A Bit of Wisdom from Harry S. Truman
Kansas City, MO...Harry S. Truman May 8, 1884 – December 26, 1972. Our 33rd President.
“Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
"You know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break."
"Those who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination."
"I do not believe there is a problem in this country or the world today which could not be settled if approached through the teaching of the Sermon on the Mount."
"When even one American - who has done nothing wrong - is forced by fear to shut his mind and close his mouth - then all Americans are in peril."
"The best way to give advice to your children is to find out what they want and then advise them to do it."
“Show me a man that gets rich by being a politician, and I'll show you a crook.”
"The buck stops here!"

lil don, and many other MAGATS are fomenting violence with their violent rhetoric.
Standing next to Trump at the fair, Gaetz said that while he and supporters were having a "great time" at the fair, they know that only "force" can make a change.
the don has also called for violence, and in the past week, the judges presiding over lil don's indictments have had death threats.
The FBI killed a well publicized man in Utah, that said he was going to kill Biden.
A christain minister said last week the peaceful message of Jesus is being replaced with retributive passages from the bible.
Fascists for ages, have married their wealth to religion to play the masses to make change that would enrich them more, and overthrow governments, nothing new.

So how about Truman's quote on those getting rich through politics?
Is that one bs too?

Focus on the real issue!!! Look at DC. It is the highest per capita income metro in the US.
The problem with the Hunter Biden story isn't that it may or may not be true. The real evil is that the entire region believes they are all entitled to wealth they not only did not earn but do not have the skill to earn.
The only way they can make money is through influence peddling or inside deals.

Yes, the Jared Kushner deal is an example of that. However he does actually have commercial real estate skills and his entire family is in real estate.
Who knows the "investors" might even make money on the deal.

Freedom of Speech almost absolute!! Who's speech is no longer worthy of being free?
The crux of freedom of speech is will you allow even speech you dislike, don't believe or think is wrong to be said and published?
Anything short of this and you do not actually believe in the first amendment and cannot be trusted with governmental power!!!

What a disingenuous response!! You know very well almost the entire govt was weaponized against "Wrong think" during covid.
If you are at FB or Twitter and the FBI comes and says we think you should remove this or that person what do you think they did?
What would you do?
It was govt intimidation at the very least!!!

This is where conservatives get confused. You may have an option some people don’t like. Being told that people don’t agree or like your opinion is not being censored or cancelled.
However, when the government passes laws that prohibit speech, books, certain college classes, or even medical decisions - that is wrong and dangerous. That is limiting freedom. That is inhibiting life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Kelly Anne Conway opened the new administration of the don, that they are using "alternative truth".
Alternative truth is nothing more than lies.
The entire donnie administration was nothing but lies.
3/4 of one million US citizens died due to the don's Covid lies.
You have the right to different views, you don't have different facts, when they are well corroborated, from many sources.
The extreme right seems to campaign on lies, their main tool is misinformation, or denial of truth.
Fox, Newsmax, OAN, farcebook, X and hate radio all use misinformation to brainwash otherwise rational minds into a cult built on lies.
The stolen election is still promoted by those who were indicted. Sadly, some still believe this lie.
Sidney Powell, Mike pillow guy, and others this week were still promoting this lie to their cult followers.
The biggest liar is the don.

The right believes as an adult you can say and do whatever you like. Adults however do not have the right to cut the genitals off of children, force kindergarteners to watch or learn about any sex until they are age appropriate.

A trans biological male just won a woman's world record but 131lbs. Which buy definition means an actual woman will never win that title again.
You are allowing females sports to be destroyed!! Setting back decades of title 9 progress etc.
If this continues what parent in their right mind would even allow their daughters to compete??
What would even be the point

Trans people in competitive sports is a complex issue. I don’t know what the right answer is at the professional level.
It is also a tiny fraction of athletes.

No it's not complex at all.
Trans athletes should have a class/league of their own in all sports. They can compete against themselves.
If that's not going to happen let's just drop the blinders and let men into all women's sports at all levels.
Stop the 'we're biological females' B.S.

Fascinating that you have no concerns for trans male athletes.
Excluding women who are trans hurts all women. It invites gender policing that could subject any woman to invasive tests or accusations of being “too masculine” or “too good” at their sport to be a “real” woman. In Idaho, the ACLU is representing two young women, one trans and one cis, both of whom are hurt by the law that was passed targeting trans athletes.
Further, this myth reinforces stereotypes that women are weak and in need of protection. Politicians have used the “protection” trope time and time again, including in 2016 when they tried banning trans people from public restrooms by creating the debunked “bathroom predator” myth. The real motive is never about protection — it’s about excluding trans people from yet another public space. The arena of sports is no different.

Let's face it, parents and doctors have been assigning sex through surgery to infants born with sexually ambiguous genitalia for well over 50 years, probably much longer than that.
What many adults don't like is the idea that their minor child should have their own choice about the issue.
That's threatening to many parents' own ideas and hopes about their children's identity.
What will our friends think?
What will our community think?
Parents, can be real self serving weasels.

Both sides have issues!! I am extremely conservative but I believe the gop's approach on abortion has been wrong.
It should be a woman's choice period. That said I believe a woman who makes that choice will have to deal with the fact that she killed one of her own children.
That however is between her and God. Not governing policy.

An unborn child is more important. Even if the baby is killing the mother. Let alone a suffering unborn child that will not survive, to only die in agony after it's birth. To think in 2023 that a gun has more constitutional rights than a woman is truly sickening. These men in power are not medical professionals. Left or right, the blame games, to pointing fingers; the America we live in is disgusting. And we do nothing but allow this to happen.

Further, they HAVE NOT been used since, within the country to maintain it, not even during the civil war or January 6th.
