Once more into the fray we will go. What is here you'll soon know. God speed Bro's and Sis's.
@ItsTheEnforcer Military medical refused to check. Majority of us had to pay private doctors to even check our levels, then prescribe a treatment plan. It's actually a good thing and long overdue. High cortisol levels due to always being in a constant state of fight, lowers free testosterone.
@BasedMikeLee What ever puts more money in politicians pockets... that's what gets voted on. Then restrict individual liberty. It's obvious at this point.
@coloradodems Sound's like the candidate Colorado needs!
Someone not afraid of calling out evil. Willing to go through hell to rescue those in need, because of his personal experience as a child. I'd vote for @victormarx.
@GretchenPSmith I know Veterans CofV have assisted. They speak highly of Gretchen. Us vets are sometimes our biggest hurdle. We were trained not to seek help or become non deployable. There are people that actually care and do good for Veterans. The Vets just have to ask.
Understand that this is why they want everyone to have internet-connect smart thermostats.
So they don't have to ask. They'll just control your thermostat for you.
@JLeaghn@VikingRobVWO@Metallic_Link A lot has to do with VFW and TAL support behind the TCAVA vs the Richard Star Act, which already passed the house. TCAVA will remove Tenitus and Sleep Apnea ratings from everyone to cover the expense. It would result in a 20% disability rating reduction for those with both.
🔴🔴BREAKING NEWS🔴🔴
Seventy-Two Killed Resisting Gun Confiscation In Massachusetts.
A National Guard task-force detailed to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault-style weapons, was ambushed by elements of an anti-Government, para-military extremist faction.
Military & law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw.
Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement.
Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “treasonous criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order.
The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault-style weapons.
Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.
One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.”
Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition.
However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans.
During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Ironically, the local citizenry blamed the government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the National Guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat.
Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops.
Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.
And this ….is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775.
Never let them take your guns.
@ImBreckWorsham Governments don't want to showcase what one individual can do. Imagine a group of determined individuals. I graduated from UVU, have been on the exact location of both. I served 20 years in combat. Yes 1 individual can achieve results. Hold Robinson accountable for his actions.
Sunday Preparedness Thought
As I've gotten older, my definition of resilience has changed. I still believe in emergency kits, backup/contingency plans, and learning practical skills. Those things matter. But I've learned that one of the most important parts of resilience isn't something you can buy. It's the people you surround yourself with.
Life has a very in-your-face way of revealing who your tribe really is. When everything is going well, it's easy to think you have a large circle. But hard times have a way of showing you who will actually be there. The person who answers the phone at two in the morning without asking why. The friend who tells you the truth, even when it's not what you want to hear. The people who do the right thing because that's who they are. People who keep their word. The ones who show up when you need them most.
Over the years, I've learned that when a real crisis comes, titles don't matter. Social media doesn't matter. Status doesn't matter. Character does. Integrity does. Loyalty does. Those are the things that last. Those are the people you'll remember for the rest of your life.
So while you're thinking about preparedness, don't just invest in supplies. Invest in your relationships. Be the kind of friend you'd want in your own corner. Keep your word. Show up when it's inconvenient. Do the right thing, especially when no one is watching. Because when life takes an unexpected turn, and sooner or later it will, you'll realize your greatest source of strength isn't what's sitting on a shelf. It's the people standing beside you.
@ImBreckWorsham While this is correct, there is a "Non Prosecutorial Agreement for any and all co-conspirators" regarding the Epstein establishment. Considering there is no legal means to hold them accountable, extraordinary means is the next step. According to the Christians In Action sop,'s.
This is correct. I attended the Supreme Court arguments. Trump DOJ argued alongside Bayer/Monsanto that because the EPA had already blessed glyphosate, no state government could require labels disclosing cancer risk. The EPA & DOJ in this instance was only there to protect Bayer.
@4nt1p4tt3rn Well stated. My time in austere environments I gained the habit of packing and re-packing, personal training and learning new skills. I moved to a small town intent on buying time to develop COA's, built a network of individuals and trained others. Known in my area and speak up.
@ImBreckWorsham Hopefully the population are realizing we have a government/politician problem not neccesarily Party issues. Each side further erodes individual liberty one cut at a time.
Two hundred fifty years ago, a handful of ordinary men decided they’d rather be dangerous than be ruled.
They weren’t generals. They were printers, farmers, preachers, and a few outright troublemakers. Fathers, most of them. And when they walked out of that hall in Philadelphia, somebody asked Franklin what they’d built.
“A republic,” he said. “If you can keep it.”
If.
That one word has been sitting there for two and a half centuries, waiting on us to answer it. And as we roll up on the 250th, I’ll be straight with you. I don’t think we’re keeping it.
We’ve handed over our liberty a piece at a time and called it safety. Let them watch us, track us, search us, and cage us, and then thanked them for it. Doesn’t matter which party held the pen. Pick a team and they’ll gladly take a different cut of you while you cheer.
We lost our identity. We stopped being free men and women and let ourselves get sorted into demographics, audiences, voting blocs, and customers. Something to be farmed.
And we lost each other. They taught us to hate the neighbor with the wrong sign in his yard, while the people who actually run things don’t care about your sign at all. The division isn’t a side effect. It’s the product - and we keep buying it.
I’ve got nine kids. The republic I hand them is the only inheritance that matters, and right now I’m not proud of the shape it’s in.
Franking knew something and he tried to warn us - keeping it was never going to be comfortable. “If” isn’t a promise. It’s a dare. Two hundred fifty years later it’s still pointed right at us.
So happy (Founding) Father’s Day. Be dangerous. Do good. And for God’s sake, let’s keep the republic.
We actively funded the Taliban in Afghanistan for years.
We still look the other way as Shia militias in Iraq run rampant with direct lines to the Iranian Quds force.
We placed a literal Al Qaeda commander in charge of Syria and act like it was a good move.
We are extremely cozy with Qatari monarchs that tax enslave millions and harbor terrorists from Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood, to just name a couple.
We think we can negotiate with Iran successfully this time, despite almost 50 years of evidence proving we cannot.
And we are now undermining our relationships with our very few Western leaning allies in the Middle East.
Like seriously, what the hell are we doing guys?
