Gun Violence Is a Result
of Our Broken Culture

Original Article

It's shameful that it took so long to declare a national holiday to commemorate the end of slavery in the United States. But the nation's first official Juneteenth holiday weekend got off to an inauspicious start, to say the very least. CNN reported gun violence in multiple locations, including my own small town of Granger, Indiana. My teenage son works at the family-owned grocery store in the same little shopping center where five people were shot (one fatally) at a "Juneteenth Summer Bash" party held at a tavern.

Comments:

1. When is someone going to be honest enough to state that most gun murders are committed by blacks born out of wedlock? 2. Since when has "b@st@rd" - - a common word which has existed as long as there has been an English language - - become a taboo word - - even at Lucianne.com? 3. Why are articles on violence exclusively focused on gun violence? Aren't rape, battery, and muggings any longer considered to be violent?

Take blacks, goat humpers and illegals out of the violent crime statistics, and the US has violent crime rates that are akin to Switzerland. Everyone knows where the problems lie; they simply refuse to address it.

To marry the words "gun" and "violence" is to concede Leftist framing and concede defeat before the argument even begins. How have conservative commentators not learned this, yet? Violence is violence. To engage in a narrow discussion of a singular tool of violence is absurd.

FTA: "The State of Health for Blacks in Chicago" -- which shows that the homicide rate for Blacks in the city is nine times higher than it is for non-Black residents. There is the heart of the matter, a totally dysfunctional, ultra violent inner city black "culture".

First, there is NO SUCH THING as "gun" violence. There is only human violence, whether it's guns, knives, cars, hammers, or any other handy tool. Second, every time we.say "the problem is..." we are tugging on one string in the universally BIGGEST yarn ball, and all that tugging just distorts that yarn ball, not fix it. There is no "problem". There is a constellation of problems, some new, some old, some historical, some ideological. We can't just pick out our favorite problem and think we've solved anything. If there's anything I've realized over the last 70 some years, it's that we've lost our way. No discipline. No moral compass. No education. Money is power and there's never enough. No roles. No family. "Flipping" houses, not living in them or raising a family in them. Deep state. The military-industrial complex,. Smartphones in the hands of 7 year olds. The internet for these "smartphones" to run on. I could continue for hours. But I will say, sex is only the tail on this dog.

It's not shameful because some made up holiday has taken this long to be established. What's shameful is the total lack of knowledge by the black inner city culture that hundreds of thousands of white men died to free their relatives over a 150 years ago. What's shameful, is that the black culture in general still votes for the same political party that enslaved their relatives in the first place. What's shameful is that blacks killing each other at record rates for some of the dumbest things is more deadly than anything a slave owner ever did to their slaves. Slaves were expensive, and only wealthy people could afford them. As such, beating and injuring, and even killing a slave was not in the best interest of the slave owner's business.

The first line of the article indicates to me the this guy is a scaredy cat. The whole country isn't "broken." We're not "all to blame." My sweet little neighborhood is safe and quiet. No kids loitering on the street at night, hooting at frightened adults hurrying home from shopping. (The kids are inside, prepping their homework or preparing to go to bed.). During the day, moms and dads together, walking with the kids. No gunshots as part of the ambient environment. The broken-ness is localized. Guns don't kill -- certain people do. You want to identify problems? Name who it is whose culture is broken. It ain't mine. Then we'll have an intelligent "discussion."

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) unloaded on Democrat President Joe Biden in a letter sent to Republican lawmakers on Sunday, warning that the Democrats’ policies were doing significant harm to the country. McCarthy’s letter started off by noting that the Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed was paying off big time as communities across the country come back to life following the coronavirus pandemic, which killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and devastated the economies of many states.
Was mask-wearing pointless after all?

Did we ever need masks? It’s a touchy, complex question. People may not want to learn that millions of us covered our faces for 15 months for no good reason after all. But asking the questions is exactly what we must do. Last week, a trove of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails were released to the public. In a Feb. 5, 2020, email to a Team Obama health official, the ­virus guru wrote that masks were for infected people, and that “the typical mask you buy in a drug store is not really effective in keeping out the virus, which is small enough to pass through the material.”

There is still life in a 2020 election fraud lawsuit in northern Michigan. Attorneys for Antrim County and Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson are objecting to a proposed order from Matthew DePerno, the attorney for the plaintiff, filed after a judge rejected an effort last month to force a new audit of the results. In anticipation of an appeal, 13th Circuit Court Judge Kevin Elsenheimer said it was is his understanding that all other matters had been put on hold for the time being and noted the court "will take all pending motions under advisement."

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a law to officially end the country’s Open Skies Treaty with the U.S. less than two weeks before his meeting with President Biden in Geneva. Last month, the Biden administration told Russia that it had no plans to rejoin the arms control pact that was abandoned during the Trump administration. (Biden, the candidate, called Trump’s move "short-sighted.") Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted last November, "America is more secure" after withdrawing from the 1992 treaty. "Russia remains in noncompliance with its obligations," he said, according to the Arms Control Associatio.

It’s the trollish MAGA slice of the caucus that’s championing this, but for once they have Pelosi at a disadvantage. Why, precisely, are House members still being asked to mask up on the floor? The CDC’s new guidance says that vaccinated people no longer need to wear masks, even indoors. According to CNN, every last Democrat in the House and Senate has been vaxxed. If everyone in the chamber unmasks, the only people who are at risk are unvaccinated Republicans.

The World Health Organization on Friday urged fully vaccinated people to continue to wear masks, social distance and practice other Covid-19 pandemic safety measures as the highly contagious delta variant spreads rapidly across the globe. “People cannot feel safe just because they had the two doses. They still need to protect themselves,” Dr. Mariangela Simao, WHO assistant director-general for access to medicines and health products, said during a news briefing from the agency’s Geneva headquarters. “Vaccine alone won’t stop community transmission,” Simao added. “People need to continue to use masks consistently, be in ventilated spaces, hand hygiene… the physical distance, avoid crowding.

Slaves were not happy people. We should not in any way glamorize slavery. We shouldn’t sanitize it. We have to tell the truth about what happened in 1619 and thereafter. That’s what it’s all about.

What will become of the useful idiots? 28 replies

As the Marxist revolution oozes forward, I occasionally wonder what will happen to the useful idiots when the commies seize absolute power in this once great Republic. I believe that most AT readers are familiar with the term, but for those who need a brief refresher, a useful idiot, as defined by Wikipedia, "is a derogatory term for a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically used by the cause's leaders." In my opinion, this definition can be applied to a majority of the young, brainwashed radicals who have no idea about the true history of Marxism

For two hundred forty years, American generals have not exactly been defined by adamant public advocacy for left-wing cultural dogma. Yet there appeared to be a great awakening at the Pentagon on Wednesday when Gen. Mark Milley, the highest-ranking military officer in the U.S. as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, testified at a House hearing. The Chairman vehemently defended the teaching of critical race theory at West Point and, referencing the January 6 Capitol riot, said, “it is important that we train and we understand ... and I want to understand white rage. And I'm white." In response to conservative criticisms
Kamala's 'Border Visit' Was Smoke and Mirrors,

Kamala Harris seems to be met with protesters wherever she goes. As we reported, she was met by protesters, when she went to Guatemala, telling her to “Go Home.” Now, as she visits El Paso, Texas, protesters are out there for her photo op in the area. But I’m thinking that wasn’t the photo op that she wanted. The Hispanic, Trump-supporting group of protesters also gifted her with a new nickname, “Que mala,” which would translate to “how mean,” or “how bad.” A great, short expression of “how bad” she and Joe Biden have been for the border — and for the country in general.

The vote was 33-15, with “no” votes coming from 12 white and three Latino aldermen. The ordinance calls for the renaming to happen immediately, but a

On November 19, 2019, Nathaniel Pinnock was shot and killed by officers of the Los Angeles Police Department. Pinnock, 22, had robbed an auto parts store in Hollywood while armed with a machete and was walking from the scene when officers arrived and confronted him. Despite the presence of several officers, Pinnock refused orders to stop.[snip] The case of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran who was shot and killed by a U.S Capitol Police officer during the so-called insurrection of Jan. 6, has gone largely unexamined, either in the media or among the self-professed experts who find fault in even the most clearly justifiable police shootings.
