Tuesday, February 18, 2025

Clarksville Now is reporting that an elementary school at Fort Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne Division, is removing books from its library in response to a Trump executive order. Clarksville Now reported it received a copy a letter sent to school administrators from the Department of Defense Education Activity that lays out several directives to comply with the U.S. President's order which includes banning the promotion of "monthly cultural observations."

Way to go, MAGA!

You people never disappoint.

Ignorance is bliss.

It's also been shortening your lives.

"This is our President ensuring the First Amendment is enforced, protected, and works!" - the usual clueless MAGAts.

Can't have the truth taught to anyone so they'll scrub our true history. Whitewashing it if you will.

DoD making life safe for Boaz again. Hopefully the elementary school library will continue to make the Daily Mail available.

All it really means is that when we throw these assh***s out there will be quite a bit of work to do returning America to sanity but we will and I will enjoy the total sicial defeat of MAGAs, their hatred, their raxism, their homophobia, their transphobia, their zenophobia! America will have a wonderful, unifying celebration because ignorance will no longer be a virtue in America! I almost hope Trump tries to get the Supreme Court because, hopreully, Barrack Obama would do the same thing and totally humiliate Trump with the biggest landslide in history!

Now this is just a bridge too far...

People really need to read what the philosopher George Santayana had to say about those who refuse to acknowledge history.

Trumpf isn't just marginalizing people of color in America and the world, he is invalidating them. The paratroopers of the 101st Airborne Division are called the "Screaming Eagles." The eagle should be screaming.

Back in the 80s in Atlanta, I used to listen on Saturday afternoon AM radio to Farrakhan followed by Rev. Ike. Great entertainment.

The brothers in the suits and bowties at one particular intersection were always baffled when I stopped and waved them over so I could buy three-month-old issues of The Final Call.
