  1. “Alcoa can’t wait…”

    Oh my God. Alcoa makes Aluminum bud. Yellow metals have become a real battle ground. The Chinese have been trying their best to collect ALL OF IT. And for eight years Obama helped them anyway he could. Trump slammed on the brakes. Yellow metal, brass, bronze, copper, and gold are strategic to our defense. Brass and Bronze are ridiculously expensive. Silver will be next.

  2. I’m a fukkin native American – I was born in Illinois.
    She was an Indian – Cherokee, Choctaw, Apache, Blackfoot, Shawnee – whatever.
    Respect her heritage, if you must ethnically delineate, but don’t muddy the water.

  3. Sorry, I don’t respect your ‘heritage’. Your ancestors were conquered and I see no reason to respect that. No one should be respected, nor disrespected, for something that happened as an accident of birth. You had nothing to do with it.

  4. When they get the perp, do the same thing to him as what happened to the statue. Because … Justice!
    Not kidding.

    Perfect example of barbarians within the gates, and destroying civilization.
