    That's Trump Loyalty Day.
    ah right, so American self-fellating Loyalty Day

    "Despite some initial alarm on Twitter, Loyalty Day is not unique to President Trump. In fact, it's been around for decades.

    In 1955 Congress passed a resolution designating May 1 of that year as Loyalty Day. It was the height of McCarthyism and an anti-Communist red scare in America. A Christian Science Monitor article from the time said the congressional resolution

    was "aimed at off-setting Communist May Day rallies around the world."

    Three years later, Congress weighed in again to make it an annual affair, "set aside as a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States of American and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom."

    It called for president to sign a proclamation each year calling for the display of the American flag and inviting observances at schools and "other suitable places."

    America right the top for World Champion Self-Deluding Nation

    "freedom"? 50M poor people on or near public assistance? how "free" is anyone in poverty?

    America is ed and un able, and the oligarchy/Repugs are relentlessly ing the lower 89% harder, wider, deeper, irreversibly.

    Mexicans with disdain for America, limited opportunity due to an abundance of low skilled illegals and legal immigrants, and lower iq level. Bombard them with your big government solutions and just like that we have turned the country into a hole.

    Unpopular to discuss but even after multiple generations in America the average iq of Hispanics is only about 92. One hypothesis is there is so many of them they don't have to integrate. Another is tied to financial opportunity which handicapped by the ever increasing amount of low skilled workers in era with less demand then the past. Another is the genetic factor. Regardless it's a factor.

    We should thank California for being the blueprint for Liberal lunacy. Something we can point to as the low bar for improvement. We should also thank them for our growing Conservative base due to their inep ude.

    a troll apes a new spin on decades old attempts at social darwinism using lethargic stats with no baseline (what is the average American IQ-98 by the way, how are the tests given, are there cultural biases. etc.?) and you want him to discuss genetic factors (when research to date, has only isolated about 5% of the genetic pathways linked to intelligence)? good luck with that.

    No, Trump is the one that keeps lowering the bar

    Hypothesis of difference in genes. It's not a certainty. White Americans saw tremendous iq growth throughout the 20th century. We should lock low skilled immigration down and get rid of illegals. Give legal Americans a chance to integrate and better financial opportunity.

    I'm not saying there is certainly a genetic factor. If you don't think there is a difference currently then it pointless to discuss. However if you do think there is a difference then genetic or not the best path forward is to control illegals and restrict low skilled immigrants for awhile.

    Until you can find a way to raise their average IQ through your genetics?

    pretty much the standard fare of the alt-right at the moment. that is, the racism du jour is the atavistic "scientific racism" which was resuscitated by nicholas wade. another favorite piece of "scientific" literature is 'the bell curve". scientific research has yet to provide any evidence for any significant cognitive advances in humans since human migration from africa and yet alt-right logic is trying to push this notion that genetics and an unwillingness to assimilate are re ing the intelligence of immigrants and impoverished persons of color.

    So there is currently no iq gap?

    You want smart people digging ditches?

    Or did you lose your job to a low IQ immigrant?

    I don't get your gripe

    Aren't the so called liberals increasingly conservative in a very leftist way?

    You need to back up the 92 number if you're gonna throw it out there.
