Cut and paste from a post by @AssocAnderson @vademocrats are trying once again to amend The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This time with separate amendments. The three constitutional amendments on the ballot this November have nasty stuff baked into them. Gay marriage amendment - adds gender as a protected class to the constitution. As applied in other states - this is when the state can take your child from you if you don’t affirm their transgender identity. Felon right to vote - adds a provision that allows someone who has been declared legally incompetent the right to still vote. Abortion amendment - restricts the state from imposing any meaningful laws on abortion authorizing abortion up to birth for mental health reasons.

Happy Birthday to the United States Army. On this day 14 June 1775 the First Continental Army was established Hooah!!!

@mec1539 I am afraid to go to these events due to potential gun violence, don’t want to put my son in danger

Disgusting greed of the US and FIFA crushed my son’s dreams He was saving for two years to see Germany play in a World Cup Yesterday we flew to Houston to purchase tickets for the first match “That will be $2,400 plus tip” we heard in a ticket booth “Tip?” I was sure this is a joke “Yes, mandatory 25% tip is not included” I froze from shock “Total of $3,000. Cash or card?” My son looked at me with crying eyes “We cannot afford it, Heinrich” I said “But papa, we came such a long way” he was sobbing I hugged him, feeling my heart is breaking “This would never happened in the EU” he whispered “No son, it would not” I said while wiping tears off my eyes America must never be allowed to interfere with European sports again

Hell no!! IMO this man is …. If I write what I truly feel about @BarackObama @X @elonmusk will ban me for life.

@JamesHu27192912 Yes I did. It was a great time to be alive.

Don’t argue with people over sixty. Just don’t. It’s not just an age; it’s a masterclass in survival. They grew up without Google, without DoorDash, without therapy podcasts, and without an "undo" button. If something broke, they grabbed duct tape, WD-40, a hammer, and a look of sheer determination that made even the broken appliance second-guess itself. As kids, they knew exactly what kind of mood their mom was in just by the sound of how hard she slammed the cast-iron skillet onto the stove. They were the original latchkey kids — walking home from middle school with a house key tied around their neck, with strict orders to heat up lunch and not burn the kitchen down. By the time they were ten, they could bike to the corner store, buy a gallon of milk for the neighbor, feed the family dog, and still have time to play freeze tag in the yard until dark. Their knees were a permanent canvas of scrapes, bruises, and rubbing alcohol. Their universal first-aid kit was just a quick wash under the garden hose and a Band-Aid. If a bone wasn't sticking out, you were fine. They drank water straight from that same hose, ate Wonder Bread covered in butter and sugar, shared a single glass bottle of Coke among five friends, and somehow didn't die from a lack of sanitization. This is the generation that knows how to rewind a cassette tape with a No. 2 pencil. They know the suspense of waiting all week for a movie to air on TV, because if you missed it, it was gone. They remember rotary phones, looking up a family in a massive paper phonebook, and the excitement of getting a color television. They survived party lines, typewriter ribbons, early brick cell phones, and flip phones — and today, they might accidentally send you a 7-minute voice memo where the first 6 minutes are just them breathing and asking, "Hello? Can you hear me?" And don't you dare laugh. Because without a GPS, these people could drive halfway across the country using nothing but an old paper map, a cooler full of sandwiches, and the gut feeling that "the exit should be coming up somewhere around here." They are the ultimate masters of household magic. They can stitch, tighten, glue, and fix just about anything. And somewhere in their pantry, they have a "bag of bags" that is literally older than half the gadgets you own. Leave people over sixty alone. They saw the world before the internet, and they navigated the world after it. And through it all, they didn't just get by — they thrived.

🚨SEE NO EVIL: Virginia House budget would halt campaign finance audits "A budget provision released Friday by Democrats in the House of Delegates would send Virginia back to the days when the public had to accept on faith that candidates’ campaign finance disclosures were complete and accurate." "A nine-word sentence – 'That § 24.2-948.5 of the Code of Virginia is repealed' – would strip the Virginia Department of Elections of its authority to audit campaign finance reports." "The post-election audits, which the General Assembly approved in 2022, put candidates on notice for the first time that they may be called upon to provide bank records, invoices and other documentation to verify their fundraising and spending." "The House budget language, if approved by the General Assembly, would halt the current Department of Elections review of campaign finance disclosures filed by candidates who ran last November." ... "The law requires all candidates for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general to turn over campaign financial records to the elections department." ...

Applicants for government backed loans (SBA) now must provide a birth date and pass a citizenship check—something that "has never existed in the 72-year history" of the agency So what does that mean? We're going to see A LOT LESS foreign owned businesses in America WHY TF DID IT TAKE 7 DECADES TO FIGURE THIS OUT?!?

The most interesting thing about a Scottish Highland Great Kilt is that it's a "skirt". This is how they wear a traditional one. [📹andythehighlander]

It’s hilarious that today’s @vademocrats are trying to pass & enforce state laws that were, in part, why the Union went to war against Virginia during its secession Jefferson Davis would be proud @GovernorVA @SpeakerDonScott @SenLouiseLucas

Hier une Chapelle à Tregastel est en feu mais aussi un cloître à Condom où des livres du XVIe siècle partent en fumée (plus de 4300 livres archivés). C'est quand même curieux tous ces édifices religieux qui font la fierté de la France et ses racines chrétiennes qui brulent! Et comme l'Etat n'a plus de moyens (enfin sauf financer l'immigration de masse, l'Ukraine...!), la fondation du Patrimoine devrait lancer un appel aux dons pour rénover l'édifice dans les prochaines semaines!!!

👇 Boston, last night. We probably need to explain to our very welcoming American hosts that this is actually a sign of affection.💙 🇺🇸💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🤜🤛
