US citizens are blessed with a real hero, a Tulsi Gabbard. The vids below are well worth your time, in my opinion, but as always we must all follow our own paths and think for ourselves. ;-) lb

Is there a US Constitutional Republic without Free Speech? Let’s ask Jennifer Combs.

Abridged speech is not free speech. If you don’t support speech you disagree with, you don’t support free speech. Some speech is not more equal than others.

There’s a reason “free speech” is the 1st Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Many people sacrificed their lives so that US citizens and others across the world could speak freely, without fear of retribution. Fight for it, just like they did.

Because when it’s gone, so aren’t these United States.

First Amendment of the US Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Texas Woman Arrested After Facebook Post Over Unsafe Brown Drinking Water: Report

A woman in Trinidad, Texas, was arrested after she posted on Facebook raising concerns about the safety of the city’s discolored drinking water, according to Fox 4.

Jennifer Combs posted the message on April 6 to her citizen-watchdog group page, Southern Belle Watch, urging residents who had been sickened by the city’s tap water to come forward.

“We have received reports that some citizens have been hospitalized due to bacteria in the water. This is a serious public health concern that deserves immediate attention,” she wrote. “If your water looks discolored, contains sediment, has a strong odor, or you have experienced related health issues, please send us a message. We are gathering information and reporting findings to the state.”

In what could be seen as a brazen move against free speech, Jennifer Combs was arrested on May 8.

Trinidad Police Chief Charles Gregory scrambled to defend the arrest, claiming the case was “cut and dry” and saying her claims about hospitalizations “are simply false and have only caused unnecessary fear and confusion in our community.”

Trinidad law enforcement claimed Combs had written “false information that creates fear,

So

Is there a US Constitutional Republic without Free Speech?’

NOPE ;-)

If you don’t have free speech throughout your own country, do you have free speech?

The Metropolitan Police has so far not commented on the viral video of a female police officer defending freedom of speech surrounded by a crowd of angry Muslim men in Whitechapel but it has questions to answer.

This is the moment a police officer defends a Christian preacher in Whitechapel and is told: “This is a Muslim area.”

excerpt

The confrontation sees a female Met Police officer being surrounded by males and telling them: “In this country, we have freedom of speech.”

She continued: “I understand that you guys don’t want to hear it, so I would just recommend that you walk away and don’t listen to him. He’s not in your home.”

Questions for the Met include: why is it that this police officer understands English law in a way that the three Met police officers who arrested Christian street preacher, John Sherwood, in Uxbridge in 2021 apparently did not?

So – If you don’t have free speech throughout your own country, do you have free speech?

NOPE

when the spell is broken…

All,
I hope you are well!
I hate to go on about this but considering the state of free speech in the world today, I feel I must. Please ignore if it’s not your cup of tea. ;-) lb

Our Creator – not any government, any political leader or any petty bureaucrat, grants us our rights.

The US Bill of Rights which includes our 1st Amendment are restrictions on the US government, not granted rights from. As far as I’m concerned, they are restrictions on all governments. No other “rules” override our rights.

Abridged speech is not free speech. If you don’t support speech you disagree with, you don’t support free speech. Some speech is not more equal than others.
