Paranoia, the Destroyer
Paranoia, the Destroyer: I’m not sure that folks watching Fox News’ four-year old footage of the Portland riots are paranoid, or just victims of Drumf’s and Fox News’ dishonest marketing campaign about the current state of Portland. Maybe the viewers’ response could be considered paranoia, idk.
In an earlier post, I suggested that Dawson Park in Portland could use the ONG. It was an offhand remark, and the truth is, without the power to arrest drug-dealers and users, and with a judiciary that mostly lets dealers and users go right back onto the streets after being arrested, the presence of the Guard for drug-interdiction would be pointless.
Drumf is trying to put on a reality show in Portland, as I see it. A distraction from the genocide currently taking place in Palestine, and all of the other anti-American stuff he is involved with. Bread and circus. Though that strategy may no longer be effective for the kings and queens, as bread is too expensive and the circus sucks.
I suppose the ONG could occupy the park, but then the dealers would simply move shop somewhere else. And for the good of the heavy drug users roaming Portland streets, we have to get them into jail (to get sober) if they won’t go to rehab on their own. Compulsory rehab is best in my view. Their minds and bodies are being utterly destroyed, and quite rapidly. They are out of control and dying, and they need our help. Allowing this to go on is the opposite of compassion.
I drove a 20-something heroin addict, actually a really nice and smart guy from Seattle, who came to live in his car in Portland, after he heard the city council had legalized all hard drugs. When a PPB officer found him passed out in the front seat, with his works clearly visible in the passenger seat, he was offered jail or ‘Diversion’. He chose the totally-failed 3.3 million-dollar ‘Diversion’ (sign a pledge, leave same day, no meaningful follow-up), like a few hundred others have over the last couple of years, then went right back to the streets. I dropped him at his car/home off upper Burnside. I am pretty sure not one person got sober from ‘Diversion’, 3.3 million dollars later. I think the failed program is ending, but I’m not sure.
After the legalization of fentanyl, meth and heroin, junkies from all over America came to Portland, to live unmolested in tents, to do the deadly, life-ruining hard-drugs, legally. That’s the form this particular ‘woke compassion’ takes. The hard-drugs are still all but legal in Portland. And this fentanyl is nothing that Portland or the rest of America has ever seen. It totally destroys people, and very rapidly. I have seen it all, and it is utterly sad and insane that we are allowing this. These folks need our help to get off the drugs, not our ‘help’ honoring their addiction.
An interesting aside, the junkie from Seattle also told me that as soon as the Portland City Council legalized hard drugs, the Mexican cartels got word and flooded the new market, Portland, with fentanyl, meth, and heroin. They walked right over the no-border, then hopped on The Hound, bound for Portland. And he said the Mexican dealers, to protect their bosses, would tell their clients that they were Columbians! Dude was like ‘uh uh! We know you’re Mexicans!’ (I thought that was funny!)
Two days ago, driving through downtown Portland, there were maybe 200 folks that looked and behaved exactly like zombies. Hunched over, as fentanyl destroys their bones and body structure, staring off into space, wandering around. Sometimes I see them slowly falling to the ground, in what I call the fentanyl crumble, or, going down for the fentanyl count. It takes about 15-seconds for them to hit the ground. Again, nothing I see that the ONG can do about that. It’s a legislative and judicial problem, not an executive problem.
LAW AND ORDER! screams Drumf, the guy who is now officially a mass-murderer, cheered on by Vance. These international criminals ARE NOT CHRISTIANS. They are blasphemous anti-American traitors. (Biden too) Drumf’s targeting of dozens of human beings on three Venezuelan ‘drug boats’ (are you sure?) is called EXTRA-JUDICIAL KILLING.
Where is Senate Intel Chief Ron Wyden on this????????
Drumf certainly does not believe in law and order for him and his billionaire friends. (Same for Biden, etc.) He pardoned Michael Milken for God’s sake! And what else was I remembering…another friend of his….wait, it’s in there somewhere…gosh things move so fast these days…who was it??? Oh yeah, I remember now…

LAW AND ORDER MY ASS! And where are those JFK files, proving that Drumf’s legacy-CIA buddies murdered our democratically-elected president?
LAW AND ORDER MY ASS!
2020 in downtown Portland was absolutely an insurrection, far worse than J6. We needed the guard desperately then. Brown would NOT deploy them. Drumf DID NOT invoke Title 10 and deploy them. Again, it is my view that feds were the main instigators of violence in both cases, J6 and downtown Portland in 2020 (I drove through downtown everyday for work: it was a hell-scape).
Again, to the 200 ONG members coming to Portland, BEWARE OF A FALSE FLAG!!!!!! Don’t let Drumf/FBI/CIA turn you into victims!
Watch out for a Kent State moment too, as Kim pointed out. If I remember correctly it went like this: super tense protest on campus, but no violence. Then a car backfired, and someone in the guard thought it was gunfire, and started shooting the protestors. A simple car backfire was all it took for four college kids to die that day.
I am still very concerned that Drumf is up to something with this deployment. The town is just too quiet right now. The arrests over the past few days are normal for this kind of situation and the feds and PPB who are currently working at the site have it totally handled. But with Drumf’s escalation/distraction, that may not be the case for much longer.
If there is a false-flag planned by Drumf/FBI/CIA, the fed-agitators will not look like a Patriotic Farmer, as they costumed Ray Epps on January 6th, they will look like antifa.
Here is Epps, and there is a lot more info on him elsewhere:
Will COINTELPRO-type feds show up? Who knows, but as Kim’s Kent State observation shows, there needn’t be a false-flag event for a tragedy like Kent State to occur.
The link below is a deep dive on Epstein from Glenn Beck (yup, you heard that right!) interviewing the absolutely amazing Whitney Webb. I think it is incredibly important, as a nation, from a LAW AND ORDER standpoint, that we do not let this Epstein stuff disappear:

Federal Budget
Recent events show why strict guardrails are essential. On August 29, 2025, the administration attempted to cancel $4.9 billion in foreign aid using a “pocket rescission.” The Government Accountability Office has repeatedly stated that pocket rescissions are illegal under the Impoundment Control Act, yet the maneuver was attempted anyway. Appropriated funds have repeatedly been withheld or delayed without approval, undermining the law and co-opting Congress’s authority.
This is not a partisan issue. The balance of power depends on Congress defending its constitutional rights and responsibilities. Urge your Members of Congress to demand provisions to:
• Block unlawful rescissions or withholding of funds already approved by Congress
• Require that any spending changes receive congressional approval and transparent reporting
• Prevent unchecked executive overreach that erodes the separation of powers.
A budget without safeguards is a blank check. Please help convince Congress to protect constitutionally designated role and reject any budget deal that undermines accountability and the rule of law.

paranoia will destroy ya
Video is an excellent medium for manipulating the viewer. One only need examine their own emotional responses to videos to recognize the problem. We should never trust information conveyed by video is anything but entertainment. Didn’t movie credits used to end with a disclaimer?
83 year old Ed knows that most people are approachable and reasonable. But I think confronting others with rage is setting up interaction for failure and potential violence. Law enforcement and the military are trained to take command and control, so we should expect to give that up to them or face consequences. The current administration wants (needs) to have news video of those consequences to support their narrative and further violate constitutional checks and balances.
So I think we should be like Ed, probably warm and sincere, polite and respectful, since that will be the best way to realize our shared goals. That’s not giving up, it’s being smart and strategic.

The Kinks Were Right–Paranoia Will Destroy Ya!
by loretta.kim.rosenberg@gmail.com
“Everybody that I know who doesn’t live in Portland is convinced we burned it to the ground in 2020. That it’s some sort of nightmarish hellscape that looks like Mad Max, only with rain.” PSU Associate Professor of Sociology and expert on policing Aaron Rousell from Street Roots August 21, 2024.
Portland is not on fire. Portland is not war torn. Portland is a big city with all the problems a big city has—homelessness, drugs, crime. I was born and lived there or near enough for most of my life. Before NW 23rd was fancy and a one bedroom apartment near Good Sam cost $225 a month, you could work a regular job and live a regular life. There were still plenty of drugs around just different ones and way more violent crime than there is now. The crime rate has actually been steadily falling in Portland since 2020 so what’s the emergency that necessitates sending National Guard troops to American cities like Portland?
According to the Constitution there are only certain instances when a president is supposed to use the National Guard to police a city and none of these conditions exist in the cities where troops are being sent. There’s a good explanation of when, how and why a president can use the National Guard in a 2/28/2025 Substack article by Cyrus Javadi. It was reposted on the Pioneer’s website.
The ICE facility is on one block in the city of Portland. So the Guard is being deployed to protect one block and it’s estimated to cost $3.8 million dollars, which doesn’t count food and lodging.
Your technology knows what you like to read and what gets you clicking. The more we click the worse we usually feel because nobody is just looking at kitten videos these days. We’re a fearful bunch. We love us some bad news and a good conspiracy theory that reenforces whatever our beliefs are, so if you have a deep seated fear of people who are not like you, your technology will give you more of the same to feed that fear. If you believe Democrats or Republicans are the Antichrist or the Antifa you’ll get all the clickbait on the interwebs to keep you busy believing. The people with the power know that. They know that division serves them. They use fear as a tool and a distraction. Now that AI can replicate reality and there are few adults in the room to call a lie a lie, people are struggling to figure what’s real and what’s not.
I have a lot of friends in Portland and one of them is Ed, a retired attorney who happens to live near enough to the ICE facility in Portland’s south Waterfront to walk there on his 83 year old legs. He’s made it a practice to stop by and talk with the people protesting for the past three months. He’s not afraid and nothing bad has happened to him. It’s usually a group of about 30 people although it can be more. The other residents he’s talked with are more concerned about federal agents and National Guard troops encouraged to use “full force” than they are about the citizens protesting, as well they should be. Because when emotions are running hot and the people charged with community policing are not community police, bad things can and do happen.
Here’s an example. On May 4, 1970, the governor of Ohio called in the National Guard to intervene at Kent State where students were protesting the US invasion of Cambodia. When students didn’t disperse, Guardsmen advanced and opened fire on unarmed students killing 4 in a matter of thirteen seconds.
There are real things to be afraid of right now—hospitals closing, safety net programs shut down, masked ICE agents detaining undocumented people without criminal records, deportation to third countries without due process, domestic military action by a Department of War, the chilling of free speech. I could go on but you get the idea.
I can’t remember where I read this or who said it but it struck a chord for me—America is the home of the brave and the land of the free and sometimes you have to be brave to be free.

SATURDAY PROTEST IN NEHALEM
Just a reminder of the Protest in Nehalem on October 4th, Saturday, from noon to 2 PM. Come when you can and stay as long as you like. This looks like a very busy weekend for local events.
The North County Resistance group organizes these peaceful protests to advocate for positive change in our community, promoting justice, equity, and neighborly support. We invite all community members—both regular participants and newcomers—to join us in making a meaningful impact together.
Bring your signs, your chairs, your positive attitude, and a couple of cans of food for our local North County Food Bank. And yes, checks and cash are greatly appreciated. We generally have someone from the Food Bank at the Protest, and they take the food to Wheeler every Tuesday morning.
The North County Resistance group would appreciate everyone attending these Protests to know it is our intention to keep all our activities safe, peaceful, and orderly. You will see some people wearing orange vests at the Protests. If there is any problem, you should contact these people and let them solve the problem. North County Resistance does this to keep everyone safe. We want you to be calm and stay calm—and be a team player when you come to protest. Please listen to the people in the orange vests. They may ask you to not cross the road in the middle of Hwy. 101 but to please use the crosswalk—simple concept, right? They may ask you to not have your sign too far out onto the highway, which might hamper a driver’s line of vision. Lots of these things are common sense, but if there is a moment when things begin to unravel, please listen to the people in orange vests. No, we have not had anything unravel at these Protests. We may practice on this coming Saturday to see what we might need to work on for the BIG NO KINGS event on October 18, in Manzanita.
We need more volunteers to serve as Marshalls at the October event—these team members play a vital role in keeping everyone safe and organized. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact me, Patty, at 503-368-6081 or speak with me at Saturday’s protest. Your support makes a real difference!
The website below is all about Safety at the Protests. Thanks very much for listening.

TO THE OREGON NATIONAL GUARD
www.koin.com/news/portland/residents-near-dawson-park-demand-more-resources-to-reduce-violence/
But in my view, this troop deployment is about Drumf and Fox News Pete, Secretary of Treason, doing the bidding oil, bomb-makers, and bankers, also known as the military industrial complex.
Drumf and Pete are about to attack Venezuela and Iran (for Israel), with an escalation of NATOs war against Russian waiting in wings. That’s the most likely reason the guard is being sent to Wokeland in my view, as the city is quite quiet other than woke-legislative street crime problem.
Again, if extreme violence shows up, look to Soros agitators and traitorous J6-type feds. Anitfa punks too, but 100% antifa is infiltrated by J6-traitorous fed-types.
Most genuine antifa are pathetic punks, and the right knows this.
Yesterday, Drumf wrote on his Lies Social acct:
“We’re only going in because, as American Patriots, WE HAVE NO CHOICE. LAW AND ORDER MUST PREVAIL IN OUR CITIES, AND EVERYWHERE ELSE!”
THE PRESIDENT LIES!!!!!!!!!!! GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!! FASCIST REGIME!!!!!!!!!

And to the Oregon National Guard members! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!! SORRY IT’S TAKING THIS FORM!!!!!!
We all know you would rather be home in Medford or wherever with your families, awaiting an actual emergency, which is why ya’ll signed up in the first place.
Anyway, thank you, and I hope you can enjoy our food carts and strip clubs, they are world-class!

troop deployment to Portland
And that is video “talking points” he can use in his war of rhetoric. He wants graphic evidence of resistance and violence. He is manipulating us by setting up emotionally charged situations between citizens and law enforcement.
State leaders who rightly insist there is no need for federal intervention will be undercut by those who take the bait and provide exactly what this mostly performative president wants.
Protesters should adopt a block party approach by bringing refreshments (non-alcoholic), celebrating peacefully, and staying out of the way. Let their signs do the talking and rejoice in resisting Trump’s un-American tactics.
City Declines To Disclose Total City Hall Costs
The above cost excluded the purchase of the Underhill property even though that was the only reason given by the City in 2017 to justify spending almost two million dollars for the purchase and loan cost. Despite not including the land as a project cost, the City Manager attempted to justify the Underhill purchase by comparing an empty lot currently for sale on Laneda for $129 a square foot. Raising this comparison begs some further explanation. Why did the City sell the same sized old City Hall property which is up the street from the aforementioned $129 per square foot example to the contractor who built City Hall for what appears to be a fire sale price for both the land and the “uninhabitable” building for approximately $67 per square foot?
The City Hall project was a capital construction project and as such is entitled to be reimbursed for the administrative efforts of City Hall staff. These indirect costs that City officials charge our Water Operating Fund and justify as responsible accounting were also omitted as a project cost. Utilizing the Water Operating Fund indirect cost methodology employed to reimburse City Hall staff for the administrative support tasks that they provided for the City Hall project over the past three years adds approximately $435,000 to the total cost. (Note) This figure acknowledges that City staff were not responsible for processing monthly payroll for contractors of the project and has been accordingly reduced to reflect this fact.
Despite being substantially built with borrowed money, City officials are unsure what the financing costs to repay those construction funds over the next 20 years are so they will not not be considered as part of the total project cost. What is known is that the current City Budget contains loan repayments for this fiscal year alone for the Underhill property and City Hall construction that total $37,500 per month. Based on the best available information, the 20 year loan interest costs for construction of City Hall alone will total approximately $1.85 million.
Actual Total Project Cost: Approximately $10.2 million.
When presented with the opportunity to give a clear accounting of the total cost of this project based on the decisions, City Budget figures and current accounting practices of our City officials, we get a report that lacks both accounting credibility and common sense. City officials would have us believe that this project involved nothing more than the cost of designing and building a structure and those costs ended with the ribbon cutting.
As this Council celebrates and attempts to dismiss any further explanations on the real cost of the City Hall project, they will pivot to the pressing needs to generate new sources of revenue for City services. Businesses should prepare for the prospect of a food tax and a new monthly street fee for residents on their water bills as the Council resurrects its Revenue Diversification efforts. What businesses and residents will actually experience is Revenue Confiscation to support General Fund services.
It took 75 years from Manzanita’s incorporation as a City for annual expenditures to provide General Fund services to reach $2.5 million in 2021. Just four years later, this year’s Budget for those same services requires $6.7 million annually and includes the largest repayment of long term debt in the City’s history.
The City is discovering that maintaining and providing City services for a year round visitor destination with a foundation built on short term rentals is an expensive undertaking. Higher property taxes and water rates, hiring more employees to administer the growing number of short term rentals and new fees and taxes for residents to subsidize the impact that visitors have on City infrastructure. Amid these facts, City officials seek to reassure residents that thanks to those visitors, community livability has never been better. Moving forward, they appear committed to confiscating and spending whatever it takes to ensure that the quality of life for residents keeps pace with the costs of government because $6.7 million dollars just does not go far these days.
There’s a fine line between fleecing and skinning. I’m not sure City officials grasp the significance of the distinction but residents are feeling the pain.

Portland jokes hit late night
Drumf is 4 years too late. In 2020, Pelosi and Wheeler cheered on the extremely violent protesters. Drumf did NOT send in the guard then, just like he failed to secure our border in term one.
Why Portland now?
I bought my Vanilla Ice CD at Music Millennium, and I will roll down to the 50-foot ‘war zone’ on Thursday and blast some Vanilla, with a big smile on my face.
If things do escalate in the days to come, from outside Soros-agitators or traitorous J6-type feds, let’s at least make sure this doesn’t happen again:
And if George did in fact overdose (he did), it would be more proper to blame his death on open-border Democrats than Chauvin. Or Drumf’s open border during term one, a place and time where it WOULD have been appropriate to send in The National Guard. One could at least argue that the drugs coming across the open-border ruined George Floyd’s life.
Anyway, here is some funny!

More On National Guard In Portland
Fox News host Pete, Secretary of Treason, just met with 800 military leaders. I think we all know why.
As someone who was in the Portland streets daily protesting after Dubya and Dick invaded Iraq on behalf of Bibi’s Greater Israel project, which came after those same criminals flew airplanes into and then blew-up WTC bldgs #1 and #2, and then blew-up WTC #7, my view is that actual Portlanders will indeed get very aggressive protesting those wars. I will likely join them, even though the lot of ‘em totally dropped the ball on ‘covid’ and George Floyd, who died of an overdose and was NOT killed by Chauvin.
So maybe Drumf and the CIA/FBI are getting ahead of all that with this deployment.
Still, in that event, be aware of Soros-funded non-Portland residents being shipped in to cause major violence AND those treasonous J6 feds like Ray Epps.
Anyway, jut thinking and sharing.
Here is a link about Drumf and Pete’s treasonous war they are starting with Venezuela:

Nehalem Protest-Saturday, October 4, noon to 2 PM
Thank you to everyone who joined us last week in Nehalem—your energy and commitment make a real difference, and new faces are always welcome!
The North County Resistance Group will meet again this Saturday in the Nehalem City Parking Lot from noon to 2:00 PM. Join us to make your voice heard, connect with fellow community members, and help shape our community’s future. Bring your signs, a chair, and a positive attitude; stay as long as you like. After a few days of much-needed rain, we’re hopeful for sunny weather next Saturday.
Together, we are working to restore law and order to our National Government by advocating for transparent policies and supporting local initiatives that protect democratic values. By gathering, we not only defend our own freedom of speech but also stand up for the rights of those around us.
Our commitment to our local food bank remains strong. Please put that food in your car right now so you don’t forget it. Non-perishable foods, check, and cash are always welcome, and they go right to our North County Food Bank. Congratulations to those who made it possible for the food bank to take up space next door to their current location while their building is being built. And a big thank you to all the donors in our community who keep the food bank going.
We will have more information about the “No Kings” protest coming up in October. Again, we need 8-10 people to help us set up and with the safety and security issues.
Best,
Patty
A worthy read
Worried for Oregon
Portland does not need them now.
As such, Drumf is making Kotek look really, really good.
And that sucks.
In my view, she is handling this moment, which is actually just a CIA/Drumf marketing ploy (Epstein who?? GAZA City what??) very maturely and professionally, characteristics I feel compelled to point out, as American politics is awash with Drumfs and AOCs.
Not being a fan of Kotek, I’m wondering why Drumf’s team (CIA) has chosen to make her look good. VP for Gruesome Newsome maybe?
If Fox News commentator Pete, now Secretary of TREASONOUS WAR (look up the legal definition of treason), is planning to fight a WAR IN PORTLAND, he better bring a lot of Soros-funded agitators and treasonous J6 alum FBI traitors to have his ‘war’ with, cuz ain’t nothing happening at the Macadam Ave, small, detention facility.
Kotek, PPB and local ICE absolutely got the facility protests under control over the summer. There may be more arrests, but absence Soros/fed agitators, local ICE and PPB have it totally handled.
I drove the though the 50-foot WAR ZONE in my taxi. THERE WERE PROTESTORS!!!!!! THERE WAS ICE!!!!!!! THERE WAS PPB!!!!!! and it was all cool.
There was a military helicopter circling the small facility at about 1,500 feet, and that was not necessary at all, but it was provocative. Thanks Drumf and your new FOX NEWS commentator secretary of WAR, you are helping Oregon oh so much!!!!
EPSTEIN WHO???????
GAZA CITY WHAT????????
Pretty sure no arrests last night?
Glad I wasn’t in Gaza tho…
So if something flares up, look to Soros and the CIA.
That’s my take.
WHICH IS TRUE?
Oregon Governor Tina Kotek responded, “There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm. I ask Oregonians to stay calm and enjoy a beautiful fall day.”
We let the facts speak for themselves …
Multiple law enforcement personnel have been injured during the recent Portland ICE riots.
• Nearby residents have been assaulted
• 3 independent journalists have been assaulted.
• The nearby school has closed due to the riots.
• Police are unable to enforce open law breaking that is going on nightly.
• Residents nearby cannot open their windows because of both the tear gas used as riot control and also the large volume of smoke bombs used by protesters.
• Local shops are losing business as the riots damage windows and chase away customers.
• Anti-ICE Protesters shut down Portland Mayor’s recent public speech and forced him to leave the area. Free speech is being attacked in public.
• Law enforcement officials have had their names, addresses and family photos of family members posted online.
• Rioters zip-tied the ICE office doors and then tried to set fires upon the building.

Actually, this looks to me like a Drumf-marketing nothing-burger.
The Portland ICE (The agency used to be called INS (Immigration and Naturalization Service), but Dubya/Cheney/CIA changed the name to the scary/sexy ICE!!!!!!) detention facility is small and has been around and underutilized or a long time. It is on MaCadam Ave, next to a Tesla dealership. You can’t make this up. I drove by in the cab a few days ago, nothing at all was going on, and my Portland passenger didn’t even know that is where the facility was located.
So yeah, nothing-burger from Drumf.
If ICE (shivers………..!!!!!!!!) does a bunch of provocative stuff with Drumf’s CIA, maybe ‘protesters’ will show up again.
If they do, I promise I will drive my taxi down there and wave and smile to the ICE agents AND the protestors, BLASTING the song linked below!!!!!!! Because if you’re not having fun, what’s the point??? And just like Charlie Kirk who was realizing we are all one, and just like Malcom who was realizing that we are all one, I will attempt to bridge the divide!
Me…..and Vanilla Ice. Baby.

Are we there yet? Part 2

Are we there yet: Reply
‘’And dear Andy now points at so many distinct oppressive conspiracies that you need a spreadsheet running on a AI-ready 16-core gaming PC just to keep track of them all.”
That is correct Gene, and if you are smart, you will pay serious attention to the things I have written. And you are welcome.
Gene also wrote:
“He declares Peter Thiel to be fascist but then (apparently) spends a lot of his screen time looking at and sharing content from Thiel’s apocalyptic version of YouTube, rumble.com.”
Everything I have shared from Thiel’s Rumble is also available on YouTube, owned by Google/Alphabet.
And Google was started at the CIA and Eric Schmidt is another anti-christ CIA/fascist character just like Thiel.
That said, I cannot think of a big video-sharing platform the isn’t run by/controlled by CIA/fascist-types.
Gene also wrote: “The dawn-of-realization phase of MAGA’s profound failure is going to be turbulent.”
And bless all of those who couldn’t stomach another minute of a Biden/Harris regime, who then put some hope in MAGA, and now realizes that Drumf is just as bad as Biden.
If only the do-no-wrong Dems would have a similar reaction about the lying, war-making, no border, globalist anti-American con artists they STILL support: Hillary, Kamala, Bill, Barak, Joe, Wyden, etc.
And I also want to point out that there are two MAGAs as I see it:
There is MAGA the fake, anti-American brand co-opted by anti-American Drumf and his criminal associates.
And then there folks who actually love this country, believe in the Constitution, would love to see another 1776, who actually want to Make America Great Again, something republicans AND democrats seem unable to accomplish.
Finally, I think Dixie is a great example for all of us: it’s okay to apologize when we are wrong! Thanks Dixie!!!
