@hbomax I get that the business decision to show commercials was made, but why be shady and break up a program when you could just as easily show all of the commercials up front.
Frustrating enough to cancel.
The American people, in every poll that asks, say overwhelmingly that they didn't want Trump/Biden again.
The RepubliCrat uniparty has responded by giving you Trump/Biden again.
You will now be told you have no other option besides Trump/Biden again.
They don't respect you, and they never will until you stop supporting the options they give you.
Meet the Hernandez family. That's Matt and Tuckey smiling with their beautiful young daughters.
Over the past few months, the Georgia state government has ripped this family apart, because one of their daughters has a medical condition that the court refuses to acknowledge.
This all started when Matt and Tuckey noticed some swelling in the lower legs of Emma, their infant daughter.
They took her to a pediatrician, who did some bloodwork and referred them to the ER. After an x-ray of her legs, the hospital's Child Abuse Physician reported possible child abuse, despite the fact that the bloodwork results indicate a genetic disorder as the reason for her injuries.
@GADFCS authorities seized Emma and placed her with her Aunt and Uncle.
Two weeks later, a case worker visited the Hernandez home and determined that their older daughter, Arya, is obviously happy and well cared for.
The next day, Tuckey was arrested for battery and cruelty to children.
Matt is not allowed to communicate with Tuckey, and Tuckey is not allowed to communicate with Matt or her daughters.
While in the Aunt and Uncle's care, Emma developed a rash on her feet.
The state took Emma from them and sent her to the hospital, where she was put on a feeding tube and given other treatments without any of the family's knowledge or consent.
Emma and Arya were then placed with a foster parent.
At their first visitation, Matt noted that both Emma and Arya had signs of neglect, including cold, mottled skin and discoloration on one of Emma's legs.
The foster parent dismissed his concerns, and DFCS had no interest in hearing them either.
After months of fighting to get copies of Emma's medical records, including from when he first took her to the ER, DFCS finally gave them to him.
Two months later at their first court hearing, medical experts testified that Emma has either neonatal rickets or osteogenesis imperfecta, both of which are medical disorders which cause the types of injuries she has, and that there is no sign of physical abuse.
The judge refused to admit their testimony, choosing instead to rely on the hospital's Child Abuse Physician, who brought no paperwork and did not appear to understand these disorders.
While this hearing is going on, Emma and Arya are transported to a visitation center to meet with Matt. But Matt's in court, and obviously couldn't be in two places at once. The state either messed up their visitation schedule, or intentionally scheduled it so he wouldn't be there. Arya was devastated.
With each visit, Matt sees Arya become more and more withdrawn and depressed, and Emma become more injured and sickly.
During one of the visits, when the case worker came into the room, Arya got scared and ran behind Matt. The caseworker accuses Arya of being racist, and smiles throughout the interaction, clearly enjoying the fear she's causing.
And just last week, Matt found out that his visitations are being cut in half, and they are moving Emma and Arya to a new foster family, instead of back to their Aunt and Uncle.
This case was brought to our attention by the Williams family, who was in temporary custody of Emma and Arya when their foster mother went on vacation. After seeing how much these girls want to go home, the Williams began to investigate, and discovered the horrific tragedy that the state is putting the Hernandez family through.
Despite their own policies, and despite the fact that the caseworker's report states that reunification is the goal of this case, the state of Georgia has refused to acknowledge Emma's medical condition, choosing instead to assume that she's being abused, and continues to prosecute Tuckey and persecute the entire family.
We hoped that these officials would do the right thing, but they seem to be hell-bent on destroying the Hernandez family.
We are going to reunite this family, and here's how you can help:
Email the officials I've listed in the next post in this thread, and tell them to acknowledge Emma's condition, return Emma and Arya to their parents, and drop all charges. And be RESPECTFUL, don't give these people a chance to act like the victims here. You know how much government officials love to make it about them, don't give them that opportunity.
And be sure to repost this, so as many people as possible can help us reunite the Hernandez family in time for the holidays.

You've seen this meme.
Now let me tell you about the man behind it.
Thomas Quiter was born with osteogenesis imperfecta. His parents were told that he wouldn't survive more than a matter of days. He is now 40.
The thing about osteogenesis imperfecta is it requires a very specific kind of wheelchair, one that typically costs as much as $65,000.
After being offered a chair by the NY state government that would have routinely injured him, Thomas found one for a fraction of the cost that would work for him, and crowdfunded to get it.
After years of being run around by the government, Thomas got it in less than 2 months, at no cost to taxpayers.
But Thomas realized that wheelchair costs were out of control, especially the ones that are designed for people with rare disorders. and he wanted to make sure that no one else in his position would go without.
And without a wheelchair, he knew they'd be unable to enjoy an independent life.
So Thomas started the Mobility Independence Foundation (@TheMIFinc), a nonprofit that creates and distributes open-source designs for wheelchairs and accessories, greatly reducing the cost and turnaround time for replacements and repairs.
He's also involved with the Liberty Memes Foundation, which raises funds to provide wheelchair vans for those in need.
With a wheelchair, and a van that's made to accommodate one, Thomas and many others with disabilities are able to be every bit as mobile and independent as an able-bodied person.
Thomas is a dear friend, and a great motivation to me and many others.
Thank you, Thomas.
A child born today in America already has over $100,000 in federal debt in their name.
If nothing changes from our current trajectory, when that child is old enough to vote, their "share" of that debt will be at least $300,000, possibly as high as $500,000.
And the cost of living will be anywhere from 2 to 3 times higher than it is now.
The average wage, meanwhile, will have only increased by about 70-80%.
And to pay off that debt, their taxes will have to be much higher than now, and the "services" they'll probably need to receive from government will fall even further short of meeting their needs than they do now.
They will own nothing. They will be entirely dependent on the same politicians, central bankers and corporate cronies who created this mess for them.
If nothing changes, things will be much worse for a child who is born today.
And for the next 18 years, they will have no ability to vote, or to effectively advocate, for that to change.
They can't stop their future from being worse.
But you can.
You can break the cycle that previous generations created.
You can demand that government stop spending money it doesn't have.
You can stop advocating for the ponzi schemes, corporate welfare, endless wars, and other policies that increase the debt.
You can explain to others who do, what kind of nightmare they're creating for the future, and encourage them to join you to make it better instead.
You can refuse to vote for anyone who adds a single penny to the debt.
You can invest in assets that act as a hedge against inflation, like precious metals and bitcoin, and engage in other practices that make it harder for government to extract money from you.
You can take a break from arguing with each other about personalities, identities and lifestyle choices, and realize that none of that matters if we can't afford to live.
And if enough of us do these things, government will have to stop the debt spending.
And when they stop the debt spending, the Fed no longer prints out new money to finance the debt.
And when new money isn't being printed, the value of your money remains stable.
And when that happens, the cost of living stabilizes.
And wages can catch up over time.
And that debt starts going down.
And that kid will have a brighter future than we have, instead of a darker one.
So the question is: are you willing to do what it takes?
