The dishwasher died. Tried to get a pump replacement but the model is so old, they don't make them anymore, so had to replace the whole thing.

Told them before they came "We will give you masks to wear and will mee you out front." 👇 They showed up - two nice young guys. I helped them fit the masks but they tried to act like they couldn't do it -

"I can't breath" one of them said.

I said "Yes you can you're just having and emotional reaction. Tighten up that strap and let s get you to work."

Not quite:

The *officer corps* take NO oath to obey orders. In fact we were taught we had a specific duty to *disobey* illegal & unConstitutional orders.

The *enlisted* corps, *do* have obey as part of their oath.

The Officer Corps are the check & balance against rogues. 👇 Officers' Oath of Office:

"Off the top of my head, I can list numerous women among my acquaintances - or acquaintances of acquaintances - who have discovered that their (male) partners were living secret lives.

Such malevolent secrecy is not just a betrayal of trust, love 👇 and the terms on which relationships are agreed. It’s a way of men sabotaging the very foundations of every aspect of women’s lives, and I think that many men gain a great deal of satisfaction from undermining their wives like this.

The ever-prescient Sarah Kendzior - she's been right every step of the way

"There is a high level of bullshit involved in proclaiming “this election may be your last” every four years and then doing little but fundraising off fear. But that doesn’t change that the GOP 👇 threats that the Democrats describe are real. I’ve faced them since my Reagan-era childhood, and watched Democrats defer to them since then, too.

It also doesn’t change that a remarkably bipartisan lack of concern over protecting Americans from sedition, pandemics, climate 👇

The DNC have failed to provide one.

The #CopMalaBidenAdmin had 4 years to toss El Cheeto & crew into GITMO & weld shut the doors. We've done that to brown teenagers who are still there on *suspicion* of terrorism - never mind an insurrection all of the world saw live.

Masks fail like condoms - the risk is much higher in Airborne AIDS. You don't engage when pos and we arrested positive people who did for assault because they knew and we knew they were willfully infecting others. You know you have COVID when you test - just like HIV/AIDS . THe DNC refused to do test and trace.

Behaviour - going to a superspreader thereby supporting the superspreader is bad behaviour which leads to contracting the virus and spreading it to others and giving the impression it's no big deal - which *does* make you a bad person.

Focus, People.

Oppose the Heritage Foundation. They're a 501c3 corporation. Under that IRS code they aren't allowed to participate in politics, & that includes publishing political manifestos designed specifically to dismantle the Bill of Rights and the rest of the Constitution. 1. Download the Project 2025 pdf from the website & attach it to IRS Form 13909

2. and challenge their tax exempt status.

Here's their EIN # 23-7327730

They want a second American revolution? Fine. *Take* it to them ! Money is the only weapon.

10-year-old girl found dead on sofa hours after feeling sick

"On the day preceding her death on May 30, Debbie had advised her daughter to rest after she started feeling sick and vomited.

She revealed that the night before Shaylisha's death, she was experiencing severe pain alongside stomach aches. The young girl managed little sleep and continued to vomit the

Oh - swell.

"The NHS has warned nearly 150,000 patients that criminals could attempt to blackmail them after their health records were published online.

NHS Dumfries and Galloway is to send out leaflets to all patients in the region to advise them of the “extremely serious” situation, in which it admits test results, internal correspondence about them and complaints records are likely to have been stolen in a cyber attack.

"It's preposterous to say that the COVID vaccines are causing the increase of deaths on their own... But what is not preposterous is that the mRNA vaccines do not protect people enough... and that's the problem.

.... they did protect people at the start of the pandemic from death, they actually only delayed it. .... mRNA was essentially only allowing 1 or 2 infections until you were in severe damage territory. ... we see that reflected in our excess mortality data...

This is from 2020 - I wonder if there are any n ew studies?

"In a letter to the editor in the American Journal of Infection Control, researchers from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine and Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center compared how well rice-cooker steam and equivalent levels of dry heat killed staph bacteria and bacteriophage MS2 viruses on cloth masks and N95 masks (2020, DOI: 10.1016/j.ajic.2020.04.012). The researchers found that a heat-and-steam cycle of about 60 °C for 15 min in the rice cooker was far superior for
