If you didn't already know, Musk is scum. Unfortunately, I am sure the ones we are taking from his homeland are aliens from the same mother ship.

Tip on protecting yourself from Musk's gathering of personal data:

Cancel your X/Twitter account and stop posting, so data can't be cross-checked and you can't be flagged in systems as a dissenter. Unfortunately, everything you ever posted can be weaponized against you.

I might be the canary in the coal mine here, chirping out the fact that nefarious actors are watching what is being posted...

Unfortunately, being the canary is usually a thankless job. People only listen to you when you stop making noise...

The Heritage Foundation is going out to hold people accountable for online activity. It seems that social media accounts are lower hanging fruit than Wikipedia...

This is scary, but we know how such regimes work (Google, "Germany in the 1930s").

So many possible implications, potentially harming so many. I guess we'll see where this goes.

So, if your organization has a federal grant and you have to make a draw-down for funds, do it this morning, as it goes into effect at 5 p.m. ET, today (Tuesday).

Along with eliminating discrimination protections, waging war against immigrants and asylum seekers, attacking heathcare, and the other shock and awe measures, there were pardons and commutations for the insurrectionists he called into action.

And the fake fury around Biden's pardons continues...

Happy “Trump Returns to the Scene of the Crime Day” to all who celebrate.

Thank God, but Mad Mango and his band of deranged sycophants will find a way to persecute those who stood for the nation.

I hope there are such people/patriots waiting to act in the sequel, but all attempts are being made to make sure that people with morals and integrity are locked out.

As fate approaches, I am sharing the farewell address of our first POTUS, who stepped aside and retired from office - www.battlefields.org/learn/primar.... He spoke of fights to come (which have come) to maintain freedoms and our form of government.

We failed. Today is not a day of celebration.
January 20, 2025 at 10:39 AM
The day that matters.

Those who thought society would stand against evils, hopefully, have woken up to truth. The other side - oppressors and those who silently support their efforts - have awakened.

It is time to get to work, fighting darkness as it tries to extinguish the promise of light.

As we celebrate MLK on Monday... also remember a POTUS who stepped up.

At the store, I had a conversation with a guy in the check-out line about protein and junk carbs, the products we like and don't like, and the chemicals in everything.

When I told my wife about it, I said he was an "older guy." He was about the same age as I am, if not younger.

Reality sucks.
