I just had the most surprising experience of having a long time good friend of mine tell me that she couldn’t be my friend anymore because she can’t be around anyone who supports Trump. It’s so shocking and so sad to me that some people can actually give up a friendship because of someone’s political views. I never even discussed politics with her because I know our views are so different. I mostly discuss my political views with like-minded people. I never post anything political on Instagram but do on X. I’m not a rabid Trump supporter who loves everything he does or says, but all in all I think he’s done a lot of good things for the country and certainly better than the last administration. Most of us who voted for him wanted the border closed and illegals deported, especially criminals. The left seems to have a terrible problem with that and thinks it’s cruel. Rather, we should just support anyone who wants to come to this country and pay for their schooling, medical bills, welfare, housing, etc. That doesn’t make any sense to anyone except for crazy liberals. He’s gotten so much done during his term, taking away tax on tips has been tremendously helpful to working people and taxes on Social Security for the seniors. The left loves to call him a fascist. That’s their buzz word. Just like calling someone a racist. Conservatives would never end a long friendship because someone’s political views were different. It just makes me shake my head.

🚨#BREAKING: Outrage is erupting after a Missouri police officer who STARVED his own K9 partner to de*th and abused a another K-9...
...received just 15 DAYS in jail for doing so
The dog, Apollo, lost nearly 40% of his body weight, his ribs and spine were poking through his skin, and he passed away from "terminal starvation and dehydration" in a kennel in the officer's backyard.
His punishment? FIFTEEN DAYS in jail.
His name is Derrick Durall. He was the K9 handler for the Dexter Police Department in Missouri.
His partner was Apollo, a Belgian Malinois the department bought in April 2023.
In September 2023, a veterinarian examined Apollo. Her words, in the court record: a "perfectly healthy police dog." 67 pounds. Body condition: "perfect."
Five months later, on February 18, 2024, Apollo was found de*d in his kennel outside Durall's house.
He weighed 41 pounds.
Twenty-five pounds, GONE. His muscles wasted away. His eyes sunken into his skull. The state trooper's photos show his ribs and vertebrae protruding through his skin.
The necropsy: "terminal starvation and dehydration."
The police department PROVIDED the dog food, for free. It was sitting right there.
He just... didn't feed him.
When investigators asked, Durall claimed he "had not noticed the health decline" of his own partner.
A dog that lost nearly 40% of its body weight, in his own backyard.
It gets worse. There was a SECOND dog.
Retired K9 Knox lived in the kennel next to Apollo.
When they found him, he had severe heartworms, teeth worn down, and he had lost 10 pounds and had not seen a vet in over a YEAR.
Investigators said he smelled so bad the stench wouldn't come off after washing him FIVE times.
Now here's where I need you to pay attention, because this is the accountability part.
Prosecutors charged him with TWO FELONIES for animal abuse, alleging the suffering was "torture, consciously inflicted."
A jury trial was set for this summer.
And then, last week, it all evaporated.
He was allowed to plead guilty to two MISDEMEANORS. T
he felonies vanished and a judge sentenced him to one year in jail... and then SUSPENDED it.
Fifteen days. Two years probation. $8,900 to the city.
That's it.
It gets worse.
Missouri has a law called Max's Law.
If YOU, a regular citizen, knowingly m*rder a police K9, it's a Class D felony with up to SEVEN YEARS in prison.
Attack a police dog and you could do seven years.
Starve one to de*th in your backyard while wearing the badge... fifteen days.
Apollo couldn't open the food bag.
He couldn't turn on a faucet.
He couldn't call a vet.
He was completely dependent on the one man sworn to take care of him.
And that man let him waste away to 41 pounds and starve in the cold.
Pure evil.
🚨 JUST IN: The US House has PASSED the BOWOW Act, which makes any non-citizen who assaults or harms a federal working dog AUTOMATICALLY deportable, 228-190
This comes after an Egyptian man KICKED CBP Detection Dog Freddie, who caught him SMUGGLING illegal goods into the US
Good boy, Freddie!
Of course, most Democrats voted against this.
Has anyone done more damage to our kids than Randi Weingarten in the last couple decades?
A childless Marxist.
Teachers Union president with a $560,000 per year salary.
A book calling parents FASCISTS.
Now calling to boycott Target because they didn’t attack ICE.
Sick woman.
The brain is a biological computer. Just like silicon computers, some brains have more processing power or specialist skills than others and this varies tremendously in humans.
The probable capabilities of any given brain can be determined with high accuracy from an MRI. At Neuralink, we obviously have to understand brains extremely well to interface with them effectively, so there is no room for nonsense.
