Do not allow their efforts in life to extinguish in death.
America's attention is now more fully drawn to matters of:
--Lost Freedoms
--Police Brutality
--Gun Violence
--Cruelty to Immigrants
--Trump and Miller's hypnotic vitriol
Let not their sacrifices have been in vain.

You see, friends and neighbors, we have a government and gun problem. It has not been good under ANY administration. Keep sucking that Blue crackpipe--they don't care either. It's all money, crime, grift.

Hi!!!
Sense of humor and dark attraction to irony are the only things keeping me out of jail during this period in American history.
How are you staying out of jail?

Bravo! Though mentally unbalanced, Trump quite obviously never intended invasion. Americans are too easily distracted. This is to steer Europe's focus to a strategic area.
I am wanting to share Europe perspective on Greenland and what is clear to most of us.
Trump draws attention to Greenland to manipulate allies to invest in its protection.
We dislike Trump not because we think he considered invasion, but because this was manipulation, not diplomacy.

My observation is that American politics remains in its infancy. Both sides are unrealistically rigid. The killing of the young woman by ICE and the storming of the church are simply both egregious. Those disturbed by ICE shooting ought be as disturbed by Ashely Babbit killing. Those upset by...

Farage, in addition to everything else he’s a rank hypocrite 🤷🏼♂️
As recently as October 2025 Nigel Farage was warning people to never trust a Tory, but he's also happy to accept defections of key figures from the Conservative party.

Too many American progressive men have learned to speak the language of advancement and inclusion, yet continue to act from a position of privilege and persist in speaking down to women and minorities.

This is not the United States we grew up with, friend of Europe, aspiring to creating a finer world.
BREAKING: Tim Walz:
"I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard… these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops. Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight."

My new opinion is that genAI/LLMs should be pulled from the general public. Access can be granted through higher education research (science/medical). It makes sense because of the large data models they handle and the chance AI can assist with researches like cancer

Maybe I started getting political as a kid when I asked a lot of questions.
And the answer was always: "You have oppositional defiance disorder and go take your Ritalin."

Took the toddler to Newcastle and showed her the Earl Grey statue but oddly she wasn’t interested in hearing about the 1832 Reform Act. Nor in hearing about why the 1867 and 1884 Reform Acts were arguably more consequential. Tough audience
