While we still have a First Amendment.

“…once the nonviolent protests had achieved that 3.5% threshold of active engagement that success seemed to be guaranteed…”

“No King”

“…also, Fuck ICE”

“No Kings”

“No Kings”

Be there. 12:00 noon, at the Johnson County Courthouse, Warrensburg, Missouri, Saturday, October 18th.

“…when a mere 3.5 percent of a nation’s population mobilizes in peaceful protest at a key moment, it becomes nearly impossible for the government to ignore the people’s demands for transformative change. In the United States, that percentage equals approximately 12 million people…”

Rally Against Truth Decay – Johnson County Courthouse – Warrensburg, Missouri – September 13, 2025

There was a peaceful “Rally Against Truth Decay” at 12:30 p.m. today on the Johnson County Courthouse lawn in downtown Warrensburg, Missouri. The temperature was in the 90s. There were about 75 individuals in attendance who listened to speakers, held protest signs (against the excesses of the Trump [r] Administration), and signed initiative petitions.

It’s been one hell of a week in America.

“Hey MAGA, isn’t Karma a Bitch?”

Karma is indeed a bitch.

“Loving and Caring”

“Stop the Billionaire Coup”

At half staff on the courthouse lawn:

Charlie Kirk (r):

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?

Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more.

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately.

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.

The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.

The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America.

We’ve been warning about the rise of Islam on the show, to great amount of backlash. We don’t care, that’s what we do here. And we said that Islam is not compatible with western civilization.

Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America.

There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists.

“Culture War – a smokescreen for – Class War”

“When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty”

“Johnson County Democrats”

“Kindness is like glitter. It spreads.”

“MO-GOP hates voters”

“Republican power grab…”

“Melt ICE, Deport Trump”

“Killers…”

He turned the corner and kept shouting.

So much for civil discourse.

The First Amendment must really chap some people’s asses.

Today at noon close to 2000 individuals gathered at Mill Creek Park, 47th and Main, in Kansas City Missouri to protest the continuing shitshow of Donald Trump (r), his administration, and his sycophants and enablers.

Representative Emanuel Cleaver (D), who represents Kansas City as part of the 5th Congressional District, stopped by the demonstration to visit with and encourage his constituents.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D).

Representative Cleaver also spoke with media covering the demonstration.

….Question: ‘We’ve heard a lot of fear coming from voters, a lot of concern, that their vote is being disenfranchised because of this. Do you share in that fear? You know, what’s your message?’ [crosstalk]

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D): ‘Oh, absolutely. Uh, absolute. Just think about all of the business organizations, from the Chamber on up, or around, are denouncing this. And the reason is they believe that they will be disenfranchised because, uh, they don’t have a chance to elect, uh, someone whose views reflect theirs in terms of, of the economics of this community. So, the Chamber, the City Council have all come out strongly, saying this is wrong and it’s not helpful….’

….Question: Representative, are you confident you can hold on to a seat if this map is redrawn, or, what are you thinking?’

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D): ‘Well, I don’t know. Uh, but, what I do know is that, uh, they messed with the wrong person. If they thought I was going to lay down, uh, and just let it go….’

Question: ‘What do you think is the real reason they’re doing this?’

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D): ‘It’s pure, uh, politics because there is no rationale. You know, they can’t say, well, we wanted the Kansas City School District to be in one congressional district, or, I mean there’s nothing logical about it except what the president said. He needed, uh, some more seats because of his fear of losing the House in the, in next year’s election….’

….Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D): ….We were in, uh, Austria, uh, and I was in the hotel lobby and a woman walked up to me, she looked around to see if anyone was, uh, listening and she said, are you guys going to be all right? And I think that’s where the world is right now. They’re concerned about what’s happening in the United States.

Question: ‘Are we going to be all right?’

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D): Uh, I, I think the lights are flashing red right now. Uh, and it all depends on how we react, how we respond to this crisis….’

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump

GREAT Governor Mike Kehoe, of the Wonderful State of Missouri, which I love and won SIX times, including with
1.8 Million Votes in 2024 (by far the most Votes in History!), just called a very Special Session to begin passage of a new, much fairer, and much improved, Congressional Map, that will give the incredible people of Missouri the tremendous opportunity to elect an additional MAGA Republican in the
2026 Midterm Elections — A HUGE VICTORY for our America First Agenda, not just in the “Show-Me State,” but across our Nation. [….]

Today at noon close to 2000 individuals gathered at Mill Creek Park, 47th and Main, in Kansas City Missouri to protest the continuing
shitshow of Donald Trump (r), his administration, and his sycophants and enablers.

“Fuck Trump and Fuck You for Voting for Him”

“No Human is Illegal”

“Mike Kehoe is Trump’s Bitch”

“No Kings”

The constant car horns…

.

“Stop Kehoe and Schmitt’s Gerrymandering”

“Abolish ICE, America’s Gestapo”

Media.

“Chinga La Migra”

“Gerrymander This”

“Science Saves Lives, Ignorance Kills”

“Defy Fascism”

“Fuck Ice”

“Do Not Obey in Advance”

“Tax the Rich”

Ironically, on the Country Club Plaza.

Today, starting at 11:00 a.m., a group of eight demonstrators opposed to the administration and policies of Donald Trump (r) set up in the right-of-way near the intersection of U.S. Highway 65 and U.S. Highway 50 in Sedalia, Missouri. There is a lot of passing traffic at this intersection.

“Are we great yet?”

“No Kings”

There were a few passing Trump (r) loyalists. They were upset by the demonstration. Most of them used language you’d expect.

“…[@#$%&!^] liberals…”

“Only You Can Prevent Fascist Liars”

Those showing support far outnumbered those expressing disapproval.

A honk on the car horn, a thumbs up.

“Nope”

Andrew Bailey (r): “Quick, look over there!”

[….]

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey (r) has been a busy little anti-choice bee.

Attorney General Andrew Bailey
[July 25, 2025]
I will not allow a death factory to lie to Missourians in pursuit of cutting costs and boosting revenue.
[The Washington Times – “Missouri AG sues Planned Parenthood for ‘disinformation’ about risks of abortion pil”]

Some of the responses:

—–

Your body, your choice. Wait! You can’t have children? Sorry, but you should have NO say in what women do with their bodies! Missourians agree. We voted for Amendment3. We believe in a woman’s right to determine her future and her family.

so youre good to murder babies?

You think a blastocyst is a baby? Do you do much babysitting for embryos? I know, to you an egg is a pre-born chicken and an acorn is a pre-born tree. You like to count your chickens before they hatch. If you believe this, then don’t get an abortion! It’s that simple. Otherwise, mind your own business!

—–

STFU Mo. is Pro Life Moron !

wrong MAGA Missouri is pro-birth. Once the kid is born, you could give a fuck about it. Missouri ranks 30th in infant mortality, 24th in education.

—–

Any gun distribution locations receiving the same treatment

You don’t have the evidence.

Mifepristone is a medication that is used for various applications. Some potential uses include:
Managing early pregnancy loss
Inducing labor
Treating endometriosis and fibroids
Managing hyperglycemia associated with Cushing’s syndrome
As an emergency contraceptive

interesting, Missourians voted for amendment 3, but that seems to be ignored. Support what voters voted for. Now

—–

You need a CT scan.

You need an appointment with God… Did you know that Ozzy accepted Jesus as his Savior before he died? Turn to God not the Demon-rat party.

Fuck off.

Jesus wouldn’t talk to people like that. He didn’t call names because someone was more moral than he.

—–

That’s rich, coming from Andrew “Disinformation Bailey”!

Are you a medical doctor and a lawyer? If so, Brad Bradshaw would like to speak with you.

Is that why Mo has the death penalty?

Safer than Viagra, but you won’t talk about that.

So you’re resigning? FINALLY

You are a money wasting factory!

He’s upholding the legacies of Josh Hawley (r) and Eric Schmitt (r).

Your willful ignorance is astounding

You’re a turd factory.

Sir, Planned Parenthood literally provides life-saving treatment. To call it a death factory is a disservice to the women you represent.

A. Bailey is the one maliciously spreading lies that are threatening the lives of women and girls. Those being threatened are our sisters, aunts, daughters, granddaughters, nieces, neighbors, friends… anyone having a miscarriage.

How about the illegal gerrymandering?

You are the opposite of prolife

Planned Parenthood is women’s healthcare. MO GOP policies kills women.

Give it up douchebag

Bailey is a lying sack of vomit. He thinks A.G. stands for “Almost Governor”.

Heh.

You are wasting our tax dollars. You should be investigated.

You’re a fucking moron.

The people of Missouri voted. Take your fascists bullshit elsewhere

What percent of Mifepristone users in Missouri died as a result of that use? What is our statewide Maternal Mortality rating? If you do not have these statistics statewide or even country wide, you have no case except hate and prejudice. Any woman currently who wishes to use abortion pills has a good case to sue you for denying them that right under Amendment 3. Which of those two scenarios frightens you most?

I will not allow an organization to set women free from the tyranny of males who would keep them barefoot and pregnant.
Fixed it.
MAGA hates your kids and shields pedophiles.

The death factory is the GOP. Healthcare cuts. USAID cuts. All resulting in the deaths of tens of thousands so far thanks to this administration.

Just made a big donation to Planned Parenthood in your name. You’re exactly like the Taliban and a danger to all Women.

Meanwhile, Bailey lies to Missourians and attacks women’s rights. You are a disgrace.

The disinformation is originating from your office.

Please keep wasting our tax dollars fighting a medication with less adverse effects than birth control or viagra. If this was a true consumer protection issue you’d be suing the manufacturer.

“Abortion is health care”
