One of the reasons I love living in Vegas is the ability to reach the middle of nowhere in about 30 minutes. It's really a strange, fascinating State outside of the City. You can go LONG stretches without seeing a single sign of civilization(unless you count relics of the silver rush). Reno/Washoe leans right, but Clark County is becoming larger and further left by the year. Considering CC is where 75% of the population resides, I don't think it will be considered a swing state going forward. Just the reality of the situation in Nevada.

The actual KKK in America is irrelevant (except to be used by the Left) Media accidentally prove themselves and Dems WRONG about white supremacy movement This past week, the media have been up in arms about a KKK Rally that was scheduled to take place in Dayton, OH. Clearly, the white supremacy movement has been growing in leaps and bounds since evil Trump entered the White House … right? Wrong. From The Hill: A Klu Klux Klan (KKK) rally held in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday drew only nine members to the event and hundreds of counter-protesters. The rally was held in the center of downtown Dayton at Courthouse Square and was hosted by the Honorable Sacred Knights of Indiana, which has been identified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a KKK hate group. Though the rally, which received a permit from Montgomery County earlier this year, was slated to have 10 to 20 or more members of the group in attendance, police say only nine members showed up. JUST IN: The only idiots who care about KKK idiots having a rally are in the media. Ok, the idiots in the Southern Poverty Law Center care too but eh. Wait, not even a dozen … NINE OF THEM SHOWED UP. and the same comment: And I would add, that if your 'response to this article is that we are denying that there is a small, vocal (despicable) group of white supremacists in the U.S. then you either didn't read the article or you are an idiot. Your choice. All the KKK dudes were apparently too occupied on the TSW LamarJackson thread and missed their ride to Dayton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Biased Media Are Shocked to Learn the KKK Isn’t Really Much of a Thing Anymore If you listen to the mainstream media and the left in the country (but I repeat myself…), you’d think that white supremacy, the KKK, and the so called “alt-right” were massive, powerful conglomerates within the United States. And it’s of course all Donald Trump’s fault. Even the most innocuous statements by the President are spun as “dog whistles” to these pervasive groups. In reality, white supremacy is almost entirely irrelevant in this country. The numbers are so small that national rallies routinely only draw dozens of people, not hundreds and certainly not thousands. That’s not to say that individual people can’t do evil things, such as the recent synagogue shooting in San Diego, but to pretend the KKK, et al hold any actual sway over political power is perpetrating a false narrative. But the media love that false narrative. It allows them paint conservatives as racist bigots who are in league with neo-nazis. Never mind that white supremacists have no real connection to the American right and routinely oppose conservative ideology (see my reports on both the San Diego and New Zealandshooters’ manifestos). When you can’t win on the political merits, the game becomes destroying your opponent and that’s the entire reason the media are so obsessed with white supremacy in the age of Trump. {snip} There is no exploding white supremacist movement in this country. There are only the remnants of a dying group of idiots that spend most of their time lashing on the internet, making their influence seem much larger than it actually is. This is then fed into and amplified by the media, which is actually helping their cause. And it’s all done in the name of slapping at Donald Trump. Meanwhile, hundreds of people routinely show up all across the country for violent antifa rallies and the press don’t bat an eye at their growing numbers. They even defend them, as Chris Cuomo has done multiple times. White supremacy is a garbage ideology. The media’s biased push to elevate their standing just to attack Republicans is dishonest and irresponsible. It should be pointed out as the cynical ploy that it is. These groups are a dying relic and good riddance to them. The press should stop playing politics and let them die. and as always: And I would add, that if your 'response to this article is that we are denying that there is a small, vocal (despicable) group of white supremacists in the U.S. then you either didn't read the article or you are an idiot. Your choice. . Edited May 27, 2019 by B-Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really hurts, and what killed him, is that for the time he spent engulfed in flame, he was inhaling very hot air. He likely died of pulmonary edema, from what was effectively "third degree burns in his lungs." 33 minutes ago, Hedge said: The interesting thing IMO is that he was able to seemingly withstand the pain. So, he was either proficient in some amazingly advanced meditation techniques or he was EXTREMELY hopped up on something. I wouldn't be surprised if, at some point, his brain just said "***** this, he's not listening to me" and his pain receptors shut down. It's been known to happen in severe trauma cases - pain is useful as a "something's wrong" signal, but can get extreme enough that the body essentially stops transmitting pain signals on some sort of biological "What's the point?" basis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
