Young women (not all) have been thrown off balance by manipulators - faux feminists, Greens and other communists - who have made them feel dissatisfied with their their femininity. Hopefully, the women already enjoying success in their lives will be exemplars of what women can do without hating men and blaming men when there is a hiccup in their progress.

Thank's mhaze for the correction. I can see 'Julia' shouting down the Big Brother traitor 'Goldstein'. Hopefully some within the Marxist/ Woke are Julia's. Kudos.

Maybe 'Civil War'.
- I could see the MAGA supporters taking matters into their own hands if Trumps brains had've been splattered all over the place.
Civil war would be a horrible outcome, many innocent people would be caught up in it.
But it would probably not be a bad outcome for the rest of the world.
- Better America sheds the blood of it's own than foreigners.

This may have set things in motion already to be honest.
I won't be surprised if there are further attempts on his life.
And I bet there are millions of Trump supporters who are right now considering what they would've done had he actually been assassinated.

What's the bet gun and ammunition sales are up since yesterday?

Dear Vince (the author),

.

According to Trump, “People crossing the U.S.-Mexico border are coming in as terrorists. Many, many terrorists are coming in. People crossing the border are from “mental institutions” and “insane asylums. South and Central Americans are sending all of their criminals and their prisoners and their gangs into our country”.

Trump was shot on Saturday 13 July by a 20-year-old white American from Bethel Park in Pennsylvania. He was a registered Republican and graduated in 2022 from Bethel Park High School with a $500 prize for maths and science.

His name was Thomas Matthew Crooks. He was shot dead by law enforcement snipers.

The name Crooks reminds me of John Steinbeck’s “Of Mice and Men” – a story about loneliness, friendship, and the American dream. Here is an excerpt :
.

Crooks stood up from his bunk and faced her. "I had enough," he said coldly. "You got no rights comin' in a colored man's room. You got no rights messing around in here at all. Now you jus' get out, an' get out quick. If you don't, I'm gonna ast the boss not to ever let you come in the barn no more."

She turned on him in scorn. "Listen, Nig(g)er," she said. "You know what I can do to you if you open. your trap?"

Crooks stared hopelessly at her, and then he sat down on his bunk and drew into himself.

She closed on him. "You know what I could do?"

Crooks seemed to grow smaller, and he pressed himself against the wall. "Yes, ma'am."

"Well, you keep your place then, Nig(g)er. I could get you strung up on a tree so easy it ain't even funny."

.

Crooks had reduced himself to nothing. There was no personality, no ego-nothing to arouse either like or dislike. He said, "Yes, ma'am," and his voice was toneless.

For a moment she stood over him. as though waiting for him to move so that she could whip at him again; but Crooks sat perfectly still, his eyes averted, everything that might be hurt drawn in.

Crooks avoided the whole subject now. "Maybe you guys better go," he said. "I ain't sure I want you in here no more. A colored man got to have some rights even if he don't like 'em."

Candy said, "That bitch didn't ought to of said that to you."

"It wasn't nothing," Crooks said dully. "You guys comin' in an' settin' made me forget. What she says is true."
