A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

The crypto-Leninist waitress and member of Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is heaping praise on radical teens for punking Donald Trump’s Tulsa rally; flooding the Trump campaign with fake ticket reservations, producing an auditorium with a third of the seats left empty. Jubilant at the result, Cortez taunted Trump by saying, “[the teens] tricked you into believing a million people wanted your white supremacist open mic to pack an arena during COVID. Shout out to ZOOMERS. Y’all make me so proud.”

Please note: The U.S. President, Donald J. Trump, is not a white supremacist. Calling him one is a Leninist tactic, practiced by the enemies of the United States. It is the tactic of using fake anti-racism as cover to advocate the overthrow of the Constitution and (by implication) the capitalist system.

Cortez has always relied on communist-inspired code words, the communist perversion of language, and statements inimical to the United States and its founding documents (maligned as “systemically racist”). As a blatant agitator and subversive, Cortez should be arrested and tried under 18 U.S. Code, Chapter 115, on a charge of treason.

§2381. Treason — Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)

Cortez’s malicious seconding of the disruption of the President’s rally, calling the president and (by implication) his supporters “white supremacists,” is in itself a conscious attempt to divide the country by race, to turn the non-white citizens of the country against the white citizens, as part of a divide-and-conquer strategy. If this strategy succeeds, there will be a bloodbath in this country. As someone attempting to instigate a bloodbath — using her position in Congress as a platform — she ought to be interrogated as one who likely possesses wider knowledge of a larger conspiracy. It would be perfectly logical, under the circumstances, to investigate her for misprision of treason, outlined below:

§2382. Misprision of treason — Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(H), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

Cortez is not alone in her subversive activities, but as a telegenic member of Congress she is the single-most conspicuous anti-American agitator of today. Her rhetoric is an incitement to insurrection, however subtle or indirect. She is full of politically correct buzzwords. She supports the “climate change” agenda, she openly advocates socialism. She talks of “the movement,” and “systemic change.” Make no mistake, these are code words for a Marxist revolution. Therefore, she should be investigated for inciting insurrection:

§2383. Rebellion or insurrection — Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States. (June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 808; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(1)(L), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2147.)

Cortez is a threat to liberty, and a menace to public order. She is the political poster-girl for “changing” America into a Soviet Republic. The radicalism she advocates is antithetical to our political system, to our traditions of fair play and civility.

The Founding Fathers warned against dangerous political agitators, like Cortez. They warned against “factions,” and persons who would attempt to divide the country. In his Farewell Address, President George Washington wrote:

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize.

Washington then warned “that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken” American national unity. Since unity is our “fortress,” said Washington, it will be “covertly and insidiously” undermined by hostile foreign powers. Therefore, we should unflaggingly regard unity as “the palladium” of our “political safety and prosperity,” guarding it with jealous anxiety….” We must, he added, frown “upon the first dawning of every attempt to alienate any portion of our country from the rest, or to enfeeble the sacred ties which now link together the various parts.”

Washington warned of those who would divide America by misrepresenting the “opinions and aims” of one part of the country in order to alienate another part of the country. This is what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is doing when she calls President Trump a “white supremacist.” She is effectively misrepresenting the “opinions and aims” of Trump and his voters in the “red states,” attempting to alienate non-white Americans from white Americans. She thereby paves the way for the country’s breakup into hostile camps. About faction, Washington wrote:

It serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. Thus the policy and the will of one country are subjected to the policy and will of another.

Washington warned that internal divisions could, in the future, assist the machinations of hostile foreign powers. It is no accident that Cortez’s rhetoric stinks of Che Guevara’s Leninism — an ideological grounding shared by Beijing and Pyongyang. Now that buildings in American cities are damaged by the thousand, the police intimidated, and the president balked by his generals, Cortez pours fuel on the racial fire.

Washington was, indeed, a father to his country. He saw the danger of factional domination, “sharpened by the spirit of revenge … which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities,” Here is a “patriot” whose statues are now being pulled down — whose good name is smeared with the same rhetoric Cortez uses to smear Trump. In Portland, communist-inspired children burned an American flag, threw it onto Washington’s statue, and pulled the statue down. There was not a word of outrage from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In fact, I believe she despises Washington, and has contempt for patriotism. The Father of our country is the Devil for all unnatural, infanticidal, man-hating, succubi — of which Cortez and her “Squad” are the malum electi.

If the communists continue to pull down Washington’s statues around the country, there will be a fight. As for the vituperative language Cortez uses against the President, she had best be prepared for a full broadside of chain shot to her own mainmast and rigging. In the eyes of many Americans, she is a menace, and a public enemy who is working to destroy the country. Some of us can see, as plain as day, that she ought to be investigated, arrested, indicted and convicted of treason, misprision of treason, and incitement to insurrection. If she is not apprehended in the course of her revolutionary career, innocent lives will be lost needlessly.

Cortez may think it child’s play and good fun to call the President a “white supremacist”; yet in response, many of us know what mischief she is up to and what it will cost us all. You want to play this dangerous game, Ms. Cortez? It’s a two-way street. And what is more, your Chinese and Cuban friends aren’t to be relied on.

25 thoughts on “The Treason of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

  1. Thank you Jeff. AOC’s weakness is her pride, and hubris and that her ideas are not her own. But she is one among this multi-headed hydra exalting themselves over the people of the nation being supported by powers and monies far above her–she is not invincible especially when God is at work. It is of major interest that George Washington received a vision seemingly from the Lord about what would come to America in its future days as Union was still being born. As is inscribed into the Congressional books he received this supernatural vision/visitation in his war tent. Now lots of people will question was this real, was this made up by a cult of Washington worshippers, and if it was real, was this a heavenly warning or something being manipulated by others. My feeling is that it was real and a warning to the nation as much has proven to have been true by history. In the vision, the language is clearly from his day, where the “Union is saved” by a great light dispelling the darkness. We dont think of the idea of “Union” any more, because we have lost most aspects of what made it so unique in history. Prayer is our weapon and we must take hold of Jesus in the day of our severe shaking which we are in. The Lord be with you!

  2. Since the New York Primary elections are being held today (Tuesday 23 June 20) we may by the end of the week know if Mini-Che (AOC) will even be on the ballot in November. Evidently, her constituents are very unhappy with her, and she has several others running against her. Of course, this is also strongly held Dhimmicrat territory, and the long history of New York city election fraud could make sure that the results wanted are the results delivered.
    As correct as you are about the Treason by Mini-Che and many other politicians in the country, the Feds seem to be very slow at ever filing such charges against anyone, including 60s radicals like Tom Hayden, Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers, Mark Rudd, Bernadine Dohrn, and many others. Why that has been a problem I do not know. I suppose that the negative propaganda against the Vietnam war had a lot to do with it, even though we were also in the middle of the Cold War at the same time.
    It would be very good to seen action taken on many of these people, as it would send the proper message to all others doing or planning the same actions.

  3. Weather you like it or not you will either gird your loins and fight the threatening race war or you are doomed. The Communists will keep fighting while your hands are tied with PC rubbish – already your police are demoralized, the thousands of American Patriots armed to the teeth will not be able to do anything for fear of arrest, some of your generals have already shown that they will side with the insurrectionists et al. You might as well take the bull by the horns and clean up. Your president should form a war council consisting of patriotic Americans and do what needs to be done. Those generals that went against their commander-in-chief should be arrested, the same goes for the useful idiots who tried to impeach the President, the lying main stream media should be silenced, the coup plotters should be arrested and the lunatic billionaires funding the destruction of Western Christendom should be stripped of their assets and jailed. It sounds terrible I know but how else can this juggernaut be stopped? You have to play by the rules and the Communists never do.

  4. As I read your article, Benjamin Gitlow came to mind! I’m thinking of the “bad tendency” principle outlined in Gitlow v. New York! Eventually, it seems to me, AOC’s words will be sucked up by enough ignorant loons, and horrible violence will occur.

    I am so impressed with your work! Keep it up!

  5. My terrifying five-day stay inside Seattle’s cop-free CHAZ
    https://nypost.com/2020/06/20/my-terrifying-5-day-stay-inside-seattles-autonomous-zone/

    By Andy Ngo

    June 20, 2020 | 1:32pm

    On June 8, Seattle police frantically loaded what they could from the East Precinct into trucks and cars. Within hours, they boarded up and abandoned the station. That night, left-wing protesters from Black Lives Matter and Antifa declared ownership of the six-block neighborhood in the middle of the Pacific Northwest’s largest city. They named their new territory the “Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone,” or CHAZ. No laws or rules applied here except for one: “No cops allowed.”

    During five undercover days and nights in the zone, I witnessed a continuing experiment in anarchy, chaos and brute-force criminality. In order to avoid being exposed as a journalist — several reporters have been barred or expelled — I slept and showered outside the zone. (Those inside have no showers but they do have portable bathrooms.) I took meals, and most of my water breaks, elsewhere because I was reluctant to remove my mask and risk being recognized. Every day I entered the zone twice through its semi-porous borders — once in the early afternoon, and again after sundown, staying until the wee hours.

    Crime has surged inside and outside the zone.

    On Saturday morning, a shooting erupted that left at least one person dead and another injured near a border checkpoint. Police were reportedly met with resistance when they tried to get to the victims, who apparently were then taken in private cars to the hospital. Cops made it into the zone to gather shell casings and evidence, some reports said, as police in riot gear stood at the border.

    On Thursday, police arrested Robert James after he left the CHAZ. He is accused of sexually assaulting a deaf woman who was lured inside a tent. The same day, former city council candidate Isaiah Willoughby was arrested on suspicion of starting the arson attack on the East Precinct on June 12.

    Police Chief Carmen Best has stated that police response times to 911 calls in the surrounding area have “more than tripled” because the force is down a station.

    “Emergency calls, which often means somebody’s being assaulted, sometimes it’s a rape, sometimes it’s a robbery, but something bad is happening if it’s a top priority call, and we’re not able to get there,” she has said.

    Various “Occupy”-type protests have occurred across the US since the original occupation near Wall Street in 2011. But the CHAZ is nothing like the mostly peaceful tent city in privately owned Zuccotti Park that was corralled and closely monitored by the NYPD.

    CHAZ occupants, ranging from several hundred to 10,000, depending on the day, with many openly armed, control all of the Capitol Hill neighborhood near downtown. The neighborhood is the heart of Seattle’s gay and counter-culture district, and is densely filled with businesses and apartment buildings. The CHAZ now claims all of it.

    Before the takeover, violent clashes between rioters and police defending the East Precinct resulted in dozens of officers injured by rocks and other projectiles. Protesters and rioters complained of police brutality, leading Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan and Best to ban cops from using tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bangs for 30 days.

    The CHAZ is having reverberating effects elsewhere. In the early hours of Thursday, Antifa and other left-wing protesters established an “autonomous zone” in downtown Portland, Ore. They stole city and business property to build a wall. At least one protester was seen carrying a rifle. The area was later cleared by police, but far-left activists are determined to try again. Protesters in Nashville and other cities have attempted to recreate their own “autonomous zones” modeled after the CHAZ, but have so far been stopped by law enforcement.

    In Seattle, as soon as police evacuated from the station nearly two weeks ago, masked protesters stole city property — barricades, fencing and more — to create makeshift barriers. These barriers became the official border checkpoints in and out of the CHAZ. They were later fortified with additional layers of security: more blockades and 24-hour guards. A large team of volunteers assembled to designate themselves “security” for the CHAZ. Many of them wear patches signaling they’re part of the Puget Sound John Brown Gun Club, a far-left militia-type organization named after the radical abolitionist. Last year, one of the group’s members carried out an armed attack on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Tacoma, Wash. Police said Willem van Spronsen tried to ignite the 500-gallon propane tank attached to the facility. He was killed by police.

    Despite the group’s link to violent extremism, its armed members were celebrated in the CHAZ for “protecting” the new denizens. The head of the CHAZ’s security is a short female named “Creature.” She and the rest of her team communicate with walkie-talkie devices and earpieces. Some of them openly carry rifles, handguns, batons or knives. Their operating base is in the open-air eating section of the Rancho Bravo Tacos Mexican restaurant. Signs posted all over their base declare: “NO PHOTOS. NO VIDEOS.” Another sign lists Venmo names for donations.

    Though the CHAZ claims to have no rules, it quickly developed a complex code of conduct that varied from zone to zone and even the time of the day. For example, those in the garden area, who are mostly white, need to make sure they do not “recolonize” the space.

    Mainstream media reports have focused on the “block party” atmosphere of the occupation, repeating a talking point from the Seattle mayor. She, along with Gov. Jay Inslee, a fellow Democrat, have gone to great lengths to emphasize the “peaceful” nature of the occupation. For media crews that arrive during the day, that is certainly what they will see. People have barbecues in the street. Many bring their children to make street art. People walk their dogs.

    But at night, a whole different side of the CHAZ emerges.

    Lacking agreed-upon leadership, those who have naturally risen to the top have done so with force or intimidation. For example, rapper Raz Simone, real name Solomon Simone, patrols the CHAZ on some nights with an armed entourage. Simone, originally from Georgia, has an arrest record for child cruelty and other charges. He usually conducts his patrols carrying a long semi-auto rifle and sidearm. Last weekend, a livestream recorded Simone handing another man a rifle from the trunk of a car.

    Not everyone in the CHAZ recognizes Simone’s police-like presence, but no one is willing to stand up to him and his group. There have been consequences for those perceived as challengers or threats. Independent Los Angeles-based journalist Kalen D’Ameida recorded Simone and his crew in the early hours of Monday. He was spotted by one of Simone’s men, who manhandled him and demanded he turn over his mobile device. Simone’s team chased D’Ameida and tried to drag him to the security tent. He escaped by hiding in a construction site outside the CHAZ until police responded to his 911 call.

    Those unfortunate enough to have homes or businesses within the CHAZ — an estimated 30,000 residents — have no say over their new overlords. Residents have discreetly voiced their concerns to local media. Gunshots and “screams of terror” at night have been reported. A resident of an apartment building came out twice to ask protesters to leave the alley where the entrance is. They brushed him off.

    Every business and property inside the CHAZ has been vandalized with graffiti. Most messages say some variation of “Black Lives Matter” or “George Floyd,” but other messages call for the murder of police. Most businesses are boarded up. “ACAB” — “All cops are bastards,” an Antifa slogan — is written over them.

    Businesses outside the CHAZ are also suffering. Last week, the Trader Joe’s in Capitol Hill announced it was closing immediately and indefinitely because of “safety and security concerns.” Then last Sunday night, around 100 angry protesters sprinted toward a nearby auto repair shop to “rescue” a comrade who had been detained. All it took to sic the mob on the business was one man yelling into a microphone inside the CHAZ. According to the police report, the store’s owner, John McDermott, stopped Richard Hanks after he allegedly broke into the business, stole property and tried to start a fire. The owner and his son said they called police “multiple times” but cops and firefighters never responded.

    Rioters from the CHAZ broke down the gate to the business lot and began rushing the owner. A large team of CHAZ volunteers successfully de-escalated the situation by forming a human chain where the fence once stood. It was one of the rare occasions the community was able to police itself. Private security for the business said they found a cache of weapons, including a rifle, hidden in a nearby bush.

    In the midst of the restlessness and drug abuse that arises in and around the CHAZ, acts of kindness and community support also flourish. Donations from outside have poured in every day, supplying the camp with multiple food and supply stations. The “No Cop Co-Op,” the largest supply booth, distributes raw meat and fresh vegetables. Next to the tents in Cal Anderson Park, denizens have started rudimentary “farms” to grow lettuce and herbs. One farm is only for “black and indigenous folks.” Those looking to make new friends can sit on one of the many sofas at the “Decolonization Conversation Cafe.” Free coffee is served.

    Left-wing political groups have capitalized on the opportunity to recruit new members. The Democratic Socialists of America features prominently in addition to the Seattle Revolutionary Socialists. But in the absence of any vetting, perhaps intentionally, extremists have also set up shop. One station that operates off and on distributes extremist anarchist-Communist agitprop — the political ideology of Antifa. In one manual titled, “Blockade, Occupy, Strike Back,” instructions show how to use human shields against police, and make rudimentary “bombs” using light bulbs and paint.

    Another booklet is titled “Against the Police and the Prison World They Maintain.” It features short essays on why police, capitalism and the state must be destroyed by any means necessary, including through violence. One section explains how the media are enemies used to “pacify” revolutionaries.

    “Our contempt for the media is inextricable from our hatred of this entire world,” the booklet reads. Attacks on journalists who are accused of not toeing the line have become commonplace. On Monday, a masked Antifa militant pointed me out to her comrades and tried to assemble a mob. I left before I could be injured. The following day, a Fox News crew was forced out of the zone.

    Knowing the danger journalists faced in the CHAZ, I tried to blend in by dressing in the “black bloc” uniform popularized by Antifa. I avoided speaking to people on the chance they would recognize my voice. When they viewed me as one of their own, they were incredibly kind. They offered me water and snacks throughout the day. Suspicious “outsiders,” on the other hand, were immediately tailed by security.

    Despite the pleas from those who live and work inside Capitol Hill for law and order to be restored, Seattle’s city council has determined that the CHAZ should continue. On Tuesday, the city even provided upgrades to the CHAZ, including street blockades that double as graffiti canvases, along with cleaning services and porta-potties.

    It is difficult to decipher what CHAZ occupants want. Each faction, whether liberal, Marxist or anarchist, has its own agenda. But one online manifesto posted on Medium demands no less than the abolishment of the criminal justice system.

    What will happen if demands aren’t met? Jaiden Grayson, a young black woman who has developed a large following in the CHAZ, told a filmmaker: “Respond to the demands of the people or prepare to be met with any means necessary. … It’s not even a warning. I’m letting people know what comes next.”
    _______________________________

    1. I spoke with a source this evening that alleges 5,000 weapons were offloaded from a Chinese ship, two years ago, in Seattle. This allegation was reported to Homeland Security at the time. It is common knowledge by those who circulate through certain circles that Marxists on the West Coast have been training for revolution, and have been ready for over a year. They will use guns. It’s part of their plan. They are highly organized.

      1. Likewise, in 2003 or 2004 (I’m going from memory) local news in the San Francisco bay area reported that the bill of lading for a container from China offloaded in Oakland differed from the 5000 AK-47s found inside. It was reported that only one in 50 containers were opened to check if the bill of lading matched what was inside a container. The story disappeared very quickly from the local news, even many locals didn’t notice it, and as far as I can tell, never picked up by national news.

        That only one in 50 containers were checked makes me ask, how many such containers got through and are now waiting in warehouses to be deployed? I did some consulting for some companies, was in their warehouses, and saw that there’s enough room even in fairly modest warehouses to hide a couple of 40 foot containers while leaving enough room for a legit front company to carry on its business.

  6. An excellent article which provides a certain basis through the citation of relevant statute to so put one’s Congressional Representatives and respective Senators on Notice as regards the crisis where they have a duty per their Oath of Office to make similar Notice to the Attorney General of the United States to act, and concurrent with full Congressional investigation such that proper remedies available to that body be exercised.

    Legal opinion upon this are welcome, though it would seem that members of the BAR are too often compromised by the nature of their franchise…hence the crisis we are presently in…

    Much thanks to Sidney Powell for being a lawyer willing to fight for what is right!

  7. After China announced their agreement and commitment to deescalation, the following has occurred:

    “The satellite images on Wednesday showed that Chinese troops have come back in larger numbers to the “Patrolling Point-14 (PP-14)” area in the Galwan Valley region, the site of the brutal skirmish on June 15. This time, PLA appears to have set up a large camp with gun positions at the site near the “Y-junction” of the Shyok and Galwan rivers, which is slightly over a kilometre below PP-14, a reference point that marks the Indian side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC).”

    This paragraph might disappear as it is a live thread on the Times of India, but here is the source for as long as it remains until new updates push it down and off the page:

    https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/india-china-border-dispute-live-updates/liveblog/76615857.cms

    It occurs to me that–or so it seems to me, based on my imperfect recollection–that China is usually violently vocal in their interactions with India and other countries during such occasions in the past, but nothing comes from it. This time, China keeps publicly placating India, telling them they do not desire war, and then “agreeing”–at least for the second time now–to leave an area, only to return immediately after with even larger numbers of troops.

    1. This is the “fight-fight, Talk-talk” pattern of Chinese diplomacy. Lenin used similar tactics during the Russian Civil War.

  8. I really dislike AOC, who is nothing but a hired actress (look it up), and the democratic party, as much as I dislike the republican party. But Trump is a white supremacist, I don’t understand how any reasonable person could argue differently at this point. As they say, if it walks like a duck, it’s a duck It might be largely an act, or his shtick as he himself likes to say, but what’s coming out of his mouth and his tweets (because that’s all there is), is racist as hell. Everybody knows it. Get over your hate for the other side and realize both party, including Trump, are not on our side. (Caveat, unless you’re not part of the bottom 90%, then good for you. )

    1. Trump is a white supremacist? You have no idea what you’re saying. Jefferson Davis was a White supremacist. Hitler was a white supremacist. Trump has never made any such declaration. Basically, you are calling him that because you don’t like or understand his policies. You have no real understanding.

      1. No, I’ve been around the block young man. Like I said, I agree with you on AOC, caught on to her immediately (did you look up the part about his being “hired” by the Justice democrats and Cenk Uygur and gang?), but you might want to look further into who is behind her. But Trump, who may have never outright stated he is a white sup, has fully acted the part, especially recently. If not practically, certainly symbolically. Why do you think the “real” white sups, KKK, etc., support him? Because he’s talking their tune. So as far as I’m concerned, he should be included with them. Actually, he’s more than a white sup, he a delusional madman who thinks he’s a superior being to everyone. So you know, that’s even worse.
        Appreciate the opportunity to comment and sorry to bother you, just saw your article linked somewhere else (congrats) and came here.

      2. Yes, I know about Cenk Uygur casting Cortez in the role. And she clearly believes in what she’s saying, even if she needs guidance in how to say it. I am bothered by the white supremacy accusation because it is clearly connected to a communist active measure related to “Critical Race Theory.” According to this theory white people who believe in freedom — in the free market —are “racist.” The communists, for example, work to recruit among minorities by bringing up the past — harping on slavery and the mistreatment of native people. They want the US border removed because by increasing the minority population they can extend this racial strategy of divide and conquer, destroying American culture and our political system along the way. And now it is working. The country may soon be destroyed on account of it, and you do not seem to understand the grave danger you are courting. Whatever the problems with Trump, other politicians appear ready to surrender our symbols and freedom. Already there are calls to disarm our country altogether. Surely, this is a transparent attempt to hand the world over to communist China and Russia. If we disarm, they will rule the world with their nuclear weapon dominance. To go along with this game, to be so readily fooled into committing national suicide, makes me wonder where everyone’s common sense has gone. The Chinese communists are the most ruthless people on Earth. Just ask Tibet.

      3. Sounds like the fifities all over again, where’s Joe McCarthy when you need him. Well, appreciate your concern for communism, but I’m no communist, neither are alot of people I know (we’re not democrats either), and we all believe Trump is a racist. Doesn’t mean we want the monuments to come down, or the borders to open, or whatever, it means we don’t like racists. Racism is inherently pure ignorance. Did you see Trump’s latest tweet, “white power”. Ya, he’s no racist, but he’s trying awful hard.
