Just ahead of Independence Day, Marvel Comics featured a new Captain America issue in which the Captain slams the American dream as a false promise. The first issue of the new series, “The United States of Captain America,” by writer Christopher Cantwell, was published on June 30, only four days before the country traditionally celebrates its day of independence from Great Britain. As the issue begins, Steve Rogers — the original Cap — grouses about how America is built on “lies.” “I’m loyal to nothing. Except the dream,” Rogers says early in the issue. “Here’s the thing about a dream, though. A dream isn’t real."

Someone should say, "Soldier, get you head on straight. A dream is an aspiration, a reaching out to a goal. Is there a human being on the face of the Earth that does reach out for that? The American Promise is that the Government won't stand in the way, as every government has in the past, no matter how benevolent or tyranical. If America doesn't live up to its promise then take a long careful look at those who make the rules. And do something about that.

The American Dream is real. The problem is that many of those living here and coming here don't want to work towards it. They expect it to be given. The American Dream is not free! It must be earned. Those that don't want to work for are the ones destroying it.

When you’re a greedy dim you’ve gotta have not only a personal jet but the biggest personal jet. The biggest house, second house and perhaps additional houses. You must be seen as deeply caring about all things or paint people who don’t see you that way as racists and deplorable. That particular version of “dream” is a lie. But it isn’t the dream of healthy Americans.

Now we are treated to words of wisdom from a comic book character made up by an America hating liberal artist. I'll pass on that advice Captain America stands for nothing except the voice of a snowflake liberal.

So much for comic super hero characters. It wasn't long ago that DC had Superman deny that he stood for "Truth, Justice, and the American Way"

Like most late boomers and gen-x-ers, I enjoyed reading and collecting Marvel Comics as a boy. I may be biased, but Marvel was way more appealing with Stan’s hard-edged creative approach than DC Comics and their limp-wristed ‘Superfriends’. Stan Lee must be spinning in his grave over this woke infestation of his legacy.

This is painful to read and to respond to. Like #10 an #11, I grew up with Marvel heroes in the age of Stan Lee. In those days, the stories and the characters were unabashedly pro-American. The creators had seen the face of tyranny and would have none of it. The American way of life centers on the ability to change one's circumstances. The people of North Korea cannot do this. Neither can the people of Venezuela, Cuba, or China, nor most of Africa, Central America, and the Middle East. If the propagandists putting words in Captain America's mouth are that dissatisfied with the American dream, the world offers plenty of other choices. Let them send Steve Rogers there, with a new uniform and name, and show us how he fares. And show us how may subjects in those nations, of all colors, are fleeing to America. My country is real. Marvel is not. Good-bye.

Venezuela to Cut Six Zeroes Off Bolivar
to Simplify Transactions

Posted by OhioNick 7/6/2021 1:56:50 AM Post Reply
Venezuela is preparing to once again lop off zeroes from the national currency in an attempt to simplify daily transactions which sometimes barely fit on a calculator or require swiping cards multiple times to complete a purchase. The central bank is planning to slash six zeroes from the bolivar as early as August after previous attempts to issue larger-denomination bills failed to resolve problems created by endemic inflation. [SNIP] That means one dollar would fetch 3.2 bolivars instead of 3,219,000 at present. Venezuela last carried out a “redenomination” of the bolivar in 2018 and in March began printing a 1 million-bolivar note, the largest in the country’s history.

Several women on the US soccer team on Monday turned away from the US flag as 98-year-old WWII veteran Pete DuPré played the national anthem on a harmonica. The US Women’s soccer team is playing against Mexico in East Hartford, Connecticut in a pre-Olympic sendoff game before heading to Japan. These women should not be allowed to represent the US at the Olympics. ESPN showed the women disrespecting the US flag and the veteran, but the USWNT was careful not to show the women up close.

Amazon's top monster, Jeff Bezos, is going into space. Selling out America's retail economy to China while destroying most domestic retail deserves a mistress and a well-earned break. While his ex-wife spends Amazon billions on black nationalist groups, Bezos is stepping down as CEO to live out his mid-life crisis while wrecking what's left of the planet. Meet Amazon's radical new CEO, Andy Jassy. [SNIP] Jassy falsely accused police departments of "murdering black people", supported illegal aliens, and made the decision to shut down Parler. His wife is a Bernie Sanders donor. The incoming Big Tech CEO has vowed to focus the company on “diversity and more inclusion.”

Henry Winkler was caught in a Twitter controversy on Saturday after expressing the controversial opinion that it would take a cataclysmic event to unite a country divided by politics and social issues. The Happy Days alum, 75, tweeted: 'We are [so] divided as a country .. only a cataclysmic [event], that makes us depend on one another again, can bring us back together.' The New York City native faced a hailstorm of criticism pointing to the COVID-19 pandemic, the September 11, 2001 attack, and other major events to rebut the Emmy-winning actor's point of view.

Hunter Biden, who spent thousands of dollars on prostitutes across the nation, proposed a plan for them to unionize in a 2019 conversation that was on his leaked hard drive. The president’s son also asserted that he has been “telling strippers for 25 years that they should unionize.” In a March 2, 2019, conversation with an employee from Los Angeles’s Chateau Marmont, obtained by the Washington Examiner, Biden said prostitutes need to organize more. “You organize without even organizing in any traditional way,” Biden said. [SNIP] Whomever does this first will be running the largest union in the country.”

Biden said getting vaccinated is “the most patriotic thing you can do” – no wonder why nobody watch his speech.

Breaking news alert: National Democrats are suddenly worried about the rise of violent crime. We know this because they’re blaming the bloodshed on Republicans. The previous strategy, meaning before Monday, was a mix of denial and excuse-making, but it wasn’t working. How could it when thousands of people are getting shot and murdered, mostly in cities run by Democrats? Something had to give, and White House press secretary Jen Psaki tipped the new strategy when she concocted the notion that it’s Republicans who actually support defunding the police. Her fatuous attempt to flip reality on its head relied on GOP resistance to another multitrillion-dollar Biden administration boondoggle.

The Acting House Sergeant at Arms appeared before a House committee and appears to have named Ashli Babbitt’s shooter. Timothy Blodgett, in an exchange with Rep. Herrera-Buetler during a hearing on Jan. 6 that appeared on C-SPAN, seems to have casually dropped the name. [SNIP] It is interesting that Blodgett names an “Officer Byrd” in the context of Ashli Babbitt’s shooting. An African-American Lieutenant Mike Byrd was reported by Roll Call as having once left his service weapon in a bathroom in 2019. “A U.S. Capitol Police lieutenant left his service weapon in a bathroom Monday night and the unattended gun was discovered later by another Capitol Police officer,” Roll Call reported.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said the Biden administration hasn’t provided an explanation for canceling the massive fireworks display at Mount Rushmore. President Donald Trump, she said, brought back the Mount Rushmore fireworks display after it was rescinded under the Obama administration, which cited environmental concerns at the time. “We had the fireworks at Mount Rushmore for years,” Noem, a Republican, told Fox News last week. “It wasn’t until President Obama came into office that they took it away.” Noem, who filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration, suggested that “political reasons” were behind the move to not permit the display.

The England players were tonight greeted with a cacophony of boos, whistles and cheers as they took the knee before kick-off in the quarter finals of Euro 2020. Ukraine stayed on their feet as England continued with the Black Lives Matter gesture ahead of the quarter final clash at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Some speculated online that the crowd could have been booing Ukraine for refusing to kneel, but boos have thundered from Three Lions fans at every game thus far, irrespective of whether or not the opposition has joined England in kneeling. The disapproval for the gesture comes despite the repeated pleas of manager Gareth Southgate and the Football Association.

When Catherine the Great of Russia traveled in the late 18th-century, her former lover, Grigory Potemkin, would travel ahead of her and build hasty facades along the main thoroughfares in impoverished, bedraggled villages to create the impression of a prosperous nation. Thus, a Potemkin village is a fake that artificially puffs up a leader’s competence and popularity. Two recent videos, one of Biden’s fans turning out to greet him in Michigan and another of Trump’s fans turning out for him in Florida, show that Biden is a Potemkin president. It’s all fake.

This is what can be described as “scientism” and NOT “science.” There is absolutely no proof to support this theory. In fact, in cities like St. Louis and New York City, minorities shoot off guns on New Year’s Eve and the 4th of July. This is much more dangerous than sniffing fireworks smoke for a night.

President Biden on Tuesday will outline steps to persuade Americans to get vaccinated as fast-moving variants threaten his COVID-19 fight, launching “door to door” efforts in neighborhoods and making sure the shots are available in doctors’ offices. The initiative will spotlight vaccines in pediatricians’ offices so patients ages 12 to 18 can get immunized ahead of the school year and fall sports, according to a White House official. Mr. Biden also will detail efforts to get the shots into workplaces, so vaccination is more convenient.(Snip)Mr. Biden is navigating a duality of his own, celebrating his administration’s progress in the fight against the pandemic
