This is one of the best and most moving political ads I have ever seen.
New York... Vote BLAKEMAN for Governor this November.
There are tons of 9/11 families in NY who feel this way. This type of pain doesn't fade. These kinds of wounds never fully heal.
Do it for them.

They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.”
But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot; they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the lowest of the low.
Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women, and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it … hence the saying, “Don’t throw the baby out with the Bath water!”
Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof, resulting in the idiom, “It’s raining cats and dogs.”
There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed, therefore, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That’s how canopy beds came into existence.
The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt, leading folks to coin the phrase “dirt poor.”
The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery in the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way, subsequently creating a “thresh hold.”
Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, “bring home the bacon.” They would cut off a little to share with guests and would all sit around and “chew the fat.”
Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the “upper crust.”
Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial.. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait and see if they would wake up, creating the custom of holding a wake.
England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When reopening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive, so they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift.) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, saved by the bell or was considered a dead ringer.
And that’s the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring?
This is 110% accurate. When I was a Ranger, I remember we all cowered in fear whenever a lady CIA agent rolled Into the TOC. We'd be like "Oh no, here comes the Tigress, tuck your dicks boys! She's the highest ranking person anywhere she goes, which can only mean she's a merciless asshole". We would beg them to teach us how to fight and shoot, but we could never seem to keep up.
11/10 would watch this perfect representation of combat life.
March, 2021. CNN breaks the "news" that the Pfizer vaccine is 100% effective in preventing infection and sickness in 12-15 year old.
It was absolutely not true.
This is the same CNN that wouldn't air Trump's recent speech because of "misinformation."
This is how soft, open borders end - invasion.
Donald Trump saved the U.S. from the same fate by stopping illegals from entering across the Mexican border.
Why is Europe so scared to follow suit? This via @BreitbartNews

Spain is currently up in flames as migrant invaders violently conquer the country.
This is America's warning that Democrats cannot be allowed to regain power.
They will import the third world and destroy our nation.
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: Spain's Civil Guard chief declares the border has "TOTALLY COLLAPSED," per @BillMelugin_
THOUSANDS of military-aged African men have poured over the border in the past several hours.
This is because Spain just gave AMNESTY to illegals. All amnesty does is ENCOURAGE more illegal immigration.
Hey sir, I’m not in your district but I’m only like half a mile away and funny thing is I went elementary and high school with Veronica Escobar but I know she will do anything. My wife is a teacher and retired and once you get in Congress, I would like to know if you can look into. The TRA which I think is the Texas retirement for teachers she’s been doing it for 27 years and I think they’re really getting screwed over. Your help once you get in would be very appreciative.
