Biden Admin Denies Parking Permit for Bikes in 3-Decade-Straight Veterans Motorcycle Ride on Washington, DC By C. Douglas Golden Published May 2, 2021 at 10:19am

For 34 years, motorcycle-riding veterans and the supporters have flocked to Washington, D.C., on Memorial Day weekend for a ride to remember American prisoners of war and those missing in action. For 32 of those years, they’ve used the Pentagon’s parking lot as a staging point.

This year, President Joe Biden’s Department of Defense might finally put an end to that.

According to WJLA-TV in Washington, the Pentagon announced Friday that it’ll refuse to allow AMVETS — the veterans group that stages the event now called Rolling to Remember — to use its parking as a staging point. The Pentagon cited coronavirus pandemic concerns as its reason.

“A gentleman at the Pentagon told me that after careful consideration, our permit application was denied,” AMVETS Executive Director Joe Chenelly told WJLA on Friday.

“He said considerations involved the continued spread of COVID-19 in the region and the nature of our event, being that we are proposing a large gathering for an extended period of time.

I suspect most will still show up. Peaceful assembly right?

But, The Party fears normal Americans showing up at Camp Pelosi.

Very embarrassing.

It doesn’t have anything to do with the number of Trump 2024 MAGA flags that would show up?

Corona virus is a BS reason.

The real reason is because secdef lloyd autism hates this country, hates the military, and hates veterans.

Stage up for the ride in the Parking lots of some local Big Box stores. Do not cancel the ride because the Leftists won’t let you gather at the Pentagon.

Sad day it is that the military members I know are now afraid to express the fact that they know that they are led by folks who should more properly be in front of their guns, not behind them.

The rotten, filthy Democrats hate the military and veterans, and use COVID as their phony excuse. Yet Biden allows and encourages thousands of illegal aliens , many COVID positive to cross our border and infest Americans in U.S. cities.

“secdef lloyd autism hates this country, hates the military, and hates veterans.”

As a vet, that’s what I’m looking for. A SecDef who hates the USA, the military and who hates veterans. Un-frickin-believable.

What a joke this nation has become.

"... hates this country, hates the military, and hates veterans..."

Remarkable. All true. The Secretary of Defense.

Of course, Leftism trumps all.

Rolling Thunder needs to evolve.

Make it a legit protest. Demand time with elected leaders. Park in front of their homes and rev engines at midnight.
