NO KINGS: Should have protested Biden

To you “No Kings” protest people. Where were you for an Inept Kings protest? Biden was obviously disabled with memory and dementia issues and was really not the President. He was a figurehead that was being put out on the stage while others behind the scenes ran the show.

Where were you to protest an Inept King administration that allowed millions of undocumented illegal immigrants into our country with hundreds of thousands of those being dangerous criminals, thieves, fraudsters and drug dealers. Our citizens have been murdered and victimized by these illegals yet the liberals treat them like Kings portraying them as victims. The illegals are shielded and protected by the liberals when per due process and the law we try to remove them from the country. 

I could go on and write about the many other things the administration of the Inept Kings policies that were actually harmful and ridiculous policies for our great nation. However you No Kings people remained silent to all that damage and mayhem that was very wrong and unconstitutional.

Your No Kings people’s protests falls silent on my and many other ears. We wonder where you were to protest an obviously Inept King that actually caused as much harm as you now accuse the current administration of doing. 

You are not standing up for the county and the constitution.  You are using that rhetoric to disguise your true motives of standing up for one side of our political spectrum and for policies and ideas that are actually detrimental to this once great nation.

WOLVES: Noble animals deserve better

Who but a detestable, sadistic coward would get a sickening thrill in running down (and running over) a beautiful wolf with an ugly, lifeless snowmobile that he admires more than one of God’s most beautiful creations — and taping its mouth shut and shamelessly displaying his cruelty inside a Wyoming bar? 

Magnificent wolves live with a courage, majesty, nobility, honor and innocence that this infamous person Cody Roberts will never approach. And these qualities of wolves never die. 

This noble wolf wanted to live and had a right to live, just as you do; and never deserved the atrocious torture you so hideously and unconscionably brought upon it — without an ounce of remorse — with a snowmobile (without which you would never have had the strength to get near this innocent wolf).  

Leonardo da Vinci admonishes us: “Those who do not value all of life are not worthy of it themselves.” 

The stigma of your cowardly, merciless act shames your name forever. And you have become the poster child of our shameless, materialistic, hedonistic society — a society that Pope John Paul II labeled “the culture of death” — that is insatiable in its pursuit of depraved thrills and excitement, alienated from nature and totally devoid of all reverence for life and any moral and ethical accountability for its behavior.  

The recent shooting of three wolves by Idaho Fish & Game, which thinks killing is the only solution to the questionable decline of elk populations (poachers kill many times more elk than wolves) contributes to the shameful devaluation of wolves and the disgraceful attitude towards them — and leads to the further brutalization of America. What a shame!
