    Israel Under Attack

    Netanyahu slaps down CBS terrorist sympathizer John Dickerson. From the article: "Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu — “We, unlike Hamas, take special precaution to tell people to leave the premise, and we make sure everyone is gone before we take down those buildings. What would you do if it happened to Washington and to New York? You know damn well what you’d do. You do, at the very least, what we’re doing.” “One of the AP journalists said we were lucky to get out. No, you weren’t lucky to get out. It wasn’t luck. It’s because we took special pains to call people in those buildings, to make sure that the premises were vacated”" Netanyahu showing the difference between good and evil. Even the evil press still doesn't get it! EVEN when THEIR lives were saved!! [Hidden Content]

  2. Who needs Russian collusion when you have Dominion? One is an impeachable offense while the other is protected by government entities.

  5. Yes, the guy had a great future. Best as I can tell, getting a shot is, for most, like hitting the Lotto. There’s quite a few folks that can sing, but not that many get a big time chance. I worked with a guy who’s daughter could sing (sound) just like Patsy Cline. Had demo tapes made & played bars in Texas & Oklahoma. Never made the big time. I went to school with Tracy Byrd’s mom, and my son graduated with Clay Walker. Those two young men did good.

    White Privilege ?

    C'mon... The Cosby Show, the show that had Erkel, 227, Jackee', the Fresh Prince, Good Times, The Jeffersons, have all been around for decades. I don't watch TV anymore, but I have caught an episode or two of Blackish and Empire. White History isn't "celebrated" every month... in fact, it's not celebrated at all. Your kid wasn't paying attention if that's all he learned about. All I have is my high school diploma and a junky ol' business degree from Lamar and I can tell you all about Frederick Douglass, the Tuskegee Airmen, Harriet Tubman, Booker T Washington, Plessy vs. Ferguson, Brown vs the Board of Education of Topeka, Martin Luther King, Jr, Thurgood Marshall, Jesse Jackson, Rosa Parks, etc, etc, etc.... stop pretending that black History has been somehow ignored. My problem is this... If you want to have a Congressional Black Caucus, go right ahead. But you can't be upset if somebody wants to have a group of White congressman. That's just an example, but it's representative of the problem as a whole. If somebody wants to form a black student union, it's all fine and dandy... but the instant that someone proposes a group to support white people, they're immediately branded as supremacists, white nationalists, racists, etc..... the double standard is appalling. The idea that it's okay to celebrate your heritage only if you're black is preposterous and will ultimately lead to worse relations between the races. I firmly believe that the constant demonization of the white segment of our society by the left is going to lead to results that none of us want. Serious question, though... how did your kid get into Baylor? I'd have liked to send mine, but it wasn't in the cards. You either a) have a lot more money than I do or b) have athletic gifts that enabled him to get an athletic scholarship or c) he's a preacher's kid or perhaps even got admission to fill some sort of quota based on his skin color. Either way, your kid got an opportunity that mine didn't. That's just how it goes, though.... I'm glad that your kid got that chance and I hope he's taken full advantage of it. Don't you think it's ironic that a kid who has had "privileges" that my kids didn't is still lying about how "he only learned about 3 black people in those traditional classes" as if he's somehow been oppressed?
