Peace, all.

We also did the same message Sunday night at Exit 19 overpass, and had a completely different response. Lots of beeps, many from tractor trailer drivers. These angry people are only making themselves look really bad. Basically what they are saying is no one has the right to think differently than they do. Apparently after the Mike Kibbles and Brooke Boices are no longer out there spewing their hatred, these poor low life morons don't have a leader anymore. Must make them so angry that they NEVER think that they also can do the same thing themselves. Guess it's much easier to be loud mouth assholes.

A SHOUT-OUT TO WARREN COUNTY SHERIFF, AND NEW YORK STATE POLICE FOR THE SUPPORT THEY GIVE US WHEN WE DO OUR LETTERS!!

My pet peeve ... Making Asia Great Again in their red hats driving a clearly Japanese car. Or South Korean car. I'm not against international trade and the value of those vehicles is a win-win for most purchasers. But I drive around silently in my Fords and vote for infrastructure. Kudos to the Light Brigade!

You have to wonder while scratching your head, how the supporters of Elise and the rest of the GOP ignore the facts that their "representatives" consistently work and vote against their best interests. I saw that presser with Mike Johnson and Rep. Williams. Johnson, without hesitation when asked, said yes, they would be working on repealing the CHIP act. He later issued the retraction. He heard the question clearly. He, the good Christian that he is, lied very clearly. Maybe the people in William's district heard that clearly.

One of the worst things these MAGA Republicans have done is give Christians a bad name. People who don’t know better think that in order to be a Christian now you have to worship Trump as if he’s the second coming.

I am an atheist.. but the one thing I used to respect cristians for their morals

Now I can only laugh at them for their hypocrisy

No! Please, Edward! These "Christians" do NOT reflect the beliefs and practices of the vast majority of followers of Jesus. Please do not judge all Christians by the actions of a few.

choice:

• willingly ignorant

• really ignorant

• that dumb

• when all you have is hate, you can only want to see liberal tears even if it works against you

The Light Brigade ...inventive in name and deed; performance art for Truth. They make the opposition shouting obscenities look moronic and just plain boring. The dirty words no longer shock except by their monotony. What more does one need to know? Thank you, Brigade, for showing Glens Falls how to Be.

in 2016, either:

• enough ignorant people supported a liar

• not enough clear-minded people voted

and we got:

• for the next four years, the corrupt president

ª colluded with russia

ª grifted America out of millions

ª liked 30,000+ times

ª the rapist continued to strip rights from women, children, men and America

• there were so many crimes committed by that president that it can not be listed

• eight years later we are still FINDING out more crimes committed

we can’t go back to 2026

we can’t

please, clear-minded people

PLEASE VOTE

people who committed violence in 2020

showed us an ugly vision... it was clear

you could say it was a 20/20 vision

Those who committed and those who look the other way (now).. have hate and violence in their core.

It will happen again, if the police want to casually talk to criminals, perhaps they just played their hand

Most sheriffs have no education beyond High School. They bear watching as well, sadly. They are disproportionately republican and I wouldn’t expect much help from them. I’m not saying all cops are bad cops, but the Blue Line is seldom crossed. As a musician who spent 30 years on the road, I met a ton of small town cops and sheriffs , and the majority with some exceptions were bullies with badges. Record EVERYTHING.

One question that's hard to answer: Is your County Sheriff a "Constitutional Sheriff"?

Aha. It seems from the NCPR reporting that Sheriff Bigwarfe is NOT a Constitutional Sheriff.

I suspect that directly asking sheriffs if they are Constitutional Sheriffs would not always get an honest answer. I wonder if there are any subtle questions to ask them when they are running for election that might reveal their leanings.

Not sure what I find more reprehensible, law enforcement NOT enforcing the laws to protect citizens

or law enforcement using laws to arbitrarily pulling over people (black people or anyone with a Harris/Walz bumper sticker) to harass them

Inside your question... how sad to wonder how we can get politicians to tell the truth by tricking them

when you elect your police.. no one votes on education.

Any other law enforcement have filters that sheriffs do not.. you are right

thanks, when I stumbled onto it, I was proud of myself ;-)

I guess I am old. I miss the days of making your feelings known by rolling your eyes. Flipping a finger feels like a slap in my face still. Seeing a movie like Deadpool is just painful.

I am in awe of the light brigade.

What must it be like to vibrate with anger like these men? They are in a dark place with no escape.

All I can say is, YAY for free speech!!!! Whoever these guys rea, my heart felt THANKS!!!!

Make no mistake, a republican presidency and congress means sending us back 50 years. I'm still appalled that the Stefanik voters have such selective memory and forget she has voted consistently AGAINST every bill that helps the constituents in this district....

“Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the making of action in spite of fear, the moving out against the resistance engendered by fear into the unknown and into the future.” M. Scott Peck

We can all be proud of each member of The Light Brigade for their Courage and Perseverance in shining their light ☀️ on Truth and Social Justice issues throughout all the past and current seasons of their brave service to our community.

You deserved a police escort back to your vehicles for your personal security…

and the bullies below might have warranted a breathalyzer test or drug tox screen from a different responding officer. Hope you all made it safely home 🙏

At the very least a parking ticket for blocking the entrance to a public parking lot.

Lies? Hypocrisy? Threats? Baseless anger? What a sad state the once proud Republican Party has sunk to.

thank you, Ken, for being there...and so many places "reporting" on the "news." The main message of Stefanik and Maga has been hate--against different groups, against immigrants, protestors, against Obama care and chip acts and Democrats, pointing their fingers at all who speak what is true, creating fear rather than hope in what is possible if we all worked together to try to create "a more perfect union." May we all come to our senses and to our hearts and save what is precious. thank you again, Ken
