From: retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn Dear Mr. @POTUS, I know you are listening to We the People. This message is sent on behalf of a very frustrated 79 million Americans who voted for you and millions more who refuse to be ignored. Therefore, we are designating 2026 as THE YEAR OF ACCOUNTABILITY! Why now? Because the country is at a breaking point. Our freedoms are being chipped away in plain sight. Our government has grown bloated, arrogant, and unaccountable. Public trust has not merely...

"Theodore Roosevelt spoke openly about the formation of an American race. He understood that the English, the Scots, the Germans, the Dutch, the Swedes, the Irish, and other European peoples who came to these shores were being fused together into something new. Not a proposition. Not an idea. A race. A people. A new branch on the great tree of European Christian civilization, distinct from its parent stocks yet unmistakably of the same family. "Roosevelt wrote that the American people were beco...

A guy is walking along a beach when he comes across a lamp. He picks it up, rubs it where upon a genie appears in a puff of smoke. ''God damn it!!'' Exclaims the genie, ''I'm being found too damn often. You can only have one wish'' he says, looking at the man. '' Choose carefully now'' So the bloke thinks about this before saying to the genie. ''I have a sister who lives in america, but i am scared of flying. Can you build me a bridge so i can drive over and see her?'' ''Your having a laugh''...

It amazes me how many binary thinkers there are out there. Here are some examples... I say Ukraine is run by criminals and they're not the "good guys" in this war. If I say something like that, I am immediately called a "Putin lover." That's binary thinking, and it's wrong thinking. I say Israel has gone too far with the bombing of Gaza. Then I am accused of supporting Hamas and terrorism. That's binary thinking, and it's wrong thinking. I say Trump has made a terrible mistake by supporting I...

(from Starlink Reddit) Have you tried turning it off and back on again? - obligatory IT Crowd And I'm old enough to remember why. If you asked if it was turned on then people would automatically lie because they don't want to admit they are an idiot. But if you ask them to turn it off and back on again quite a lot of the time it was "oh, it wasn't on" or you only heard a single click and magically it's working. It's psychology to let the id10t user blame the technology instead of themselves....

Recently, Oregon ranchers Larry and Amanda Anderson received a letter by the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife asking for permission to survey their land in order to track a nearly endangered species. The letter requested use of the landowners’ creek to document the amphibian life represented, specifically the foothill yellow-legged frog which is noted to have recently declined in population. If the Anderson’s agreed to give the department access, they were ensured as being responsible fo...

42 Lessons 'To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the "42 lessons life taught me". It is the most requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more... ' Regina Brett: Life isn't fair, but it's still good. When in doubt, just take the next small step. Life is too short – enjoy it. Your job won't take care of you if you get sick. Your friends and family will. Pay off your credit cards every month. You don't have to win every argument...

This election is not a junior high or high school popularity contest. I'm not voting for the person, I'm voting for the platform. I'm voting for the second amendment. I'm voting for the next Supreme Court justice. I'm voting for the electoral college. I'm voting for the republic in which we live. I'm voting for the police—and law and order. I'm voting for the military and the veterans who fought and died for this country. I'm voting for the flag that is often miss...

"We tolerated President Obama for 8 years, and Biden for 4. Here is my issue with the whole, “let us all be a United States again” that we heard from President Biden. - author unknown For the prior 4+ years, the Democrats have gone scorched earth. You have salted the fields and now you want to grow crops. The problem is 75+ million of us have memories longer than a hamster. We remember the women’s march (vagina hats and all) the day after inauguration. We remember the 4 years of attacks and imp...

They call us "The Elderly" We were born in the 40-50-60’s. We grew up in the 50-60-70's. We studied in the 60-70-80's. We were dating in the 70-80-90's. We got married and discovered the world in the 70-80-90's. We venture into the 80-90’s. We stabilize in the 2000’s. We got wiser in the 2010’s. And we are going firmly through and beyond 2020. Turns out we've lived through EIGHT different decades... TWO different centuries... TWO different millennia... We have gone from the telephon...

"It has been my observation that people today are more likely than in times past to dismiss something as "fake" that they do not understand out of ignorance and unwillingness to take the time to learn. They THINK they understand that thing, but really, they do not. This is known as the Dunning-Kruger effect. We live in an age of instant gratification now more than ever before where communication, access to information (both true and false), and psyop propaganda are all constant and literally rig...

An old woman walked up and tied her old mule to the hitching post. As she stood there, brushing some of the dust from her face and clothes, a young gunslinger stepped out of the saloon with a gun in one hand and a bottle of whiskey in the other. The young gunslinger looked at the old woman and laughed, "Hey old woman, have you ever danced?" The old woman looked up at the gunslinger and said, "No,... I never did dance... Never really wanted to." A crowd had gathered as the gunslinger grinned and...

One of the most common things we hear is: “I’m not doing anything wrong, so why should I care about privacy?”  Here’s why:  Privacy isn’t about hiding; it’s about protecting your freedom. Think of privacy not as a cloak, but as the space you need to be yourself. It's the freedom to have a messy, imperfect, private life without fear of judgment or consequences. It’s the freedom to explore ideas, to question, and even to make mistakes, knowing that those moments are yours alone.  Data harvester...
