I meant to mention this one in comment, but like a lot of things these days it got by me, so don't think that I believe that the passing of "Gary Rossington, Last Surviving Original Member Of Lynyrd Skynyrd Band" is not important, it is.

Gary Rossington survived Lynyrd Skynyrd's infamously tragic plane crash in Mississippi, and continued playing, Lead and Rhythm Guitar, with each iteration of the enigmatic editions of the revived Lynyrd Skynyrd that would continue to perform within the concert halls across America; keeping the legend of Lynyrd Skynyrd alive for future generations.

The sad truth, because of that tragic plane crash, the creative life of Lynyrd Skynyrd was cut short, but still no serious raconteur of Southern Rock's Days of Glory would ever NOT include Lynyrd Skynyrd in the same breath of The Allman Brothers, if for no other reason "Free Bird" - one of the 5 greatest Rock 'n' Roll tunes of all time.

Rest in peace Gary Rossington for you survived to keep the good work that Ronnie Van Sant would have well expected of you, and now, reunited, Heaven will never be the same ... "PLAY FREE BIRD!" ... www.youtube.com

John: I don't think this is too broad of a statement on my part, so I will just humbly suggest that if the Democratic Socialists had NOT weaponized their corrupt Democratic Socialist bureaucratic zealots in the FBI, the DOJ for nearly a decade, and then conspired with them, the corrupt Legacy Media, and Big Tech Social Media, just to name a few, to wantonly cheat in an election as important as the general election of 2020, I would argue there would have been NO so-called "Insurrection" on January 6, 2021.

To put a finer point on this pure logic of the truth of what is real: The Democratic Socialists, who have often bragged to "Never let a Serious Crisis go to Waste," may be entirely responsible for the January 6th "mostly peaceful" riot, or "Insurrection" (if one prefers that vernacular of what is FAKE).

Do we expect the pack of RINOs in Raleigh led by RINO House Speaker Tim Moore and RINO Senate President Phil Berger to actually pass something like this, or is it just window dressing to cover up for their passage of the budget busting Obamacare Medicaid expansion that the Democrats and liberals have wanted so badly?

This is part of the steady march to an authoritarian single payer system like Canada or the UK with horrendous waiting lists for people to get care. ECU Health is part of Big Medicine in promoting this. Republican lawyers who voted for this left wing wet dream should be ashamed of themselves. Yes, thats you Jim Perry, Tim Reeder, John Bell, Chris Humphreys. Shame on you. You are involuntarily transfering hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians who now have private health insurance onto the government dole at the taxpayers expense. If they qualify by income for Medicaid, they have to get Medicaid, and can no longer keep their private health insurance, and that sometimes means they cannot keep their doctor. Taxpayers are also being screwed to the wall to pay for this. Big Medicine is an enemy of American freedom, and Republican sellouts who voted for this bill are traitors to Republican voters.

Yep, and I am getting plenty tired of those same faces standing up there around him. I never see the senators standing there that I respect - Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, John Kennedy, Josh Hawley, etc.

Since you opened that gate for discussion, I must express this one resounding, incontrovertible truth: No Joe, you are that "stupid"; by far and away the most "stupid" president in the history of these United States.

In fact, you are so inarguably stupid: I must openly ruminate, once again: Which is worse, the Idiot in the White House or the idiots that put him there (?) ... that is, of course, if you, Joe The Fool, actually did win that election for president, which opens up another box for discussion: Which is worse, the Non Patriot in the White House, or the non patriots that constructed the big cheat of lies, and otherwise to get Joe Idiot "elected?"

Read further. Trunker said he hates Trump and that the "election fraud" was BS. All the Fox personalities did in texts that everyone can read. Their words. Sorry guys but FOX is about to lose a major lawsuit because they knew they were lying but did it anyway.

"Big Bob," there is no "We," there is no "middle ground" in the 2nd Amendment.
