This mother’s words will wreck you.
Her teenage son was murdered by a repeat criminal who was back out on the streets.
When she got to the hospital, they told her his body was now a “crime scene.” She couldn’t touch him. Couldn’t hug him. Couldn’t say goodbye.
Nurses physically stopped her: “You can’t touch him. He’s evidence. We can’t risk tampering with it.”
His feet were still sticking out from under the blanket — in little socks. She will never get that last embrace.
This is what soft-on-crime policies and revolving-door “justice” do to American families.
How many more mothers have to live with this agony before we put the criminals — not the victims — behind bars for good?

@BrandonDonkey2 I always do my best to look at every side of a situation. If I don’t understand something I may ask questions. However- do so to learn/understand not derail 🤷🏻♀️

I still believe in the goodness of Americans.
I still believe in the people who serve quietly, ask for nothing, and deserve everything.
Today, strangers made sure a 98 year old WWII veteran did not walk alone into history.
God keep John Bernard Arnold III.
And God bless the people who showed up for him. 🙏

🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of people have just shown up to the funeral of 98-year old John Bernard Arnold III, a WW2 veteran with no known relatives. The public was invited to attend to ensure the veteran was honored and not laid to rest alone. Hundreds came. Absolutely beautiful.

Another American has just been informed half her property will be seized with eminent domain by Georgia Power to support Data Centers
“They are going to demo all of these trees, playhouse, fence, fire pits, the pool, the spa, all of this, including our two neighbors' houses. They're completely demoing theirs. This easement is only going to be 12 feet our house, 12 feet from our bedroom where we sleep”
“I am just one of many homeowners who are impacted by Georgia Power's high voltage power lines that that are going in to support data centers that are being built all over”
It affects over 330 private properties. Georgia Power says it will negotiate purchases and easements and use eminent domain
Georgia Power claims its to strengthen the grid for the growing energy demand in Georgia due to many new data centers
We should not be letting this happen. We need protections from data center projects

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!
A California judge let a CONVICTED CHILD MOL*STER walk out of his courtroom...
...after a jury convicted him on SIX FELONY COUNTS of se*ually abusing an 11-year-old girl.
He has now been on the RUN FOR 9 MONTHS!!!
The DA begged the judge not let him out, but did it anyway.
Carl Cacconie was facing 18 years in prison, but instead, Judge McLaughlin let him post bail and walk out with a GPS ankle monitor.
10 days later, the ankle monitor mysteriously "lost connection" and when probation finally called him, Cacconie told them he was "charging the anklet."
THEY BELIEVED HIM.
He skipped sentencing and now a convicted child mol*ster is FREE because ONE California judge refused to take him into custody.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?!!!!!!!!

@Supersonic_Red @VERBAL_CHANCLA Born in 61 and never felt like a ‘boomer’ felt more like Gen X. This seem more spot on!

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones.
And honestly, it explains a lot.
We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media.
We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life.
That is not a small thing.
People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly.
Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that.
We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to.
We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming.
We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime.
We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen.
And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one.
That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials.
A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time.
We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them.
That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us.
But we exist.
We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age.
And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

🚨OH. MY. GOSH!!!
A 19-year-old girl is DE*D after a man with FOUR PRIOR ARRESTS... including for ASSAULTING WOMEN... FIRED A SHOTGUN through her front door in broad daylight...
...HOURS LATER he came back and M*RDERED HER OUTSIDE HER OWN HOME.
Her name was Camariya Tidwell, she was just 19 years old.
Doorbell video shows Sean Hubbard, 34, of Clover NC, calmly walking up to Camariya's home and BLASTING a shotgun through the screen door in BROAD DAYLIGHT.
The family called police, the police searched for him, but could not find him.
He came back that night and m*rdered Camariya outside her own home.
This was the THIRD attack on the home in FIVE DAYS.
Hubbard has been arrested FOUR times before, including for ASSAULTING WOMEN... PURE EVIL!!!!!
Please pray for Camariya's family.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, this is happening. Nichole and I just made an offer on a new home in Nevada. Like an hour ago. We’re here.
Our 20year-old son just called.
We’re on the cusp of evacuating our home in Thousand Oaks, California because of the “Sandy Fire,” map attached.
Now, we’re driving back south to meet him and our dog in a desert hotel north of LA.
This is real life.
How ironic, California. The reason we’re leaving in a story.
My story.
