Not even Graceland is safe from the Left. What kind of sick person would vandalize the home of the King? Lock em up! And Elvis would have loved President Trump.
Not even Graceland is safe from the Left. Anything distinctly, proudly American is in the crossbars.
Elvis is puking in his grave.

Concerning the graffiti at Graceland, I’m absolutely horrified that those in our own city disgraced the walls surrounding Graceland. I’m saddened by acts like this and appalled by this behavior. We were able to clean all the graffiti off thanks to our dedicated crew.

Priscilla Presley Releases A Statement Concerning The Graffiti At Graceland: “Saddened By Acts Like This & Appalled By This Behavior”
By Freedom Times, September 6, 2020
Historic Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee, where the “King of Rock and Roll”, Elvis Presley’s estate is located, was vandalized with graffiti last Sunday, with vulgar phrases such as “BLM”, “abolish ICE”, “f**k Trump”, and “defund the police,” The Freedom Times previously reported.
The graffiti covered up many of the hundreds of tributes left to Elvis Presley from visitors from around the world, which were handwritten by fans on the wall outside of the Mansion at Graceland, over the years.
Memphis reporter for WMC Action News 5 tweeted out photographs of the damaged walls on Monday morning:

Priscilla Presley is the person largely responsible for turning Graceland — which Elvis Presley bought in 1957 and lived at until his death, at the age of 42, in 1977 — into the designated historic site and tourist destination it is today. When she was faced with needing to sell the estate due to upkeep costs, Presley worked to open the property to the public, which paid off in spades, Taste of Country reported.

Another historic Memphis landmark, the Levitt Shell stage, where Elvis Presley gave his first paid concert on July 30, 1954, an open-air amphitheater in Overton Park in Midtown- Memphis, was also defaced with similar messages in graffiti.
Repairs are estimated to cost around $150,000, Fox 13 reported.
Bill Stanley, Elvis’ stepbrother, says he’s appalled that someone would deface Elvis’ home. “This is totally uncalled for,” said Stanley. “One of the saddest days of my life. I mean, besides the day that Elvis passed away, this right here is right up next to it,” Memphis’ WMC Action News 5 reported.
WMC Actions News 5 also reported that Memphis police are conducting an investigation into the graffiti.
Graceland is centered on the life and career of Elvis and annually attracts about 600,000 visitors, including international travelers.

I’m sure in your simple mind you thought that was clever, but in reality, you’re a f*cking moron. One is free speech; the other is assault. Your post just proves you have a deep seated hatred for free speech. You either support free speech for views you detest, or you don’t support it at all.

A dumber jackass than you has never lived.
If you think BLM is “free speech,” you are beyond hope, and even dumber than the savages that make up BLM.
I’m sure you think Tiananmen Square was the Chinese exercising free speech, too.
Garbage like you is why our country is becoming filled with sewerage.

You give the little PRETEND engineer FAR too much credit. First off, she is not a moron, as she is not nearly intelligent to be one.
At first, I thought that she might be an imbecile. However, after a year of seeing that thing’s drivel, I am of the considered opinion that she is an idiot. A blithering idiot at that.

I can make the first one, or two, comments … then back to lockout. I can always reply to someone, through Disqus.
However, to post comments, freely, I’m still in the Disqus/Geller jail.

That’s a great question. I got banned on Breitbart. Maybe start by asking them.

It doesn’t take much to be banned from Breitbart. However, I believe that the PRETEND engineer did NOT get banned. She just likes to throw hissy fits and lie about why she’s throwing them.

Because I’m not. You certainly promote people who burn the flag and hide behind that ‘free speech’ garbage. Why dont you try to burn a flag in front of a veterans organization of your choice. Go ahead.

Sorry but they don’t believe in working. You need to work and support them. Stealing is fine too because that is justified as “reparations”. If they encounter you on the street, don’t be surprised if they gruffly greet you with, “gimme your shiiiiiit” or else. In person shake downs seem to be their latest demand.

The gun-type nuke, aka, ‘Little Boy’ [Hiroshima]. So easy to build, the Manhattan Project didn’t bother testing it, they just dropped it as-is. Iran could deliver this device to the UAE just with an old ship, across the straights of Hormuz. Meanwhile, BLM paints walls.

Would Iran use it on the UAE? Or Israel? Or maybe hand it off to Hezbollah? Or Hamas? After allah, a nuke would be the ultimate suicide bomb.

Just with a THREAT to use it on the UAE, Iran would gain control of Hormuz, and become the global gatekeeper for oil.

Bill the DNC for it. It is their base doing this. They don’t care who or what they destroy. For them this is a revolution. All remnants of the past must be obliterated and replaced with communists and thugs.

To do this to Graceland BLM has sent a message they can do anything they want anytime they want. Screw the politicians, these George Soros rent-a-mobs must be stopped anyway possible

BLM is a group of anarchist ignoramuses whose star is already on the wane. They have no plans, no goals, no ideas and no intelligence. They’re thugs who are going to get their asses whupped in due course.

Pamela, I grew up in Memphis….my Dad was a Formica installer, owned his own business. He put in all the Formica in that mansion….Priscilla was just a baby when they had him put in Formica for her dressing and bathing room.
And we lived across the street from Johnny Cash when he was trying to break into the music business. He and his first wife used to come over on some evenings and play cards with my parents.
That is before he became the MAN IN BLACK. LOL.
I recently returned to my home state due to family issues. It saddens me to see that his mansion was vandalized and how downtown Memphis – a once great city – has experience marching, looting, etc. Memphis is predominately Black now.
“They” are slowly dissolving our history….one “memory” at a time.
