Being from Kentucky, the birth place of Abraham Lincoln, my classmates and I visited the Lincoln Memorial. I found myself face-to-face with Nathan Phillips and other professional protestors looking to turn me into the latest poster child showing why Trump is bad. While the media portrayed me as the aggressor with a “relentless smirk” on my face, in reality the video confirms I was standing with my hands behind my back and an awkward smile on my face that hid two thoughts. One, don’t do anything that might further agitate the man banging a drum in my face and two, trying to follow a family friend’s advice never to do anything to embarrass your family, your school, or your community.
Before I knew what was happening, it was over. One of Mr. Phillips fellow agitators yelled out “We got him!”, “It’s all right here on video” and We won Grandpa”. What I thought was a strange encounter, quickly developed into a major news story complete with video footage.
My life changed forever in that one moment. The full war machine of the mainstream media revved up into attack mode. They did so without ever researching the full video of the incident; without ever investigating Mr. Philips’ motives; or without ever asking me for my side of the story. And do you know why? Because the truth wasn’t important. Advancing their anti-Christian, anti-Conservative, anti-Donald Trump narrative was all that mattered. And if advancing their narrative ruined the reputation and future of a teenager from Covington, Kentucky…so be it. That will teach him not to wear a MAGA hat!
I learned that what was happening to me had a name. It was called being cancelled. As in annulled. As in revoked. As in made void.
Cancelled is what’s happening to people around this country who refuse to be silenced by the far left. Many are being fired, humiliated or even threatened. Often, the media is a willing participant.
But I wouldn’t be cancelled. I fought back hard to expose the media for what they did to me and won a personal victory. While much more must be done, I look forward to the day that the media returns to providing balanced, responsible and accountable news coverage.
I know President Trump hopes for that too. I’m proud to say that throughout my media nightmare I have had President Trump’s unwavering support.
“And together, I believe we must all embrace our 1st Amendment rights and not hide in fear of the media, or from the tech companies or the outrage mob either.”
He then donned his famous MAGA hat: “And one more thing … let’s Make America Great Again!”

Starting that crap already. Amazing...
The first black supporter is speaking and CBS and NBC elected to cover other speakers or the inability to win.
Manipulation....
Why are you listening to it?

This man knows better than most of us what it means to have no where else to go. I have said this before. There is no new world to escape to. If this country goes commie, we are trapped and will have to fight our way back to liberty.

If you, like me, missed the opening video from last night, here's a time-coded link to just before it starts.
Sure it's marketing, but shit, I'd take this vision of America over anything that's been pushed my way for the last 44 years of my life.

Don Lemon is on a "truth roll":
Don Lemon states what Democrats and supporters of the "Defund the Police" movement don't want to hear:
"Most Black people don't want police defunded. They don't want fewer police there. They want more. And most communities of color in this country need police..."
Richard Grenell, the former Acting Director of National Intelligence and former United States Ambassador to Germany, torched “unlimited globalization” and it’s devastating impact on America’s working and middle class during his speech at the Republican National Convention (RNC).
So for decades, while Washington politicians built a global system, American wages stagnated. Our great cities and industries were hollowed out. Entire communities were devasted, and our manufacturing plants were shipped off to China.
That’s what happened when Washington stopped being the capital of the United States, and started being the capital of the world.

And now Nancy Pelosi is stating that she doesn't think Shotgun Joe should debate Trump because she wouldn't "legitimize a conversation with him", that anybody with "truth, evidence, data and facts" on their side should not talk to Trump.

I just saw this about Pelosi telling Biden to cancel the debates.
This women, she’s is literally the epitome of evil. I just can’t fathom how any American could vote for her, with or without a conscience?
And I love how she tries to spin it as “beneath the dignity of the presidency.” She wouldn’t know dignity if it slapped her in the face.
Her and Biden are nothing more than stammering buffoons.
