Don Lemon Needs a Lesson in YOUR Rights (Courtesy of MLK on His Day)

Stephen Green-Commentary : Jan 19, 2026  PJ Media

Since it's Martin Luther King Jr. Day, let's wrap this up with a reminder of what it really looks like to peaceably assemble and to have righteousness on your side.

That's it. That's the whole thing. A mere 45 words long, the First protects fundamental individual rights—including, the way I read it, the right to be left alone by professional busybodies, whether they're in Congress or Don Lemon and his BLM buddies...
