I have not felt so strong as I have today in over a year! I just love America our Beautiful Diverse Country and for the very 1st time in my life I said Yes to a Fellow Patriot friend who organized his 1st peaceful protest in our Northern Illinois city of about 150,000 souls today Sunday October 17, 2021 Noon to 2 pm on one of the busiest intersections in town. He is a Veteran and served a brief stint in Gitmo.
7 total showed up and we had homemade posters like Freedom Not Tyranny, No Mandates, Honk For Freedom, Trader Joe Gotta Go Gitmo Express. I brought 2 3 x 5 ft cloth flags and some lil flags also! The bigger flags were Awesome! After a lil while 2 women joined us with their posters about no mandates and then two more!!! They were not part of our group, How Cool!!
We had so so so many honks! Only 3 middle finger commies. One freaky raging at the moon lunatic lady who looked possessed. We had a blast chanting Lets Go Brandon, USA USA USA and ended our rally with the pledge of Allegiance...tears...
I held that beautiful US Flag up straight...felt so true to do this and boy there are So Many With Us....I Feel Free Again and full of Hope that we really will and have WON!! My Veteran fren said Don't Tread On Me as I told him how I loved waving our flag. I asked him what he meant and he said our flag represents our Freedom and no one can take it away!
Thank you Frens for your fellowship. When I jump onto the Great Awakening it feels like home. Lively debates, a bit of infighting, the more seasoned anons offering a steady hand and the mods helping stir the ship. You all Rock!!
Cant wait for the next rally I think its Wednesday at 6 pm!

Your lucky to be gone...sad state of affairs here....wild west shootouts.....we have 3 dogs to keep it at bay ....
sorry to read that. We lived off Mulford, I think our street was called Fawnridge. What's all the crime about?
Out of control gang shootings. Migration from Chicago over time IMHO. Just a week ago they had a video of 3 perps during the day open Fire into an apartment by Rockford Hospital and video of them hunt the guy down hiding guns unloading.
Sad to see what's happened to my birthplace, the Forest City. Democrat policies and years of the Chicago ghetto exported to Rockford after they tore down Cabrini Green. Add in the Section 8 housing compound they built on State and Milford and you have a recipe for Demonrat disaster. Fuck em.
My neighborhood has just gotten worse and worse - rolling green.
I'll be moving within a year to ogle county, maybe Stephenson. Anywhere but here.
Sorry to read that, fren. I know that Rockford was quite the town back in the day - thriving. When the big plant moved out - was it steel? - that was kind of the end of it.
