The last few days have been controversial, what with the threat of Proud Boys taking over the Metropolitan Club. One aspect of the PB is that while they appeal to the alt right, or far right, or far out, they do not have mainstream GOP support and certainly not Democrat support. And the latter is important.
For while most people think everything is about being a Dem or a GOPer, there are many issues on which the sensible on both sides agree. A nation can't stand divided. The present GOP leadership at the club, while it does oppose many Democrat ideas, is not a divisive entity out to thwart their every move. When Senator Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority leader talks about opposing the boycotters of America's ally Israel, there is support for him. He gets GOP support on a number of other issues, and presently the GOP is trying to get support for an issue he has been fervently for, but is now wavering on. There is the hope that we can work with him on the need for security of America's citizens and other issues.
However, we might not expect such a level of cooperation if a small group of loud boys take over and get into physical fights with the left, leaving the club a mess. This is not how to work with Senator Schumer or Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, with whom we disagree but with a measure of respect and by legal means.
The current candidate for president, and former president of the club, Robert Morgan, has always acted in a respectful manner and stayed within the law; he is a lawyer, an officer of the court.
The Proud Boys' experience with the court has been as defendants. Which is not the kind of experience that we want, especially in time of national crisis, when we need experience, calm and healing. Proud Boys and Ian Reilly, who invited them against dire warnings from people associated with this very site, are not only of no use, but a danger.
We hope that on the 30th of this month the membership will re-elect the former president and avoid the loud, boisterous antics of Mr Reilly and his friends.

Ian Reilly, Milo, and how to please a black man
The dynamic duo of Ian Reilly and Milo Yiannopoulos once danced into the GOP ballroom in Manhattan together, wearing black Gestapo style trench coats and turning heads. They sure got attention. And Reilly, for an encore, invited Proud Boys to the Metropolitan Club on East 83rd Street. It too got attention, the local residents knew where to find the GOP by the broken windows and police cars outside after Proud Boys and Antifa squared off.
People in Reilly's life seem to get attention, but not retention; they come and go; including his former boss, NY State Senator Marty Golden. Reilly worked in his office, from which Anthony Testaverde was let go last year. Golden was asked to let Reilly go and had he done so he might not have been let go. Some people don't listen.
Also let go was Milo, from Breitbart, soon after the scandal about his statements regarding adult-child sex. While NAMBLA might have loved him, the GOP did not and he has not been dancing around any GOP ballrooms for a while.
But he might be back. Pal Ian is running for president of the Metropolitan Club, while Milo is talking about working on a book about pleasing a black man sexually, although he opposes Black Lives Matter, which he put down at one of his famous UC rallies, calling it a divisive movement.
Juxtaposition juxtaposed with juxtaposition. Black on white on white on black and it is all a grey mess. Neo nazis in lipstick clashing with antifa while BLM is called out by a bleached blonde alt right mouthpiece from another country.
But you might ask Ian Reilly, or Proud Boys, or the crowd that Ian has brought into the Metropolitan Club. They seem to know everything.
The vote for president is 30 January; Ian was hoping to change it to the 29th, presumably better to suit his following, but the board voted to keep things the way they were. It's still a democracy Ian. And hopefully this democracy will vote out your loud boys.
This is not what the GOP is about. It has many sides to it, there is natural diversity, from Lincoln to Trump - but there is no space for criminality, racism, etc. Ian knows little about the brothers even if he does latch on to one or two. The law abiding black membership in the GOP opposes Ian, Milo and Sebastian, none of whom were around to support the black GOP say in 1993, when Pastor Calvin Butts welcomed George Pataki into the church up in Harlem. Pataki won the NY gubernatorial race, to the surprise of everyone. Hard working black GOP stalwarts like Leroy Owens made this possible, and for an insight into the kind of brothers who supports the GOP take a look at the brothers in Harlem who knew Owens. Owens working behind the scenes made a lot happen and this all benefited the black community.
Ian, Milo and Sebastian benefit Proud Boys; not the black community, not the GOP. This site endorses Robert Morgan for president, we are comfortable with his leadership, with his welcoming of all races and lifestyles into the club, with his many years of leadership, with his family.
Real men, not loud boys. Let's work together to Make America greater than ever.

Ian Reilly making waves at the GOP club in Manhattan; neo nazis not welcome
Thursday at the Metropolitan Republican Club on East 83rd Street was a quiet riot; coming not long after the loud riots occasioned by Proud Boys, who were invited by Ian Reilly of the Executive Committee. Reilly was there trying to get people to make him president. And he has lot of new members who appear to be poised to take over.
Which does not sit well with a lot of the old members; most of whom wanted nothing to do with Proud Boys and their rants. Many consider Proud Boys a bunch of stupid, racist thugs. Antifa showed up after their event and not to blame either side, things happened, like broken windows, assaults, and arrests. Nobody went home bored.
Mr Reilly is promising to keep things lively, while his opposition is trying to keep things on an even keel. They have seen enough of Milo (the Brit who espouses sexual relationships between adults and people under the legal age of consent), Sebastian Gorka (whose ties to nazi groups in Hungary, the New Right, along with his arrest for trying to subvert US Homeland Security by getting on a plane with a loaded gun) and others associated with this new upshot right wing.
Before the election Richard Spencer was trying to get his way in too, his neo-nazi sadist friends in London unwittingly tried to get him an entree to the Trump circles, via a person they did not know was actually an undercover reporter. Oops!
Spencer was spurned. Jason, his Iranian mate, was also spurned. Now Proud Boys is knocking at the door.
I did not mention what the theme of Thursday night's event was - ironically it was a talk by Iraq War veteran and activist Rob Smith, whose talk was marred by the presence of Reilly. It looked like black men on one side and the nazi youth party on the other with lots of bewildered older peoplein the middle just trying to get to the bar.
The vote on this is set for 29 January, and I expect that the old management will win again. Sorry, Reilly, but your past antics and your associations are not appropriate for America 2019. They went out of style in Germany in 1945.
The GOP, and the Trump supporters - many of whom are not actually GOP as journalists assume they all are - want nothing to do with Proud Boys, NAMBLA, or other trash; and word is that you got two people to join the club to pad the votes who are under indictment for narcotics.
