You know what's so crazy? I, like many others, were writing articles in 2020 and 2021 saying that something's fishy with this whole Fauci, Wuhan, lab theory.

Making statements like that was the "unpopular opinion" and it got me banned and censored.

Now, it's the hottest new thing to talk about...

I dare not post/hang/exhibit ANY opinions for fear of vandalism. People have gone off the deep end.

Oh definitely. Anyone who said ‘this guy is an arrogant man who talked about the second and third wave with glee’ was called an enemy of the state (such as it is). You’re dead right. Not everyone refused to see the evidence in our faces.

Where is Kevin D today? As he said he before, it was abundantly obvious from the outset that COVID came from that lab and anybody who thought otherwise was either lying or following the propaganda of liars.

Franklin, I read some of your posts here and your opinion pieces. Great stuff. I always smirk when I see the virtue signalers put their little signs in front of their houses. Too bad there are not counter signs that would proclaim belief IN REAL SCIENCE OR THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD. Etc etc.

"In this house we believe in independent investigative journalists who uncover the receipts and bring them to print." If only I had a lawn . . .

My wife won’t let me put up my lawn sign that says, “UNDER PENALTY OF DEATH DO NOT READ THIS SIGN”

there is nothing stopping anyone from making counter signs. but if they are in the yards in front of houses, the same people with the opposite signs will hypocritically tear your counter signs out of the ground in rage (yes, vandalizing personal property - you'll be able to capture it on your ring security camera to post in a rant on nextdoor) because they can't stand anyone going against the sanctioned narrative.

This is true. I had my small police flag stolen out of my yard and returned with pride colors and “f**k the police” painted over it during the Summer of fiery but peaceful protests. My husband posted it on NextDoor, which we’ve since abandoned. An overwhelming majority of people were sending him messages of support. The next day he overheard 3 lesbians who were renting a home two houses down from us - whom we were always kind toward - talking about their “consciences being clear” the day after we had knocked on everyone’s door on the street asking if anyone saw anything. I’ve never put anything flag, sign, etc. out again (except the US flag).

you are lucky that no one has done anything to your us flag. when we were still in pdx (2019?) people who had the us flag proudly displayed outside their house began receiving anonymously yet scary threats in their mailboxes and left on their doorsteps and porches. this was within the inner city urban family/hipster neighborhood we lived in and just because they had the flag displayed...it was terrible. :(

That's consistent with the line on their signs that they BELIEVE IN TOLERANCE. I also love the tolerance bumperstickers (with the religious and peace symbols)on cars owned by many who disparage people of certain religions
