Bold prediction.

Hey, bold or not, it worked.

Pretty sad smearing kids has led to this.  I hope everyone is held accountable, but they won't be.  Someone eventually is going to get killed from something like this and everyone is going to be like "omg, how did we let it get this far?!?"

When do the ‘adults’ in the media realize that the truth generally wins out?  Or have they lost all principle and hurriedly promote their narrative and hope the truth is trailing by 24 hours or more?

I was thinking about this Indian dude situation a little more..... there are political agitators all over DC every day.  These people do this stuff all day all over that town and you never hear about it.  The black guys that spent over an hour calling these HS kids all kinds of things didnt get blown up into a story.  Some of the video footage of this is raw.

It was a story because of the hat.  that is all.  Its not about an indian guy and a bunch of white kids.  Its about a hat.  that is all

Thought this too. Weird how the adults acting the worst are glossed over in all of this.

What a dumb story regardless. Shocking people are still talking about it and arguing both sides. Some people still taking words at face value vs. actually watching videos. 

My conspiracy theory in all of this is that it is postmodern creep. It's what spawned off SocJus fanaticism with a sprinkle of nihilism, a dash of social media vanity and a pinch of nothing-else-to-do.

I'm one of those people who didn't know who the Black Hebrew Israelites were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hebrew_Israelites

These people are a piece of work; right up there with the WBC only not as well known. And hardly a word said about them by anybody. I guess the leftists are more angry about the double sin of wearing a MAGA hat while being white than they are about the BHI. 

I watched the DC video in parts because I can't sit down and watch something that long without being bored or having to do other stuff. If anybody wants to point fingers, they should be heavily scrutinizing these people. But too many people won't say a word about them because they're afraid of being called bigots.

My husband set his alarm for 5:45 am, woke up before that, didn't turn it off, and then left. So I got to wake up 90 minutes earlier than necessary.

I've done this before and had it done to me too. Doesn't make for a pleasant morning for either xD

"US top court allows Trump transgender ban"

The fact that it's been three fucking days and the City of Akron still hasn't plowed my street.

I called to ask about it, and the woman on the phone said she can't give me an ETA, because they don't have access to the drivers.  She just inputs requests to them.  Data entry.

So basically, she's doing what a web form could do.

My understanding is that they're plowing in order of trash pick-up, which is really great for me since ours is on Friday. 😑

Mine was yesterday, except for the holiday, so mine was today.

And yet ... here we are.

Yeah, it's funny how fast they got to a street that is literally a block over on Sunday, but oh, they just can't be bothered now.

Have you been standing on your porch wearing a MAGA hat?

By the way it is a 3-for-1 bonanza for the left-wing, secular media:  they get to bash whites, MAGA hat wearers (racists), and Catholics.  A lot of shivers down the legs.
