BREAKING: The Democrat mayor and vice mayor of Sacramento, CA, were caught on a hot mic during a city meeting discussing how to BAN people for "disruptive" speech.
Vice Mayor Karina Talamantes: "We should go over this disruptions thing, because if we want to ban somebody in the future, like to actually take them out, we have to point out specifically"
Mayor Kevin McCarty: "I know, but the City Attorney said we can't do that"
Talamantes: "We did it last time..."
These Democrats want to take away your Free Speech!
🫥A Midland, Texas citizen went to City Hall requesting paperwork.
He sat inside the public building for an extended period speaking with Strategic Communications Director Stewart Doreen. The footage appears to show that he never raised his voice, never became violent, and was not told what crime he had committed.
Then a Midland Police Department officer arrived.
She issued commands, placed her hands on him, and ultimately pepper-sprayed him inside City Hall.
He was taken outside in handcuffs, transported to the hospital, and reportedly handcuffed to a hospital bed. He has a heart condition and had expressed concern about being forced outside into the extreme heat.
After officials reviewed the footage and saw that he had not been acting belligerently, he was released with no charges.
No identified crime. No charges. Yet a citizen requesting paperwork from his government ended up pepper-sprayed, handcuffed, and hospitalized.
What lawful justification was there for this use of force?
54% of US adults (age 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level.
Why is nobody talking about this?
To fight back, we started an online book club to study the great texts of Western Civilization. If the collapse in reading is not addressed now, we risk losing everything.
Every 4-6 weeks, we read a new great work together: we've covered texts like Homer's Iliad, Augustine's Confessions, Dante's Inferno, and Don Quixote.
We're about to start reading The Brothers Karamazov.
We are reading the great works slowly, intentionally, and in dialogue with each other.
