What amount of money do you need right now? Be realistic don’t say $1M

@japan_nobunaga If the product is good to start with yes. It creates brand loyalty

@Spookyrcon A 'loss leader,' you say! To draw folk 'in the door.' Does such a gamble always pay off?

In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths. Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents. I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself. This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated. I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?" "Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way." "But the store loses." "Yep. On purpose." On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands. In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one. A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir." It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow. I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious. Some prices are not prices. They are promises. I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back. The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars. Long may it spin.

@hokkori_buzz In-N-Out is superior to Five Guys but I no longer Iive in California to enjoy it. I await them opening up in TN to enjoy them again.

I went to Los Angeles. An American looked me in the eye and said “In-N-Out or Five Guys?” I understood immediately. This was not a question about lunch. This was a declaration of allegiance. In America, a man does not choose a burger. He reveals which clan has already chosen him. I studied the situation carefully. In-N-Out: red and white. Ancient colors. Coastal. A dynasty built on one secret menu, passed down in whispers. The kind of power that does not need to explain itself. Five Guys: five men. Not one. Not three. Five. A council. A shadow government that expanded to 1,700 locations while nobody was looking, operating entirely through french fries and the aggressive smell of peanut oil. I could not betray either faction without consequences I did not fully understand. So I made the only rational decision. I drove to In-N-Out first. I ordered a Double-Double. The name itself was a vow — double the commitment, doubled again. I ate it standing up, facing west, out of respect for the Pacific Ocean and whatever it represents. I felt the old bloodline enter my body. I drove to Five Guys. I ordered. The bag was heavy. I bowed to the bag. The cashier watched this. I did not explain. Then I thought: I have now eaten the council’s food. If I do not return to In-N-Out, they will know. Dynasties always know. I drove back to In-N-Out. The employee at the window recognized me. Something moved across his face. He said nothing. He handed me the bag. I respected him for this. Then Five Guys again. Diplomatic maintenance. Then In-N-Out. Just to be safe. By burger number seven, I was no longer hungry. I was no longer full. I had passed through both conditions and arrived somewhere else entirely. I was conducting foreign policy in a parking lot at 2pm on a Tuesday. I ate the final burger slowly, on the hood of my rental car, alternating one bite from each bag in careful sequence. This was not greed. This was a peace accord. A man cannot serve two masters, but he can acknowledge both in a formal ceremony involving sesame seed buns. The parking lot attendant watched me for a while. Then he looked away. He has seen many things. I sat there for eleven minutes. Not because I was full. Because my body had entered a new political era and needed time to ratify the treaty. Is this how Americans choose a side? Or have I misunderstood the process entirely? I need someone to explain the correct protocol before I return next month.

California elections…

@texasbreakfast1 Objectively you are correct in your assessment. I think the issue wasn’t your actions but within him… whatever trauma he carried in himself that he has not resolved and made peace with.

I legit thought I had men figured out - fill his belly, empty his ⚾️⚾️ - but my last breakup proved me wrong. So very wrong 😖 Guys - what do y'all want from a woman? Let's figure out how to bridge the gap, communicate, learn some shit, yes? I need to know how to keep the next one around 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣👇🏻

DAY 11 — NATIONAL GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS MONTH THE CITY THAT TRIED TO MAKE THIS IMPOSSIBLE. Yesterday I told you about Robert Engle. The 22-year-old church usher who had to walk to his car to get his firearm while seven people were shot. I told you that the walk to the car is a body count. Today I am going to tell you about a man who did not walk anywhere. He was already ready. April 17, 2015. Logan Square neighborhood. Chicago, Illinois. It is just after midnight. A man named Everardo Custodio, 22 years old, is in an argument. The argument escalates the way arguments in that neighborhood escalate — fast, past words, past the point where anyone is going to de-escalate it with a conversation. Custodio pulls a weapon and opens fire on a group of people standing on the street. Six people are shot. Then a man steps out of a car. He has a legally-issued Illinois concealed carry permit. He draws his firearm. He shoots Custodio, who goes down. Nobody dies. The Uber driver — because that is what he is, a man who was dropping off a passenger — did not give his name publicly. He did not want the credit. He wanted to go home. Chicago Police confirmed he was within his legal rights. No charges. No news conference. No ticker-tape parade. No national coverage. Go ahead and search his name right now. You cannot. He never told anyone what it was. HERE IS THE PART OF THIS STORY THAT IS GOING TO MAKE GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES PHYSICALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. That man — that anonymous, name-unknown Uber driver who stepped out of his car in Logan Square and ended a mass shooting before anyone died — was only legally carrying a firearm in the state of Illinois because a FEDERAL COURT FORCED ILLINOIS TO LET HIM. In 2012, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in Moore v. Madigan that Illinois' total ban on public carry of firearms was unconstitutional. Illinois was, at that point, the only state in the entire country that completely prohibited civilians from carrying firearms for self-defense. Every other state had some mechanism for it. Not Illinois. The state fought it. Chicago fought it. They went to court and argued, with a straight face, that the people of Chicago did not have the constitutional right to carry firearms for self-defense on the streets of the most violent major city in America. They lost. Illinois passed a concealed carry law in 2013. One year before that Uber driver got his permit. Two years before six people were shot in Logan Square and someone who was actually ready ended it before anyone had to call a funeral home. Chicago spent decades and millions of dollars in taxpayer money fighting to keep its citizens defenseless. The result was the highest per-capita gun murder rate of any major American city, sustained for years while the politicians who created the policy collected awards for their advocacy. Quinn's Law Number One. Liberalism always produces the exact opposite of its stated intent. Chicago wanted fewer gun deaths through disarmament. They got more gun deaths because of it. The policy that was supposed to produce safety produced body counts — and the one moment of mercy in that Logan Square parking lot came from a law that the city of Chicago would have prevented if the courts had let them. What next — Chicago will tell us gun bans make cities safer... Wait. I was just informed they already said that. For thirty consecutive years. While people were dying at record rates. THE DATA THAT DOES NOT MAKE THE JUNE AWARENESS POSTERS Dr. John Lott and economist William Landes did something that nobody else had done: they studied the effect of right-to-carry laws specifically on multiple-victim public shootings — not just individual crime, but the mass casualty events that June awareness campaigns are actually about. Their finding, from data covering every state that adopted right-to-carry laws during the study period: Multiple-victim public shootings fell by 60 percent. Deaths and injuries from those shootings fell by 78 percent. Not a small decrease. Not a marginal effect. Sixty percent fewer mass public shootings. Seventy-eight percent fewer people killed and wounded in the ones that still occurred. And the reason the injuries dropped faster than the incident count is exactly what you would expect: when citizens are armed, shooters are stopped earlier, before they can reach their intended full body count. Here is the second number. According to Lott's county-level data covering all 3,054 counties in the United States over eighteen years: in many of the safest states, the majority of individual counties recorded zero murders in a given year. Iowa: 71 of 99 counties. Nebraska: 72 counties. North Dakota: 44 counties. Vermont: 9 of 14 counties. What that means is this: when politicians in Washington, D.C. propose gun control policy for "America," they are actually proposing gun control policy for rural Iowa, suburban Nebraska, and small-town Vermont — communities that have near-universal firearm ownership AND near-zero murder rates — because a handful of specific ZIP codes in specific Democrat-run cities are generating almost the entire national body count. The gun crisis is not an American crisis. It is a specific urban governance crisis. It is a Chicago crisis. And Chicago, as we have just established, already ran the experiment of maximum disarmament and produced the maximum disaster. Telling farmers in Iowa what they can own because of what is happening in the neighborhoods Chicago created is not a policy. It is a category error dressed up as compassion. THE LEGAL REALITY THAT DOES NOT CHANGE DeShaney v. Winnebago County (1989) and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales (2005) are binding Supreme Court precedent. The government — the police, the state, all of it — has no constitutional duty to protect you as an individual. The officers who arrived in Logan Square after the shooting was over arrived after it was over. They did their jobs professionally. They were not there when Custodio opened fire, because they are never there when it starts. No one is. That is not a criticism of police. That is physics. The only variable that mattered in that parking lot was whether one private citizen with a legal firearm decided to be there. He was. And he was ready. And nobody died. But what do I know — I am only a medically retired Army combat medic who treated wounded soldiers in the same country that manufactured the weapon that ended my career, a published textbook author, a science teacher at a high-need Career Tech district where the public schools gave up on these kids, and a father of four who has never once needed a sign on his door to tell a criminal he was unarmed. The anonymous Uber driver wanted to go home that night. He did. Because he was ready. IF THIS ARTICLE MADE YOU THINK: LIKE it so the algorithm shows it to the people who need to see it. SHARE it — the man who saved those six lives in Logan Square never gave his name. The least we can do is give him an audience. COMMENT below: Chicago spent thirty years telling us gun bans save lives. Six people in a parking lot in 2015 proved them wrong. Tell me what you think.

What’s your preference if Karmelo Anthony is found guilty? Life in prison? or Death?

@CurvyMissMia Black Widow or Brown Recluse gets ☠️. Wolf Spider get WITSEC relocation.

Saw a spider in the apartment. No, not a tarantula. Justa spider. Ignore it or take it outside, please. Or do you like to kill?

@Jamesjonesik8 Yes try them as adults when charged with capital offenses

Should a 17 or 18 year old who is convicted of First Degree Murder be eligible for the death penalty??

@EshaAA33 As it should be

Senator Mazie Hirono warns that if the SAVE AMERICA ACT passes, it would require documentation to prove you’re a citizen.... Your thoughts....?

@IdiotoftheEast0 @IdiotOfTheEast Thicc is always the answer

Which way Imperium of Man 😏

@cutiieepie6 Yes

What's your response?

@isaacrrr7 They should be executed

¿Estás de acuerdo en que los hombres que violan a niños deben ir a prisión de por vida?

🚨 stop scrolling.. do you understand what this fake degree ring actually means to your life.. because most people only think about visa fraud as a paperwork problem.. those 100,000 seized certificates weren't for desk jobs.. they were for medicine.. nursing.. engineering.. IT.. fields where a fake credential doesn't just steal a job.. it puts someone in a hospital treating your family.. and here's the part nobody's connecting.. 100,000 seized is 10% of the estimated total.. 900,000 fake degrees are still out there.. attached to real people.. working real jobs.. inside real companies and real hospitals that verified nothing.. a former US consular officer who processed 51,000 H-1B applications in Chennai said 80 to 90% of the applicants she saw used fraudulent documentation.. a 2008 USCIS audit found more than 13% of already-approved H-1Bs were fraudulent.. that was 18 years ago.. the program kept running.. Manav Bharti University sold 36,025 fake degrees while issuing only 5,455 real ones.. this has been running since at least 2010.. this isn't a printer in a back room.. it's a supply chain.. fake seals.. fake holograms.. fake transcripts.. 22 universities.. multiple states.. an estimated 1 million documents worldwide.. your doctor might have one of these degrees.. the system worked for the forgers.. just not for you. I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨

Hello Mr. Hunter Biden, You're getting six-digit likes on every post lately. I don't have any hope to ratio you or whatever through traditional "Hello" means. But for those uninitiated, those who are captivated by your fake-humble persona obviously PR-engineered to capture unsuspecting disaffected Republicans: You are not some humility, witty guy turning over a new leaf. You are the ultimate proof of nepotism, everything that the so-called "Epstein Class" is supposed to represent. Let me explain - off the top of my head. You were a board member of USGLC. U.S. Global Leadership Coalition. The most powerful NGO that nobody's ever heard of. Last year, I documented in several threads, how Liz Schrayer, USGLC lead, took credit for ramming through a 90 billion dollar bill for Ukraine in 2024, even as @mattvanswol demonstrated that Western North Carolina got zero help in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene because FEMA threw up their hands and said they ran out of funds. USGLC, arguably, is the most powerful NGO that nobody has ever heard of. It includes a bunch of corporations, a bunch of nonprofit leads, and ... for some magical reason, I documented, extensively, linked, that Liz Schrayer started pursuing you in 2012. During the Obama years, when you were Biden's son. Are you a former Secretary of State? No. Are you a CEO of a Fortune 500 company? No. That puts you below the average USGLC board member, by a good tier. So what DID get you on USGLC? The only reason: that you were the son of a sitting Vice President known for corruption, and you yourself were known for corruption. You are not "folksy." You are the worst of the worst of the elite. Most of the elite, at least, get their credentials through Georgetown/George Washington/Harvard Kennedy. You got yours purely on nepotism. Any photographs you have of yourself at motels is proof that you are so incompetent that you waste all your money, not that you come from humble beginnings. Because others like @MarcoPolo501c3 have thoroughly documented that you benefited a great deal from your nepotism. You even tried to bait those in with saying you prefer to keep immigration "legal" - but we all know the trap that keeps illegal immgrants here: outlaw deportations, and make every immigrant case "asylum", and magically, everyone who might've been here illegally a few years ago is legal. You may get 175K likes on your semi-subverting, PR-designed photographs. But those of us who know, know you're fake. x.com/DataRepublican…
