On the evening of Saturday, April 8^th of this year, the night before Easter, 5 of us piled into my well-worn minivan, voted least likely vehicle to be car jacked. My very tall and not slight husband was designated Security for the 4 of us, older women, physically fit and yet unsure of what we were getting ourselves into. We represented many Patriot women who had expressed interest in going but had been told that it might be too dangerous of a mission. Somehow, we had overcome the voices in our heads and were fueled by the passion in our hearts to show up for prisoners who had been unfairly accused and incarcerated. 

As you can see from the esteemed Councilwoman's T-shirt it says "empathy, compassion, inclusion, justice, kindness". Following protest by muslim, christian, and jewish families of faith against the policies of the eight Democrat women who run the Montgomery County Board of education regarding the mandatory trans-gender storytime instructions to students, the media reported in just one week of Montgomery County Councilmember Kristin Mink's comments admonishing "White Women," Zionist Jews and Muslims for being on the same side as "White Supremacists." She has since deleted those and many other "tweets". The comments were roundly condemned by most, but not all, of the Democrat establishment.

Pictured are Montgomery County Democrat Councilwoman Kristin Mink, a transvestite gentleman with the performing name of Bella Naughty who reads books to children about transitioning their genders, and Democrat County Executive Marc Elrich.

Today we celebrate the great Republican holiday of Juneteenth.                                                             

Our party was founded to put an end once and for all to slavery, we were opposed at every turn by the Democrats and ended up in the depths of a horrible civil war, costing more American lives than any other conflict, but we prevailed.

When President Lincoln put forth the emancipation proclamation it took the troops to put it into effect, Juneteenth was the last date that the last state got the word out about freedom. It wasn’t even realized right here in the Montgomery County area until about the time.

We’ve made such great strides since the Republican party started us down this road, but the battle isn’t over. There are folks that have expanded their hatred toward every skin color and race, and we have to be vigilant.

But today we thank Lincoln, Douglass and so many Republican founders for setting us on this road. Happy Juneteenth
