This is another re-post from my other blog….it is aimed at those poor individuals that have not yet found Daily Agitator….
It seems that we just do not agree but rather hate each other…..
How long can this go on?

For some time we have been told that our power grid is old and in need of an upgrade for in this condition it is vulnerable to attack….so far no one in DC has taken these warnings to heart and our grid is getting older and weaker.
A recent article points out that if just 9 power stations go down it could take the whole grid with it.
The feature in the New York Times Magazine poses a stark question: “What if America went completely dark?” After interviewing more than two dozen experts on the nation’s power grid, Christopher Cox makes the case that the question isn’t as far-fetched as it sounds. The grid itself, for instance, “is perhaps the most complex machine ever built, but it was created without a master plan,” he writes. It’s more accurate to think of three grids—the Western, Eastern, and Texas Interconnections. Cox reports that a federal analysis once found that disabling as few as nine key substations across those three grids could trigger a coast-to-coast outage. A related problem is that the hardware that makes those substations work—huge, custom-built power transformers—is in critically short supply. Meaning, such a blackout could theoretically last years.
“It is difficult to overstate how completely the loss of the grid would disrupt life as we know it,” writes Cox, whose story explores how the bottleneck, combined with rising physical threats, aging equipment, and long repair timelines could combine for a life-altering catastrophe. As for those threats, Cox revisits a still unresolved 2013 attack in California in which assailants severed underground cables at a substation before snipers expertly knocked out 17 transformers in about 20 minutes. It’s unlikely that a domestic terror group could wipe out nine entire substations, notes Cox, but the feat would not be beyond the scope of a “state actor.” Read the full story, which explores what emerging tech like solid-state transformers and grid-scale batteries might do to blunt the risk.
The admin seems more worried about what name is on a building than the possibility of a nationwide loss of power….at what point does someone start thinking about our aged infrastructure?
My guess is they will wait until it happens then blame the Dems.
This is a concern and yet we vote for idiots that say nothing about a growing problem….matters not which party for they both are as useless as tits on a flashlight.
Now I know there is some opinions out there….let them fly.

Back in the days leading up to the election of 2024 myself as well as many others warned that Donny was pushing the Heritage Foundations plan named Project 2025….once in office he started using the plan from day one….
With that said should we look at the success of this plan?
Project 2025 has moved much further than most people realize, and the groups keeping count agree on the direction even when they disagree on the math.
One tracker following the blueprint across 34 federal agencies counts 321 objectives, with 141 marked complete and another 70 underway. That is roughly 44 percent finished and about two thirds either done or in motion. The Center for Progressive Reform, working with Governing for Impact, tracks a different and larger list of 532 recommended executive actions across 20 agencies and found that 283 of them, about 53 percent, had been initiated or completed within the first twelve months. The numbers differ because the lists differ. The trend does not.
On food and household assistance, the reconciliation bill carried two items straight off the blueprint. It rolled back updates to the Thrifty Food Plan, which is the formula the government uses to calculate how much money a household actually receives in food stamp benefits. Adjusting it downward does not change who qualifies, it changes how much food a family can buy. The same bill imposed stricter work requirements on SNAP recipients. Separately, staff at the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, which helps families cover heating and cooling costs, were fired, and the program was sharply limited.
On the environment, the EPA finalized the rescission of the 2009 endangerment finding, which was the legal foundation for federal climate regulation. Interior finalized a rule narrowing critical habitat protections so drilling, mining and logging can proceed as long as animals are not directly killed. The Center for Western Priorities found that nearly 70 percent of the fossil fuel related actions in the blueprint have been implemented, with another 20 percent in progress.
On health and reproductive policy, Reproductive Freedom for All tracks 57 actions and counts 24 completed with 10 more in progress. HHS canceled 53 of the 67 grants in the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program and now requires recipients to teach abstinence as the only method. The National Institutes of Health stopped funding research using human fetal tissue.
On government structure, the administration stripped collective bargaining rights from federal workers across 18 departments, a move currently tied up in court. Treasury permanently halted collection of ownership data on private American companies that had been required under the Corporate Transparency Act. The military drew down forces in Europe, including 5,000 troops out of Germany. Four agencies have completed every objective on their list, including USAID.
…
Now what is in motion but unfinished. The Department of Education has been hollowed out with the groundwork laid to dismantle it, but it still exists, because eliminating a cabinet department requires Congress. The Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis, which the blueprint accused of being weaponized for domestic political purposes, has been targeted for major downsizing but has not been eliminated. On federal land protection, less than 20 percent of the identified actions are done, but nearly 70 percent are in progress, including efforts to rescind the Public Lands Rule and the Roadless Rule.

I would say that the implementation of Project 2025 has been a resounding success….to our chagrin….and to the country’s loss.
This runaway train must be stopped and it will be up to each of us to see that it is brought to a stop.
Can we do it?

+++Note: I need to be at the hospital for my procedures at 0645….so this will be my only offering for today as I will probably be in a shitty mood when I get home….thanx for understanding.+++
Since the late 70s early 80s the country has had an emerging new god on the horizon…..greed.
It is steadily gotten worse year by year and then we elected the spokesman for greed…..DJ Trump….but even with is insatiable appetite for money he has only made the tech bros the lead on greed.
I am talking about people like Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, et al….
Life is strange.
If you’d told me fifteen years ago that, as part of covering DC politics, I’d be reading books about space, I’d have told you to take a hike. But when Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, he set a chain of events in motion.
I remember the day the Washington Post’s sale was announced. It was August 2013 and I was with my friend Tony Norman at our regular falafel haunt on U Street when I got an alert on my phone saying Bezos had just bought the Post for $250 million. “What?” Tony said when I broke the news to him. I read it again, not believing the words either. The Graham family, which had owned the Post for decades, wasn’t known to be looking to sell its prized possession. But now they had.
And in that instant, Bezos was transformed from the billionaire founder of Amazon, into the savior of the Post, if not the entire failing media industry. I read these hot takes with steam coming out of my ears. As the child of parents who owned our local newspaper, I was keenly aware of Amazon’s role in destroying newspapers across the country — namely by bankrupting local business, which are the lifeblood of any local paper (and community). The man who may be responsible for destroying more newspapers than anyone on earth was definitely not a savior of the free press.
That much I knew. But there was a lot about Bezos that I didn’t know. And now that he owned the Post, then the all-important newspaper for local DC politics, it was time to start reading up on the man.
The first book I cracked was The Everything Store, Brad Stone’s revelatory 2013 biography of Bezos. Eight years later, Stone followed that up with Amazon Unbound, another invaluable work. More recently, I devoured Wall Street Journal reporter Dana Mattioli’s excellent 2024 book The Everything War. These books laid bare Bezos’ business practices, a good number of which are illegal, or would be if we enforced antitrust laws in this country.
But there’s another aspect to Bezos that these books didn’t quite capture — namely how he’s lost touch with reality.
Bezos truly believes that he’s going to save humanity via an intergalactic bank shot. He’s perfectly open about this, and always has been. As I wrote in a story at Truthdig last year:
https://www.counterpunch.org/2026/07/23/how-bezos-and-the-tech-bros-made-greed-godly/
The Tech Bros will save humanity? First, from what? Second, are you kidding?
These Tech Bros firmly believe that they are serving humanity….I do not see it….do you?
What is up with the lie that if you are poor then you are lazy? Which conserv moron thought this piece of crap up?
I guess when you have that much money you can claim whatever you want.

“lego ergo scribo”
This is an open letter that I read recently and wanted to post it for others to see…..and hopefully understand….
My fellow American,
You may feel weary right now about the condition of our country.
So many of us feel exhausted, worn out, riddled with uncertainty, and worried about how we can get out of the mess we’re in. We are disgusted by the division and acrimony, the finger-pointing, and the endless partisanship that dangerously envelops our public lives and is tearing apart our very nation.
If you feel this way, you’re not alone.
As you know, I’ve been traveling the country to speak out about where we are and how we can move forward—together. Wherever I go, people from all walks of life and all political persuasions feel as I suspect you do: We can do better and be better—as individuals, as communities, and as a nation.
If you’re like me, you love this country. Honestly, I love it deeply. I know that’s not always a popular thing to say nowadays.
Yet in marking another July 4th—which was the 250th anniversary of our nation—it can be hard to express such love. Such is the nature of love, right? In all parts of our lives, love is often filled not only with joy, but with ambivalence, conflicting feelings, and even anger. It can make celebrations of our love for others—and for this nation—tenuous, difficult, even foul.
So, what does it mean to love America today?
For me, I think about what “patriotism”—and being a patriot—means. It isn’t about holding a blind allegiance to the country, wrapping ourselves in the flag, and using it as a weapon to denigrate, diminish, or even decimate those who look different from us or hold different views. I flatly reject such patriotism. I believe we all must.
Nor do I subscribe to a view that relentlessly trashes America, a view that is blind in its own ways to the good and goodness that exists throughout our nation, one that believes we must tear down the country in order to rebuild it. This patriotism is a dead end.
Instead, I urge us to embrace—indeed, to enact—a “patriotism of devotion.” Such patriotism is rooted in a deep affection for the nation—a love of the nation—that is so deep that you choose to stick with it through thick and thin, especially when you do not like what it is becoming or the direction it is going.
A patriotism of devotion beckons us to step forward, turn outward toward one another, and get to work—together. In this kind of patriotism, we see ourselves as builders, partners, and creators—even re-creators—in a shared American project where each of us matters, each of us has something to contribute, and each of us is afforded the dignity we deserve.
Retreating, surrendering, or giving up cannot be the answer, even though there may be days when you may feel like doing so. I get it. We all have such days.
Indeed, I am not asking you to pretend that you don’t hold certain feelings amid July 4th and the 250th anniversary of our nation. Nor am I suggesting you should somehow set aside, even suppress, your feelings. They’re yours; you have them. Let’s face it, many of us do.
Rather, I am writing to ask of you something basic but that, amid the current chaos, may feel seemingly out of reach. It is this: We must recommit to building together—or perhaps rebuild the very civic culture of our communities, this nation, and our common lives, so that we might better move toward our shared desire for a more perfect union, amid the real challenges we face.
This should be our American ambition today. To rebuild our country, starting in our local communities. Brick by brick. Block by block. Neighborhood by neighborhood.
We can do this. But we must go together.

Wise words.

To begin with the term ‘Marxist’ ought to send the more ignorant among us into some form of stroke mode…..but this is about culture more than the man…..but your IQ needs to be larger than your shoe size to differentiate.
Before we tackle this subject maybe a little background would help…..
1930s: originally denoting a theory that the oppression of the working class is effected through social and cultural means, developed by the Frankfurt School of social theorists.
(among some right-wing thinkers) a radical political ideology said to be promoted by left-wing activists with the aim of undermining or subverting western social and cultural institutions, ultimately resulting in the imposition of a progressive agenda on society.
Yes it is bullshit but that is what right wingers do best….spread manure.
Now for the meat of this post.
“Not to disparage David Bowie,” Alan Bennett remarked in 2016, “but if even a fraction of the tributes being paid to him and his influence were true, we would never have had a Conservative government.” Not to disparage Theodor Adorno, Jürgen Habermas and the other members of the Frankfurt School, but if they’d been one-millionth as potent as their detractors maintain, we would have had no Margaret Thatcher, no Ronald Reagan, no Liz Truss and no Donald Trump.
Yet, to hear some on the American far-Right tell it, “critical theory” – the Frankfurt School’s mash-up of Sigmund Freud, Karl Marx and Friedrich Nietzsche’s proto-existentialism – is responsible for everything that has gone wrong since the Second World War. Spoilt children, promiscuous teenagers, student radicals, transsexuals, rock ’n’ roll – each is the by-product of what the conservative activist Andrew Breitbart described as the Frankfurt ideology’s “adolescent rebellion against all rules and norms”.
What a load of claptrap, says the British historian AJA Woods. In The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy, he depicts a cult of wealthy American cranks and crackpots who kid each other that a few highbrow German-Jewish aesthetes managed to wreck Western civilisation. Certainly, the truth is more mundane: critical theory was just a logical extension of the highly moral form of literary criticism invented in Victorian England by Matthew Arnold at Oxford and carried on into the 20th century by F R Leavis at Cambridge.
Like Leavis and Arnold, the Frankfurters abhorred the rise of industrial capitalism. Unlike Leavis and Arnold, the Frankfurters were openly ideological. They were, to be precise, materialist Hegelians: they believed that, by melding their respective skill sets – philosophy, sociology, psychology, aesthetics – they could mint an entirely new and holistic explanation of history and society, premised on empirical grounds.
If you are interested this may be a good piece for you…..
It is all so much smoke screen for mental midgets that flock to the likes of Donny and his brand of fascism…..belittle the opposition…..it works for them.

“…Land of the free and home of the brave…”
When I returned from Vietnam I began my campaign of protesting the war and I was met with an amazing amount of defeatism…..I started my protests for after seeing that war first hand I could stand by and turn my head and ignore the horrors and the sacrifices.
Defeatism can be found in most aspects of life….your life, your job, etc but for this post I want to address political defeatism.
Personally I hate defeatism to me it is just throwing hands up and accepting crap and no inclination to change things.
First we need to define the term so there is NO confusion.
Defeatism….is a term used to describe an individual’s mindset or attitude characterized by a pervasive belief that failure is inevitable, and success is unattainable. This defeatist thinking can manifest in various aspects of life, including work, relationships, and personal goals. It often leads to a lack of motivation, low self-esteem, and a reluctance to take on challenges.
There seems to be a wealth of defeatism these days especially on blogs….it is fear that drives this cancerous feeling.
…
I can’t say for certain, but I got the clear sense that there is a wide-spread fear among Americans these days of openly expressing opposition to the aspiring orange tyrant in the White House. Putting an anti-Trump bumper sticker on a car could lead to vandalizing of the vehicle, saying something critical of Trump could mean losing friend, a job, or ruining a family gathering. I even heard that one of my J-School alums didn’t want to sign the Class of ‘69 protest letter or even to have a copy of it sent to his email address, explaining to a mutual friend that “I still have a journalism job” and thus even being associated with such a document!
A common comment I heard from people when I expressed my outrage at Trump’s executive orders like the blocking of already-awarded federal research grants, the revoking of already-approved Green Cards and student visas for foreign students, the deportation of children who are US citizens, and the president’s ignoring of judicial and even Supreme Court orders, has been a dismissive and resigned “Yeah, that’s the new normal now.”
I cannot recall observing that sort of defeatism and fear during the dark years of American atrocities in Indochina. When we learned of massacres of civilians in Vietnam by US troops, or of the carpet bombing by B-52s of North Vietnam and later of Cambodia, the news fueled mass marches across the country and in the nation’s capital.
…
This is the only way to stop what Shipler and I are noticing: a withdrawal from protest. That cannot be allowed to happen. As Shipler writes, “History is still in the hands of the people, for a time. Whether this enters American history as a passing phase or a fundamental turning point will depend on whether Americans mobilize. To make courage contagious. ‘In a free society,’ said Abraham Joshua Heschel during the civil rights movement, ‘some are guilty, but all are responsible.”
https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/05/15/fear-of-protesting-trump-policies-spreads-in-us/
Then there is apathy….defeatism and apathy go hand in hand and to the ruination of the nation….
A new kind of plague has spread across the West: the plague of resignation, marked by diminished voter turnout and a general retreat from political engagement. People feel frustrated by a system that seems to yield little change, regardless of their involvement. But treating this “plague” requires an understanding of its cause. While it’s easy to diagnose public sentiment as apathetic and cynical, we must ask what fuels this mindset and what might reverse it.
At the heart of this apathy is a deep-seated reluctance to self-examine or step beyond comfort zones. Many, especially on the political left, hold fixed beliefs about who holds power and who bears responsibility for society’s ills. There’s a pervasive notion that those in power are inherently to blame, that the powerful are perpetually working against the interests of ordinary people. This perspective is often accompanied by the view that any issue of injustice or inequality can be traced back to the “evil” actions of the elite. The public, in turn, finds a certain comfort in this approach. It allows people to feel moral and justified, focusing their frustrations outward rather than examining their own roles and responsibilities.
American history will be written by the people. Will you be part of the ‘brave’ or part of the defeatism that is striking fear in Americans hearts?
Even at my advanced age I refuse to live in fear and reject defeatism in all it’s forms
Who will stand with me?

“lego ergo scribo”
There are way too many people out there that have thrown up their hands and tolerate the destruction of a way of life and the country. (Not something I would ever consider)
There is a paradox of tolerance at work….
The paradox of tolerance, a theory that challenges a society’s ability to defend democracy from within, is at the heart of the political turmoil plaguing the United States today. The idea, first articulated by philosopher Karl Popper, suggests that a tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance itself, or else the intolerant will exploit that tolerance to dismantle the system from within. The United States is facing a stark test of this paradox as extremism and hate groups gain traction, exploiting the very liberties that protect democratic life.
The past few decades have seen the steady rise of groups that thrive on division, hate, and violence. From white nationalist organizations to conspiracy-driven militias like those associated with QAnon, these movements increasingly occupy the mainstream political conversation. At their core, these ideologies aim not only to challenge the social order but to dismantle the democratic principles of equality and justice. They are not just seeking to make their voices heard—they are attempting to redefine the terms of the social contract, eroding the shared values that have historically bound Americans together.
Consider the 2017 Charlottesville rally, where white nationalists, neo-Nazis, and other far-right extremists marched in the streets under the banner of “Unite the Right.” The violence that erupted, culminating in the death of counter-protester Heather Heyer, was a chilling reminder that these movements are not merely fringe elements but potent forces that can stoke real, deadly consequences. The response from certain political figures and public figures, including the president, was a horrifying moment in American politics. Rather than denouncing these groups unequivocally, there was a reluctance to take a firm stand against intolerance, allowing the seeds of hate to grow unchecked. In this moment, the U.S. was at the crossroads of the paradox of tolerance—its commitment to free speech and political expression directly collided with the need to protect democracy from those who would destroy it.
The question then becomes: How much tolerance is too much? Can a society truly remain open and free while it allows the propagation of ideas that actively undermine freedom itself? The answer is, unequivocally, no. When the principles of liberty are manipulated to spread hate and division, tolerance becomes not a virtue but a tool of destruction. The societal contract must be protected from those who seek to exploit it for their own gain, and that requires setting firm boundaries on what is considered acceptable within a democratic society.
Let me reiterate…..paradox of tolerance….The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance, thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.
You can see the paradox everywhere.
So is our tolerance of what is happening making all things worse?

I have always thought that it was part of my DNA to help others what is happening around them….educate and agitate….my grandfather use to get onto me for my obsession….his words we “when you teach a pig to sing you waste your time and piss off the pig (exact words).
Regardless I continued and continue to try and help people understand the situation…..and there are those here that agree with my grandfather that I waste my time….it is after all my time to waste and I do not like the defeatism that is prevalent.
There is always someone point a finger and trying to get people like me to stop what we are doing….
Mark Twain once quipped, “It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” The problem is that we rarely question our own beliefs. Once a false assumption takes hold, it becomes a default lens we use to interpret the world—and dislodging it becomes incredibly difficult.
One very basic assumption that lies at the heart of many change efforts is that information is power—the notion that if you arm people with the right knowledge, they will act on it. That’s why so many change programs are rooted in education and training, because they assume that the right information will change people’s behavior.
There’s even a name for this assumption: the information deficit model. Decades of research show that it doesn’t hold up. The truth is that we rarely change our behavior after being exposed to new facts. When confronted with evidence that contradicts our beliefs, we’re more likely to question the evidence than to update our views. Our brains prefer stability to change.
The core assumption of the information deficit model is that when people lack basic knowledge, exposing them to new evidence will change their opinions. But that assumes that their minds are blank slates, which is rarely true for most subjects and contexts. We all have preconceived notions of how the world works and will tend to cling to our views.
For example, people who believe in a flat earth don’t simply lack knowledge of a round earth, but have a model of the universe in which the earth is flat. In order to change those beliefs, they would not only need to accept new evidence, but also to discard old beliefs that they have relied on to navigate the world.
To do that they face a number of barriers they will need to overcome, including the synaptic pathways built up in their brains that are devoted to their existing model, the social pressure of people in their community who hold similar views, and the switching costs involved in changing their behavior based on their new knowledge.
The unreasonable idea is fed by stupidity not ignorance.
So to all those that feel I am wasting my time I say with a heart felt….BITE ME!

This past Saturday was set up for protests of Donny and his merry band of idiots and their destruction of the foundation of this country.
The expectation was the crowds would be large and vocal.
Organizers called it “the largest single-day nationwide demonstrations in US history,” with an estimate 8 million people coming out for events in communities and cities nationwide.
From major cities to rural towns that have never seen mobilizations like this before, protesters made clear that in America, we don’t do kings,“ the No Kings coalition said in a statement.
Demonstrators turned out for “No Kings” rallies around the world on Saturday in opposition to President Trump and his policies involving the Iran war, immigration enforcement, elections, health care, the Epstein files, the environment—and authoritarianism. In Washington, Bill Jarcho was in a small group wearing tactical vests marked “LICE” to spoof ICE agents. “What we provide is mockery to the king,” Jarcho said, per the AP. “It’s about taking authoritarianism and making fun of it, which they hate.” More than 3,300 events, the third wave of “No Kings” protests, were planned in all 50 states, per the Washington Post. Large rallies were held in cities and small ones on roadsides, including:
- Minneapolis: Organizers declared the city’s rally the day’s flagship event. Bruce Springsteen performed a song he wrote to protest the immigration operation that left two American citizens shot to death there by federal agents in January. “They picked the wrong city,” Springsteen told a crowd of thousands, per the New York Times. “These invasions of American cities will not stand,” he added. Gov. Tim Walz criticized Trump’s comments about Somali immigrants, saying their descendants would still be in the US long after “the orange clown is in the dustbin of history.” Instead of giving a speech, Jane Fonda read a statement from Becca Good, whose wife was one of the people killed by federal agents. “Everyone who was there when my wife was taken from me has had their lives destroyed that day, including those agents,” she read, per CNN. “What we need is to stop destroying life.” A huge sign placed on the state Capitol’s steps read: “We had whistles, they had guns. The revolution starts in Minneapolis.”
- Washington, DC: Protesters headed to the military base where Stephen Miller, the White House aide overseeing deportation efforts, has been living, chanting for his removal. Some said, “We’ve got the people outside your door.”
- Paris: Several hundred people, mostly Americans living in France, gathered at the Bastille with members of labor unions and human rights organizations, per the AP. “I protest all of Trump’s illegal, immoral, reckless, and feckless, endless wars,” organizer Ada Shen said.
- Topeka: A rally outside the Kansas Statehouse had people impersonating a frog king and Trump as a baby. Wendy Wyatt drove with a “Cats Against Trump” sign from Lawrence, 20 miles to the east, and planned to drive back to her hometown for a later rally there. “There are so many things” that upset her about the Trump administration, she said, though “this is very hopeful to me.”
- Manhattan: Protesters chanting while marched south from Midtown. One told CNN “there’s not enough room on the sign to say why” she’s protesting. “If we want a democracy,” she added, “we have to participate in it and we have to save it.”
- Austin: Protesters came to the roadside park Auditorium Shores. Gilbert Martinez, a 93-year-old Korean War veteran, said Trump is reckless and the Iran war a diversion, per the Times. “That idiot is going to cause a lot of good military people to lose their lives,” he said.
- Portland, Oregon: A large crowd marched to a drum beat. One sign read, “So bad, even introverts are here.”
- Chicago: Saira Bensett, 60, said the gathering in Grant Park was cathartic. “When I watch the news it’s often too much—the emotions I feel make me feel like I’m alone,” she said. “So I wanted to be here to feel like I’m not by myself.”
The US was not the only protests on Saturday…..
No Kings rallies weren’t just held in major US cities. In a series of social media posts, Indivisible co-founder Leah Greenberg collected photos and videos of No Kings events in communities including Arvada, Colorado, Madison, New Jersey, and St. Augustine, Florida, as well as international No Kings events held in London and Madrid.
Of course with the accumulation of that many protesters there were going to be rowdy individuals that take the protest a bit far…..but all in all they were peaceful….but of course the idiots that believe in the MAGA bullshit will try and twist the outcome to a negative….it was not and will not be a negative force.
I stopped by the one in my city early on Saturday and there was already about 100 people getting ready…..one guy said they were expecting about 350 people to show up.
The local news stations which there are two had no mention of the protests at all. The local rag had no story about the protests either.
However the Clarion Ledger out of Jackson Mississippi reported on the protest in a city about 60 miles north of the Coast.
I was not expecting too much out of the news down here for this is deep Red.
How about in your area?
