It’s a familiar trope: The agitated young “transgender” person claims that being “misgendered” left him or her “literally shaking.” I’ve always seen that as a sign of a tragically weak human being. However, last night, while watching Dinesh D’Souza’s Police State, I found myself literally shaking, too. Maybe I’m pathetically weak, or maybe that movie triggered such a strong “fight or flight” response in me that, sitting there in my seat, unable to react to either instinct, all I could do was tremble.
Why is the movie so powerful? Because using a combination of reenactments, interviews, news footage, police body cams, and individuals’ security cameras, D’Souza has compellingly put together

The FBI has literally become the KGB. Step up and expect to be able to exercise the “right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” is essentially gone.
No court will protect us from these FBI criminal thugs with teams of gunners, it appears. And nothing at all is done to these Thugs With Badges, as they run absolutely over our Constitutional Rights. Apparently those rights are just gone.
I hope that we can still vote our way out of this, but it is seeming less likely. I'm old and no matter what happens, likely done with this world in less than 20 years. The young people today, don't actually seem to care about lost freedoms, in general. Instagram "stars" and Facebook pages are apparently more real and important to them than any sort of real world freedoms.
"Not with a bang, but a whimper." comes to mind.
I wonder if a new American Revolution to take us back to the US Constitution, as written, is even possible today?

Innocent Americans are being terrorized by fbi and doj that is destroying our rock solid foundation of Truth justice and the American way. Main street, farm fields and Mom and pops lost all respect for the thugs running our institutions. Everyone of those boots on the ground Hannity respects so much are no different than your run of the mill Stasi . We are at the point where the innocents can not get a good lawyer to wrench them from this evil. God Bless America.

If the order came to load the Gulag trains, how many LEOs would obey? My guess is 75%. Think it wont happen? If the Democrats win the 2024 elections, count on it.

FTA - "People need to wake up and understand that what’s happening in D.C. is not the same government that they remember growing up. This is a government that, thanks to the Patriot Act and technology, has unimaginable power and is willing to use it against anyone who threatens this power. There’s very little time left for Americans to vote in ways that can restore balance to the system. In this case, passivity is a slow march to full police-state hell."
The choice is ours.

Just now when I tried to find out what theaters were carrying the movie near me, I got a big red warning from McAfee that "We tested this page and blocked content coming from potentially dangerous or risky sites."
Mmmm...gotta wonder.

The America I grew up in is not the America we have today. J6er's held in jail for 2 years with no trial, and while prosecutors take their time trying to find something to charge them with. I naively thought we had laws against double jeopardy, only to see that sidestepped with charges in a federal court, then a state court. I never thought I would live to see a client's attorney offices raided, and their files and computers taken off. I thought there was attorney client privilege, only to see attorneys charged, and thumbscrewed into testifying against their client. I thought there was executive privilege, only to see a president's staff publish their conversations in the media. I thought we were a nation of laws, only to be told they are broken, and not to be followed by those that don't like them. I once thought we had impartial judges. Was that naive, or what? I never thought we would have a coup in our face at the presidential level, our elections turned into selections. Then, who would have thought we would have a presidential administration that would intentionally destroy our economy, and get us into a war with Russia, and now the muslim world. Who would have ever thought a presidential administration would have laughed at deficits, and given away our status as the world's reserve currency?

I got my first job in 1967 with off duty cops who suggested that I at age 17 should have sex with a 15 yr old girl. One of the cops, while on duty stopped me while driving--to scare me! He knew my car. I have never been in trouble with the law but my lifelong observations of cops leads me to believe that they frequently abuse their authority. The Supreme Court ruling that its ok for cops to lie to us but we go to jail for lying to them (see Martha Stewart) does not inspire confidence in cops. A high school bully became a cop and gave my best friend a ticket for going 45 in a 45 zone. The ticket rsaid it was a 35 zone. A local policeman told me recently that we only have 10 bad cops in our city. *Only* ten! As if thats acceptable. I have a lifetime of these stores that I witnessed.

The mentally challenged student I went to school with became a cop. There was no way he could handle that kind of responsibility. And by the time he was 35 he got himself in a bad law enforcement situation and was shot to death by the perp. He should have been permanently tied to a desk job at the station. He was a nice guy but just very dim.

So how are we supposed to know their preferred pronouns? It isn't like they have them tattooed on their foreheads somewhere. Persecution of people who don't know this stuff is indeed KGB Stasi tactics.
