An Alabama public library reversed its decision to cancel a Moms for Liberty book reading event featuring actor Kirk Cameron and women’s sports advocate Riley Gaines. It will now allow it to take place on Saturday. 

The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library System announced Wednesday that the Madison Public Library could no longer hold the event after the scope of attendees quickly grew from approximately 30 to 300, citing concerns about security and capacity. After backlash and a letter from law firm First Liberty Institute, the library system reverted back to allowing the event, Fox News reported.

“I’m happy to announce that Madison Public Library has reversed course and are now rightfully inviting us to come host the story hour for the community in Huntsville,” said Brave Books CEO Trent Talbot. 

“We must stand our ground and fight for our public institutions,” he added. “The foe we fail to meet at the gate in our own generation is the foe we let into the city for the next.”

The event, held by publishing company Brave Books, is part of a “See You at the Library” national tour in nearly 300 libraries in 45 states. After Cameron announced on social media that he would attend, protesters threatened to crash the event. 

As more people began expressing interest in attending, the library asked if the organizers needed additional space to accommodate a larger crowd. They initially declined, suggesting holding the event outside. However, after local law enforcement confirmed threats of protests from a group out of Birmingham, they were advised to move the event to a private location. But the organization stayed firm on its position to hold the event in the public space.

Brave Books immediately challenged the decision to cancel the event, and law firm First Liberty Institute sent a letter to the library system, stating it was “prepared to vindicate this violation of our client’s civil rights in court,” Fox News reported. Moms for Liberty organizers Emily Jones and Elizabeth Stewart previously told The Daily Wire they disagreed with how the library system and the Madison City Police Department wanted to address the safety concerns.

“It was a directive on how to manage our group and not the protesters,” Jones, the organization’s Madison County chapter chair, said. “To me, that just indicates that [the police chief] is not interested in making this event go well. He wants it to go away.”

The event, led by Cameron, star of the 1980s sitcom “Growing Pains,” seeks to allow conservative Christian families to meet at public libraries around the country as an alternative to the controversial drag queen story hours targeting children.

Cameron and Gaines were not originally scheduled to appear at the Madison County event, but Jones said she received a separate email earlier this week stating that the two national conservative celebrities planned to attend.

“I freaked out on Elizabeth and shouted and kind of did a happy dance,” she said.

The organization and Cameron shared the news on social media, drawing more attention to the event.

“The response was overwhelming,” Jones said.

In the wake of damning testimony linking president and venal houseplant Joe Biden to a multi-million dollar influence peddling scheme, the Justice Department has indicted Donald Trump again. The day after Devon Archer told congress that Joe Biden personally helped his son Hunter bilk millions of dollars from businesses and hostile foreign nations, Federal Prosecutor Jack Smith charged Trump with three counts of saying stuff.

The DOJ’s rapid fire response to Archer’s testimony implicating the president in his son’s sleazy pay-to-play schemes confirmed Jack Smith’s commitment to seeking justice against Trump without delay. For instance, on June 8th, the day after Congress released evidence that Joe Biden had taken bribes from a Ukrainian oligarch, Smith immediately indicted Trump for keeping classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. On July 27th, the day after Hunter Biden’s crooked sweetheart deal fell apart in open court, Smith piled some more charges onto the indictment. Smith swears that he will continue to act swiftly to bring Trump to justice whenever the Bidens are exposed doing anything illegal.

The new indictments center around prosecutor Smith’s complex legal theory that “he ain’t got no badges, but he don’t need no badges, because he don’t got to show you no stinking badges.” Speaking to a reporter from NBC news, while the reporter lay on his back and Smith scratched his tummy, Smith explained he’d indicted Trump because Trump claimed he had “actually won” the 2020 election and that “These claims were false.”

Thus according to this complex legal theory, a statement made by a politician that Jack Smith believes is false is not covered by the First Amendment’s guarantee of Free Speech. To give an example, if a politician were to say, “Jack Smith is a corrupt dirtbag who’s willing to tear up the Constitution to get at his political enemies,” that politician could be indicted because Jack Smith is a corrupt dirtbag who’s willing to tear up the Constitution to get at his political enemies. So, okay, maybe that’s not such a good example. But you get the idea. I think at this point, we all get the idea.

News outlets across the media political spectrum, from the Left all the way to the far-Left, reacted to the news of Joe Biden’s widespread corruption by breaking off their coverage of women’s soccer to announce the Trump indictments. On Knucklehead Row, the op-ed page of the New York Times, a former newspaper, editor-in-chief Blithering Prevarication the Third wrote, “The prosecution of Donald Trump for saying things may sound unconstitutional but I don’t care because Trump is a doody-head and I hate, hate, hate him so, so much and he has cooties and smells like poo.”

On ABC News, anchorman David Muir was in the midst of explaining that Devon Archer’s damning testimony about Joe Biden’s corruption was nothing serious at all, when news of the Trump indictment broke, causing Muir to breathe a sigh of relief, and say, “Thank heavens I can change the subject because for a minute there I was beginning to sound like a lying sack of crap.”

More Trump indictments could be on the way after Project Veritas verified Ashley Biden’s diary, in which the president’s daughter expressed her fear of taking showers in her youth because her father liked to join her — behavior so disgusting that Trump could be charged with pedophilia.

In fact, Republican voters are now beginning to worry that Joe Biden is such a walking cesspit of moral depravity, Trump will have to spend most of his campaign funds on legal fees.

On the other side of the aisle, Democrats continue to claim that Republican investigations into Joe Biden’s lifelong history of rank corruption are nothing more than a witch hunt if by a witch you mean Joe Biden’s lifelong history of rank corruption. New York Congressman Daniel Goldman, a man so dishonest we can’t be totally sure he’s really from New York or a congressman or named Daniel Goldman, said, “Republicans investigating the Biden family’s influence peddling are merely attempting to distract the public from oh look, there’s a Trump indictment and also a squirrel.” Fact Checkers later found the alleged congressman allegedly named Daniel Goldman lied about the Republicans and Biden’s corruption and there was no squirrel.
