Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.

The only one who's done well from this deal is the mayor.

Before AquaBounty’s plans were public knowledge, a company owned by the mayor purchased land for $600k.

He later flipped that land to AquaBounty for nearly $2.1M

Road traffic deaths fell slightly to 1.19 million per year in 2021.

Over half of the UN Member States saw a decline in deaths, with 10 countries reducing deaths by 50% in the last 10 years. This proves that a 50% reduction in a decade is POSSIBLE.

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X.

This agency has saved Americans billions.

DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

So, this comic caused a bit of a stir yesterday and got me banned/flagged from certain places. I managed to grab this gif that someone posted before it got shut down. Thanks to everyone who shared.

Disclaimer: I’m not advocating for anyone to go Travis Bickle themselves, it’s just a dumb comic.
