The New American Protest Anthem?

 

WNU editor: I do not post music on this blog. But WOW! The passion, lyrics, and message .... it is all there in this American protest song. 

A taste on what to expect .... 

“I wish politicians would look out for miners And not just minors on an island somewhere”  

Wow that’s a powerful lyric!  

Update: You know an artist is genuine when he/she believes it is all about the music, and not the image/money/and fame .... 'Rich Men North of Richmond' Artist Turns Down $8 Million From Stunned Music Execs, Says "Nothing Special About Me" (Zero Hedge).

Hey WNU Ed, you're not as bad as I thought you were. I always thought you were spoiled and la-di-da, but maybe you've got some grit in you still. Tell the truth and make the change.

Moscow has shut down four major civilian airports following a reported Ukrainian drone strike Friday.
This comes amid an increase in Ukrainian drone strikes on Russia's capital and other regions.
Meanwhile, a city in northern Ukraine is recovering after a Russian missile killed at least seven people and injured 90.

"THE PURGE: Vadim Boyko, a Russian colonel with ties to Putin, and who was involved in this autumn's mass mobilization, has "committed suicide" in his office in Vladivostosk. Col. Boyko is reported to have shot himself five times with his service pistol."

Russians are amazing. They are probably the only people on the Earth, who can consistently shoot themselves 5 times to commit suicide.

Not 3
Not 4
Not 6

but consistently 5 times.

If you can’t see that for the BS it most likely is, you may as well go ahead and five time yourself.

Good song. As usual the MSM attacks it, again isolating 50%+ of the population. Oh and we are armed. Judging from todays military FJB can send them in and they will probably run away at the first shot. And those F-16's FJB talks are old and can't keep up the pace.
