Throughout history, mankind has accepted failings of those who, by hook or crook, or by force or elections, have become leaders in Tribes, Society or of our Nations.

We accept their excuses because as individuals we feel powerless to do anything else.

This must end. The question presents itself, at this point, of how we get these very people who create our laws, to pass laws holding them accountable for their misconduct?

In the U.S., this is only possible, at the State level, through citizen initiated State Constitutional Amendments.

“Fake news” 🧵

The Nazi’s in Germany began their run for power with a campaign called “Lügenpresse.” It translates from German as “lying press.”

It’s not the first time it’s been used by a political movement in history. Its history is interesting.

nationalpost.com/news/world/the… From October 2016:

“BERLIN — When a video of two Donald Trump supporters shouting “Luegenpresse” (lying press) started to circulate Sunday, viewers from Germany soon noted its explosive nature. The defamatory word was most frequently used in Nazi Germany.”

If China suddenly stopped exporting to the U.S., a lot of products essential to daily life would be hit hard. Some major categories include:

What effect will the GOP 2025 Budget have on the Nursing Home Industry?

AI Response:

Losing $880 billion in Medicaid payments over the next ten years could have significant implications for the nursing home industry. Here are some potential effects: 1. **Financial Strain**: Nursing homes often rely heavily on Medicaid for funding, as many residents qualify for assistance. A reduction in Medicaid payments could lead to financial instability for facilities, potentially resulting in closures or reduced services.

The effect of the Republican (GOP) budget on nursing homes in 2025 is a topic of significant concern, though specific outcomes depend on the final details of the budget, which are still under negotiation as of April 10, 2025. Based on current proposals and analyses, here’s what can be reasonably anticipated:

The GOP-led House of Representatives passed a budget resolution in February 2025 that includes substantial cuts to federal spending, notably directing the

I’ve been researching case law for 34 years. If you’ll allow me, I’d like to give you some information that will help you research better.

I know the vast majority of people who support Trump are Patriots and believe in America.

I also know, from my research, that some of the people, both online and who are closely associated with Trump, have lied to you about different things.

I want to explain how they are doing this, and how you can find out whether it is the people you have trusted who or lying, or the people you call liberals

The Capitol riot, officially known as the January 6 United States Capitol attack, occurred on January 6, 2021. Here are key details:

- **Date**: January 6, 2021
- **Location**: United States Capitol, Washington, D.C. - **Context**: The riot took place as a joint session of Congress was convening to certify the 2020 presidential election results, where Joe Biden was declared the winner over incumbent Donald Trump.

**Key Events:**

The “value” of Bitcoin:

…”Currency” was a result of long distance bartering being inadequate where different geographical areas required different products.

The value of the currency was based on the value of the products produced by the society supporting that currency. 1/3 There are no products supporting Bitcoin.

Its value is based solely on marketing convincing people to buy it.

Thus, its value is purely subjective.

Owners must convince other people to want it, or it has no value because no product producing society is behind it. 2/3

On August 22, 2024, at 7:35 AM, Sen. Chris Murphy reported on @MSNBC @MorningJoe, that the day before the vote on the Border Bill in the United States Senate, there were 20 Republican Senators committed to voting for the Bill that had been negotiated by Republican Sen. Langford and others.

Sen. Murphy then stated:

“That night Stephen Miller tweeted out ‘Kill the Bill,’ and by the following morning 16 of those 20 Republican Senators had changed their position and would vote against the Bill.”

There is little press coverage of Stephen Miller.

I asked him if he had ever watched “Active Measures.” I told him it was free on Hulu, but available a lot of places. He said no.

He asked me what it was about.

I told him is about Trump and Russia. I said that it’s an excellent documentary with John McCain, Michael McFaul, Hillary Clinton and others in it, and that it was really well

The sad part about this statement is that it divides us into “us and them,” and is exactly what foreign State sponsored disinformation accounts on here seek to achieve.

In fact, it’s the whole strategy of the “Handbook of Russian Information Warfare.” In 2012, President Xi of China, ordered the United Front to update its Information Warfare capabilities. That was completed in 2018.

They adopted and trained United Front agents in the Russian FSB strategy. The FSB is Vladimir Putin’s former organization.
