As long as it it is from one of your “approved” sources. 😆 God forbid you read an author that is conservative or even worse, went to the wrong university. 😂

Also 4 years ago. FOUR YEARS AGO TODAY: Retired St. Louis Police captain David Dorn, 77, killed after responding to a pawnshop alarm during looting. The BLM rioter who murdered him would be sentenced to life in prison without parole in 2022. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/03/us/david-dorn-st-louis-police-shot-trnd/index.html .

Yes you are. Folks who state opinions that are different scare Gene easily PS: How hilarious is it that he tries the "different from me " dodge, when my post was from an actual Gay Group. .

Douglas Murray recently said in a great analogy that sometimes “a flare goes up, and you see exactly where everyone is.” That is what has happened with this trial. Biden and the Democrats have shown their true colors. They have shown that they desire dominance, not democracy. And there is no way to unsee what we have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qw81d46yUD0

‘Democratic Principles and the Spirit of Free Institutions’ Democrats embrace their Inner-Putin By Carl M. Cannon It’s the last Friday in May during an election year and whether Americans know it or not, they woke up this morning in a nation different than it was the day before. A former U.S. president – and the Republican Party’s all-but-certain nominee for president this November – now stands convicted of vague crimes by a Democratic Party jury on charges brought by a Democratic Party prosecutor overseen by a plainly hostile Democratic Party judge. Heretofore responsible conservatives are today openly calling for GOP prosecutors to respond to the Democrats’ “lawfare” by exacting retribution in legal venues friendly to their side. Presumably, that strategy would entail indicting prominent Democrats on criminal charges of some nature in an escalation meant to produce, well, it’s not clear what the endgame is here. This much is obvious, at least to me: By bringing such a dubious criminal case against a former president, the Democrats have now openly criminalized public policy differences. This is a dangerous game. It hardly transfigures Trump into Nelson Mandela, an unwise comparison Trump likes to invoke himself. Liberals also bristle at a more current analogy with Trump as Alexei Navalny, the Russian opposition leader exiled, imprisoned, and murdered by Russian authorities on phony charges, presumably on orders from Vladimir Putin. Democrats would say the comparison offends them because Navalny was a heroic figure and Donald Trump is a menace to society. This view is sincerely held, for sure. But I suspect something else makes Democrats uneasy: Deep down many of them know that they’ve weaponized the criminal justice system in a way that is unhealthy for a republic; that they’ve undermined their own plot line about “saving democracy”; and that in their zeal to get Trump, Democratic Party leaders and millions of rank-and-file Democrats alike have all indulged their inner Vladimir Putin. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2024/05/31/democratic_principles_and_the_spirit_of_free_institutions_151034.html .

Give the Devil the Benefit of Law': Political Prosecution of Trump Will Backfire on Democrats Amy Curtis There is a fantastic scene in Robert Bolt's play 'A Man for All Seasons', about Saint Thomas More, where More explains to his future son-in-law William Roper about giving the devil the benefit of the law. The exchange goes this way: William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!’ Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil? William Roper: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that! Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ‘round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake! https://twitchy.com

You know we aren’t deciding if Trump ought to be canonized as a saint. The question isn’t whether or not Trump is perfect and many people wish someone else was being nominated, but that isn’t the question right now, either. The question is whether or not he is better than Biden. And for more and more people , that is an easy ‘yes.’
