Our National Anthem is NOT offensive, but some think it is.

So, to cater to the minority who think it's offensive, the majority have to be silenced?!?!?!

That doesn't make any sense at all.

The Capitol is The People's House, our National Anthem is our country's song, thus singing our country's Anthem in the Halls of the Capitol should NOT be stopped. 

A choir of kids singing is not a demonstration. And for those who feel offended, our Constitution does not provide them with the right Not to be offended, but it does provide us with the right of free speech. And singing in the Capitol is one form of free speech!

What they did was unconstitutional.

FWIW

They were invited to sing. Sending them away was thoughtless and cruel.

Thoughtless, cruel and unconstitutional. 

They were invited to sing, but the DC police said singing is a demonstration. But they were not protesting against anything nor lobbying for anything, just singing our National Anthem in the Capitol they were invited to sing at. 

Heads need to roll over this. It's just more blatant abuse of our government against we the people!!!

Isn't this inappropriate use of federal funds?

New Hampshire School District Using $4,000 in COVID Relief Funds to Pay For High School Drag Show

A New Hampshire school district is using COVID Relief funds to pay for a drag show at a high school.
 
Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig’s administration has approved $4,000 for Manchester High School West’s June 2 Pride Event, which will come from American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, according to a report from NH Journal.
 
“That includes $500 to pay drag performers to appear at the public school,” the report states. “The funding was approved through the city’s Community Event and Activation Grant, or CEAG, program, according to documents obtained by NHJournal.”
 
Manchester School District Superintendent Jennifer Gillis defended the event by claiming it is optional for students.
 
“As a district, we support and care for all of our students as they learn and grow … Events such as this are consistent with the goals of our community-developed strategic plan, and in line with district policies,” Gillis said.“As with other years, this is an after-school, extra-curricular, opt-in event.”
 
“In prior years, it’s been well-attended, including students, families and members of the West Side community. This year, the group organizing the event applied for and received a Community Event and Activation Grant from American Rescue Plan Act funds through the city of Manchester. Although this is a school event, the district and partner organizations are working to help support the school as needed.”
 
Manchester West art teacher Richella Simard, who applied for the grant, requested a photo booth and film, a PA system, tables, chafing dishes, and an additional $500 for unspecified “Pride decorations and swag,” the paper explained.

The event is estimated to cost over $6,000.
 
Tina Kim Philibotte, chief equity officer for the Manchester School District, claimed that the event is “essential” for the lives of LGBTQ students.
 
“Events like this Pride celebration continue in West High School’s tradition of honoring youth voices in ways that feel meaningful to them,” said Philibotte in a statement. “Joyful spaces where LGBTQ+ youth feel loved, celebrated, and centered is the work of public education.”
 
The Democrat mayor is currently planning a run for governor.

And I wonder how many millions or billions of Covid relief has been squandered elsewhere as well?!?!?!

Most of it seems to have been squandered.

Three Years of COVID Democrat Tyranny That We Should Never Forget

BY KEVIN DOWNEY JR.
3:58 PM ON MAY 21, 2023

The far left has spent the past several years pushing plenty of unconstitutional nonsense, but there are two things we need to discuss forthwith: they gavaged arbitrary, science-free COVID-19 rules and regulations, which I consider tyrannical, down our throats, while simultaneously trying to take our guns, also a historically authoritarian, commie/Nazi/fascist move.
 
And they tried to do these things at the same time. Coincidence? Not a chance, and not a very clever move.
 
I believe the problem between patriotic Americans and the toilet-dwelling skelms on the far left is that We the People embrace liberty and the Bolshies fear it.
 
FACT-O-RAMA! In the 1960s, soap-dodging hippies at Berkeley University fought for freedom of speech. Today, their pink-haired transvestites-from-Transylvania grandkids mob the school when Ann Coulter comes to speak.
 
Intro to tyranny
 
I recall the early days of the pandemic when schools were closed, people couldn’t go to work, and Americans were told to stay in their homes, or as I call it, the most communist era in American history. People were forced to walk down one-way aisles at the grocery store, six feet apart (check the dots on the floor, granny-killer).
 
People grumbled their anger at me as I “threatened their lives” and daredeviled my way against grocery store traffic. And let’s not forget the mask-Nazi stewardesses on airplanes counting the seconds as we dropped our useless Fauci face diapers to sip a diet Coke.
 
BOYCOTT-O-RAMA! I stopped drinking Coke products after they instructed their employees to “be less white.”
 
“This is a dress rehearsal for communism,” I thought to myself.  I was wrong. It was opening night,
 
Once Joe Biden took the helm, our liberties began to disappear faster than Twinkies on a fat farm.
 
OPINION-O-RAMA! I’m no marketing wizard, but maybe the term “fat farm” isn’t the most empathetic name for a weight loss clinic. Ditto the women’s store “Dress Barn.” Now read that again in Jerry Seinfeld’s voice.
 
It sickens me that some Americans obeisantly rolled over and accepted the liberty-sucking COVID ordinances. Even worse, terrified poltroons — whom I will call leftists — were only too happy to give up their freedoms and attack those who possessed the courage to say, “This seems awfully unconstitutional to me.”
 
Refusing to comply meant that you were selfish in the eyes of the weaklings who were happy to give up their liberties in a matter of days.
 
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and look at some of the Marxy malarkey the pigeon-hearted cowards on the left clung to in their desperate attempt to dodge a virus that more than 99% of Americans would survive:
 
“Fifteen days to flatten the curve” became several years of authoritarian control.
Michigan Empress Gretchen Whitmer was one of the harshest COVID Stalinites in the U.S. She allowed hardware stores to remain open but forced stores to close the aisles selling garden supplies, paint, and carpeting. Michiganders were not allowed to isolate in their cabins “up north.” Whitmer then proceeded to thumb her nose at her peasants and break every COVID rule she pleased. She later regretted some of her insane decisions.
 
Funerals were limited to ten people, except for Saintly George Floyd.
 
Outdoor gatherings were limited to three households, except for the eight months of riots in honor of Saintly George Floyd.
 
Social distancing was not based at all on science.
 
President Joe Biden wanted to fire nearly every unvaccinated American for not bending our knees and raising our sleeves for a shot that not only didn’t work but was potentially more likely to hurt us. Many companies agreed and forced their employees to get the shot.
 
NYC refused to allow the unvaccinated to buy a cup of coffee, eat at a restaurant, go to a gym, etc., even though — as mentioned — the shot does not work.

People never recovered. I still am avoiding large gatherings and I have older friends who won’t go anywhere at all outside their homes or doctor offices.
