We Ain’t Buyin’ It!
#BoycottBuyLess

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Where is all the money from taxing the American people?

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

After two trips to the hardware store, and an assortment of parts, my toilet is not leaking anymore, but it dribbles and belches again and again.
Total Toiletry F#¥%ery!

Heaven is trapped
Inside my TV screen
An after market discount
On the great American Dream
They peddle illusions
While they’re harmonizing screams
Was this the world
That was meant
For me?

Oh I feel like
I don’t belong
Where did
My country go?
Picking up pieces of a dream
We thought was real

Beware of people
Driven to the street
Beware when
Their attention falls
On those who lie and cheat
Often there’s no difference
Between victory and defeat
Was this the world
That was meant
For me?

Was This The World?

Factory smoke
Outlined by the trees
The smell of sweat and fear
Carries on the breeze
Will I get my answer
Once from this prison
I’m released
Was this the world
That was meant
For me?

Canada vs. America

Just sayin’

Stop asking for what you want. Start telling us what you have to offer.

“To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police.”

If you think that adults taking Tylenol hurt kids, just wait until you read what the adults in the Epstein Files were doing to them.

The real division is not between the “Left” and “Right”, but between those who think, and those who obey.

About 90% of people are "asleep" — in various states of mental and ideological hypnosis. They live within illusions, which they either acquire through their life experiences or inherit from their family and cultural environment.

So that’s what happened to the Epstein files

CHICAGO…

It takes COURAGE to open your mind.
It takes IGNORANCE to close it.

Yes or No

It isn’t normal for a president to repeatedly threaten the use of military force against American citizens. Treating the National Guard as a political pawn disrespects those who serve and undermines public trust in our military.
