    Tennessee Insurrection

    Remember, Nashville is a bastion of liberalism in the middle of a red state. Notice that in spite of the outstanding police response to the Covenant School shooting they still haven't released the transgender shooter's manifesto. That core incident has been totally eclipsed by the antics of...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    It should come as no surprise that Jones' images and stories aren't found on Bing and Google, considering the liberal bias in these search engines. And of course they were not covered in past or present years by the mainstream media, MSNBC, CNN, etc, because (a)BLM riots were commonplace in...

    More about Justin Jones, his background, and his standards: Job history: Community Organizer, Policy Specialist for Environmental Nonprofit, and Minister "I have relationships on Capitol Hill which is why my campaign has been endorsed by State Rep. Gloria Johnson..." "John Lewis has been a...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Actually, there was news that helped us get to know Justin Jones a little better. It seems he was an active participant in the BLM riots of 2020, and was caught on video standing on police cars, assaulting drivers, etc, and managed to rack up over a dozen charges and two indictments. Apparently...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Quite a few books have been written about this complicated subject, so I'm not going to put up a novella-length post that nobody would read. It could be said that this trend actually started in the mid-sixties with LBJ's Great Society program. But I personally believe that the more recent...

    Death by DeSantis

    The new abortion bill allows several exceptions for rape, incest, human trafficking, fetal abnormalities and the life of the mother, so it's not so bad as some reports are describing it. However, it does seem odd that DeSantis would agree to the basic 6-week limit, when the existing 15-weeks...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    TN is a microcosm of the entire country: the political, cultural, and racial divides have gotten worse over the past 10 years, and it's been happening by design. There was a rare instance of bipartisanship a week ago when the TN House passed an excellent school safety bill (HB 322) 95-4. The...

    Death by DeSantis

    It's hard imagine the Biden White House and DOJ not being directly involved with all of the Trump prosecutions.

    The Trump Card...

    This should be at the top of their list of legislation that needs to pass while they have the opportunity and the numbers to make it happen. Otherwise, the House leadership won't be able to enforce any rules since this incident has made it clear there's no teeth in the existing rules. Whether...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    A gross violation of House rules committed by three House members. How's that? Race is not a factor if justice is blind. They broke the rules and got the consequences they deserved. The fact that no Democrats voted against them because of their race and political party is a brazen display of...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    She has a legislative history of doing just that. Her old district and the new one she currently represents is mostly a blue collar area with a high percentage of black population. She is also well known in the area as a far left liberal and has been involved in Knox County politics for over ten...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    These kinds of "red flag laws" have been kicked around for several years, but have never been seriously considered in TN. Most reasonable gun enthusiasts would agree that background checks need to be more strictly enforced and taking firearms away from mentally unstable people is a good idea...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    This stunt was probably created by and coordinated with the leadership in the TN Democrat party. The two that were expelled knew dam well that if they were expelled their districts would vote to put them right back into their seats in a special election. That's why Johnson was more passive and...

    The Defining Issue of 2024

    If the House can't make expulsions stick they need to change the legislation that controls rules violations and the enforcement of the consequent penalties. They should do it now while they have super majorities in both houses. The idea that their rules enforcement can be overruled or nullified...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    It's already lasted longer than I thought it would, thanks to the mainstream media and the national Democrat party including the White House. They'll continue to use this as a wedge issue as long as possible, claiming it's an example of racism by Southern White Republicans. However, it won't...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Of course the protest wasn't covered; it would've showed what actually happened on the floor of the House and possibly included some video of the near-riot going on outside. The reason it didn't get worse was due to the police and state troopers who kept them out of the building. The expulsion...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    So they remembered them today, when it's politically convenient. Big deal. It doesn't negate the fact that they voted against the school safety act because it didn't contain gun control measures - which is their primary concern. They also ignored the Covenant School victims when the VP was...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    More on how out of step these three clowns were with the rest of the House. They made up three of only four votes against the bill that passed in a bipartisan landslide to provide school resource officers and more safety measures for TN schools...

    Tennessee Insurrection

    Due to Rep Barrett changing his vote at the last minute, the two TN House renegades have been able to turn their expulsion into racial injustice and "an act of white supremacy". The following clip offers more insight into what these guys are really like. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6324163660112

    Tennessee Insurrection

    We've seen video (which seems curiously hard to find online) of the protesters outside the Capitol Bldg that shows a lot of physical confrontation going on between state troopers and protesters. This was not a "peaceful" protest. I haven't heard of any serious injuries, but many who were there...
