    I agree with Pete, so his statement should include "SOME" white people. Seeing so many white folks marching with the black folks tell me I am not alone.

    My investments are up over 10% this week. He's breathed plenty of oxygen into the markets considering that Obama-Biden sold the country to China and their work exposed us to whatever China deals out. This year it was the Kung Flu. Trump was stuck with the job of kicking the Chinese out of here, but too many Democrats are being paid off by companies with deep Chinese ties. He'll reverse Biden's sale of the US substantially by 2024

    WASHINGTON — All things being equal, Col. Anthony Henderson has the military background that the Marine Corps says it prizes in a general: multiple combat tours, leadership experience and the respect of those he commanded and most who commanded him.
    “Tony Henderson has done everything you could do in the Marines except get a hand salute from Jesus Christ himself,” said Milton D. Whitfield Sr., a former Marine gunnery sergeant who served for 21 years.
    Last year, the Navy secretary, Richard V. Spencer, even added a handwritten recommendation to Colonel Henderson’s candidacy: “Eminently qualified Marine we need now as BG,” he wrote.
    But never in its history has the Marine Corps had anyone other than a white man in its most senior leadership posts. Colonel Henderson is Black.
    “It took an act of Congress last year to get them to integrate by gender at the platoon level,” said Representative Anthony G. Brown, Democrat of Maryland and a former Army helicopter pilot. “And now they continue to hold onto that 1950s vision of who Marines are.”

    Logic is great. They should teach it in high school again.

    Great! Now all you need is a really big casket to take all that dough with you when you kick the bucket.

    "Logic?" Jim says. "What's that?"
    The dean says, "I'll give you an example. Do you own a whipper snipper?""Yeah."
    "Then logically speaking, because you own a whipper snipper, I think that you would have a yard."
    "That's true, I do have a yard."
    "I'm not done," the dean says. "Because you have a yard, I think logically that you would have a house."
    "Yes, I do have a house."
    "And because you have a house, I think that you might logically have a family."
    "Yes, I have a family."
    "I'm not done yet. Because you have a family, then logically you would have a wife. And because you have a wife, then logic tells me you must be a heterosexual."
    "I am a heterosexual." says Jim. "That's amazing, you were able to find out all that because I have a whipper snipper!"
    Excited to take the class now, Jim shakes the Dean's hand and leaves to go meet Bob at the bar.
    He tells Bob about his classes, how he is signed up for Maths, English, History and Logic.
    "Logic?" Bob says, "What's that?"
    Jim says, "I'll give you an example. Do you have a whipper snipper?"
    "No."
    "Then you're a poofter."
