Shouldn't that actually be the Second American Revolution ??  =D

Technically the American "Revolution" was a civil war and not a revolution since the central government wasn't overthrown.
What happened in France, Russia, and Iran were revolutions.
But where you draw the line is admittedly fuzzy and arguments can be made either way. I blame the English........language.

The CSA thought they were fighting the Second American Revolution.

It didn't work out that way.

That CVS has apparently now shut down due to the losses. And that creates another under/unserved "desert" in underprivileged communities, and it should be a crime that companies are allowed to do this!

The worst horror of late stage capitalism is the number of people who repeatedly use the phrase late stage capitalism.

The Department of Veteran Affairs has rescinded a memo banning the iconic J-V Day Times Square kiss photo from its buildings.

VA Secretary Denis McDonough was forced to deny the photo's ban after a leaked memo signed by undersecretary RimaAnn O. Nelson began making the rounds online.

'Let me be clear: This image is not banned from VA facilities - and we will keep it in VA facilities,' McDonough said on Twitter.

When pressed by DailyMail.com, the VA admitted the memo was sent out late last month but had since been rescinded.

The memo instructed employees to 'promptly remove' the image and replace it with one deemed less offensive.

Glad he stood his ground but for how long?

Apparently if your car is carjacked in DC you're on the hook for any tickets the lowlifes got while driving your car + towing and storage fees to get it back.

Quote
    Terrell then went to the impound lot to retrieve her family's stolen SUV. Even though she could see her car from the sidewalk, she still couldn't drive it home after she learned that the city charged her more than $2,000 to cover the cost of towing and storage. To make matters worse, the thieves had also accrued at least one ticket on the city's traffic cameras — a ticket that was ultimately assessed against Terrell's family.

    "I can't catch a break, but this time around I'm just determined to not give up," she said. Terrell reached out to the city, which eventually agreed to reduce some of the charges.

A British man was just sentenced to two years in prison for "hate speech " stickers:

Quote
A British man has been sentenced to two years in prison on charges of inciting racial hatred for creating an online library of downloadable anti-immigration stickers. One of the stickers read "We will be a minority in our homeland by 2066." Others say "It's okay to be white."

Today is apparently National Reading Day, and of all the books written over the last 1000 years that they had to choose from, this is the book the Kansas City Mayor chose:

Anti-Censorship Bookshop Took 3 Days to Start Censoring Books

Ru Paul started an online bookstore that he said would sell books from every viewpoint. 3 days later, they've dropped some "offensive" titles, and they're exactly the ones you'd expect.

It's not censorship if it's protecting children from right wing ideas. Now come on girls and get those penises out, the children will be here soon for story time.

And more trannies:

A woman is arrested and convicted by a Portland, OR jury for the hate crime of misgendering a man entering the woman's bathroom. It appears the tranny was an activist, so don't tell me he wasn't looking to entrap someone. Yet the commie pinko hippie Birkenstock wearing Portland jury went right along with it, and an innocent woman's life is ruined for calling a guy in a dress a male.

The prosecution repeatedly brought attention to the misgendering during the trial to argue that it was a second-degree bias crime.

Did they say what the punishment was?

That sad part of that is there were 12 idiots on the jury who seemed to think it was okay to convict the person.

That looks like a clear first amendment violation.

"Hate speech" is considered protected speech in the USA, if almost nowhere else.

One of the responses at the link:

Quote
In 2022, Biden’s DOJ gave Multnomah County $400,000 to seek out and prosecute more “hate crimes”.

The grant established a “specialized bias DDA”, and lays out an estimated quota on prosecuted hate crimes (10 in years 1-2, 15 in year 3, 20 in year 4)

If true, they're being paid to prosecute this kind of sh*t.

I'm hoping a lawyer picks up on this case, appeals and beats the crap out of the city.

Sounds like her viewpoint was a bit skewed before the rape and she retreated back into her leftist ideals afterward.
