Wow! 2nd Grader Suspended 38 Times for Not Wearing Masks Tells School Board That She Hopes They Go to Jail
[GatewayPundit] A Florida second grader who has been suspended 38 times for refusing to wear a mask to school confronted her local school board — and asserted that they should be in jail.

Fiona Lashells, who just turned 8 years old, told the Tampa Bay school board in no uncertain terms how she felt about their rules.

She is "on a mission to take back, not only her rights but every American child’s constitutional rights from the tyrant school board," her mother, Bailey Lashells, told The Free Press.

Fiona isn’t taking the suspensions lying down either, she has now spoke at her school board meetings twice — directly confronting those who are ruining her education.


To proud for words!

Is DC Spending us into Civil War?
[CourseHero] Factors that Increase Risk of Civil War ((c) 2003) by Laitin and Fearon

Laitin and Fearon found that POVERTY was the key factor in 125 Civil War they studied from 1945 to 2003. Not ethnic, religious, and language differences. They even noted, countries with higher levels of democratic freedom did not have a decreased the risk of civil war either.

So I ask, is DC spending us into a Civil War?

Given we are now a nation with over $28 Trillion in overspending debt and a elected leadership seeking to add another $4.5T (+/-) on top of that in the coming weeks.

A nation hamstrung with a 14.2% growing US poverty rate, with a collection of corrupt government officials that continue to overspend and desperately hand out money to appease the poor.

Because it seems the stage is being set by DC.

#1  Civil War? No, civil bankruptcy and forced, global financial transition is more likely.

The goal is to destroy small business and the banking industry. The establishment of a government or state bank will provide for the distribution of funds in a more equitable, 'Needs Based' manner. Your funds, financial portfolios, Social Security payments, and other transactions will be immediately available for viewing and audit by the appropriate officials.

All cash payments will be eliminated, in fact outlawed. Your business transactions will be conducted via a gov't financial ATM style, data-base linked debit card. See the Food Stamp Program (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), ... Benefits Transfer (EBT) Card for additional details. BETA testing of SNAP is complete. This highly successful experiment, with tens of millions already enrolled, will become the prototype for all future financial transactions.

The new gov't issued card will facilitate our entry into a global financial network and economy. No more USD, Yen, Peso, EURO, gold, silver. The value of goods, services, and wage compensation will be established on a global, Crypto scale.

Your card will be linked to 'Face Recognition Software (FRS), which will prevent theft and facilitate timely card replacement. Medical data such as blood types, DNA, VAX status, firearms ownership, Amazon Prime membership, insurance, passports, educational levels, employment history, CV, and Advance Healthcare Directives can also be viewed on the card.

Unhappy with the new global wage and compensation programme? No problem. Your resignation is accepted and electronically processed. Federal contract air carriers bringing replacement workers from across the globe will be arriving nightly to take your place. They will be issued pre-loaded 'start up' gov't ATM cards upon arrival.

Seen the Hariet Dubman twenty dollar bill yet? Neither have I. Appears the concept has been for some reason dropped. A global cryptocurrency scheme appears to be the 'desired' new reality.

I agree in part...
Seeing the US Dollar paper is no longer backed by Gold and Name only.

But, I also see 14+% (46.4M/332m) of America on the dole and Gov. Feeding them.

If that Gov. dole is interrupted... Remember:
November 1956 CASTRO only had 81 revolutionaries <100 rifles, 2 or 3 light machine guns, <45 pistols and 2 Bazooka type anti-tank guns when he arrived in Cuba from Mexico. His numbers quickly became 1200+ and then he seized Cuba. His success was based on existing Gov. Citizen Gun Controls, and a poorly educated, pissed-off economically poor heavily abused population.

#4  CNN? Really? How about a credible source?

#5  The monetary system is the only glue holding this whole thing together. Trash it and its everyone for themselves. PS - four thousand years of history show that if you don't pay the troops, guess who believes they should run the show.

How Green Berets set up their rifles
[Sandboxx] The world of service rifles is pretty standard, at least among conventional forces, but once we start looking into more specialized roles, we began to see a bit of variety pop up. And there are few more specialized roles within the military than serving in the one and only U.S. Army Special Forces, also known as Green Berets.

Special Forces operate at the pointy end of America’s foreign policy, often fighting in remote areas and alongside foreign allied or partnered forces. As such, they have specialized tools to accomplish their mission, and that includes their main rifle.

The core Green Beret rifle seems to be the M4A1 Block 2 rifle set. The ’Block’ rifles refer to a certain setup and accessory package utilized by Special Operations forces. Green Berets have access to any number of rifles, including Sniper rifles, DMRs, Anti-material rifles, submachine guns, and much more, so it’s a solid vote in the platform’s favor that the M4A1 is the main rifle of these Special Operations commandos.

Like standard M4s, the gun utilizes a 14.5-inch barrel, a flat-top upper receiver, collapsing stock, and railed handguard.

#2  Good to know M.
But there's a lot of pretty posing, empty magazines or none at all.
Wonder if the guy isn't hyping his vendors.
