“Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty and current team owner of the No. 43 Cup Series team of Aric Almirola agrees with Trump.
“Anybody that don’t stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period. What got ’em where they’re at? The United States,” Petty said, adding that any protester within his organization would be fired.”
The President of the Drunken South shot his mouth off, he using foul language to give the impression he is a Drunken Neo-Confederate Rebel – who does not like to pay taxes to the Revenuers, or, set their slaves free! Seceding from the Union by firing cannons at fellow Americans serving in the Armed Forces of the United States of America at Fort Sumpter, was no problem for Lovers of Human Slavery. If their slaves even looked like they were not happy in their work, they were whipped within an inch of their lives.
Our captured forces got a taste of what this feels like during the Bataan Death March. Black were not allowed to fight alongside white soldiers. The Japs treated those who surrendered like the scum of the earth. In 1927, two black football players for the University of Oregon were not allowed to use the locker room. Their game with Florida State was canceled after death threats from the KKK. I think Von Trump is gathering his forces, so when the Feds come to arrest him and his rich children, the South will rise again and come to his defense, brandishing arms! Speaking of rich………….
Hey! When is Bob Buck and his good ol boys down at Alcohol Justice going to take on NASCAR? Bootleggers became race car drivers. Tax Revenuers went after Bootleggers. Draft Dodgers found a haven in the Ozarks. The Underground Railroad allowed slave to flee North and be free of their CAPTORS! What did Confederate Traitors think of Yankee Women? The Japs imprisoned and mistreated American Women. Did they grab them by their pussies – whenever they felt like it? Disrepecting women is not UNPATRIOTIC!
Trump tells a member of the Bush family, from where two Presidents of the United States, hail, that he used new furniture as a enticement to try and “fuck” a married woman.
Have WE had enough?

In January 1944, control of the Santo Tomas Internment Camp changed from Japanese civil authorities to the Imperial Japanese Army, with whom it remained until the camp was liberated.[27] Access to outside food sources was curtailed, the diet of the internees was reduced to 960 calories per person per day by November 1944, and further reduced to 700 calories per person per day by January 1945.[28]
A Department of Veterans Affairs study released in April, 2002 found that the nurses lost, on average, 30% of their body weight during internment, and subsequently experienced a degree of service-connected disability “virtually the same as the male ex-POW’s of the Pacific Theater.”[29] Maude C. Davison’s body weight dropped from 156 lbs. to 80 lbs.[30]

A guy with a souped up car with a 200-gallon moonshine tank, driving his coupe at breakneck speeds through the twisty mountain roads to deliver the ‘shine. Usually at night, and usually with police or revenuers waiting for him. Evading the roadblocks and outrunning the chase was all part of a day’s work to a moonshine runner.
Some accounts say that all early race drivers were involved in bootlegging. That is how at least most of them afforded the fastest and therefore most expensive machines–with their moonshine profits. They ran moonshine down the twisty mountain roads to people during Prohibition. The runners would modify their cars in order to create a faster, more maneuverable vehicle to evade the police. They’d remove the rear and passenger seats to make more room for moonshine, add heavy duty suspensions to the rear of the car to handle the extra weight and add a steel plate in front of the radiator. Many of these changes have influenced the design of the modern stock car.
WASHINGTON — President Trump praised Nascar drivers early Monday morning for not protesting the national anthem on Sunday, continuing his weekend tweet storm against the N.F.L. over the league’s refusal to punish players who knelt or sat during “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

There appeared to be no protests during the national anthem at a Nascar race on Sunday. And Mr. Trump took to Twitter to praise drivers and supporters.
Mr. Trump on Sunday called on fans to boycott professional football games until the league did something to stop players from protesting during “The Star-Spangled Banner,” which is traditionally performed or played at the beginning of athletic events. The president’s request, however, appeared to empower professional football players and team owners, prompting more protests during the anthem at games throughout the day.
Mr. Trump’s decision to take sides on this issue was the latest example of the president’s proclivity for divisiveness.
On Friday, the president used an expletive when he referred to players who protest the national anthem by kneeling or sitting — a trend that started last season to protest racial and social injustice. Mr. Trump was speaking to Republican supporters during a rally for Senator Luther Strange, of Alabama, who is facing a runoff primary election on Tuesday.
Some Nascar owners said on Sunday that they would not condone protests of the national anthem by racers.
In another tweet on Monday morning, Mr. Trump repeated his assertion that his position about protesting the national anthem was not tied to race.
But the protests began in response to a string of police shootings of unarmed African-Americans. A former quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers, Colin Kaepernick, started the trend last year.
The King doesn’t see what all the fuss is about regarding NASCAR’s Confederate flag controversy.
“I think it’s a passing fancy, it will go for a week or two, everybody talks about it, then something else comes up and it will go off the board and nobody will pay any attention to it,” NASCAR icon Richard Petty said during a media availability at Daytona International Speedway, celebrating his 78th birthday on Friday.
Petty may be understating things a bit.
Based on anecdotal evidence and spottings, there were less than 10 Confederate flags in the Daytona Beach International Speedway infield. Speedway officials are offering to exchange any Confederate flags brought in by race fans for an American flag. The exchange is available along the Turn 4 entrance to the infield, and is very much low-key in terms of signage.
“I think it’s appropriate for this country to celebrate the American flag on its birthday,” Daytona Beach International Speedway President Joie Chitwood said. “For us it seems like the right thing do to. From that perspective, I don’t think that’s divisive at all. That’s trying to provide an environment that’s inclusive.
“We have to be thoughtful about what’s next. That’s the process. How do we get to a place where these events can be open, inclusive, and symbols are not the things we talk about.”
On Thursday, NASCAR announced an unprecedented collaboration among the tracks , asking fans to “refrain from displaying the Confederate Flag at our facilities and NASCAR events.”
George Slape, one of the religious leaders in the Hideout Hollow area, was quoted at the time as saying: “The Good Book says, ‘Thou shalt not kill.’ We didn’t want our boys taking nobody’s life. It ain’t right cause its contrary to the Bible and the Good Lord’s teachin’s.”
Also, in the South, men who fought in the Civil War were still very much alive in 1917, creating yet another vein of resistance, as politicians argued that conscription was just a further extension of federal power that trampled on the rights of states.
“Then you had some guys who just didn’t want to fight in a European war,” said Cart, with the young men claiming they would fight if Germany invaded the United States, but not until then.

Income-tax revenues accelerated most dramatically in 1918, but the income tax had already demonstrated its prodigious revenue potential the year before. Receipts in 1919 were almost triple those of 1916. More important, Congress passed in October 1917—two months before it successfully proposed the Prohibition-enabling Eighteenth Amendment—the legislation that would yield 1918′s enormous increase in income-tax receipts: the War Revenue Act of 1917. It raised more than $2.3 billion in 1918.
In fact, you’ve even raced some of your fellow bootleggers on these treacherous paths, vying to see who can drive away with bragging rights. You all share the same competitive drive, one that’s fueled by the souped-up vehicles that could show off your abilities. From races on public highways to dirt tracks carved into pastures, stock car racing began to take shape. Born of moonshine runners, it would eventually grow into one of today’s most popular racing circuits: NASCAR.
