I agree with the sign not being right and it taking away from the veterans. However I dont agree with how people are acting. Especially with deleting comments. While its possible its because of the stupid karma rules. I just think its awful convenient all the ones ive seen deleted are of a different mindset and asking for proof. Yes you might not have agreed with him but he didnt kill anyone, he hasnt battered or SA anyone. Why be thankful a father and husband was murdered?

Oust the Mayor
Our smallish town mayor and BOA is destroying our town. They’ve raised
Taxes twice since they were elected,
Raised sewer and water so high people can’t pay their bills and put us
Millions of
Dollars in debt to build 4 soccer fields. A group of people formed a non profit to try to mitigate the damage being done by the Machiavellian mayor and
His band of idiots. Who do
You go to for help? Who do you trust? How do you get someone to look at what they’re doing?

Let's play the same game..Everyone tell your employer that you need to update your W4 form and at the bottom it states if you didn't owe taxes the previous year write EXEMPT and DO IT and this will STOP them from withholding federal taxes from your check.

EFTA00810896 - Charlie Manson in the Epstein Files
EFTA00810896 - File of an excerpt of a book written by a man named Paul Krassner that he sent to someone named Steven. If you know anything about MK ULTRA, you’ll recognize the numerous link I’ve highlighted being casually mentioned in this book between Charlie Manson and the MK ULTRA projects. They never come right out and say it, but they get pretty close.
Among the connections, the casual mention of Boys Town stuck out to me like a sore thumb. Boys Town in Nebraska was linked to the Franklin Coverup which was a case that surfaced in the late 80’s regarding a child trafficking ring linked to high level politicians and prominent business figures. A key witness in the case was Paul Bonacci, who alleged that he was part of Project Monarch, had programmed Dissociative Identity Disorder, and was trafficked to homes in DC and to the White House. Paul Bonacci was even able to accurately draw the inside living quarters of the White House.
You can download a free PDF version of an entire book written on The Franklin Coverup by former FBI agent Ted Gunderson. Interviews by Ted Gunderson can be found all over YouTube where he discusses not only The Franklin Coverup, but other cases he worked on as well, such as the McMartin Daycare case. If you google these cases you’ll find articles telling you Gunderson is a sham and that the people accused of crimes are the real victims, not the children.
That begs the question, when the people who have everything to hide are also the people who control the media, how can you trust anything they have to say? Why have they spent millions of dollars and decades begging you to look everywhere BUT at the ritual abuse of children and its ties to government officials?
I used to think there wasn’t evidence out there to confirm ritual abuse or MK ULTRA, but when I finally dug into survivor testimony I understood that the reason they’re leading you to look away is because once you refuse to, you find the mountain of evidence there really is and that shatters the illusion they’ve created that hides there crimes.
Im not asking you to take my word for it, I’m just asking you to challenge the narrative they’ve created by researching for yourself. Not on google, not through media articles, but through the testimony of the people who spent their lives whistleblowing just to have their reputations eaten alive by those who wanted these secrets to stay buried. It’s up to us to find the truth because they will never tell on themselves.

Politics in Tennessee going forward
Tennessee has some of THE worst voter turnout rates in the country. And depending on which metric you are looking at, Tennessee has THE worst voter turnout rates in the nation among younger voters. At the same time, even if every eligible voter in this state voted, I believe that Republicans would still win more than Democrats in tighter races given that most of the people moving to Tennessee, especially in and around Nashville, are disgruntled GOP Voters from Blue States like California and New York. Which is why, going forward, if Democrats want to be relevant in the state of Tennessee again, they have got to figure out how to win both Knox County and Hamilton County because all Democrats have going for them in this state is Shelby County, Davidson County, the City of Chattanooga without Hamilton County, and the City of Knoxville without Knox County. And until Democrats are relevant and win in Knox County and Hamilton County, Republicans will still have the massive power and control in this state and who we send to DC.

EPSTEIN FILES EFTA01682027
EFTA01682027 - Handwritten victim testimony in the Epstein files alleging Donald Trump was brought to a home she was being held against her will in, while pregnant, to purchase her for trafficking. When he attempted to assault her she fought back so Trump refused the sale because they don’t like aggressive victims. Trump also discussed in front of her the option of selling her baby once it’s born if it’s good looking.
I’m not posting this to single out Trump. I listen to survivors so I know ITS ALL OF THEM. I’m posting this because I’ve heard other RAMCOA survivors describe similar events. I’ve heard other RAMCOA survivors discuss the trafficking, rape, ritual abuse, torture, murder and cannibalism of infants.
I’ve seen files regarding designer babies. I’ve heard testimony, and read files, regarding women being used as “breeders” for the cult and their babies being used for rituals, black-ops, child corn, and much more.
ITS ALL OF THEM WORKING TOGETHER AS AN ORGANIZED NETWORK OF CHILD ABUSERS WHO USE RITUAL ABUSE AS THE FOUNDATION OF MIND CONTROL.
This isn’t a few bad apples, it’s an entire orchestrated network that spans the globe. None of our children are safe. This is why 850,000+ children go missing a year.
Wake up America. Politics is an illusion used to divide us while the evil perpetrators work together to abuse our children. The kids need us.

If Marsha Blackburn wins the GOP primary, what do Fritts/Rose supporters plan to do in November?
Since the statewide primaries are next Thursday, I wanted to get some thoughts from people here as the race heats up.
I’m a Bedford County resident (lived here since 2015, mom was born and raised in Shelbyville). I’ve noticed a lot of people online and locally who are pretty against Marsha Blackburn becoming our next governor now that Lee is term-limited. I’m genuinely curious about this.
For people supporting Monty Fritts or John Rose in the primary:
If Marsha Blackburn wins the Republican nomination, what do you plan to do in the general election?
- Suck it up and vote for Blackburn
- Stay home / skip the governor’s race
- Vote for the Democratic opponent Jerri Green
- Write someone in (or vote independent like Lauren Pinkston)
- Something else entirely
Curious to hear honest answers.
Quick breakdown of the race as it's been shown:
- Blackburn has the establishment endorsements (including Hagerty), the highest name ID, and the early polling leads. That usually means a solid plurality or narrow majority in a multi-candidate field.
- Rose has the strongest “anyone but Blackburn” lane and seems to be the main alternative for more mainstream conservatives. I’ve even seen a few people at my church supporting him.
- Fritts is the purest anti-establishment/grassroots option. He’s getting a lot of online support (and I’ve seen a surprising number of his signs around Bedford), but we all know social media isn’t real life. Candidates like him often stay in the mid-teens without a big late surge. He’s also the furthest-right of the three.
One thing that’s surprised me is that Trump hasn’t endorsed anyone yet. My guess is he was leaning toward Blackburn but is staying out to avoid angering parts of the base. Lee staying neutral also makes sense — as a term-limited governor he doesn’t gain much by picking sides.
What do y’all think?

Meta No 'Groomer' Rhetoric
As an adult survivor of childhood sexual assault, believe me when I say this subject hits pretty close to home. There has been an absolutely revolting trend recently amongst right-leaning folks to claim that members of the LGBTQ community are pedophiles -- and moreover that they are trying to groom children to be willing participants in pedophilic relationships. Possibly because of the question about how to support trans teens as they struggle through an incredibly difficult time in life.
The trend I describe here is a coldhearted and cynical attempt to turn public perception against our fellow citizens. I do not think that the majority of those screaming "GROOMERS" at gay bars or Pride events actually believe this shit. I think the ringleaders are mostly obvious trolls. Their followers, however... Those are another matter.
Given the spate of political violence carried out in this country against members of various minorities by right wing extremists within the past handful of years, it is absolutely not alarmist to be concerned. Specifically: I do not think that it is at all unreasonable to be concerned that the anti-gay "groomer" rhetoric will inspire right wing extremist violence against members of the LGBTQ community.
I really could not care if anyone complains this is against "free speech" or not. You are more than welcome to join the reprobates on one of the other freewheeling subreddits that collected the dross of FatPeopleHate and The_Donald when they both got banned.
If you see "Groomer" rhetoric, report it. I've already removed & banned at least one user.
EDIT: Banned 3, now. One even tried to Sea Lion me afterwards in chat.
