This is a historic moment... For the first time in like forever... the 27 nations of the EU made a decision and in record time.

You sent a signed letter to "Betty No Last Name" restoring her rights to vote. And you want to decide what to do with AI? Honey, I wouldn't trust you with a crayon much less a computer.
AI is rapidly reshaping the cyber landscape. Despite federal inaction, Virginia will continue to address the serious threats created by the rapid development of AI. We’re establishing a Cyber Consortium to improve coordination with public safety leaders, emergency management personnel, state agencies, universities and higher education institutions, and private sector partners across Virginia. wdbj7.com/2026/10/23/governo…

Meet “Betty No Last Name.” That is the name printed FOUR TIMES on this restoration-of-rights certificate bearing Governor Spanberger’s and Secretary Candi Mundon King’s signatures. The certificate says the Executive completed a review of “the particulars of the individual’s case.” There are possible criminal implications here. This is not restoring a dead persons right to vote. This is restoring a non existent persons right to vote. Va. Code § 18.2-472 criminalizes a public officer’s fraudulent false entry in an official record in that officer’s custody. Creating a false restoration record triggers this statute. And get this … a conviction removes the office holder from office and bars them from holding future office….

I can't think of anything more embarrassing, sad and pathetic than being rejected by the EU.
I for one am shocked that a country and a political union that can't accomplish anything couldn't accomplish anything.

You want to take money from me - paying taxes and for a home - and my kids saving to buy their own homes - and give it to someone who just walks up with their hands out? Declaring housing a “right” and funding it through compulsory taxation is not generosity - it is the use of legal force to transfer the fruits of one person’s work to another. That is called "Servitude" not freedom.
Housing is a human right. We need to make it affordable for everyone.

🚫 CLAIM: Over recent days and weeks, Iranian-controlled media have reported Iranian claims that commercial vessels are hitting sea mines while transiting the Strait of Hormuz. These claims are FALSE. ✅ FACT: All internationally recognized primary transit routes through the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared of sea mines by U.S. forces and remain so. Thousands of commercial vessels have safely used the transit lanes and continue today.

🚨SOFT SHANNON TAYLOR’S RADICAL, SORDID RECORD🚨 Here’s what the media won’t tell you about Shannon Taylor: ❌She FIRED experienced career prosecutors because they weren’t “diverse” enough. ❌She allegedly FIRED an employee for reporting sexual misconduct. ❌She gave a sweetheart deal to a NICU nurse who abused infants and broke their bones, just THREE YEARS in prison. ❌She DECLINED to bring criminal charges against a man who abused two elderly patients in a nursing home - that man then abused another patient. ❌She REDUCED nine felony counts for child sex abuse to just four misdemeanor counts - and the abuser did not have to register as a sex offender. ❌She DISMISSED charges against the man who murdered Susanna Cisneros’s unborn baby. Shannon Taylor’s record is a moral abomination. She doesn’t belong anywhere near Congress.

Yup. He’s been recruited along with @GrumpyTechBro to help dig in.
The more I dig through this stuff, the more I realize we still haven’t gotten to some of the biggest documents yet. @DataRepublican has already done an incredible job showing what they were preparing for inside the government. This document looks like the plan for what happens outside the government once they decide the trigger has been hit. And FTR, this is WAY beyond people sitting around talking about “resistance.” It’s an April 2026 draft called “The Metro Alignment Playbook,” and it lays out a city-by-city plan to create economic disruption during an election crisis. The idea is basically to identify the corporations that carry the most economic power in each city, figure out where they’re vulnerable, and then build the labor, faith, community, political, and small-business infrastructure needed to pressure them when the time comes. Then they start naming actual targets. Wall Street. Silicon Valley. The Los Angeles ports. Delta hubs in Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Minneapolis, and Detroit. Target in Minnesota. Banks, oil companies, defense contractors, tech companies, and whatever major corporation carries the most influence in each city. And honestly, the activation section is where this gets pretty insane. “NYC unleashes on Wall Street.” “Minneapolis and Detroit shut down Delta hubs at the airports. Atlanta does the same.” “LA calls strikes at the port and elsewhere.” “California starts a caravan to Silicon Valley and clogs it up.” It says every city should already know its role, its target, and the economic costs it is supposed to impose. “Nobody is waiting for orders.” If election certification is delayed or elected officials aren’t seated, the plan escalates into general strikes, coordinated business closures, boycotts, walkouts, and occupations of corporate headquarters. They even talk about using smaller events as rehearsals to test whether the whole system works before the real “All In” moment happens. I think that’s the part people need to understand. This ia actual operational framework with named cities, named corporations, trigger events, rehearsals, legal preparation, communications strategy, and multiple levels of escalation already mapped out. They are building a decentralized system capable of creating coordinated economic pressure across major American cities during the 2026 election certification period.

The NY Times is reporting that the Peltola campaign actively sought decoy "Dan Sullivans" to confuse Alaskan voters and draw votes away from the incumbent. According to a staffer, the very people claiming to be "defending democracy" sought to obstruct it. nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/po…
