@calmming_mario@postmanShmerg I agree, but I see RW arguments that flock will help with deportations and crime.
My argument is we do not need flock for deportations or crime reduction.
There is not the poltical will to do what must be with deportations and crime, additional surveillance doesnt solve that
Unfortunately, the House just voted to merge the most secretive & sensitive elements of our defense & intelligence apparatus with a foreign government.
This bill still has to clear the Senate.
Call your senators & representatives and tell them to not support the NDAA until the merger w/ Israel (Section 219) is removed.
Senate switchboard: (202) 224-3121
I want to thank @AnthonySabatini for brilliantly representing me today against @JayCollinsFLβs silly and frivolous lawsuit to kick me off the ballot.
Nine Men and One Flag
Abel Peck died at Gettysburg carrying the flag. He was my grandfather's grandmother's father.
In the Civil War, the flag bearer mattered as much as the generals. Maybe more. He was chosen for strength and character.
And everyone knew two things about the job. It was a death sentence - the flag made you the biggest target on the field. And it was the highest honor a soldier could hold.
At Gettysburg, Abel Peck fell first.
Another man picked up the flag. He was shot down. Another picked it up. He fell too. Eight men, one after another, lifted that flag. All eight died.
Eight men watched the man in front of them get killed for a piece of cloth. And they stepped forward anyway.
But it was never just cloth. In the smoke of battle, the flag told you the line was holding. Your brothers hadn't broken. As long as the flag was up, the fight was still on.
Half of every battle is morale. The flag was morale you could see.
That's why they died for it. They knew the danger. They just decided that courage was worth more than their lives.
President Trump put it well:
"The American patriots... were the heirs to this majestic inheritance. Their veins ran with Anglo-Saxon courage. Their hearts beat with an English faith in standing firm for what is right, good, and true."
Reader, we have that blood in our veins too.
When we stand up to our enemies, they throw tantrums like demons.
They want us to drop the flag. They want us demoralized.
No. We do what Abel Peck and those other men did.
We pick it up and move forward.
Our home is being invaded. That ends today.
Stand up. Fight for Indiana's heritage.

The UK is covered in a network of CCTV cameras, the average citizen might be filmed upwards of 70 times a day
Those cameras weren't used to stop the rape gangs, but they were used to track down citizens who protested the rape gangs
Why would Flock cameras be different?
