Coca-Cola's Nazi Past: Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Getrank! Coke ist es!

A Chairde,

The Coca-Cola corporation is currently joining with the "Woke" anti-White crowd in the U.S. (BLM, Antifa, etc.), and the Atlanta-based company has called the new Georgia election law "racist". But let's just recall a little history, shall we?

Ein Volk! Ein Reich! Ein Getrank! Coke ist es!

Coke was a popular drink in Germany back then, very much so. And then when the U.S. got involved in WWII, Coke in Nazi Germany renamed itself. The new name? Fanta.

Big corporations have no political courage. They "go with the flow." Then and now. That never changes. But we need to know about it. They funded the rise of the Nazis and they're funding the rise of BLM, Antifa, and the Fascist American state.

Who is running the Government, and National Guard stay extended to May in D.C.

Amici,

The Department of Defense announced on Tuesday Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin approved the Capitol Police’s request to extend the National Guard’s deployment through May 23.

One wonders why (as Gollum would says, "Yessss, we wonderssss....").

Zhou Xiden will probably be gone by then, May 23rd – he’s obviously non compos mentis now (can't remember his Defense Secretary's name). And in his speech last night, he was completely removed from "the situation on the ground" regarding Covid. Pundits and commentators are having a field day. Most of America has long passed by what Biden seems to think is going on regarding Covid restrictions. But he clearly only knows (to the extent he knows anything)

• Meanwhile, "Camel-toes" "Heels-up" Harris keeps doing his various jobs. Harris is deeply unpopular, even with the Democrats (recall her utter failure in the Democrat primaries, and toward the bottom of the list of her own state, CA). Everyone who cares to look will see just how foul the “New Order/Great Reset” is shaping up by May 23rd, as well.

• And also by May 23rd the flood waters of the Covid hoax will have retreated to a large extent, and they’ll reveal stunning economic and social and psychological devastation. Just stunning.
  
• By that time, food and fuel prices will be insane, more so than now. They've already shot up over a dollar and more since "Beijing Zhou" was inaugurated, and as internationally right now there's a glut on the market, there's no market reason for this. The government "powers-that-be" are apparently milking it to raise revenue (in part, at least).
• “Civil Unrest” will be spreading by then, as the weather improves. It'll be a "long hot summer" of brutal street violence.
  

So, just a few of the reasons, perhaps, why the U.S. Capitol will resemble the Kremlin for some time. (Ever notice how Socialism-Communism is all the same? The elites rule the masses, the elites in Kremlins and the masses in "block apartment "panel housing"?) Really, of course, the above means the N.G. will be “extended” indefinitely.

Who is running the "gum'it"?

One thing to keep in mind about the Husk Biden (sort of the ontological opposite of the Hulk, isn't he?) and "Heels-Up", is that they're obviously being run. They're being managed. The general opinion I garner from the blogs is it is Obama (and his puppet master, Valerie Jarret) who are running the show. Another possibility: the Deep State Security Apparat is running the show, the CIA-FBI cabal. They bent over backwards to "elect" this zombie, that's for sure.

Eric Metaxas and John Zmirak were discussing this the day before yesterday, and below is a rough transcription of the first part of it.

John Zmirak
"The Deep State seems to have wanted Joe Biden. It seems to me, a plausible theory, a plausible theory that those guys at the Deep State wanted a kind of shadow president, a non compos mentios president and a vice president without (electoral or popular) support, are the ones making the decisions. They're being run, they're being managed.
Eric Metaxas
This is wildly unconstitutional. Wilson did this, when his wife was running the country. If we elect a leader -- it is fundamentally wrong as it gets -- we choose a leader, and it is supposed to be Joe Biden, and he's not actually running the country, we have a scandal. This is an unmanageable scandal. It's earthshaking.
Zmirak
To be fair, Joe Biden wasn't there during the campaign. He had a call of leave before 11 am every day. Joe Biden wasn't there during the campaign. ... It's a civic scandal that Americans would just sleep-walk into electing someone whom they wouldn't elect to drive a school bus in the morning.

Pelosi and Congress want to take the nuclear codes away from him. The president should be compos mentis so he can control the nuclear codes. The president should not be removed frivolously. ... We're in a kind of weird interregnum. And again, we don't know the people who are actually making the decisions. ... With Kamala Harris, there'd be no veneer of moderation, no pretense. There's probably a factional fight going on in the White House. Better a melting-down Disney automonitron dead-president puppet who is less destructive than this hard-leftist radical, vindictive Harris, an incredibly unpopular prosecutor who tried to put Pro-Life journalists in prison for doing their job, which was reporting on Planned Parenthood. This is an astonishing set of circumstances.

They complained that Donald Trump was unprofessional, that Donald Trump was a threat to the Republic, and they gave us THIS on a silver platter.
...
It's staggering to me. HR 1. The Democrats are trying to codify in federal law all of the abuses that occurred in the 2020 election. They're trying to make them permanent, so that they'll win every election from now on. It is the one-party state. It is the Stacey Abrams empowerment act of 2021. It really is the end of the Republic. If HR1 passes, if we can't stop it in the Senate, if they get rid of the Filibuster, you and I can pack up our tents and never talk politics again. We will live in Venezuela, where the elections are rigged indefinitely. You and I, we can embrace the Benedict option and go into our bunker. We're serfs under the Tsar. (17:07)

Ron again:

I also note the House of Reps has just passed yet another gun-control law, this one involve more extensive background checks. Zmirak spoke of that, as well.

In I believe 2014, 1,500 Terrorists attacking Mosul overcame 60,000 Iraqi government soldiers and raped the popuation, raping the women and children, killing the men, selling women as slaves in a computerized database. 2.5 million people. Why? Because the Iraqi government had disarmed the people. They had imposed gun control. And gun control does one thing: it allows government or criminals or terrorists (sometimes indistinguishable) to terrorize the population.

Death by Government by R.J. Rummel 170 million civilans were murdered by their governments. What they had in common: they had been disarmed by their governments. So when the Democrats or the bishops say (as Bergoglio has been saying lately) that guns have to be given up, they are making you has helpless as the people of Mosul were in the face of the Issis terrorists. 

And Zmirak brought up the absolutely enraging story about Jake Gardner. Everyone should remember Jake Gardner.

Remember Jake Gardner, Iraqi War Vet; Ann Coulter wrote Innocent Until Proven Trump Supporter

His life didn't matter.
Jake Gardner killed protester while defending his bar during BLM riots.
D.A. & police find shooting was in self-defense.
Under pressure, D.A. appoints black prosecutor to indict Gardner.
Gardner's GoFundMe page taken down.
Gardner commits suicide.

Another report on Jake Gardner story, Omaha Nebraska. An excerpt:

The shooting was reviewed by a grand jury after Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine initially declined to file charges, believing that Gardner had acted in self-defense after reviewing video and witness statements. Kleine later requested the review after his decision was criticized to ensure people kept faith in the justice system.

Surveillance video seemed to show words exchanged between Gardner, his father and protesters before Gardner, flashing a gun, backed away. Gardner was shoved to the ground by two people before he fired two shots, sending people scrambling. Scurlock then jumped on Gardner's back and was shot by Gardner.

Everyone needs to remember Jake Gardner. It can happen to anyone. Look at this outrageous story:

The Democrat Party and Obama's Purge of the Military -- a little history

Amici,

Something said last night got me into research a bit of history that I'm surprised I don't remember very well. Something Obama, who famously said, "Elections have consequences," did. In the context of recent events, it is important to bring it up.

Tucker Carlson is a conservative commentator on Fox News, and I have friends who think he goes a bit extreme, and I do indeed get the sense he sometimes goes too far, as he did when the Coronavirus was first appearing on the international scene. Carlson was in scream mode, then. He was a Cassandra, then, although later he quickly enough took the opposite position as evidence mounted that it was a hoax -- "hoax" in the sense that it was in no way the all-conquering, millions-killing disease it was initially cranked up to be, requiring us to shutter the Western World economically.

Now Tucker is on the meme (or scream) that Black Lives Matter is about to take over the U.S., by taking over the Democrat Party and giving us Joe Biden as a puppet president and Keith Ellison as Attorney General -- he's an execrable American Muslim and former Congressman -- whom George Soros' money installed as Attorney General of Minnesota (legal experts are saying already that Ellison is making a mess of the prosecution of the cop that killed George Floyd, and Floyd might easily get off). It is certain that the Democrats will try to "steal" the election in November in divers ways, and it is possible they might succeed -- the Dems are excellent at stealing votes, that's well-documented -- though tensions are so high that if they'd do so, the U.S. would descend into a true shooting Civil War.

They're already taking over sections of Seattle. Antifa is: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2020/06/09/antifa-militants-seize-seattle-police-hq-set-up-autonomous-zone-n512621

However, what Carlson didn't mention, and as I've noted before, within the larger African-American community, Black Lives Matter (BLM) is in an uneasy partnership with AME (i.e. "African-Methodist-Episcopal", the long-established Black Civil Rights mafia that controls a good part of the Democrat Party), and even now, evidence is quickly mounting that "blowback" is coming against the extremist BLM people. The AME people are big in the Democrat Party and regularly ensure Democrats get the Black vote. But BLM is just too extreme for them. Also, were they to just surrender to the BLM, the AME factin would lose their cachet of power -- something they definitely don't want.

This article: https://thefederalist.com/2020/06/09/the-crowd-that-booed-jacob-frey-is-on-the-cusp-of-controlling-the-democratic-party/ gives a good description of the stark issues facing the standard Democrat Party bigshots. Since the 2018 election (when the Dems took control of the House of Representatives), standard Democrats have so far let the Left (as in Sandy Ocasio, a.k.a. "AOC") run the Democrat show. For example, the past couple of years have seen countless articles discussing how "AOC" has upstaged and to some extent bossed Nancy Pelosi around. The Leftist tail is wagging the Democrat dog, to put it that way.

But are mainstream (i.e., mildly Left-of-center) Democrats willing to "go there"? It is far more likely that the BLM and the rioters and the insane rhetoric will turn off far, far more Democrat votes (Black, White, Latino, Asian, Gay) than it will attract. Also, over the summer, indictments not only of radical Leftists (Antifa) but the Deep State plotters will be filed. (Or so one hopes.) It will be interesting. And as for "defunding the police", Chicago has suffered it worse night for murder, 18 murders in 24 hours. https://disrn.com/news/chicago-suffers-deadliest-day-in-60-years-with-18-murders-in-24-hours

I can't image many people really voting "Democrat" this Fall. BTW, the mayor of Chicago is begging businesses to stay, as they get prepared to leave, like Walmart. But why would anyone in any of these cities? In Minneapolis, the same story. https://www.startribune.com/manufacturer-that-burned-during-mpls-riots-plans-to-move-out-of-the-city/571104922/

An excerpt:

A Minneapolis manufacturing company has decided to leave the city, with the company's owner saying he can't trust public officials who allowed his plant to burn during the recent riots. The move will cost the city about 50 jobs.

"They don't care about my business," said Kris Wyrobek, president and owner of 7-Sigma Inc., which has operated since 1987 at 2843 26th Av. in south Minneapolis. "They didn't protect our people. We were all on our own."

Wyrobek said the plant, which usually operates until 11 p.m., shut down about four hours early on the first night of the riots because he wanted to keep his workers out of harm's way. He said a production supervisor and a maintenance worker who live in the neighborhood became alarmed when fire broke out at the $30 million Midtown Corner affordable housing apartment complex that was under construction next door.

"The fire engine was just sitting there," Wyrobek said, "but they wouldn't do anything."

Two days after the riots began, Gov. Tim Walz described the city's response as an "abject failure." Walz ordered the National Guard into Minneapolis to restore order at the request of Mayor Jacob Frey. The violence sometimes overshadowed peaceful protests over the death last month of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers.

Frey said Monday that he was unaware of 7-Sigma's decision to move, and he declined to say whether the company's decision reflects the challenges facing city leaders as they try to convince business owners to rebuild in Minneapolis. Many business owners have criticized the city, saying their pleas for help went unanswered.

Ron again:

Fantasy is fun, but Reality is a beast.

However, last night Carlson asked an excellent question: "Why doesn't the Left criticize the military any longer?" I hadn't noticed that. They don't. Carlson said the Left/Democrats/Deep State had subdued the military. Right now the Left is in full-scale war against the police, however, and that's because they don't control them, but are aiming to. The police won't actually be "defunded" but regular police will be replaced by BLM-approved security forces, heavily Muslim and Sharia compliant, especially in Minneapolis, which has a large Muslim population now.

As for the military, this fiasco of the Sec of Defense ordering both regular military and Nat. Guards to "stand down" during this past weekend's riots is interesting to me. Extremely. In any coup d'état, you need to control the military, or a good portion of it.

In any event, Carlson's point is that the Left is critical of the police because they don't control them, but they control the military. Look at Gen. James Mattis ridiculous critique of Trump, and there's a host of others, like retired General John Kelly. There's a host of others.

So I did a little research and found this article from October, 2013:

https://www.investors.com/politics/editorials/197-military-officers-purged-by-obama/

An excerpt

    07:01 PM ET 10/29/2013

Defense: What the president (at that time, Obama) calls "my military" is being cleansed of any officer suspected of disloyalty to or disagreement with the administration on matters of policy or force structure, leaving the compliant and fearful.

We recognize President Obama is the commander-in-chief and that throughout history presidents from Lincoln to Truman have seen fit to remove military commanders they view as inadequate or insubordinate. Turnover in the military ranks is normal, and in these times of sequestration and budget cuts the numbers are expected to tick up as force levels shrink and missions change.

Yet what has happened to our officer corps since President Obama took office is viewed in many quarters as unprecedented, baffling and even harmful to our national security posture. We have commented on some of the higher profile cases, such as Gen. Carter Ham. He was relieved as head of U.S. Africa Command after only a year and a half because he disagreed with orders not to mount a rescue mission in response to the Sept. 11, 2012, attack in Benghazi.

Rear Adm. Chuck Gaouette, commander of the John C. Stennis Carrier Strike Group, was relieved in October 2012 for disobeying orders when he sent his group on Sept. 11 to "assist and provide intelligence for" military forces ordered into action by Gen. Ham.

Other removals include the sacking of two nuclear commanders in a single week — Maj. Gen. Michael Carey, head of the 20th Air Force, responsible for the three wings that maintain control of the 450 intercontinental ballistic missiles, and Vice Adm. Tim Giardina, the No. 2 officer at U.S. Strategic Command.

From Breitbart.com's Facebook page comes a list of at least 197 officers that have been relieved of duty by President Obama for a laundry list of reasons and sometimes with no reason given. Stated grounds range from "leaving blast doors on nukes open" to "loss of confidence in command ability" to "mishandling of funds" to "inappropriate relationships" to "gambling with counterfeit chips" to "inappropriate behavior" to "low morale in troops commanded."

Nine senior commanding generals have been fired by the Obama administration this year, leading to speculation by active and retired members of the military that a purge of its commanders is under way.

Retired U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Paul Vallely, an outspoken critic of the Obama administration, notes how the White House fails to take action or investigate its own officials but finds it easy to fire military commanders "who have given their lives for their country." Vallely thinks he knows why this purge is happening.

"Obama will not purge a civilian or political appointee because they have bought into Obama's ideology," Vallely said. "The White House protects their own. That's why they stalled on the investigation into Fast and Furious, Benghazi and ObamaCare. He's intentionally weakening and gutting our military, Pentagon and reducing us as a superpower, and anyone in the ranks who disagrees or speaks out is being purged."

Another senior retired general told TheBlaze on the condition of anonymity, because he still provide services to the government and fears possible retribution, that "they're using the opportunity of the shrinkage of the military to get rid of people that don't agree with them or do not toe the party line. Remember, as (former White House chief of staff) Rahm Emanuel said, never waste a crisis."

For President Obama, the military of a once-feared superpower is an anachronistic vestige of an America whose exceptionalism and world leadership require repeated apologies. It must be gutted and fundamentally transformed into a force wearing gender-neutral headgear only useful for holding the presidential umbrella when it rains. It is to be "his" military and used only for "his" purposes.

The Ghost of George Floyd about to be retired? Riots losing steam? Exploitation not what it used to be?

Amici,

I know you're all tired of the Racism Riots and the endless MSM (Left and Right) chatter about it endlessly, but I'll take this opportunity to make a last observation or two. This most recent avatar of the long-running Clash of the Races in the U.S. is fizzling out fast.

First, what is/was it, exactly? A protest against "police brutality"?

For those, such as my European friends (Antifa and BLM riots are occurring now in some European cities), stats from various sources over the past decade or so show that there's no real case to be made that U.S. Blacks are special targets of U.S. police (many of whom are Black). Occasionally, of course, it happens, as with George Floyd. But as a predicate for mass riots and burning and looting, no, it is insane to try to justify all that by the small number of such actual cases. See the Attorney General Bill Barr in a hostile interview swat down every attempt to make this sort of case: https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/06/07/sunday-talks-attorney-general-bill-barr-vs-margaret-brennan/

Even more importantly, all these police forces and cities that have George Floyd-type killings are run by Democrats. For example, Democrats have run Minneapolis for 40 years or so, non-stop. Same is true of Detroit, Baltimore, Chicago, you name it. It must be understood that in great part, the majors and city councils of these places are allowing all this insanity in order to cover up their own incredible malfeasance, their incompetence, and their using of the Blacks as stooges to further their aims. Even more incredibly, they have the gall to blame the Republicans for these problems! Republicans, shut out of these cities, have be definition nothing to do with the Democrats' lousy government.

Second, is racism inherent in U.S. society? The most basic "racism" in the U.S. is Affirmative Action (today and for some decades past, at least, whatever its use was in the '60s; Griff can explain earlier time) for it implicitly (and, really, explicitly) enshrines into law that African-Americans are incapable of ever competing in society their own and need all kinds of help and preferences given to them, apparently in perpetuity. Anyone – ANYONE – who has looked for work in the U.S. since probably the '80s or even before (Lyndon Johnson legalized this racism in the '60s) has been aware that if one is white, male, and non-homosexual, one has a Hell of a time getting a job. Blacks and women, have the advantage in getting jobs.

As long as that full, formally institutionalized racism that is Affirmative Action structurally built into the U.S. legal and business architecture, we'll never get ride of actual racism. White perpetually resent the quotas, Blacks can never know if they get a job on their merits or the color of their skin. An excellent article on this little-discussed (because it is taboo) subject, is this: https://pjmedia.com/columns/philip-carl-salzman/2020/06/06/affirmative-action-the-systemic-racism-no-one-wants-to-talk-about-n503621

Finally, were the George Floyd riots an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government?

Sheesh, if so, I could have organized a putsch / coup d'état better than what's happened this past week – probably have, several times! (If I think about it.:) I was expecting the "Masses" to charge the WH Saturday, but nope. I was expecting a Storming of the Winter Palace or a redo of the Pairisan mob carrying Louis XVI from Versailles to Paris in 1789.

But no.

And then yesterday, the Anifa-George Soros crew were going to organize a million man march on D.C. but...

Yesterday the new black panderers organized a million Antifa march with the Black Lives Matter crowd in Washington DC.  Unfortunately, they fell approximately 990,000 people short of the million person goal; only about 10,000 marchers present.

https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/06/07/candidate-joe-biden-will-visit-george-floyd-family-monday-record-video-for-third-floyd-funeral/

I guess the Whitey Antifa kids found they just couldn't get their feral inner-city mobs to "get with the program" beyond looting stores.

And maybe Papa Bergoglio can wash the feet of Muslims in Rome and get kudos from the MSM, but Whitey doin' it down in the 'hood, well, it just doesn't impress anyone:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/06/cult-police-officers-white-protesters-wash-feet-black-protest-organizers-beg-forgiveness-video/

Late today I see headlines where Democrats in Congress have "taken the knee" to George Floyd, using the U.S. Capitol as a stage for their burlesque. Idiots. In contrast, a Georgia state trooper who happens to be Black said today, "I only kneel for God." (The idea of any American kneeling or bowing – remember Obama bowed to the king of Saudi Arabia – is reprehensible.)

So, well, well. I guess when you breed a couple of generations "without chests" as C.S. Lewis called them, then even the revolutionaries are without chests, too, right?

Seriously, something is deflating the whole shebang. "Sundance" discusses it at some length at the above conservativetreehouse link. There definitely was a plan involving Joe Biden at the funeral in Houston, where Biden was to meet with Obama and "W", the second Bush president (I've lost all respect for that one, every smidgen). And James Clyburn, the South Carolina Congressman (6th district, from 1993 – he's a great argument for term limits), is the "ringmaster" for Biden and the Democrat leadership this show. He's the one who put Biden in the Dem nomination, and is the Biden campaign's capo. But whatever. For "inside baseball" on this circus, checkout the conservativetreehouse. I know that site often seems like it is too much into the tea leaves, but they've been right far more often since Trump's election than otherwise.

For instance, few of you know about the BLM (Black Lives Matter) cohort being in essence a Muslim-American front org., while most of the traditional U.S. Black Civil Rights/Oppression crowd are "AME", i.e. originally founded in and still (more or less, to some degree) encompassing Black Christian churches. The two disparate groups have joined up – the newer, more radical, Islamic BLM with the AME – but they turn off the Latino elements of "the oppressed", not to mention any Black man or woman who refuses to live down on the dystopia-like "Asphalt Plantation" inner cities (which is pretty much burned out dystopia, now). It's the BLM that is supporting the "Defund the Police" meme because they want to use Muslim Sharia law enforcers, and the AME is not on for that ride. Even the more classic types of "Liberal-Left" Whites are scared of that.

As Sundace writes: "This type of political calculation based on identity politics always carries a risk. We could be seeing – once again – the outcome of what happens when political ideology intersects with a very divided assembly of special interests."

And of course, I hasten to add, that none of the above affects the ongoing Deep State effort to remove Trump from office. That three-year-long puts ch seems to be always with us, like STDs, mosquito, and human folly.

Race Riots, North Korea Backs Down (for now), and General Chaos

I generally don't get too involved in politics on this site, but some important things are happening and perhaps a general comment won't go astray.

The riots in Virginia: we're still investigating (or I hope they are) exactly what happened, and how. But in general, it looks like the Left took advantage of a protest by the White Race Extremists (to call them something besides Extreme "Right', since in the U.S. context, the extreme "Right" is Libertarians/Leave-Me-Alone types; Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, in other words, whereas Neo-Nazis are Fascists, a different monster altogether).

• It's just a propaganda move, and very old hat, at that:
• Stage a riot...
• Make it big news...
• Use it to pillory your political enemies...
• Drum up some very negative "narrative" on them (to use a modern word, "narrative" for propaganda). 
• Actually, as this is all in Saul Alinsky, one just needs to read him for the details.

As for the "White Supremacists, the Neo-Nazis and KKK kind of groups in the U.S., they exist, but are small, crazy, and have more than a few FBI agents in them. (That's what happened to the Klan back in the '60s, it was totally infiltrated and castrated.) On the other hand, the Antifa and BLM (Black Lives Matter)-type groups thrive. For now. "Far-stretching, endless time brings forth all hidden things and buries that which once did shine...". Sophocles

Meanwhile, sympathy for "white fringe" groups — or at least some of their arguments — is growing and NOT decreasing, mainly I suppose because in the manner of large numbers of people who have been lied to for decades, the average Joe and Jane Americans, especially in the Rust Belt states (many of them being very ethnic themselves, as in being Irish, Polish, and so on) simply are not "buying it", i.e., not believing what they're told to buy: the "narrative". (NO ONE buys that now except maybe the U.S.'s very, very badly educated university students and old-Left hangers on.) And let's not forget tens of millions of white Southerners who are not racists but who are disgusted at the removal of their history, a sort of "1984" kind of thing that removing all these statues represents. That angers a lot of people, indeed. People who are armed to the teeth, btw.


I actually know something about that because I worked for years in textbook editing, being a writer, editor, proofer, and so on for a number of companies, one of them huge. It was probably the most wicked work I ever did (and at various times I had to take jobs in sales, mind you). After reading one of our middle school-level textbooks' sections on the American Civil War, you'd think the South fought for slavery, yes, and only that, while the northern armies were made up entirely of freed Blacks and women (honestly, we reported on a number of women who dressed as men and volunteered). Space in a textbook is a premium, and remember that most of the pages were taken up with pictures and maps.

Also, Robert Mueller's investigation into "the Russian Connection" is falling apart; see:
https://www.thenation.com/article/a-new-report-raises-big-questions-about-last-years-dnc-hack/
(and everyone please note that that is The Nation reporting this!), and foreign events (the Norks just backed down from launching missiles at Guam, as of today, at least) along with good domestic economic news, is all threatening to make President Trump look good (horrors! /sarc :) so any ol' thing that the Left can blow up is something they'll try to do.

As for Charlottesville, no matter what Trump says, it'll never be enough: https://pjmedia.com/trending/2017/08/14/what-do-the-media-really-want-from-trump/ precisely because these other things are making Trump look somewhat good, the Left is all the more desperate to make him look bad. They'll grasp at anything now to do that.

In other words, another day, and more of the same, more or less.

But what it represents — most importantly — is the slow corrosive acid that is breaking apart the social contract in the U.S. Martin Luther King (a Republican btw) was after getting American Blacks admitting fully into that contract; modern Black (and Left) radicals simply want to destroy it altogether. And unfortunately, the eight years of President Obama merely poured a eight-years worth of acid down into the cracks that were already there.
