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 and 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 fellow Americans, is exactly how the American Revolution began, April 19, 1775.

Hello Representative Salazar,
You probably don't even know this... but he word "dignity" in your bill's title carries decades of political science literature behind it.
Dignity shifted from something that originates within the individual to something engineered from above by institutions. When the UN, NGOs, and multilateral bodies invoke dignity, they mean the replacement of organic, inherited civic bonds with managed, contractual ones administered by a professional class. That is the tradition your bill's language is drawing from, whether you intend it or not.
On the substance: the DIGNITY Act is amnesty. Symbolic barriers to permanent residency do not change that the bill provides a path to legal status for tens of millions of people who entered the country unlawfully. Others have dissected the policy details thoroughly, so I won't repeat their work here.
But I want to press a different question. Why the insistence that this isn't amnesty? The most straightforward explanation is that you know your constituents oppose it. They voted for enforcement, in the most demographically diverse Republican coalition in modern history. That coalition didn't ask for managed integration. It asked for sovereignty.
The Founding Fathers built a republic from the bottom up, starting with human nature as it actually is: rooted in specific communities. The rules-based international order builds from the top down, starting with an abstract ideal and engineering populations to match it. Your bill, whatever its intentions, belongs to the second tradition, the one that is non-American. It assumes that cohesion can be manufactured through NGO programs... public schools, civic integration, managed assimilation... rather than protected through enforcement of the boundaries that a self-governing people chose to establish.
That is not a conservative position. It is not a republican position in any meaningful sense.
And your constituents can see it.
We see you.
You are a fraud, Representative Salazar.
Dear Chuck Schumer,
Hi. Black dude here. I can trace my family ancestry to slavery. I even know where they were slaves. My mom experienced Jim Crow. I think I’ve watched every episode of “Eyes On the Prize” when I was younger.
With that said…
Can you directly explain to me how the SAVE Act is “Jim Crow 2.0?” Literally every black person I know has ID. Literally every black person I know has a car or at least a ride. Literally every black person I know knows how to vote (well… except the ones with felonies… but they don’t count).
With your advanced white liberal thinking, you must know more than me. Apparently, as I experience daily on this app, white liberals are experts on being black; even more so than actual black folks. Perhaps you could explain it like I’m five. I’d look it up on the internet, but Kathy Hochul has already told me I don’t know what a computer is and Joe Biden said I can’t navigate it, anyway.
Looking forward to your answer.
No hugs.
Zeek
A PICTURE WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS.
Team USA honored Johnny Gaudreau by bringing his 2 kids out to the ice and holding his jersey up for a picture after winning the God Medal.
Johnny and his brother Matthew were killed by a drunk driver in 2024, which kept him off the ice today.
What an incredible tribute that his family will never forget.
This is BIGGER THAN HOCKEY.
🚨BREAKING: A MASSIVE group of House Republicans, led by firebrand Rep. Brandon Gill, just DROPPED A BOMBSHELL letter DEMANDING Mitch McConnell RELEASE THE SAVE ACT from the Senate Rules Committee and bring it straight to the floor for a vote!
PASS THE SAVE ACT!
Do you firmly support this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
A powerful Black woman just shut down these hypocritical anti-ICE agitators who screamed the N-word at a Black ICE agent—calling him a "house n***er" while pretending to fight racism!
She reminds EVERY Black American: The real racists are these white liberals who weaponize us, use us as shields, then drop slurs the second we don't obey their script.
They're not allies—they're the same plantation owners in new packaging. Wake up, community! Stop letting them divide us while they hate our borders, our jobs, and our dignity.
ICE is doing their job. Respect it. Protect it. 🇺🇸
#BlackVoicesMatter #ExposeTheHypocrites #WhiteLiberalRacism #SupportICE #AmericaFirst
Masked deranged libs call an ICE agent a "n*gger" as he goes about his work.
The worst part of all this madness is that the left think they're the "good guys."
Literally, the most violent, racist scum on earth

WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW
•A near-total internet blackout is in effect.
•Millions are in the streets, day and night.
•This is a nationwide uprising, unprecedented in scale.
•Electricity and phone lines are down, hospitals can’t call for backup — yet the people are lighting up the streets themselves.
•The regime is running out of forces and is importing proxy militias from Iraq and Lebanon — and still, the people do not retreat.
Iranians stand with courage, discipline, and unity.

THE WORLD MUST ACT — NOW
The people vastly outnumber the regime.
If the world looks away, mass atrocities will follow.

Entering every ministry of the Ayatollah occupation and reclaiming it for the people of Iran.
This is not chaos.
This is a liberation movement.
And nothing —NOTHING— can stop a nation of lions and lionesses from being FREE.
