What IF Abraham Lincoln Had Simply Said Bye Bye? Wouldn't We All Be Better Off IF the South was a Separate Country?

Think About it... What Would the USA Be Like If There Simply Was No Civil War?

In My Humble Opinion... Texas Should Be A Country of It's Own. The People There are Waco! #MAGAKillers, Weird Religious Nuts, Idiot Presidents and a Few Good Country and Western Singers. Well, we could Still Have the Singers Tour America but all those other Defective Brains can just GTFO! 


The Last Time Texas Did Anything of Value was Sept. 12, 1958 When Jack Kilby Invented the Integrated Circuit at Texas Instruments. AND THAT was 60 Years Ago! Reality: They are a Drain on the USA. Texas Receives More Payments in Food Stamps, Welfare, Unemployment and Medicare than they Pay in Federal Taxes. 

And They can take the Entire South With Them. We the Taxpayers will be Paying a Fortune for Hurricane Relief, AGAIN... Some Places Just are NOT VALID to Live in. Uninhabitable! The Gulf Coast of Texas all the way to Florida and Up the Atlantic to Virginia... Don't Build a House There... It WILL Get Wiped Out By A Hurricane... REALLY! PAY ATTENTION TO REALITY! Don't Build a House There!

I was wrong to state that there were ZERO people of value to come out of the American South since Jack Kilby in 1958 (with the exception of a Few Good Country and Western Singers). In Fact, Dr Martin Luther King and all his Coworkers were Southerners. And they were Great! But It IS TRUE to state that there were NO WHITE PEOPLE from the South that were of any value in the last 60 years... I see today on TV That Senator Rick Scott is Meeting with Mad King Donald to discuss the Hurricane. Scott made it illegal to talk about Global Warming or Climate Change in any Official Florida Government Documents when he was Governor. It Seems that simply pretending there is no problem FAILS to stop Mother Nature... He also looks like Golum from the Lord of the Rings... I realize that it's not nice to make fun of ugly people but... I Can't look at him without thinking of "My Precious." He Ain't Got No Alibi, He's U.G.L.Y.



They can take the Entire South With Them. We the Taxpayers will be Paying a Fortune for Hurricane Relief, AGAIN... Some Places Just are NOT VALID to Live in. Uninhabitable!

PANIC AT THE WHITE HOUSE! Trump's FRANTIC Tweets Shows that he is TERRIFIED... and... Who ARE The Rats that LEAKED to the Whistle Blower? Trump's Own People Betrayed Czar Donald and Revealed Secrets That Will Take Him Down! Was it Kelly Anne Conway?

The List of Possible People is VERY SHORT!  The Time Has Come to #Runaway from Trump... So that When He GOES TO PRISON, You will be an Observer NOT a Participant in the Trial... SAVE YOURSELF! 

Jail Time for Rude Julie Anna! LOCK HIM UP!

Russian Television News and Trump's Flying Monkeys ALL SING THE SAME SONG... They Repeat the "Totally True Statement" that Russia Did Not Interfere in 2016 Election and Everything is a Conspiracy Led by Hillary, Joe, Larry, Curly, Moe and The Little Rascals! They all Insist that "Trump is a Saint" and "Putin Never Did Anything Wrong EVER!" - It Was The Democrats that Hacked Themselves in order to FRAME PUTIN... and Hillary was the Real Person To Assassinate LINCOLN! 

We should Subpoena The Secret Code Word Server to see what ELSE Trump has Hidden There...

HEADLINE: Bill Gates sounds supportive of Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax

Bill Gates knows a thing or two about wealth, and the Microsoft co-founder, who is one of the world's wealthiest people, says he'd be ok with a tax on his assets.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Gates was asked if he would support a wealth tax — which differs from income tax in that it includes things like a person's real estate investments or personal trusts — as a way to tackle growing inequality in the United States. Gates said he wouldn't be opposed to such a measure, but he did indicate it's not currently a realistic notion, in part because countries fear it would lead to an exodus of their wealthier citizens. So, unless there's some sort of international cooperation, Gates doesn't think it's going to happen. Instead, he more fervently supports an increase for the already-existing estate tax.

"I doubt, you know, the U.S. will do a wealth tax, but I wouldn't be against it," he said. "The closest thing we have to it is the estate tax. And I've been a huge proponent that that should go back to the level of 55 percent that it was a few decades ago."

Massive Anti-Trump Protest on July 4th in Washington DC. Trump is Planning a Campaign Rally at the Lincoln Memorial with A Foaming at the Mouth Hate Filled Rant.

NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED... THE NEXT EVENT IS YET TO BE ANNOUNCED... PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH AN INVITATION AND I'LL POST A LINK HERE! gregvan@yahoo.com


A perfect time for a Half a Million people to surround Trump and Scream... 
Massive Anti-Trump Protest on July 4th in Washington DC. Trump is Planning a Campaign Rally at the Lincoln Memorial with A Foaming at the Mouth Hate Filled Rant.

This seems like a perfect opportunity for Civil Disobedience... 
A Patriot Could Bring a Personal Alarm and when Trump Speaks, pull the cord and make a 130 dB Noise! 

DO NOT BRING Firecrackers, M-80s or Cherry bombs to Trump's Speech on July 4th... The Secret Service will arrest you... Massive explosions sound too much like gunfire... DO NOT BRING THEM TO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL... Bring Personal Alarms...

The Traditional Fireworks will be moved over to Potomac Park...  far away from the Mall... So, we will just have to bring our own Fireworks... Especially the Rockets that Fly Up into the Air and Explode! A person can buy all varieties of explosives at South of the Border in South Carolina... Often people just drive south and bring back many varieties of things that go BOOM! M-80 Firecrackers would drive the Secret Service INSANE! and Trump would Duck and Cover... 




COST TO TAXPAYERS $2.5 MILLION DOLLARS

Headline: Trump Hijacks Washington, DC July 4th Celebrations To Put Himself at the Center... 

President Donald Trump has taken over the organizational plans for the nation’s annual July 4th celebrations in Washington, DC, according to the Washington Post. He has moved the fireworks display from the Mall, where it has been held for more than 50 years, to a spot closer to the Potomac River. He has also inserted himself into the program, promising to address the nation from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, turning the usual non-partisan celebration of the nation’s independence into what will amount to a campaign rally. Officials did not have a price tag on the changes, but the Post reported that the firework display on the Mall has been orchestrated for more than half a century.

I believe the SECOND CIVIL WAR will be interesting to watch on TV but NOT FUN to actually participate in. GUN NUTS keep on saying that IF Trump Loses the election in 2020 there will be GUNFIRE Nationwide. Especially in Washington DC when the Police try to enter the White House to drag Trump out in Handcuffs. PLAN TO BE FAR AWAY! Like a Vacation in Australia or East OOGA BOOGA.

A better Idea... Instead of bringing Firecrackers to DISRUPT Trump's July Fourth Celebration... Bring a Personal Alarm! and make a 130dB Screaming Noise! You can tell the Police "Hey, I Felt Threatened... That's Why I Pulled the Alarm..." and It's TRUE... Trump's Speeches ARE THREATENING!

DO NOT bring FIRECRACKERS to Trump's 4th of July "Mad Dog - Foaming at the Mouth" Speech at the Lincoln Memorial...

DO NOT GO to South Carolina and Buy M-80s,
Bottle Rockets or Cherry Bombs...




Don't Do It or The Secret Service WILL ARREST YOU and then Throw You into the Briar Patch! On Highway 95 JUST SOUTH OF THE BORDER... https://fireworkssupermarket.com/dillon-sc/
DO NOT GO to South Carolina and Buy M-80 Firecrackers or Cherry Bombs and then bring them to Trump's  4th of July Mad Dog - Foaming at the Mouth Speech  at the Lincoln Memorial. Don't Do It or  The Secret Service WILL ARREST YOU  and then Throw You into the Briar Patch!
Anyone who�s sat outside on an early July afternoon knows the ear-popping sound of a lit string of firecrackers hitting the pavement. 
Ah the sweet sound of celebration...

Drumpf [Trump] Threatens to Wreck the Fourth of July Celebration in Washington DC by turning it into A MAGA Campaign Rally. He plans a Foaming at the Mouth Mad Dog Speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

The Same Location that Dr Martin Luther King said "I Have a Dream." That Dream has Turned into a Nightmare... With a Crazy Killer Clown Haunting the White House...

Rudy Giuliani Cancels Trip to Uranus. He was going there to find "Dirt" on Joe Biden's Son. He Cancelled Because they told Rudy that he wasn't Welcome. GTFO! Go Home! We Had an Election and Sent Paul Manafort's Boy Back to Russia!

DJIA Loses 600+ Points. Stock Market Hammered by Trump's "Bonehead" Trade War. White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow says All Americans will be paying higher prices. Dow Jones Industrial Average "Goes Berzerker" and Everyone Loses Money...  Will Donald Drumpf [Trump] cause Global Economic Collapse? Will he Declare Bankruptcy AGAIN and ask His Father to Bail Him Out?

Which Side did the Drumpf [Trump] Family Support During World War Two? Germany or America? Germany. Looking at the Trump family, none of Trump’s parents, uncles, or first cousin seem to have served in World War II on the American side. Trump has second cousins on his German side living in Kallstadt who likely fought for Germany in World War II.

Why does President Trump Hate American Farmers? His Trade War has Reduced Profits, Increased Bankruptcies. He has CAUSED More Suicides, More Drug Addiction Overdoses and More Alcoholism than we had during the Obama Years. FACT! 

Democrats Could Hold Fund Raising Movie Showings of "Casablanca" or "The Sound of Music"... "There are Very Fine People on Both Sides." Said Donald Drumpf [Trump] about American Nazis Holding Tiki Torches at Twilight in Charlottesville... Just Like There were some Very Fine Germans During WW2... Like Wernher von Braun... The Reason these two movies would be perfect for Fundraisers is THEY ARE BOTH ABOUT FINE PEOPLE FIGHTING THE NAZIS... AND TODAY WE ARE FIGHTING THE NAZIS AGAIN... #DumpDrumpf

Great Book: "The Soul of America: The Battle for our Better Angels" by Jon Meacham:- Rising Above Corruption - Behaving Morally

https://www.amazon.com/Soul-America-Battle-Better-Angels/dp/0399589813
Our current climate of partisan fury is not new, and in "The Soul of America" Meacham shows us how what Abraham Lincoln called the “better angels of our nature” have repeatedly won the day.

Great Book:"Leadership: In Turbulent Times" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. What we can learn from Great American Presidents. Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson

https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Turbulent-Doris-Kearns-Goodwin/dp/1476795924  Biography
In "Leadership", Goodwin draws upon the four presidents she has studied most closely—Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B. Johnson (in civil rights)—to show how they recognized leadership qualities within themselves and were recognized as leaders by others. By looking back to their first entries into public life, we encounter them at a time when their paths were filled with confusion, fear, and hope.
