Thomas Hickey was the first American military member to be executed for treason on this day, 1776. Washington ordered that all men not on duty be present at Hickey’s execution as a warning to all, with a crowd of 20,000 spectators in attendance.
just had an amazon driver call me and say “open door” because he was at the gate
told him to leave the package at the gate and he said “no English”
millions have to go - by plane by train by automobile by trebuchet I do not care they all have to go
Buttigieg is lying. I deal with these kinds of cases all the time. CPS does NOT separate you from your kids over an anonymous, unsubstantiated accusation. Something serious was reported and there was corroboration for it to have gotten this far. Do not let him pretend at being the victim here, something serious is happening and he is trying to frame it as politics.
⚠️A cautionary tale: ⚠️
At 10 PM last night my wife and female friend were out in a posh local village and the friend had her drink spiked. It took less than 5 mins to work.
Resulted in critical condition, loss of consciousness, 15BPM, CRT and the ambulance - despite being an emergency - took 1.5 hours to turn up. By then, the lady was awake but paralysed from waist down. Seen by doctor at 9AM TODAY, left on a stretcher in a corridor all night. Now discharged and no follow up. Doctor shrugged, Police not interested despite being at the scene.
This country has failed.
A boy named Marie
My mom was a feminist. She wanted to prove women were equal to men. This was why she left her husband, took my sister and I, and moved 3000 miles away. That was in 1968.
My clothes came from the Salvation army or Goodwill (once, directly from the donation bin at 9PM).
At times, we lived in our car.
We scrounged for coins in pay phone return slots for enough money to buy a cheeseburger at McDonald's. Once, we had to split three ways.
If we were lucky, my sister and I were fed leftovers from my mother's dates, brought home in doggie bags.
We were told that we would be kicked out at 15, with $1000 or a car, to make our way in life.
After 13 pregnancies, my mom had a hysterectomy. Three produced children — my two sisters and me. Ten were aborted or miscarried. I never met my older sister. She was adopted out at birth.
She used my sister and I as bait for would be adoption families, to extract money.
She dated every man she could find, it seemed, while telling me that all men were the most evil beings on the planet.
Many proposed. All were rejected. As a feminist, she didn't need a man. My sister moved in with friends when she was 12. They wanted to adopt her. Her family gave money to my mother.
Mom changed our family name to a girl's name, Marie, which caused me to get into many fist fights. My mom said it would build character, like the Johnny Cash song, "A boy named Sue."
She forced me to sign a contract agreeing to give her $50,000 of the first $50,000 I earned to pay back child-rearing expenses. My sister didn't have to sign. As a girl, my mother thought she would never be in a position to pay anything.
We moved 23 times before I was 16. That was when my father finally found us. Although it took most of his savings, he paid back the government for every dollar of welfare money my mother had received.
My sister and I moved in with him. And that was the end of my hobo youth.
My dad bought me and my sister new clothes. He didn't stay out all nights (or any night) on dates. He didn't tell me I was evil for being male. I changed my name back to what it had been before.
In 2005, I heard "A boy named Sue" on the radio for the first time. I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard. It was so true. All those fights, and all that blood, over a name.
That is what feminism means to me.
Sometimes people ask me what the moment that radicalized me was.
A young kid from my church went out with his mom to sell his cheap mp3 player with a cracked screen to a black man. $25.
The black man stabbed the kid in the chest over it. He died in his mothers arms as they waited for the ambulance to arrive.
This was a kid who was in AP classes. Dreamed of getting into med school and helping people. Murdered over $25 on a random Tuesday.
That’s what radicalized me.
Uh, no. Illegal immigrants who overstayed their welcome and took advantage of our generosity need to be sent back.
And if Mullin thinks giving Trump the middle finger on a major SCOTUS victory like this just days before America’s 250th is the way to go, he needs to resign or be fired. We don’t have time to deal with this kind of low IQ nonsense right now.
Oh, no big deal… just the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center sharing legitimate Iranian state propaganda while acting like Khamenei was some saint…
Joe and Tucker are in a race to see who can have the worst Muslim peen breath.
Europe is starting to ban A/C for 2 reasons:
1. To kill old people with heat stroke who use up all the tax dollars in socialized medicine.
2. To make everyone feel hot and miserable so the “global warming” scam feels more real and they can pass more tax increases.
These globalist elites are truly evil.
Look at the tiny dark specks on this mouse's face and ears. Those are larval ticks.
A single white-footed mouse can carry hundreds of them at once. The mouse feels nothing. The ticks feed, drop off, and molt into the nymphs that will bite you next summer.
White-footed mice are the primary reservoir for Lyme disease in the eastern US. Between 40 and 90 percent of larval ticks that feed on one come away infected.
A barn owl family eats roughly 1,000 to 3,000 mice a year. Do that math. Every mouse an owl pulls out of your yard is a host removed from the tick cycle, along with every larval tick currently feeding on it.
Barn owl populations are declining across North America, largely because hollow trees and old farm buildings, their traditional nesting sites, are disappearing. They'll use a nest box readily, and that's the key to getting their numbers up.
One box. One family of owls. Somewhere between 1,000 and 3,000 fewer mice per year, and the ticks that were riding them.
Let me be clear @SecMullinDHS
We don’t want any of the Haitians here on TPS to be granted any type of residency status.
They are overwhelmingly burdens on WE THE PEOPLE.
They all need to be deported NOW.
Get them gone. Pregnant women and criminals first.
Imagine if they did this to every sector? @ChefGruel what happens if they freeze the price of your burgers at $4? Hey, burgers are a human right! But inflation is 5% & you still have to pay employees $20/hr and that goes up every year, but you CANNOT raise your prices. Then...?
There is now a serious, well-funded plan to vaccinate every cow on earth, twice a year, so it burps less politely. Bill Gates is behind it. So is the New Zealand government. Somewhere a marketing department is very proud.
The company furthest along calls its methane vaccine the holy grail of livestock emissions, a phrase that should make you reach for your wallet and check it is still there.
The pitch is gloriously simple. Train the cow's own immune system to turn on the microbes in her gut, so she belches less methane, with a single jab lasting months. Early results suggest a cut of ten to fifteen per cent. Trials run through 2027, launch around 2030, by which point the dream is a needle in the neck of every cow they can corner.
Pause on that. Not a feed tweak. A plan to medicate an entire species, forever, across the whole planet, to fix a problem with how we count its burps.
Because methane from a steady herd cycles out of the air within about a decade. It does not pile up like fossil carbon. A stable national herd adds no new warming whatsoever, whatever the headlines shriek. The cow was convicted by an accounting method, and the sentence is a lifetime of injections.
And follow the money, because it does the confessing for you. The cash floods in from billionaire climate funds and the food giants chasing their own supply-chain targets, the very people who need the cow to look guilty so their spreadsheets come out green. Not a penny from the farmer, who just inherits the syringe and the bill.
So the grass-fed cow, quietly turning rain and sunshine into food on land that grows nothing else, is now a wellness patient with a biannual appointment. Marvellous. The cow was never the emergency. The people insisting she is just happen to have a vaccine to sell.
"Heartbreaking" was reserved for a loss in a game. Yet more than 40,000 innocent people were killed less than six months ago inside of Iran, and somehow that wasn't considered heartbreaking.
If we let it, the media will destroy this country by continuing to twist reality.
Last week, a Muslim woman entered our family ranch store and asked for Halal beef. When I told her we do not offer it, she demanded to know why not. As she turned to leave, I extended my hand in a simple gesture of goodwill—only for her to refuse it outright. The same person who expects us to accommodate her faith’s ritualistic slaughter of our livestock—complete with specific blessings and throat-cutting methods—could not bring herself to touch a Christian man’s hand. It was a stark reminder that some demands for tolerance flow only in one direction: ours.
Durin the Ottoman period, the Muslim Turks, in order to terrorize the Greeks, impaled and roasted alive Athanasios Diakos. But, they gave him a chance: "Will you become a Turk, Diakos? Will you change your faith? Will you pray in the mosque and abandon the church?"
He replied to them: "Go away, you and your faith, may you perish, you renegades! I was born a Greek, and as a Greek I shall die."
According to eyewitness accounts from the time, two Turks lit a fire next to the stable and placed an iron grate and a large copper cauldron filled with oil over it. Then they lifted Diakos, still bound as he was, and made him sit on an old wooden stool. They raised his legs. The Turks began to mock him, asking him various questions. For every negative nod, they drove nails into his feet. Afterwards, they took the boiling oil and first poured it over his bare feet.
When they saw that he did not react, they tore his clothing and began pouring it on his back and chest. He groaned silently in pain, and the soldiers, under orders not to kill him, used needles to burst the blisters that had formed on his skin from the boiling oil. This continued for hours, until the next morning.
Exhausted as he was, they dragged him through the town to execute him. His execution was carried out in public view with the permission of Halil Bey, so that the Greeks would be warned about what would happen to anyone who dared to revolt. Testimonies state that even Diakos’s mother was present at his torture.
After tying him backwards onto a saddle with his legs spread apart, the executioner began pushing the sharp tip of a wooden stake into his groin area and then slowly drove it deeper, going all the way through his body until it emerged near his right ear. The executioner moved carefully, as he had orders not to kill him quickly; with every push of the stake, Diakos’s screams confirmed he was still alive.
Once the executioner had finished his work, the Turks tied the body tightly with the stake so that the skin would not tear, and they propped him up, almost upright, against a tree.
As he was dying, it is said that he uttered these sorrowful verses: "Look at the time Death has chosen to take me, now, when the branches are blossoming and the earth brings forth grass."
Halil Bey gave the order to light a fire beneath him and to turn him slowly, so that he would be roasted alive like an animal. After many hours of torture, the Greek chieftain passed away on April 24, 1821. However, this had the opposite effect from what the Turks had expected.
When the Greeks learned of his story and his martyrdom, they were filled with even greater rage and strength to liberate themselves from the barbarous Muslims and Islam.
Athanasios Diakos is one of the most important heroes in the Greek history.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES: Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Oz have just announced OVER *ONE MILLION* PEOPLE are on Obamacare with NO Social Security number…
🤯🤯
It’s one big racket! Shut it down!
“They submit applications for fake people and enroll stolen identities all to collect millions of dollars in fees from insurance companies for selling plans they never legitimately sold!”
“The Obamacare marketplace is plagued by fraud, in large part because the Biden administration dismantled basic program integrity guardrails.”
“More than a million people enrolled in Obamacare without social security numbers on file. That is a glaring warning side of fraud.”
“If even a single person was on Obamacare with no social security number, we should have found out why are we paying people who we don't know if they actually exist.”
“Shady insurance agents and other bad actors have been getting paid to enroll unsuspecting Americans in health plans they never signed up for.”
“Thanks to this aggressive enforcement strategywe've already eliminated thousands of fraudulent policies and we're just getting started.”
“We’re also working with insurers to cancel every policy that should never have been issued and recover every tax payer dollar that was fraudulently paid out.”
This is why we need to pass Trump’s plan!
