John Wayne under siege

He may as well have been a Confederate. Since this is happening in Kalifornia it should not take long to rename that airport. This BS has no end in sight.

John Wayne Airport should be renamed, some say, after screen legend’s 1971 Playboy interview sparks controversy

Meanwhile Byrd gets a pass on everything he did related to the KKK.

Damn all of them to Hell that are trying to re-name The Airport. They should all be air dropped in a cozy package in to Syria! See how they like them apples....

Beautiful airport with a great statue of the Duke, but Orange County is no longer run by conservatives.

That Playboy interview is going to bite him in the ass when he runs for office.
...now that this top secret interview has been uncovered, it will probably keep him from ever getting another lead role - his Hollywood days are OVER


I hope the SJW fruitcakes that push this kind of shit choke on a clump of kale when they have their next baby shit colored hippy smoothy.

Meanwhile, I am going to out and buy a new Winchester Model 92 Saddle Ring Carbine with the Larger Loop Lever.

Sad because Orange County is one of the last conservative holdouts in Kalifornia. They'll probably try and rename it after Cesar Chavez.

Per the last election results, it was. Nothing like the "Inland Empire" part of SoCal of my youth. The ballot-box stuffers probably just drifted south & came ashore in the night.

They probably wouldn't want to hear what John Wayne had to say today either.
