I just watched a movie named "Grizzly Rage" and don't care if they had 10 more hot chicks like Kate Todd in that movie it couldn't save the overly predictable lame storyline and terrible cinematography. Seriously did they steal their bear scenes from the hit TV series of the 60s named Gentle Ben?

You've avoided nearly all of my questions, Norah, because you're literally incapable of answering them. Your mind is firmly closed to any evidence or facts that undermine your preferred narrative. You consider it immoral for anyone to even question you, even though you voluntarily and confidently entered this discussion. You're like a flat-earther. Nothing I or anyone else says to you will permeate your stubborn quasi-religious beliefs, because to change your mind would take away a core part of your self image, which is as somebody who is kinder and better and more righteous than the nasty people still advocating for the safety of women and girls.
You repeat your thought-terminating clichés and unevidenced assertions, which I assume sound clever inside your echo chamber, but which, outside it, make you appear not only dim, but a total moral vacuum. Increased risk to females? Who cares. Women threatened by violence? Of course those poor trans-identified men lash out when they meet resistance! What is a gender identity? You can't really say, but like the flat-earther, you're sure it exists, because your tribe is held together by belief in it, and pride themselves on their blind faith in it.
I keep waiting for a single gender ideologue or trans activist to truly engage with the facts, but all of you sheer away from them like horses from fireworks. It truly is like talking to cult members who're incapable of engaging in rational debate and just keep chanting the mantras, consigning all serious questions to the 'evil' bin.
I've been told I'm on the wrong side of history thousands of times. By debating people like you, I've come to realise that your ilk's idea of the 'right side of history' means stripping women and girls' of their rights, excusing male violence against women, siding with those issuing death and rape threats and attempting to suppress critical thought and freedom of speech.
Maybe, like the flat-earthers, you genuinely think history will vindicate you. I believe people will look back on this period and analyse your arguments, not because they admire them, but because they're trying to fathom how so many supposedly intelligent people fell, hook, line and sinker for a bunch of vacuous, post-modern, pseudo-intellectual cobblers, while being completely indifferent to the real world harm they were enabling.

🚨 THE COAL COUNTRY BETRAYAL. How Kentucky Power, SOAR, and connected politicians are using your sky-high bills and tax dollars to fund out-of-state transplants while your neighbors do fundraisers so grandma doesn’t lose power for her oxygen. Eastern Kentucky, open your electric bill, then look at what SOAR is proudly posting.
Five Eastern Kentucky counties partnered with MakeMyMove to recruit remote workers. SOAR’s own pages show the new residents come from Maryland, Florida, Arizona, and South Carolina with an average household income of $125,200. The local average is about $32,000. Over 1,100 people have moved in through the program.
SOAR Executive Director Colby Hall publicly thanked Kentucky Power for funding the pilot. That is ratepayer money—your money used as a match to unlock more public funds. The same sites promote Catalyze EKY for tech founders and entrepreneurs, again powered by SOAR, MakeMyMove, and Kentucky Power, with cash incentives starting at $5,000 and packages valued over $15,000. Leadership and funding are listed as coming from the Kentucky General Assembly and the Kentucky Power partnership.
While that happens, state data shows Pike County, Letcher County, and other Eastern Kentucky counties continue losing population from aging and outmigration. Central and metro areas grow. The official response has been to import people making roughly four times the local median, give them housing guides so they can buy homes, and celebrate when those purchases raise property taxes by taking homes that previously qualified for the homestead exemption.
Here is how it hits the community:
• Local teachers, deputies, nurses, and service workers get zero cash to stay. Transplants get thousands plus relocation support.
• New higher-income buyers compete for the limited housing that already exists. Locals get outbid or priced out of their own towns.
• Kentucky Power lost coal customers. Instead of focusing on rate relief for the people still on the system, ratepayer-backed cash goes toward recruiting wealthier new ratepayers who will spend more on utilities.
• Data centers and high-load tech get the red-carpet treatment and tax breaks. Everyday families get the rate hikes and grid upgrade costs.
• People tied to SOAR, its boards, partners, and related real-estate or “economic development” projects benefit from the activity, the grants, the matches, and the new buyers. Your taxes and utility surcharges supply the local match that keeps the grants flowing.
• Meanwhile, neighbors are running fundraisers because grandma is on oxygen and about to have her power shut off. She is not getting a $5,000–$10,000 check. She is getting a disconnection notice.
This is not building community. It is a publicly funded pipeline that treats existing residents as an afterthought. Local fiscal courts and officials who maintain ties to SOAR or AEP keep approving the local tax matches and partnerships that make it possible. They choose the transplant incentive and the pet projects over raising wages for county workers, fixing rural water lines, or keeping the lights on for the people who already live here.
Stop funding your own displacement. Ask your fiscal court for the exact dollar amounts of local tax money paid into MakeMyMove or Catalyze EKY.
SOAR: Shitting On Appalachian Roots. #NewKentuckyHome #TeamKentucky
A new report predicts a significant decline in Pike County’s population, from 54,721 in 2025 to a mere 35,545 by 2050. Similar declines are anticipated in Johnson County (from 22,051 to 18,150), Martin County (from 10,697 to 7,097), and Magoffin County (from 11,110 to 7,565).
Eastern Kentucky is experiencing a concerning rate of population loss. Several factors contribute to this decline, including preventable deaths due to poor nutrition and inadequate healthcare, the ongoing drug crisis, the passing of the Boomer generation, young families struggling to afford children, and the exodus of residents due to data center expansions, rising power costs, landfills, and short-sighted leadership that prioritizes special interests over the well-being of our communities.

Tish James was absolutely annihilated and embarrassed by @sarithaforny during their AG debate.
It’s time for a new perspective in the AG office. Unfortunately, the group of people currently occupying these seats don’t want to give them up.

We may not be able to vote for the bureaucrats directly who are impacting our lives through ORES…
But we can vote for the NY governor today. And we can vote for our town supervisors. Many of you statewide tell me that the rot goes down to the local level. Everything starts locally in our country. It was designed to function in that way.
ORES was created because of a one party rule chokehold on our state legislature that hasn’t been challenged in years. Our government functions best with balance, always. It needs balance from the left AND right.
We want our home rule back. @GovKathyHochul refuses to give it.

I am a woman. I have a daughter. I’m disgusted by the surge in violence against women in the last five years that our Attorney General and Governor have overseen.
A woman was stabbed in the neck jogging along a busy area of Brooklyn this week. A woman was raped at knifepoint in Central Park last week. A woman was stabbed to death in Times Square walking to work on her first day back from maternity leave last summer. Assaults are up. Domestic violence is up. Strangulation is up. Orders of protection are up. And they’ve increased each year for the last five years.
This is happening because the leaders we currently have in Albany are not taking the steps necessary to put repeat offenders behind bars and get the severely mentally ill into treatment.
I think we should elect people based on their ideas and whether they’re doing a good job. Please keep violence against women in mind this Election Day and vote for a safer New York.
NEW: In a joint sit down with @MarieClaire, Governor @KathyHochul and @AdrienneEAdams talk about childcare, leading in the Trump era, and the history they’re making as New York’s first all woman ticket.

Advice from the man who is responsible for a state that is:
# 1 in homelessness
# 1 in fraud
# 1 in gas prices
# 1 in poverty
# 1 in funding for illegal immigrants
# 1 in NGOs
I’d do the exact opposite of whatever this guy says.

Our governor is endorsing a woman who made sure a NICU nurse who abused NINE preemie babies (she broke their bones!) will only serve three of the 45 years the judge wanted her to have.
FIRED UP and ready to send @ShannonTaylorVA to Congress! 🔥
Shannon will take on the corruption and reckless decisions in Washington that are skyrocketing costs, threatening healthcare, and hurting families in Virginia’s 1st District.
Election Day is Tuesday. Get out and VOTE.

Komatireddy is a former federal prosecutor and served as Chief of Staff of the Drug Enforcement Administration during the Biden administration. She says public safety should be the top priority for the attorney general's office and believes greater attention should be paid to quality-of-life concerns and repeat offenders. bronx.news12.com/letitia-jam…

Senator Warren, I grew up in Mass, graduated from BC, your support for this Jew hater disgusts me. After terrorist drives Van into Michigan Temple to kill 140 children, your candidate says" hurt people do hurt things" How can you justify and support this Senator? @SenSchumer
.@AbdulElSayed is a fighter, and he’s offering something people haven’t felt from Washington in a long time: hope. He’ll fight to get big money out of politics, put more money in your pocket, and pass Medicare for All. Big money is loud, but it isn’t unbeatable—and we can prove it.

After ORES denied the Shepherd’s Run Solar permit in Copake, New York, over floodplain compliance issues, it was discovered that Fort Edward Solar is another ORES-permitted project with the same FEMA Zone A flood designation within its project footprint.
We (American Land Rescue Fund) went ahead and had the FEMA floodplain map overlaid on the Fort Edward Solar project map.
These materials are not compiled or released by the foreign solar corporations or New York State.
Why? They don’t want you to see this map… it shows the insanity behind the siting of these solar complexes.
On top of the fact an inverter will be located inside a floodplain, this solar complex is sited for one of the last grasslands of its kind (the Washington County Grasslands) throughout the entire Northeast. A significant amount of state-endangered and threatened birds, raptors, animals, and plants live here.
Based off the precedent just set in Copake, NY, it’s time to relinquish the permit to Fort Edward Solar.
I won’t stop until the grasslands are freed.

ATX NEEDLE EXCHANGE- I confronted the Texas Harm Reduction Alliance, that’s been handing out NEEDLES and GLASS PIPES to drug users in Austin.
Turns out they’ve been receiving $5.8 MILLION in city funding, with their executive director acting completely shocked when I mentioned it.
I then pulled up the receipts, forcing them to admit they have indeed been receiving millions since 2021.
THRA is a “harm reduction” center (similar to the programs in San Francisco and Portland that have led to needles and glass pipes littering the street) they state they don’t use city funding to buy said supplies, however, the city is funding their entire organization and multiple surrounding businesses have complained of the drug users that THRA has attracted to the area.
THRA also states that over the last year alone they’ve “safely disposed” of 36,000+ dirty needles, but refused to respond to my question of where all of these needles came from and how many they distributed vs. cleaned up.
Their “community engagement coordinator”who deemed me a “fascist” then decided to try and follow me to my car after I tried to leave.
Distributing drug paraphernalia to active drug users is illegal per Texas law btw, however, this org has been distributing since 2019.

In Minnesota…
Go to a liquor store with friend who will vouch that you’re 21 years old.
Go to a voting place with a friend who will vouch that you’re an American citizen.
You won’t get the alcohol but you will get to vote.
Think about how absurd that is.
A system designed for voter fraud.

Nobody in the mainstream wants you to hear this. 📷 Mark Zuckerberg put it in writing: for months in 2021, he says, the White House leaned on Facebook over what Americans were allowed to post, and he later said the pressure was wrong. They called it “misinformation.” So why the frustration when Facebook said no? One man was put in charge, a billion-dollar platform allegedly got squeezed, and anyone who questions it gets shut down. She connects the dots, and the last 10 seconds hit different. Watch the whole thing, then tell me she’s wrong.

In the last 14-months, I’ve lost business and income, I’ve had to install security cameras for safety reasons, I’ve had to block individuals who threaten my family, I’ve had to answer to journalists sent to tarnish my name, and I’ve had to weather character assassination funded by the renewable energy lobby.
And I’d do it all again in a heartbeat. I’d do anything for my home here in Upstate NY.
And this video captures just that. @johnrich has given those of us our governor forgot about a long time ago a voice.
Dear Kathy.
