That right there is the Republican nominee in the Florida governor’s race. To the Republican party:
We always talk about a line in the sand. This is one of them. I won’t EVER vote for someone who says I am the enemy. You want to call me a white supremacist? This honky is keeping his Governor’s vote to himself.
His record sucks balls anyhow. He’s been convicted of drug possession, writing bad checks, and who knows what else. This is the best that Florida’s Republican party has to offer?
Stop me if you have heard this before: The Republicans are telling us if we sit out this election, the Democrats will win. If the Republicans win, we already know what will happen:
Why should people vote for Republicans? What do they do? (I wont vote for Democrats, either.) pic.twitter.com/7TAGiqS0hL
I’m as pissed as you. But sit out and you won’t even get the hearings, you’ll get more graft, more Islamic enabling and our 2nd Amendment rights will be attacked. You know better
I was reliably told by the very same people that a vote for Trump was a vote for Democrats, yet Trump put some solid people in SCOTUS, and that alone has made more progress than the entire Republican party has in the past 30 years. The entire party hasn’t done a thing to make our lives better since Clinton’s first term, and even then all they managed to pull off was a sunset clause on the AWB.
Why should I vote for you? What do I get from you, other than “I am not a Democrat?” In the words of the two Bobs: “What is it that you would say you do here?”
Trump excluded certain left leaning members of the MSM from the White House grounds. The left is losing their collective minds, claiming this to be an unprecedented assault on the First Amendment, and of course making comparisons to Hitler, their standard accusation. They have almost completely memory holed the fact that both Obama and Biden did the same thing.
In October 2009, amid a feud in which White House officials (including Communications Director Anita Dunn) publicly described Fox News as not a legitimate news organization but more like “the research arm or the communications arm of the Republican Party” and said they would treat it “the way we would treat an opponent,” even while saying the network’s point of view was “ultimately destructive” to the nation, then ordered the Treasury Department to exclude a Fox journalist from a multi-network interview pool.
Obama’s administration was widely criticized by journalists (including from outlets not aligned with Fox) for tight control of information, fewer formal press conferences than many predecessors, restricted photographer access (favoring official White House images), delays or stonewalling on FOIA, and “blackballing” or limiting access for some critical reporters at agencies.
Obama’s efforts to plug leaks and persecute leakers even exceeded those of George W. Bush’s administration. The administration prosecuted Stephen Kim, a former State Department official, merely for discussing a classified report about North Korea with Fox News reporter James Rosen, even going so far as to seize Associated Press phone records for two months and used the FBI to conduct surveillance on James Rosen (naming him as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in one case) and New York Times reporter James Risen while trying to identify sources.
Even in earlier times, the actions were hardly unprecedented:
Woodrow Wilson investigated journalists critical of his administration by invoking the espionage act of 1917.
During the late 1930s, Franklin Delano Roosevelt harassed activists, including members of the press, who sought to keep the United States out of the war raging in Europe.
Richard Nixon went to great lengths attempting to prevent the New York Times and Washington Post from publishing the Pentagon Papers because those documents exposed how US policymakers repeatedly lied to Congress and the American people about the Vietnam War.
Cato institute has a lengthy article about the abuses of opposing press outlets by Presidents. As for my blog, I detailed how the Bush administration and Republicans used laws against pornography. One of the Florida enforcers of this is none other than Sheriff Grady Judd.
Christopher Michael Wilson was investigated by Judd because he ran a website that allowed people to post nude pictures of women on the site, and it required a credit card to access so that the Wilson would know that people accessing the site were adults. Military men deployed in the Iraq war complained that they could not do so while in Saudi Arabia and Iraq, because the web servers in those countries blocked credit cards from being processed by companies who promoted pornography. Because of this, Wilson allowed members proving they were deployed by posting pictures from the war zone to have access to the site. Because of those pictures, the site became a photo journal that chronicled the Iraq war. It was one of the first sites to publish the Abu Grhaib pictures that so embarrassed former President Bush. The pictures being posted to that site caused major problems for the Bush administration.
Judd arrested Wilson on 301 counts of distributing pornography, even though Wilson did not post the pictures, he merely ran a site where people posted content, and the servers were not in Polk County (they were in the Netherlands). A plea deal was reached where Wilson had to turn the website over to Judd.
Don’t forget that Grady Judd is also one of the Sheriffs who broke the law in 2011 when they lobbied the state legislators to defeat the open carry law. I am one of the few people not on the left who think Judd is a grandstanding, authoritarian asshole. He also has previously engaged in arresting people who are critical of his policies, including arresting one woman for “lewd activity in the presence of a minor” because her neighbor and his child heard a “sexual sounding noise” coming from the woman’s home 48 days earlier. Of course, it was only a coincidence that the woman had been critical of the sheriff and his policies. The charges were dropped, but the woman had to sign an agreement to stop criticizing the sheriff.
Yeah, so using political power to silence dissent is nothing new. It’s been going on as long as we have had a nation. Both parties do it, but each claims the other is the evil one. I have news for you: they both are evil, power grabbing assholes who will stop at nothing to gain power.
I don’t have much to add, but instead of a direct link, a quote:
It is genuinely upsetting how many people celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death with “Kirkiversary” posts. Some here, tons more on TikTok. The message is clear; if you disagree with progressive orthodoxy, they want you dead and will celebrate your murder too. That includes a young father like Charlie Kirk whose major “crime” was engaging in civil debate with them.
And these posts have thousands or hundreds of thousands of likes, these aren’t fringe edgelords, this is a major view at least among the progressive base. Violence and intimidation has become an accepted strategy for them.
I hate that I have to share a country with these broken people, they must be defeated and marginalized just as much as the brainrotted elements of the Candace Owens right.
I just can’t grasp their mindset. If some leftist commentator I despised was murdered for their views, I can confidently say I would not celebrate it, and you should really do some serious soul searching if that is who you have become. This shouldn’t even need to be debated.
Celebration of assassination and poltical violence is a very dark road to go down. But after Kirk, and their celebration of Mangione, and all the cheering for Trump assassins, it is safe to say it is what a significant portion of the progressive/DSA left now believes. This is who they are.
Oh, and they want to take your guns still. You know, for “safety.”
My only addition to this:
Of course they want you dead. I told you that YEARS before Kirk was murdered. They want us all dead or in camps, as they have boldly told us many times.
It’s too widespread to be a fringe element. This is across the left wing spectrum. This is the position of the Democrats/Socialists/Communists
That’s why they want your guns.
I am not one to scream that we need to kick off a Civil War, because I know how horrific that would be. Millions would die, and the enemies of this nation wouldn’t sit by and watch from the sidelines.
However, I don’t think it will be up to me. It’s coming, and I can feel it.
Tyler Robinson’s attorney is in court arguing Kirk’s murder is justified because Kirk engaged in what he refers to as “hate speech.” This is a pattern we have been seeing for awhile- the youth of today have been taught that objectional speech is violence that justifies a physically violent response, including deadly force. To quote him:
some hatred can’t be negotiated out… It is true that Mr. Kirk spoke hatefully of certain groups of people…he spoke hatefully of people who have sexual relationships outside of marriage
The left is now declaring anyone who utters words in opposition to their beliefs is committing violence, and deserves to be killed. We are so close to a civil war in this nation, it is frightening.
🚨 WTF?! Tyler Robinson's attorney is in court SLANDERING Charlie Kirk, arguing Kirk's murder can't POSSIBLY be politically-motivated because Kirk "SPOKE HATEFULLY"
Defaming an assassination victim like this is EVIL.
If you look in the comments to the video, some are claiming vandalism is free speech. So if I begin holding down leftists and tattooing swastikas on their foreheads, would THAT be free speech as well? No? What’s the difference? Would it be OK if instead of your forehead, I simply painted it on your house or keyed it into your car? Why?
Megan here got caught vandalizing Charlie Kirk’s memorial . When the police press her for a reason she gives the usual uninformed leftist tripe . Then she has to poop a humble brick when the cuffs come out .. pic.twitter.com/GCj1c6DSCq
Unsurprisingly, she looks like a frumpy 2. They all look similar. I tried to find the outcome or status of the case, but perhaps her charges were dropped, because no case was found under her name in the Walton county court records system.
If you think it’s out of bounds to step on her glasses, wait until you see what happens in a Civil War. Remember when they were talking about putting us in camps?
I have no empathy for the people who locked J6 protesters in cages for months, who have shot those on the right, and who initiate violence. There are no rules in a real war, and that is what they are asking for.
There are times when Twitter’s character limit is too much of a restriction. This is one of those times. I am posting an image of this, because I don’t want it deleted and lost. Below is my answer:
It used to be a war of ideas. That was back in the day when I was a single issue voter. I felt Second Amendment rights were the litmus test for a freedom and liberty loving government. After all, a government that doesn’t trust its citizens with arms can’t be trusted with power. My vote was always cast with that underlying principle in mind.
Ever since 2016, those of us who have opinions like mine, rooted in freedom and liberty and their Constitutional protections, have been under siege.
Trump was attacked and investigated for a “Russia Collusion” accusation that was entirely fabricated by Hillary Clinton, the FBI, and the CIA.
Then came 2020. Our businesses were closed, we were put out of work, jailed for going to the beach, forced to wear masks that did nothing, and forced to take a vaccine that didn’t work. We were told it was too dangerous to go shopping at small stores, but WalMart and large Floyd protests were just fine.
Then came the election. Many people were suspicious of the anomalies in the vote counting, and remain so today. We were told it would be a crime and was unAmerican to question the election. In fact, the Lt Governor of Pennsylvania said anyone who questioned the election results should be thrown in prison because questioning elections isn’t protected speech. The sad part is today, he is one of the more moderate on the left side of the aisle. His name is John Fetterman.
An appointee (now Justice) to the Supreme Court said she can’t define what a woman is because she isn’t a biologist. We all know she was lying. She knows she was lying. Everyone knows it.
Those of us who complained or presented opposition to these moves were kicked off social media sites, deplatformed, threatened with death, called Hitler, and there were even prominent government officials calling for us to be placed in camps- first for those who refused COVID vaccines, then later for supporting Trump. Three years ago, a woman managed to find out my real name, then called hospitals in the Central Florida area in an attempt to get me fired. Why? Because I stated on social media that I don’t use people’s chosen pronouns. I was told this was a violation of those people’s rights, was not protected speech because hate speech is violence, which made me literally Hitler.
There was one man who attempted to have a dialog. They shot him in the neck in front of a crowd while he was peacefully speaking, because words are violence. Then they mocked those who mourned him, hounded his wife, accused her of being part of the murder plot, and called her a whore.
A decade of attacks and violence from the left. People have been financially ruined, their reputations destroyed, they have been injured, disabled, and even killed- all for having an opinion with which a leftist communist disagreed.
There are literally thousands of examples of leftist violence, attacks, and threats documented on this blog. Right now, we on the side of freedom are responding with unconventional warfare. We are engaging them using their own rules, their own definitions. We claim that a man who wants to play for the WNBA need only claim he is a woman while playing in the league, and that’s the rule.
They respond with angst and the gnashing of teeth, calling us mean and saying we hate women. No, we are protecting women’s sports by forcing you dishonest communists into admitting your entire position on transgenderism is a house of cards, built on the faulty foundation that a person can declare themselves to be something and everyone else has to comply with their delusion.
We are fighting back- now the ball is in the left’s court. They are going to be forced to allow these men to declare that they are women and be eligible to play in their league, or they are going to have to admit their position is indefensible.
We’ve been getting attacked for more than a decade. I haven’t held a grudge, I’ve grown tired of being attacked and turning the other cheek. I’ve spent the last two days exposing the left’s position on trannies to be the ridiculous lie that it is, and I’ve enjoyed watching the mental gymnastics of the left as they try to justify their position: everything from saying these men aren’t “real” trans women, but refusing to define the term, to claiming the definition of a woman is hormone levels. Anything but the admission they are and have been lying.
Low intensity warfare continues. In Mecklenburg county, NC the county commission will be 100% Democrat after the only Republican in the race was forced to drop out of the race after shots were fired at his home in March, but police and the FBI haven’t made headway in the investigation.
Investigators have said the shooting appeared to be targeted. Marin previously told WBTV that he was inside the home with his wife and two young children when the shots were fired. Bullets appeared to hit cars, a tree, basketball hoop and mailbox on his property.
Mecklenburg County now has a one-party election because political intimidation worked. The attacker did more than terrorize a family. He stripped every Republican voter in that district of a choice.
