A Walla Walla, WA newspaper editor in 1951 advocated rooting out the Marxists and Communists, claiming that the Democratic president had been too attentive to the rights of minorities and insufficiently respectful of the rights of White Christians. That editor was Syd Pierce, an antisemitic fascist.
given our country over into the hands of MINORITIES, without regard to the rights of the majority White Christian Constitutional Americans. Mr. Truman has con-doned, rather than condemned, racketeering and corruption in high places. He has NEVER made any real attempt to ROOT OUT
Marxist-communists
from govern-
ment.

Trump is a failing authoritarian whose approval ratings are tanking. Like any bully, when he feels humiliated, he lashes out. But what he doesn’t realize is that his authoritarianism and his bullying are waking up America’s great sleeping giant.

Inflation eating up worker pay. Household debt and student loan defaults at a record high. 8 million people have lost healthcare the past year. Thousands have been sickened by disease outbreaks and contaminated food. Trump says, "Pretend I'm on the ballot" ahead of the midterms. Please do.
