Cover Pro-Life Clothes to See Bill of Rights

Original Article

The National Archives on Friday apologized for telling visitors that they must cover up or remove their pro-life attire while being in the chamber where the original copy of the Bill Of Rights is on display.  “As the home to the original Constitution and Bill of Rights, which enshrine the rights of free speech and religion, we sincerely apologize for this occurrence,”(snip) The apology comes after conservative law group American Center for Law & Justice (ACLJ), on behalf of four March for Life participants from three states, sued NARA for First Amendment violations. CORRECTIONS*

Comments:

If no one is fired or prosecuted for this offense, this is another one of those drive-by insults to Conservatives for which they apologize, even as they plan on the next offense.

The irony, of course, is lost on these Federal employees sworn to protect and defend our Constitution.

i'd think these bureaucrats would be lying low, considering the abominable job they are doing documenting and keeping track of government documents. one more just spring up at Pence's house, on top of the oodles that preceded. don't they know who has what and what is still checked out? my local library can help...apparently bureaucrats have no sense of competence - or shame.

Perhaps the low level woke employees who think they are the speech police should just be fired as a warning to the rest of them. But that would not be woke.

Government bureaucrats are democrats and the heart of the Deep State. What they do is deplorable but they can't help themselves - idiots, brainless & evil people.

Apology not accepted. These kids were robbed of the opportunity to visit the museum while in DC for another, paid-for, reason. The responsible employees should have to pay up out of THEIR own pockets - not mine.

For those who have visited the National Capitol Region (NCR), you may have noticed a recurring theme in the type of employees hired as security at the Smithsonian Museum exhibits, National Archives, etc. Let's just say that they are not the sharpest tools in the shed and they typically have a chip on their shoulder. Let's further say that said type of employee is not that easy to fire and...we'll leave it at that.

The National Archives should have to pay for each person they turned away to come back. This was probably a once in a life time trip for these students. With the economy the way it is, they should be reimbursed the money they paid for the trip, or be given a free trip to come back. Whoever made the decision to kick them out should be fired....after they had to read the Bill of Rights.

I had a few open days in D.C. and I went to every museum I could find. I went to the National Archives thinking I could see some of the old celebrated documents and along with the metal detector on entry I was gruffly greeted with a firm request for documentation from my state representative. I had no idea you needed an approved research document and the desk and guard looked ready to draw weapons. So much for it's being the peoples' institution.

It's more than ironic (not to mention hypocritical) to tell people who are guaranteed free speech in the Bill of Rights, that they have no free speech when viewing the Bill of Rights. Evil flourishes when good people do nothing about this kind of totalitarianism. Fire the person responsible for the dictum. Good for the ACLJ!

Real Americans, from across this vast and wonderful nation, understand there are NO real Americans in Washington, DC, except those already buried. Agree with poster #6. If President could do it without the salary, so could these so-called ''employees.'' We deserve better.

The ONLY reason there was even a pathetic so-called apology is that these people made an issue of it with an attorney and the National Archives and the Smithsonian were caught red handed. How many times in the past has this occurred and "offending" taxpayers and patriots dutifully removed their "offenses" in order to remain in the exhibit? And how many times does this happen, everyday, at other taxpayer financed institutions in all levels of government? I will bet, plenty. Fascist, fascist, fascist.

Some years back the Enola Gay was on display at the Smithsonian. It was roped off at about 20 feet. People were taking pictures of the WW II icon. I crouched down to take a low-angle shot and was approached by a guard and told I couldn't do that, and I could only take pictures while standing. No reason given. I'm sure the caliber of government workers (an oxymoron like jumbo shrimp) has only gotten BETTER.

Termination by Decimation is the only way out. ALL Federal employees regardless of rank are offered a $5000. cash buyout on Monday in return for voluntary resignation. Buyout goes until Friday. They are all numbered off automatically 1-5. On Friday one number is drawn. All employees with that number are terminated without severance pay, that day, without exception. Two Mondays later the whole operation is repeated. Repeat as necessary. Terminated employees prohibited from ever 'serving' again in any Bureau for life. Amazing what that will do for morale.

The former President has blasted Rihanna for the 'worst halftime show in Super Bowl history' after she already insulted 'far more than half our nation' by spray painting 'f*** Donald Trump' on a car.  Rihanna, with her baby bump beaming out of her red ensemble, stormed the stage in Arizona before the Chiefs became Super Bowl champions on Sunday night.  She gave the millions of viewers a sultry performance - however her racy dancing and risqué lyrics were perhaps too much for some family-friendly fans. Donald Trump - who has butted heads with the Barbadian singer multiple times in the past - clearly was not impressed

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Sunday she did not believe Jesus would support pro-Christian Super Bowl commercials because they make fascism “look benign.” The Christian group “He Gets Us” spent some $20 million on two advertisements that aired during Sunday’s Super Bowl portraying Jesus Christ as loving “the people we hate.” “Something tells me Jesus would *not* spend millions of dollars on Super Bowl ads to make fascism look benign,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on Twitter. (Tweet) One of the ads shows scene after scene of angry people in each other’s faces and ends with the caption “Jesus loved the people we hate. He gets us. All of us.”

Mayhem has broken out in the City of Brotherly Love following the Philadelphia Eagles' narrow Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Signs of unrest surfaced almost immediately after the team's 38-35 defeat Sunday night - with disgruntled fans already seen swarming City Hall and clashing with police that had been stationed throughout the city in case of such an outcome. Police scanner audio since 10:30pm suggests that cops have already made multiple arrests, as citizens have been seen scaling lampposts, chant 'f*** the Chiefs', and hurling glass bottles

You can tell that the progs who have monopolized late night comedy are scared out of their wits by the triumph of Gutfeld!, the Fox News competitor that has grabbed ratings leadership, despite a visibly smaller production budget and distribution lacking free broadcast TV stations. When it was announced that a promo video for the show would air during the Super Bowl, heads figuratively exploded. They know that exposing the show to the gigantic Super Bowl audience, many of whom had never heard of it, would inevitably drive sampling, and that some of the new viewers would stay with the show, further driving down their ratings.

Conservative author and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy is “seriously considering” a 2024 presidential bid after traveling to Iowa in January, he confirmed to the Daily Caller on Monday. Ramaswamy spoke with Iowa farmers and Republican leaders about reviving national identity and combatting woke ideology, the subject of his bestseller “Woke, Inc.: Inside Corporate America’s Social Justice Scam,” published in 2021. “I would say I’m seriously considering it, that’s where I’m at,” Ramaswamy told the Caller in a brief interview. He believes “we are in the middle of this national identity crisis” because “the things that used to define American national identity have disappeared.”

In the name of “equity,” the Biden administration and state Democrats have declared war on the suburbs: The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they’ve earned the money to pay for it or not. The Biden administration announced Jan. 19 that it will require all towns across the U.S. to submit “Equity Plans” showing how they will make it possible for low-income people to live there

This one was almost too stupid to cover, but sometimes the really stupid silliness is hard to pass up, which is nearly always the case with anything to do with MSNBC’s Morning Joe and its lovebird co-hosts, Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

On Friday’s episode of the Trump-bashing, Biden-loving comedy show, Mika beclowned herself bigly, which is a piece of cake for her and her emasculated hubby.
Pentagon Confirms Shot-Down Objects Aren't

Alright, maybe I was too quick to dismiss the possibility of aliens. The Pentagon gave a briefing on Sunday evening after yet another unidentified flying object was shot down, this time in US airspace over Lake Huron. Reports began to circulate that the object was an “octagon” and that it didn’t appear to be a balloon. That set off some speculation that the recent rash of UFOs were balloons, likely from China, but that they were simply shaped differently than one would expect. In a pretty shocking statement, though, Gen. Glen VanHerck made it clear that’s not the view of the US military. The UFOs not being balloons would be crazy enough,

The Illinois Department of Human Services is preparing to move 658 recent migrant arrivals into a former Kmart in Chicago for temporary shelter, WTTW News has learned. The 100,000-square-foot store has sat vacant at the corner of 71st Street and Pulaski Road on the city’s Southwest Side since 2016. Sources said the migrants — mostly asylum seekers — will be relocated from the suburbs, where they are currently staying at hotels. According to documents WTTW News obtained, the site was selected because of its nearby resources and because it is in a welcoming neighborhood. But some local officials are not yet ready to roll out the welcome mat.

A key signer of the open letter that wrongly suggested The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s emails was part of a “Russian information operation” has accused Politico of distorting “what we said” — more than two years after the fact. Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper tried Monday to tamp down the growing controversy over the letter that he and 50 other ex-spooks signed after The Post first revealed the existence of the first son’s infamous laptop in October 2020. Their public statement, now the subject of investigations by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Intelligence committees, was first reported by Politico

President Biden has fired the Architect of the Capitol, Brett Blanton, on Monday, a White House official told The Hill, following outrage over an inspector general report that found Blanton misused a government vehicle and allegedly impersonated a law enforcement officer. “After doing our due diligence, the Architect of Capitol was terminated at the President’s direction,” the official said. The president’s move comes hours after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) called for Blanton to step down or be removed Biden. House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-Wis.) and Ranking Member Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.) had also called for the resignation
