I’m familiar with the areas. It’s only in the densely populated coastal cities. Outside of those geographic regions, California residents lean conservative and pro Trump. Pity that the beach areas went first.

We all feel it. But never forget — it doesn’t happen without us. Trump can’t make this happen by himself. We have to help make it happen. Don’t be idle, and don’t content yourself to be an observer. Everyone can help. No but is too small.

Small ways: Change shopping behavior to buy only USA products. Have conversations with friends and family. Buy a little extra essentials to be better equipped if something happens. Donate even just a little bit to the Trump team. Gather for holidays.

Other ways: Contact your reps. Protest (peacefully for now). Be good to your family and friends. Create stability for your kids and husband/wife if you have them. Teach and lead them.

Every single bit helps. Don’t be complacent!

Ever heard of GDPR compliance? Or CCPA in California (only California resident specific, but there are many MAGA folks here)?

This takes lots of work for tech companies. And it’s taxing on resources (people and/or systems).

Do each one sequentially to create the biggest amount of work for them.

I would follow the process for each type of action you can take under each one. For example, for CCPA: First, right to know. Then right to opt out. Then right to delete.

Also, did you know that, under CCPA, companies can’t require that you have an account in order to submit the “do not sell my personal information” request? That means you don’t need a Facebook account to do this.

They have to respond to you within 45 days. If they need more time, they can extend by another 45 days, but only if they respond and notify you.

Specifically for CCPA, they can’t discriminate against you for taking these actions. So document everything - timing - etc. if you have to mail something, do it via certified mail. Then, later, that gives us a ton of ammo for a class action lawsuit if they do discriminate. Big legal risk for them.

Guys, this is a ton of work for them. It strains resources, it’s expensive, and it’s a big risk legally if they don’t do it correctly. It also directly eats at their profits. Investors will notice.

Makes it hurt on your way out!

Rudyard put it nicely.

Spent time to understand yourself, your convictions, what you are willing to fight for, and why.

Also, don’t make excuses for yourself. If things get hot, excuses won’t get you anywhere. Get and learn your firearm.

Don’t rush, don’t get trigger happy. Give the system a chance to work (or not) first. That’s one of the things we’re fighting to protect anyway, right?

That aside, also think about logistics and support. Where will you get food? What if that isn’t available? What’s your backup plan A, B, and C? You won’t be the only person who’s hungry. The entire nation bought ALL THE TOILET PAPER to prepare for a 99.xx% survival rate sickness. Think what they’ll do if things start heating up.

Also, clean your room and take care of yourself.

Hear me out. What if this is part of the plan? Imagine if someone from the Trump team took it in advance, knowing there would be shenanigans and that they might need it to discover or prove that the glitches were actually intentional? Just musing.

Where can I find more pictures of this art style? 50s vibe. Goolag never shows good results like this, neither does DDG.

All my mail from the Trump campaign - and packages from DJT store - was always strewn about, crumpled/crushed, sometimes in the bin under the mailboxes, and other times just tossed on the ground. There was plenty of space in my mailbox for those to fit. Other mail was placed inside (and in good condition). So, it would seem that those specific pieces of mail were treated differently. I brought it up to the post office (twice, in person). Never hear back on any explanation, resolution, or follow-up. Behavior didn’t change. Disrespectful at best.

Lol yeah. Well, there’s some possibility of good news on the horizon as far as the 30 rnd magazines go, but I’m not holding my breath just yet. Better to have something than nothing. Luckily, the guns don’t care what size I put in them, so it’s something to look forward to when I move.

I’m in an area that is heavily pro Trump. Even still, I plan to move in the few years or so, maybe just before Trump leaves office in 2024. We’ll see what the future brings.

Couldn’t post yesterday due to some other circumstances. So, hope you don’t mind me joining a bit late on this one. Of course, this isn’t meant to encourage violence. There’s a time and a place for that and we haven’t reached it yet.

Stay strong folks!

Initially, I had the same sentiment.

Over the last few weeks, though, I’ve been thinking. This is a huge opportunity, but an even bigger risk.

Centralizing education into “authorized” or “accredited” institutions is something we should all greet with extreme caution and hesitation.

Here’s my thinking:

  1. Think about who gets to decide which diplomas are valid. What is the criteria? Who sets it? Now what happens when a kid graduates with one that isn’t? How will it affect their ability to find work?
  2. Even if there’s a process to get accredited, how arduous is it? What is an acceptable amount of due diligence and who should perform it? How many hoops should exist? Are they designed so that conservative opinions (and, by extension, schools) are equally able to compete with liberal institutions?
  3. How do people find institutions? Considering the censorship we’ve seen at big tech, their bias against conservative outlets, and the lack of antitrust action, how can we ensure fair visibility?
  4. Think about who has invested heavily in online learning already? Gates is one. Name some others. This gives me a lot of pause.

If you look at the communist agenda (it’s no secret), it candidly states:

“Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers’ associations. Put the party line in textbooks.” “Gain control of all student newspapers.”

Frankly, I think education is a complete mess. I’m not suggesting that what we have/had before is adequate (it isn’t). What I’m suggesting is that we should not think of this as a win yet. While it provides negotiating leverage, it ultimately is highly susceptible to communist and socialist infiltration.

Think about it from a business lifecycle: At first, it’ll be entrepreneurial and exciting. Then you’ll see some innovators start to lead the way while others fail. After that, we’ll see consolidation.

This doesn’t happen in a year; it happens over the course of many years. After awhile, because businesses move more slowly as they reach maturity, the reality is that we won’t see the subtle changes that will get us in the exact same situation as we have with Google, for example.

There’s some silver lining here if we can move this to a state/local level. But, even then, there’s a lot that can - and undoubtedly will - go wrong. Don’t forget that dems & liberals do not play by the rules. Often, they change them.

Plus, think about how much resistance we can expect from people who have power now, but are at risk for being disenfranchised by the change. How will they influence the discussion? How will they use/abuse their credentials to influence policy?

Just think about this and share your concerns with others. The more eyes and voices we have in shaping education, the better. If you don’t speak up, even if you don’t have kids, you’re inviting America’s demise. That’s not an exaggeration.

Been looking for a house outside the cities. Is this in California somewhere? Love the flag & flagpole.
