All social media is based on deception

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

I am always surprised by how fast people who read the captions on videos believe every word. They'll even argue with other people in the comments. Even on the most obvious rage-inducing engagement bait.

If you stand up to the billionaire Epstein class, Israelis will spend record breaking amounts of money to unseat you from your district, no matter how small. A foreign government influencing our elections to protect pedophiles, and our president is fully on board. Absolute nadir.

@FOX29philly The biggest scam. Pretend the money will be used for failing public schools and then divert it to all the usual suspects. When the schools continue to fail, claim it's a funding issue and find a new tax.

This is the result of Congress completely abandoning their duty in declaring war. #IranWar‌

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

If the coverage doesn't cover war, I wonder what it would actually cover. It makes me believe their is fine print to get out of any claim. Because of this, I will never use your services again, or will I use Expedia. I will also actively discourage anyone from using your company.

As someone who never buys insurance, I was relieved I did in this case.

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

I just don't understand how you could fall for military industrial complex propaganda after living through the Afghan and Iraq War. Just no intellectual curiosity or just completely captured by party affiliation, would be my best guesses.

If you're representatives aren't demanding answers on the Epstein files, vote them out. 🗳

@PhillyInquirer Not a serious paper

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

@WarMonitors 1984, war is peace

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

At this point, it would be more patriotic and effective to NOT join the military. A better alternative would be starting your own investigation team and uncovering corruption in your closest city.

@BobMurphyEcon @grok how much will the Artemis II NASA mission cost?

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

@michaelmalice He offered a straight up bribe to the voter through UBI, and still lost

[Thomas Lavin @RealThomasLavin]

@ThomasSowell @grok is the communist directive 1943 real?

@Variety She thinks charity is socialism

For the 250th anniversary of the founding of the Marines they offered tours of the lodge, library, and museum. They took us through their meeting halls, each unique with its own theme. The highlight for me being the 17-foot bronze statue of Ben Franklin in the Grand Ballroom.

The Masonic Temple in Center City Philadelphia
The Freemasons share some history with the Marines, through Tun Tavern. It served as the Masons first Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania in 1731 and the Marines first recruiting station in 1775.

Ok, strike 2 ticks. One more and we dust off the WWII flamethrowers. #LoneStarTick #AlphaGalSyndrome

I had to fit in @JackCarrUSA's annual James Reese novel. A prequel featuring James' father in Vietnam as a Navy Seal in MACV-SOG. I got the shot and signed edition!
