The "victim" mentality is part of the left's ideology, so do not try to project it onto conservatives. We value our liberties, and fight back against collectivist totalitarians trying to suppress them. We see what is going on in other parts of the western world and are vigilant to keep it from happening here. Brazil used to be a thriving democracy, but is how headed to becoming an authoritarian police state. That article shows exactly what we want to avoid in America. It is great that we have some outstanding Republican attorney generals taking attacks on free speech to the courts, as the Missouri and Louisiana AG's have in Missouri v. Biden, now before the US Supreme Court, and probably the most important First Amendment case in decades.

The quacks who promote gender transition surgery and drugs use "danger of suicide" to strongarm parents into consenting to mutilating their child's body, when the real risk of suicide is for those who undergo the surgery or drugs. They ask parents "would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?" This is simply a fraud by these quack doctors who are profiteering off of this horror. These quacks should have their medical licenses revoked.

You could just as easily die from the mRNA Covid vaccines which the government covered up information on.

Biden tells more lies than George Santos. Too bad he could not be ousted as easily as Santos. We definitely need to toss him out in November. Biden is George Santos on steroids.

Hannity is a reliable source of information. Far left internet troll Bolshevik Bob is NOT.

Throughout his tenure, Biden has been barely functional, and the question has always been as to who is pulling his puppet strings. Biden is little more than a front man for a shadowy cabal which is actually running our government, a true Manchurian candidate who has bcome a Manchurian president.

Obama, who kept a residence in Washington, DC, has long been a prime suspect as Biden's puppet master. Another suspect has been George Soros, with White House visitor logs showing many visits to the Biden White House by Soros' son. If it is Soros pulling Biden's strings, it makes perfect sense that Biden is turning against Israel, given the longstanding anti-Israel positions of Soros. Obama is a little more nuanced, but is certainly also a possibility.

The video "Weekend at Biden's" was unfortunately all too true:

This column in the UK's largest circulation newspaper, the Daily Mail of London on the Trump trial shows what a laughing stock the Biden Democrats and their political show trial are making of America's justice system:

The column by renowned and highly respected law professor Jonathan Turley on where this case sits is interested. Truley says Bragg has not come close to proving any case against Trump and an honest and unbiased judge would grant a defense motion for a directed verdict, which would end the case in Trump's favor at the close of state's evidence.

Of course this trial does NOT have an honest and ungaised judge. It has a judge who is a political contributor to Joe Biden who has a daughter who is a Democrat political consultant who works for Kamala Harris among others. What would it do to his daughtter's business if he ruled like an honest judge should rule?

One of the most significant things Speaker Johnson said is that Congress is going to investigate Alvin Bragg and his cast of characters for election interference. While Congress cannot prosecute, they can make criminal referals to US Attorneys who will then likely be Trump appointees. That will be fun to warch, especially with at least one state Attoney General also going against them for election interference. They need to nail the corrupt judges, too. Lock them up. We need to drive a stake through the heart of these crooked Stalinist political show trials once and for all.

Soros' actions and funding DOES comes across as "get the Jew", both when he was a Nazi collaborator in WWII and in Soros' funding of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish activiies today.

Even the British press is now commenting on Biden's actions on Israel being driven by his trying to win Michigan in November instead of anything related to the Middle East.

As much as I support Israel's total eradication of Hamas from the face of the Earth and whatever it takes to do that, and as much as I support clearing these Hitler Youth college encampments, going down the slippery slope of "hate speech" is a bridge too far. Free speech is too vital to democracy to compromise it in any way. Tim Moore is a moron, but then we have known that for a long time.

The day before delaying arms to Israel, Biden okayed arms shipments to Lebanon and Qatar. Lebanon is for all practical purposes controlled by Hezbollah terrorists, and Qatar is the regime which shelters Hamas' political leadership. These are just the latest pro-terrorist moves by the pro-terrorist Biden regime.

For someone as obsessed with race as Bigot Bob, that is the only type of lynching he ever seems to think of. For regular people in society, however, it is a matter of what we have been exposed to. Most of us have grown up after the period of racial lynchings were over so there were no current accounts to learn from. Washingtonian's perspective makes perfect sense. TV and movies rarely showed racial lynchings but they showed cowboys doing it all the time.

There is only one time in my own life I have read a current account of a lynching that had just happened, and all of those involved in that one were of the same race. I was on vacation in Jamaica in the late 1980s and I like to read local newespaper when I am visiting another place. One day in reading a local paper in Montego Bay, there was an article about a lynching in a rural town on that end of the island. A homosexual had been arrested for molesting a young boy and was locked up in the police station with only a handful of police guarding him. A very large crowd showed up and demanded that the homosexual be turned over to them. Rather than risk being overrun, the police did so. The crowd then debated whether to give him a very severe whipping and castration and then return him to the police or to hang him. They decided to hang him and did so. The article mentioned nothing about any police investigation of the lynch mob. The fact that the article was so matter-of-fact, with no moral outrage made me wonder if extrajudicial punishments still happened regularly in that country.

ANy lynching is bad, whether racially motivated or motivated for some other reason. People should get their day in court whatever they have done and it should be a fair court. A kangaroo court like the one Trump is facing in Manhattan is little different from that mob in Jamaica.

Poor management in the public schools is the result of the tail (superintendant) wagging the dog (school board). Too many school board members act like the superintendant is their boss, when in reality, he is their employee. The school board members are the elected policy makers sent their by the voters to run the school system. The superintendant is their chief bureaucrat. Many of our Beaufort County School Board members are little more than yes-men or yes-women to superintendant Cheeseman, and that badly needs to change if we are to get out of the rut we are in.

Proper management would include setting expectations for school improvement and basing any raises on meeting those standards. For the central office and superintendant that should include scores districtwide increasing to the expected level. If not, no raise for them. For each school, there should be a similar arrangement for principles and assistants for improving the scores of that school. Teachers are paid less, so they should probably get a cost of living raise, but should get a bonus or a further raise if their class exceeds the expected levels. Reward success and punish failure. That is the only way our schools will improve.
