THIS MAN JUST SAID THE PART NO ONE ELSE DARE SAY OUT LOUD
And whether or not you agree with everything he said, his argument is brutal:
Civil rights offered Black Americans such staggering moral authority because the injustice was real, inescapable and chilling.
But his point is that moral credibility CAN BE SPENT.
You cannot survive on the actions of your grandparents for eternity and ask that nobody judge what goes on in your neighbourhood today.
Then he draws the comparison that really sticks: East Asian Americans.
Exclusion. Forced labor. Internment. Racism.
But they did build businesses, have families, create communities, assimilate and prosper without wrapping grievance permanently around their identity.
And that is why the this argument is going to enrage some people.
But, he is not asking who had the bigger loss.
He is asking a much less comfortable question.
What did you BUILD, after America eventually opened up the door?
That one question makes all the difference in the world.
In this scene from Landman, oil company manager Tommy Norris (Billy Bob Thornton) visits his son Cooper (Jacob Lofland) in the hospital after Cooper is brutally attacked by fellow crew members in company housing. Joined by his ex-wife Angela and colleague Dale, Tommy vows to deal with the attackers, emphasizing that as general manager, he must step in when employees assault a coworker.
I joined the Army in 1987 because of what I believed it stood for. Honor. Character. Leaders who put the mission and their people first.
For a long time, most of them did. Then something changed. The wars got long, the bureaucracy got bigger, and too many at the top started treating the uniform like a career ladder instead of a calling. The troops paid the price while accountability stayed somewhere else.
I finally wrote about what I saw over those years and why the recent moves at the top were necessary.
If you served during those years, or if you’ve been watching what’s happening now, I’d like to hear what you think. Drop your thoughts below.
The fall of Portland, Oregon
Here are major retailers that left Portland over declining conditions due to Democrat policies from 2022–2026
- Nike Community Factory Store (Operated since 1984, 40 years)
Closed permanently because of 276 shoplifting reports in one year. They cited deteriorating public safety. Nike sent a letter to the mayor citing conditions
- Walmart (Both Portland Locations) 580 employees laid off
- Target (Three Stores) Reason: Explicitly cited organized retail crime and shoplifting
- REI Reason: Highest break-in rate in two decades; over $800,000 spent on extra security in 2022 (including multiple incidents, one with a vehicle through the doors on Black Friday)
- U.S. Bank (U.S. Bancorp Tower)
Announced it would not renew its long-term lease Building Sale: Sold in July 2025 for $45 million (down from $372 million in 2015 — ~88% value decline).
- Wells Fargo Announced plans to exit Portland
- Starbucks Closed at least 5–6 Portland locations in September 2025 alone.
- Nordstrom Rack (Downtown)

Jamie Dimon: "Immigration - What the hell are we doing? The bottom 20% of our population, their wages didn't go up for 20 years. They're dying 7 years younger… Their schools don't work… [Americans] should be getting sick of it."
A state supported grocery store that had to close because of rampant unchecked crime in the area is SUING THE CITY for not doing something about crime.
Government sucks at running business.

Do average Americans understand just how much GWOT veterans hate Iran?
Do average Americans understand that basically every GWOT veteran knows comrades in arms who were killed or maimed by Iran?
Do average Americans understand that while GWOT veterans hate the idea of useless, endless wars, that most also support a rapid takedown of the Iranian regime that murdered their friends so long as the fight is led by decisive leaders who will allow us to win?
Do average Americans understand any of this?

In Colorado, TABOR was established to ensure that increased taxes and government growth require voter approval.
Senate Bill 42, however, would reclassify certain revenues in a way that removes them from those voter consent requirements — a technical fix on the surface that could have deep implications for fiscal accountability and taxpayer control.
This article from Complete Colorado explains how lawmakers may be bypassing voters on key fiscal decisions and what that could mean for Coloradans’ rights and wallets.
