This is obscene.
Jolly ol England has been undermining American sovereignty since we spun up this Constitutional Republic.
She’s been getting a lot of help from our inside lately.
England – where it’s an arrest able offense to speak the truth.
No thanks.
Same for Canada, and all other puppet nations that fall under the “crown”.
Respect should always be paid to our allies. I commend Gov. Insley for this gesture.
An ally doesn’t produce false dossiers to usurp your government.
Exactly! Thank you!
The passing of Queen Elizabeth denotes the passing of an era that many of our older parents and grandparents have traveled. Her death symbolizes, for many, the passage of a period.
Her Majesty was the epitome of service and when others struggled with integrity she was resolute. In a world that seems increasingly coarse she offered restraint, duty, grace, reticence, persistence – all worthy values.
Standing apart from partisan power, she could unite her nation in times of national joy or fear. Now, despite the political differences and despite some anti-monarchism, her people are brought together one last time as they grieve. She was a national treasure and many of us will miss her presence.
Nice optics.
