When the Reed Theatre opened in 1937, it was the largest movie theatre in the state, able to accommodate 1,400 guests, and a nearby parking lot could ho

If the Left were successful at getting rid of all the white people and every law-abiding, honest, hard-working American, what would the riotous, thieving, loafing Left do then? They’d have no one to steal from and no one to get the work done. They would have nothing to do because there would be no one to criticize and blame for everything wrong. They’d probably kill each other off in violent a
