However, the roaring twenties came to a sickening halt on Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 when the stock market hit bottom and newspaper headlines screamed, “Wall Street in Panic as Stocks Crash!”

America and the world got a sense of reality that resonates today—a scientific fact became reality: what goes up also goes down.

This economic disaster was worldwide and lasted longer and was more devastating than any financial crisis in the history of the industrialized world. America was hurting all across the fruited plain as a result of the Great Depression and that was made worse by the drought and dust storms in the 1930s

In 1930, severe droughts in the Southern Plains brought high winds and dust from Texas to Nebraska, killing people, livestock and crops. With no jobs and no savings, consumer debt proliferated. Then the drought in the Midwest was followed by crop failure; other farmers left crops to rot in the fields as people starved in other parts of the distressed nation.

Thousands of farmers lost their farms that were engulfed by the dust storms. Not too smart farming, especially over-cultivation, had caused the Midwest to turn into a Dust Bowl.

Americans were forced to buy on credit with no jobs or money resulting in numerous foreclosures and repossessions that constantly climbed.

U.S. unemployment soared to 25% and wages fell for those fortunate few who had a job. When their money ran out, people stopped spending, only accelerating the panic. Since so many people were unemployed, the Gross National Product plummeted into the basement to 50%.

Unemployed citizens pulled savings out of their accounts triggering a bank run that caused half the nation’s banks to close. In 1933, all U.S. banks were closed by order of President Roosevelt. There were about 9,000 bank failures during the ten year depression. In 1933 alone, Americans lost $140 billion dollars and there was no federal insurance to reimburse the depositors.

Long lines of the unemployed (15 million) were common as were soup kitchens. Once wealthy men lost everything and jumped from the high windows of their plush offices. Others, literally sold fruit on the street for pennies. Hundreds of men carried signs informing all that they were unemployed and would take any job.

Many large cities had their shantytowns where once prosperous or at least middle class people now lived in squalor. Millions of Americans lived in the illegal, but tolerated ramshackle dwellings.

In desperation, Americans turned to the Democrats for their salvation; their savior was President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR). The leftist president signed the New Deal into law creating 42 new government agencies. The most long-lasting result of the Great Depression was the Social Security System that plagues and pleases (depending on one’s perspective) our nation yet today. Socialism was introduced to America and will unfortunately stay until the millennium.

After a devastating, dismal, and destructive ten years, the depression ended, not by FDR’s socialist alphabet federal agencies, but by World War II.

During the ten-year depression, politicians vied with each other to gain the ear and the vote of Americans. Roosevelt had already primed the pump but the water turned out to be bitter. Such difficult conditions brought out the worst of people—including more socialist politicians who demagogued their way into office.

An ostentatious, loud, grandiose senator from Louisiana named Huey “the Kingfish” Long took the stage in 1935 with his “Share the Wealth” plan—which included a guaranteed minimum income of $2,500 for every adult, old-age pensions for all, cancellation of all personal debts, free college, a thirty hour work week; four weeks of vacation for everyone, and an electric refrigerator and automobile for every America home.

There were over 27,431 local Share the Wealth Clubs, with over 7 million members nationwide promoting Socialism.

Americans were swallowing the socialism pill.

Like all demagogues, the Kingfish went after the corporations and billionaires (who had provided millions of jobs) as looters, moral lepers, and thieves. Sound familiar?

Just after his 42nd birthday, Senator Long was shot in Baton Rouge, the state capital, and died saying, “God, don’t let me die. I have so much to do.” But he died and nascent Socialism’s ascendency was delayed.

FDR projected a calm energy and optimism, famously declaring, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.” No, all you have to fear are self-righteous, zealous, Socialists—many of them Democrat presidential candidates.

Every Democrat candidate is so leftist, they make Huey Long and FDR look like flaming Libertarians.

It seems some of the critters in congress are disingenuous, dishonest, and dangerous.

The loudest proponents of Socialism and haters of America are Democrat “women of color” in the House of Representatives. These who are the loudest and most obnoxious ones bellowing about all the racism and misogynism in America, are sitting in the most prestigious seats of power. But they still whine. But then, radical liberals—of both parties and both genders—have always been people without working brains, character, talent, and spine. But they all whine.

These leftists have plenty of mouth as our ladies of color (a racist statement) display every day. They are having their “fifteen minutes of fame” and are enjoying every minute of it while the rest of America must suffer through their shrill caterwauling—as offensive as fingernails on a chalkboard.

But then, that’s called democracy. They earned their right to be wrong, pushy, loud, and obnoxious.

The Book of Revelation tells of four allegorical horsemen, known as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse riding different colored horses (white, red, black, and pale) that represent pestilence, war, famine, and death. But Congresswomen Cortez, Omar, Tlaib, and Pressley are all riding red horses. The ladies’ speeches and public statements would make Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, and Joseph Stalin all stand up and cheer with gusto. Furthermore, if their political policies become law, we will experience pestilence, war, famine, and death or worse.

The four ladies are ladies of color but their true color is red. They are red with rage and red in philosophy and if they continue to gain power, America will become impotent, insignificant, and maybe irrelevant.

Congresswoman Cortez (former bartender) from New York defeated a ten-term white congressman using racism and ageism to replace him. She attacked him saying he deserved to be replaced by her on “ideological, generational, and racial grounds.” Since it worked for her, she is now using the racist slander every third statement she makes to get her way.

Cortez has charged that immigrant children in border detention are drinking water from toilets and contemporary America is “garbage.”

The more she talks, the bigger Trump’s win in 2020.

Cortez’s most recent bellowing claims that “Palestinians have no choice but to riot against Israel” and agreed that Israel is “criminal.”

She has suggested that the detention facilities at our southern border are “concentration camps.” I delight in hearing her speak because she reminds me of a mediaeval court jester playing the fool to the delight of the court.

Cortez has lived with her lover, Riley Roberts in an apartment since both graduated from the prestigious Boston University. So the woman of color is a fornicator. There, I’ve said it since no one else will.

Cortez’s comrade-in-arms is Representative Ilhan Omar, Democrat from Minnesota. Omar has said that Jews run the world and she keeps her foot (left one of course) constantly in her mouth. She is anti-Israel and anti-Semitic and has refused to apologize for declaring that some Israel-friendly Congress people owed “allegiance to a foreign country.” Even a few Democrats identified the statement as “vile.”

Cowardly house members refused to censure Omar for her unfair, unprovoked, and unpopular accusation. Instead, those paragons of hypocrisy decided not to condemn Omar but to condemn all forms of hatred. Not having to criticize Omar was an act of cowardice, not principle.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, “Omar last week refused to answer whether she would denounce al Qaeda terrorists.” Say what! A member of Congress refuses to renounce terrorist groups!

Omar also supported Cortez’s claim of concentration camps on our southern border and really lost her marbles when she said illegal aliens have a right to taxpayer-funded abortions!

Omar has refused to clear up her problems with her marriage. She is alleged to have married her brother as a ruse to get him into America from Somalia. She tried to clear her murky marriage mess but made it worse when she admitted that she and Ahmed Hirsi applied for a marriage license but “we never finalized the application and thus were never legally married.” They ended their relationship in 2008 and she “entered into a relationship with a British citizen” (Ahmed Nur Said Elmi) and married him legally in 2009.

Numerous charges have been made that Elmi is actually Omar’s brother whom she married to facilitate his entrance to the U.S. but Omar refuses to clarify the matter.

They were divorced in 2011 “in our faith tradition.” That means they did not get a legal divorce as she admits, saying, “I have yet to legally divorce Ahmed” but am “in the process of doing so.” She added, “Since 2011, I am happy to say that I have been reconciled with Ahmed Hirsi, we have been married in our faith tradition and are raising our family together.” Note, she did not state that she has been legally married to her present “husband.”

A few days ago the Daily Mail revealed that Omar and “the father of her three children – have split.” The article revealed that Omar has “moved into a penthouse apartment in one of Minneapolis’s trendiest neighborhoods.” When Hirsi was asked about the split, he replied, “Wow, I can’t comment on that. I’m sorry, I just can’t say anything.”

I guess not, after being married to her and siring three children; although usually a Muslim husband is dominate (boss, overlord, master, superior) but maybe Omar has special status and is an anomaly in Islam—a dominant wife.

Omar also filed joint income tax returns with her husband Ahmed Hirsi while still married to Ahmed Elmi. Obviously, Omar is in deep doo-doo.

As to her “marriage” to her brother, that is still murky and she refuses to provide any clarity. Whatever that relationship, Omar is a fellow fornicator as is Cortez.

Rashida Tlaib is a congresswoman from Michigan. Tlaib is a racist who calls other people racists as when she called Lynne Patton (a black person) a “prop” because she appeared in the gallery while the debate was going on as to whether or not Trump is a racist. Tlaib was also photographed with a Palestinian activist who praised Hezbollah and declared Israel has no right to exist.

Furthermore, Tlaib tried to rewrite history by suggesting Muslim leaders had offered Jews a “safe” haven from the Holocaust. Evidently, she has never seen photos of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem visiting with Hitler. I presume Tlaib is familiar with WWII.

Representative Rashida Tlaib said she doesn’t regret using obscene language about Trump when she vowed to “impeach the motherf***er.” It seems our ladies of color are vile, vulgar, and vicious Representatives.

Representative Ayanna Pressley is a Democrat from the Peoples’ Republic of Massachusetts whose claim to fame is her statement, “We don’t need any more black faces that don’t want to be a black voice.” She was saying that Blacks who didn’t reflect her positions are not legitimate. Now THAT’S racism and insulting to all Conservative Blacks. She said that minorities need to have a “seat at the table” and said it was time to “shake that table.”

Well, from my balanced, informed, and unprejudiced point of view, I think the minorities own and control the table and too many white people of power are fearful of challenging them since minorities are considered to be “entitled” people.

The four ladies of color are irresponsible, irrepressible, and ignorant people who should be, well tending bar or serving tables, not making laws in a still-free Republic.

But they got the votes, so they can saddle up and giddy-up but true patriots will see that they have a very rough ride and hopefully get bucked off their red, high horses.
