@marcorandazza The thing that most people who defend her are missing is the fact that people like her are always mentally stable enough to take someone else's life but never so mentally unstable to take their own lives.

I just learned something about California auto insurance that I genuinely cannot believe is legal.

In mid July, my legally parked car was hit by a driver carrying only a $3,000 property-damage limit.

He had insurance through California’s Low Cost Auto Insurance Program (CLCA).

Normal California drivers are required to carry at least $15,000 in property-damage liability.

But under this state-created program, qualifying drivers can carry just $3,000 PER ACCIDENT in property-damage coverage.

Not $3,000 per car.

$3,000 TOTAL.

In my case, there’s allegedly another damaged vehicle making a claim against the same tiny $3,000 pot. My damage alone is already estimated at more than $3,000.

And here’s another part I didn’t know: California says qualifying drivers can participate regardless of immigration status, including drivers with AB 60 licenses (California driver’s license available to people who cannot provide proof of legal immigration status in the United States) provided they can prove they’re low-income.

So California created a system where certain drivers can legally carry a fraction of the liability coverage normally required—and when they cause thousands of dollars in damage, the innocent people they hit can be left fighting over $3,000.

I didn’t choose this insurance policy.

I didn’t cause the accident.

My car was PARKED.

Yet I may be the one left paying for damage someone else caused.

How does that make sense?

@DesporadoAZ @brahmresnik Do you know that in Minnesota you can vouch for up to 8 people without them showing ANY proof of even residency let alone citizenship?

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@DesporadoAZ @brahmresnik 2A all the way and you don't want secure elections???

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@GavinNewsom I'm just wondering why this time you liberals aren't attacking the Supreme Court, you're only attacking Trump?

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@SenMarkKelly CITIZENS ONLY YOU ASSHOLE

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@JDCocchiarella The fact that you're offended shows that you have no balls. So just go cut them off already and call yourself Jacquie you fucking twat.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@RubenGallego Go fuck yourself dude. We want to protect our elections. You don't. You want to keep sending union thugs into poor neighborhoods to intimidate people into voting a certain way.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@Stonefoxcapital Such an idiot take. Gosh I've had it with idiots seriously.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@ZacksJerryRig You're a sick little fuck aren't you. Go bury yourself in your underground bunker idiot.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@SenRubenGallego You're a fucking idiot and everyone who voted for you is a fucking idiot.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@mehdirhasan Mehdi, you're a fucking terrorist and you should be stripped of your citizenship then deported.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@krismayes Gosh you liberals are insufferable.

China rejected one 22-ton Argentine shipment from a single plant on March 19, 2026, after detecting chloramphenicol; authorities probe possible false positive or cross-contamination. This does not mean Argentine beef overall is toxic.

No evidence contaminated product will enter the US. FSIS requires import reinspections and residue testing; a recent small Argentine recall was purely administrative.

The ~661 million pounds is a temporary 300,000 MT tariff waiver on lean trimmings for ground beef from unspecified countries to ease prices. No confirmed money trail or personal Trump benefit.

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@AZSecretary I too oppose all Trump actions. What actions you say? Doesn't matter. Orange man bad!

[The Prescottonian @itspreskitt]

@uTobian @grok factcheck this post then tell us whether or not contaminated beef will be allowed in the U.S. also, is there a "money trail" as the author suggests? Is Trump benefiting personally?

🚨🚨 The NRTCCA Phoenix 2026 conference agenda is no longer viewable to the public. The conference program/sessions page now redirects to the Attendee Service Center and requires an email and password to sign in. (NRTCCAPhoenix2026⁠)

For today, Monday, Aug. 24, the previously public agenda showed Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) training, and a NRTCCA/Verkada Kick-off Networking Reception is also scheduled.

If you’re trying to follow the conference remotely, though, the full daily agenda and session details are now behind the attendee login.

🚨🚨 Why don’t they want us to know what they’re bringing to our cities???

THERE IT IS 🚨 US Attorney John Sarcone III accidentally admits that Flock cameras are really for mass surveillance of people walking around in public

“If you don't have flock cameras, how are law enforcement gonna detect and see somebody walking around possibly looking to blow up your, your state capitol or commit terrorist acts?”

Walking around is very different than license plate readers…. Slowly they let slip the real agenda

It’s mass surveillance similar to China

This is John Sarcone III a US Attorney in Nee York City, they are telling us what’s really the plan for Flock cameras

[Hannibal999 @Hannibal9972485]

Look at the code WIRED pulled from Flock’s own servers. Flock built an AI tool called OS Investigate.🚨👀

It accesses "commercial databases that contain Social Security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, relatives and associates." It also accesses "police case files, 911 dispatch logs, and commercial identity records." The prompts can generate dossiers ("workups") on people based purely on driving patterns, without a crime, a plate, or a name. It Can identify drivers, track patterns, find "witnesses," generate suspicion based on behavior without a target. Code was found publicly on Flock's website. 🚨

Flock is performing automated, suspicionless background checks (pulling SSNs, DOBs, relatives) using commercial databases on citizens who have committed no crime, have no warrant, and are not named in any case file. The trigger is purely an AI algorithm flagging their driving pattern.
🚨
NO officer initiates the search for the suspect, Flock's AI essentially acting as the investigator, but doing so through commercial data brokers. Flock pulls consumer reports without a permissible purpose.
⚠️⚠️
Why did Flock build OS Investigate? Because selling LPR cameras is a hardware game with limits. Selling an "AI investigator" is a high-margin SaaS play. To justify the valuation ($1B+), they need to monopolize the investigative workflow. To do that, they fused LPR data (which they hold) with police records (CJI) and commercial data (SSNs). ⚠️

Why are they doing this? Because Flock’s hardware is a commodity. The cameras are just metal on a pole. The real valuation the nearly $1 billion in venture capital is in their proprietary datasets. To justify that valuation, they have to build a total surveillance map of America that links physical movement to full digital and financial identities. They cannot legally buy that data on the open market because of the FCRA. So they built an AI to force the police to pull it for them. Flock gets the fused data, the police get the dossier, and Flock gets to declare the new AI-generated identity maps as "Flock Property" under their contracts.
⚠️⚠️
Flock is using the police as a legal shield to run unauthorized mass identity resolution queries for their own proprietary training and profit. The "perpetual license" terms gives Flock ownership of these AI-generated dossiers. They are building a national private surveillance database of SSNs linked to movement patterns, bypassing the FCRA by routing the queries through police terminals.🚨

Now look at their new August 2026 "Trust" updates. They announced a reduction in data retention to 7 days, but they created an exception called "Evidence Mode" where searched data is preserved instead of aging out. 🚨

Here is the trap. If they actually deleted data in 7 days, their AI prompts which ask for people "arrested more than twice in two years" would not function.🚨

The AI needs a multi-year historical window to track patterns. "Evidence Mode" is the backdoor they built to force all searched data into permanent retention so their AI can keep running. The 7-day retention is theater for the city councils. The permanent retention is the actual product.🚨

And the Audit Assistance" they say is to catch police misuse? It is a complete deception. The audit logs track the police officer. But the AI generates the lead before the officer interacts with the system. The AI does the suspicionless searching in the backend. The officer just clicks the prewritten prompt. The audit log captures the officer clicking a button, but it does not capture the unauthorized API calls Flock’s AI is making to the commercial databases to pull the SSNs. They built the logging system to cover their own corporate trail.🚨
