Biden is just following Putin, trying to gin up false charges to put their political opponents in jail. Alvin Bragg reminds me of Stalin's KGB chief who said "show me the man, and I will find you the crime."

The left is trying to groom vulnerable gender confused children, most of whom would naturally grow out of it according to the medical experts, into following a destructive lifestyle. Shameful.

The reality is that the left knows that 85% of gender confused children will naturally grow out of it, and live happier lives as a result. They want to convince them to stay gender confused and to mutilate their bodies so it will be hard to go back. What the left is trying to do to these children is just sick.

Many European countries have hit the brakes and shut down the gender mutilation surgeries and chemical castration that the American left wishes to foist on vulnerable children. The British National Health Service even directs their doctors not to even suggest new names or pronouns for gender confused children.

Our country is facing an existential threat from the far left that wants to destroy our Constitutional Republic, and local Republicans are involved in this sort of catfight?????? It should be all hands on deck to stop the radical Democrats.

Gurley is a special interest hack, and that woke special interest is the one he happens to be shilling for in Tim Moore's office. But then again, Tim Moore's office has been special interest central. The special interest lobbyists for Big Medicine have been virtually camped out there this session.

You seem particularly ignorant of history, Bobbie, Prior to the War Between the States, free blacks in the South, which were about 20% of the black population, had more civil liberties than the free blacks in the north. The northern states mostly had very draconian Black Codes that were far more severe than the later Jim Crow laws. It is the north's Black Codes that are the real precussor or Jim Crow.

A very interesting example is Illinois, Lincoln's home state. As part of the Northwest Territory, it was governed by Thomas Jefferson's Northwest Ordinance that prohibited slavery, but when it became a state its Constitutiion and laws neither allowed nor prohibited slavery, and by 1850 there were quite a number of slaves being held in southern Illinois by farmers. The state government decided to do something about it, but instead of banning slavery, they passed a law banning all black people from living in Illinois. The state senator who sponsored that law became a Union general in the War Between the States and there is a statue of him in Washington, DC (hmm, BLM must not have figured that one out yet).

If one compares racial restrictions in the military, the Confederate Army was much more enlightened than the Union army. Minority soldiers were placed in segregated regiments in the Union army, while Confederate regiments were integrated. The Union army paid minority soldiers half the pay of white soldiers, while the Confederate army gave them full pay. The Union army did not allow minority soliders to serve as commissioned officers while the Confederate army did. The highest ranking minority to serve in the war was Confederate General Stand Watie, who was the commander of the last sizable Confederate force to surrender at the end of the war.

Ho Hum! More Fake Fauci "Facts" from our court jester Bobbie.

Surgeons wore masks in the operating room long before Covid and for a very different reason, and will continue to wear them long after this scare is forgotten. When leaning over a patient operating, there is a danger of bacteria from the surgeon's mouth falling into an open incision and causing bacterial infection. Bacteria particles are much larger than the aerosol particles that primarily spread airborne respiratory viruses like Covid and flu. The openings between fibers in a surgical mask are three thousand times larger than those aerosol particles. One British scientist on the UK government's scientific advisory panel on Covid told the British media that using a mask to stop a virus was like using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.

Masks are and always have been useless. The most commonly used masks, the surgical masks, are designed against bacteria which have much larger particles and do not stop the aerosols that spread respiratory viruses. Early peer reviewed studies out of Denmark showed that but the medical establishment tried to keep them from being published. More recently, the Cochrane Institute, the gold standard of medical research published an analysis of 78 separate peer reviewed randomized studies that conclusively showed that masks, even the much better N95s are of no use against respiratory viruses like Covid and the flu. And you greatly exagerate about the health care system being overrun.

Again, just following your far left narrative, Bobbie. We have seen your kneejerk positions here long enough. It has now come out that most of the "misinformation" on Covid was spread by the government. Even thinking leftists like the German Health Minister are wising up to the harms of mRNA Covid vaccines. Those who peddle the leftwing narrative over all else, just want to cover that up.

Bobbie is obviously of the "social gospel" persuasion, an offshoot of "liberation theolgy", both of which are political ideologies, not religious doctrines. Social gospel only pretends to be religion.

More so than the MSM, the liberal narrative, or the bent "fact checkers".

Those "puberty blockers" are the very same drugs used for chemical castration of rapists. What right thinking person would ever con children into taking them? The ACLU complains about the dangers of these drugs when given to rapists but demands they be given to children at their whim. They are extremely profitable for pharmaceutical companies and the second biggest profit center after abortions for Planned Parenthood.

Meanwhile the Biden regime is trying to gut the Medicare Advantage program that is relied upon by millions of seniors.

With Lez Cheney, it has always been personal grudges first, everything else last.

And only the far left considers delaying a count to get a full investigation of what had all the earmarks of vote fraud to be "overthrowing the government". If the out of control Jan. 6 rioters had intended to overthrow the governmrnt, they would have come armed, which they did NOT. The Democrats have a long history in other races to keep counting and "finding" ballots until they get the result they want.

There were efforts for years to remove Liz Cheney from her position in the GOP caucus due to constant backstabbing of Republicans, but when she went full Pelosi puppet, she was finally booted out. It was long overdue. Dick Cheney was always a Bushie, and never a favorite of conservatives. His daughter was even more of a fake.

A real court allows both sides to be heard and present evidence. Pelosi rigged the Jan. 6 committee by refusing to seat the Republicans appointed by Kevin McCarthy. It was no less a rigged presentation than the Stalin Show Trials. A couple of FAKE Republicans under Pelosi's control did not make it a fair or even handed committee. It was like something seen in a banana republic, a disgrace to America.
