The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.

Busy day at our house! Dogs were barking up a storm. Looked at the video and we had a lot of visitors. Deer, squirrel, another one on the right side grass by my neighbors house, birds, bees, and a rabbit. 🦌 🐦 🐝 🐇

Happy #internationalflatday! Earlier this year I had a double mastectomy & went flat. I’m grateful to be alive. It’s also Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so get those bodacious tatas checked! Now it’s time for bed: no makeup, no contacts, & no boobs. Just me. Wishing you all a peaceful night. 🩷

Imagine a Democrat president & the official White House posting this. There would be an outcry for impeachment. But this has republiCONs laughing it off & telling us to chill. This has been raised to a level of numbness for those people that will absolutely end in a Stephen King novel scenario.

Wore this to the grocery store the other day and got two hugs. One girl was shaking so bad. She said no one in our town supports her. I let her know I’m always there for her and where to find me if she needs to talk. I am so worried for our country.

Dismantling FEMA is in Project 2025.
My question is; at this point, why would any state pay federal taxes? Our tax money should only go to our states to protect ourselves. We are no longer the United States of America and are only ameriKKKa.
