I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR ONCE!!!

The Charlotte NC high school that painted over a student's tribute to Charlie Kirk, called the police on her, and then publicly branded the 16-year-old girl a VANDAL in front of her entire school...

...has just been forced to pay her $95,000!!!!!!

Her name is Gabby Stout, she was a junior at Ardrey Kell High School.

Days after Charlie Kirk was assass*nated, she got PERMISSION from the front office to paint the school's spirit rock, a tradition kids have used for years.

She painted a heart. An American flag. "Freedom 1776." And "Live Like Kirk ... John 11:25."

Within HOURS, the school painted over it.

Then the principal emailed the ENTIRE school calling it VANDALISM, claiming she broke the code of conduct, and announcing they had called LAW ENFORCEMENT to open a criminal investigation.

They pulled this teenage girl out of class again and again and then MADE HER WRITE A CONFESSION!!!!

They demanded her PHONE so they could search her call logs.

For painting a rock. With permission.

So her family sued. And they WON.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools now has to pay $95,000, publicly clear her name, and admit in writing she did NOTHING wrong.

But not only that... they were forced to adopt a brand new student free speech policy because of her.

THIS is how you fight back.

GOD BLESS GABBY STOUT!!!!!!

“Shall not be infringed” is not a suggestion.

@RoKhanna @elonmusk @EleanorClift @MarkHalperin Wait…didn’t you guys fix all this with Obamacare? That’s what you told everyone.

Let me guess…the only solution is to give you more power over our healthcare?

[Gun Owners of America @GunOwners]

GOA won our lawsuit against the ATF's tyrannical Engaged in the Business rule.

It has officially been completely VACATED!

This means that gun owners who buy and sell firearms will be better protected against the kind of ATF raids that murdered Brian Malinowski of Arkansas.

[Black Guns Matter @blkgunsmattr]

Virginia lawmakers passed a so-called “assault firearms” and large-capacity magazine ban set to take effect July 1...

But they can't even bother to agree on what it actually covers.

State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim says the law mainly affects future gun sales and gun dealers.

The House sponsor Delegate Dan Helmer, says simply transporting a banned firearm could be a misdemeanor with fines or jail time.

But here’s the reality:

If they just simply followed the 2A, SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED…

There would be NO confusion at all.

Scott Jennings flames Robert DeNiro saying he can't "love a country led by 'tyrant' Trump"

“When I hear De Niro, I hear him saying, I can only love America if we win every election from here on out... That’s a rather fascist statement.”

[Del. Wren M. Williams @WrenWilliamsVA]

Imagine going 116 mph and being pulled over by a Va State Trooper while you’re a member of the House of Delegates at 1am after a party, avoiding mandatory jail time, then turning in 500 hours of “community service” for your own political action committee before tweeting “nobody is above accountability.”

[Kostas Moros @MorosKostas]

Wait did he actually say this? If so then it wouldn't be an AWB lol.

I don't think Everytown will agree!

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Jillian Michaels: “What I find so funny is that Obama — who shamed all of the black men for not voting for Harris — then went to fricking Virginia and campaigned against the black woman who’s a Marine… for a white liberal who worked for the CIA.”

[Jason Miyares @JasonMiyaresVA]

Leftists get power and eliminate one of the most successful anti-crime initiatives in the history of the Attorney General’s Office.

Operation Ceasefire helped cut Virginia’s murder rate by 30% and drove a 66% reduction in violent crime in Ceasefire cities. Shameful.

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm. I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9pm.

[Nick Freitas @NickJFreitas]

Here is context for people who actually care about that sort of thing…

It was not Elon Musk personally taking a loan. It was Tesla Motors, the company, that received a $465 million loan from the U.S. Department of Energy in early 2010.

The loan came from the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing program, created by Congress in 2007 under President George W. Bush. The goal was to support American companies building more fuel-efficient vehicles and create jobs.

Tesla was not the only recipient. The same program gave much larger loans to other companies, including Ford for $5.9 billion and Nissan for about $1.4 to $1.6 billion. Fisker Automotive also received $529 million but later went bankrupt.

In May 2013, Tesla repaid the full $465 million plus interest and prepayment penalties — nine years ahead of schedule.

They used money from a successful stock offering. Taxpayers actually made a profit of roughly $12 to $26 million on the loan.
Elon Musk publicly thanked the Department of Energy and American taxpayers at the time.

Tesla used a program Democrats supported...they just used it far more successfully than other companies

BTW, I don't support these kinds of government programs, but for the leftists that only hate them when it suits their political objectives… you're all shameless hypocrites that are only pissed. Because Elin doesn't carry water for the left the way Soros and Steyr do.

[Andy Ngo @MrAndyNgo]

@Paddystinian I see anti-democratic, communist thugs using the claim of “anti-fascism” in furtherance of authoritarian leftist violence.

[Larry Correia @monsterhunter45]

“But what will the rest of the world think of us?” is a bullshit argument.
A. America don’t care.
B. “Rest of the world” is almost always code for global leftists anyway, and the regular people of other countries can’t stand their bossy shit libs either.
Living our lives based on the theoretical approval of an imaginary global monoculture is stupid. Nobody buys this anymore. Just be American and be awesome.

[Three Year Letterman @3YearLetterman]

Absolutely shocked that the woman who thought the decision to play football in 2020 was worse than Jerry Sandusky is now expressing bewilderment that the South doesn’t stone visitors to death

[Skylar Skye @SkylarSkye3]

I’ve just learnt that you can drive for 12 hours in Texas and still be in Texas 🇺🇸

Meanwhile in England you can drive the length of the whole island in 6 hours 😭

[Juanita Broaddrick @atensnut]

He does it again. Scott Jennings gets the last word on CNN. 😂👌🏻

JENNINGS: If Elon Musk had never gotten involved in politics, never supported Trump … he’d be getting a ticker tape parade right now.

HINOJOSA: Do you agree that one person should have control in f American policy?

JENNINGS: Call me when you’re mad about Alex Soros.

[Mike Solana @micsolana]

listen up, we have to vote for the man with the nazi tattoo so he can stop the man landing rockets and curing the blind from making any more money, otherwise we’ll get fascism

you see how stupid you sound, yes?
