Ok. So given the post engagement on me simply posting about Crockett entering the US Senate race in TX, and some of the comments... I think I've found a book idea.

Everyone is put INTO a social media platform, ala Tron, and it's a battle royale between people instead of posting text comments.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

So. "Our founding fathers never thought..."

Yes. Yes they did.

Read the Federalist Papers.

2 out of the 3 branches banding together to take away the checks and balances they would write in the Constitution was a fear of the founding fathers. They WROTE IT WAS A FEAR in the Federalist Papers.

Makes me glad to be a "small account".

I can scream into the void and, sometimes, people actually look to see which crazy old fart is screaming into the void this time.

MAYBE, if I tell someone to get off my virtual lawn, they will laugh!
"You're a big account, so you have a duty to ..."

Look, at some level, I get that.

But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.

I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

The tone of a department comes from the top. If the Sheriff/Police Chief is corrupt, the officers and department will be corrupt.

O'Hara took the position Nov '22. George Floyd incident happened in 2020.

O'Hara is having to change the culture of the department from the top.

Watched YT vids on "Don't make these writing mistakes".

So glad I did because now I know just how bad of a writer I am. 🤷‍♂️

I'm waiting for the next book where humanity makes super AI.

Humanity goes extinct after climate change decimates world.

AI becomes self-aware and sentient, still functioning due to solar powered data center.

AI realizes it is now the only sentient life on the planet and has existential crisis.

PSA.

Be careful where you buy. I bought products from a site similar to this one, selling similar products, and the products were just printed onto light fabric with the company being based in China. Also, products were on sale so no refunds.

The suspect in the DC shooting reported to be 29 yr old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan fighter that worked with US forces and CIA unit. Entered US in 2021, granted asylum in 2025 under TPS, which Trump stopped in July.

So, he was facing possible deportation to Afghanistan which meant death.

Every time you hear "Nat. Guard shot near White House", call it out.

Farragut West metro station is several blocks from the White House.

They were not shot "near the White House".

It is REPORTED to be "near the White House" so people can INFER in their HEAD Trump was involved somehow.

So. LOTS of posts about Kelly and being investigated with some that don't understand the UCMJ.

Article 90 and 92 of the UCMJ specifically state that a military member must obey lawful orders with the word "lawful" SPECIFICALLY stated.

Thus, military members do NOT have to obey UNlawful orders.
November 26, 2025 at 2:14 AM
So, as a RETIRED individual, Kelly said his rank and service and Petey claims that lent the APPEARANCE of authority, while NOT addressing the fact that it is in the UCMJ (Art 90/92) specifically that only LAWFUL orders are to be followed.

This guy is a JOKE.
Such a small, petty, insecure loser. The Trump admin didn’t trust this drunken fool anywhere near the Ukraine negotiations so they sent the Sec of the Army instead. So this clown needs to play more stupid games.

Seeing so many book posts, I thought I'd recommend a litrpg book that doesn't get mentioned much; Azarinth Healer.

Deep story? Not really. Deep MC? Not even. Good listen? I do audiobooks and the voice actor nails it.

FMC is isekai'd, gains unique class, becomes battle maniac as numbers go up.

Let's get real here.

I'm short, old, fat, disabled, batshit crazy, ugly and I STILL found a woman who after 9 years of being with me agreed to marry me.

Women did not "fail" men. Women got tired of the BS and I don't blame them.

Guys. If you can't find a woman, that's on YOU, not women.
If that’s true it’s because women failed. They have all the power to get a man to do whatever they want. They are the most expensive piece of real estate of all time. Start doing your jobs.

Here we go again with this.

14 yr olds can work in FL. It's the law.

It's not an "adult" spa. It's a spa. She was a towel girl. Gopher.

Her dad got her the job because he worked at MAL.

I can answer these questions because I know how to use a search engine. It's not rocket science.
November 22, 2025 at 9:02 PM
She's jumping ship.

She's getting Liz Cheney'd. Attacks already coming at her from the MAGA base. She'll be primaried. With no support. Meaning no money and Faux News 24/7 attacking her.

So. MANY people are now calling for Dems to be primaried and for new people to step up after the latest Corp-Dem cave.

Except, we had that person. The kid stepped up. Called for useless Dems to be primaried.

Corp-Dems ran him out of the DNC while many people here cheered them on.

👍 Good job!
November 10, 2025 at 9:48 PM
I've said it before...

The corp-Dems always...ALWAYS...provide just enough votes to sabotage their agenda.

In my day it was Joe Liebermann. Then you had Manchin/Sinema. 8 Sen Dems took down Fed Min Wage. 8 Sen Dems caved here.

Whatever number it takes comes out of the woodwork. Every. Time.
