SPECIAL MEMORIAL DAY REPOST. FICTION- REWARD FOR THE FALLEN. FULL STORY.
PART 1.
The man found himself on a dirt road. How he came to be there was a mystery, for he could not remember the circumstances of his arrival. In fact, he had no recollection of anything in the past. All around him was an alien landscape and heavy foliage lined the path that stretched into the distance.
As he gasped in frustration, he became aware of an approaching figure on the other side. While this individual was dressed in now familiar clothes, his manner and look were different. To the man, he appeared to be in his early twenties, but his wide-open smile set him apart from recent contacts.
As he passed through the gate, Tony became aware of the beauty of his new surroundings, and a feeling of peace and serenity settled over him. Suddenly, he understood. Turning to his companion he asked, "Is this just for us, no one else. Why?"

A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE "EMPTY" ASSERTION, COURTESY OF A FASCIST FLUNKY FROM THE GOP. PART 1.
"EMPTY" ASSERTION- ANY STATEMENT, (WRITTEN OR ORAL), THAT CLAIMS TO BE FACTUAL, BUT HAS LITTLE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE OR DATA THAT CAN WITHSTAND PROPER SCRUTINY. In many cases, the act of criticizing the Assertion is discouraged, AND IT MUST BE ACCEPTED WITHOUT QUALIFICATION.
...AND I ALSO SAW THIS LIST ON TWITTER:
Mike Lee blames single mothers. Kevin McCarthy blames doors. Ted Cruz blames unarmed teachers. Marjorie Taylor Greene blames lack of prayer. Lauren Boebert blames immigrants. Paul Gosar blames the LGBTQ community.
FROM JOHN STUART MILL
“Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
WHAT IS MILL SAYING?
IF YOU TOLERATE EVIL BY NOT CONFRONTING IT, YOU BECOME PART OF THE PROBLEM.
BY DEFINITION: GUN CONTROL, AND THE 2ND AMENDMENT. PART 2.
To further understand the meaning of the wording contained in the 2nd Amendment, we must also look to another part of the U.S CONSTITUTION that addresses the same subject matter.
The following is taken from ARTICLE 1, SECTION 8 of the U.S. CONSTITUTION.
"To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;"
As you can see the term "MILITIA" is used, and its ROLE, MISSION, AND THE RULES THAT MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR IT TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND LEGALLY ARE LAID OUT.
At the time of its initial Formation and Independence, the UNITED STATES had virtually no standing NATIONAL ARMY. (Not the Professional Force where Soldiers are Recruited and Trained for Full Time Duty, or CAREER TYPE EMPLOYMENT). THE MILITIA WAS A NECESSITY TO PROTECT THE NEW NATION UNTIL A STANDING MILITARY BODY COULD BE CREATED FOR FULL-TIME DEPLOYMENT.
To understand the role that the MILITIA WAS TO TAKE IN PROTECTING THE COUNTRY THEN, AND IN THE FUTURE, WE MUST LOOK TO THE WORDING CONTAINED IN THE ABOVE PASSAGE TAKEN FROM THE BODY OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Perhaps the phrase "CITIZEN SOLDIER" is familiar to you, but do you know what it really refers to? We will examine this in the next Article regarding this Subject Matter.

APPRECIATE THE STAND THEY ARE TAKING. IT'S A START.
AS OF RIGHT NOW- Don McLean, Larry Gatlin, Larry Stewart, and Danielle Peck have pulled out of performing at the NRA Convention this weekend. Mclean said It would be“disrespectful and hurtful” after the “terrible, cruel” Texas school shooting.
Criticize Don McLean all you want, for agreeing to perform in the First Place, but at least he and the other performers took a stand, basically saying;
"YES, THERE IS A LINE I WON'T CROSS."
So, for that one night, it won't be:
"THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED..."
BUT...
"THE NIGHT HONOR DIDN'T DIE."
BY DEFINITION: GUN CONTROL, AND THE 2ND AMENDMENT. PART 1.
(AS HAS HAPPENED AFTER OTHER HORRIFIC SHOOTINGS, THE DEATH OF INNOCENTS WILL NOT CONVINCE THE FASCIST FOLLOWERS OF TRUMP AND PUTIN TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO PREVENT FURTHER MASSACRES. NOW, WE KNOW THE GOP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS, LET ALONE SOMEONE ELSES, AND DISARMING DOMESTIC TERRORISTS COULD LEAD TO NEGATIVE PUBLICITY FROM FOX NEWS.
HOWEVER, AS USUAL, DEMOCRATS REFUSE TO CONFRONT AND DESTROY THE 2ND AMENDMENT DEFENSE USED BY THE NRA LAPDOGS IN THE SENATE, WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT MAKES ME WONDER ABOUT WHO LEADS THE OPPOSITION.
SO, ONCE AGAIN, A REFRESHER;
BY DEFINITION: GUN CONTROL, AND THE 2ND AMENDMENT. PART 1.
Trying to cut through all the Hyperbole about the 2nd Amendment, and how Free or Restrictive Gun Ownership and/or Possession should be, is a daunting task. However, let's give it a try.
SEE PART TWO.

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE...
HONOR THEM BY TRYING TO PREVENT
ANOTHER ACT OF PURE EVIL...
HOW?
DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE...
... a Political Party that Supports a Nationwide Agenda of;
- Racism
- Homophobia
- Xenophobia
- Religious Bigotry.
- Fascist control of the Media.
...and
Pushes an Irrational and Anti-Intellectual mindset
that denies Advances in Science and Medicine so they
can exploit these denials politically.
...or Has a Foreign Policy
- that supports Dictators and Despots.
- that admires Heads of State that pursue
a FASCIST AGENDA.
- that protects those Nations seeking to
conquer neighboring countries.
...and is willing
- to commit treason and sedition to maintain power in the U.S.
...REALLY CARES ABOUT ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T
REVOLVE AROUND THEIR OWN SELF-CENTERED SET
OF BELIEFS, WHERE THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND THEM,
AND THE REST OF HUMANITY EXISTS ONLY TO BE USED AND EXPLOITED
TO GRATIFY THEIR OWN SETS OF WANTS AND DESIRES?
School shootings are just another day at the office for the REPUBLICAN PARTY. (GOP)
TO THEM, IT IS A QUESTION OF HOW CAN WE EXPLOIT THIS?
WHERE MOST SEE TRAGEDY...THEY SEE OPPORTUNITY.
STOP ENABLING EVIL BY PLACING IN POWER THOSE WHO BELIEVE HATE IS THE WAY OF THE WORLD, AND TOUGH LUCK IF YOU GET IN ITS WAY.
IF THIS IS TRUE...CALLING RANDY FINE SCUM...WOULD BE INSULTING SCUM EVERYWHERE.
Just another day in Florida with Randy Fine threatening the President of the United States after children and adults were shot & murdered at a school in Texas.
NEWSWEEK DOES CONFIRM IT, COMING FROM TWITTER.Tuesday, May 24, 2022
VLAD AND DONALD, IT WAS A GOOD PLAN...BUT HUMANITY IS MORE THAN JUST SYCOPHANTIC SELF-CENTERED YES MEN...PART 13.
Of course Donald, you and the Fascists in the GOP are counting on the opposition not to press forward and expose the IRRATIONALITY AND DOUBLE STANDARDS BUILT INTO THE FAR- RIGHTS MEDIA CAMPAIGN.
For example: Ultra-Conservatives still control FACEBOOK, blocking as many Liberal/Progressive Viewpoints as they can get away with, while still allowing TRUMPIAN PROPAGANDA TO BE PUBLISHED WITH LITTLE EDITORIAL STANDARDS REGARDING THE TRUTH AND ACCURACY OF THE INFORMATION BEING REPORTED.
What is even Scarier is the MIND NUMBING CORRUPTION OF THE FEW JUDGES WHO HAVE SUSTAINED YOUR BASELESS AND NONSENSICAL CHARGES THAT TWITTER AND OTHER MEDIA SITES DELIBERATELY DISCRIMINATE AGAINST YOU AND OTHER FASCIST VOICES ON THE INTERNET.
Having Editorial standards regarding THE TRUTHFULNESS AND VERIFIABILITY OF FACTUAL DATA has long been allowed, (JUDICIALLY), and is a perfectly ACCEPTABLE WAY TO MAINTAIN STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONALISM IN THE MEDIA. Yet, these Black-Robed Clowns have come up with an "EXCUSE" that, They Think, Circumvents the Law.
How so? Forcing SOCIAL MEDIA SITES to allow you, and your Brainwashed Acolytes, to publish anything you want, with no attention given to the DELIBERATE LIES AND SCANDALOUS MISINFORMATION that is the Hallmark of your Political Agenda. This is little more than a 21st Century version of Hitlers Germany, or Stalinist Russia where Corrupt Lawmakers and a Biased Judiciary work towards a goal of enforcing a specific POLITICAL AGENDA that moves away from the Freedoms of a Constitutional Republic, and establishes OLIGARCHAL RULE THROUGH A FASCIST IDEOLOGY.
(You know all about that, right VLAD? All citizens in the U.S. have to do is look at STATE CONTROL OF THE COURTS AND THE NEWS MEDIA IN RUSSIA, TO SEE WHAT LIFE WOULD BE LIKE WITH TRUMPIAN STOOGES IN CONTROL OF THESE TWO INSTITUTIONS)
How bad is it FOR THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ACTUALLY READ THE CONSTITUTION, AND WANT IT APPLIED UNIFORMLY AND FAIRLY?
Consider this Question. Donald:
What are these JUDGES ALLOWING FOXNEWS, NEWSMAX, and all other Conservative Media Outlets to do, or not do, by choice, that is being made mandatory to Sites like Twitter?

THE CONSTITUTION IS MORE THAN JUST THE 2ND AMENDMENT.
Amendment VI- INCLUDES SEVERAL EXAMPLES OF ABSOLUTE RIGHTS.
"All criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
CONTINGENT RIGHTS- RIGHTS EXTENDED TO THE INDIVIDUAL THAT ARE SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE LIMITATION OR TERMINATION DEPENDING ON THE INDIVIDUALS ACTIONS AND/OR INTENT IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS OR SPECIFIC EVENTS.
For Example:
The First Amendment reads as follows:
""Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Michigan election chief: Trump suggested I be arrested for treason and executed. NBC NEWS.
Jocelyn Benson said she was told that the former president made the remark in a White House meeting. A Trump spokesman accused Benson of lying.

WHO DO YOU BELIEVE: A KNOWN LIAR AND TRAITOR WHO WAS PLACED IN OFFICE
THROUGH A RIGGED ELECTION...
...AND ONE OF HIS SUBVERSIVE/FASCIST SYCOPHANTS...
...OR SOMEONE WHO WAS DOING HER JOB HONORABLY?
THAT'S A TOUGH ONE.
REMEMBERING RECENT ELECTIONS- DON'T ALLOW TRUMPIAN TREASON TO SUCCEED: THE 2018 MID-TERM ELECTIONS: LEARNING NOTHING FROM THE 2016 ELECTION DEBACLE.
the topic of the 2016 Presidential Election would be something
that would be hard to miss. I have covered and written extensively
on the Candidates, Issues, and Results. Through all of this, I came
to one CONCLUSION: THE RESULTS IN AT LEAST 6 STATES WERE
BOGUS, AND DELIBERATELY ALTERED TO ENSURE DONALD TRUMPS
ELECTION TO THE OVAL OFFICE. I AM NOT GOING TO REVIEW ALL
THIS INFORMATION HERE, SINCE IT IS AVALABLE IN OTHER AREAS
ON THIS WEBSITE.
HOWEVER, WHAT ABOUT POSSIBLE IRREGULARITIES IN OTHER
RACES? WELL, I WAITED UNTIL THE 2018 MID-TERM ELECTIONS
WERE 0VER, AND ANALYZED THE NMBERS FROM THE 2016 AND 2018
U.S. SENATE ELECTIONS.
HERE IS THE RESULT.
With the Mississippi Senatorial contest over, we can now examine
New Make Up of the U.S. Senate.
REPUBLICANS- 11 VICTORIES.
INDEPENDENTS- 2 VICTORIES.
20 WINS. 4 LOSSES.
REPUBLICANS DEFENDED 9 SEATS.
7 WINS 2 LOSSES.
INDEPENDENTS DEFENDED AND WON 2 SEATS.
THE NEW SENATE WILL BE MADE UP OF:
53 REPUBLICANS
45 DEMOCRATS.
2 INDEPENDENTS.
ARE JUST BEING USED FOR COMPARISON.)
