The Rioting for Pay Work Ethic

in order to learn a work ethic. For starters, the communist labor system
did not allow for remunerated child employment of any sort, at any age.
It was not that hard work was for tractors like American smart-alecky
youth say nowadays. There were no teenage jobs to be had. But we learned
plenty about work ethic when we helped our families survive and
maintain a meager place to live.

landslide,” Cahn said. “The Democrats prepared for victory. The
Republicans prepared for defeat … but then something happened. And
nobody was sure what exactly what. The election took a strange turn and
whatever everybody was sure couldn’t happen, happened. The media was in
shock. The Democrats were in shock. Obama was in shock. The Republicans
were in shock. Obama was in shock. And it appears Donald Trump couldn’t
believe it happened, either.

hope Trump initiates criminal investigations into at least some of the
anti-American hucksters and mafia bosses who ran his regime (Lois
Lerner, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, etc).
