believe that things would improve with the outlawing of guns. Take Guyana as an example, where the government has passed every single dream of gun control proposed by the left.
In Guyana, Category B firearms are only available to sport shooters who hold a license to practice for at least 6 months, with a medical certificate, without a criminal conviction, and additionally require at least three shooting sessions with an instructor. Specific purchase and possession permits can then be applied for from a local police department, are valid for 5 years and can be extended. These weapons can then only be used for sport shooting in shooting ranges, never for hunting. Category B includes all assault rifles such as AK-47/AKM, AK-74 or AR-15/M16/M4, as well as all similar weapons, even if they are chambered for rimfire (.22 LR) cartridges. These can only be semi-automatic. All handguns, including those using rim ammunition, are classified as Category B. It is illegal to possess these Category B weapons after the expiry of a specific non-renewed license: the weapons must be disposed of (e.g., sold to a firearms store or otherwise destroyed).
Meanwhile, Guyana has the highest suicide rate of any nation in the world: 40.8 suicides per 100,000. That number represents a suicide rate three times that of the United States. So gun laws have no effect on suicide rates, which are more of a mental health issue than they are a firearms issue. In Guyana, the suicide problem is related closely to alcoholism, not guns.
Civilized countries enact laws that actually protect their children. Unlike every single other developed or large country in the entire world, the number one cause of death for children in the US is firearms.
Wrong. Homicides don’t even come close to being the number one cause of death, even including homicides by all mechanisms. Unless you consider 15-24 year olds as being children.
The simple fact is that more than half of the homicides in this country are actually due to street gang activity where one gangs are resorting to violence in order to protect their drug dealing turf. I don’t need to go any further- this guy’s post is filled with enough factual deficiencies that we already know he is lying to support his agenda.
To prevent Civil War 2.0.
With approximately 400 million guns floating around US society and an armed MAGA-driven polarization met by an increasingly armed leftist radical wing, along with evermore virulent rhetoric and escalating numbers walking around open-carrying war weaponry in public, half of America believes that civil war is coming. Tossing out the Second Amendment would free legislatures and city councils to begin seriously ending such belligerent displays of combat weapons.
During Vietnam, the left thought they were clever by asking “What if they threw a war and no one showed up?” The more important question is “What if they threw a war and only one side showed up?” The answer to that is, of course, genocide. Disarming one side allows the other side, still armed, to do with the unarmed as they please.
It’s as if he thinks that getting rid of the Second Amendment would cause the 600 million plus guns already in US hands to simply disappear. Instead, the repeal of 2A would cause many of those 600 million guns to be used against the very people who would be attempting to confiscate them, guaranteeing the onset of an American civil war.
This guy, who is supposed to be interested in conflict resolution, is advocating for the one thing that is guaranteed to cause more conflict than any other single thing that the government could do. Clueless, but the left’s ideas usually are.
Liberals moving to Canada to live the perceived liberal Utopia there are discovering that their ideas don’t work. They are finding that “free” health care is a great benefit when you are healthy, but if you are sick waiting lists are quite long.
Niren, who has lived in both the US and Canada, voiced similar concerns. He said his own mother, who needs a hip replacement, had been on a waitlist for 18 months. “There are people who have to fly to other countries — including the United States — to get cancer treatment because it takes too long,” he said. “In the US, you can get a specialist appointment in two days.”
Niren also said Canadians paid elevated taxes to support such a comprehensive healthcare system.
“People call it free healthcare — it’s not free,” he said. “It’s very expensive because you’re paying through the taxes.”
Wait, you are telling me that the Doctors and Nurses in Canada don’t work for free? WTH?
He added that there was still an opioid crisis in British Columbia, but it wasn’t as striking as it is in Portland. Ouellet said that in the three years he’d lived in British Columbia, he’d seen one syringe on the ground, compared with Portland, where he saw dozens a day.
That’s because you live in leftist shitholes. I have NEVER seen a syringe on the ground. That’s what you get for living in Portland.
“When you’re out in public, and you hear a noise, no one runs, no one checks over their shoulder, no one thinks that it could possibly be gun violence.”
The reality is that, outside of a few leftist shithole cities, so called “gun violence” is as rare in the US as it is in Canada. The simple fact is that Canada has a population density that is much lower than in the US, and when you compare cities of equal density, you get similar crime rates. Couple that with the fact that blacks (the demographic most likely to participate in violent crime) only make up 4.9% of Canada’s population, and the result is low crime.
All branches of the US military have been reporting that they are falling short in their recruiting goals, and they have been trying some pretty spectacular stunts to get more recruits. It seems that the Military’s recruiting woes are due to whites not enlisting.
A total of 44,042 new Army recruits were white in 2018, but in 2023 that had fallen to 25,070. That represents a drop of over 19,000 recruits per year. With the Army having a shortfall of more than 10,000 enlistees in its recruiting target, it’s plain to see that it is a lack of white candidates that is the reason.
It seems that whites, and specifically white males, are tired of being told that they are the enemy, that they are racist, and they have decided that they don’t want to sacrifice their lives to defend people and a nation that despises them.
