🚨 The nation’s *LARGEST* right wing militia, the 3 percent’ers, are attempting to abduct people from immigration court. This must be known about in order for people to protect themselves.
When are Labour finally going to
repeal the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 that outlawed acid house raves. The rave that led to this was Castlemorton and Kier Starmer defended the organisers in Court, one of whom is now Guido Fawkes: share.google/6Y5KOG51soRQ...

You have can't have crisis communications protocols that require supervisor approval out-of-hours if a supervisor isn't on duty. This has to be delegated to trusted individuals who can react quickly and get the messages out to alert people and save lives.
Q: There are reports where a fire dept commander asked a Kerr County sheriff dispatcher for a code red to be issued but they said they couldn't without a supervisor approving it. Almost 6 hours passes. How do you account for that lapse of time?

Eight-year-old girls at sleep-away camp, families crammed into recreational vehicles, local residents traveling to or from work. These are some of the victims.

It wasn't meant out of concern, it was in jest. As in a you-reap-what-you-sow kind of way.
There has to be a lot of worried TikTok influencers in the US right now.
Phenomenal. The size of those antlers. Beautiful.

His Majesty Arrives 👑!

Everything stops when this magnificent Elk struts around this town in Colorado.

What I will never understand is how anybody could kill this magnificent animal just to display its rack on his or her wall.

And not any GP appointment either. I got an immediate one. Was told there was one now, if I came straight down. I suppose most patients that they normally treat are in bed with flu.
You'll never guess what I just got? I can't believe it. It just doesn't happen anymore. I feel honoured. Like I've won the lottery. I...just...go...a GP appointment! *faints*

Trophy Hunter Rick Paillet travelled to Alaska to have the opportunity of a lifetime!

Here he poses proudly with the paw of the Bear that he murdered! 🤬🤬

Can't believe this is legal, other than in self-defence.
Not to the many people who deserve them they don't. And it is important we don't let that happen.
These days it is mostly about rewarding those that do good for society, and philanthropy, in order to encourage others to do the same. Though it does get abused by politicians who reward the wrong people.
It is vital that you speak openly and promote your findings.
