What would you give for a little peace of mind?
What would you give to leave the past behind?
If it required nothing more than accepting it was so...
Would you give that little willingness?
Could you let it all go?

“The Biden FBI”

Who was President on January 6?

Donald J. Trump * © @reaDonaldTrump • 1m
THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

I'm not looking for visionary individuals.

The GOP had a large organization to develop Project 2025 - agree with them or not, a huge team who developed and documented their vision - the vision that is now being inflicted on our streets.

Do Dems have a research group assembling their plan?

Who are the democratic think tanks?
Who is building the Dems' Project2027 and Project 2029?

Anyone?

So police thought a bottle of Opium perfume was Opium. The incompetency is dumbfounding.

Here's the thing:

If you decide to protest by calling in sick, or do a zero-productivity day at work or by NOT spending money? What can ICE do?

I think the investment clearly provides the appearance of corruption...

We need paper ballots. They can be hand or machine marked. We can use (audited) machine counts but any irregularity should trigger nationwide recounts wherever the same tech is used.
