“Stand your ground; don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.”
John Parker
But happened anyway. No one really knows who fired the first shot….1 British soldier and 8 colonists were shot in ensuing melee.
(You can find lots of links in Google so I am not gonna provide one)
Thus began the opening skirmish that led to our country being born.
Paul Revere and William Dawes and Samuel Prescott set out to warn the colonists about the approaching British and their plans to confiscate the colonists ability to defend themselves by taking all the powder. They warned the colonists and set other messengers to spread out over the countryside to do the same.
Listen my Children, and you shall hear….of the midnight ride of Paul Revere. (William Dawes and Samuel Prescott kinda got screwed, but their rides were no less heroic)
Take a moment this evening and raise a glass to the three men who warned the colonists that the British were coming, and gave them time to prepare. Things may well have turned out differently were it not for the warning they gave.
As it is, realize that those in power have been trying to take our guns (and thus our ability to resist tyranny) for two and a half centuries.
The government is merely a servant―merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn’t. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.
– Mark Twain
Pretty much spot on too
One thing I’ve noticed is that the higher IQ they seem to be, the worse they are.
that it was Fluoride …no wait, it was vaccines……nope it was food dyes just a few days ago……
Now the RFK cause (for this week, at least) for autism is…(pick 1 or more ?)
‘Environmental pollution”
or maybe
Bisphenol A (BPA) from plastics…
or maybe
“synthetic pesticides”
or maybe…….”Ultrasound Scans”
Or it could be something else ,,,,since all the above have been discarded by anyone who has more than 3 neurons to rub together.
(He really hit the top Conspiracy theories though, didn’t he?.)..I guess he is trying to please the more radical (and less well educated) folks that claim autism is “increasing”. despite the fact that the definition of Autism has changed dramatically in the past 50 years……
He forgot to add artificial fats, or seed oils, or hydrogenated oils, or maybe sunspots. Just a few years ago it was the precursor chemicals to Teflon for cookware….
Not that the above will make any difference to the True Believers
His beliefs make sense….if you failed 8th grade science class…
Were it not for the nutballs on the internet giving him credence and support he would have been dismissed as a complete loon long ago.
He is proving over and over that he is not fit to head HHS or any public health agency. Or any agency that requires any science or logic…..He night be a good fit for BATF(e) though…..
BTW: For those who don’t know, this is the new definition of Autism
Anyone who can show several of these symptoms (Doesn’t have to be ALL of them, just 4 or more…how many do you have? ) is defined as Autistic….
Specific signs of autism may include:
Reactions to smell, taste, look, feel or sound are unusual
Difficulty adapting to changes in routine
Unable to repeat or echo what is said to them
Difficulty expressing desires using words or motions
Unable to discuss their own feelings or other people’s
Difficulty with acts of affection like hugging
Prefer to be alone and avoid eye contact
Difficulty relating to other people
Unable to point at objects or look at objects when others point to them
“Some people never grow because they never learn from their mistakes”
“Keep your feet on the ground, Make good choices. No one will care how you bleed”
“Never accept criticism from anyone from whom you would not accept advice”
“Some people love you because they see in you a light that calls to their own”
“Every man dies. Not every man really lives.”
“Understand the difference between being looked at and being seen”
“The truth often hurts the weak”
“Relationships end: How you behave afterwards demonstrates your character”
But, shockingly, the FBI has hindered the outside investigation of the attempted assassination of D.J. Trump:
Even more interesting are some of the details: No toxicology testing on the body of Mr Crooks, which was released after only 8 days…and immediately cremated.
Apparently there is some correlation of locations between certain cell phones and Mr Crooks phone, well before the day of the assassination… and ON THAT DAY.
Lots of other details too.
