JD, remember the article you did on the Amish Farmer? I found a 5th Amendment one. Government seems to forget we still have a CONSTITUTION. How many others is it happening to?

A Texas farmer’s fight for justice could have major implications for property rights 5th Amendment.

In the early 2000s, the state renovated Interstate 10, elevating and broadening the highway and erecting concrete barriers. The construction trapped the DeVillier property, turning his farm into a lake whenever the region experienced heavy rains, as it did in 2017 during Hurricane Harvey.

The court didn’t rule against DeVillier. It simply said that Congress never passed a law allowing Americans to sue states for taking their property, so the Fifth Amendment’s property protections do not apply to DeVillier or anyone else.

I voted for DeSantis for gubernator, but will not vote for him for POTUS in any primary.

As he slips further down the polls, he's trying to make a "splash" to gain emotional appeal to those he lost.

In that regard he's sort of putting a wet finger into the wind.

He lost me when he flip-flopped on Ukraine, and then felched with the GOPe Bushies and their marionet Karl Rove.

Ron, I thought we knew you. Seems we didn't.

i will support truth from any source, but the only source i trust fully is Jesus the Christ. Ron has done some great things in florida and have to give him some space to deal with the zio synagogue of satan money but agree that he crossed the line in bowing down and actually think the big donor to him, tricked him into being irrelevant....shame on him for caving for the dollars and not having bigger balls

the more we learned about ukraine, the more we saw it as an extension of corruption, with US-paid biolabs (connected to democrat political leaders) in conflict with our laws. while russian aggression is terrible, neither should we support a ukranian govt that is corrupt and tyrannical, playing a role on the global acting stage. we are wasting our weapons and wealth on ukraine, shortly after abandoning billions in weapons in afghanistan. is it not clear we are contributing to massive and irresponsible weapons proliferation, weakening our own stockpiles while foreign fighters pour into our borders?? in palestine, we are supporting 2 sides of the war, defending Israel and supporting them months after our politicians gifted Iran with a windfall of money to support the terror. desantis has good premonition. china and world governance are the threat, and our actions as a nation have done more to promote world war and US defeat than our own survival as a nation and a people.,

JD, you are a 1% er when it comes to truth....so go all the way ! every article on hamas should start with explaining that ISRAEL created hamas ! if you don't want to be called out on hiding truth, then speak truth. israel genocide against palestinians has justifiably earned them alot of hate....and knowing that hamas is just another terrorist plot by synagogue of satan would open the eyes of fools who are justifiably angry at israel to not fall into hamas trap created by synagogue of satan israel as well

wishing you God, truth, freedom, and peace in that order for any of them to last and be true.

Thank you. I've written multiple articles and done two shows about Israel's involvement with Hamas and the terrorist attack. This article has very little to do with Hamas. It's about free speech in America.

thanks for reply and agree that i kinda triggered on the first statement...americans who celebrate hamas violence are disgusting....but after reading the full article, noticed that you returned to that topic and it was kind of the subtopic of this post....i care more about TRILLIONS of my tax dollars and the blood of patriots being spent on israel and her wars firstly, and care to correct my fellow americans that your tax dollars created hamas via israel to wake them up to full truth. cognitive dissonance is increased by having worthy causes being fought with faulty examples....george floyd, wars for israel, ...

I believe they have the right to say “Free Palestine” and such. I also believe they can be held responsible for it. For instance, there was a story of a young lady having her job offer rescinded because the law firm did not want to be associated with that view point. She claimed her free speech rights were being infringed. I say she was being held accountable for her speech.

JD, your clarity is a gift to all of us. Thank you.

Having the mental strength to distinguish between hate speech and 'speech I hate' is vital to critical thinking ability.

You explained it very well!

There should be no such designation or category as "hate speech." That was a terrible slip down the slope, with it's predictable consequences hurting all right-leaning citizens, the most.

concur that the actions are already illegal (and immoral), whether arson, embezzlement, or murder. "hate" or religious "fervor" is irrelevant to the action.

Is that not what FJB and friends are doing to Trump? GAG orders, Non non-admissible evidence. One Witch hunt after another. Bribing or coercing anyone connected to him.

Very well articulated JD, thank you.

Thank you!!!!

Hate speech is a very subjective term that can be used to stifle political opponents, adversaries, and anyone who isn't part of the ruling party. Very Orwellian, and not a future I want to live in, regardless of how much I might be disgusted with that "speech".

Expand full comment

yes, the use of ambiguous and "squishy" terms allows for unfair application and must have specific legal definitions. from my perspective, i don't care wether it was hate or religious conviction which led to a crime; the action is a crime regardless. we judge acts; God alone can judge the heart.

Great post JD, it would seem the globalists plan is to push all of our freedoms to the extreme (towards violence) in order to give our government an excuse to take them away. My only wish is that Americans would get as angry about the state of our own country as they do about the state of other countries. They are screaming about the house down the street on fire while the one they live in is burning. It seems they can't see the forest for the trees. Totally surreal.

I agree with your assessment, JD. Unfortunately, we are playing un a game where we can take the high road you describe while the other side attempts to censure your right to say anything.

USA and Israel funded hamas

Nikki Haley is the perfect example why we should repeal the 19th amendment and never allow a woman to sniff the oval office.

What about Sarah Palin?

great points as usual. i might disagree that desantis' actions are not justified. if it is a college university receiving taxpayer money, i would agree that it cannot be used to promote illegal actions (as you also argue), like killing women and children in violation of geneva conventions. if groups on campus advocate that, i'd ban them, too. our public universities have become liabilities vice benefits to our society due to the dual-standards of 1st amendment protections and miseducation by radicalized professors who should be banned from PUBLIC universities. it is time we kick unlawful anti-American groups off American-funded campuses, for the sake of our country and future.

I've made this exact argument recently. I think those chanting and marching for terrorism are vile, but they're within their rights. The pro-Palestinian students who attempted to break down their college library doors to get to 4 Jewish students and hurt or kill them were not and should have been arrested for menacing at the very least. The problem here is we've forgotten our roots and why the First Amendment is so important. When I was growing up, a common refrain among the adults surrounding me was "I disagree with what you say, but I'll fight to the death for your right to say it." That's because we'd been taught our ancestors came here because English monarchs were stifling their freedom of speech and arresting them for practicing their religion peacefully. Kids today are taught our ancestors came here to colonize, enslave and slaughter our way to power in a new land. This disconnect to truth creates shame in the amazing work and bravery the proud men and women who came to America to live free have put in to make sure their descendents had the freedom they were so long denied. If politics is downstream from culture, our first job is to begin our own long march through government institutions and take back our culture of individual liberty and we don't have much time, so let's get to work, Patriots.

One big disagreement is your attack on anti-fascist protests against Israel's genocidal goals based on alleged attacks by Hamas on Israeli's. We have many videos and photos and interviews that document Israel's brutality. But we have not seen one single photo of the so-called brutality of Hamas against Israelis. In fact we do have interviews with Israeli women who testify to Hamas treating them with respect and non-violence, especially their children. We also have documentation that the Oct 7 event was no where's near the numbers (1400 deaths) that have been promoted. In fact that number needs to be halved. Further out of that number, 700, 50% ere IDF many of them women who are military. I am not promoting killing but will not get hysterical about a handful of Israeli deaths in the face of many 1000's of Palestinians brutally bombed and murdered by Israel with it s racist, genocidal goal of ethnic cleansing. This goal has been written and spoken so often in public that there is not argument to be made to water down that criminality.

That is a vacuous argument.

🙄

If Hamas put down its weaponry there would be peace in Gaza.

✔️

If Israel put down its weaponry, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Hamas, etc. would rain rockets and bombs upon Israel.
