#USDemocracy, #DemVoice1, #DemsUnited This tweet upsets me greatly. The disgusting treatment the poor kid received would be unbelievable, were it not hard, indisputable fact! 😢 It ranks up with Emmett Till, whose own short life was barbarically ended. His killers were acquitted in court, so got away scot free. The lying bitch who accused him died last year. She was never charged with anything. Indeed, a subpoena for abduction was never even served! 😡🤬 The deaths of those two boys were not something one would expect to happen in a supposed first world country, particularly from what was meant to be an honest, civilised justice system. 🤢🤮😡🤬 Unfortunately, there are still far too many creatures masquerading as humans, whose minds have not evolved beyond such primitive levels as those involved in the deaths of Emmett and George, albeit one was purportedly legal. Project2025 and maga are driven by some of those evolutionary throwbacks, headed up by the #OrangeKnuckleDragger, a modern day Neanderthal. Their attempt to establish authoritarianism must be stopped. #VOTEBLUE in November!

WE REMEMBER June 16,1944 *George Junius Stinney Jr. was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the 20th century in the United States.* He was only 14 years old when he was executed in an electric chair.* During his trial, even on the day of his execution, he always carried a bible in his hands, claiming to be innocent. He was accused of killing two white girls, 11-Year-old Betty, and Mary of 7, the bodies were found near the house where the teenager resided with his parents. At that time, all members of the jury were white. The trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was dictated 10 minutes later. The Boy's parents were threatened, and prevented from being present in the courtroom, and subsequently expelled from that city. Before the execution, George spent 81 days in prison without being able to see his parents. He was held in solitary, 80 miles from his city. He was alone without the presence of his parents or a lawyer. He was electrocuted with 5,380 volts in his head, imagine all that voltage in a teenager's head. *70 years later, his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina. The boy was innocent, someone set it up to blame him for being black.* May his innocent soul rest in peace.😭 *Tm BECKS🇸🇱* COPIED!

Stephen King’s The Green Mile was inspired by the tragic story of George Stinney Jr., the youngest person sentenced to death in the U.S. at just 14 years old.⁣ ⁣ Falsely accused of ki**ing two white girls in 1944, George faced a biased trial that lasted only two hours. He was executed in the electric chair, maintaining his innocence to the end.⁣ ⁣ 70 years later, his conviction was overturned when evidence proved he couldn’t have committed the crime. George’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of racial injustice and a system that failed an innocent child.⁣

What a tragic case! George lost his life & there was no justice for the victims. George Stinney Jr was falsely convicted at the age of 14. He was accused of killing two girls, Betty (age 11) and Mary (age 7). The bodies were found near the house where George lived with his parents. Before his execution, George spent 81 days in prison before he was ever able to see his parents. He spent this time in solitary confinement, in a jail 80 miles from the city. He was questioned without the presence of his parents or a lawyer. His trial lasted only 2 hours, and the sentence was handed down 10 minutes later. The boy's parents were not allowed in the court room, and was subsequently expelled from that city after the trial. During his trial & until the day of his execution, George always carried a Bible in his hands. On the day of his execution, they used the Bible he was carrying as a booster seat because he was too short for the adult sized electric chair. 70 years after his execution, a judge in South Carolina finally overruled George's conviction. It was determined that the beam used in the murder, which weighed more than 19.07 kilograms, would have been too large for George to lift. There was no way he could have used it to strike the victims. ‘The Green Mile’ by Stephen King was inspired by George's case.

The funeral of a 12 year old Black child that was executed by Latino gang members was held yesterday. He was assassinated last month by racist Mexican gang members in Long Beach. He was walking with his 14 year old sister when the mexicans pulled up on them and asked them where was they from, he told him he’s not in a gang and they still proceeded to chase the children gunning them down. He died and his 14 year old sister was also shot.

Jeff Hall believed in fighting for an all-white society and had said that he would die for the cause. He was the regional leader of the National Socialist Movement. In 2013, Joseph was sentenced to 10 years in a California juvenile facility for the crime.

🔥🚨 BREAKING — Elon Musk is calling for Derek Chauvin’s release, arguing the former officer was wrongly convicted of murdering George Floyd. In a direct post, Musk asserted that Chauvin neither caused the death nor intended it, and therefore does not meet the definition of a murderer. "Derek Chauvin was unjustly convicted of murder, therefore he should be freed." "The facts show that he was not the cause of death, nor did he at any time intend for a death to occur. Whatever else he may be, he is not a murderer." "That is the truth." The statement marks one of the highest-profile challenges to the conviction in years. Chauvin remains incarcerated on the state murder sentence.

FIRST ON FOX: Buster Murdaugh was spotted Thursday on the porch of his South Carolina home, one day after the South Carolina Supreme Court ruled that misconduct by a court official tainted his father, Alex Murdaugh’s, 2023 trial. The ruling overturned Alex Murdaugh’s murder conviction, which had sent him to prison for life. Despite the legal win Wednesday, Murdaugh will not be walking free - he remains behind bars serving lengthy sentences for a string of financial crimes that cemented his fall from power. Murdaugh was sentenced to 27 years in state prison after pleading guilty to 22 financial crimes. He also got 40 years in federal prison for fraud-related charges, which he is serving at the same time. | Fox True Crime Fox News US

Senator Tim Scott was visibly emotional on CNN as he remembered his friend and fellow South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham. SCOTT: “Well, Jake, gosh, America’s lost a true statesman.” “We don’t have many left. But he was a true statesman.” “But I’ve lost a friend. It is a morning of mourning for me.” “It’s a powerful reminder that life is fleeting, that we are not here very long.” “If I were to tell stories about Lindsey Graham, one of the most important stories is that when I was a new senator, he welcomed me in.” “He knew that my path was different. He understood the power of change in South Carolina and how much our state had changed. But he was one of the first folks in the Senate to welcome me in with open arms.” “And I will say that I do a South Carolina Prayer Breakfast every year in D.C. And I called Lindsey the first time, and Lindsey said, ‘Tim, if this thing starts before 10 A.M., I’m not coming because I’m not going—even if Jesus comes back before 10 A.M.’” “And I just laughed out loud. And of course, it started at 8:30. And who walked in the door at 8:31? Lindsey Graham.” “He was just the kind of committed person that you don’t really appreciate how committed he was to America.” “I can’t think of a more committed public servant to this country.”

Yes on the videos we have so far. The initial encounter was him filming them. There was no gun being brandished. They jumped out of vehicles to go to try to intimidate him. Unfortunately there's no video yet between then and when they had them on the ground. When they had him on the ground they were pistol whipping him, at first it looked like a baton, but it's actually a gun. They had him down with at least five officers. You got to wait for a second so he tried to stand up they shot him in the back he was motionless after they shot him in the back. Then there were four more shots or more after that unloaded into his body from a posture of standing above him. Not a defensive posture. He's supposedly has a gun. It looks like ICE took something out of a holster. So it's likely that he did have a HOLSTERED GUN in an open carry state that is not a reason to shoot someone to death. He was not brandishing it -- again it was his camera. That was the reason for the initial approach was to intimidate him about his camera. It is perfectly legal to film ice This is out not murder once again. Now there is some sort of speculation on social that a gun was dropped and a bullet went off. That would be the ICE AGENTS who took the gun out of his holster. I'll post some videos for people to see in the order that they happened.

Kyle Shanahan on Curtis Robinson: “He's really worked to get better each year, and he's a very talented guy. I think when he came here, he hadn't played in a system like this for a while. It took him a little bit to kind of pick that up, but we so believed in him as a guy and his talent level that after a year, you could start to see it clicking. He became a big asset on special teams, and last year was the first time that we really believed he was going to step in there, really contribute at linebacker at a high level. It was actually kind of a sad story, but it was about 20 minutes before he tours ACL, was the first time that I told him he'd be starting that week. It was his first start in his career, and he had earned it. We were going to move him ahead of Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles at the time. I had just told Flannigan, which was tough for Flannigan, but they were so tight, so he was happy for Curtis. Then it was about 20 minutes later that Curtis tore his ACL on special teams before he even got to a defensive rep. He was so coming in there and finally about to have his moment. Then he had that setback, which I know crushed the team for him. He's one of the most liked guys on our team, as good of a person and good of a dude as I've ever been around. He's worked for this moment, and we're excited to see him get his opportunity." via: 49ers on NBCS

Hunter Biden says Joe Biden was the poorest president to enter the White House since 1900 & averaged $170,000 a year across 45 years "They crushed my dad. When they saw their chance, they did everything in their power to push him out. You know why? Because he was never part of that club. He was never part of the Epstein class." "Literally my dad never bought a stock or a bond because he made a commitment in 1972 when he was 30 years old after Watergate never to own a stock or a bond." "My dad was the poorest person ever to enter the presidency. The poorest person not poorest, I mean, he had money — but he had the least amount of wealth entering the presidency in modern years, since 1900, than anybody." Hunter: "He made over $170,000 in average over the course of 45 years. But of not just the Senate, but 535 members of Congress, he was never a part of that club."

Peyton Manning talks about the time Jim Harbaugh tried recruiting him to join the 49ers when he hit free agency in 2012: “The 49ers were one of the first teams that I worked out for. They came down to North Carolina. I was at Duke and Harbaugh and Greg Roman came down and were very CIA like. They flew into another town in North Carolina because they didn’t want to get tracked by Adam Schefter or Chris Mortensen. Harbaugh had a hoodie on — Bill Belichick style at the workout in case Mort was in a tree, but he was great. I think he knew I was going through a strange time. At the time his San Francisco teams were awesome. They were tough. I was looking for a team that was kind of close to getting there and that wasn’t a rebuild. He was great.” via: NFL on ESPN

For the first time in 16 years, the United States has carried out three executions by lethal injection in a single day. Alabama: Jeremy Williams was executed for the 2021 r*pe and murder of a 5-year-old girl. On the gurney, he said: “I want to thank God for forgiving me for my sins so I can meet him in peace.” Williams offered the girl’s mother $2,500 to r*pe 5-year-old Kamarie Holland. He filmed the attack and strangled her. Oklahoma: Carlos Cuesta-Rodriguez was executed for murdering his girlfriend in 2003. He told a board he didn’t want clemency. Tennessee: Anthony Darrell Hines was executed for stabbing Catherine Jean Jenkins, a motel maid, to death in 1985.

Machiavelli was the opposite of Machiavellian: he was a selfless patriot. When the Medicis exiled him from Florence, they ordered him to a hamlet in the middle of nowhere in Tuscany. They were basically saying “go rot.” Everybody expected him to run off. Elites across Europe would have hired him in a heartbeat as a historian or diplomat. And in The Prince, Machiavelli thought he’d figured out the secret sauce for keeping hold of power. He didn’t publish it, so it was essentially proprietary IP, hugely valuable to any ruler looking to hire him. But instead he sent The Prince straight to the Medicis - the regime that had just tortured and exiled him - and waited. He didn’t want to serve anybody except his home country. The Prince is full of advice to be ruthless and calculating, but he wasn't recommending it to just anyone. He wanted the rulers of Florence to do whatever it took to protect the city. That was his fundamental loyalty.

Andrew Bridgen told me that in January 2022 someone offered him anything he wanted in the world to shut up about the vaccines, and they put it in a text message because they had apparently never had anyone turn it down before. He assumed they had made that offer to a lot of elected representatives and it had always worked. He said no. By November of that year he was having conversations with colleagues he had worked alongside for twelve years, and one of them told him privately that he thought Andrew was right. This was a man who had taken two Pfizers, gone to the gym, had chest pains, taken himself to the hospital, and been told he had already had two heart attacks. Andrew asked him to stand with him anyway, to protect the children, and the man said no. Andrew still doesn't fully know why. Some leverage they had on him, he assumed, something the man wasn't going to share. He told me he didn't go into politics to allow children to be murdered or injured when he could do something about it, and that was his answer when they came to him with everything he could want. They couldn't believe anyone would refuse. Can't believe the hubris? Believe it... Andrew Bridgen

Andrew Bridgen told me that in January 2022 someone offered him anything he wanted in the world to shut up about the vaccines, and they put it in a text message because they had apparently never had anyone turn it down before. He assumed they had made that offer to a lot of elected representatives and it had always worked. He said no. By November of that year he was having conversations with colleagues he had worked alongside for twelve years, and one of them told him privately that he thought Andrew was right.

The goal of these propagandists seems to be to rehabilitate villains and villainize heroes. To do so, they have to lie about history. Bonhoeffer never “decided” to kill Hitler, nor was he directly involved in any plots to do so. He was involved with an organization that smuggled Jews out of Germany and provided intel to the Allies, and those were the activities he directly participated in. He knew about the plot to assassinate Hitler and supported it, but he was not an active participant, nor was it his idea. He started a new denomination called the Confessing Church, because traditional Lutheranism had been captured by the Nazis and had become virulently antisemitic. Bonhoeffer was a patriot — so much so that after fleeing to America for his life, he changed his mind and decided to go back to Germany and minister to the German people and continue resisting Nazism in the hopes that Germany would be saved. The assassination attempt happened after he returned, which launched an investigation into the organization that planned it, and Bonhoeffer was found to be connected to it. He was arrested and was the last man Hitler executed before the end of the war. He continued writing devotional and theological essays while in prison, preaching the gospel and preparing to meet His Savior. He was a godly man, a hero of the faith and a martyr. Of course Tucker hates him. Of course.
