Send In The Marine

Wilson County, Tennessee, has an election coming up August 4, as does the rest of the state. Of particular note is the school board election for District 4. More on that in a moment. 

Recently, the Tennessee legislature passed a law that requires candidates to affiliate with a party or declare as an independent. In order to run as a Republican, for example, a candidate must have voted in the GOP primary in three of the last four elections. Not so hard for someone like me. Much more difficult for wolves in sheep's clothing on the county commission and school board in Wilson County. 

As a possible result, an unprecedented number of county commissioners and school board members in Wilson County chose not to run for reelection. 

Back during the scamdemic, a handful of parents in Wilson county actively fought back against the presumably Leftist school board and their draconian mask mandates and attempts at mandating the jabbb. Among the loudest warriors was the Marine, Joseph Padilla. His outspokenness got his primary Facebook profile banned (sounds just like a Rifleman). Like so many others on the Right, he was forced to create a new profile with a code name. 

Not being one to just voice concerns, Padilla decided to run for office. The outgoing school board member chose not to run for reelection. Perhaps she knew she couldn't qualify to run as a Republican? It matters in a county that consistently votes 70% Republican. Padilla easily qualified and won his primary handily against a variety of competition; which included at least one other quality candidate and also a Liberal plant. 

As the Liberal plant failed, the Leftist wine-moms regrouped and found a candidate to run as an "independent." This candidate has a resume steeped in education. Retired from Metro Nashville schools. The works. 

Here is where things get interesting. There is a Leftist wine-mom gang of no more than 25-30 individuals on Facebook who are very loud and nasty. They meet in secret forums and descend upon pages and people and attack en masse against their opposition. They have among them a couple of nasty women who self-identify as "Conservative" or "Republican." Of course, if they are Republican, they are the Mitt Romney / John McCain type. 

This gang has been attacking Padilla for the better part of two-plus years. 

Now, suddenly, they all endorse Padilla's opponent in the general election. They make false allegations about Padilla and questionable claims about his opponent, trying to sell the opponent to the very Republican-leaning county. Here are some of the claims:

Padilla didn't answer questions. 

Fact is, he most certainly did answer the questions in the questionnaire. You just didn't like his answers. 

Padilla used a phony name on Facebook. 

Yes, he did. When conservative voices are deleted, they must use the platforms that way. This author does the same. This is not a hit against Padilla, this is a knock against Leftist Fascist Facebook. 

Padilla's opponent has much more experience as an educator. 

This is not a positive thing! The educational system is broken. It was not broken by Republicans. It was broken by the Left and by those in the system. Logic dictates that someone FROM this system is far more likely to keep things as they are instead of fixing them!

Padilla doesn't have a child in Wilson County Schools

That's right! He was forced to pull his child out when the system failed his child. What better person to represent on the school board!?!

Padilla's opponent is "conservative" / "Republican"

Really? Why didn't she run as a Republican? 

Furthermore, why are you - a Leftist wine mom - endorsing her? You never endorse conservatives.

If she really was a conservative, the Leftist Wine Moms would be pouting that they have no choice in this election.  

Padilla's opponent is running as an Independent candidate because she believes school board members need to be focused on making decisions based on community needs without the undue influence of political party expectations.

That's a lot of words to say she wouldn't qualify as a Republican. 

Padilla is an anti-mask, anti-vaxxer.

Damn straight! 

To sum up, Proverbs 13:20 states: "He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed." A common modern-English translation / similitude is "a man is known by the company that he keeps." 

Padilla is this author's type of person. Padilla shares the same opinion as this author on the things that matter most. 

Padilla's opponent (notice she was not named in this writing) is adored by Leftists. Also, her campaign Facebook page only follows two other candidates for office: one Leftist County Commissioner running for reelection (as an "Independent" of course!) and a Far Leftwing candidate for school board in another district (also running as an "Independent") - one whose Facebook page demonstrates he likes BLM and voted for Biden!

Proof: 

If you live in this district, you should strongly consider the better candidate - Joe Padilla.
