Great, years later, at a time when it seems that no one cares about the issue, nor will anyone in a position of capability actually do anything about what he now admits, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg says he was working with the White House specifically to censor Americans by removing content on social media and he regrets it.
Just effen’ perfect…. The zombie minded leftist killers of speech and information, have overwhelmed the ramparts, crossed the moat, destroyed our gates, constitutional defenses and drawbridges, and are now bashing loudly on the interior doors in their bloodlust effort to take full control. Meanwhile the few of us who remain are on the other side of that splintering door; veins bulging, muscles strained, pushing and holding back with all our might against every surge and attack wave…. and Zuckerberg nervously says, “whoops, sorry for dropping the drawbridge guys.” Good grief Mark, shut up and grab an axe now!
.
Sometimes you just have to laugh at the revelations people have, when they have them, and their abject failure to see how monumental the damage was/is as a result of their previous stupidity.
The city on the hill is burning, we are trying to save the women and children, and Zuckerberg is saying, “hey, sorry guys – but I let the drawbridge down because they seemed like such nice people.”….
It’s truly not a matter of forgiveness even playing a part of this process any longer. Spiritually and psychologically, I am prone to forgive everyone now, even the ‘dindunuffins’, not because I can manifest my better angels – but rather because their faces are just so mind-dummingly fraught with stupidity, and I just want to cherish the remaining embers of liberty in peace without having to notice Zuckerbergs’ existence.
Maybe this admission by Zuckerberg will help a few dozen more hardcore leftists wake up.
A Vietnam era friend of mine and his wife and mine decided to drive out to Conneaut and watch the Reenactment of the D Day landing at Normandy. However. since it was a multi-day event and it was a good hour and a half drive we found an Airbnb home in Ashtabula which was nearby that we could rent. We left early on August 15th and went to the Reenactment first which gave us more time there.
We did spend most of the day at the Reenactment and had a good time there looking at the military set up and also looking at what venders had. The people in the Reenactments were by invite only and they had to have prior experience and uniforms, web gear and weapons that were from that period or new stuff made to the same specification of what was used then. All the participants were organized into the units they represented; American, British and others. They had tents set up and you could go and talk to them about what the unit they represented did that day and beyond as the allied armies moved toward Germany.
Besides the D Day landing there were also reenactments of several key battles that the American led invasion got into with the German army. They were well done. There is a picture of the beach landings.
Next is a short video (MP4 file). I was having trouble with my phone when trying to record videos as the sun was to my back and shining on the phone so I could not see what I was recording. The one that follows was the only decent one I got. I should have brought my Camera.
After the Reenactment we drove to Ashtabula, had dinner and then went to the Airbnb. When we got to the home we had some surprises that makes this trip very interesting. First the house was on a steep hill that was paved with the original pavers so it was a bit scary getting up to the house and onto the drive way to the home which was about half way to the top. After parking the car we got out, walked over to the steps going to the front porch, got our key, and then went to open the front door where we saw on right side of the front door there was a large bronze plaque picture below
This plaque was installed by the present owner of the house. It was a well made plaque refering to when the house was first made. We opened the door and walked in, unloaded the car and after getting settled we found it was a very well done updated home. We also found a book with the history of the city and the home and found that the plaque was more accurate than we thought. The .house was a brothel and so it was a real whore House and not an oar house which was a very clever wording by the owners.
Apparently, during this period the house was built when the steel industry was developing and ore was going into Ohio and Ashtabula had a more efficient unloading system than Cleveland and so they were very busy. So there were a lot of men that were working here and the prostitution business was flourishing. We had a lot of fun talking about sleeping in a whore house, while we were there.
Later that evening we had one more surprise. While sitting in the front room watching the TV, I noticed that the book shelf next to it looked odd so I walked over to check it out.
After checking it out I saw that it was really a door to someplace and so I opened it and this is what was in inside there.
This was what I saw, which was sure not anything I expected. I did not check to see if it was a real monster or a doll. To the lower left of the doll were the stairs to the basement but after seeing that Doll we decided not to go down there … lol
The last day we were there we also tock a look at a number of Covered Bridges in that area. They were all on dirt/gravel roads. My wive’s granparents lived in this area and she remembered some of the places we pased through.
All in all we had a great time including spenting the weekend in a “oar” house .
PS For the entire time I was there I could bot get my laptop to onnect to the internet. I had the code and that has never happened to me before? Maybe it was good that I didn’t go down to the basement!

The United Kingdom has threatened to extradite foreigners who dare to speak out on the migrant crisis. There does not need to be a crime, as spreading “disinformation” is considered a crime because the perpetrator may cause OTHERS to act violently. Unfortunately, foreign nation are now abiding by these disinformation laws.
Pakistan arrested a man for posting about the Southport murders on his Twitter/X account. He simply questioned why three young girls were stabbed to death by a man who many believe to be a Muslim migrant. The UK government is outraged that the public is questioning the coward’s immigration status rather than protecting other young girls from meeting the same fate. Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency said that internet user Farhan Asif is guilty of committing an international cybercrime for sharing his views online.
“I don’t know how such a small article or a minor Twitter account could cause widespread confusion,” Asif said. Police raided his home and confiscated all of his electronics. Again, he questioned the murders in Southport while residing in a foreign nation. Yet, police are accusing him of creating “a sense of fear” and fueling riots in the UK. Pakistan went as far as claiming that Asif damaged his own nation’s reputation.
The United Kingdom opened the door to utter chaos as free speech is NOT permitted on the internet. We are talking about government agencies raiding homes over posts on social media. Asif himself is a Muslim man from a Muslim nation. He is thousands of miles away from the protests and has no apparent connection to the protestors. Yet he’s in legal trouble for allegedly promoting hate speech against his own people. It’s not hate speech but anti-government speech that these tyrants are concerned about silencing. People can cheer for Hamas, the destruction of Israel, and even protest on behalf of implementing Shira Law. But everyone who questions the government’s policy on open borders is now a criminal. How widespread will this become?
Pakistan is already looking to pass legislationto ban fake news or disinformation. Mocking someone on the internet will be a punishable offense. You cannot speak out against any government official or agency. Pakistan’s government already has a Twitter/X account where they expect citizens to tag them over any perceived malice online. You simply cannot speak out against the narrative anywhere. Of course, the Interior Ministry said the new crackdown on social media is in the “interest of upholding national security, maintaining public order, and preserving the integrity of our nation.” This is what EVERY government will say in regard to censorship attempts. They already control the radio, TV, and paper news, but they now must silence the people from sharing news among themselves. There is an outright war on information between the people and governments.

Does the West actually care about women? The United Kingdom wants to arrest anyone speaking poorly of Islamic views infiltrating their society, and they plan to arrest anyone expressing a misogynistic view. The Democrat select for the 2024 Presidential Election believes abortion is the pinnacle of women’s rights and liberation, offering free abortions at campaign rallies. No one can define women. They are not provided maternal leave, crimes against women are on the rise, and there is a pink luxury tax on the products they buy. The only message the left releases is that women can only be free if provided the right to abort babies, and everything else is overlooked. The women of Afghanistan probably had a glimmer of hope when America was keeping the Taliban in check. But Biden and Harris abandoned troops and allies in Afghanistan, and now, the very people who believe they defeated the United States have implemented some of the harshest laws against women to date.
These are the women Biden and Harris left behind in Afghanistan after the disastrous withdrawal. The Taliban recently held a parade to celebrate the anniversary of their defeat of America, complete with an arsenal of weapons worth $85 billion provided by the US. Those same people are using their newfound power to remove ALL rights for women. Women are not welcome in Afghan society.
Women in Afghanistan must completely cover their entire bodies in public to avoid tempting men. The UK bans anyone from posting negatively on social media because it might tempt another. Punishing people because others may become enraged is commonplace in the current rule of law.
The 114-page document that women must abide by is horrendous. Female VOICES have been banned – they are not to speak as their voices may tempt men. Dogs have more rights than women because they are not put to death for barking. Simply speaking is now a criminal offense. Women may not leave the home without a male chaperone present. Education past the sixth grade is now forbidden. Yet, women may only see female doctors, so half the population will not have access to medical care. Unmarried women have no chance at existence. These women have been reduced to property and are prohibited from having a life outside the home.
The people marching up and down the streets to free Palestine are quiet, as are the women’s rights groups. There has been no statement issued from the White House who is actually funding this insanity as the Biden-Harris Administration recently sent the Talian $239 million in funding. Where is the MY BODY, MY CHOICE crowd? The college campuses are quiet. Political activists and politicians claim they are saving women from being oppressed, but they care not about such matters. The social justice warriors will turn a blind eye to this blatant abuse of human rights because it acknowledges that Biden and Harris failed the people of Afghanistan.

The Democrats support always raising taxes that amount to robbing people with laws. They NEVER learn that Marxism has failed EVERY single time it has been tried. They do not give a damn about our country, our future, or retaining our culture. They are outright liars when it comes to claiming it is misinformation that people will be subjected to the proposed unrealized capital gains. I place the blame on the socialist Supreme Court when they were pushing the income tax. Suddenly, the Equal Protection Clause magically only applied to race, gender, or religion, not class.
Societies have often been divided by class throughout history. In ancient Rome, only high-ranking citizens were entitled to a jury trial. There were no PRISONS in Rome. Someone who committed a murder was sent to fight in the Colleseum as a gladiator. If they survived 3 years, they retired to be an instructor for two years. After that, even a slave was freed. A high-ranking aristocrat was sent into exile for such crimes.
So here we have the Democrats once again pitching their hatred of class and promising that their $5 trillion tax proposals will NEVER impact the middle class – only those disgusting rich people who they hate but accept when they hand them millions of dollars for their anti-American campaigns for exceptions.
They sold the income tax in the same way. Only those vile people who have started businesses and been successful will pay or go to prison. Only people who earned more than $3,000 were supposed to pay income taxes. They know how to bullshit everyone, so they cheer and create class warfare knowing the majority of people believe whatever they say and will never realize that they are played for fools. Eventually, you are their target.
They want to claim that social media lately deals with taxing unrealized capital gains as misinformation. They insist that Harris’ $5 trillion plan to taxunrealized gains will only apply to $100 million or more. They said the same scheme applied to income tax in 1913. Even if it taxing unrealized gains applied ONLY to those at the $100 million level and up, those people would be forced to sell their shares (1) ahead of the tax or (2) to pay taxes.
Guess what! That will create a stock market crash that will impact everyone’s savings and pensions. They don’t want to talk about that. Then, if you had a stock that rose from $100 to $200, you would be taxed on the $100 gain. However, like gambling, you cannot write off your losses. So, the stock fell back to $100, and there was no refund. Kamala will create a Great Depression, and the market will probably crash for 2 years. If they pull off their assassination of Trump next time and rig the election, this will be the end of the bull market.
We do see a major turning point in 2026 on the horizon. A Democratic victory would perhaps turn that into a major low. There is no question that once any unrealized gains taxis passed, it will eventually apply to everything, for we are on the cusp of default. When the government realizes by waging endless wars against both China and Russia that when China dumps all our debt, interest rates will rise, and the budget will explode. They will then expand the tax by mere interpretation under IRS rules.
This understandably paints a negative picture of “average Americans” being forced to pay taxes on “paper increases” in their asset values and denied credit for losses. They may not apply that to real estate, but certainly to shares. If they did try to apply that to the average person’s home, that would certainly bring about the Revolution. Are they that stupid? Probably. Then the question is those in the military would probably split between real Americans and imported aliens. It may end up like the Russian revolution of the have-nots vs the haves.
The $5 trillion tax hikes proposed by Kamala may be the catalyst that sparks the revolution, just as the Stamp Act in America did in 1765 in the American colonies. They never consider spending less. It is always just getting more from We the People. Kamala Harris’s proposal for a 44.6% tax on capital gains has also claimed to target only the rich. However, it will apply when you sell your home and seek to retire, move, or downsize after the kids are gone. The government will NEVER reduce spending. They need to bribe people to retain their position unless the terminate voting – which they just did in the Democratic Party extinguishing primaries.
Welcome to the Land of Endless Taxation. When you die, they want 50% of what is left, if not more. Ben Franklin warned that the only two certainties in life were Death and Taxes. My father’s old law partner advised me if I died in New Jersey, tell my family to drag my body across the river before they told anybody – or get out of the state. I moved to Florida. New Jersey now has an EXIT TAX. California now wants to impose an EXIT TAX. You sell your house and do not buy another in New Jersey; they want an exit tax. NEVER do they ever question why people are leaving and reform. Instead, punish the bastards for daring to leave in their version of government – economic indentured tax servitude. We are all now economic slaves, and if you fail to file telling them what you earned – that is jail time. They don’t imprison you for failure to pay, it is failure to tell them you owe money.
The Democrats have flooded the country with illegal aliens. At least Texas is taking action. Hello! Governors – wake the hell up if you care about our country!
They are standing in lines and getting driver’s licenses, and in most states, that and a fictitious address let you vote. I live in Florida. Even DeSantis could be removed from office if he does not MANDATE that you MUST come with a passport, birth certificate, or naturalization papers to vote. The Democrats have destroyed the United States. I fear this will be our last election, and nobody will accept the outcome. Both sides will head to the courts. Everyone else in Europe, Asia, South America, and Canada might as well mail-in ballots and use the White House address 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC, DC 20500. If they vote for Kamala, they will be gladly accepted in DC. Any for Trump will be trashed. Is this what a usurpation of power looks like?
I wish the COMPUTER forecast had been my opinion.
At least then, there would have been hope I was wrong.

QUESTION: What do you think of RFK’s sister? I can’t imagine her as a family member.
GH
ANSWER: Let me explain something that shocked me when I was a kid. My father had a client whose children never supported him. My father did his will, and he left everything to the live-in housekeeper who took care of him for his last ten years of life. The family never visited and basically just disagreed with whatever he stood for. What I remember was the very day he died, his kids ransacked his house, convinced he had stashes of cash. They began punching holes in the walls, looking for money.
What I remember is that the housekeeper had no idea he left everything to her. The kids challenged the will, and my father defended it. Because of their actions, the court ruled in favor of the housekeeper, and they had to pay all the legal fees plus repair the house they trashed. The good old days when “JUSTICE” stood for something instead of “JUST US.”
Simply because she may be his sister means nothing. She appears to be a questionable person who is clearly voting labels and has no idea what her father and uncle stood for. I hate to tell her, but JFK and her father were taken out (1) because they were AGAINST war, and (2) JFK wanted to shut down the CIA after they proposed killing Americans and blaming it on Cuba to justify invading. Has she ever heard of Ukraine? Perhaps we should send her a coupon to buy an M16 and a free ticket to the front over there, where she can join the war and support Kamala and the Neocons who killed her own family members.
I would remove her from my will or leave her all my liabilities to pay off. With a family member like that, who needs enemies?
Perhaps she should study her facts. Roy Kellerman (1915 -1984) had more than 20 years of experience with the Secret Service and was in charge of the Dallas security operation on Nov 22, 1963. He was in the front passenger seat of JFK’s limo and briefly turned back when the first shot was fired. He described a shot that sounded like a firecracker, then two more gunshots that ended in a ‘flurry’ of shells, indicating more than three shots had been fired. He told the Warren Commission that President Kennedy’s special assistant, Kenneth O’Donnell, instructed that the bubble top on the car should be removed if the weather was clear that day. After Roy’s death, his widow reported that her husband was convinced there had been a conspiracy to kill Kennedy. It has been over 60 years, and they refuse to release the investigative documents.
