Trump’s RWNJ’s Come To Portland. Make no mistake: The white nationalists are taking their cues directly from Trump. He creates the crisis, then blames it on ‘Democrat mayors’. Will Biden be able to place the blame where it belongs? If history is a guide, I doubt it.
Racism Of Marines In Clear Relief. They won’t promote a battle-tested Black soldier who everybody but Marine leadership believes deserves it. They never have:
But never in its history has the Marine Corps had anyone other than a white man in a senior leadership post. Colonel Henderson is Black.
Proud and fierce in their identity, the Marines have a singular race problem that critics say is rooted in decades of resistance to change. As the nation reels this summer from protests challenging centuries-long perceptions of race, the Marines — who have long cultivated a reputation as the United States’ strongest fighting force — remain an institution where a handful of white men rule over 185,000 white, African-American, Hispanic and Asian men and women.
A Way Out For R Voters. Vote for Biden. Tell people you voted for Trump. ‘No one will ever know’. BTW, Don Winslow has written brilliantly about the drug war at the border. It’s fact masquerading as fiction. Highly recommended.
Cali Knows How To Stop Megafires, But Doesn’t Do It. Controlled burning. Read this, then ask yourselves, why don’t they do it?
The ‘Swift Boat’ Guy Is Back To Rescue Trump. One Chris LaCivita. They’re trying to tie Biden to the Defund the Police movement. They succeeded against John Kerry, who is to say they won’t draw blood this time?
Croda Is Evil. It is a serial polluter of the surrounding neighborhoods. Now they’re going after the County for its moves to limit the height of the Minquadale landfill. I was helping on a lit drop for Marie Pinkney on Saturday in Minquadale. Anybody living in West Minquadale has to deal with that relentless stench all the time. It’s less environmental racism than it is environmental class warfare. Dave McBride got donations from both Waste Management and Waste Management’s lobbyists, and forced through an increase in the height of the landfill. Marie Pinkney supports the people who live there. McBride thumbs his nose at them. There is no starker choice this election season.
