          This guy is, not surprisingly, turning heads. He claims “blacks should make reparations too” because, as he tells @FordFischer, “blacks owned slaves, too.” #FourthOfJulypic.twitter.com/LlUP0T0Pok

          At 5, communist Gregory Lee Johnson of Texas v. Johnson fame says he’ll try to burn a flag near the White House. He told media he’d like to “imagine a world without America.” For more, here’s his Wiki article. Making my way there, the rain is letting up.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_Lee_Johnson …
