let’s agree to be honest from the start.

In February, the average price of a gallon of regular gas in the United States was $2.91. Now it’s $4.22 . That's what you get when you elect an idiot the president of the United States, allow him to start a war without congressional approval.

Carroll, now a bright spot on our Moon, because four people, who traveled farther from Earth than any human in the 4.5-billion-year history of Earth has ever been, loved someone so much, they carried her the whole way there.

I really hope she turns this into a billion-dollar success.

I don’t know why anyone is acting like some narrative collapses because he kicked out a taillight. That action ranges between a petty misdemeanor and a gross misdemeanor with anything from up to a $3,000 fine and 1 year of jail time (neither of which would happen, those are MAXIMUM punishments for either scenario) and he was not arrested or charged with a crime. The fact he pulled over and blew a whistle/was shouting at them at a prior event and got tackled + had his rib broken by the agents tackling him for that doesn’t collapse what happened either.

Last I checked, kicking taillights is property damage… not a death penalty and not a threat of bodily harm. Last I checked, pulling over and shouting or blowing a whistle isn’t physically obstructing anyone, a threat of bodily harm or worthy of a death penalty.

Frankly, instead of a VA nurse, Alex could’ve been his neighborhood crack dealer for all I really give a fuck. It has absolutely no bearing on what took place the other morning. The other morning, two women were violently shoved by an asshole militant anonymous cop. Alex was subsequently checking on one of the women (that was violently shoved to the ground) and then maced, jumped, disarmed and executed by those same masked federal agents. If he were selling crack just hours earlier, it doesn’t change the violent actions of the federal government. Anything and everything he’d done up to that very point in time in his life is completely irrelevant to what happened in the final 60-90 seconds of his life.

He was an American citizen: fact.
He was a licensed, registered gun owner, as allowed by the Second Amendment: fact.
He was carrying his licensed, registered firearm, as allows by the Second Amendment: fact.
He was filming federal agents, which is allowed under the First Amendment: fact.
He was utilizing his free speech, which is allowed under the First Amendment: fact.
He was checking on or looking to assist a small woman that was just violently shoved to the ground: fact.
He never brandished, touched or intentionally shoved his firearm to anyone: fact.
All of his limbs were under the control of federal agents: fact.
He was disarmed by one or two federal agents: fact.
Moments after being disarmed by a federal agent, he was fatally shot to death (beginning while his arms were still under the control of law enforcement): fact

Last I checked, Americans had a right to bear arms out in public. Last I checked, Americans had a plethora of First Amendment rights. Last I checked, none of us were okay with militant police officers and soldiers running around cities to police them. Last I checked, we held the government accountable for taking away someone’s right to due process.

Nothing that man ever did in his life up to that moment is relevant to what the actions of the federal government were IN that moment. They’ve done nothing but lie for days. Nobody thought his cell phone was a fucking gun. If so he would’ve been shot PRIOR to being tackled and PRIOR to being disarmed. Nobody gave a fuck about whether or not his ID & CCW permit were on his person, they ALL know that’s a petty misdemeanor to not have those items on you. They cannot “gather intel” of days and weeks prior to that event in an effort to build a narrative. They need to account and answer for that 1-2 minute window of reaction and response. The excessive amount of shots fired into a man’s body after he was WITHOUT A DOUBT “neutralized” and flat on the ground.

If these men are “too tired,” they need to be pulled. If they’re “too traumatized,” they need psychiatric treatment and to be relieved of their duties. If they’re “jumpy,” the same applies for needing treatment and to be relieved of their duties.

NOBODY, left or right, who watched every angle of that and doesn’t need to be “told” what they saw, can honestly say that they didn’t watch a man be assaulted, disarmed and executed. Fuck the “right,” fuck the “left,” OUR Constitutional rights as are at risk.

A helpful tip just in case cell towers go down this weekend...

If you have an iPhone 14 or newer, you have access to Satellite Texting.

During Hurricane Helene, we lost cell signal for weeks, but were able to send a text via satellite to my parents, letting them know we were ok

🚨🚨BREAKING🚨🚨

Donald Trump has revealed “The Great Healthcare Plan” which will give families $2,000 annually to purchase their own health insurance.

The average annual health insurance premium for a family is $26,000.

His proposal will cover 28 days of health insurance and leave families uninsured for 337 days out of the year.

@rawsalerts They claim they have no money for Food Stamps to poor children, but they have:

* Billions to spend on a new war in Nigeria
* Billions to send Argentina
* Billions to spend on a new war in Venezuela
* Millions to spend blowing up boats
* Millions to spend on a ballroom

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape. 

And by the way, he warned you too, because he said what he would do. But the fact is there were plenty of people who voted for Trump and Republicans anyway. And it wasn't because they wanted to give up the right to free speech or see public health systems torn down, but because they were understandably frustrated with inflation and gas prices and the difficulty of affording a home and worries about their children's future.

Now, nine months later, you have got to ask yourself, has any of that gotten better?

It sure has gotten better for Trump and his family.
