    Personal interaction | 29 January 2024 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
    In communication with illegal alien customers where I work, they are telling me repeatedly how upset they are with the government for providing all of the freebies, work permit and discussion of citizenship (Kamala Harris), etc. to recent illegal arrivals while those working here for a long time can not even get work permits. About the only support Democrats have left are hard core brain-washed individuals and recent arrivals. The ONLY way they can win elections now is by outright cheating. This can not continue and we be able to keep our republic.

    The American Thinkier ^ | 2 January 2024 | Olivia Murray
    The fact that the hordes of new arrivals know all the loopholes and legal angles to scam our immigration laws and maximize benefits on our welfare system, while the working American does not, is really quite astounding, and tells me that there have to be a number of lawyers involved, telling these people what they can do to cheat American citizens out of a country. Check out this story, reported by the New York Post yesterday: Two New York City men staged armed robberies at convenience stores and fast food joints across the United States to scheme immigration benefits, federal...

    Relative having major health problem | 16 November 2023 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
    Freepers, need your help. Does anyone on here have a family member or friend who has gained massive weight and excessive overeating is NOT causing it. I have great 2nd cousin-in-law who is approaching 500lbs, has always been a bit heavy, but not THAT heavy. Recently had massive water retention and went from 275-300 lbs to 500lbs, resulting in an ER trip. He and the wife have been to around 20 doctors in the metroplex (Dallas-Fort Worth) who have run a myriad of tests, found that his heart is fine, his cholesterol and blood pressure are normal, no diabetes and...

    We don't just have Hamas supporters in Congress, we also have them in the Pentagon.The David Horowitz Freedom Center recently exposed Yousra Fazili’s family ties to Islamic terror. In 2019, Yousra Fazili addressed a congressional hearing to complain about the arrest of her cousin by Indian authorities. The woman who now serves as Chief of Staff for the Pentagon Comptroller claimed that her cousin was the innocent victim of oppressive Indian authorities. In reality, as the Hindu Post noted, Shah had “lionized Kashmiri jihadists, agreed with a description of convicted terrorists as ‘inspirations for the youth,’ and promised that ‘we...

    NewsMax ^ | 13 September 2023
    A federal judge in New Mexico on Wednesday issued a temporary restraining order against state Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s ban on carrying guns in Albuquerque and its surrounding county, on grounds it violated the U.S. constitution. U.S. District Court Judge David Urias said the governor's 30-day suspension of concealed and open firearm carry rights went against recent U.S. Supreme Court rulings and violated the rights of law-abding citizens to defend themselves. “They just want the right to carry their guns,” Urias said of the several plaintiffs who requested restraining orders on Lujan Grisham's Sept. 8 emergency public health order. The...
  • Regional Management Corporation (RM) refused to take my call for a question during their conference call

    I was listening to the Regional Management Conference call on earnings today, August 2, 2023 at 4 p.m. and pressed the appropriate key strokes to ask a question. However, the Regional Management company decided not to take my call and allowed others to ask questions which were obviously tilted in RM's favor. My question was going to be why net credit losses were much greater in a year-to-year comparison from 2022 to 2023 (68058 in '22 and 97619 in '23) as well as why there was a significant increase in Provision for credit losses from 76258 in '22 to 100219...

Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger announced the plans at a joint oversight hearing of the Capitol Police Board, describing a 300% increase in threats to members of Congress over the past seven years.

    Electric vehicle manufacturers have exaggerating the driving range of their vehicles by more than twice as much as advertised in some cases, according to a study by SAE International. On average, electric vehicles (EV) fall short of their advertised range by 12.5%, according to a study by SAE International. The study included 21 different brands, and revealed that EV manufacturers as a whole inflate the range of their vehicles far beyond their actual capabilities. Tesla seems to be inflating the numbers far more than other brands. SAE International revealed that the range displayed on Tesla vehicle’s dashboard is 26% lower...

Foti, Jr., Esq., a partner at the law firm of Kahn Swick & Foti, LLC (“KSF”), announces that KSF has commenced an investigation into Rivian Automotive, Inc. (NasdaqGS: RIVN).

    Business Insider ^ | 12 June 2023 | Nora Naughton
    When Chase Merrill took his first ride in his new Rivian R1S, it was his favorite car that he had ever driven. Merrill, 24, put down a deposit on an R1S three years ago at the urging of family members who also own Rivians. He was unsure about making the switch from his 2015 Ford Edge to a fully electric SUV, especially since he lives in a relatively remote area in the Adirondack Mountains, New York. But once he got behind the wheel of the $85,626 car on March 10, those worries melted away. "I was in a honeymoon phase,"...

    Reuters ^ | 6 July 2023 | Jonathan Stempel
    July 6 (Reuters) - A federal judge said Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) must face a lawsuit claiming it defrauded shareholders during and after its blockbuster 2021 initial public offering by concealing that had underpriced its electric vehicles, leading to unpopular price hikes. U.S. District Judge Josephine Staton in Los Angeles said shareholders could try to prove that Rivian, which is not profitable, knew it would have to raise prices on its R1S SUV and R1T pickup truck because of higher materials costs, to avoid even bigger losses. Rivian's share price slid 39% over 10 days after the Irvine, California-based company on...

    A friend trued to buy chicks today | 18 July 2023 | Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
    Someone I know went to Tractor Supply today to buy a chick. The individual was told that he/she had to supply a phone number and updated address to buy the chicks. I called and asked about the situation and a manager confirmed it. No address, no chicks. He claimed it was a Tractor Supply policy, but I know better than that. Obviously, the Feds are noticing huge numbers of people buying chicks are are now forcing retailers to track who's buying. All of this has gone too far. I am going to call this the beginning of the Chicken Wars.
