โThe stupid cunts wanna make a go fund me for the stupod bitch that got what she deserved,โ said the since-edited post, which linked to the Ross campaign. โi made one for the ice officer that did his job lets get this man some money.โ

1/๐จ๐ณ#CHINA-๐ป๐ณ#VIETNAM: PRC maritime militia buildup in the Paracel Islands
It's not just the rhetoric around the Paracel Islands that has been increasing. China moved 7 maritime militia ships to the disputed archipelago on 2 December & is now involving them in its sovereignty assertion patrols off the central Vietnam coast. [๐งต1/5]

2/There's a long history of the ๐จ๐ณ#China Coast Guard asserting Beijing's sovereignty off ๐ป๐ณ#Vietnam's central coast (west of the Paracels) & Vietnam countering with its own maritime militia. What's new is the direct involvement of China's maritime militia in these ops. [๐งต2/5]

Illinois lawmakers are pushing a backdoor gun ban. HB3320 and SB2279 would impose what amounts to a $1,600 tax per firearm, driving manufacturers out, shutting down FFLs, and pricing families out of self-defense. This isnโt safetyโitโs control. Stand up now before Illinois loses its lawful gun industry.
Illinois lawmakers are pushing two dangerous billsโHB3320 and SB2279โthat would fundamentally cripple the lawful firearm industry in our state.
Under the so-called Responsibility in Firearm Legislation Act, the state would extract nearly one billion dollars per year from firearm manufacturers. That cost doesnโt stay in Springfield. It gets passed directly to distributors, retailers, and ultimately to you.
When the math is done, this becomes an effective $1,600 excise tax on every firearm sold in Illinois.

That isnโt regulation. Itโs a financial weapon aimed at the Second Amendment.
Gun stores in Illinois already operate on thin margins. Many are family-owned businesses serving their communities for generations. They cannot survive inventory that becomes unaffordable overnight. Manufacturers will stop shipping to Illinois. Retailers will lose access to products. FFLs will close. Jobs will disappear.

โRussiaโs invasion of Ukraineโand the Western sanctions that followedโsparked a rapid expansion of the global dark fleet, an armada of more than 1,000 tankers with obscure ownership and no Western insurance, according to some analysts.

The vessels conceal their role in shipping oil by using deceptive tactics, such as switching off their radio signals to obscure their movements and transferring cargo to other vessels in poorly monitored waters.

1/๐งตSpeaking as an Army infantry combat veteran and former Special Agent who leans center-right: this isnโt partisan, itโs observational. Weโve quietly normalized militarized police, and the silence around it should worry everyone.

It changes you. Thereโs a psychological switch that flips when you put it on. You move different. You think different.

Why does insurance pay $2,500 for an MRI when the same scan costs $350 down the street?

In many cities, 1โ2 health systems control the ER, ICU, trauma care, and most specialists.
Insurers must include them in-networkโor the plan is dead on arrival.

1. People should think "wait what" when they get your email.
Subject lines are a pattern break, not a selling point.
