  1. What is the best way to make money from crypto trading?

  2. Republicans are sheep.
    They need everyone around them to act or be the same, or they get scared and violent.
    Republicans are sheep.

  3. Good luck taxpayers in Arkansas. The GOP in your state are a danger to our country.

  4. This is the usual Political woke crap Republicans are pushing to get parents angry over false narratives. They're all about book burning and turning schools into war zones. Glenn Youngkin played a similar game on Virgina voters to win the Governor election. This is all about getting votes and that's all it is.

  5. That is what parents are for,#2,protect children from gun deaths ⚖️🔥🆘☠️

  6. The Holy Bible is obscene.

  7. Fantastic law. Love it.

  8. JUST LIKE IT IS AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY TO EMPLOY THE ARMY AGAINST " THE PEOPLE"
    IT IS AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF DEMOCRACY TO BAN ANY BOOK AND HAVING BREACHED THAT RIGHT TO INVENT REASONS TO ATTACK THE PEOPLE AND SUFFER THE PEOPLE BY UNFAIR HYPOCRITICAL, ILLOGICAL, UNREASONABLE LAWS SIMPLY TO HARASSE THE PEOPLE

  9. Parents who want their children's reading limited should get a special library pass the forbids children to check out books by themselves. Put the onus on the haters and ignoramuses.

  10. Ok so why isn’t there a rating system just like renting rated R movies.

    When you was little you didn’t get to rent just any movie so what makes books any different.

  11. ให้เลือกตั้งเฉพาะตำแหน่งนายกรัฐมนตรีส่วนสสสวไม่ต้องเลือกตั้งใหม่ให้เอาตามเดิมที่เป็นอยู่ตอนนี้ไปก่อนตำแหน่งประธานาธีบดีให้เว้นไว้ก่อนเรายังต้องอาศัยนายกเป็นคนรับแขกและทำหน้าที่ด้านต่างประเทศส่วนเรื่องในประเทศสหรัฐเราจะเป็นคนบริหารเมื่อประเทศหลุดพ้นจากหนี้สินค่อยมาเลือกตั้งผู้นำใหม่เพื่อไม่ให้ประเทศสหรัฐล่มสลาย

  12. Only fascists ban books.

  13. I'm torn on this issue. Every book should be accessible to all people interested in any given subject!!! Period. And I do believe they are. Schools are for the education of the fundamental subjects. Public libraries are everywhere, and for free. And crap, you can check out almost any book right from home. Our children are stupid right now, let the schools get back to teaching. And put controversial literature in the public libraries for all to enjoy.

  14. ACLU has lost its mind this person is unstable fire her and get something better qualified.

  15. The American Taliban is alive and well

  16. Крагунана бракта дриктоскт кубланкт гизания гранкта каринакт габланкта графинкта

  17. Дранкта гулизгат кадраскта гублана лугарот бензикта кугланкта лигазот трикдрастка

  18. MSM should dig up what politicians had said about book banning in other countries.

  19. Лартака сток бунданка рок 👍фияркута бонза бугазотка фиюрка тутка сияние бухта

  20. Гугразия мордокрет гудрафолт ияска

  21. Фриянка кульбароса букта стика рубикон лояска кафритакуска бундароса кухкаруска.

  22. Гардрикта мугазот боракта каскрот ияхта гуфраниякта гудракт

  24. Каркустка страктакта барзактория бакраска бурструкт фиграния фидачкот.

  25. What is obscene is the Republican obsession for taking people choices away and dressing it up with the lie that we are saving the children. It is about control, pure and simple. Vote these lying anti-americans out. Jail em for trying to take people’s right away. They are the criminals, not the librarians, teachers, or authors. VOTE them OUT!

  26. Ok then they need to change the law and make sections for adults and sections for children in liberties!!!

  27. I cannot fathom why any reasonable adult would defend and even promote providing minors with obscene material. The assertion that these ”book bans” affect minority authors is just absurd, and has NOTHING to do with the real topic. What’s “unamerican” is trying to fit even this controversy into a racism narrative. What’s “unamerican ” is the sexualizing of our children which encourages them to get into risky behaviors. Adults, do as you please, but LEAVE THE KIDS ALONE.

  28. Now Arkansas is joining the hoopla? I am glad they are fighting it! This madness has to stop somewhere. This is not about Christianity, never was. This is about blocking access to information and knowledge, because it IS POWER! Power we are at last seeking out, because people are finding out for themselves that what they are being told and what actually is happening don’t add up! The math is not matching, not computing, not making sense! That everything adds up to a pile of d@@ around our knees!

  29. Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏

                    "Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that
                    the mercy of the Lord may quickly come
                    and lay hold of the beast,
                     the serpent of old, Satan
                    and his demons, casting him
                    in chains into the abyss, so that
                    he can no longer seduce the nations.
                   Thank you for everything
                     CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE,
                          LORD GOD. Amen."
    🙏🙏

          If you can't look and remember the words, just read and pray them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏☺ please say it now seriously

  30. Republicans fault taking away history banned books not right

  31. There is a time and a place for adult filth. It's called "after you turn 18" and "behind the swinging saloon doors."

  32. 9 of the top 10 states with the lowest spending on education? The Republican-led states of Kentucky, Arkansas, South Dakota, Alabama, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Tennessee, Idaho and Utah. 5 of the top 5 states with the lowest percentage of adults aged 25 and over who hold a bachelor's or greater degree? The Republican-led states of Kentucky, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and West Virginia. 9 of the top 10 states with the lowest household income? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Tennessee and South Carolina.
