I used to take Junteenth off when I was working when I fould out what it was about. Now that I am retired.. I can't take that day off but I still honor my ancestors who were enslaved, those who made it to freedom, those who died enslaved!

Let's hope The Master doesn't change his mind and say they are NOT FREE anymore cause if someone had to FREE you that same someone can ENSLAVE you again. JuneTeenth2021 slavery JoeBiden 4thofJuly

Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed a new bill into law that claims to invalidate all federal gun control laws — and prohibits state and local cooperation with enforcement of those laws. But can a state actually invalidate a federal law? No.

not without leaving the union they cannot. So what are you saying there Missouri?

Every governor in the country should should sign such a bill!

kristiwelshies Missouri politicians seem to prefer anarchy.

Not only are they not going to help the feds enforce the law but there's a 50k fine if they do. So... you know how dangerous killers are arrested and the first charge is illegal possession of a firearm? They get them off the street while they organize the other charges. No more.

But it can refuse to enforce them.

Republican Ronny Jackson thinks the president should follow in Trump's footsteps to “document and demonstrate sound mental abilities.”

Take one yourself. But you won't since you'd fail, maybe?

Funny I thought the same of Ronny

Drunks should not ask for other people to be tested.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A St. Louis couple who gained notoriety for pointing guns at social justice demonstrators last year pleaded guilty Thursday to misdemeanor charges and agreed to give up the weapons they used during the confrontation.

BREAKING: A St. Louis couple who pointed guns at social justice protesters last summer plead guilty to misdemeanor charges. Patricia McCloskey and Mark McCloskey were both fined and agreed to forfeit their weapons.

Good!

You’re my heroes Mark & Pat. You stood your ground. You saved your home. And thank goodness you are both lawyers, or “the system” would have bankrupted you.

Total BS

Social Justice 😂😂😂😂😂 they were looking for a particular person at their particular house. It was a mob.

What? Racism & stupidity have consequences? lmao!🤣😂🤣 WTFacts? It was most likely the one & only time they got to brandish their assault weapons!

Four people were shot -- one fatally -- as a gunman went on a shooting spree in the northwest suburbs of Phoenix on Thursday, police said.

Ban guns

I don't remember this many shootings in the 1970's when I grew up yet at that point I believe a higher % of americans owned guns. It's not the guns, its more people who don't GAF.

Im certain it has nothing to do with 1,000,000 unknown persons who crossed into AZ illegally since Joe, nor the 100,000 felons released from prison since Joe, or the millions of laws no longer enforced since Joe

Ironically just legalize all weapons of war. Lapierre is not immune. NRA FoxNews GOP

Analysis: The former president promised that his Supreme Court picks would overturn the Affordable Care Act. He met the court's ruling with the deafening silence of defeat.

Analysis: Fmr. President Trump was wrong about the law, Obamacare politics and his judges.

How is this news? Tomorrow’s headline, the Sun came up. ☀️

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his government to be prepared for both dialogue and confrontation with the Biden administration — but more for confrontation, state media reported Friday, days after the United States and others urged the North to abandon its nuclear program and return to talks.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has ordered his government to be fully prepared for confrontation with the United States. U.S.-led talks aimed at dismantling North Korea's nuclear program have been stalled for more than two years.

But there were lovely letters



So Captain Wack A Mole saw leaders meeting around the world and needed attention I see.

Joe has officially shown weakness. Remember when all democrats said was “Donald Trump is going to start more wars” well all of that is actually happening under Biden. Trump started no wars. He actually ended a war. Trump2024

Biden needs to go over there and salute their generals. That’ll teach them! 🤣
