“…grasping at straws about people making Hitler and rape jokes” is certainly one way to look at things.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Never forget the "Umbrella Man" who was smashing windows & starting fires during the George Floyd protest in Minneapolis. They dubbed him antifa but he was a white supremacist shite-stirrer!

They will plant their people and blame antifa! Video it all!

Read on and be prepared. ☮️💙

Man who helped ignite George Floyd riots identified as white supremacist: Police

A masked umbrella-wielding man helped incite riots and looting in the immediate aftermath of George Floyd's death, police said.

🧾I gotta say, the rain forecast was actually pretty close to accurate. Cumberland County's forecast was too high though.

Winds actually cranked a little higher, but the general theme was there. #NJwx

As a non-guitarist, it took a lot of work and effort to record my Off You Pop! EP that I released as @ferociousdesigns.com back in May. I think I was so relieved it was done, that I just moved on so I never really plugged it much. Yeah, it could have used more time for mixing, but whatever...

Shoutout to the National Weather Service man. The Meteorologists and tech staffed in Mt. Holly worked their butts off for this nor'easter, all without current pay, due to the shutdown.

They do it because, like me, they've loved weather for a long time. Please give them a thank you. 👏
