Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.
Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.
These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.
This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.
Every American should reject it.

Is anyone tired of this game of chicken that seems to go on every year? What happens to a business that doesn't pay it's workers? Our spending seems to be the same or increasing while at the same time, all of the programs that do good are being cut.

The politics of the last few years feels like the novel Kaleidoscope Century by John Barnes which should be a cautionary tale of what could be.

How easy it it these days for the Tactical Cool folks to slap 3 letters on their chest and abduct you off the street without showing any sort of ID and do what they want, not required to show faces or ID by government agents is terrifying.

I'm wondering when they're going to start grabbing people who can't prove they are citizens and deporting them? Hitting the homeless encampments where people don't have any sort of ID.

Memorial Day used to be just a day of remembering friends who died protecting our nation but that number was overtaken by fellow service members with unseen injuries who took their own lives, way too many were here on my friends list. If you're thinking about doing that, please talk to someone.

Evolution gene editors used old black market 23 and me data from the 20s matched the DNA with the social media and public records data on those people. Let the AI match the best characteristics individually across multiple generations and gene lines.

I was having a nightmare that I was at Walmart paying for the items in my cart and they kept multiplying and adding items that I didn't pick out and my dream self realized that a ghost was adding items. I woke up and thought, oh yeah, my kids do that.
