I for one think it’s bad that the president can just say crazy stuff all day every day and 99% of it doesn’t make the news because we’ve normalized having an insane president

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

Across the Country, Youth Prisons Are Closing. This State Is Building More.
Tennessee officials say they need more high-security facilities for kids who commit crimes. Experts say this approach flies in the face of crime data and research that shows youth prisons are not reha...
