Who here is fortunate enough to not have to deal with MAGA family today?

We will be with our adult children for the day and they are like minded.

Fortunate!

Immigration officers detain Iowa school superintendent


Immigration officers detain Iowa school superintendent.
The superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools, Ian Roberts, was detained Friday for being in the US illegally. A final order of removal was issued against him last year and he had no work authorization. Roberts was found in possession of a loaded gun, a hunting knife, and $3K in cash after fleeing from immigration officers during a traffic stop. Roberts, who was born in Guyana and had entered the US in 1999 on a student visa, had led the Des Moines school district since 2023.

MAGA encounter at the gas station

I stopped to fill my car tonight ahead of the incoming tropical storm/hurricane. Hoping only TS.
Never the less, filled up ahead of time, need full tank.

I was standing there pumping gas, overheard some calling someone a b***h. Shortly a momma van pulls up to the pump opposite where I was and the old man jumps out and starts cussing up a storm. I glanced and noticed the red hat. This clown goes into a belligerent rant about this being his third pump and the b inside keeps shutting his pump off, saying she didn’t like his hat.

I looked at him and had a big grin on my face and said, well, that might tell you something about that hat.
Turned around got in my car, drove away laughing my butt off.

Wise DJ on SiriusXM

I always listen to Classic Vinyl or Classic Rewind on my 2 hour commute. You get to know a bit about the DJs along the way.
So tonight as I cruise along listening to Classic Vinyl between 5 and 6 pm eastern, the DJ comes on and is listing off upcoming concerts. After listing a weekend show in Chicago he says, we will have to see what happens with that show after the recent announcement. Followed by a geesh!

Never actually called out the coming invasion, but made it very clear how he felt.

I knew he was a cool guy, now my respect went through the roof.

His compassion is exactly what we need.
I am impressed how he is handling the tragedy in his city.

Feeding the conspiracy theorist

I work with a MAGA bot that insisted one day that schools were changing boy into girls. Even with my questions about where they were doing these surgeries, the shop, the science room or tha cafeteria.

That was a in January. Fast forward to this week. On Monday, I am having an implant inserted in my chest to monitor my heart. I was telling people at work that I needed to get chipped on Monday and not certain I would be in that day.

I told the guy believing in the school transformations that the reason I was getting chipped was because I said the cyber truck was an ugly dumpster. I said don’t say anything bad about Elon.

He actually believed me.

Military to Remove 'Enola Gay' Photos for Violating DEI Rules

Images of "Enola Gay," the aircraft that dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima in Japan are among those targeted by the U.S. military in an initiative to eliminate content related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

They are among a number of photos unrelated to DEI that have been mistakenly flagged, including those from an Army Corps of Engineers dredging project in California, seemingly because an engineer in the image had the last name "Gay."

Just how stupid is this regime?

Nancy Mace wants to censure Robert Garcia

Macy Mace office sent a survey to which I used as a reason to respond to her:

Recent remarks from Congressman Robert Garcia are deeply concerning. In response to Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) doing its work, Garcia said: "What the American public wants is for us to bring actual weapons to this bar fight. This is an actual fight for democracy.” Threatening violence is unacceptable and beneath the standards expected of a Member of Congress.

Legislation will soon be introduced to censure Congressman Garcia for this dangerous rhetoric. Reckless language from public officials must not go unchecked. Civility and respect should guide every debate in Congress.
YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED
Should Congressman Garcia be censured for his comments?
Yes
No
Unsure
Taking this survey will sign you up for future news and updates from my office.
Accountability in government matters. Every voice shapes the decisions made in Congress.
Sincerely,
Rep. Nancy Mace signature
Rep. Nancy Mace
Member of Congress

My response

Since you contacted me with a question which is a ridiculous question by the way, I have a couple for you.

Why has Congress given up their power to an immigrant who was unelected and unconfirmed through any congressional process?

If there is all this corruption in government, why not use legal procedures to root it out instead of indiscriminately firing mass numbers with no evidence presented as to the presence of fraud.?

The only answer can be that you are complicit with this illegal process. It appears that way!

Also, I want to know, what is Elon doing with my data?


Honestly, I didn’t even know Garcia insulted the snowflakes, but if he did, I approve.
