First, as a motorsports type guy, I had no idea the magnitude of what this kneeling protest was doing to business in my neighborhood until I purchased a pizza yesterday. The store manager stated that she was only having one cook work over the weekend because the normal football crowd was not watching the games, therefore not ordering pizza. People apparently don't want politics mixed with their football. The backlash has apparently kicked in, and it means boycotting the NFL. <br /><br />Secondly, globalism has been what has kept us out of World War III. The minute Donald Trump began running on a platform involving nationalism, speaking of taking the US out of certain long-term alliances and trade agreements, (that the United States had actually initiated) I realized that there would be profound reactions, setting off similar nationalism on the part of other large nations. That this is being set off by the preferred political party of Armstrongism is ironic to say the least! They always used to say that if a Republican president were elected, it meant God had given them more time to finish "the work". And, of course, these days, "the work" is all but invisible.<br /><br />And last, although the Nazi Steve Bannon has been banished and has gone back to his beloved Breitbart, his influence on his constituency has not waned. The move of many Republican voters away from mainstream and towards alt.right appears to be on autopilot and gaining steam, even as President Trump has reached out to the Democrats whom he needs to move his policies forward. <br /><br />Looks like we're in for some rough sailing for the near future as American politics has transitioned from moderate to radical. The so-called Tea Party didn't go away. It has morphed into something far worse.<br /><br />BB<br /><br />Byker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.com
