A white supremacist symbol.
There are many troubles and tribulations currently plaguing our society. Pandemic disease, much racial unrest, severe economic collapse, starvation, etc. but the worst of the worst, possibly, is that Orange County’s John Wayne Airport is actually named after John Wayne.
Triggered?
Obviously.
Thankfully, Orange County’s Democratic Party is on the case.
The Democratic Party of Orange County this week demanded in a resolution for John Wayne’s name, statue and other likenesses be removed from the local airport.
The document cites “a national movement to remove white supremacist symbols and names is reshaping American institutions, monuments, businesses, nonprofits, sports leagues and teams, as it is widely recognized that racist symbols produce lasting physical and psychological stress and trauma particularly to Black communities, people of color and other oppressed groups, and the removal of racist symbols provides a necessary process for communities to remember historic acts of violence and recognize victims of oppression.”
It clarified that there are “numerous calls” to remove John Wayne’s namesake from the airport due to his “white supremacist, anti-LGBT, and anti-indigenous views.”
Boom.
And so the next time you want to fly in to Orange County to surf San Diego County’s Trestles you won’t have to be humiliated and enraged.
Happy?
Duh.
Also, did you know that John Wayne’s True Grit is basically BeachGrit.

Is your thought that all the surgeons and dentists out there that have been wearing masks for decades have been working under cognitively impaired conditions? What about all the researchers in labs, how about people that work around toxic chemicals?? My thought, if a neurosurgeon can spend 8 hours straight operating on someone wearing a mask without passing out, I can probably wear my mask for the 20 minutes it takes me to do my grocery shopping.
I also notice that many of the same people who demand the right to not wear a mask and possibly infect someone else in the name of freedom, are the same people who wanted laws in place to arrest kids for wearing their pants too low.
I do agree with the idea that once everyone said protesting was more important than social distancing, they lost the moral high ground to call other people idiots for not following the protocols. But from where I’m sitting that just makes two groups of idiots.
That would be great! Pepper the airport with his creepy clown paintings.
It’s lodged in there tight.
You sure bout that pilgrim

Why is that significant?
What does the airport name have to do with surfing?
The shark porn is an acceptable way to panhandle for clicks, and as evidenced by some of the other articles entirely necessary.
But these “articles” that are intended to trigger the mouth breathers into a political/racist-adjacent comment orgy are lame.
I get that these clicks and enraged-engaged probably pays for Chas morning vodkas and Derek’s silk thongs but other sites do it better.
The airport is in OC and Trestles adjacent. I think that makes it relevant. I’ve not read the comments yet.. I’m in for a fun ride aren’t I?
If you and Chas say that this airport is Trestles relevant, ok I’ll consider it so.
If you think the OC = heartland of an imploding surf industry, ok I guess the airport is “surf” relevant.
I stand by my thoughts on the vodka and thongs.
haha don’t listen to me! But definitely as it’s near the taint of surf culture in the states, I’d say relevant.
Ok, so next time you have surgery tell the doctors and nurses to not wear makes for their own safety.
OC punks figured this out 30 years ago!

Don’t worry about China , they own us because we let them buy us!
If its not in Derek’s book it didn’t happen
haha ….now we are getting some where , if it doesn’t come from one of your sources it doesn’t count…Bob Hawke was a scumbag , lower than Donald as the Don just fantasizes over Ivanka……Bob let his daughter be raped…maybe in your world that’s ok and not relevant in todays moral discussions
You take on supposed facts very easily.
no I research everything that matters…are you saying Bob didn’t let his daughter get raped by his Union mte?
I find that highly unlikely
