50,000 Troops, 200 Fighters, 2 Aircraft Carriers Engaged in Attack on Iran, Commander Says
rookie numbers pump them up
With no help from Spain!

Carmen Fúnez, of the opposition Popular Party, thinks Mr. Sánchez may simply be acting out of loneliness: “With Maduro and the ayatollahs gone, his WhatsApp groups are getting empty.”
Soon it’ll be time for the re-re-reconquista. Hope this one doesn’t take 700 years.
No help from Al Andalus. Spain is in abeyance awaiting Reconquista II The Electric Inquisition.

US Sinks 17 Ships, Hits 2K Targets; Trump Says Tehran Forces Largely Knocked Out
ships do not matter a navy is more of a concept, a state of mind, an idea. The Iran navy is still going strong.
As long as they have sodomy and the lash they have 2/3 of a naval tradition.
they have sodomy then the rooftop
The Iranians execute sodomites, so… they have the lash.
So like I said they have two out of three.
Don’t be sad, Jarflax. That ain’t bad.
It’s a bit of a rum go.
Lots of it in the army.
I have to imagine the sodomy in the navy is at least as high.
Ah, the modern British concept of a Navy.
Progressive lawmakers Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna unveil $4.4T wealth tax targeting billionaires
make it 10T if you are just making shit up.
So… just blatant Commie redistribution then? (Instead of the more subtle version we’ve been inflicted with for decades now…)
That there’s nothing in the Constitution about a wealth tax, that income tax needed an amendment, that the wealthy can always just move all assets to another small country (and good luck if the IRS starts saying all wealth in the world is subject to the US) and that it is inherently unfair to steal property out of envy never crosses Comrade Sanders’s mind, I’m sure. Buttwipe.
I’d be more upset if I thought this actually had a chance… but I don’t think we’re that crazy at a national level (yet…)
Constitution – that dusty old thing?
Why do you hate a more than $1 trillion Medicare and Medicaid expansion, building affordable homes, capping childcare costs and establishing a minimum $60,000 salary for public school teachers??
How long have you got?
4.4T could pay off the national debt! Oh wait no it couldn’t…
Targeting that few people, it may qualify as a Bill of Attainder.
Hell, I haven’t looked today — I’m not even sure $4.4 trillion covers the fucking deficit anymore. Bastards.
Or… we could fire all the government school teachers, close all the tranny indoctrination centers they used to work at, sell the land to developers, and shift every Federal dollar that was going to education and childcare to deficit reduction?
Hell, I haven’t looked today — I’m not even sure $4.4 trillion covers the fucking deficit anymore. Bastards.
The last I checked the projected FY2026 deficit was $1.6 trillion. That was before the current war started.
Total debt is something like $38 trillion.
I’m sure the one-time check for $3k will offset the destruction of everyone’s 401k accounts.
How about we sacrifice Sanders and Khanna to make sure the sun rises. It’ll be less damaging.
If we can toss them all in Mauna Loa along with Al Gore for the climate gods (preferably from a helicopter of course), I could get behind this.
I dunno, sacrificing demons might anger the gods. I think they traditionally prefer pure sacrifices. I’m not against the throwing them into the volcano part mind you! I just think we should replace the offering prayer with a drumhead trial.
Kilauea is the better volcano to throw them into. It is currently active. Bonus points for the idea because the Park Service has multiple cams online 24/7.
I looked up how many people Amazon employs. The number is 1.5 million including full and part time. Is that not enough of a contribution to society? We should be giving these guys a medal instead of going after them.
Elon Musk’s taxes bought us an aircraft carrier.
The problem is most low information voters will see opposition to this as “protecting billionaires from paying their fair share”. It’s all a PR campaign and it will work.
It would be a nice gesture to let him christen it.
Envy is a powerful drug.
Those 1.5M people are just his wage slaves.
There’s a reason greed and envy are sins. Commies are always trying to upset traditional morality because they’re immoral in their core.
How many of those 1.5M get put out of work when Bezos has to liquidate assets to pay the bill.
How much wealth is destroyed when the value of the stock drops by 20% when then all those assets hit the open market?

There was the old joke about a European country wants to help the American war effort: well give you one jet!. One jet? Fine you can have both of them.
And then we find out they only meant a seat in the naked hot tub party at the UN.
And I’m sure they already have a judge lined up to say “Fraud doesn’t matter… funds must be dispersed because people expect it!” or some crap.
And Walz knowing about it would be no surprise… at this point, I think the MN government aided it because they seem to be completely captured by the Somali machine.
People rely on the fraud so you can’t stop it.
You can if you get rid of the people relying on it as well.
Hold on there Cochise. Walz is doing his very best, but how can he be successful when Trump isn’t taking it seriously?
I have no idea how that makes sense either.
It makes sense because no one brings out the tar and feathers anymore when politicians get too greedy with their fraud.
Is it wrong that I read that three times as Billy Joel and it seemed just as believable?

Thirsty babies following mother hen.
Parents have complained for decades that getting into an elite independent school in Manhattan is harder than getting into Harvard; for the wealthy parents who are competing to spend about $70,000 a year, it’s an infamously complicated and time-intensive game of tutoring and networking that involves preschoolers sitting for assessments and “interviews” just before nap time. But the February 2026 notification week for children who applied to kindergartens in the city was more brutal than expected.
All month long, in Facebook groups like “Moms of the Upper East Side” and “UES Mommas,” parents of 4- and 5-year-olds had been venting about misguided expectations as they came to terms with getting wait-listed and rejected at the schools where they genuinely believed their children would soon enroll.
“Any other moms feeling disappointed in the private school results today?” asked one mother who struck out in the process. A steady stream of commiseration filled the comments section. “So much hard work and time put in for a disappointing outcome.” “Many tears have been shed,” wrote another. “Not sure how to proceed.” “Confused as to who got in,” added one well-connected observer. Another parent wrote, “It’s a bloodbath this year.”
https://x.com/NYMag/status/2028832145654099994
I would not last a day in the dog eat dog world of manhattan elite kindergardens
Fine examples of people with more money than sense.
I can only assume it is one thousand percent about networking. Both so the parents can meet at functions and do business and so the kids know the “right people” later so they can be on each other’s boards and do the right investments with information through discrete channels. Nothing else makes sense….

Public schools are for the help.
Kids who don’t speak english.
I thought living on the Upper East Side meant getting to experience the excellent public schools there.
I assume New York magazine didn’t ask why people are so desperate to keep their kids out of government schools.
That much money, just buy a teacher.
John Cornyn and Ken Paxton will face a runoff in May. I dislike both of these guys.
Jasmine Crockett is out. Yea!
Tony Gonzales was forced into a runoff with Brandon Herrera. I’m just here for the gun porn, so Herrera would get my vote.

Not at all. I’ll take it.
Crockett would have been an easier win.

Who’s worried about Israel having nukes? It’s pretty much an open secret that they’ve had them for quite some time.
JFK was.
Is that why (((they))) had him assassinated?
For values of everyone defined by their hostility to (((guess who)))
Everyone is thinking that? Because I thought everyone assumed Israel was already nuclear, just keeping quiet about it.
And Schumer is an idiot who (like most of the Senate) should have retired already. (Or is that what everyone is thinking? Because it doesn’t seem like enough are since they keep getting reelected…)
Tribalists will vote tribe regardless of the suck factor. Most of the rest are emotional voters.
No one wants a nuclear Iran…. Except for Britain, France, NATO, MI6,and and Iran. A day before the attack started, Boris Johnson publicly implored iran to not negotiate away their nuclear weapons capabilities. Basically the same backstabbing he did with Zelensky. Time to break free from Britain and France instead of being their bitch
Hell, Johnson stabbed his own voters in the back by submarining Brexit.
I loath Schumer, but that is just a slight brain fart. I do things like that all the time.

What makes this story weirder is that she’s a communist, and cannot possibly not know what the mullahs did to her comrades after the revolution in ’79. Radicalism may be fungible but this is suicidal
LA and NYC already had professional protesters cued up, ready and waiting.

This is straight-up bullshit because she also represents a large chunk of SW Brooklyn – I know because I lived there. And there are plenty of “minority” voters there.
There are not enough people in S.I. to form a complete district.
It doesn’t matter anyway, there is no right to be guaranteed to be able to elect someone who happens to share your skin color.
Is this another “narrow” ruling, I wonder.
Because yes, of course, they could choose to shoot down all gerrymandering (which is 100% racist in nature) but I doubt they will.
If your representative doesn’t share your melanin level (if said level is high enough, low melanin levels wanting low melanin representation is racism) you aren’t democracying!
There should be no mention of race in anything government.

Blech! That hair alone says “Stay away, I stink and hate men.”

To be fair to the woman — I would think given the likely caliber of men in the industry, most/all adult industry workers probably hate men. Maybe not the gay porn stars… but even then, I wouldn’t bet on it.
Between the dreads and the stage name, I suspect she smells less like farm animals and more like stale reefer…

https://pagesix.com/2026/03/04/celebrity-news/demi-lovato-disses-ex-wilmer-valderrama-over-age-gap-romance/
If they are both over 18 “age gap” isn’t a thing.
Agreed.
I don’t think the victimhood crowd has really thought this through. If you disclaim agency in your life you end up as property. Is evading responsibility worth that price?
They are Schroedinger’s wymyn: strong, capable girl-bosses who can handle anything better than a man, and simultaneously helpless victims without agency or accountability, depending on whatever serves their interests.
Whatever fits their whims, I am doubtful anyone other than those who want society to collapse’s interests are being served.

Good morning Glibernam!
Coming live to you from glamorous ALB gate A4! I have discovered an actual good thing about an airport! They have an Uncommon Grounds (A local coffee and bagel chain) selling at non-airport prices! A toasted bagel for sub-$2? What is this 1992?
Yes, but is a bagel or some fluffy bread product in a bagel shape?
Actually decent!
Do they have Salt Bagels?
So many places stopped selling them it made me sad (not that I should have too many bagels, the carbs will get me)
I miss salt bagels.
Not at the airport. They do (or at least did) at their Saratoga place.
Salt bagels > soft pretzels.
“Salt bagels > soft pretzels”
How WWII got started.
Salt bagels > soft pretzels.
I’m a soft pretzel guy, but, I have had bad soft pretzels. I’ve never had a bad salt bagel. So, I guess I gotta sadly agree here.
I vote garlic bagels for the win.
Currently, there are no known airline or third-party lounges available at the airport.
*recoils in horror*
It’s not the smallest airport I’ve been to, but it’s the third smallest (not counting airfields).
There’s an actual commercial airport in College station TX, and it’s *hilarious*
Ithaca has one that is probably even smaller. I haven’t been because the flights are crazy expensive.
There’s a commercial airport on the Purdue University campus, that mostly supports the aviation and aeronautical engineering program. But they do have commercial flights. It’s just adorable.
Smallest I’ve actually flown out of is ISP, which looks to be only slightly larger.
Smallest I’ve been to has to be BID. It’s wee.
I should also mention that a coffee (actually good!) is $3.25. Which while not 1992 is insane for airport prices. If this is a marketing ploy to get me back to the Saratoga one, it is succeeding.
PDX requires off airport pricing for their vendors.

“I’m sorry. Yes, I did think that I could get life insurance as a 40-year-old, non-smoking, non-drinking, non-health issue having human. That was honestly my bad,” she said sarcastically in a TikTok video.

“Am I 5-foot-3, and do I weigh over 300 pounds,” she continued. “And, apparently, that makes me ineligible for life insurance. Yeah, it does.”
This is your reminder that Tess Holiday says she is anorexic.
That’s about the size of my oldest kid. I would in no way expect anyone to provide her with life insurance either.

“When Zoë Lescaze decided to become an expert sharpshooter, she’d never so much as picked up a handgun before.
Three days and a series of visualization exercises and mantras later, the New Yorker was ready for action.
But this was far from your typical woo-woo meditation session. Lescaze reached her goal using neuro-linguistic programming, or NLP — a radical form of hypnotherapy that claims to alter behavioral patterns and thought processes.
Her journey from mild-mannered science and culture writer to real-life Jason Bourne hunter was swift — all it took was a few hours each day on a Washington D.C. shooting range under the guidance of NLP expert Wyatt Woodsmall. In no time at all, Lescaze was hitting bullseyes at 75 feet — a difficult feat that some military recruits even struggle to accomplish.”
https://nypost.com/2026/03/03/lifestyle/controversial-mind-control-technique-nlp-turned-a-gun-novice-into-a-sharpshooter-in-just-three-days/
doubt
How big is the bullseye?
looks like large silhouette target
She got 2 hits in the x ring out of what looks like a dozen rounds at 25 yds on the target shown. That’s not bad for a rookie but also not anything all that special, especially if you assume that they picked her best target to illustrate the article.
Yeah, that’s only 25 yards, like you said, OK for a rookie but hardly impressive.
Oh boy, where to begin…
First – competitive shooters have been using neurolinguistic programming techniques to improve the mental aspects of their shooting game, basically forever. I recommend Lanny Bassham’s book With Winning in Mind for a good high-level overview of the subject. Lanny is an 1978 Olympic gold medalist and multiple world record holder in International Rifle.
Second – In the photograph Lescaze posted, her grip and stance are objectively terrible. Any remotely competent shooting instructor would have coached her to fix that shit.
Third – The posted group is what, 6-8 inches at 25 yards? That’s certainly not terrible, but it’s also not anything I would be bragging about. A reasonably competent bullseye pistol shooter is going to be holding sub-5″ groups at 25 yards one-handed (the size of the target black [7-X rings] on the B-16 25yd. slow fire target.)
I was impressed until I saw it was 75 feet, not meters, especially with a red dot sight.
It is true that some of the Marines I taught would have trouble at 25 yards, but not most.
In three days these look like average results from normal training.
Pretty much my take, ron. Not bad at all for a complete rookie after 3 days, but not extraordinary results, either.

I am worried that it won’t be long before they drop even that tiny of a fig leaf and just decree that businesses that defy them will be shut down.
businesses that defy them will be shut down.
All while calling everyone *else* a fascist.
Like during covid?
ComTat:
Of course you have to shut down your business during Covid. How can you run it from jail?
Another example of the demand for white supremacy and racism outstripping supply.

No.
No.
She looks like a fat Crypt Keeper these days.
Hence the pushing of boundaries.
Of the physical limits of her clothes. Every seam has its breaking point, and she’s bound to find all of them.
Who’d a thunk it? Turns out that the only complaint about getting paid for 20 weeks to not work is that the lines to get it are too long.
The Family Leave Act went into effect this year and already 20K people have applied to get it. You get up to 20 weeks (every year) of pay to take care a family member (or yourself).
How long will it be before all the workers at the Somali learing centers are also taking 20 weeks off per year?
Jimbo, Jimbo, Jimbo.
Learing Centers already report over 200% of their employees are on family care leave.
I’m all in! Work a bit over 6 months a year and get paid for 12 months.
Who doesn’t think that’s great?
“I’m sorry, your application has been rejected, you’re needed to pay for the people who are on the program.”
I’m waiting for the “scandal” to come up that the recipients are docked even for holidays.
“Wait, that was a 3-day weekend in there, I should only be docked for 4 days! My stop date should be at least a day later than what you cheap misers are telling me!!!”
Once they don’t count holidays against your 20 weeks of family leave time, you’ll only be working for 5 months or so a year.
Once they don’t count holidays against your 20 weeks of family leave time, you’ll only be working for 5 months or so a year.
And then there will be an entirely inexplicable recession. Must be because of greedy billionaires!
Wait….
So she decided to just take off from work without being approved by the program first?
Dude! The gov promised her that money. When has the gov ever not lived up to their promises.
I mean, they are even giving cops 20 weeks off.
Mpls only has 620 cops on the payroll.
Given how much their boss and the people they work for hate them, I can’t blame them.
How long before Candice Owens says Erika Kirk has a dick?
She hasn’t already?
Surprisingly not! Although perhaps she was too busy “just asking questions” about Jews making matzo with the blood of murdered children.
Candace Owens has joined the “say the craziest, most offensive shit imaginable to get attention” business plan.
And it’s working.
Which seems nuts to me. She already had tons of exposure with The Daily Wire and PragerU.
Is this about her being not being The Most Beautiful Of All?

There is a reddit community of Candace fans. Have fun everyone.
Yikes. I need a shower after browsing that for a couple minutes.
“Did you drink ice water today? If you did, that was “not very Chinese of you”, according to Sherry Zhu, a 23-year-old Chinese American creator based in New Jersey. If you were really serious about “becoming Chinese”, you would be sipping hot water every day, she warned in a TikTok video with millions of views. “I really do feel like, digestion-wise, a lot better when I’m drinking hot water,” she later explained to GQ.”
https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2026/mar/04/chinamaxxing-influencers-chinese-traditional-medicine
Tik Tok is retarded.
I don’t want to be Chinese. How boring of me.
If you really want to go all out, add some lemon to your hot water, have dinner at 4:30, watch the news, and go to bed at 8:00.
Seems like a slanted article.
*golf clap*
I saw on X the other day that they’re suspending accounts from making money if the account posts something AI and doesn’t declare it’s fake. Second strike, the account is terminated.
Once again the private sector does things better than a nutjob in the government who sings Mary Poppins songs.
At least they get a warning.
Paging Eric Swalwell!

His predilection for hot tea should have been enough of a warning that he was trying to turn Chinee.
All good citizens should be forced to drink a glass of ice water every day out in public.
My boss and my direct report are still stuck in Doha, Qatar. They say of all the places to be stuck, it’s probably one of the better ones, especially since they are put up in a 5-star hotel. They hope to be able to fly out on Friday, but it all depends on if the CAA opens the airspace. Sadly they haven’t gotten their luggage from the airline, so having to purchase “I [heart] Qatar” shirts at the local gift shops. Guess they haven’t printed up the “I got stranded in Qatar and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” t-shirts yet.
Yes, that is probably one of the better places. Still, I’m sure they’d rather not be there.
From press I read the US State Dept basically said call this number 24/7 and we can help. When you call the basically say they can’t do anything.
He called them and “they didn’t have anything helpful.”
I reminded him that State Department said they need to DEPART NOW using available commercial transportation. Spoiler alert, there is no available commercial transportation. They did get Saudi visas in case they need to drive out, but the road to Riyadh is lined with oil fields and refineries, so that is probably not a very safe drive.
This has the makings of a modern screwball road trip movie…
Carry on luggage ftw.
We were staying at a nice hotel in Oahu last Christmas and I started talking to a fellow guest while we were using the hotel’s grills.
He said that he and his wife were there during the Covid lockdowns and it was great. The hotel was so desperate for guests that they offered him 75% discounts to extend their stay. Since he was retired, he took them up on the offer and ended up staying for 3 months.
That was supposed to be a reply to Necro-sy.
Yeah, it is a very nice hotel, I looked it up on the interwebs. Of all the places to be stranded, it’s better than most.
Zwak I think it was posted a video from The Rake on Purdey guns. I found The Rake has a another video on Purdey which goes into history of the company and hunting.
Germany understands that it can only talk back so much to dad before he cuts off all or portions of its allowance. Worse case is they could be grounded after dinner.

I can’t stand all this mention of the “illegality” of the war – exactly what duly-enacted statute is in play here?
Just the unspoken rule that only elected Democrats can start wars.

Yes an Israeli F-35 variant took out a Russian made two-seat advanced jet trainer and light combat aircraft. I don’t know how it managed that miracle!
Well, it is an F-35, they don’t exactly have a track record of winning dogfights.
Laughs in F16.
“The Cincinnati City Council is set to consider this month a reparations program for residents that would be funded through tax revenue on marijuana.
The council is set to consider the Cincinnati Real Property Reparations Program, a program that would be open to eligible residents in 15 of Cincinnati’s 52 neighborhoods, per the Cincinnati Enquirer. The program would provide financial assistance for purchasing and maintaining property for low-to-moderate income residents and “any individual or family member of an individual who was prevented from buying a home due to discriminatory practices.””
https://thepostmillennial.com/cincinnati-moves-to-fund-income-based-reparations-to-residents-with-weed-money
At least they can claim they were high.
“Discriminatory practices” like being a bad credit risk?
Cincinnati is now as bad as Chicago, San Francisco, or New York.
“In a press briefing on Wednesday morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed that the US has taken out the leader of an Iranian unit that attempted to assassinate President Trump.
“Yesterday, the leader of the unit who attempted to assassinate President Trump has been hunted down and killed. Iran tried to kill President Trump, and President Trump got the last laugh,” Hegseth said, adding that it was not a “mission accomplished situation,” but rather a “reality check.””

Who knows?
I wonder if they’ve “activated” any other assets like that nutjob in Austin.
I’m sure they are working on it.
I wonder how many of their agents are looking at the one-sided drubbing and thinking “If I can maintain my cover, I won’t have to take orders from the corpses in Tehran”
“President Donald Trump’s drug czar is warning that the drug cartels are producing synthetic opioids that are 50 times more lethal than fentanyl and the administration is launching a counteroffensive to protect Americans that is akin to the COVID-19 era Operation Warp Speed.
“What we want to do is be able to stop that in its tracks, and that requires cooperation on a grand and global scale,” Sara Carter, director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy told Just The News.
That operation would involve a massive, government-coordinated public-private partnership, possibly incorporating HHS, DOD, and agencies like DEA and CBP to accelerate development and large-scale production of next-generation overdose reversal agents, advanced addiction treatments, rapid-detection technologies, and precursor chemical blockers, while funding at-risk manufacturing and distribution to ensure widespread availability.”

Or you know, you could just legalize drugs.
Or pigs could fly.
Sure it’s unlikely, but there weren’t any drug laws until about a hundred years ago. That, and it would solve the problem.
Depends on whether the cartels are just trying to make a buck or there are more sinister motives.
It will not solve the latter, if that’s the case.
If not drugs, the cartels will move to something more lucrative, like humans. They’re equal opportunity scumbags.
Ban narcan.
Let it self correct.
I think it’s called “police work”
“I don’t know how they pulled [my information] up, if they had something on me already, or if they pulled my registration,” she says. “Their message was not subtle, right? They were in effect, saying, ‘We see you. We can get to you whenever we want to.’ And it did scare me.”
Emily’s experience mirrors that of many other people across the country. To understand how federal agents are using various Department of Homeland Security surveillance tools in real time, NPR collected dozens of accounts — through interviews and court documents — describing confrontations with federal immigration officers in recent months.
Activists and journalists spoke of tactics they felt were intimidating: agents photographing their faces or license plates; calling them by name; or leading them to their homes. Immigration lawyers told NPR their clients had been subjected to facial recognition technology. One ICE agent, testifying under oath, spoke of an app that showed the likely home addresses of people targeted for deportation.
OMFG THEY KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE!
Go ahead, “surveil” them. Play act your Harriet the Spy fantasies. They’ll never spot you in a million years.
OH MY GOD
They’re pissed that they can’t follow ICE agents with impunity. They’re following ICE agents in a very misguided attempt at Stopping Fascism™️. They dox ICE. Threaten them. Try to interfere with their fully legal operations.
Yet when they’re identified and exposed, it’s GESTAPO!!
Do you guys like Ecuador?
Military forces from Ecuador and the United States have begun joint military operations against organized crime groups in the South American country, the Pentagon said, although as of Wednesday specific details, including the location and scope of the operation, remained scarce.
U.S. Southern Command said in a statement late Tuesday that Ecuadorian and U.S. military forces had launched “operations against Designated Terrorist Organizations in Ecuador,” calling the actions a “powerful example of the commitment of partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to combat the scourge of narco-terrorism.”
I do like Ecuador, quite a lot. Friendly people, terrific food, and wonderful natural scenery.
I spent a little time in Cuenca. Nice place to visit.

I hate these articles that are a bunch of X links. Take screenshots, or quote the tweets.
Or, and I know this is a radical thought, maybe they could write an actual article about something that actually happened rather than endlessly reporting on what is happening on social media?
You mean pick up a phone or go outside?
Hey, I said it was a radical thought.
The app draws from DHS information systems as well as new data ICE has received from other agencies, like home addresses from Medicaid records. A Palantir blog post describes this as “limited data shared by other agencies under a data sharing agreement permitting it to be used for immigration enforcement purposes.”
“They’re using data and they’re aggregating data that they would otherwise need a warrant for,” Manning told NPR. “So legally it’s very scary to me because it’s through technology they’re bypassing the Fourth Amendment.”
You wouldn’t want right wing extremists to conceal their identities, would you?
That’s (D)ifferent.
Today, in grandstanding douchebaggery
During a tense public hearing Tuesday, Republican Sen. Thom Tillis called on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign over her handling of the deadly Minneapolis immigration operation.
And he blasted her for killing her dog, which she had described in her memoir as “untrainable,” as well as a goat. Tillis, of North Carolina, argued that killing the animals reflected bad judgment and compared it to DHS’ fatal shootings of two American citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis.
She took those people out behind the barn and shot them herself!
Jesus Fucking Christ.
How is it that people like this have a platform.
Social media is the worst thing for mankind. It’s a scourge.
Papa John’s and Wendy’s are full of idiot bean counters.
If a store is breaking even or generating profit you keep it open.
Don’t close it which allows your competition to increase market share.
I am convinced MBAs are all retards. They certainly have never created anything.
