You know what really stings? When an account, created this month, no Premium subscription, less than 2000 followers, puts out slop like this and it gets over 500,000 impressions in less than 24 hours. I may just stop playing the game.

♥️ I love @MossbergCorp shotguns. The 990 AfterShock is on my list to acquire for home-defense.
What accessories are a must on your home defense shotgun?

ICYMI: Purple paint on trees or fence posts is a legally recognized “No Trespassing” notice in many states. Landowners can mark boundaries with vertical purple stripes instead of (or in addition to) signs. States have different requirements. Check and see what yours are.

🌟 Tyrannical Thursday 🌟 My position has been that Flock and similar entities need to be phased out. There's no room in a Constitutional Republic for this nonsense. Now I think that the agency that perpetrated this, as well as Flock, needs to be sued back to the Stone Age.
Lindsey Isaacs, a 23-year-old from Palm Coast, Florida, testified about being thrown into solitary confinement for more than three days after a Flock license-plate camera wrongly tied her Dodge Durango to a deadly I-4 crash. Jail staff told her she had to stay isolated because of how serious the charges were. The cell door stayed locked for about 86 hours. She said she was terrified she would spend the rest of her life in prison for a wreck she knew she hadn’t caused. At her lowest point she didn’t want to live. She spent nearly two weeks in maximum-security jail before prosecutors dropped the charges. Flock should be sued out of existence for this.

🌟 Tyrannical Thursday 🌟 This is what thin-skinned, retaliatory policing looks like. Not a warrant for a violent crime. Not a threat. Just a guy who recorded an officer doing something illegal and then had the nerve to say so out loud. Eight of them showed up in the dark like they were hitting a cartel house. Over a 1st Amendment protected activity. In America. @KingsportPD should pay a price for their indiscretions. WTF?
LAWSUIT: Eight officers raided his home before dawn. His offense? He filmed an officer speeding, criticized him when he got to a drive-thru, and embarrassed the department. In a free country, criticizing police shouldn’t end in handcuffs. In 2022, Joshua Gibbons filmed a Kingsport, Tennessee police SUV speeding without lights or sirens, violating state law. He caught up with the officer at a drive-thru and had salty words about his disregard for the law. That exchange lasted all of one minute. The consequences for Joshua lasted four years. After someone complained about a different video — an officer flipping Gibbons off — police scoured Gibbons’ YouTube channel for ammunition. Before dawn the next morning, while Gibbons was still in bed, eight armed officers raided his mother’s home to arrest him — for speeding using a cellphone while driving, and disorderly conduct. A judge dismissed the speeding and cellphone charges but convicted him of disorderly conduct, saying he was “offended by the way” Gibbons was “talking to that officer.” Gibbons appealed. At a second trial, a jury again found him guilty. In June, the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals unanimously reversed that conviction and dismissed the charge. The court found “no evidence” that Gibbons’ criticism prevented anyone from doing anything lawful. The court recognized — as many courts had held — that even “profane and insulting” words alone aren’t a crime, especially when directed at police officers, who are trained to exercise restraint. With FIRE’s help, Gibbons is suing to vindicate his First Amendment rights. The First Amendment protects your right to film and criticize police. Kingsport PD needs to hear that message loud and clear.

🌟 Tyrannical Thursday 🌟 Many cops suffer from ID Addiction. This addiction is worse than heroin or meth. We need to help them get treatment. Learn the symptoms. Don't feed the habit. Know when to say no! Watch this Jeff Gray compilation. 🤣 piped.video/watch?v=TG00HiaO…

I never paid that much attention, but his breasts are almost as big as hers.
We have not forgotten that ICE murdered Renee Goode and Alex Pretti.

It's an election year. @RepCasar is milking this for all it's worth. Note that he never once has shown up when someone is killed by an illegal alien. This is intentional. Vote accordingly.
This is a shameless fabrication from @RepCasar.     The illegal alien is receiving around-the-clock medical care, including pain medications.   It is longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters @ICEgov custody, including 24-hour emergency care. ICE has higher detention standards than most American prisons that hold actual American citizens.

Watching John Thune announce that Republicans are “delivering on our agenda” is the same cheap parlor trick as Kamala Harris looking America dead in the eye and declaring the border secure — right before the cameras cut to thousands of unvetted people pouring across it.
Republicans have spent the last two years delivering on our agenda. More money in your pocket. Safer streets. More opportunities to get ahead. Democrats have spent much of the last two years opposing our goals at every turn.
Community note
The 119th congress was the least productive in history - No congress has enacted less legislation or laws. Johnson has cancelled a total 63 scheduled voting days in the house, granting members an extra 2 months PTO, with no house votes scheduled until after the election. govtrack.us/congress/bills… ms.now/news/dhs-shutd… snopes.com/fact-check/mik… cbsnews.com/news/house-can…

🌟 WTF? Wednesday 🌟 Celebrating women in law enforcement. This is brand-new Officer Jimenez of the Brazosport ISD (TX) Police Department. I assume she's assigned to the elementary school so she can see eye to eye with the kids. C'mon, man. That flag needs to go, too.

Your phone already has the switches to kill most robocalls and scam texts. For free! @FCC just dropped dead-simple how-tos for Android, iPhone, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon. 5 minutes. Do yours. Share it. Text it to your parents. Thank me later. fcc.gov/blockit

What kind of soulless ghoul works in a lab doing experiments on puppies? My conscious would never allow me to perpetrate what amounts to violence on an innocent animal who can't defend itself.

“The Bolsheviks pursued power under the slogan ‘All Power to the Constituent Assembly.’ But when the elections took place, they got 25 percent of the vote, and so they dispersed the Constituent Assembly.” --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn This is a lesson. Pay attention.

🌟 Technology Tuesday 🌟 If you are too young to have been on the ground floor of the computer revolution, words can't describe how glorious those days were. You won't understand. It was the best of times, never to be replicated. In 1979, a 14-year-old from Fort Worth taught himself to code on a $499 Radio Shack TRS-80. Then Ralph Lipe wrote a program that filled out IRS Form 1040-A. By high school, he was already working as a computer consultant. The "Trash-80" launched August 3, 1977, as one of the “1977 trinity” with the Apple II and Commodore PET, and it was the one you could actually walk into a store and buy assembled. The TRS-80 was one of the first computers you could actually walk into a store and buy. That is how a generation got started. What was your first computer? #TRS80 #RetroComputing

🌟 Technology Tuesday 🌟 I was online at 300 baud with this when I was 14. It lived on my Commodore 64. The early 1980s feel like a century ago. I will always have the memories. Anyone here old enough to remember Bulletin Board Systems (BBS)? I ran one of those with this, too!
