Welcome to the TRUMP TRAIN THREAD, where all things Trump are welcome!
Feel free to share news, your comments and opinions, memes, recipes, travel photos... the list is endless.
We will be lucky if these new additions to our state are fleeing the socialist nightmares of their old state. Not so much if they’re only coming here for lower taxes and better business opportunities.but keep their woke ideologies.

Looks normal.
My BACON is my BACON!
I am unschooled in the finer points of the law but it seems to me she has admitted that the state of New York is openly engaging in slective prosecution and persecution.
"Rquality under the law" is not just a catchy phrase.
It is a constitutional protection guaranteed under the Firth and Fourteenth Amendments.
It seems to me that President Trump has an open and shut case against the state of New York for violating his 14th Ammendment constitutional protection of equal treatment by a state.

ore information at the link.Equal Protection refers to the idea that a governmental body may not deny people equal protection of its governing laws. The governing body state must treat an individual in the same manner as others in similar conditions and circumstances.
Permissible Discrimination
It is important to acknowledge that a government is allowed to discriminate against individuals, as long as the discrimination satisfies the equal protection analysis outlined below, and described in full detail in this Santa Clara Law Review article.
U.S. Constitution
The Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause requires the United States government to practice equal protection. The Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause requires states to practice equal protection.
Equal protection forces a state to govern impartially—not draw distinctions between individuals solely on differences that are irrelevant to a legitimate governmental objective. Thus, the equal protection clause is crucial to the protection of civil rights.
Equal Protection Analysis
When an individual believes that either the federal government or a state government has violated their guaranteed equal rights, that individual is able to bring a lawsuit against that governmental body for relief.
That sounds good, and easy. I have apples and oranges. I’ve never cooked anything with oranges before though. Maybe I’ll try it for something different.
Does the fruit help to tenderize pork chops?

The American Revolution forged extraordinary heroes from unexpected places and found them in people one might never expect. Young Sybil Ludington was as courageous as any warrior and contributed to our nation’s history as much as another more celebrated Patriot.
____________________________________________________________
On this day in history, February 26, 1839, Sybil Ludington, the “female Paul Revere,” dies.
Sybil Ludington is famed for a midnight ride when she was only 16 years old to raise the New York militia as the British raided Danbury, Connecticut.
Sybil was the eldest daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington, a New York militia leader, member of the Committee of Safety and organizer of a local spy ring, whose home was near present day Paterson, New York. On April 25, 1777, British General and Governor of New York William Tryon landed a raiding expedition on the shores of Fairfield, Connecticut and marched to Danbury the following day. Danbury was a major supply center of the Hudson River Valley based Continental Army, with thousands of barrels of pork, flour, molasses, rice and rum, and other important supplies such as cots, tents and shoes.
When the soldiers arrived in Danbury, they drove off the small militia force guarding the supplies and began to destroy the storehouses and supplies. Soon the soldiers found the rum and, instead of destroying it, consumed it and promptly lost all control. They went on a rampage through the town, burning homes and businesses. There was nothing the commanding officers could do to stop them. Around 4pm messengers were sent in several directions to rouse the local militia to come to Danbury’s aide. One messenger reached Colonel Ludington’s home around 9 in the evening. Ludington was the commander of 400 New York militia, but they were scattered around the area and it was late. The messenger and his horse were exhausted and Ludington himself had only just arrived home from a long stint with the army on the Hudson River.
Sybil either volunteered or was asked by her father to round up the local troops. Sybil got on her own horse, which she had only recently broken, and traveled more than 40 miles round trip, through the towns of Carmel, Mahopac, Kent Cliffs, Stormville and Pecksville. The journey was especially dangerous because the area was filled with soldiers, Loyalists, “Skinners” (outlaws) and runaway troops. At every farmhouse along the way, Sybil told the Minutemen that Danbury was under siege and that the militia was gathering at Ludington’s. She drove her horse on with a stick, while the orange glow from the burning Danbury, which was 25 miles away, could be seen in the distance.
By the time Sybil reached home early in the morning of the 27th, most of the militia had gathered there. They were too late to help Danbury, but they aided Generals David Wooster and Benedict Arnold (this was before he turned traitor to the Patriot cause) in chasing the British back to the coast. They fought in the Battle of Ridgefield, and along the roads in engagements very similar to the Minutemen chasing the British back to Boston after Lexington and Concord.
In 1784 Sybil would marry a Revolutionary War soldier named Edmund Ogden who had served with Captain John Paul Jones on the Bonhomme Richard. Edmund was a farmer and innkeeper in Catskill, New York. Sybil ran the inn herself after Edmund’s death in 1799. In 1811, she moved to Unadilla, New York, to live with her only son, Henry, who was a lawyer. She passed away there on February 26, 1839. Ironically, Sybil’s story was little known until it was published by her great-nephew, Louis S. Patrick, in 1907. She was since honored on a commemorative stamp as an American hero.

“I didn’t realize it was an eagle, impressive!”
~~~~~~~
It sure impressed the heck out of me when it flew into view.
I was panning around and checking out a pair of large birds high in the sky,
way far to the south of the camera. Just specks cavorting among the clouds.
I think the eagle was in the area and came to check out the moving reflection
from the pan tilt zoom security camera I was filming with.
To see the eagle (and the sunsets) best, set the video quality all the way up to 1080p when you have it up on Truth Social. Also, expand the “screen” with the rotate button while in landscape mode. Much, much better viewed that way.
