For Gods sake, @LeaderJohnThune couldn’t pass a voter ID law that 85% of America wanted… WITH A MAJORITY.
Stop with the “minority leader” nonsense.
The dude is a failure and should be moved to the back of the line.
Yeonmi Park says she wanted freedom so badly that she crawled across the Gobi Desert with a knife, ready to take her own life before returning to communist North Korea.
To her, she says, death was the better option.
Captured defectors face torture. Forced labor. Starvation behind bars. Punishment that can extend across three generations of a family. Try to escape a prison camp, and it’s public execution.
All for trying to leave.
Park had already made it into China with her mother. But they still weren’t safe. China sends defectors back. So after her father died, they set out for Mongolia.
YEONMI PARK: “We walked and crawled across the Gobi Desert, evading Chinese police, kidnappers, wild animals.”
When their compass stopped working, they followed the stars.
YEONMI PARK: “It seemed that only the stars were with us.”
“Armed with knives, we were ready to kill ourselves if we were going to be sent back to North Korea.”
Then they were caught.
YEONMI PARK: “We begged Mongolian soldiers who caught us not to send us back to North Korea, we wanted to live as humans.”
In 2009, she finally reached South Korea. And she was free.
Never take your freedom for granted.
You wanna know why the midterms happened?
Because people think they are still in a regular timeline where they can just vote (or not) to show their disapproval.
Did they not see what happened to Charlie Kirk? The attempts on the Presidents life? The hundreds of videos of people celebrating Charlie’s death or wishing Trump was dead?
How about the unhinged rants and acts of violence on college campuses and “protests” against ice? How about the lawfare under Biden and Obama?
Wake up.
