Jessy and Lobotomy this, interesting read, might be a good argument to bring it back, but then again, it might also be a detrimental effort….

Meanwhile.... in New York: Men with tiny penises wearing dresses, proving that Democrats all belong in mental institutions all across the country

These sanctuary city politicians complain about federal officers in their cities, far-left agitators comparing the feds to Nazis. News flash, if your leaders wouldn't have harbored illegals, let criminals have free reign, and turned a blind eye to massive fraud and corruption, the feds wouldn't be there in the first place. You made your bed, and now you have to lie in it! With that said, I still believe the heavy handed tactics by some of the federal officers are unwarranted. The intention is admirable, the technique leaves something less than desired. Tragic, but this is the world we now live in.

Authorities were alerted to the music store at first by strange noises reported by neighboring houses. Turns out it was just the monkey trying to play Stairway to Heaven but was denied.

I do not support the new direction of the "America First" movement. The Nazi Germany like foreign policy of invading and conquering countries around the world, to steal resources, and in Trump's case, to make big corporations richer and abandoning regular citizens, is not what Conservative values are about.

Conservatism is about putting an end to decades of endless wars, engaging in diplomacy and respecting international laws and defending ourselves when we are attacked or if we have evidence that we're about to be attacked, it's peace through strength, Conservativism is about putting an end to the Neo con ideology of nation building and illegal occupations.

Conservativism is about caring for your fellow Americans, keeping Government out of your front yard, keeping it small, so small that you can't even tell it exists, and embracing a Christian way of life of morals.

The new direction of 'America First' is no longer aimed to see regular citizens prosper or international peace, 'America First' is now aimed to enrich oil executives and embracing the Bush/Cheney doctrine of endless wars.

The new 'America First' Policies, especially in foreign policy, is now all about catering to Trump's ego and his rich Corporate friends.

This, is something that I cannot support, President Trump and his Regime, are corporate snakes and this new 'America First', will never align to my Conservative values.

Seen on the news article:NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s first big move—appointing Lillian Bonsignore as FDNY Commissioner.

She’s a respected 31-year FDNY veteran who led EMS through COVID and the 9/11 response…

But she has never served as a firefighter.

In the announcement clip, the focus is heavily on her being a “trailblazer for the LGBTQ community” and the first openly gay FDNY commissioner—with Bonsignore herself saying experience fighting fires “won’t matter.”

Priorities highlighted: identity, pay parity for EMS, and historic firsts.

But when lives hang in the balance during a blaze, does the leader of the world’s bravest need actual firefighting command experience—or is symbolism enough?

NYC firefighters risk everything daily. They deserve a boss who’s been in the flames, not just checking boxes.

Merit over identity—or is this the future? Another form of DEI, I presume?

I discovered a new synthpop band called BLACKBOOK and they're not AI thankfully. They appear to be a real band and touring with Mesh and other really good artists. Super cool. I'm pretty skeptical of any bands that come out post-2024 at this point. Spotify keeps recommending AI shit to me, which is infuriating and I've stopped paying for their service now. Love this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5voK5F3KmPA

Don’t let anyone bully you into thinking you’re pretentious just because you read and know things. If more of us spent time passionately pursuing knowledge in books and libraries, we wouldn’t be suffering a literacy crisis.
