Mark Bray authored the book "The Anti-Fascist Handbook," in 2017. Apparently, some disgruntled people are trying get him fired. I don't think Rutgers will comply.

Anyway, you can read the book for yourself and learn more American history, then decide for yourself what all this nonsense is about.

If The Loud Boys and The Oath Breakers had their way, they would each be equivalent SSA.

Of course, that didn't work out too well for Ernst Röhm and his cohort.

I am awe-struck.
A new world record for Nobel Prizes.
It's remarkable, really.
Congratulations to each and all, and to U.C. Berkeley.

Oof. The more they fail, the more they lie. They are lying all the time now, which means they are failing all the time.

It's insulting to the sensibilities of decent Americans.

Maybe you can add some writing about finding hope in difficult times. It may be helpful. Cheers!

Lies, and the lying Liars Who Tell Them, by Al Franken.

GOP blocked the bill, and is now scrambling to recover because they know they stepped on a political land mine when blocking a bill to pay our troops during the shutdown.

Their lies are truly astounding.

America is anti-fascist. Period.

In this photograph, American anti-fascist troops may be seen storming the beaches at Normandy, France, in support of the anti-fascist Allied Forces during WWII, who beat back and defeated the Italian, German, and other fascist totalitarian regimes on the continent.
