That's ok, as the article demonstrates, it just ends up spreading the truth. Blacks and liberals will have their own un whitewashed history and counter events whenever they hold one honoring treason. Every time it is brought up is an opportunity to educate kids with the truth, every time they speak in public, speak too and protest, target the kids with education they are an easy sell.

Ya have to remember, telling the truth is not a crime and cannot be made into one. You're in a battle for hearts and minds and they have neither and are sort of unarmed in this kind of fight. They fear the future, they know what is coming on some level, that is what all the freaking out and lunacy is about, it is the death throes of the poisoned elephant. An aggressive liberal democratic government in DC would be a big problem for these good ole boys, especially if they passed voting rights, HR1 and a check box for voter registration on your income tax form, just as we do in Canada. Killing fox and gun regulation will break their hearts and then their brains. The democrats are no longer afraid to talk guns or abortion and they have some pretty radical ideas too.

Top Republican lawyer tells donors conservatives should work to limit voting on college campuses
A top Republican lawyer told donors at a Republican National Committee (RNC) retreat last weekend that conservatives should work to limit voting on college campuses.

Cleta Mitchell, a GOP lawyer who assisted former President Trump in his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, called on Saturday for Republicans to “combat” efforts to turnout college voters – a group that significantly tilts Democratic.

“We need to be looking at, what are these college campus locations and polling?” Mitchell said in audio of the presentation obtained by liberal journalist Lauren Windsor. “What is this young people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorms, so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed.”

She specifically pointed to Wisconsin, where liberal Judge Janet Protasiewicz won a state Supreme Court race earlier this month. With Protasiewicz on the bench, the Wisconsin Supreme Court will have a liberal majority for this first time in 15 years.

“Wisconsin is a big problem … because of the polling locations on college campuses,” Mitchell added. “There are 501c3s. Their goal for the Supreme Court race was to turn out 240,000 college students in that Supreme Court race. And we don’t have anything like that, and we need to figure out how to do that and combat that.”

In addition to the Badger State, Mitchell also focused on campus voting in several other battleground states, including Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Virginia, as well as the preregistration of students under 18 years of age, according to The Washington Post, which obtained a copy of the presentation.

Mitchell previously garnered national attention for her participation in a January 2021 call between Trump and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, in which the former president asked the top Georgia election official to “find” 11,000 more votes for him in the state.

And they don't expect retaliation once the democrats gain power and make such things a conspiracy to limit voting rights? Just like they can make it illegal to conspire to attack a woman's basic human rights? Not just abortion can be made legal, those who conspire to violate women's basic human rights can be made criminals too. College campuses can be under federal protection along with the voting rights of students, many of whom come from out of state. It is grid locked government that gives the SCOTUS so much power and laws always had to be a compromise with plenty of loopholes for the right people. Trump and fascism in America changed that from one of compromise to one of total victory and extermination for the losing side. The democrats have a constitutional obligation to exterminate them, now that the threat to the constitution and rule of law has been identified. Liberal democracies can defend themselves and be very fucking nasty about how they do it while staying inside the constitution.

Win in 24, then put a checkbox on the federal income tax form to automatically register people to vote in their state. Let them fight it in court, over off year elections and try to make a mess of things locally. People will like the simplicity and convenience, citizens who are taxpayers deserve the service and it removes barriers to voting, it will be popular even in red states. Solves the college student issue too. We've used it here in Canada for years and it works great.

My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell ordered to pay $5M over debunked 2020 election data
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell, an ally of former President Trump who has aggressively pushed baseless 2020 election denial theories, has been ordered to pay $5 million to a software developer who debunked Lindell’s data about the election.

Lindell, who promised to pay the $5 million award to anyone who could debunk his data that purportedly proved election fraud, was ordered to pay the sum by a private arbitrator, who ruled that Robert Zeidman, a software expert, successfully disproved Lindell’s claims, in a decision first reported by CNN.

The ruling from the arbitrator said that Lindell repeatedly claimed to have data that he said was captured during the 2020 election and proved that China interfered in the contest. He repeatedly made the claim in public appearances and TV guest-spots.

Lindell then launched the “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge,” offering $5 million to anyone who could prove that the data was not valid. Zeidman entered the contest, submitting a report that concluded the data did not include information from the 2020 election. When Lindell’s team said Zeidman did not win the contest, he filed the arbitration.

“Based on the foregoing analysis, Mr. Zeidman performed under the contract,” the ruling said. “He proved the data Lindell LLC provided, and represented reflected information from the November 2020 election, unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data. Failure to pay Mr. Zeidman the $5 million prized was a breach of the contract, entitling him to recover.”

The arbitrator ruled that the money must be paid within 30 days of the decision.

Lindell blasted the arbitration decision.
“It was a horrible decision, and it is all going to end up in court,” he told The Hill, reiterating his desire to get rid of electronic voting machines.

Lindell has been a vocal election denier and launched an unsuccessful campaign to be the next head of the Republican National Committee earlier this year.

He, he, he...
Good luck collecting the cash, he's a weasel and getting his and Alex Jones's money should be much easier for victims, a change in the law can take care of that. Pay on the spot when they lose, if they win the appeal, then give the money back, keep it in trust of the court, property should be sold and if they win the appeal, they can buy a new house.

It didn't take Donald long to do in Meatball Ron! Donald will be the undisputed nominee for the republican party. Too bad Jack has to bust him so soon and send him to trial during the primaries or before, the trial over the documents won't be a long one and the sentence will do in Donald, and he might not win the nomination by convention day. He would run as a bull moose from his cell though and MTG is stupid enough to be his VP and stump for him. Even in prison Donald will get a minimum of 10% of the popular vote, even if they have to write him in on the ballots. Meanwhile as he is going down all those republicans will either have to go down with him or jump ship by election day. Either way it will split the GOP and not even Trump can win an election from a federal prison or jail cell. If he wins the nomination, he will be in prison by election day and going through Hell in the weeks before during the trial. If he loses the nomination his only chance (in his mind) is a bull moose run from prison, or make the republican nominee promise him a pardon to stay out, but Donald would not trust such an arrangement.

Besides, it looks like Georgia is going for a big conspiracy case and if Donald is the Kingpin of that, he will be looking at state time. The republicans in Georgia would freakout having to lock up Trump and the base might go nuts on them! The timing of all that is important to the 24 elections as well and Mark Meadows could be looking at serious time in Georgia. I'm sure Jack could get him off on it, if he cooperated federally and with the state case, his lawyer would want a package deal that includes the Georgia crimes. There is little point in avoiding a lifetime federal sentence, just to get nailed in Georgia for 10 years on a chain gang, so they will give him some incentive, but only if he delivers congressional heads and more than one or two, a dozen will see him walk away from it and into federal witness protection!

Florida prosecutor apologizes for memo that called for harsher penalties for Hispanic defendants
A north Florida prosecutor has apologized for a policy outlined in a memo from his office that levied harsher penalties for defendants who are Hispanic.
State Attorney Jack Campbell conceded that the policy was “inappropriate and insensitive,” in an interview Friday with The Guardian.

“Is it authentic? Yes. Is it the policy of this office? No,” Campbell said.

A former employee acted as a whistleblower and exposed the printed document that lays out penalty recommendations for drivers without licenses. Those who are Hispanic are automatically recommended the worst penalties, the same as those with criminal records, the document said.
Drivers without criminal records would normally be sent to diversion programs such as community service, paying fines, taking driving courses or other alternatives.

“I understand completely the public shock and concern. It’s concerning to me too. It’s not what we do. We’re not prosecuting people because of race. We’re prosecuting differently because of their legal status. Because as undocumented, I don’t know what their history is,” Campbell told Our Tallahassee, who broke the story.

Campbell blamed a junior prosecutor who used the wrong language on the document and meant “undocumented” instead of “Hispanic.”
The prosecutor is still employed by the state, Campbell said, but was reprimanded.

“He wasn’t treating Hispanic people differently than anybody else. If he was, then I would have fired him. He was treating undocumented people consistently based on the fact that we have concerns on not knowing their history,” Campbell said.

The whistleblower, Mackenzie Hayes, worked at the office for six days before moving to a new role. She says the document is a “racism policy” and speaks for itself.

“I thought it fit right in with what I had experienced,” Hayes said, as reported by the Tallahassee Democrat. “You know, the week that I was out there. There’s a reason that he worded it the way he did, and it’s not just because he’s some dumb idiot who doesn’t know the difference between someone who’s undocumented and someone who is Hispanic.”

Now if Hispanics would care enough at election time...

Separation of religion and state?

Texas state Senate approves bill to post Ten Commandments in public schools
The Texas state Senate approved a bill on Thursday that would require public schools in the Lone Star state to prominently display the Ten Commandments in every classroom.

The legislation, which passed the chamber with a 17-12 vote entirely along party lines, next heads to the state House of Representatives.

State Sen. Phil King (R), who authored the measure, said at a committee meeting earlier this month that such displays of the Ten Commandments acknowledge “the role that fundamental religious documents and principles had in American heritage and law.”
The Republican lawmaker noted that his new legislation comes in direct response to the Supreme Court’s decision last June in Kennedy v. Bremerton School District.

In the case, the justices sided with a high school football coach who was conducting prayers with students during and after games and threw out the Lemon Test, which was previously used to evaluate whether legislation violates the Establishment Clause.

“This legislation only became legally feasible with the Supreme Court’s overturning of the Lemon Test,” King said at the committee hearing. “I think this would be a good healthy step for Texas to bring back this tradition of recognizing America’s religious heritage.”

Another bill passed in the Texas state Senate on Thursday would allow school districts to require campuses provide a “period of prayer and reading of the Bible or other religious text on each school day.”

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) touted both bills as part of the fight for “religious liberty in Texas.”

“Allowing the Ten Commandments and prayer back into our public schools is one step we can take to make sure that all Texans have the right to freely express their sincerely held religious beliefs,” Patrick said in a statement.

“I believe that you cannot change the culture of the country until you change the culture of mankind,” he added. “Bringing the Ten Commandments and prayer back to our public schools will enable our students to become better Texans.”

A growing number of elected Republicans are increasingly questioning the separation between church and state.

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert (R) faced backlash last June when she said she was “tired of this separation of church and state junk.”
“The reason we had so many overreaching regulations in our nation is because the church complied,” Boebert said at the time. “The church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to direct the church.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) also suggested last July that the GOP should embrace Christian nationalism, or the ideology that the U.S. is a Christian nation and should make laws rooted in Christian values.

Red meat for the base, they know it will be struck down, but it will still cost the state millions in legal fees. Those are actually campaign contributions paid by the people of the state because they use that shit to gain support from religious fanatics, all on the government dime.
