It's One Cabal
![]() |
By Gretchen Garrity
Rep. Bob Titus held a fundraiser recently. It was held at Affinity Riverside Estate in Springfield. It was very well attended by supporters, as well as elected officials. Congressman Eric Burlison was slated to attend but had to be back in Washington D.C. for the vote to reopen the federal government. He did appear via phone video, and endorsed Rep. Titus.
There was, however, a very interesting occurrence at the event. There were protesters present. The paid kind, in my opinion.
Perhaps they believed Congressman Burlison was going to be there. Perhaps they were sent specifically to send a message to the other elected officials who attended. Protesters were stationed at both the bottom and top of the entrance to the venue. They were not a large number, perhaps 10, and as you can see from the photo, they were there to intimidate more than to protest.
Some were masked, some had bullhorns, most had signs. At the top of the entrance way, one of the protesters stayed busy filming the vehicles of all who drove up. In the darkness, it was difficult to figure out what they were protesting, although there was a lot of yelling.
On the way out, I rolled down my window and inquired of one of the protesters what they were specifically protesting.
"You are gonna pay, fascist," was the reply.
This is the kind of rhetoric (h/t to Dash) that solves nothing. The fact it was most likely paid protesters intimates the Cabal who runs things in Missouri is getting nervous. They sense a move of something they cannot control.
It's getting ugly out there. Stand fast.

Defining Terms
| Brian Doyle, The Daily Declaration |
By Gretchen Garrity
The next time local activists spout off about free speech at the library, share this story with them. From the article,"A Western Australian library worker who refused to undergo mandatory 'diversity' training promoting transgender ideology is now taking legal action, after being forced from his job after 15 years of faithful service.
Declan Mansfield, a former employee of the City of Armadale library in Perth’s southeast, said he was pressured to resign after opting out of a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) course that, he believed, embedded transgender ideology in the workplace.
'There should be no ideological litmus test that employees in either the public or private sectors should have to pass to gain and retain employment,' Declan told The Daily Declaration.
'This should be especially so in libraries, which rely at their ideological core on the notion of freedom of speech.'"
It would be a terrible pity to find out that such things happen to library staff here in the USA. Another reason the ALA is wholly unsuited to be an authoritative voice for libraries. Like all ideologues who oppose traditional values like parents' rights, the ALA changes the meanings of words to suit their revolutionary agenda. "Equity of access" is just another meaning for forced outcomes.
While the ALA states they are in favor of access of ALL library materials for ALL AGES, what they really mean is they want the power to force your children to be indoctrinated with DEI, CRT, Transgender ideology and so on. They call it "freedom of speech," but it's really freedom to brainwash and demoralize your children.
Some books should be relocated and restricted from children, who do not have the emotional and intellectual development to effectively process certain topics. Parents have the authority to choose sexually charged and ideologically-driven books for their children, but not to force other parents' children to be exposed to them willy-nilly on a library shelf. That's just common sense. It has nothing to do with free speech. But the case below--now that's about free speech:
Our latest legal case, which is against the @CityofArmadale! As Declan says, 'thus far and no further'. pic.twitter.com/yQQQRo42Vy
