Hey, I’m learning the new WordPress platform, so here’s a good test. Like I said a couple of weeks ago, we need the truth. It’s simple. Just let the facts shine. Here’s a terrific example from Dr. Ed Berry in Montana. Check it out:Censorship is the biggest threat to democracy Please tell your friends my letters are important to their freedom.Imagine, if you will, a Montana where our Republican leaders were honest, faithful, intelligent, and “good.”Montana’s Attorney General Knudsen would have uncensored me. Let me help defend Held v Montana. Select a dozen expert witnesses. Organize their testimonies to counter the plaintiffs’ climate claims. Teach defense attorneys to cross-examine plaintiffs’ experts and lead defense experts.Without question, we would have defeated Held v Montana. Shocked and changed the world. Saved Montana from paying the plaintiffs’ attorneys a few million dollars.We would have awakened people from their climate delusions. Stopped the evil indoctrination of children in climate fiction, fear, and anxiety. Showed how the scientific method finds truth. Opened minds to the physics truth that nature, not human carbon emissions, controls the climate.We would have forced governments to discard laws and taxes on carbon emissions. Freed governments to make economic decisions without “green” distortions. Stopped wasting money and engineering talent on senseless carbon capture.We would have, in time, eliminated America’s annual deficit which today is entirely caused by “green” laws and taxes. Strengthened the US dollar. Helped people buy homes, wheels, and food.No more counting carbon footprints. No more climate challenges to Donald Trump’s energy plan.We would have stopped the World Economic Forum, the Deep State, and Bill Gates’ plan to enslave America by 2030 because their plan needs the climate delusion.America’s Republican and Democrat vice-president candidates, Vance and Walz, agreed in their debate, that censorship is the biggest threat to democracy. That we must debate our differences. Persuade but never censor.Ah, but I must be dreaming.Montana’s Republican leaders – Daines, Zinke, Gianforte, Sheehy, Downing, and other RATS (Republicans Against Truth) – secretly censor me and climate truth.They support AG Knudsen’s despicable deliberate loss of Held v Montana. They accepted their thirty pieces of silver to censor scientific truth and secretly betray the people.Do any pastors, preachers, priests, elders, or voters care about truth and freedom?Ed Berry LLC The post MONTANA FIGHTS FOR THE TRUTH appeared first on Bikernet Blog - Online Biker Magazine.

Additional features to enhance comfort are the sculpted fuel tank with knee cut-outs, rubber pads and weights in the footpegs, and bar-end weights to manage vibration.
