Mary was walking down a dark alley late at night, when suddenly a big man jumped out of the shadows and started tearing her clothes off. She wasn’t worried. She knew she’d left her money at home.

next, they’ll be leaving the doors and windows of their homes open, and walking around with their pockets turned inside out. Submit to the Media-Dem Party’s footsoldiers of domination and destruction.

When I was a child (early 1950s) my father would leave his convertible doors unlocked after punks’ knife slashing of canvas tops to get at items on seat.

In high school, one of my classmates came to class late because a homeless man was sleeping in her backseat and peed in it while he was sleeping.

I’ve also read on independent media that Qanon folks
