This piece offers five reasons Marxism has nothing to offer millennials or any one else for that matter.  Quote: "For millennials looking to shake off a dull weekend with a good economics or philosophy book, Marxism is one topic you might want to avoid. Anyone who has taken the time to read either Karl Marx or Friedrich Engels would, hopefully, realize just how lucky they are to live in a relatively free society. But for those who do manage to find some merit in Marxism, here are five things every millennial should consider before subjecting their minds to the oft-appealing ideology."    https://fee.org/articles/5-reasons-marxism-has-nothing-to-offer-millennials/?

A sobering look at the state of our nation.  Quote: "Bottom line for the left: Americans should be sickened and ashamed of the history that made us the world’s greatest nation. And we should acknowledge our ancestors’ guilt by tearing down any and all monuments and statues that memorialize them.  This rising segment of America, full of self-righteous rage, is determined to blacken the memory of those who have gone before us.  To another slice of America, much of the celebrated social and moral “progress” of recent decades induces a sense of nausea, summarized in the lament, “This isn’t the country we grew up in.”  Hillary Clinton famously described this segment of America as a “basket of deplorables … racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic … bigots,” and altogether “irredeemable.” So, what still unites us? What holds us together into the indefinite future? What makes us one nation and one people? What do we offer mankind, as nations seem to recoil from what we are becoming, and are instead eager to build their futures on the basis of ethnonationalism and fundamentalist faith? If advanced democracy has produced the disintegration of a nation that we see around us, what is the compelling case for it?  A sixth of the way through the 21st century, what is there to make us believe this will be the Second American Century?"     https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/25/what-still-unites-us/

Despite their own self righteous belief in the goodness of their philosophy this piece suggests progressives are actually harmful to women and minorities.  This piece provides a brief discussion of the topic.    http://www.americanlibertyreport.com/articles/the-dangers-of-diversity-and-inclusion-fundamentalists/   Read this and tell me if this proves Trump is a racist.  The idiots of the left will despite facts find a way to continue telling their great big racist lies..because if truth be known they are the real racists in our country....have been for a very long time.  Multiple compelling facts, some which have been shared with you, support that assertion.   http://dailycaller.com/2017/08/17/black-employment-up-up-up-under-trump/

This video takes 20 minutes to watch but is worth it.  I have heard a number of interviews with Kevin Gutzman and agree with 10th Amendment director's assessment that he is an expert on Constitutional history.  If he says something you can bet he is right.   https://soundcloud.com/tenthamendmentcenter/constitution-essentials-the-14th-amendment-and-the-incorporation-doctrine

Evidence of the rank illegality and corruption of the Obama administration is becomming increasingly obvious.  Quote: "There has been much speculation over just how criminal the Obama administration was. Facts have demonstrated that criminal activity took place, but the level of corruption just keeps getting deeper as each day passes.  The American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ) recently put through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request that revealed what we already suspected: Barack Obama’s DoJ colluded with multiple groups in order to cover up the story of Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch meeting on a Phoenix tarmac just last year. It was learned that the FBI, under Comey, lied to us, the mainstream media colluded to get the story buried, and the main goal was to make sure that the story never saw the light of day."  And, "There seems to be a bigger picture than what we are all seeing here. The corruption from the previous administration is becoming unraveled at breakneck speeds. Once the truth is out in the open, these people can finally be prosecuted. It is clear that Obama and Lynch did everything they could to cover for Hillary Clinton."    https://www.teaparty.org/breaking-fbi-data-dump-just-exposed-obamas-nasty-mission-clear-hillary-257318/

This item adds to the multitude of criminal acts committed by the Obama administration. Quote: "To be clear, this means that Obama’s NSA spied on American citizens, collected data it should not have had, and then shared that data with an intelligence community that did not know it shouldn’t have it. Private information about American citizens that should have been deleted immediately potentially was widely circulated among government intelligence bureaucrats – members of the so-called “deep state” – who should never have seen that intelligence. In sum total, these memos reveal the NSA under the Obama administration violated the law numerous times by over-collecting data it wasn’t permitted to receive, by failing to provide documentation justifying the collection of that data, by engaging in “overly broad” searches for information, and failing to destroy improperly collected data as required by law."     https://www.conservativereview.com/articles/bombshell-report-obama-admins-police-state-tactics-revealed

This index confirms that corruption in the United States increased during Obama's time in office.  Quote: "The Index of Economic Freedom, in its 2017 edition, estimates that based on composite scores of all ten indicators, the greatest amount of economic freedom can be found in the following parts of the world: Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Switzerland, Australia, Estonia, Canada, the United Arab Emirates, Ireland, and Chile. The United States ranks only 17 in the world by the Index of Economic Freedom benchmarks. Ten years ago, before the Barack Obama presidency, America ranked fourth in the world."    https://fee.org/articles/corruption-rises-as-economic-freedom-falls/?

If you want to know the unvarnished truth about the violent left then you need to read this product discussing the findings of two liberals. Quote: "And, while there is no evidence of a growing right-wing extremist movement, even left-leaning journalists have found abundant evidence of a rapidly growing violent left-wing movement, as well as signs of it going mainstream, along with an increasing normalization of political violence.  Although the name is supposed to stand for “anti-fascist,” John Hinderaker of the Powerline blog described Antifa as actually “a fascist group that has also rioted at Washington, Berkeley, Seattle and other places, (that) typically wears black clothes and masks, arms its members with baseball bats, ax handles and 2x4s, and often attacks random people on the street.”     http://www.wnd.com/2017/08/leftist-violence-goes-mainstream-in-america/    This is a picture of evil and senseless leftist violence unconnected to anything meaningful.  It is merely senseless violence.

Collusion between Trump and Russia to defeat Hillary?  Really?  Quote: "In the far-left publication The Nation, a report has been released that proves that last year’s DNC “hack” was actually a leak from the inside. Consisting of exhaustive analysis, including forensic work on the DNC servers, this report denies that outside hackers attacked the DNC, according to the Independent Journal Review.  This finding is nothing if not huge, for the entire Russian “collusion” story must show that Russian hackers were part of a broad campaign designed to deny Democrat Hillary Clinton the presidency."    https://www.teaparty.org/breaking-nsa-drops-bombshell-russia-report-people-stunned-258515/   Where are the people on the left demanding answers?  Nowhere to be found if it involve one of their own.  Lawlessness for their buddies is acceptable.  Unacceptable if they don't like you.

An example of the rank hypocrisy of the political and mainstream media left.  Obama didn't do it is Okay.  If Trump doesn't do it is NOT okay.  Do you understand that bit of leftist dishonesty and hypocrisy?   http://www.westernjournalism.com/fact-check-did-obama-not-condemn-white-nationalists-after-the-charleston-shooting/?   Logic is not the left's strong suit.

This piece addresses "REPORT: Number of People Secretly Unmasked By Samantha Power is ‘Unprecedented’ (VIDEO)"   Quote: "Former Obama administration officials are the subject of intense scrutiny in relation to Congress’ investigation into ‘unmasking’ allegations. According to the Washington Free Beacon, former United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power ‘unmasked’ hundreds during her final year as an Obama administration official. The Washington Free Beacon’s Adam Kredo says Power’s ‘unmasking’ was done on an ‘unprecedented’ scale."    http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/08/report-number-people-secretly-unmasked-samantha-power-unprecedented-video/

Yet in spite of evidence of rank corruption in the Obama administration the mainstream media ignores the evidence in front of their faces and vigorously pursues a sitting president having improved the nation's health since the Obama disaster. Democrat and RINO operatives pile on for good measure.  Little good can be said of any of these irresponsible dishonorable men and women who purposely pursue a nefarious objective.  Their collective are treasonous.  Quote: "As President Donald Trump flew off for August at his Jersey club, there came word that Special Counsel Robert Mueller III had impaneled a grand jury and subpoenas were going out to Trump family and campaign associates. The jurors will be drawn from a pool of citizens in a city Hillary Clinton swept with 91 percent of the vote. Trump got 4 percent. Whatever indictments Mueller wants, Mueller gets. Thanks to a media that savages him ceaselessly, Trump is down to 33 percent approval in a Quinnipiac University poll and below 40 percent in most of the rest."  And, "But there is a far larger story here, of which this Post piece is but an exhibit. It is the story of a concerted campaign, in which the anti-Trump media publish leaks, even criminal leaks, out of the FBI, CIA, NSA and NSC, to bring down a president whom the Beltway media and their deep-state collaborators both despise and wish to destroy."  And what happens after the coup?, "The answer suggests itself. This is a collaborative enterprise, where everyone protects everyone else’s sources, because all have the same goal: the dumping of Trump. If that requires collusion with criminals, so be it."  And, "By colluding, the mainstream media, deep state, and the special prosecutor’s button men, with a license to roam, may bring down yet another president. So doing, they will validate John Adams’s insight: “Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.”    https://www.theburningplatform.com/2017/08/08/after-the-coup-what-then/
