Retired, resister, Democrat, lives in a blue state, old as dirt, still got my marbles and intend to use them, we will not go quietly into the night. #resist, #LGBT, #bluenomatterwho, #democracydieswithsilence

The cyclospora outbreak has reached 13,895 cases across 47 states. The FDA has recalled 1.6 million eggs due to salmonella contamination. Screwworm cases continue to rise. And we’ve just surpassed 2,500 measles cases — breaking 2025’s record. “Make America Healthy Again.”

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” ― George Orwell, 1984 This was supposed to be a recrimination of Germany and the rise of Nazism, or so Orwell thought. Now, it is a playbook of extremist America. Shameful.

There were institutions in Germany that could have stopped Hitler—the police, the military, the industrialists, the Reichstag, the courts—but they didn’t Now you know how it happened, unreeling in real time

Plus also make an incredibly expensive change to Aircraft take off equipment that originally was out dated for the current equipment! Trump is getting more and more out of control and Congress is doing nothing to even find out why all this is happening?

The guy who did such an incredible job with the Reflecting Pool, Ballroom, Kennedy Center, National Mall, and Great American Fair is going to redesign our warships. What could go wrong?

They sued to save a building. He responded by revealing the bunker, the drone port, the missile-resistant walls…in a court filing. Then…called THEM traitors for the leak. He’d already bragged about the drone port in May. Out loud. This orange clown is as sharp as the cutting edge of a tennis ball.

They held Dr. Fauci in contempt for pleading the Fifth. Then asked him to come back and do it again. In short, he’s told them to stick it in their ass. He’s not coming. Now they’re shocked. Somebody get these men a pocket Constitution. LARGE print.

"In today's society, you know, everybody's filming everything, everybody has a cell phone," Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But "the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars."But local police across the country are still eagerly buying the gloves—in large part so that they can harm people and avoid being sued for it. It's been successful "from the patrolmen to the jailers," Lumpkin County Sheriff Stacy Jarrard said in a Compliant Technologies promotional video. "It's been a great tool as far as mitigating liability," according to Nelson County Jailer Justin Hall.
Bob Couey of the Floyd County Sheriff's Department sung the GLOVE's praises, too: "I highly recommend these gloves to anybody that's looking for a utility they can use that is conducive to not leading to lawsuits."
