Prosecute Bloggers?

 State Sen. Jason Brodeur, GOP,  has introduced a Bill in Florida that would prosecute bloggers who write about elected officials like Ron De Santis. 

"If a blogger posts to a blog about an elected state officer and receives, or will receive, compensation for that post, the blogger must register with the appropriate office, as identified in paragraph..."

Did not the First Amendment prohibit laws abridging freedom of speech or the press? It is my understanding that states can not make laws that violate federal laws.  I do not earn money from my blog due to no readers. 

Does the proposed law apply to non-Florida resident Bloggers? What about a Canadian Blogger? The Bill is way too long and complicated for me to read it all ~ a lot about advertising properties for sale before getting to the part deciding we, the people, do not have the right o redress government for grievances.

Man's Genesis

 Man's Genesis is a short American film from 1912. 

It portrayed a Stone Age Battle between "Weak Hands" and "Brute Force."

Weak Hands won by inventing the ax. 

And the rest, as theysay, is history. Too bad Brute Force did not use their strength to help Weak Hands, all living in harmony. 

Talking to a Wall

 An old Reader's Digest joke:

Journalist asks elderly man, "You come everyday to the wall, sir, how long have you done that, and what are you praying for?"

He replies: "I have come here to pray everyday for 25 years. In the morning I pray for world peace and brotherhood of man. I go home, have a cup of tea, and I come back and pray for the eradication of illness and disease from the earth.

And very, very important, I pray for peace and understanding between the Israelis and the Palestinians." 

Journalist is impressed. "How does it make you feel to come here everyday for 25 years to pray for those wonderful things?"

The man replies calmly: "Like I'm talking to a wall." (Or a brick wall!)

Abolish Abortion in Alabama Act

 Alabama Rep. Ernie Yarbrough new legislation, Abolish Abortion in Alabama Act, calls for labeling abortion, homicide,  and charging women with murder.

Another dumb Republican who is clueless about non-viable pregnancies and D & C's. So, if a female's pregnancy aborts itself (such as in ectopic pregnancy) the poor girl or woman might face murder charges, needing to prove she did not cause the abortion? 

Alaska Rep Dave Eastman

 Alaska Rep Dave Eastman was censured for reportedly saying: 

"In the case where child abuse is fatal, obviously it’s not good for the child, but it’s actually a benefit to society because there aren’t needs for government services and whatnot over the whole course of the child’s life."

The best Yahoo comment to the article:

BBagwinds:

Good example of Republican "family values and fiscal responsibility": "Ban abortion to ensure they're born, then let them be beaten to death to ensure none of my tax dollars goes to their support." Sadism at its finest.

Naime wrote:

Totally bonkers (who voted against this?), but Chelsea Clinton said something similar about the benefits of abortion helping the economy, but didn't get this type of response by the media.

---

I do not know if Chelsea said that. Yet if Naime remembers, it must have gotten media attention. If Chelsea said it, she would be correct. A baby born with birth defects has little chance of being adopted (except perhaps in cases of abusers who want an easy target?) ~ kept in foster care until they age out at 18, with no family or resources become homeless?

And often those children farmed out to families who only foster due to getting paid, the kids get abused. Always better for all if females and their doctors make the decision to terminate. 

Father and son Johnson rioters

 Capitol rioter Daryl  Johnson and his son, Daniel of Austin, Minnesota, were charged with entering the Capitol through a shattered window and at one point allowing more rioters to enter by rushing a group of police officers who were trying to hold a door to the building shut. 

Prior blog post showed Daryl Johnson being arrested again. Great role model. 

Patrick Edward McCaughey III ~ Daniel Hodges

 Patrick Edward McCaughey III held a shield pinning Officer Daniel Hodge in between steel doors. I do not see that I posted about him previously. I have a note saying that he holds dual citizenship with U.S. and Germany. Deport him, I say. 

26-year-old Tristan Chandler Stevens of Pensacola, Florida was convicted of 9 offenses, and 63-year-old David Mehaffie of Kettering, Ohio, was convicted of 4 offences relating to J6.

“Mehaffie hung from an archway and shouted direction from above, and McCaughey and Stevens were key players in the melee below,” federal prosecutors said. The three encouraging those reluctant to enter the building to do so. 

The Trump appointed judge acquitted them of obstruction charges, although they most definitely obstructed Congress when they violently entered the building, attacking guards ~ inside and out.

Impeach Rep. Jody Hicks

 "this is our 1776 moment" U.S. Representative, Jody Hicks Jan. 2021

I understand that Hicks later removed his Tweet, and claimed he was misunderstood. Yet, if you read the "Return of 1776" it is clear, Hicks should be impeached. 

Do these people really want to destroy the country they were elected to hold office; violate their oath of office to protect and defend, against enemies? They are the enemies. 

Today's world is so much more advanced than when colonists rebelled against the British. Tobacco users definitely have taxation without representation; but basically lawmakers worked to make the U.S. of A. be of, for and by all people, not just heterosexul white men. (If any of those who wrote The Constitution, they would have been deep in "the closet".

We, the non-Christians enjoy freedom to worship or not.  The gun lovers like their well-regulated militias. The uglies use freedom of speech as it was not intended to be uses. Just read some Yahoo comments or listen to the former guy's vulgar, crude, rude, language. 

So what do these peeps want to change about the government they rule?  

Jessica Watkins ~ Oath Keeper

 Jessica Watkins ~ Oath Keeper

 “Yeah. We stormed the Capitol today,” she wrote. “Teargassed, the whole, 9. Pushed our way into the Rotunda. Made it into the Senate even. The news is lying (even Fox) about the Historical Events we created today.”

“...underestimate the resolve of the Deep State. Biden may still yet be our President. If he is, our way of life as we know it is over. Our Republic would be over. Then it is our duty as Americans to fight, kill and die for our rights.”

On Jan. 6, Watkins penetrated the nation’s Capitol in a bulletproof vest, fatigues bearing Oath Keeper insignias, and goggles to protect her eyes from tear gas.

What about the rights of all those who voted for Biden or Green or Yellow/gold candidates? 

---

These people sicken me. Our way of life would have been over if #45 and his army had succeeded on stopping the election on J6th. Our way of life is the same as it has ever been. Except perhaps for this snowless winter. Fear we will pay with a blizzard in April.

Unarmed Garret Miller

 Unarmed Garret Miller arrived at trumps Jan. 6, 2021 rally with a rope, a grappling hook, a mouth guard and a bump cap. I wonder what he needed those things for to attend a rally? Perhaps preparation for storming the "Winter Palace?" 

Garret, age 36, was sentenced to 36 months in prison for assaulting officers, in and outside the Capitol Building. He left Texas to travel to D.C. to stop the verification of the election. 

He posted on a comment made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on social media, that read Impeach, "Assassinate AOC" on Jan. 6th, 2021. I do not know if he could have used his rope and grappling hook to drag the senator to the gallows built outside the building to assassinate her. 

But if he had found her, no telling what he and the other rioters would have done to her. He also used Social Media to threaten Senator Schumer, Zuckerberg, and Jack Dorsey.  36 months is not long enough for a man who is known to violence against officers of the law. 

People make threats, they have no intention of following through with, to express anger. This man traveled from Texas to D.C. intending to do harm. A danger to society. 

Empty Greene

 I do not approve of name calling, but Marjorie Taylor Greene is empty headed, so Empty Greene seems to fit. 

Not completely empty; her mind is filled with hateful things. And what she can do to bring attention to herself, such as parading around the halls carrying a white balloon to mock President Biden. Or wearing white fur coat indoors. Her head it full of conspiracy theories and screwball ideas.

She now wants to divorce Red States from Blue States, due to liberals spoon feeding wokeness on citizens. Despise the use of the word woke to mean anything other than waking up in the morning. I woke up with a hangover. 

Citizens partition their reps to do things they want to be done. So that CINOs wanted to outlaw abortions, GOP got them outlawed. LGBT want things, such as right to marry, they petition the lawmakers to get it done. 

MT Greene and the rest need to wake up to the tangled web they created for women who need emergency treatment for miscarriage, for one. Doctors refusing a DNC could cost a woman her life.  They do need to wake up! Of be woke. 

Grates on my nerves to hear elected reps using that word: woke. Talk like an adult, not a whatever generation changed the meaning. So cringe.

---

What is wrong with divorcing states? A) there are blue or green or Libertarians living in "red states." What if they do not want to leave the state where they were born and lived their entire lives. Or, can not afford to do?

B) Take a look at 1975 Electoral Map ~ California was red; Texas was blue. So what happens, Ms. Greene, when red states become blue or blue becomes red? Do you sunset it ~ vote on remarriage or new divorce every 4 years?

---

Scary so many citizens are right there with her wanting another civil war. Nutty people. It is not like south against north anymore. Do we build a wall around Texas after divorce to keep them from entering the U.S. of A. without a passport? Do we allow them to use interstate highways paid for by the U.S. of A. funds? 

Kelly Meggs ~ J6

 Kelly Meggs posted on his Faceboook page:

"Trump said It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! It’s gonna be wild!!!!!!! He wants us to make it WILD that’s what he’s saying. He called us all to the Capitol and wants us to make it wild!!! Sir Yes Sir!!! Gentlemen we are heading to DC pack your shit!!

---

Why has he not been indicted? Why is he allowed to run for president again? Why did the GOP fail to impeach? He should know about government corruption, he is part of it. 

Imagine if he does not get the GOP nomination ~ will he scream "fraud," and call for his loyal gaga Mawas to revolt again? Or if he gets the bid, and loses the general election ~ again? With Empty Greene and his boy Bannon running the next insurrection, promised to be armed.

WTF is wrong with the GOP! It seems this is what they want. To be on the losing side of their instituted new civil war or "return of 1776?"

Inflation

 Inflation

Did not share an old Facebook "memory" post about inflation.

Girl Scout cookies cost 23 cents per box of 44 cookies in 1960 ~ minimum wage was $1.00

Federal minimum wage is $7.25; the cookies cost $5.00 a box and have 14 cookies. 

Or in 1960 a minimum wage worker would work 1 hour to buy 4 boxes of cookies; today that 1 hour can only buy one box ~ and get a lot less cookies in today's economy.

---

My first tax paying job, I was paid, I think, 75 cents an hour. It was part time, in 1964. When I made that post, I did look up how much the cookies cost in 1960 & would think I did the same for minimum wage. 

Even after I went full time after graduating high school, I do not remember $1.00 an hour. Wish I had saved some paystubs. I worked in retail department store in the office, and earned 10 cents an hour more than the sales floor teens my age. 

2022/2023 complaints about inflation ~ I wonder how much those smaller, less tasty boxes of girl scout cookies cost now.

Matthew Jason Beddingfield

Matthew Jason Beddingfield, age 22 of North Carolina pleaded guilty to assaulting resisting or impeding officers,  30 days after his arrest, a judge ordered him released from jail. Prosecutors said he" had a penchant for matching violent words with violent acts.” At the time he was on 2 years probation for assault with a deadly weapon, for shooting a 17-year-old in the head. 

Now, how can a person who is on probation, be let out of jail after being arrested for more violence?

It is reported that he was on of the first rioters to jump over a barricades, attack officers with flagpole and threw a metal rod at them. Once inside he marched around, joining a skirmish thrusting his flagpole at officer's shield. 

He is known to be anti every non-white, non-Christian, non-heterosexual citizens.

In text messages from his phone, He wished members of those groups a violent end, and also expressed desire to inflict violence or death on them. 

I do hope when he is sentenced the next judge gives him a long jail sentence. He was also arrested for drunk driving after his J6 violence.

Daniel Rodriguez ~ tasered guard

 Daniel Rodriguez, 42 of California pleaded guilty to J6 charges.

"Rodriguez tased Fanone twice in the back of his neck, after the then-D.C. police officer was dragged into the crowd by rioters. Fanone suffered a minor heart attack and a traumatic brain injury in the attack and later resigned from the police force."

Kyle Young and Albuquerque Head also are serving prison time for assaulting Fanone. Thomas Sibick pleaded not guilty and is awaring trial. 

Jeffrey McKellop,

 I thought I posted about Jeffrey McKellop, age 57, ex Special Forces Soldier who showed up on J6 wearing a helmet, tactical vest, protective eyewear and a gas mask. Dressed for a peaceful tour of the Capitol Building, eh.

He is accused of "assaulting officers, throwing bottles at police and allegedly picking up a flagpole and striking a police officer in the face, causing a wound. He then reportedly threw the flagpole at the same officer like a spear." 

He has been in jail for two years. His trial will be delayed due to his attorney quitting and needing new council. It says he is from Fisherville, which I assume is in Virginia due to report being from The Staunton Ledger. 

---

The article mentions Marine Vet, Thomas Webster,  who was sentenced to 10 years for attacking an officer with flagpole, tackling and choking him. Wester was also a retired police officer. 

Return of 1776

Special Mention
Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Mike Pence, & Bill Gates
           we the people are watching you

Rand Paul & Ron DeSantis

  We the people love you

***'

Oh, so that is who they were watching. Bill Gates? What was Kevin McCarthy's position in Congress in 2020? I am not even sure what McConnell's position was at that time. 

No, I am one of the people that do not like anti-liberty DeSantis. I do not recall disliking Rand Paul, but maybe I am mixing him up with some other guy. Ron Paul? 

----

It is true that these anti-Americans found their place in history. Unless, of course, DeSantis manages to whitewash history. Not a Patrick Henry, or Paul Revere among them. 

Demand New Election

Demand new election:
Paper Ballots Only
no electronic voting
no mail-in ballots
no absentee ballots
In person with an ID or NO VOTE
Monitored by National Guard

***

Okay, so mawas thought it their right do demand that no military is allowed to vote by mail, absentee ballots? That disabled people are not allowed to vote? That people in hospitals undergoing treatment not be allowed to vote? That seniors not be allowed to vote?

Are there enough National Guard members to monitor elections in every small rural area, college town, large city with multiple voting districts and even multiple voting places within large districts? 

Talk about logistics! It sounds like a proposal from an elementary school child. Even if there are enough guards people to cover every voting location, would there be enough to relieve them, so that THEY can go cast their ballots? Do they also plan to extend voting hours so that all citizens get to cast their votes?

Or is their proposals a plan to hold unfair elections? Nurses often work 12 shifts ~ will their demand provide for giving them enough time to leave work to get to polling place before it closes?

Paper ballots only? So someone like Tina Peters can shred the ones from non-GOP voters? It seems to me voting by electronics is the safer than paper ballots. As long as people like Peters are caught tampering with hard drives. I, for one, would not trust a voting machine manufactured by Ivanka Trump's  patent. 

I needed to show ID to register to vote to get a voter ID card. Need proof of address in order to assign district. Voting in person, had to show ID a few times, but mostly just sign roster next to my name. 

---

The reason they make those demands is trump told them so and he is great salesman of his propaganda. If these mawas thought about the "Return of 1776" provisions, they might see how absurd it sounds.

Chants

Lead, Second or Hypman lead the following chants
*Free and fair elections
*Liberty or death
*We are watching
*No Trump, No America
*No Justice, No Peace
*We the People

 

***

I did not know we had to pay to vote. Would think they would want to end gerrymandering and redistricting to keep elections fair. 

Ah but they complain about Ashli Babbitt. Many are losing liberty, so will they ask for death in jail? (no they cry, and say "sorry")

We, the people did not want trump, only mawa people did. They would rather have a lying, corrupt, cheating, vulgar president than a United States of America?

What about our rights to a fair election. (I do not know what "free" means.) No djt and you plan to toss out our votes? 

Ah,yes, we know ~ you were watching your man trump to give the signal to "march peacefully to the Capitol to fight like hell." They were watching to see Mike Pence "do the right thing" as expressed by the sore loser. 

"No Justice, No Peace" co-opted from Rodney King riots? 

Patriot Plan Logistics

Patriot Plan Logistics

You are the revolution
Be part of history & fight for this country, so our children don't have to.
It's all or nothing Patriots, boldness and bravery is necessary.

Planning to storm government buildings with goal of stopping counting of electoral college votes makes one a patriot, how? 

Were the 1776 people who revolted, patriotic British residents?
