Freedom of assembly
I was reading in the News-Sun where a New Mexico judge removed an official due to the Capitol riot. The New Mexico state district court judge disqualified a county commissioner. He said that because Mr. Griffin was on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6 — get this, without going inside the building — he was sentenced to 14 days and given credit for time served. So I guess they threw him in the slammer for 14 days for doing nothing except trying to have his American right to freedom of assembly. But he didn’t even go in the Capitol, and they arrested him for being on the grounds. I guess they could have arrested 300,000 people that day if they could have taken pictures of them all and rounded them all up. But I guess Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer don’t have time for that. She said Mr. Griffin aided in the insurrection, even though he did not personally engage in violence. So, it was a peaceful protest and he got thrown in jail for it. So, now you tell me who the fascists are. It’s the Democrats, not conservative Republicans.
King Donald?
I’m surprised Donald doesn’t conjure up yet another big lie and declare that he is in fact the rightful heir to the British Commonwealth. Republican leaders, Fox News and his cult of lemmings will believe it without question because he said it. Then they could travel to Great Britain and storm the castle to install him as king.
God slaps America
Evil has consequences — abortions, adultery, guns, crooks and immoral living bring God’s punishment. We have fires. We have floods. We have hurricanes. We have tornadoes. Russia and China will laugh when God slaps America.
Lock them up
It’s priceless. Hillary Clinton says that many conservatives must be purged for the good of the country in the next election. The Bidens, and the Clintons, and the Obamas — they should all be put in jail. But especially the Bidens and the Clintons. You could probably find something on Obama, but he’s pretty slick.
MAGA, MAGA, MAGA
This is in response to the entry entitled “Pretty funny,” stating that Joe Biden just keeps saying MAGA, MAGA, MAGA, and doesn’t know what it means. Well, he knows what it means, quite certainly. It means my attorneys get arrested.
