Yesterday, a Federal Judge dismissed a lawsuit Emagine theater (part of the chain) in Royal Oak Michigan filed against Whitmer’s orders that movie theaters have to stay closed.
The theater had wanted to open for a day to celebrate Juneteeth and show the requisite films. When they began advertising in defiance of Whitmer’s orders, she sent her legal dragon, the AG on them, who sent a letter threatening legal action . The theater dropped they idea and filed a suit instead.
This judge had previously ordered an injunction against the state gov. on behalf of a gym owner, allowing him to open. Then the sixth Circuit overturned his order, demanding the gym owner stay closed.
So with that experience under his belt, he dismissed this lawsuit and stated the following.
“The Supreme Court(Michigan?) and Sixth Circuit court have made it clear that the Individual rights in the Constitution are not absolute. They can be malleable during an emergency, therefore I am dismissing this suit as the State is not violating the 1st amendment as was alleged by the plaintiffs.”
Make sure you read again that the courts have determined that the Constitution can be suspended when a gov official says they can.

Fox5DC: Neighbor calls police on mom, daughter playing Pokemon Go
Amy Kellems decided that while everyone was self quarantined in their homes amid the COVID-19 lockdowns, it was the perfect opportunity for her and her daughter to play Pokemon Go in her empty neighborhood in Minnesota.
That was until the two were pulled over in their driveway after their neighbors reported a suspicious vehicle on their street. …
Oopsie, said neighbor Gladys. That cake says it all. SORRY WE CALLED THE COPS ON YOU. Article says, the Mom “posted about the humorous incident on her Facebook page.” Humorous. Right. SHE CALLED THE COPS! Not funny.
Hope the daughter learned something.
Austin Williams, the author of this article, felt the need to remind us that
Pokemon Go has been at the center of controversy after many of its users have been the victims of crime while playing the game.
OH, please! And, some South Korean kid died playing games non-stop in a cybercafe. No relation.
Yeltsin’s Aha! Moment
When Boris Yeltsin went grocery shopping in Clear Lake

The fact that stores like these were on nearly every street corner in America amazed him. They even offered him free cheese samples.
“When I saw those shelves crammed with hundreds, thousands of cans, cartons and goods of every possible sort, for the first time I felt quite frankly sick with despair for the Soviet people,” Yeltsin wrote. “That such a potentially super-rich country as ours has been brought to a state of such poverty! It is terrible to think of it.”
The Real Slavery Mindset

But I repeat myself, for about the fourth time in as many years. This is for all of those — black, white, and other — who think white “supremacy” is a thing.
“Black people—not just those who are American—view white people in the same manner that anti-theists view God.”
Anti-theists are different from atheists. Even though anti-theists deny God’s existence with their mouths and keyboards, they believe in Him…and they hate Him.”
“Many black people have a similar view of white people: they view all of you as their hated masters — yes, still, in [2019] — but their masters, nonetheless. Moreover, as our masters, it is your duty to feed, clothe, and house us; and to give us anything else we ask of you.”
“As history shows, before the Civil Rights Era, most black Americans were Republicans; now, because of well-crafted strategy implemented by LBJ, et al., most are Democrats.”
“That strategy is based on the real slavery mindset: that whoever provides the most things — whoever is the most generous patron to black people — is a friend to black people.”
“LBJ knew this; therefore, he strove to transform his party’s image into that of the good and generous patron.”
“[Definition of] Patron: 5 : a master in ancient times who freed his slave but retained some rights over him.”
“Even though the Emancipation Proclamation of 1863 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 respectively disallowed patronage and de jure serfdom, the mindset remains embedded in the progeny of the former slaves/serfs.”
“Thus, since the CRA, most black Americans have given their allegiance to the Democrat Party and, because of the mindset, they have certain expectations of white Americans — those expected of a patron.”
“From that notion comes this one: many black liberals believe that black conservatives give their allegiance to the Republican Party for the exact same reason, and that they are, therefore, sell-outs.”
“Note that, to black liberals, even politics always involves some imagined sale of black persons.”
“They are unable to view white persons outside of the master/patron/domination paradigm and cannot envision any relationship between black persons and white persons outside of that perspective.”
“Somebody has to be on top. And, in light of our past and our indoctrinated and unacknowledged feelings of inferiority, most black liberals believe it will be you, my white friends.”
“Most black conservatives have freed themselves from this mindset, but, like all long-term indoctrination, it remains insidious.”
“Therefore, I conclude this: until the majority of black people get white people out of their heads and begin view you as EQUALS, the shouts of racism will continue, as will the shout-down of the truly emancipated.”
“Freedom begins inside.”
