August 25. 2022: The End Illegal Mandates: March For Justice. The 1st yr anniversary of the government’s over-reach began outside the DOE (Department of Education) in Brooklyn.
“IT Ain’t Over til it’s OVER!”.
.Other protestors were gathered on the east side of City Hall, see Flicker Slide Show:
.There was some confusion as to the final location (it was the west side of City Hall) but until that was cleared up many protest signs were placed on the east side of City Hall fence.
. This is the usual set up and the NYPD has not made it an issue- UNTIL today.
TODAY, the police demanded the signs be removed. Stating there is a law nothing can be placed on public fences. (video).
.HOWEVER, I noted the placement of vendor pictures on the pedestrian walkway fence that leads to the Brooklyn Bridge. Rules for thee…but not for… ?
And then the marchers arrived. (video)
. After they exited the bridge, the protest march set up on the west side of City Hall. See Flickr slide show:
.”DVS 7.0 ” was the MC/ opening speaker at the March For Justice – 1 yr anniversary protest against the illegal mandates. (video)
Teacher For Choice, Michael Kane, spoke outside NY City Hall. Our Bodies, Our Choice. (video)
The unpaid employees — including hundreds of teachers — have been getting health coverage since skipping the city’s deadline to get vaccinated last Oct. 4.
Another roughly 1,100 unvaccinated DOE employees who rejected the unpaid-leave deal have already been fired, the DOE said.
But if those staffers “provide proof of full vaccination, they will be eligible for rehiring,” with no guarantee of the same position.
Another 82 teachers accused of submitting fake vaccination cards were taken off the city payroll on April 25 after they were caught up on a Suffolk County criminal investigation, but will be put back on the payroll on Sept. 6 pending the probe.
The Church refused entry to worshipers who were not vaxed. (The CDC has DECREED an END to NO vaxed and unvaxed segregation) but LET US PRAY fell on deaf ears at Trinity Episcopal Church -Wall Street..
INSIDE the protest began with one man challenging the mask/vax policy as being un-Christian. (Even more strange rules prevailed, as he passed thru the screener to enter the church, he was forced to relinquish his cigarettes.)
Video Part 1 . It was difficult hear what was said since the church security formed a tight circle around the Christian protestor.
Outside, in front of the church doors, unvaxed worshipers chanted “LET US Pray”. While many cops were seen to arrive, they kept coming and coming , they didn’t interfere with the Christian worshipers.
Part 2 video
.Flickr slide show # 1- Christians were segregated- denied entry – NOT allowed to pray at historical Trinity Episcopal Church at Wall st/Ground Zero. They had to show vaccine PAPERS to PRAY. Shameful! un-Christian. “What would Jesus Do?”
Flickr slide show # 2 – screen shots ISIDE as the protest in support of those Christians denied entry BEGAN.
East Ghost Reports captured the moment a member of the clergy attempted to address the complaints of the Christians who were denied entry TO PRAY. Nothing came of this, of course.
Final look at the very WOKE Trinity Church Mission Statement:
Trinity Church Wall Street is a growing and inclusive Episcopal parish that seeks to serve and heal the world by building neighborhoods that live Gospel truths, generations of faithful leaders, and sustainable communities. We are guided by our core values: faith, integrity, inclusiveness, compassion, social justice, and stewardship. Members come from New York City and surrounding areas to form a racially, ethnically, and economically diverse congregation. Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel are the cornerstones of the parish’s community life, worship, and mission. Worship is at the center of parish life, with 20 services offered every week, many of which are streamed online and viewed by hundreds of thousands worldwide. As historic buildings and active churches, Trinity Church and St. Paul’s Chapel also welcome more than three million visitors and pilgrims from around the world every year.
Sadly, on August 21, 2022: Not EVERYONE was WELCOMED

August 4, 2022 . Outside and inside – AGAIN – while protesting to SAVE the Babies from this poison. “Save the Babies. save the Children” protestors, as they arrived, took the protest inside. Then – after police removed them- they continued outside the vax hub warning the parents of the dangers within. The messages on the sidewalk were very clear, as were the verbal warnings. But, sadly, there were parents who took their babies inside anyway.

Part 3
The BAD ‘science’ that sends these misguided parents in to these clinics is criminal abuse and there are LOTS of people- at the TOP- who should be prosecuted.
Flashback from 7/6/22 – Unhappy with the NYPD barricades that were blocking the building at the 42nd vax hub, there was a brief tug-o-war with the police. All ended well after the points were made
This was tame compared to what the Marxist “thought police ” not only do to the police but to anyone they declare is unfit to walk the earth.

August 8, 2022 . NYC, 6 pm, across from Grand Central in front of “Friends of IDF “(Israel Defense Forces) headquarters. It was VERY hot. in the high 90s, but heat index much higher.
The SOCIALIST Revolution signs were leading the way as they assembled on the sidewalk outside 60 East 42nd st.
Flickr part 1-signs . lots of signs
Flickr Part 2- they begin with the anti Israel hate filled chants, that are repeated over and over, until their leader, Nerdeen Kiswani arrives.
Flickr Part 3- the crowd spilled in to the street and the police – as usual- simple adds barricades to protect the ‘palis’ and friends from passing cars. Cause these protestors are going to go wherever THEY want to go.
Video – Part 1 – a look at the crowd as they dutifully CHANT
Video Part 2- Nerdeen Kiswani takes over the chants. (a young protestor faints from the heat) BUT Nerdeen continues (after all-they have a trained MEDIC) They must keep going!
Video part 3 – Nerdeen Kiswani. The crowd loves here hate filled rhetoric. Always the start speaker. BUT, the very loud amps and her propensity to GROWL makes it difficult to record her every word clearly.
Thee were also a few pro-Israel/pro-IDF supporters across 42ndt. st.
But even those few were an annoyance to the ‘palis’ . SO, they sent a ‘fakestinian’ flag to stand beside them.

In 2021-22, the Marxists seemed to be the only ones to remember, though imperfectly, the A-Bombs of 1945. Their one goal at these protests is abolishing nuclear weapons.
++ Was dropping the atomic bomb justified?++
“The dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima was justified at the time as being moral – in order to bring about a more rapid victory and prevent the deaths of more Americans. However, it was clearly not moral to use this weapon knowing that it would kill civilians and destroy the urban milieu. Apr 6, 2022.”
Dec. 7, 1941 (a day that would live in infamy) to Aug 6-9, 1945 (VJ Day celebrations in Times Sq). BUT, the Japanese aggression is conveniently omitted.
: Gen. Minoru Genda, who helped plan the attack on Pearl Harbor, stated at a Naval Institute event in 1969 that he was not bitter towards the U.S. for dropping the bomb on his hometown of #Hiroshima. He said “if we had the atomic bomb in 1945, we would have dropped it on you.”
The only ‘take away’ for these dedicated Marxist Pacifists is to STOP all things nuclear, demanding NYC to be a Nuclear Free Zone. SO, every August these mostly senior pacifists gather to protest nuclear weapons (AND energy).
Japanese survivors participate – but the speakers both years, were barely amplified so they were difficult to understand.
FIRST: On Aug 6, 2021, at 11 am, the 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki protestors gathered in the courtyard entrance to Mayor Dinkins municipal building across from City Hall.
”Join the Community of NYC Nuclear Weapons Free Heroes”
The posters focused on the American Marxist pacifists. Their speeches and posters neglected to mention the Japanese civilians victimized by their own Japanese war machine.
Flickr slide show of 76th anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Marxist loving “Rise and Resisters -NY” demanded that Speaker Johnson pass Nuclear Disarmament Legislation Now! and join the community of NYC Nuclear Weapons Free Heroes.
Video –First fellow was reading the legislation demand from his cell phone, un-amplified so audio competed with traffic.
The second was an older fellow (at 1:35) proudly told of a protest at a nuclear submarine (the USS Florida). I didn’t hear a year but I think it was 2018.
The Kings Bay Plowshares Seven. The seven Catholic plowshare activists who disarmed weapons at the Kings Bay Naval Base, Georgia in 2018 are now facing years of prison for their act of disarmament.
He said he masqueraded as one of 4 workers with hard hats who boarded the submarine … for 25-30 minutes. Once they unfurled their protest banners, THEN security was called to remove them. He also said, at the same time, five other protestors with hammers were damaging (a sonar sphere) and mentioned an associate who travels with a smithy … turning weapons into plowshares; hammered into weapons of soil to create life not take life. “This is how disarmament starts”, he says. [End Video]
Turning now to the 2022 and the 77th Anniversary in Manhattan and their nuclear anniversary weapons protest.
Aug. 5, 2022 – Outside the Japanese consulate. NYC. This year there was such an obsession with MASKING that the muffled English language interpreter was wasted. Disappointed to not get a good audio of the survivor speakers
Flickr slide show – Raging Grannies for Peace, Rise and Resisters – Marxists all – protesting nuclear bombs, protesting nuclear energy
Video 1 –The very Left -leaning Pacifist “Raging Grannies” were the pre-speakers ‘entertainment’ outside the NYC Japanese Consulate. Mourning the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 (that ended WW2 and saved lives) the Raging Grannies (for Peace) were protesting nuclear bombs and protesting nuclear energy with “No nukes. No Nukes. No Nukes.”
Video 2 – Ringing a bell for peace & prayer at 77th Anniversary of Hiroshima/Nagasaki.
See phot0 essay at NY Daily News of the 1945 aftermath
The conflict over ”to be nuclear or not” goes on and on. The Marxists claim to oppose anything nuclear but they are predictably inconsistent …. a Rise and Resist-NY blind spot: a nuclear IRAN (UANI 2017)
Should we expect they will hop-a-boat to the land of Persia and vandalize their nuclear bases? How far would they get with that protest action.
The real enemies of peace go unchallenged. It’s the Communist Way : Confuse. Divide. Conquer.

More MANDATES are coming
From NY’s un-elected Governor, Kathy Hochul
… As the tyranny continues …
After months of protests against this Global Tyranny, led and fed by the WHO and WEF, NYrs continue to demand this outrage. ENOUGH. These illegal mandates must END.
.Yet, the wilful government ignorance continues as the PUSH to vax the babies:
They do not understand any resistance:” The Kaiser Family Foundation survey also found that 43% of parents of children ages 6 months through 4 years said they would refuse the shots for their kids.” (claiming)
“One reason for this ongoing struggle is continued vaccine hesitancy driven by skepticism that’s deep-seated in communities that are difficult to penetrate due to language, education, culture immigration status and health education. Misinformation around vaccines is still rife, and many of our patients do not trust institutional hospitals or corporate pharmacy chains — especially with a child’s health.” [NY Daily News]
.What follows are five impassioned protests, March 19, thru June 23, 2022, with regular New Yorkers warning against the Mandate Tyranny as “America, what a country” takes on a new and sinister meaning.
++ Thursday,June 23, 2022 –Hands Off Our Children !- Foley Sq, across from 125 Worth St. Andrew Giuliani, candidate for NY State Governor, spoke at the rally demanding the mandates END. (after losing the primary vote, Giuliani now supports Lee Zelden for Gov)
Brief video – the first speaker at this protest warns of the injuries and deaths from the ‘vaccines’.

++ Monday,June 6, 2022 – “Mayor Adams, END Medical Fraud Now!” (outside NY City Hall )
Video Part 1 (5:21) “VOTE. Run for political office! They are in middle of a Third World War. They must be stopped. Medical Freedom. The Nuremberg Code. Your right to control what goes in your body. Democrat Party supports this fraud. Organize.“
Video Part 2– Un-vaxxed waitress, Elissa Embree lost her job thanks to Mayor Adams illegal mandates. Embree said that when she learned Adams had granted exemptions to highly-paid athletes and performing artists, “I thought to myself: This is a major slap in the face.”
++ Tuesday, May 24, 2022. “W.H.O do you think you are: Stop The Treaty!” Outside the United Nations – NYC. STOP THE TREATY!
There was an enthusiastic turnout committed this day to reading the Constitution.
Excerpted Videos of speakers reading the U.S. Constitution outside the U.N. The readers often pointed to the parallel offenses that have continued into the 21st century, making the readings come alive.
1.”EVAN began the readings by inviting anyone who has sworn an oath to the Constitution to read and listing the offenders to our Constitution that are aligned with W.H.O. ”
A U.S. Marine reads the Preamble and “Jo Speaks Truth” reminds the crowd why they are fighting back against tyranny:
This reader, Joy, also included a powerful commentary.

.++ Monday, May 2, 2022- Mayor Adams, End All Mandates (outside NY City Hall- AGAIN) Demanding an END to Covid MASK mandates. Mayor Adams Do Your Job!
It was ALL about the masks today: Excerpted Videos of three speakers, who had a lot to say. Vids are in RUMBLE due to the Covid statements.
Part 1 (2:12) Dem. NY Gov. Kathy Hocul intends to quarantine Americans, force vaccinate. Her bill must be destroyed. Get creative.
Part 2 (11:31) “We are in a new age of pandemics …. the AGE of Pandemics. WHY Now? “Plandemic Conferences”. That is what has changed. And there is a NEW(phoney virus) one coming. CDC says COVID was just a wake up call. Obedience training chronology will include masking – AGAIN. They are mandating ‘vaccines’ that do not work. FEAR allows them to demolish our economy. This will never end. Why did they shut down 190 countries. It’s a scam. A complete change in society. (Gov) Cuomo KNEW this was a scam. They are not going to roll it back. Are toddlers STILL wearing masks? Depriving them of oxygen. We as a people must not obey these ILLEGAL mandates! Rebuild our country.”
Part 3 (4:08) “If you do not feel safe, the you are not safe.Why mask children, toddlers, when restaurants … no masks. More people die from ‘vaccine’ than the virus. ASK questions. Why continue to COMPLY by wearing masks. NO asymptomatic transmission. No science to support. They murder the patients by denying them treatment- with medicines that WORK. “

++ Saturday, March 19, 2022 – World Freedom Day NYC – Times Sq – Anti-Mandate demonstrators took to New York City streets. It’s2022 and they have been relentlessly protesting the government mandates for TWO years .
Flickr slide show of Times Sq Protest to “END Illegal Mandates”, sharing their enthusiasm with the tourists passing by …. before marching to Union Sq.
VIDEO: The protestors gathered in Times Square, then marched to Union Square where they held another rally. Valiant warriors all.
Which brings us back to the main question re The Global Power Grab, what the tyrants have PLANNED and can it be stopped?
From Covid to Monkey Pox to …. whatever … This is what could happen if they succeed in locking down the world.
Among the trends of COVID-19 is that governments may now be more inclined to use a seasonal virus, already declared as endemic, to justify an indefinite global emergency. And small outbreaks can also be used to justify deeply authoritarian policies that aren’t limited to healthcare. [Epoch Times]
WE DO NOT and WILL NOT COMPLY
[Where indicated pictures and videos property of Pamela Hall-VSB]
The usual hard-core left came out out for this rally, propelled by hysteria and disinformation they claimed the “supremes” had not only made abortion ILLEGAL, but gay rights of all kinds would be next.
While those in Foley waited for the marchers to cross the Bklyn Bridge, many here were busy setting up their (mostly) ABORTION-on-demand displays.
Guesstimets of 10,000 protestors marching across the bridge are just that, a guess, but whatever, their arrival would not happen for a couple of hours,
So… no use hanging around after I recorded the signs: “my job was done”.
Yes, Foley Sq. was “alive” with the visual clutter of killing-the-babies activism.
Once the march arrived with their signs promoting Gay rights, Black rights, Trans rights as well as abortion rights, it was going to be a very big party.
Remember, those who aide-and-abet abortion-on-demand are the Good Guys.
“Abortion Pills” treated like candy (as in the kiddy pool)
The message this day – and still : FUCK the Supreme Court!
Oh, and lots of Peace Doves, hanging every where, cause we all know how ‘peaceful’ the left can be.
The police were very visible, but only on the perimeter of Foley Square.
They just seemed to hang while I was there since the march hadn’t come over the bridge yet. (Their presence must have been for the march- not the “party”)
And those Food Trucks. I’ve been to many Foley Sq protests but this was the first time I’ve seen any food trucks lined up like that.
Flickr Slide Show:
.With all the amplified speakers lined up in front of the stage, it was going to be a VERY LOUD event, so my decision to leave ahead of the crowd was easy.
July 6, 2022. Times Square. 42nd st. A new vax-hub set-up to vaccinate, to JAB our babies and toddlers. It is open for business.
Anti-mandate activists pleaded with parents to NOT give their kids, their babies, this experimental jab.
This is one of the locations NYC where parents are encouraged to bring their BABIES and toddlers to be vaxxed.
.After a few mothers and fathers brought their BABIES to the hub, a street theatre mom (who was actually with the protestors) pretended to change her mind and did not enter. (fun)
An odd homeless fellow hung around, stripped off his shirt, even took the time to PONDER his cig as he played to the cameras.
Many inside appear to be Chinese, causing an unsubstantiated reaction that the Chinese are running the hub. [Odd? Or just a coincidence?] Whatever, they were no longer welcoming exposure from the street…SO… the windows were papered over. Now no one can see inside. (this happened after the first protest)
What was revealed, once inside, was a VERY empty facility, with lots of staff at the ready. Perhaps the low attendance means the parents are protecting their babies from this experimental “vaccine”.
But, doctors are questioning the SCIENCE. (They have from the beginning)
…Perhaps the educating of the parents is working. (we can hope)
.Meanwhile, as long as the government is promoting anxiety filled ads, the protests continue. On this day (July 6th) there were about around 20 people who protested babies getting the jab. Pleading with the parents and passersby to SAVE the Children.
.Police and protestors at one point fought over the use of barricades.
While inside, the staff hid from the protestors behind a black curtained barrier.
Ashamed maybe?

Part 3
.Flickr slide show The complaint from the protestors: “The cops protect these demons and then state they are just doing they job . So clearly their job is to not save children from evil organizations but instead to keep the organization safe to tamper with children, from parents who actually care.”
“..the WEF invites viewers to “take a peek at the future”. And it is BLEAK. It is all about making COVID life permanent.”
“It seems criminal that we put out the recommendation to give mRNA COVID vaccines to babies without good data. We really don’t know what the risks are yet. So why push it so hard?” a CDC physician added. A high-level FDA official felt the same way: “The public has no idea how bad this data really is. It would not pass muster for any other authorization.”
And yet, the FDA and the CDC pushed it through. That slap in the face of science may explain why only 2% of parents of children under age five have chosen to get the COVID vaccine, and 40% of parents in rural areas say their pediatricians did not recommend the COVID vaccine for their child.”
.Silencing physicians is not “following the science.” Less absolutism and more humility by the men and women running our public health agencies would go a long way in rebuilding public trust

“The Broadway League’s “Black to Broadway” Initiative will present “Broadway Celebrates Juneteenth“, a free outdoor event centered around black joy and unity that will feature black Broadway performers in a free outdoor 90-minute concert.
The goal of “Black to Broadway” is to inspire deeper engagement with, awareness of, and access to Broadway for all black people. Created by the Broadway League in 2019, and originally called “Let’s Do Broadway“, this initiative is an industry-wide celebration of the black community on Broadway—on stage, in the audience, behind the scenes and as leaders in the Broadway community.
With special guest appearances by 2022 Tony Award-winner Myles Frost(MJ The Musical)…
And 2022 Tony Award nominee Jared Grimes (Funny Girl) …
(as well as many others).
This year’s event includes the inaugural presentation of the Juneteenth Legacy Awards honoring Leslie Uggams and Ben Vereen
… for their incredible community involvement and astounding achievements on Broadway.”
Broadway Celebrates Juneteenth starts at noon and is a free 90-minute concert featuring black performers, and allies, performing their own works of art, with their song, dance, and poetry accompanied by live music provided by The Music Performance Trust Fund. [End Bdwy League Press release]
Duffy Square was very hot. The sun was beating down on us, no shade.
Didn’t seem to matter, though. the crowd was very happy, looking forward to the celebration .
“In Galveston, Texas, the home of Juneteenth, residents began marking the day when members of the Union Army arrived upon the southern reaches of Texas in 1865 to both inform enslaved people that they were henceforth entitled to a wage for their labor, and to enforce the Emancipation Proclamation among slaveholders. Black people have led their own celebrations for the holiday since its inception. Their celebrations have since reached everywhere the black diaspora has spread.” [AOL]
.Video 2 – June 19, 2022- Ben Vereen was an honored guest, but first he gave an introduction to the meaning/ history of the Juneteenth Celebration.
The crowd was also watching behind the enclosed area and seated on the red steps.
Video 3 – Charlotte St, Martin (President of the Broadway League) introduced Ben Vereen and Leslie Uggams who were being honored with the 2022 “Juneteenth Legacy Awards“, followed by Tony winner, Myles Frost.
Regarding this new National Holiday, “Charlie Kirkpointed out that the recent push around the June 19th holiday is a cynical attempt by the Left to sow division and tell Americans that “really we’re more racist than ever.” [Human Events]
As much as I would like racism to be erased, the proliferation of the Marxist CRT (Critical Race Theory -Woke narrative)- that black artists must now be hired at all levels, instead of white people, to supposedly end racism: this propaganda has warped their minds. They can’t handle the truth, that hiring anyone based on the color of their skin: IS racism.
Video 4 – Brian Moreland, Aaliytha Stevens (Exec Prod of Broadway Celebrates Juneteenth/Black to Broadway) They introduced Leslie Uggams, who received the 2022 “Juneteenth Legacy Award“. But, first they spoke of her many accomplishments on Broadway.
Video 5 –Leslie Uggams then accepts the 2022 “Juneteenth Legacy Award“.

Unfortunately, Kamala Harris exhibited – again – how misinformed too many have become.
“Vice President, Kamala Harris, bungled a history lesson about the Juneteenth holiday Monday, telling kids that black people were enslaved in America for 400 years — overstating the actual time period by more than 150 year” [NY Post]
++ But, Deroy Murdock, an American political commentator, offers a better understanding of the Juneteenth holiday. (It’s long, but well-written.)
America marks our second Juneteenth national holiday Monday. Some will focus on the severe pain and death that slavery inflicted on blacks between 1619 and 1865. It would be far more useful, however, to celebrate so much that black Americans have accomplished since the original Juneteenth liberated the last of some 4 million emancipated slaves.
That joyous day arrived on June 19, 1865. Having vanquished the Confederacy that April, victorious Union Army soldiers reached Galveston, Texas. They encountered that final group of slaves who were unaware that the South had fallen.
More important, the men in blue uniforms read General Order No. 3 to people who, until then, were private property: “All slaves are free.” Henceforth, these black men, women and children belonged to themselves, not others.
Republican-led Reconstruction efforts initially offered blacks much hope. Some former slaves represented the South in Congress.
Alas, Democrats got the upper hand as Reconstruction faltered, and they dug their heels into black necks. But despite the oppression of Democrat-enforced Jim Crow laws and the terror imposed by the Democrat-founded and -manned Ku Klux Klan, blacks capitalized on the opportunities that America offered, first grudgingly and then with increasing enthusiasm. Since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 torpedoed Democrat-operated systemic racism in the South, millions of blacks have flourished across America.
Booker T. Washington rose “Up from Slavery,” as his fascinating memoir details. Born as his master’s possession in 1856, Washington was free but spectacularly poor after the first Juneteenth. At one point, he slept beneath a raised sidewalk in Richmond, Va.
Washington soon educated himself and then others. He founded Alabama’s Tuskegee Institute on July 4, 1881. It was among the first historically black colleges and universities. Washington wrote and lectured widely and became the White House’s first black dinner guest when Republican President Theodore Roosevelt welcomed him in October 1901.
Madam C.J. Walker became America’s first female millionaire entrepreneur. She earned her fortune in the early 1900s by marketing hair-care products to fellow blacks. By selling Afro Sheen before Afro Sheen, she made enough money to buy a mansion in posh Westchester, near that of John D. Rockefeller.
The Netflix mini-series “Self-Made” dramatizes Walker’s amazing story. It stars Octavia Spencer, a black success story in her own right and an Academy Award winner, along with Sidney Poitier, Isaac Hayes, Whoopi Goldberg, Denzel Washington, Spike Lee and numerous other exceptional black filmmakers.
Black musicians Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington co-fathered jazz, as W.C. Handy, Sidney Bechet, Ella Fitzgerald, Fats Waller, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Delight Jones, George Benson, Wynton Marsalis and countless other black talents still polish this all-American art form to a blinding sheen.
The Tuskegee Airmen bombed Adolf Hitler to bits and buried beneath smoldering rubble the notion that blacks lacked the brains to fly.
Jackie Robinson integrated baseball. Muhammad Ali was The Greatest pugilist. Michael Jordan towered over basketball. Tiger Woods dominated golf and still competes despite severe wounds from a February 2021 car wreck.
Impresario Berry Gordy launched a whole new sound called Motown. Kenneth Chenault led American Express for 17 years. Ursula Burns was Xerox CEO. Richard Parsons ran Citigroup and Time Warner. E. Stanley O’Neal’s grandfather was a slave. Two generations later, O’Neal chaired Merrill Lynch.
Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice were US secretaries of state. Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch were US attorneys general. Kamala Harris is vice president. And Barack Obama spent eight years as president.
If he were alive, Dr. Martin Luther King likely would argue that — while room to rise remains — his Dream has come true. Beyond these famous names, millions of black Americans use their freedom to improve themselves, their loved ones, their communities and this nation.
This and every Juneteenth, Americans of all hues should applaud black success since emancipation rather than wallow with the critical race theorists in all the wrongs before June 19, 1865. [NY Post] END

Took many pictures of the protest, cause there were so many signs. Lots of hidden gems spewed by the misinformed.
“Bodily Autonomy for Transgender Youth…” You’re not saving babies you’re killing WomXn”
Flickr Slide show- If not in a hurry, take the time to scroll thru the slide show and zero in on the crowd signage.
.Scheduled for 6;30 pm in Washington Sq. where the protestors had gathered much earlier.
The place was packed and had spilled into the street by 6:15. Forget filming speakers. (Not that they ever say anything new)
The crowd was young. Very white. And never stopped walking – fast- towards the Washington Sq arch. I couldn’t take pictures fast enough, as they hurried past me. Intensely, like ( the green sign) “Dykes 4 Abortion”
Happy. Smiling. 1973 T’s were popular
No intense anger as many hurried by. Just a crowd looking forward to the PARTY.
Planned Parenthood, the American Civil Liberties Union and abortion providers filed suit to stymie the law, arguing that it violated the state’s constitution.
Parties opposed to the 15-week ban pushed back against the legislation, asserting that the Sunshine State constitution guarantees the right to an abortion.
Their legal challenge leaned on a 1980 amendment that guaranteed a broad right to privacy. The state Supreme Court previously interpreted those rights to include access to abortion.” [NY Post]
Two Comments from NY Post article:
“So the legislature passes the fifteen week ban and the governor signs it. Maybe I am confused, but isn’t this exactly how SCOTUS said that this process is supposed to work? I could have sworn that is what they said in their ruling last Friday. Six days later a judge say’s “sorry….not happening”. Even though the process worked exactly as it is supposed to.” [comment 1]
“Socialicommimarxifascist”shifferbrains, following the U.S. Constitution is what judges are SWORN to do. Only in “socialicommimarxifascist” idiotland do people think otherwise.” [comment 2]
“Forced Motherhood is Female Enslavement”

“Thousands of protesters converged in Manhattan’s Washington Square Park One cop estimated there were 17,000 people in the crowd.
On this day, June 24, she grabbed a bullhorn under the park’s renowned arch and slammed the Supreme Court as “radical.”
“Every movement in this country, every revolution we’ve ever experienced in this country, has not been led by elected officials, it’s been led by all of you who are here today to demand justice,” James told protesters.
“The only way we can respond to this political decision is a political response is to vote. Vote for those women who will not have rights to abortion. Vote for all those in harm’s way today. Vote against the Supreme Court of the United States, our radical right-wing Supreme Court.” [NY Post]
