Steve Bannon said the other morning he will have 20K "shock troops" on standby. "We control this country," he added. "We have to start acting like it."

Throughout the federal deployment to Portland, officers from the Federal Protective Services requested assistance from the Department of Homeland Security’s Homeland Identities Targeting and Exploitation Center to search protesters’ cellphones. That team found the searches were illegal, and resisted pressure from senior Homeland Security leaders to assist FPS.

So why are some of the largest unvaccinated populations, blacks and those with PhD's? Those people take their marching orders from Foxnews?

"What we could have: masks+vaccination=freedom"

Tell that to Connecticut College students, who have a 100% vaccination rate, and are in a complete lockdown.

Are you trying to say Foxnews should not be listened to by anyone who is a minority or educated?

Lying again, I see
Connecticut College is not locked down, is following the Covid Protocol.

I'm saying blacks and college professors are a very democratic group, so they aren't refusing the vaccine because foxnews tells them to. Too fast for you?

"Connecticut College is not locked down"

OK, YOU SAID masks + vaccines = freedom.

No in person classrooms, kids can only be in their dorm with roomates (no one else), cafeterias closed, gym closed, sports and clubs cancelled. For $80,000 a year.

If that's your idea of freedom, then you can embrace that all you want, but most of us will take a hard pass, thanks.

Oh, we all know that the best thing for blacks would be to listen to what thoughtful conservatives say on Foxnews. Unfortunately, they don't.

The last thing democrats want, is for poor folks to hear someone rationally explain that the path to upward economic mobility doesn't lie with demonizing rich people, but rather lies in strong family and hard work and good decision-making. Democrats desperately want to hide that message from blacks, because if more blacks embraced that, they wouldn't feel the need to vote for democrats.
