Dan R. Dockham

I was born in February 1947. When I was born: 17 states had "Jim Crow" laws authorizing legal segregation of hotels, restaurants, and other places of business, along with segregated schools, hospitals, transportation, pools, phone booths, cinemas, beaches, and even water fountains. Jackie Robinson hadn't yet become the first black man to integrate major league baseball. 30 states had laws forbidding inter-racial marriages. 10 states had voter literacy tests. 6 states had poll taxes. Black people were excluded from many skilled trades and government positions. All branches of the military enforced racial segregation. More than 100 lynchings of black men were still to come. It was eight years before Rosa Parks was arrested for riding in the front of the bus. Federal and local policies (redlining, restrictive covenants, FHA underwriting rules) and private practice kept neighborhoods segregated and limited Black homeownership. I had graduated from high school before the passage of the Civil Rights Act. So I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear some 25-year-old saying "This redistricting ruling is just like Jim Crow" … yeah, no. It's not. I lived through the real thing, and while racism still exists, it is NOTHING like the institutional, pervasive, common, unquestioned punitive racism of my youth. To me, the change in the racial relationships in the US in my lifetime is nothing short of astounding … or at least it was until we elected Obama. I voted for him the first time, hoping that this would seal the deal and put racism in its grave. Instead, he fomented and supported racism, pushing hatred between the races, advocating for DEI villainization, backing BLM and the "Hands Up Don't Shoot" hoax, and claiming that white people were the cause of all of the suffering of black people. And astoundingly, he and his wife are still pushing that same line. The US has given them everything—fame, fortune, power … and they're using it to tell us just how hard their lives are. Seriously? Sorry. They live better than 99.999% of the planet. They have zero to complain about. I've seen real racism, up close and personal … and this ain't it. So let us continue to work through this most contentious issue, but let us start from the fact that we have come immensely far, that we've been amazingly successful in getting rid of virtually all organized and institutional racism, and that unlike the ugly reality of my youth, racism is now ILLEGAL in the US. I've worked all over the world—Africa, Asia, Europe, Central and South America, Australia, the Pacific islands, and I will tell you that of the 35 countries I've worked in or visited, the US is one of the least racist countries of all. As I said, it doesn't mean there's no racism … but please, let's attack what's left from a position of previous huge success, not from a position of failure. In the hopes of better times and better understandings between the races, I remain, Yr. Obdt. Svt., w.

BREAKING: 16-year-old Texas student Marco Hunter-Lopez just EXPOSED how his high school censored conservative values while openly promoting Sharia Law. His Republican Student Club faced much of the same that many of our chapters do; months of delays, poster removals, and hostile interrogations. Yet the organization known as "Why Islam" got free rein during lunch to hand out "Understanding Shariah" pamphlets and Qurans with conversion cards while administrators watched and did nothing. The principal even bragged about loving World Hijab Day. In America, conservative students should not be castigated and harassed while Muslims and Islam promoted freely. This is an inversion of the social compact and it must be stopped.

A while ago, I watched the infamous 47-minute video documenting the atrocities of October 7th — the one not made publicly available, to protect the privacy of the victims. The worst part of this video is not what it displays, but who is displaying it: the perpetrators themselves. Gleefully. Sadistically. Unabashedly. Most of the footage was filmed by Hamas terrorists on their GoPro bodycams, some also by ordinary Gazan civilians on their cellphones. Even the Nazis tried to cover up their atrocities, but Hamas brags about theirs for the entire world to see. The killers are euphoric throughout the massacre, and their relentless, ecstatic cries of "Allahu Akbar" (punctuated by the occasional "Kill the Jew!") are simply nauseating. Some images are seared into my memory forever. I will never forget the two boys in their underwear — one with his eye socket hanging out of his face — asking his brother whether he thinks they're going to die, while the Hamas monster who had just thrown a grenade in their saferoom helps himself to a drink from their fridge, taking a casual break from the slaughter. Neither will I ever forget the terrorists playing football with a severed head. Or the Thai migrant worker whose head is viciously hacked off with a garden hoe — another "Zionist colonizer" getting what he deserved, right?quillette.substack.com/p/what-did-you… Or the throngs of Gazans crowding around pickup trucks loaded with the mutilated corpses of Jewish women, filming and spitting on the bodies. Or the woman in Kibbutz Mefalsim, crouching and begging in vain for mercy. There is some evidence of sexual violence in the video — the charred corpse of a young woman with her legs splayed and her genitals exposed — but not much. Apparently even Hamas draws a line somewhere: they are not as proud of raping Jewish women as they are of murdering them. Or, more likely, they simply didn't want to embarrass the delicate sensibilities of their legions of useful idiots in the West. But yes — there was rape. Not "rape" in scare quotes, as the apologists would have it, but sadistic, murderous sexual violence, documented in a new damning new report by The Civil Commission, an independent Israeli women's rights NGO. (video summary here: youtube.com/watch?v=K7fJuz…) Across its 180 pages, the report describes "a recurring pattern of rape and gang rape; sexual torture; mutilation; targeted shooting to the face, head and genital area; forced nudity; binding and restraint; genital burning; objects inserted into intimate areas; post-mortem sexual humiliation; and execution during or after sexual assault." And it was premeditated and organized. The terrorists crossing into Israel carried printed Arabic-to-Hebrew phrasebooks with handy expressions like "take off your pants," "lie down," "spread your legs," and "don't make trouble." I wonder why they expected to need those particular phrases? I know one thing: no civilized country on earth would tolerate the existence of an organization like Hamas on its border after October 7th. Not one. This includes every self-righteous Westerner currently lecturing Israel from thousands of kilometres away, without an inch of skin in the game. dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Le capitalisme sort les gens de la pauvreté. Et uniquement ça. Mais c'est la seule chose qui compte vraiment. Imagine 100 gamins qui doivent traverser la France pour aller voir leur grand-mère malade. En 1800, ils sont tous à pied. Égaux. Sauf que la moitié n'arrivera jamais. Maladie, épuisement, accident. Les autres mettront 3 semaines. C'est ça, "l'égalité" qu'on regrette. Arrive le capitalisme. Les plus malins fabriquent des charrettes. Puis des trains. Puis des voitures. Puis des avions. Puis Elon Musk lance SpaceX et bosse sur des fusées qui feront Paris-Tokyo en 40 minutes. À chaque étape, l'écart se creuse entre celui qui peut payer le mieux et celui qui prend le moins cher. Toujours. Et à chaque étape, le moins cher d'aujourd'hui est mieux que le plus cher d'hier. Un SMICard en 2026 prend un vol Ryanair Paris-Marseille pour 30 balles. Louis XIV, l'homme le plus puissant de France, mettait 5 jours en carrosse pour faire le même trajet, en risquant de mourir d'une infection à l'arrivée. Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui voyage mieux que le roi d'hier. Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui mange mieux que le roi d'hier (le scorbut était fréquent à Versailles). Le pauvre d'aujourd'hui a accès à plus d'informations en 10 secondes sur son téléphone que toutes les bibliothèques royales d'Europe réunies en 1700. Et là arrive le socialiste. Il regarde Elon Musk dans sa fusée et dit : "C'est scandaleux. Il faut taxer." Il ne regarde pas le SMICard dans son Ryanair. Il ne regarde pas le gamin du Bangladesh qui sort de la pauvreté extrême parce qu'il bosse pour une usine textile qui exporte en Europe. Il regarde le sommet. Et il appelle ça "lutter contre les inégalités". Voilà l'arnaque intellectuelle. Parce que ce qu'il appelle "réduire les inégalités", c'est en réalité empêcher le bateau de monter pendant qu'il fait semblant de baisser le yacht. Les chiffres sont là, indiscutables. En 1800, 90% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 8%. Cette chute, c'est la plus grande victoire morale de l'histoire humaine. Elle n'a pas été produite par une révolution. Pas par un programme d'État. Pas par un manifeste. Elle a été produite par des gens qui avaient le droit de créer, de vendre, de garder ce qu'ils gagnaient, et de réinvestir. Et c'est précisément ce moteur que la bureaucratie socialiste a capturé en France. Le mécanisme est simple. Le capitalisme produit la richesse. Puis l'État arrive, prend 57% du PIB, redistribue une partie, et te dit : "Tu vois, sans moi tu n'aurais rien." Comme si le boulanger devait remercier le mec qui lui pique la moitié de sa fournée chaque matin. Pire : il interdit progressivement aux gens de créer cette richesse. Il étouffe les boîtes naissantes sous les normes, les charges, les autorisations, les CDI à vie, les seuils à 50 salariés. Puis il s'étonne que la croissance soit nulle. Et il en conclut qu'il faut taxer encore plus. C'est exactement ce qu'a décrit Hayek en 1944. Un pays qui confond "égalité de résultat" et "justice" finit toujours par devenir plus pauvre et moins libre. La France est le cas d'école. Pendant ce temps, en Pologne, en Estonie, en Irlande, à Singapour, ils ont fait l'inverse. Bas impôts, droit de propriété solide, État léger. Résultat : ils nous rattrapent ou nous dépassent en niveau de vie en 30 ans. Le capitalisme n'est pas un système qui crée des riches. C'est un système qui détruit la pauvreté. Et la seule raison pour laquelle on en doute encore en France, c'est qu'on a délégué le discours économique à des gens dont le métier est de vivre de l'argent des autres.

OBAMA: THE GREAT DIVIDER. Before Barack Obama, American politics was largely fought around POLICY. Taxes. Wars. Healthcare. The economy. Foreign policy. Americans could disagree politically and still live side by side without seeing each other as enemies. Then Obama entered the scene and the entire battlefield changed. Politics stopped being ONLY about policy and became about IDEOLOGY, IDENTITY, and CULTURE. And because he was the “First Black President,” a new shield emerged around political discourse: “Tolerance.” Question certain narratives? You were racist. Disagree with progressive social agendas? You were hateful. Criticize media bias? You were dangerous. This was the era where: ➡️ Identity politics exploded. ➡️ DEI-style thinking started spreading through institutions. ➡️ Political correctness tightened around speech. ➡️ Universities became ideological factories. ➡️ Social activism merged with corporations and entertainment. ➡️ The media stopped pretending to be neutral referees. At first, the lines were blurry. Many Americans tolerated it because they didn’t fully see where the country was heading yet. Then came President Trump. And the system PANICKED. Because for the first time in years, someone walked into Washington who didn’t care about elite approval. He didn’t speak their language. He didn’t follow their rules. He disrupted the machine. The moment they realized President Trump would not “go with the flow,” all hell broke loose. Look at what they threw at him during his first term: ➡️ Russia collusion accusations for years. ➡️ Endless media smears. ➡️ FBI investigations. ➡️ Impeachments. ➡️ Leaks from inside government agencies. ➡️ Corporate media coordination against him. ➡️ Big Tech censorship. ➡️ Constant comparisons to dictators and Nazis. ➡️ Open hostility from Hollywood, academia, and bureaucracies. Then AFTER 2020, it escalated even further: ➡️ Criminal prosecutions. ➡️ Court battles. ➡️ Attempts to remove him from ballots. ➡️ Lawfare. ➡️ Coordinated efforts to politically destroy not just President Trump - but his supporters too. Why? Because President Trump did something dangerous to the establishment: He CLARIFIED the divide. He exposed that this was never just Democrat vs Republican. It was radical ideological transformation vs traditional American values. Then Joe Biden came in and removed all doubt about where the Democrats were headed. Open borders. Gender ideology pushed everywhere. Aggressive censorship pressure. Weaponized institutions. Cultural radicalism. Government overreach disguised as “protecting democracy.” And Americans rejected it. That’s why President Trump came back. Now the media says President Trump is “polarizing.” No. He simply forced the country to choose sides instead of hiding behind vague slogans and fake neutrality. The lines are no longer blurry. This is no longer just about tax rates or spending bills. This is now a battle of VALUES, CIVILIZATION, and MORAL DIRECTION. Governments will come and go. Policies will change. Presidents will rise and fall. But the ideological divide is here to stay because darkness cannot coexist comfortably with light. The line has been drawn. Choose which side you're on and don't be distracted if you're a Conservative.

Over 2 million Palestinians are living in Israel right now with the same rights and freedoms as their neighbors. Take the weapons from the terrorists this would be over, take the weapons from Israel you would have a true genocide on your hands!!!! Gaslighting to defend terrorists! Please take off your bed sheet!!!

@drdockham @HasanEssam29636 So, take those fingers you and every other defender of genocide points at Hamas bogeymen as the reason for those murders and shove every last one of them up your disingenuous ass. 5/5

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

@JohnFugelsang No shit, we haven’t had one of those since Ronald Reagan!!!!

No don’t trust any of the dems and if you really think this is only about Israel you live under a rock. I don’t understand how kicking a country’s butt that has spent millions to help kill thousands of Americans, wants America eliminated and fully intends to get a nuclear weapon isn’t good for America! Trump does more harm with his dumb ass tweets and comments then this war has.

@drdockham @saltybathx365 @kevinUSA100 And ensures MAGA loses once and for all and the DEMS get in stronger but i'm guessing that doesn't bother you as long as they are pro-Israel DEMS?

I voted for Trump three times and believe he won all three elections. After decades of betrayal by the DC establishment, I supported him as an outsider who promised to focus on America’s problems and take on the elites. In his first term, we believed he was derailed by the Russia hoax, impeachments, and the COVID pandemic, so we stuck with him. After what we saw as the stolen 2020 election, we fought harder and helped bring him back. In the first three months of his second term, he was doing exactly what we hoped for — shutting the border, with ICE deporting illegals aggressively, while Musk and the DOGE team exposed hundreds of billions in federal waste and fraud. Then, suddenly, he made a complete 180-degree turn and became part of the very swamp he once vowed to drain. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter whether the candidate is an insider or an outsider. What matters is who owns him and who’s pulling his strings.

@Fall_Ambition @jeremyct Being an owner or general manager is not an entry level job! Not at all what was being described. Entrepreneurial skills are an other way to be successful!

@drdockham @jeremyct I mean, plenty of people make a living off of fast food restaurants. Especially when you think ASMs GMs or being a hands on owner. Hell, look up what franchising a chick-fil-a could get you. Busy locations net around 240k-420k in net profit for the owner. Just looked it up.

around me, places like Chipotle and Chick-fil-A are hiring at about $19/hour. full time that’s roughly $3,300/month before taxes. after taxes you’re probably taking home around $2,900. average one bedroom apartment? close to $1,900. so most of your paycheck disappears just keeping a roof over your head. and somehow people still call this a “budgeting problem.” working full time shouldn’t feel like survival mode.

@ClockworkAvatar @jeremyct The shortage of nurses, emts and paramedics is huge. We also need more electrions, plumbers and primary care providers. There is plenty if you want to work hard enough

@drdockham @jeremyct there are not enough "skilled labor" jobs for everyone who needs a job. especially now when lots of those skill labors jobs are being automated.

@HouseofElon @JoyceWhiteVance No that is acting, he showed his true personality disorder more recently

@JoyceWhiteVance Are they though? Because here’s the real Justin Pearson:

As punishment? These are the people’s elected representatives.

@JoyceWhiteVance Yes, act like a bunch of irrational idiots instead of adults you don’t even belong in the building

@RossKneeDeep That would be the Democratic Party son!!!!!

Please stop telling me to get off the Democrat Plantation, when my only alternative is to vote for a party endorsed by the KKK, the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers.

@BrianEastwoodx And so what you propose I vote for a bunch of commies and socialist who are just as bad or worse!!

I can say this with full confidence: the entire conservative industrial complex would be against the Founding Fathers. How do I know? Because they’re all against Thomas Massie! The one congressman closest to their actual principles.

@saltybathx365 @kevinUSA100 No I’m tucked in here comfortably in good old fucked up Minnesota!!!

@drdockham @kevinUSA100 Oh…I see you now. You’re posting from Israel.

@glenn_tunes You never really listened to him did you!!!

CHARLIE KIRK WAS NOT A FUCKING NATIONAL HERO 🤬 HE WAS A SHITTY FAR RIGHT EXTREMIST PODCASTER WHO SPREAD HATRED LIES AND PRO RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA 🤬😤

@Harvarddoc32 Could someone actually show me where they took away someone’s right to vote? Seriously, no one has ever mentioned that legal citizens can’t vote! You just have to vote in a different district, exactly like rural Americans have been forced to do for years in blue states!!!

Word is Out!

@saltybathx365 @kevinUSA100 What current dumpster fire? The war in Iran was a genius move, if that’s what you’re talking about! Eliminating-that threat makes this world so much safer!!!

@drdockham @kevinUSA100 You’re not totally wrong. But to pretend to be fine with the current dumpster fire situation is willful ignorance. We’ve been betrayed. And it SUCKS. People have a right to be pissed.

@Blowjoe46 @kevinUSA100 You’re eating that mainstream media dribble and you’re calling me an idiot, ok!!!

@drdockham @kevinUSA100 “ Worse” is what you’re about to experience in the remainder of his term. Idiot.
