    Founding Fathers Strapped Down In Graves To Prevent Further Spinning
    July 29th, 2020

    U.S.—In an attempt to tackle the unprecedented and growing phenomenon of historical figures spinning rapidly in their graves, federal officials have begun strapping down the Founding Fathers at several historical sites. 

    “It started slowly, back around 2016,” explained National Park Director Larry Rozinsky. “We noticed George Washington’s corpse had done a full 360. It was a bit odd but nothing unlike what we’d seen a few times back in the sixties.”

    2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate exploded from a nearby fire.  The cause of the fire hasn't been disclosed.

     

    In any event, who stores ammonium nitrate next to a fireworks warehouse?

    Mossad?

    I sincerely hope not.

     

    A blast that large is an indiscriminate act of war if triggered by some kind of targeted strike.   So many civilians lives lost.

    I'd like your take on this:

    Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers stated:

     

    The Department of Justice has completed its review of the 29 FISA applications that were the subject of preliminary findings by the DOJ Inspector General (OIG) in March 2020.  We are pleased that our review of these applications concluded that all contained sufficient basis for probable cause and uncovered only two material errors, neither of which invalidated the authorizations granted by the FISA Court.   These findings, together with the more than 40 corrective actions undertaken by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the National Security Division, should instill confidence in the FBI’s use of FISA authorities.  We would like to express our appreciation to the OIG for their focus on the Department’s use of its national security authority.  We remain committed to improving the FISA process to ensure that we use these tools consistent with the law and our obligations to the FISA Court.  The ability to surveil and to investigate using FISA authorities remains critical to confronting current national security threats, including election interference, Chinese espionage and terrorism.”

    Cool. While we’re leaving our personal safety up to God, let’s also get rid of home security alarm systems, front doors that lock, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, seat belts, air bags, bike helmets, and modern medicine. 

    Cops... you forgot to ban cops too.

    They are a human rights organization. 

     

    I know that's hard for some to understand, or want to understand, but calling them terrorist just reinforces the point they need to make 

    I think its more fair to say they are a political organization aligned to the hard left

    'Strike for Black Lives': Workers to walk off jobs in Rochester

    ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) — Thousands of people across the country will walk off their jobs in protest on Monday, including in Rochester. 

    Dubbed the "Strike for Black Lives," workers are striking as a response to racial and economic inequality, which they say has deepened during the pandemic. They're demanding action to confront white supremacy, the public health emergency, and the broken economy. 

    Nursing home workers at the Pearl on Portland Avenue in Rochester will picket starting at 11 a.m. Monday.

    Labor unions, along with social and racial justice organizations from New York City to Los Angeles, will take part in a range of planned actions. Where work stoppages are not possible for a full day, participants will either picket during a lunch break or observe moments of silence to honor Black lives lost to police violence, organizers said.

    When are the protests scheduled for the black lives lost to black violence?

    #RESISTANCE: Woman who defaced Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower strikes two more times.

     

    The black woman busted for dumping paint on the Black Lives Matter mural outside Trump Tower live-streamed the entire stunt — and was at it again just hours later in Harlem and Brooklyn.

     

    Bevelyn Beatty, 29, posted videos to her Facebook page showing her smearing paint outside the Midtown skyscraper, and BLM murals in Harlem and on Fulton Street later in the night, then gloated about it from home on yet another video.

     

    “Ya’ll, we did an all-nighter,” she said in the most recent post. “Let me tell you something, yesterday was epic.”

     

    Fight the power.

     
     
     
     

    Does she have a defense fund go-fundme?  If so... I'd like to donate.

    Funny how this is a consistent warning from people who actually lived it.  

     

    Yep... wife is Czech and marched in the velvet revolution in Prague which led to the fall of Communism across Eastern Europe and eventually the Soviet Union.

     

    All of her friends are appalled at what they are seeing.  

     

    Communism is coming to the one place they thought they could flee to be safe from it.

    Consider the consequences of facing our times unafraid: If you are not concerned about initiating a second wave of COVID-19 deaths, you are heartless. If you question whether facemask requirements are diminishing our humanity, you are an idiot.

     

    If you believe that freedom to practice religion is more important than preventing every possible bodily tragedy, you are mentally sick. If you chafe at the phrase “these uncertain times” because all times are uncertain, you are underestimating the problem. If you do not worry about the financial security of your family, you are either a despicable plutocrat or an ignorant optimist.

     

    Interesting read.  Both sides are playing politics with the virus.

    But in this divided and antagonistic nation, how can we stay safe? The answer is simple. Intimidating those you deem wrong is the key to security. Threats are necessary to ensure justice. Coercion and bullying will bring about political change. You must live in constant fear of others, but constantly make them even more fearful of you, and above all of us must loom the larger fears of poverty, pain, and death.

     

    Not only was F.D.R. wrong, so was Patrick Henry. “Give me liberty or give me death”? No. Take my liberty as long as it will protect me from death. Dear America, here is your charge: Keep me safe from viruses, safe from injustice, safe from political upheaval, safe from any unfairness that life might present. In return, I offer up my rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I renounce my rights to freedom of religion, of speech, of press, of assembly.

     

    Really, it is a small price to sacrifice the abstract for the tangible, isn’t it? Fear makes the Faustian bargain so devilishly tempting. Take my soul, just save my body.

     

    He is being facetious of course.
