It’s coming to our state: Pro-Hamas supporters blocked all lanes of I-40 in Memphis on Saturday afternoon with one of their lawless protests (any arrests??). Arkansas State Police intervened to clear the roadways on the Arkansas side.
The Memphis I-55 bridge is closed right now for repairs, so the protestors’ goal to “shut down commerce” was achieved, at least for several hours. What’s going to happen if they pull this stunt at drive-time during the work week? Interesting, also, the “bare-bones” way KATV chooses to tell the news:
Protesters at the Arkansas-Tennessee Interstate 40 Bridge had traffic in Arkansas at a halt Saturday afternoon.

Governor Sanders’ Top Hits List is growing. The latest on the Corrections Board prison bed soap opera: Sanders’ very recently appointed Chairman of the Parole Board / member of the Corrections Board — Jamol Jones — resigned late Friday after news broke on Thursday that Jones was fired in 2018 from the Benton Police Department over a “sexual relationship with a 17-year-old.”

More “truth-telling” about our formerly trusted institutions shows how deep the rot has penetrated: The American Psychological Association has now determined that companies basing hiring decisions on competency are being unfair to job applicants… Their “study” showed
merit-based hiring fuels racial inequality as 'members of marginalized racial groups tend to experience socioeconomic disadvantages more often than members of privileged racial groups.'
The APA now recommends that employers should
focus on the disadvantages a prospective candidate has faced instead of another candidate who has achieved more in their field and has a more fitting resume.
Warning: This account of what’s happened to J6 prison Ryan Samsel (just convicted of 7 charges) is more than disturbing, but needs to be told. The way the Biden regime is treating conservatives who don’t agree with his Marxist ideals for America make Biden a war criminal.
On March 21, 2021, after his arrest, Ryan was awakened by correctional officers, and his hands were zip-tied. Then they walked him to an unoccupied cell where he was brutally beaten by the officers. Ryan Samsel lost an eye in the beating. His face was smashed. The next day the guards beat him again.
We don’t treat terrorists in custody at Guantanamo Bay with this cruelty! Biden’s DOJ is rounding up and punishing anyone and everyone who was near Washington D.C. that day. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE and UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Share and VOTE accordingly.
Perhaps some are getting used to the Left tearing down statues and obliterating any reference to the history of our great county, but we should not get complacent. “Simply put, what they do to statues is what they plan to do to their political enemies. It starts with statues and books, and eventually ends with people….” When people show us very clearly who they are, we’d better be listening! Our tactics need to change: As The Federalist points out, “It’s time to stop debating history and facts with people who only care about the exercise of raw political power.” Toppling statues is only a dress rehearsal for toppling you and your family.
