We have watched as Black Lives Matter (BLM) took over Manhattan and looted and destroyed. Very little restrictions were placed on those who chose to loot and destroy. But somehow the rioters and looters were the only ones allowed to gather. We saw a playground in a Jewish neighborhood with gates welded shut so that children couldn&#8217;t play there (article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/?p=39118\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>). We saw the Jewish community attacked because they attended a funeral for one of their leaders. Meanwhile &#8220;Black Lives Matter&#8221; was painted in front of Trump Tower while a large crowd of people watched. The idea that only certain groups have rights has come to New York.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawenforcementtoday.com\/we-are-pulling-out-of-the-biggest-back-the-blue-rally-in-america\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Law Enforcement Today<\/a> posted an article about a planned Back the Blue Rally in New York.<\/p>\n<p>The article reports:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>I\u2019m disgusted. I\u2019m embarrassed. My heart is broken for the America that we\u2019ve lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>This morning, I woke up at 3am. I proudly announced on Fox and Friends First that Law Enforcement Today was proudly joining a number of other groups in taking part in the largest Back the Blue event in America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Acclaimed keynote speaker Paul Butler and I were going to be the joint Masters of Ceremonies. We had rock and roll legend Ted Nugent flying in for the National Anthem \u2013 accompanied by Congressman Clay Higgins, the keynote speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>The first wave in the attack came from Facebook. After 6300 people RSVP\u2019d to the event, the page was taken down by the social media giant.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>It didn\u2019t come as a surprise. I\u2019m the same guy that just got a lifetime ban from LinkedIn last month for sharing an article about a guy who tried to kill two cops. We are sort of use to it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>But what happened today? Today it became evident just how legitimate the war on law enforcement is.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Congressman Clay Higgins and Ted Nugent are not allowed to attend the event\u2026 and that apparently comes directly from Governor Cuomo\u2019s office.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>Within hours of announcing that they\u2019d be at the rally, Democrats throughout New York demanded the event be shut down.\u00a0 It was the typical liberal playbook \u2013 everyone that doesn\u2019t tow the line is a racist, sexist, xenophobe, Islamaphobe, etc.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>That didn\u2019t work. Because the last we checked, it\u2019s America. We have yet to see anyone shut down Al Sharpton from speaking at an event, or the self-proclaimed Marxists affiliated with Black Lives Matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>So they tried a new approach. The state police detail ensuring the security of Congressman Higgins and Ted Nugent were told they weren\u2019t allowed to offer protection.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Their careers were threatened. Then their families were threatened.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>So we came up with a new plan. We had dozens of Blue Knights who were going to provide safe passage.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And that\u2019s when the governor apparently pulled the ultimate \u201ctrump\u201d card. He instructed the health department to ensure that upon landing in the state, Congressman Higgins and Ted Nugent would either be turned around and sent back\u2026 or forced into a mandatory 14 day quarantine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article continues:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Nassau County Executive Laura Curran, a politician facing ethical issues, took to social media on Thursday to call Nugent a racist.\u00a0 She quickly came under attack on social media.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>On Friday night, in a desperate attempt to save face, she blamed the pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong><em>\u201cAfter being reminded of New York State\u2019s quarantine orders and Nassau County\u2019s protest protocols, Ted Nugent will no longer be attending tomorrow\u2019s march in Eisenhower Park.\u00a0 Congressman Clay Higgins is also being advised of New York State\u2019s quarantine Executive Order.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\" data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\"><strong>She went on to suggest it was about safety \u2013 despite precautions taken by event organizers to ensure proper social distancing.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-slot-rendered-dynamic=\"true\">The article details how Law Enforcement Today is fighting back:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>We\u2019ve hired dozens of new writers at Law Enforcement Today. Most of them are active, retired or wounded police officers or family members. Their sole job is to bring you the stories of what\u2019s really happening in America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>And we\u2019re putting a team of cinematographers on the road to capture the stories of police officers and patriotic Americans. The stories that the mainstream media often refuses to show you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The best way to fight back is to vote the people out of office who are making bad decisions.
