My husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare sacral chordoma. The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful. He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting. Now recovery begins. We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full. ❤️

Let me categorically Debunk this utter rot. @sainsburys.

I am a poultry Breeder. The hens that lay white eggs (Amberline/White Star) DO NOT have a lower carbon footprint.

Yes they eat a bit less and produce roughly the same amount of eggs as the Brown egg layers (Bovan/Lowman/ISA Brown) but they live shorter lives, are prone to dying suddenly when startled, a flighty and nervous and because they live shorter productive lives (12 -18mnths) vs brown 18/24mnths (both commercial farmed), you have to incubate more which is increased (Electricity/gas costs) and their eggs are not the same quality.

I breed and keep 20+ different breeds, including: ISA Brown hens and White Stars. All my hens are 100% free range, Not a single barn kept bird, I have ISA browns that are 5yrs old and still laying beautiful Brown eggs, I have not seen a White star live beyond 3yrs and certainly none have laid eggs past 18-24mnths.
White stars Lay themselves to death. They are slender birds and because they dont eat a lot, it drains their personal vitality to keep up laying the eggs you want to sell because of the nonsensical lie that they are "More Carbon Neutral"

You want to know about eggs, come talk to someone like me, Don't rely on some hairbrained imagination of a buyer who's trying to squeeze the profit margin for a few extra pennies at our expense and to the poor hens detriment.

It’s wild to me that the American First and Only crowd is just fine with all of their thought leaders not only pushing propaganda from our foreign enemies like Russia, China, and Iran, but they are also fine with them openly visiting places like Russia with full support of the Russian Federation.

Seems not very America First and Only…

You guys realize that the US State Department has a Level 4: Do Not Travel advisory on Russia for US citizens, right?

That is the highest level there is.

Normal Americans aren’t just traveling to Russia for vacation. The state would likely detain them if they did, because they are a hostile nation.

Yet Candace Owens and Andrew Tate both go, which means they went with the explicit approval of the Russian Federation, and none of their followers bat an eye about it…

I don’t need you guys to be rocket scientists, but I need you to have just an ounce of critical thinking ability.

This is so clearly an op that it is embarrassing for those who do not see it.

Bro, this is actually disgusting.

A naturalized Japanese guy who works as an assistant professor at Miyazaki International University climbed on top of a war memorial dedicated to Japanese soldiers who died for their country, and started chanting the Islamic call to prayer.

This is the same guy who was previously caught doing the exact same thing at a Shinto shrine.

He’s not some random tourist. He’s a Japanese citizen now, and he’s teaching at a university. And he’s out here stepping on memorials for war dead while loudly declaring “Allahu Akbar.”

This isn’t “freedom of religion.” This is straight-up disrespect and provocation.

Japan took him in, gave him citizenship, and let him work here. And this is how he repays it?

If someone did this to Islamic sites in a Muslim country, you already know how that would end. But in Japan, we’re supposed to just tolerate it?

This is why more and more people are saying enough is enough.

Good news out of Arkansas. Aaron Spencer, the man who saved his daughter from rapist who took her from her bedroom when he found the man with his daughter on the highway shot and shot him has had his murder charges dismissed. Story in the first comment.

“I am on my way to the school with a revolver and a machete and I’m going to shoot and stab all of your girls. You terfs are going to learn to stop mocking, deadnaming and misgendering transwomen like me.”
The obfuscation by media to hide this man’s trans identity is an huge part of the problem.

@gregbagwell An alleged Brit living in Spain lecturing Americans about the First Amendment. How adorable...

[Cynical Publius @CynicalPublius]

Often times when people say something it becomes illuminating in ways the speaker never imagined or intended.

Such is the case here with the peculiar use of the word "subjugation."

We do not "subjugate" our media. We simply correct them when they lie. That is our God-given right.

You see, here in the USA, there is no "approved thought." We don't get arrested for wrongthink or wrongspeak. Our media is not like the BBC and run by the government.

We are a free people who speak freely, and each citizen has the exact same free speech rights as the legacy media.

We are not subjects like you.

We are a free people.

Learn from it, before it's too late for your failing nation.

🇩🇪 Nikita Miller, a German comedian, was nearly killed by a migrant who attacked him inside Bremen Central Station.

His attacker was released on the same night as the attack.

Nikita later explained that the court stated that the migrant “no longer posed any danger.”

What’s more, the charge was reduced to bodily harm instead of attempted murder, which Nikita said was because the court argued that the migrant had stopped the assault before killing him.

Nikita told the court he only survived the attack because he fought back, and that the migrant only stopped once the blade broke off.

During the attack, Nikita suffered five serious stab wounds, including a 15 cm wound to his head.

He later told the German news outlet Express that the suspect was granted German citizenship despite the attack.

The comedian has since moved to Norway, saying that if anything were to happen to his wife or family, he would not want to deal with the German criminal justice system again.

“I won’t survive it a second time,” he said.

"Scientists": We think it's fine to unleash a bioweapon on the population because of our politics

People: ::people respond angrily and with venom::

"Scientists": Oh noes, teh backlash

Me: A real backlash would involve ropes, stakes, honey, and an anthill. Keep going like this and see how long it takes to get there.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

EXCLUSIVE: Woman on @Nextdoor app CENSORED and SUSPENDED for sharing right-leaning opinions on the platform.

Nextdoors woke polices encourage people to discuss "racial justice and anti-racism" and BLM, while banning anyone from saying phrases like "All Lives Matter" or "White Lives Matter.”

Missy had multiple posts of hers removed, including one where she says, "We could use more Jesus in the neighborhood." Nextdoor said the post was "insulting" and "bullying."

She was then temporarily suspended for a post supporting local candidates that aligned with her values. The reason? Because Nextdoor deemed discussions on local candidates she likes as a "non-local topic."

Yet posts supporting Democrat endorsed candidates are allowed.

Nextdoor is targeting conservatives on its platform while allowing leftists to run wild.

[Zeek Arkham 🇺🇸 @ZeekArkham]

I believe all lives matter. However…

What was done to Iryna Zarutska was beyond heartbreaking. Afterwards, the savage who stabbed her said “I got that white bitch.” Also, while she was bleeding out, the people around her did nothing.

What was done to Henry Nowak was legitimate injustice. The cops were way more afraid to be seen as racist than they were to enforce the law.

Besides, wearing this shirt would piss off the right people, so I think it’s funny.

Reason I don’t wear a Black Lives Matter shirt is because no one wearing that shirt would give a rat’s ass if my black conservatarian ass died. Speaks to a larger problem than just “black lives.”

06-04 is Killdozer day.
“Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things.”

Marvin Heemeyer, a USAF veteran, bought the land in 1992 and built a shop.
The town annexes the area where his land is.
Typically, along with annexation, city utilities such as sewage lines are extended.

It didn't, and Heemeyer was asked to instead build out the sewage pipeline himself, which would have cost him over 80k USD. A cheaper septic tank option was also available, but he refused both options and was fined $2500 in 2001. He paid the check with “Cowards” written on it.

The concrete plant rezoning happened where the Docheff family wanted to build a concrete batch plant next door to Heemeyer's shop. Heemeyer did not want to sell his land.

After the town rezoned the land in 2001, the concrete plant went up, and the noise, dust, and traffic ruined his business. The only access road was also blocked.

Heemeyer asked permission to build an additional road to his shop for easier access, which was easy to do because he had a bulldozer and was going to do it himself. The City denied him.

Appeals, lawsuits... everything got rejected, and intrusive elements ended up built around his shop, practically encircling it.

With his back against the wall and no option left, he secretly started building an armored plating cover for the bulldozer. Audio tapes, recordings, and documentation were all curated and sent to his brother before he started his rampage.

In the 2-hour rampage, he didn't hurt anyone.
He destroyed 13 buildings, all connected to those who wronged him, including the town hall. After it was done, he took his own life inside the killdozer and became a legend.

All the evidence then came out, implicating the city for the insane bureaucracy that drove a reasonable person to do unreasonable things.

It all started because the government's land-use power allowed a bigger player to develop right next door, destroying his life.
Property should mean something, and when zoning is rigged against the little guy, it is exactly the kind of 12 year slow-motion injustice that turned a reasonable welder into the Killdozer guy.

The story inspired movies like Leviathan (2014), and documentaries like Tread, along with multiple songs.

RIP Marvin Heemeyer

Ten years ago today was the last time I’d celebrate my husband’s birthday with him. 
Neither of us knew that 46 days later, I’d be racing him to the ER where the doctors would hand us a terminal diagnosis. 
My husband. My protector. My confidant. My biggest supporter. My best friend. 
He was ruggedly handsome. He made me laugh. 
I was blessed to spend 22 years loving and being loved by that gentle, strong, wonderful man. 
Our life together and the lessons I learned on our 93 day journey to his death that October became the inspiration for my book, “Who Will Kiss Me Goodnight?” that was published two years ago. It’s my tribute to him. 
A decade later, I still treasure his memory.

This is justice in a blue state (New York).

State Trooper Christopher Baldner pulls over a family SUV for speeding on the Thruway.

Driver Tristin Goods refuses to show ID and escalates the stop. Trooper uses pepper spray.

Driver floors it and flees at high speed.
Trooper follows training and uses pit maneuver to ram the vehicle and stop the threat.

The SUV crashes. Goods’ own 11-year-old daughter Monica is tragically killed.

Result?

Trooper Baldner was just sentenced to ~7 years in prison for manslaughter.

The father - who caused the deadly chase - walks free after claiming he was “scared for his life.”

Doom and Age of Empires creator Sandy Petersen blasts Amazon over their handling of Stargate:

"1) get handed a massively popular IP that spans 17 years of successful shows."

"2) realize it has millions of loyal fans, desperate for more. They are now in their 40s and 50s, flush with money. Eager to teach their kids & grandkids about Stargate."

"3) you could start with this. You are already three steps up the ladder to huge success. The fans will evangelize it, if you don't wreck the IP. Don't believe it? Look how the fans evangelized Battlestar Galactica after its 30 year hiatus. And the initial Dr Who reboot after 15 years."

"4) cancel the project because you want a "new take" that will eliminate all the loyal fans and turn them into bitter enemies."

"It's like an ancient Greek play about hubris."

Why are corporate execs like this?
