Hi

, I’m just checking in to see if y’all are on board with Trump’s “unified reich.” It’s not an accident. It’s not out of context. It’s not a joke. There is no insider knowledge that makes this compatible with God’s will.
Trump posts a new ad foreshadowing a second Trump term that says he will create a “UNIFIED REICH,” echoing Nazi Germany

To sum.
1. Aldean is from Macon Ga, population 106K when he was in high school.
2. The video’s riot scenes are from Canada, circa 2012.
3. Aldean is singing someone else’s song.
He’s defending values he never lived, backed by video from another country, in a song he didn’t write.
In the past 24 hours I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide BLM protests. These references are not only meritless, but dangerous.

Tennessee parents have the freedom to choose where they want their kids educated, whether it’s public, private, or home school! We have that freedom.

But I found myself increasingly called a liberal. Esp when I collaborated w/ Dan Darling on an op-ed protesting Trump’s family separation policy. I saw it as my responsibility to protect children from becoming adoptees. Pro-Life, as it were. 12/

This is the legacy of the

. Pay attention, America. 40+ years I believed they were Pro-Life. It was all lies.
Covenant mothers wept in anger Tuesday when Tennessee’s special session on public safety came to an end. The parents told the media they’re “sick” of nothing being done about their children being afraid to go to school.

Y’all had *50 years* to make “Adopt don’t Abort” happen & here we are w/ 122,000 foster youth. You didn’t adopt them, you created roadblocks to their adoption by LGBTQ+ & non-Xian parents, & you *still* have the audacity to demand your policy be taken seriously.

Who would dare tell the doctors desperately patching children’s bullet torn bodies back together, stanching the torrent of blood, mopping up brain splatter, to “stay in their lane” when it comes to calling out gun violence?
The NRA is a terrorist organization.
Someone should tell self-important anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane. Half of the articles in Annals of Internal Medicine are pushing for gun control. Most upsetting, however, the medical community seems to have consulted NO ONE but themselves.

After Trump said “We’ll build a wall & they’ll pay for it,” kids in older son’s church small group said it to him. They flashed the white power symbol in photos w/ him. Church fam said that’s not what it meant. Older son said “America doesn’t want me but I still want America.”10/

I urge you to reconsider this op-ed. Millions of disabled & high-risk ppl are not safe attending in-person church. The message from your huge platform is the church doesn’t care whether we can attend or whether we live or die.

Hey
@GovBillLee
, how come it’s always “Government is not the answer” when it comes to hard-working Tennessee taxpayers asking for safe schools or enough hospitals,
But it’s *always* “Government IS the answer” when it comes to corporations wanting handouts? 🤔
Let’s recap: 80 “anonymous” corporations asked Gov. Bill Lee for a tax refund.
Lee counter offered with a $1.2 billion refund and $4.1 billion of corporate tax breaks over the next decade.
AND it’s all a secret.

When I wanted to put our older son in private school after our public school harmed him, I couldn’t. The Association of Christian Schools International convinced Congress in 1989 that Christian Schools shouldn’t be expected to include disabled kids, so they’re exempt from ADA. 8/

My Tennessee neighbors, you already have school choice. TN courts have protected your freedom to educate your kids in public, private, or homeschool. What parents are not entitled to is public taxpayer funds to use for exclusive high-dollar private schools.
2024 is the year to make school choice a reality for every TN family.

It’s all about parent choice until parents can’t choose to opt out of gun indoctrination for their 3 year olds.
Tennessee: Bill requiring public schools to teach children firearms safety is going to Gov. Bill Lee’s desk.
Starting in pre-kindergarten, students will be taught about guns.
Republicans voted down an amendment allowing parents to opt their children out of the instruction.

$144M for 20,000 kids to compete for 4,000 available seats in private schools.
$261M for the remaining 1,061,100 Tennessee children in public schools.
Whose choice again,
@GovBillLee
?
144 million price tag, yet
-Only 4k available seats in private schools statewide
-Vouchers that would likely go to those already in private schools.
-Funding schools that would not serve all students
-Educational “freedom” that already exists
