31. History Repeats! Wait for it!

Feb 2017


We need a statement of non-aggression from law enforcement and all members of the military.

The anti Vietnam protests were peaceful. Thanks to the NRA, this one may not be.

The government really needs to think about millions of Americans 'Standing Our Ground'!

Think ISIS ambushes are bad? America was won by guerrilla tactics against the British.

tRumpass does not want to play this game!
