These historical videos are important to watch so we can understand the intent at which these policies were passed so when we talk about it in modern times we can accurately describe what is meant through its passage and see if it needs updating or changed to adjust to the times. This is a great speech and everyone should watch it

Strengthening Russia and China has challenged US dominance in the geopolitical landscape. With the increase in the bellicose, military and economic power of these superpowers and their allies, the US runs the risk of becoming dependent on war. Faced with this reality, it is crucial that the United States rethink its strategies and prepare to face the challenges, otherwise, they can become subservient 🤔.

Just remember in states like Florida, Texas, Alabama, and many more this historic speech and the events that precluded it will no longer be taught to school children becasue it could be classified as CRT AKA uncomfortable truths that spark conversation. Imagine an entire generation of American children that will never know about their nations true history all because their parents don't want to deal with the questions they may have about life. We have truly become soft as a country. People ask whats killing our nation? Well, our refusual to learn from the past certainly doesnt help.

We have five TOTALLY ILLEGITIMATE "justices" on the court that were appointed by "presidents" who initially or totally lost the popular vote. They DO NOT have the will, honor, standing or backing of a majority or even plurality of the American people. They are POLITICIANS in robes.

Astonishing how many of you Americans don’t fully appreciate how important Johnson specifically was to the Civil Rights Act. No he did not just finish what JFK started. The bill was doomed to death in the Senate, just as plenty of iterations had been previously. His unique powers of persuasion, skills, and relationships saw the filibuster end. This is not to say he was a perfect man, far from it. There was his treatment of Lady Bird, Vietnam, casual and habitual sexual and verbal harassment, racist language, and more. I highly highly recommend Robert Caro’s biographies of Lyndon Johnson (yes there are more than one). They will give incredible insight into the most interesting President certainly of modern times.

I mostly agree with you. I would argue however that Johnson was a true believer and effective tool of civil rights. The civil rights movement managed to convince both LBJ and Harry Truman to support civil rights. Two racist southerners with massive practical power to help or hinder civil rights.

Lyndon B. Johnson (D) At the time of Kennedy’s assassination, U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War remained fairly limited. But that changed in August 1964, when the so-called Gulf of Tonkin incident prompted Congress to grant expansive war-making powers to newly installed President Lyndon B. Johnson. Recognizing that the South Vietnamese government and army were on the verge of collapse, Johnson sent the first U.S. combat troops into battle in early 1965. He simultaneously authorized a massive bombing campaign, codenamed Operation Rolling Thunder, that would continue unabated for years. Draft calls soon skyrocketed-along with draft resistance-and by 1967 there were around 500,000 U.S. troops in Vietnam. That same year, large anti-war demonstrations popped up in cities across America. U.S. officials kept insisting that victory was imminent. But, as the Pentagon Papers would later reveal, these comments were deeply misleading. In reality, the conflict had devolved into a quagmire. Vietnam became so polarizing, and Johnson’s name became so synonymous with the war effort, that he ultimately decided not to run for re-election in 1968. 1966 - Lyndon B. Johnson expanded the number of troops being sent into Vietnam to 385,000. By 1968, the United States had 548,000 troops in Vietnam and had already lost 30,000 Americans there.

LBJ made clear he wanted it signed on the 4th of July Weekend with the "188 years ago" reference. The legend of Kennedys is really dying. Biden was Ted Kennedy's closest Senate comrade, and shares with the Kennedys an Irish Catholic identity, and he has not signed anything as significant as the Civil Rights Act. LBJ is only getting stronger the more it becomes clear that he was more responsible for the act's success and that the Kennedys were not the godly legends they have often been hyped as. Biden was one of the last hopes for the legacy of the Kennedys, and he has not signed anything as nearly as significant.

Sounds good, as long as momma is cool with it I'm cool with it... Let me figure out how to setup a payment process.. ...if Brittany G. Would have paid the tax maybe she wouldn't have had to sit in that Russian jail for so long... $3k is not much to pay.. schools cost taxpayers millions, librarys cost millions, roads and hywys cost multiple millions, homeless shelters cost millions... Everything costs money, nothing is cheap .. it is not unreasonable to ask drug dealers and prostitutes to pay their fair share in taxes... $3k cash is not asking too much for the freedom to sell pu**y and small amounts of drugs that people are already buying... If we show momma Rome that we can do this and keep the streets clean maybe after enough time Congress can legislate it... In the meantime we can conduct our own experiment.. if we give them a method to pay the tax and avoid arrest it can help keep them from operating in the dark where real criminal activity is dangerous... The girls deserve to operate in a safe environment... That one chick has around $90k in the bank...asking her to pay $3k is not asking much.... Or they can gamble and get arrested and risk having everything confiscated just like any other norml citizen that avoids paying their taxes... Sounds like a good deal to me...and I can still approach God with a clear consious about it....Love you America! This country has been a blessing to everyone living here... We're not asking for much.. just your fair share..
