The reason Veterans Day is on November 11 is to coincide with Armistice Day, the day that World War I ended.

Because the best way to honor veterans is to let them live, and to stop using them as fodder.
We honor veterans by ending the wars, so that they can come home, where they belong.

We honor veterans by ending the VA and giving the money directly to them, and ending the torture of making them jump through hoops and beg for the care they were promised.
We honor veterans by acknowledging that nearly 10% of our prison population are veterans, ending the wars on drugs and guns that sent most of them there, and expunging their records (as well as every other victim of those wars) so they can reclaim their lives.
We honor veterans by letting them access life-saving treatments that are currently illegal for many of them due to the war on drugs.

We honor veterans by ending the Fed, so that the government can't print out endless money to finance endless wars and endless caging.
This short list just scratches the surface of what we can, and should, do to honor our veterans.

This Veterans Day, join me in resolving yourself to truly honoring them, with actions and not just words.

Yesterday, I met with my friend @JonathanCHowe to talk about his run for Congress.
Jonathan decided to run to represent NY14 when he saw government force COVID patients into nursing homes, lock his neighborhood in their homes, shut down local businesses, and cause immeasurable loss and suffering which continues to this day.
Now, he's seeing them forcing vaccine passports and tracking systems on the city, with more promised to come from the federal government.

As a Public Defender in Bronx County Family Court, Jonathan has seen the incredible pain and difficulty these policies cause every day.

Last night, @Tomfor52 and I, along with volunteers for his campaign, walked through downtown Oneonta NY and talked with business owners, employees and patrons about Tom's vision for a freer, happier and more prosperous New York. ImageImageImageImage
We ended the night with a great fundraiser at a local restaurant.

Every time I listen to Tom, I'm struck by how quickly he's able to connect with people, no matter their background. The reason why is obvious: he's not a politician.
He's an who assists disabled people in becoming self-reliant and independent.

He's a leader in the liberty movement who is helping to grow the party by leaps and bounds.

He's an everyday human being, trying to help his fellow man.

He's exactly what New York needs.

From pre-K to university, the primary purpose of government schooling is to normalize the state and its mechanisms to the point where we see it as being as necessary as food or water.

As long as government runs education, it will continue to grow and impose itself further on us.
All of these debates over CRT, trans kids in sports, etc. are easily resolved by just letting parents choose what and how their kids are taught, instead of being robbed to pay for one-size-fits-all schooling.

But then, they can't condition kids to accept being subjugated.
The current government narrative on schooling is "you shouldn't have a say in what and how your kids are being taught."

Soon it will be "they're really our kids more than they are yours."

As with everything else, it will continue to get worse until we stop going along with it.

In my "BazookaJew" photoshoot from last weekend, I took great pains to make sure that I was never pointing the "bazooka" (AT4) at anyone, and that no one was behind the "unsafe zone" in the back of it.

Despite the fact that it's a single-use weapon that had been fired long ago.
Trigger discipline needs to be ingrained obsessively into your head, or you shouldn't be holding a firearm. Period.

Yes this is in response to Alec Baldwin, but it's not specific to him. Folks need to stop treating guns like props. If you can't help yourself, get another hobby.
1. Treat every gun as though it is always loaded.

2. Never point a gun at anything you don't want to destroy.

3. Keep your finger off the damn trigger until you're ready to shoot.

4. Be sure of your target and what lies beyond it.

Follow these rules or stay away from guns.

.@NatalieBruno is running for Governor of Oklahoma. I couldn't be more proud to endorse her.

Her top priorities:

- Ensure OK never has a lockdown or health mandate under her watch
- End the war on drugs in OK
- End jail/prison overcrowding by freeing victimless crime convicts
- Get government out of education and put choices and money back in the hands of parents
- End taxes on all healthcare services

And that's just to start.

Natalie believes no one makes choices for you as well as you can. That's why she will get state government out of your way.
Want to help Natalie set OK free? Here are 3 things you can do right now:

1. Follow @NatalieBruno.

2. Go to Natalie's website and donate or become a volunteer at ElectNatalieBruno.com.

3. RT to help spread Natalie's message of freedom.

YOU are the Power.
