This scares me. Many are talking about another Civil War in the USA and that scares me even more. I pray that through his speech tonight he doesn't empower those forces against out form of democracy. A Cheney was drove out of politics because she spoke the truth. Where are we headed.
In the meantime there is Civil War soldier buried on River Road next to the area that turns into Walmart. I noticed some people today cleaning the area up. Was alway over grown with weeds. I may stop and say a prayer. For our Country. I cannot fing the link to this but I remember reading it and I have seen the grave

I have seen the term semi-Fascism being used but it makes no sense to me. Nor does the term ultra-MAGA. I would also disagree if someone were to call President Biden a want to be Communist. I see a lot of non-civil disagreements, but it does not rise to level we saw during the beginning of the Civil Rights era or the protests against the Viet Nam war.
Those of us here can remember when President Kennedy was assassinated, and I was watching live TV when Sirhan Sirhan killed his brother. I worry that something like that is still possible. Trump still demonizes Biden. President Biden gave an election speech last night which was billed as the "Battle for the Soul of the Nation." I really do miss the time when I thought someone like Mitt Romney could be elected President.

"Battle for the Soul of the Nation." That was the name of his speech I watched on MSNBC then switched to WKTV and it was not on there. I would like to see Mitt as Pres,

I am not a big fan of Mitt. In my opinion it may well be time for a third party candidate that is not so darned polarized or caught up in a partisan peeing contest that is focused on damaging and demeaning the other party. Both of which seem to have little regard for the well being or needs or desires of the average middle of the road and middle-income American voter. I think the two major parties have gone too far left and too far right for the divide to ever be mended and for anything productive to be accomplished.

His speech last night was just odd. I was shocked at the background lighting and image plus kissing his wife and walking out together was over the top for me.

Evening new tonight classified Biden as a neo socialist with a woke agenda. LOL what does that even mean. Everyone is going nuts. Sounds like Fox News. They hate Biden because he had the nerve to beat Trump. Nothing new here. They hated Obama for beating McCain & Romney, & Clinton for beating Bush sr. & Bob Dole. Who cares. There isn't going to be a Civil War. That lunatic Trump may have a lot of supporters but when push comes to shove I don't believe for one minute that his people are going to pick up arms against this Country just because he's in deep legal trouble which he himself caused. After all, Trump is nothing but a gangster who got himself elected POTUS. Would you fight in a Civil War to defend THAT? And he'll end up in prison anyway by the time DOJ is done with him. Trump did it to himself because he's a criminal who thinks he's above the law. He's got a lot of self serving hacks like Stefanik who are attacking law enforcement in servitude to Trump but that's her problem for being on the wrong side of what's moral & right. |

Biden speech denouncing Trump, 'MAGA ideology' sparks threats, calls for violence
President Biden’s fiery speech in Philadelphia denouncing former President Donald Trump and what he described as “extreme MAGA ideology” has sparked online calls for violence, including death threats against the president, according to documents obtained by Yahoo News. Biden’s remarks also prompted immediate concerns from senior counterterrorism officials who said they fear that calling Trump supporters extremists would be viewed as a call to arms and would only inflame an already volatile threat environment. “Too much of what’s happening in our country today is not normal,” Biden said Thursday night at Independence Hall, flanked by two U.S. Marines. “Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.” By Friday afternoon, posts on forums popular among white supremacists and far-right extremists called for the assassination of Biden, and named Jewish administration officials including Attorney General Merrick Garland, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas as potential targets. Declarations of civil war were also appearing, according to documents detailing some of the threats. “On Gab, one user posted a series of violent threats accusing Biden of stealing the election,” according to a threat alert from Site Intelligence Group sent to law enforcement agencies and others on Friday. Trump and many of his supporters have long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 presidential election won by Biden was stolen from Trump due to widespread voter fraud. Site Intelligence Group, which tracks online extremism activity, issued several threat alerts detailing calls for violence in response to Biden’s speech. The potential threats were posted in online forums tied to the Proud Boys, neo-Nazis and other extremist groups. “Users on several far-right and ultranationalist venues made violent threats against President Joe Biden following his speech addressing political extremism on September 1, 2022,” said one of the alerts. “Users advocated for Biden to be murdered and predicted violence if he continues speaking about the topic.” story continues news.yahoo.com/biden-speech-denouncing-trump-maga-ideology-sparks-threats-calls-for-violence-003139767.html I knew there would be some serious fallout from his speech. Now we wait to see what happens. It will be ugly I am sure. Could be worse that that Jan 6th event. Hope it doesn't but..... |

All Biden did was call out people like the MAGA retards who stormed the capital for Trump, threatetened Congress, wanted to hang Pence, got cops killed & maimed for life & tried to stop certification of the election. That's too bad & he should have done it a long time ago.
