Here in Tennessee, unfortunately, we have our share of morons in our legislature. Cruelty is their only weapon.

If someone doesn't want you to watch something, you definitely need to watch it.

The country I grew up in in the 1950’s and 60’s is gone as this Administration continues to destroy the US Constitution. My fear is that it is gone forever! Unless drastic action is taken to reverse these abuses then all hope is gone.

January 24, 2026 This morning, on a street in Minneapolis, at least seven federal agents tackled and then shot and killed Alex Jeffrey Pretti, a 37-year-old ICU nurse for the local VA hospital.

As I stated in earlier posts, their very first instinct is to lie and then begin the coverup. They can’t help themselves. Video evidence from different angles to the contrary. They are very evil people running this agency and the government. They will be stopped and face their consequences.

We were right there in 2012 staying at Many Glacier Hotel. It was epic.

There are felons , drug addicts and incompetents running the government. These people show total disregard for the constitution, the rule of law and our democracy. They show no moral character and the GOP in Congress doesn’t have a spine. They must be stopped People are getting killed.

On this day, 01/14/1969 I was sworn into the U.S. Air Force in Knoxville , TN an event that would change my life forever. I rode down the day before on a Greyhound bus from Johnson City. I was 19 yrs old and very immature. My 4 yrs was the best thing to ever happen to me my self confidence grew !

DHS Is Lying To You About ICE Shooting a Woman At least four videos show what really happened when ICE shot a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday. DHS has established itself as an agency that cannot be trusted to live in or present reality.

After a very questionable shooting by a government agent their first instinct is to lie. Every. Single. Time. Then the mechanisms begin to enable the coverup. The closing of the ranks , the refusals to provide information. Etc etc. but like every other crime by this admin. Truth comes

Garcia uses his opening statement during Comer's Minnesota fraud hearing to point out that "some of the worst fraud and corruption is actually found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue" and that the administration is punishing innocent kids

F-4 C’s when I first got there. I think the D’s were located sometime in 1972. RAF Woodbridge had the 67th Air Rescue Wing. There were 130’s and H-53 choppers.

I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters with the 81st TAC Fighter Wing from 1969-73. I’ve been to both of those bases as well. I’m smelling an operation in Europe or the Middle East

January 6, 2021 was a stain on our country. I was born in 1949, never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine a POTUS, inciting a riot on Congress to stop the peaceful transfer of power I saw what I saw on tv that day. He escaped conviction. But his day of reckoning is coming. And so is his party

Fox’s Martha Maccallum: β€œ100,000 Americans die of overdoses - most of those drugs coming from Venezuela and other places…”

Rep Jason Crow: β€œThat’s actually not true. The majority of those deaths come from Meth and Fentanyl, almost none of that comes from Venezuela.”
