I offered my immediate impressions of a trial in a post yesterday.

This morning Tim messaged me this music video he created after the trial.  It’s worth the time.

While Laurel Libby is soaking up the DC accolades Tim is slogging away on the same issue from his wilderness hideout somewhere in the woods of Maine.  He produces his online content with electricity provided by a gas powered generator!  He released this video on the day of an emotional trial where he fearlessly faced down his accusers in front of a Judge.

I was there.  The entire trial was the image of what our “society” is now.  It is an anti-society.  There is nothing real, true or reasonable about it.  It is like social media and the internet now.  The Western world is womanized.  If you don’t emote properly then you face humiliation, or worse if you live in England — jail time.

It was a great honor to be there yesterday with Tim, his wife Jen, Richard and a young man I met for the first time.  Tim respected the Judge and the law but he didn’t give an inch to the crybabies.  I wish the trial had been video LIVEstreamed and recorded.  At least there is an audio copy that is being acquired by Richard and will be released publicly on X.

The trial makes it painfully obvious that Maine’s anti-harassment statutes must be tightened up.  Public officials must not be allowed to abuse them to deny a member of the public the right to speak at a public hearing.  Personal insults and politically motivated fighting language must not be interpreted as harassment.  When you sign up for public responsibilities in Maine you’re signing up for battle without bullets.  Words are the ammunition.

If we fail to honor this Western tradition, and definition of free speech, bullets are going to fly.  One of the legitimate functions of politics is the release of public tensions without violence.  Maine has a proud tradition, going back to 1820, of resolving all of our major statewide disputes without organized violence.  We debate and vote through elections and legislative wrangling.

These school board members are forcefully undermining this mechanism so that they can get their way on sexuality and gender.  Maine people are suffering more deeply every day because of the weaponization of sex and gender.  We will arrive at a more natural and wholesome consensus either through lawmaking or violence.  This hellish trajectory cannot go on forever.

If you aren’t slinging truth it’s definitely time to start.  Join me in doing some thoughtful real life truth slinging on June 14th in Central Maine.

Selah.
