Quote O’ The Day
That the leftist echo chamber in unison is doing everything it can to discredit the movie, the actor, the man who started the group by rescuing children and the group that rescues children should tell you something. They are over the target and laying down truth bombs right and left. The sound of leftist heads exploding…it’s a beautiful thing.

THE SOUND OF LEFTIST HEADS EXPLODING
One week ago a girlfriend, Christie and I went to go see the movie “The Sound of Freedom”. It really was quite an amazing movie. The story centers on two little children from Honduras, and how they came to be in the clutches of sex traffickers and their rescuer, Tim Ballard, a former Homeland Security officer. This was a long time ago, back when the government fought crime. Tim is now the person behind “Operation Underground Railroad” The movie covers Tim’s change in life mission, from taking down pedophiles to finding the children exploited by them.
A noble movie, right? I mean it’s true, not all of it, there were some creative liberties taken, and some characters were blurred, but many of the main ones are very much real and the names given to them in the movie are close enough that if you know them, you’d know who the were. O.U.R. really is rescuing children and I guess you could call it their mission statement is “G-d’s children are not for sale”.
What has been baffling is the media response to this! Shocking really. I mean how many times have we heard from the left that the latest gun control measure meant to take rights away from law abiding citizens, many of them parents, is “for the children”. I’m still not clear on how limiting parents ability to defend their children is to the benefit of the children but I’m not a brain rotted leftist, so there ya go.
‘Sound Of Freedom’ Is a Superhero Movie for Dads With Brainworms
The QAnon-tinged thriller about child-trafficking is designed to appeal to the conscience of a conspiracy-addled boomer….
Caviezel, best known for being tortured to death in Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ, has become a prominent figure on the conspiracist right, giving speeches and interviews in which he hints at an underground holy war between patriots and a sinister legion of evildoers who are harvesting the blood of children. It’s straight-up QAnon stuff, right down to his use of catchphrases like “The storm is upon us.”
This is a special kind of hatred for a movie trying to raise awareness about children. And it’s far from the only one like that. The left’s typical response is attack the message and the messenger.
Tim Ballard, Inspiration Behind ‘Sound of Freedom,’ Quietly Leaves Anti-Trafficking Group
Since The Sound of Freedom was released in theaters last week, the inspiration for the film, Tim Ballard, the CEO of the anti-trafficking organization Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.), has been getting quite a bit of attention — and not all of it has been positive. The film, which has grossed nearly $50 million, has been subject to criticism from anti-trafficking experts, many of whom claim it is an inaccurate depiction of child trafficking and that the tactics espoused in the film may actually put trafficked kids in danger. Others have focused on Operation Underground Railroad and Ballard himself, particularly his tendency to self-mythologize and embellish his exploits and his more recent pivot toward conspiracy theories.
He’s now the CEO of the Nazarene Fund, O.U.R.’s sister organization which serves Christians and other religious minorities fleeing persecution in the Middle East. This is not exactly abandoning the organization.
Lots of the are like that. As he is now famous, I wonder if they left has considered his chances of being successful at undercover operations now? Probably not, their goal is to attack.
Why ‘Sound of Freedom,’ Jim Caviezel’s controversial child sex trafficking film, is a hit
Some are even more astonishing. They claim raising awareness of child trafficking is harming efforts to fight child trafficking. And this is far from the only article. Controversial? Really?
Why Anti-Trafficking Experts Are Torching ‘Sound of Freedom’
“I’ve literally been on four different group texts about the damn movie,” says Erin Albright, an attorney who has worked in the anti-trafficking space for 15 years, including as a former fellow for the Department of Justice’s anti-trafficking task force. Albright says Sound of Freedom is “grounded in this sensational perspective of what child trafficking would be,” rather than reflecting its grim reality...
Yet from the movie’s opening montage, which shows surveillance footage of children being snatched by strangers off the streets, Sound of Freedom offers a “false perception” of how the majority of child trafficking actually takes place, according to Albright.
Soooo I guess I could have reached out to Adam Walsh for comment, but he’s dead. That’s not what I took from the montage at all. While Adam was never trafficked, children are absolutely taken from stores, from in front of their homes. But the left is correct in that I’m sure the majority of children being trafficked today is being facilitated by the left, the Biden crime regime and financed by U.S. taxpayers.
Gone are the days when children might have been separated from the adults that brought them across the border and DNA tests done to be sure that the adult really was kin folk. No today kids come across the border with a name and number pinned to their shirt, border patrol calls the number tells them their moneymaker is here and we pay to ship them to the receiving party. The cartels don’t even have to pay shipping. Cheaper than Amazon prime because the cartels don’t even have to pay membership unless you count 10% for the “big guy”. I guess that would be “Biden Prime”.
JJ Carrell is a retired Deputy Patrol Agent in Charge in the United States Border Patrol. I think the people that have done the job and are speaking out about the movie probably should be given more attention than some random Rolling Stone writer. JJ did a column recently on The Sound of Freedom.
Our government’s intentional and strategic decision to leave our borders wide open has created a tsunami of illegal immigration into America. Millions of individuals are pouring into our nation, and this is not happening in a vacuum. The tenacles of this monster reach beyond the border creating chaos and destruction where it travels. One of the tenacles is the abhorrent practice of child sex trafficking. This is an ugly and uncomfortable topic to discuss because it is so ugly and evil.….
Our government has arrested hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied minors and then released them to individuals who we never vetted. Health and Human Services (HHS) has admitted to “losing” over 85,000 children (about the seating capacity of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum). HERE That number has increased to well over 100,000 children and is growing daily. Stop and think about the magnitude of “losing” 85,000 children and having absolutely no idea where they are and no idea to who they were given to.
Republican senators want feds to explain losing 85,000 migrant kids
A pair of Republican senators are demanding that federal officials account for how they reportedly lost track of 85,000 migrant children over the past two years.
The clamor from Sens. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) comes on the heels of a February New York Times report that the Department of Health and Human Services had been unable to contact thousands of unaccompanied minors who were placed with sponsors after crossing the border — raising fears that they have been trafficked for cheap labor.….
Roughly 340,000 unaccompanied children have shown up at the United States border since 2021, according to US Customs and Border Protection.
Cheap labor, and that’s if they’re lucky I’m guessing.
Another reality is that is far from the only way the government gets children into the child trafficking mill.
I recently got an email from a girl friend of mine, I told her a girl friend and I had gone to see The Sound of Freedom so she thought I’d be interested in some stats from just her state, just Missouri. She had gotten a email from a website called Jodi Grace
This is just in the state of Missouri.
Federal watchdog’s report sheds new light on scope of Missouri’s missing foster kids
There were 1,780 instances of foster kids going missing in Missouri over a two-and-a-half year period
Pretty bad isn’t it? But wait, there’s more.
Federal watchdog finds Missouri failed to adequately report, protect missing foster kids
In 2019, 978 children were missing at some point from Missouri foster care, according to the report
A federal watchdog found that Missouri failed to sufficiently reduce children’s risk of going missing from the foster care system and frequently failed to notify local and federal authorities they were missing.
That’s in 2019 alone. One year.
But for the left it’s not enough to take children from parents who have may actually have problems, no in California they now plan to take children if their parents won’t allow the confused child to take hormone blockers with unknown long term side effects or have life altering as well as body altering surgeries. I would call it child mutilation, the left calls it “gender affirming”. The left has a real problem with words. It’s denying the sex the child was born and they call it “affirming”. They aren’t affirming, they are denying and mutilating.
Conservative outlet The Daily Signal reported that the warning followed a Democratic senator’s recent amendment to identify “gender affirmation” among children’s needs for “health, safety and welfare.” If parents refuse to affirm their child’s preferred gender, they could face child abuse charges and lose custody disputes.
I found this part (same article) pretty interesting.
After some listeners applauded his remark, Wilk added that he himself plans to not stay in the state once he leaves the legislature.
“I was born and raised in this state. I love this state, but I’m not going to stay in this state. It’s just too oppressive and I believe in freedom and so I’m going to move to America when I leave the legislature,” he said.
Critics of the bill say its ambiguous language could mean that parents get slapped with false allegations.
The California Governor could be ‘done’ if he signs new trans bill
“This isn’t like ‘oh trans people should get care’, right, they call it gender-affirming care,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray.
Ms Kelly said this is the California lawmakers saying if the parents don’t affirm their child’s gender confusion, they could be labelled a “child abuser”.
I think SkyNews is over optimistic here, it’s California nothing will happen to Newscum.
But there is another aspect to this “gender affirming” issue, I’ve heard more than one person point out that if a 8 year old can make the decision to change his sex, then eventually it will be the 8 year old is old enough to decide to have sex with an adult and presto change-o no more trafficking, just consensual sex between two willing parties.
This is a special kind of evil, beyond anything I’ve ever seen in our country before. That the leftist echo chamber in unison is doing everything it can to discredit the movie, the actor, the man who started the group by rescuing children and the group that rescues children should tell you something. They are over the target and laying down truth bombs right and left. The sound of leftist heads exploding…it’s a beautiful thing.
Charlie Daniels has solutions though. I do love me some Charlie.
