    Default Facing deaths of despair from the depths of despair in West Virginia

    By CLAY MARSH JULY 12, 2018

    How can this be happening? Didn't trump say all those coal jobs would be coming back and the people would get so tired of winning, instead they are dying of Opioids, driven by despair

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    Libs chased Pruitt out before he could solve the problem.

    Yes Dems made him treat his job like a piggy bank. I don't know how Dems do that to Repubs, but it has to be their fault. How was Pruitt going to solve the job loss due to automation? I forgot. Blame Obama. It would work on you.

    There are parts of this country that I feel MORE concern and frankly sympathy for than others. I'm in an area that can HOLD IT'S OWN. Could be better. For sure. But we have a pretty VARIED economy with some depth and breadth of industry, still a fair amount of military presence aiding the economy and a reasonably educated (could be better) workforce. Still too much reliance on service sector jobs as far as I am concerned but it is Florida and we are still a GROWTH state.

    I don't think WV shares that depth of skill sets, industry, and certainly not outlook. I remember coal people being interviewed in the last election when TRUMP LIED THROUGH HIS ASS TO THEM and I heard them with my own ears say that GOD had provided them jobs and living from the earth for a century and he would again.

    I knew these people were SCREWED.

    Oh please, ... like a typical arrogant lib elitist ... you take any opportunity to mock the poor and working class ... as your inferiors.
    "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
    — Joe Biden on Obama.

    Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.

    D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.

    Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

    Why don’t you direct that comment to your fellow racists when they refer to inner city minorities?

    They're Trumpanzees. Of course, they're that stupid.
    RINO is the term for that rare Republican who puts country above party.

    Right wing = lie, lie, and lie some more.


    "When I am president I'm going to be working for you. I'm not going to have time to play golf" Donald J. Trump, world class snake oil salesman and compulsive golfer August 2016

    The definition of "racist" as "anyone who is white" is itself racist.

    West Virginia isn't alone ..

    Trump’s Trade War Is a Big Problem for Republicans in Politically Pivotal Iowa

    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    Trump lies, people die.
    "2Timothy 3 "But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away"
