1. If another “reverend” had been so abusive to women to have had participated in gang rapes, he would be cancelled. We’ve been brainwashed with the sanitized version of who this historical figure was. Great speech, though.

2. Yep, you heard that correctly. A U.S. Senator opposed making MLK Jr. Day a federal holiday because he was a "Communist." Maybe we should be calling him "Reverend Comrade Dr. King." 🤦‍♂️ The worst part is, these loonies are still around today.

3. Looking at the comments, I understand why it took so long.

18. The Time is Always Right to do what is Right. – MLK
    Amen well said Sir. RIP!
    Election was stolen on 2020. This is what American wants. Same day voting. Paper ballots. Voter ID indicating that one is a US citizen before one can vote. I want my country back……. no ballot harvesting, no mail in votes, no water main breaks (lie), no last minute rule changing etc, etc. The reason Dems try to have voting without showing an ID card because their platform is not popular among American. That is why the dems want to change the voting laws because that is the only way they can steal the votes again.
    However I am very very Optimistic about our countries’ future. We will make America great again!
