The Minnesota Black Militia.

 Like everyone, I keep seeing images of black men and women walking around with firearms in tactical vests and looking intimidating. Recently I saw pictures of them at a funeral and found this a bit absurd, so I thought I would read into it. 
 I want to be clear, I think walking around with a firearm exposed is asinine; well unless you are out hunting/outdoors and ran in to grab some gas, etc and left your pistol in your holster. 
For those not from Montana where we are very laid back in this regard, it's perfectly normal, with that said I still largely do not support open carry. 
With that said there is definitely a white Supremacist movement trying to start a race war and I feel that minorities especially have to take it upon themselves to be properly armed and trained. 
What is interesting is the approach this "Militia" group in Minnesota is pursuing. 

First, they want to be clear they are a buffer, ok fair enough not sure what the difference is yet. 

Second, they wanted to protect businesses from looting vandalism, ok same shit different story. 

Third they want to be clear they are fathers, sons, uncles, professionals and business owners. Ok now I am listening to a little more. 

Fourth, they are having a meet and greet with the community to get to know and shed the scary image. 
Eh, so does the Hells Angles so that means little. 

Sixth; They want to work with, not against police, again, same story. 


Seventh; Now this is where it gets interesting, they are actually seeing psychologists, wait, what?

Now this is something new and suggests a new kind of seriousness in what they are doing and a level of professionalism. I still do not want armed Militia on the streets but apparently, this will be the new America. Or maybe not, remember the Black Panthers were an armed response to police/government brutality in the 60s, old Ronald Reagan then Governor was quick to pass open carry laws restricting them. With tensions at a high and police as well as civilians being shot, I get it. 

I am not sure what their training background is, but I hope they get proper firearms training as well, perhaps some already do. I do know the short guy with the Krimkov style AK is not going to have a stable shooting platform, so I have trouble taking him seriously beyond the presence he is trying to convey. 


Full interview with their leader can be found here, I would encourage you to read.

Here we go again, Trump attacks America's favorite passtime, Baseball.

 I have to say never in my life have I heard a President degrade America in my lifetime so. 
In fact, having to date read at least the annotated Biography of over 30 US Presidents, I have never heard of a President attacking and degrading American Institutions and Pastimes before. 
He spent his two-year Presidential Campaign attacking a Kneeling Negro in the NFL, followed by his encouragement to boycott of football. Cause you know that scary Negro doing unamerican things. 
He attacked our automotive industries, cities, neighborhoods and of course basketball. 
He stooped to all time low's attacking loser POWs, but his supporters cheered.
He spent his first year hiding from the rain and calling soldiers in WW1 Losers, while it's the one thing not on tape considering his disdain for the common man and those serving, this is hardly surprising. 
What you say? Trump loves servicemen and women? Sure, he loves anyone willing to do his bidding, but not enough to serve himself, nor to have his boys sign up for selective service. In fact they had to sign a contract that if they did, they would be disowned. 
Then of course he bad-mouthed every living President and trashed most of our dead ones too. 
Even the cherished Abraham Lincoln trump proudly proclaimed, was beneath General Lee. 
During the Pandemic it was all about him and per his entire life, lie, deflect responsibility and degrade. 
Now he takes on baseball as they made a moral business decision to pull out of Georgia for the all star game do to Georgias recent voter suppression law. 
Good for them. 
It's sad we have to wait for America's corporations to be the beacon of Humanity, god knows it left the GOP about 20 years ago, stampeding to everything it always proclaimed to have stood against. 

I have no doubt if Trump runs in 2024, his supporters which apparently hate America with their every fiber, will line up to support him and his hate. 
I don't get it, he is everything they detest, everything we all detest but there they are, cheering for their own downfall and the demolition of their supposed beloved country.
