WOW WALMART!!!!!


I don't why I watched the whole clip but it still amazes me how so wrong the media gets things. I know Texas, I have been here my whole life. The ONLY reason for the Guard is for Looters, PERIOD, there is no truth into any thing they stated. We do not allow these THEIVIES to loot our businesses down here, like in DemoCrack states. If the Militias show up it is only to help the guard, again PERIOD.

Wow, sure looks like it was deliberate.
I agree with Tucker this is NOT about Hunter, BUT this is about his Dad (Crooked Joe) who setup up these foreign deals for his son (and himself) while he was Vice President. Hunter in No Way or Fashion setup Any of these deals or employment by himself.
They were ALL done by Joe...Quid Pro Quo...PERIOD. Why would Anyone hire Hunter with ZERO experience???

Know what scares me? This scares me...because i hear it from young people at work quite often. Oh, they (for the most part) will not say they are socialists, but everything they say, they want, they think is exactly that, if not worse.

Millennials, Gen Z increasingly comfortable with socialism, Marxism, activists say

It comes back to the victim mentality they’re taught in school (and lack of parenting)

Everyone should be “equal” , and because at 22 I went $75K in debt with student loans to get a degree in basket weaving, or “social justice” and I don’t have what that 50 year old engineer or executive has, there must be something wrong with the system and the government needs to fix it by making everyone “equal”

Given that Civics, as a course, has been eliminated and History courses have been re-written to follow a specific, diametrically opposed, philosophy it's now wonder Gen Z hasn't got a clue.
And you are corrrect. I am extremely active in my daughters education (3rd and 7th grade). ESPECIALLY history. So far, it hasn't been bad at all. Just one episode about 'why' the civil war was fought, and that wasn't even the teachers fault, she was just doing what they were being told do. But we consistently have talks about history, our founding fathers, our constitution, our government, and the conflicts we have been involved in. They are smart girls....and I am trying to keep their minds very open. But there is a line....and I will never cross it. I hope they will not either.

History has become my go to lately, I really love early American History now thanks to David Barton. You ought to see his collection...Amazing...He almost has enough for a small Museum. This was from 2017

Yes the teaching of history is very important and can be used in nefarious ways if we do not keep watch on it.

Back in the late 1990's we had a foreign exchange student from Germany come live with us. She was 16 at the start of the school year. She grew up in the far Eastern side of Germany, just across the Polish boarder. So this was at one time communist East Germany.

Now she was a smart girl. She could speak English, French, Russian, and of course German. Each was so fluent, that the high school she was in here asked her to help judge several language competitions. But when it came to history, she was not doing well. Her teacher gave us a call and we learned that what she believed was quite different than what was boing taught here.

She knew nothing of Nazis, concentration camps, or much of anything about WW2. Long story short, she did not want to believe anything that was being taught about that in our school. But she gradually became curious and picked a topic for a semester report that caused her to go to the Museum in downtown Houston, by herself, and view the Holocaust displays. She said it made her cry and she just could not understand how none of that was even mentioned in her school's history class.
