God Bless America

 

Joseph Biden is now our President. May God continue to bless this great country and keep all of us safe. Were we to descend into depression, we would not be Americans. Faith is a belief in things unseen. Let us have faith in the depth and breadth of the decency of our fellow Americans. To believe that these next four years will be the end of the United States sells us short. We have faced worse before. No fight is ever truly lost because no fight is ever truly won.

Smile. Be not afraid. Draw inspiration from our glorious history. Onwards.

    This white woman is fellow American Democratic Rep. Rosa DeLauro. She’s no Halle Berry, but she is hopefully approved by the editors.

    “Smile. Be not afraid.”

    I’ve seen her in person.  She is my Congressperson,  Be very afraid.

    Halle Berry is not my president.

    Is that what we’re talking about?

    I’d certainly vote for her.

    I certainly liked this post with the picture. I see no rationale for its removal. That swim suit is large in comparison to what I see on the local beach every day. Are we now censoring now on Ricochet?

    I included a photo of Ms . Berry because she is a fine American. I see lots of photos on lots of posts. She is the first black woman I have ever posted. She is the only person’s photo I have ever seen scrubbed from the site. I will leave it to the editors to explain, should they chose to do so, what it is about Ms. Berry that is so unacceptable. I would love to know the guidelines regarding people of color. I’m not being difficult. I wish to fall in line. Just tell me what type of persons are not to be seen and I will snap to. Would it help if I posted her photographic negative?

    I would also like to know what the issue is. How is that image offensive or inappropriate? There are posts and comments on this site that are infinitely more insane than that photo (and every other post is a conspiracy theory), yet those are not removed.

    That’s funny. I thought Rosa DeLauro’s photo is a conspiracy theory. It can’t be real.

    Who would be a part of the conspiracy? Let’s flesh this out.

    Firstly, that this is a real woman, who really exists.  This is certainly CGI.  I see George Lucas’ prints all over it, c. 1977.

    I have no idea why Halle Berry was removed. But I could not vote for her simply because she was named after a department store.

    A former member used to like to see pictures of cheerleaders. Some of those cheerleaders in pictures that were either posted by him or for him looked barely legal, and they were not removed. I don’t see how the Halle Berry photo was worse than any of those.

    It wasn’t bad at all.  It was a photo.  Period.  Nothing untoward in the least.  I do think the editors owe us an explanation.  Let’s see how Rosa fares.

    I think the joke is that Ricochet has turned so far to the Left now that it can’t find its woke bearings and is censoring thoughtlessly out of a knee-jerk reaction.

    I doubt that. Comments or posts about how the election was stolen are still allowed. If Ricochet had swung to the left, wouldn’t those be the first to go?
