Revolt of the masses: The left has overplayed
its hand

Original Article

I think the left is realizing it has a tiger by the tail. The people are getting uppity. Parents are assailing school boards over critical race theory and transgender madness. So much so that the Biden Justice Department is sending out the FBI to investigate whether, as the National School Boards Association bombastically charges, some parents are guilty of “domestic terrorism and hate crimes.” Boy, it’s lucky for those BLM/Antifa rioters in 2020 that they refrained from badmouthing teachers and school officials while torching the cities. Their “peaceful protests” might have been investigated.

Didn't someone say "Resistance is patriotic??"

And so far there is only one leader who is stepping up to fill the void that is encompassing disaffected patriotic American citizens.

"On the other hand, as we saw on Jan. 6, there is a difference between legitimate dissent and thuggish behavior. A few idiots spoiled it for everyone rallying at the Capitol that day." What passes for commentary from our side.

#5 - That jumped out at me also! Plus, the article was a bit light. I was expecting reporting on the loss of available pilots and attendants for the airlines, AT controllers not reporting, and the shortage of dock workers and truckers. Why not tell the story of the actual revolt starting rather than babble that "The left has overplayed its hand"? C'mon man! Tell us the news not your opinion! The Deplorables are at the barricades. We want front-line war dispatches!

Democrats are finding out that social media is a two edged sword. They can control the news media in fact, the news media is their propaganda arm. However, average citizens capturing moments of dissent on their phones and posting them online is another matter. Even just sharing them among friends and family is having an effect because they can post them too which is critical in getting the word out. This is why big tech is so into censorship. They know communication is an important part of dissent and they want to quash it. Foolishly our tech overlords underestimate the will of the American people when our rights are being trampled. Each video I see makes me so proud to be an American. Each parent or grandparent stepping up to defend their children’s God given rights is music to my ears. The left always underestimates we the people because they don’t know who we are and dismiss us as inferior know nothings. They have gotten an earful from these Patriots and I just want to hear more. While our esteemed elected Republicans can’t seem to find a backbone, Americans are stepping up and getting it done. Bravo to them!

I don't care which Party People belong to, the Mandates and high gas prices and huge increase in Heating your house affects everyone the same. Every single day something new hits the News. First it was the Huge embarrassment of Afghanistan, then the Border surges, then the Vaccine Mandates. Also, Parents began to wake up to what was being taught in their Children's Schools and began to let their School Boards hear what they think about it! Follow that with the FBI threatening to jail those Parents. Every day, with the Biden Administration, is a new crisis. People are tired of it. I truly that all of this turmoil will bring a lot of INDEPENDENT voters back to the Republican Party. They may have strayed to Biden for one election, but I would bet my House they won't make that mistake twice! I think Democrats know it, and they are terrified that Trump will run, and win in 24. I think those in Power also see the writing on the Wall, so they are going to push through as much of their Agenda as they can before being thrown out of Power! We're in for a real Rough Ride until 2022!

We had better get serious about the invasion at our borders. Cartels with the help of the Obama and Biden administrations, are firing into the U.S. I suspect that it won’t be long before their weapons are obtained from the U.S. military via Afghanistan. Men, it is time to ignore the feminists and limp twisted metrosexuals and lead. #2, no offense but I strongly suspect you’re wrong. Biden is incompetent. Democrats are using him to their advantage. The Democrat establishment is Communist. It is evil. Everything that they do right now is intentional.

I'm all for positive, hopeful articles, but it seems we keep ignoring that Biden's massive criminal network, who perpetuated the voter fraud in Nov 2020, has not yet been prosecuted and are getting reading for round 2 - the 2022 midterms. They're still out there in the shadows planning daily and know they have nothing to fear from the FBI or Justice Department. If the Marxists are able to stay in power, the oppression will simply get worse. We need a miracle.

The Left has overplayed it's hand for years. And the American people get it. The American people are not fooled and fight back strong at the voting booth. This is how Trump was elected. But we still have an election stolen from us, and our border wide open, lawlessness everywhere you look. The Left is winning even though the American people can see all of this right in front of our faces. At some point, you get the feeling something more will need to be done other than vote and attend school board meetings.

Another thought. The beginning of the end for the Vaccine Mandates being forced on the citizens (not illegal aliens) or shall we call it the breaking of the dam is when the YOUTH in College Football Stadiums started yelling F Joe Biden. It's now being yelled in Europe. Like a WAVE this chant has gone around the Country and the world and people are finally fighting back. Americans see that they are not alone. Others are as mad as them. And they are willing to pay the price of not having some foreign matter injected into their bodies for religious reasons or other. The person who really sees this is Bongino. God bless him!

I saw very clear video of the "thugs" beating on the windows of the capital. All dressed in black with black backpacks. Who dresses like that? My wife commented at the time they did not look like Trump supporters. I have not seen that video since. Who were they? Why have the vaunted investigative abilities of law enforcement been unable to identify them? Facial recognition? Are they among the identified but not indicted? Why? Were they, as alleged by the "alt-right news organizations", actually government agent provocateurs? Do your senators or does your representative know why they are still unidentified?

The White House on Tuesday warned Republican governors of Texas and Florida that President Joe Biden would override their efforts to fight coronavirus vaccine mandates in their states. “We know that federal law overrides state law,” she said referring to state attempts to ban vaccine passports. She accused Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott of playing politics by issuing executive orders that fight vaccine passports. “Why would you be taking steps that prevent the saving of lives that make it more difficult to save lives across the country or in any state?” she asked. Psaki argued that the governors were “putting politics ahead of public health.”

Law professor Wendy Murphy said Tuesday on MSNBC that the Texas legislature should be impeached for treason for passing a law banning abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy. Murphy said, “I think that it is so clear that the six-week abortion ban is unconstitutional. What everybody should be talking about is whether a state can avoid complying with the Constitution by passing a law that forbids the courts to correct them when they do it.” She continued, “So, in my opinion, the Texas legislature should be impeached for treason.

But since the Democrats and media politicized the completely safe, inexpensive and effective medications the Customs agents are on the lookout for these cheap drugs. The agents captured packages of 100 Ivermectin pills, 32 Ivermectin pills and 40 hydroxychloroquine pills. Meanwhile Mexican cartels continue to smuggle record amounts of fentanyl into the country this year.

A 16-year-old student in Wyoming was arrested and the entire school was placed on lockdown — all because she refused to wear a mask. Grace Smith, 16, had already been suspended twice from Laramie High School in Wyoming for refusing to wear masks in class. As the brave student attempted to go to class unmuzzled once again, she was met with police and given a $500 citation. When she was told to leave the school, she refused to comply. At that point, she was handcuffed and arrested. As the situation unfolded, an announcement over the loudspeaker said that “we are in a lockdown, please stay in your rooms.”

The mandate, issued by executive order in August, requires all Los Angeles County employees to be fully vaccinated by Oct. 1 but allows religious and medical exemptions. Villanueva, who oversees the largest sheriff’s department in the county with approximately 18,000 employees, said Thursday in a Facebook Live event that his workforce is willing to be terminated if it means that they do not have to get the vaccine.

This is what Dr. Robert Malone, inventor of the mRNA technology warned about. The spike proteins are not staying at the injection site and they are dangerous. Protein in the blood can be very dangerous. A Canadian cancer vaccine researcher said last week, “We made a big mistake.

The voluntary goals finalized Wednesday for 163 foods are intended to help lower the amount of salt people eat. A majority of the sodium in U.S. diets comes from packaged or restaurant foods — not the salt added to meals at home — making it hard for people to make changes on their own.

Millions of retirees will see a significant boost to their Social Security checks as the Biden administration gave its cost of living adjustment (COLA) the most significant boost in nearly 40 years. Social Security checks will raise 5.9%, about $92 for the average retired worker, in a shocking display of inflation. For the last 10 years, an inflation lull has led to checks that rise only 1.65% per year on average.The Social Security Administration has not raised benefits so drastically year-over-year since 1982. A typical retired worker will now receive $1,657 a month starting next year while a typical couple's benefits will rise $157 to $2,753 per month.
