    First paragraph of your article:

    "The Left is rampaging across our nation."​

    upload_2021-6-2_16-2-22.gif


    "Portland, Oregon, is burning, and many other cities face continuous looting, rioting and destruction. Literal miles of Minneapolis, Minnesota, have been destroyed. "​

    Portland is "burning?" No, and handwringing mayor Wheeler is now using police to crack down. Some of the activists are upset. So sad, too bad.

    Minneapolis? Most of the damage is along one main route.

    "Democrat-run cities are hemorrhaging people – fleeing for the relative sanity of red states."​

    Better to live in Oregon than Florida. Florida had 5,937 covid cases yesterday, Oregon had 140.

    "And while the Antifa/Black Lives Matter mob is wreaking havoc, destroying businesses and neighborhoods, leaders in those communities have taken an inexplicable hands-off attitude, even to the point of restraining a police response."​

    Portland mayor Wheeler is cracking down.

    "Following the accidental police shooting of Daunte White in a Minneapolis neighborhood and generalized unrest over the Derek Chauvin trial, Minneapolis police and National Guard troops were targeted in a drive-by shooting."​

    One incident. Hardly worthy of a generalization.

    That's it? Your opening paragraph isn't much, certainly not enough to bring back the Orange Oaf.

    I wonder if you realize your article was propaganda.

    Uh huh.

    I took care of horses from 10-13, baseball fields 14-15, box boy then grocery clerk at 16, graduated from high school at 16 and then paid my way through university by holding various jobs, and never inherited a dime from my parents. I damn near dropped from "privilege."

    How about you? Did you benefit from the Bank of Mom and Dad?

    With the crap you spit out about teachers, you're lucky if any good ones would even consider working in your schools.

    Yeah, sure--blacks are inherently lazy and that's why they're inordinately poor. :roll: :roll:

    Geez, you remind me of the dentist from Little Rock, AK who moved across the street from us in LA when I was a kid. "Too many n-----s in Arkansas," he said. A few years later he moved to Redding, CA. Why? "Too many "n-----s" in LA."

    You're obviously quite blind to what black people face.

    Yeah, Chicago is a bad place. You should live in, say, Harrison, AK. Don't visit Chicago.

    I am not blaming 100 percent of the teachers man. Try not to be too confrontative. I will narrow it for you. Some teachers in some districts teach cockeyed democrat dogma to students.

    When I was a student, none of my teachers taught us to vote in any particular way. Things changed since I graduated in 1956.

    If it is, so is your reply to the article. Adding the blow torch to the article was pure propaganda on your part. And that smarmy meme on Trump makes you look pretty subject to propaganda.

    Who did the Dentist say that to? When were you a kid? I have been in Arkansas myself and my grandmother was a native there. She was no black face when she was still living. Fact is I don't recall seeing blacks in Arkansas nor in Missouri. Not that they are not there, but I saw none of them.

    Very few teachers push stuff like Critical Race Theory.
