This is well done and very Republican. Joe Biden: Our nation was founded on a simple idea: We're all created equal. We've never lived up to it — but we've never stopped trying. This Independence Day, let's not just celebrate those words, let's commit to finally fulfill them. Happy #FourthOfJuly! https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/1279468678199734272 #Biden #Independence #Republican

Biden Campaign Refuses To Release Cognitive Test Results
Joe #Biden told reporters that he’s been “tested and am constantly tested” for cognitive decline... Biden never actually said what any of the results were.
I'm old enough to remember a press conference a few weeks ago when Trump said he'd been tested for COVID-19, and reporters shouted demands to know the results. Not the same if you're Biden

Was just told by mall security that sitting and reading my book (any book) while I wait for my son is not allowed. Sitting and waiting is allowed. But not reading a book. Covid rules make so much sense. So now I'm standing next to the only seating in the mall reading my book standing up. That's fine, apparently.

When you consider what an enormous windfall gain it is to be born in America, it is painful to hear some people complain bitterly that someone else got a bigger windfall gain than they did. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1279039290656395264 #Mises #America

Thousands of free blacks owned slaves in the antebellum South. And, years after the Emancipation Proclamation in the United States, whites as well as blacks were still being bought and sold as slaves in North Africa and the Middle East. https://twitter.com/ThomasSowell/status/1278727162967863297 #Mises #Africa #MiddleEast #UnitedStates

"it's a phrase designed to use Black people."
Voddie Baucham: I can't support Black Lives Matter "because I love black people"
"And what worries me is that there are so many Christians who are not taking that stand. We have to separate this movement from the issues. I know that [Black Lives Matter] is a phrase that is part of an organization. It is a trademark phrase. And it's a phrase designed to use Black people."
Dean of Theology at African Christian University Voddie Baucham denounced the Black Lives Matter movement, saying people, and Christians especially, need to separate the issues from the movement.
Wait... Any Corona type virus, including the common cold can be reported as COVID-19 positive?
@Sunnywindows@social.quodverum.com what is the source of this? Surprising to me.
The Media is Lying About the ‘Second Wave’
Ron Paul
"Billions of appropriated Federal dollars are being funneled to facilities based on the number of “Covid cases” they can produce. As I’ve always said, if you subsidize something you get more of it. And that’s why we are getting more Covid cases."
The Present Moment Has Set Blacks Back a Half-Century
According to the make-believe world of the left, we are experiencing a great moment in American racial history. For the first time, the story goes, more whites than ever are

Planned Parenthood isn't about health care.Every year, Planned Parenthood commits over 1/3 of U.S. abortions — over 321,000. That’s equivalent to St. Louis or Pittsburgh wiped out every year.That’s over 880 abortions every day.One abortion every 98 seconds. https://twitter.com/prageru/status/1277673985195442176 #Prager #Pittsburgh #StLouis

If you're reading this, then you're probably not oppressed. Not only are you not oppressed, but it's unlikely that anybody cares about you enough to oppress you.Perhaps you're oppressed by your own mindset. That's tragic. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1277540208087642112 #Zuby

Re There are millions of people around the world who are legitimately oppressed.They live in fear, face persecution, and have their rights restricted due to their nationality, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, or religion.If you are not one of them, stop diluting their struggle. https://twitter.com/ZubyMusic/status/1277547136582930432 #Zuby
