Another political party. Elon Musk. I think he is playing both sides of the fence

Musk said he's carrying out his threat to form a new political party after a falling out with Trump over the president's sweeping tax cuts law.

Such a large group of Anti American policies requiring tariffs. Are tariffs the right manuever?

Wall Street's major indexes closed sharply lower on Monday, after U.S. President Donald Trump announced hefty tariffs against Japan, South Korea and other trading partners while Tesla shares sank after CEO Elon Musk said he was forming a new U.S. political party.

I remember this day. I remember this moment.
The year was 2014.

This brave father was hanged by the Islamic regime of Iran — in front of his own daughter.

His only “crime”? Daring to speak up for women’s rights. Daring to dream of a free Iran.

As he stood before the noose, knowing his little girl would watch him die, his final act was one of courage — he faced his killers with dignity. The Ayatollah’s regime made sure she watched, hoping to break her spirit too. But they failed.

Every Iranian must remember this man. Every father, mother, daughter.

This is what the Islamic Republic does — publicly executes dissidents, silences hope, and turns children into witnesses of horror.

And yet, the world is silent.
The UN looks away.

Western politicians like Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his supporters defend these monsters in the name of “anti-imperialism,” all while real people are being butchered.

This is the regime Emmanuel Macron said should not be destabilized.

So Iranians should just accept this? Accept a future of chains?

To hell with that.

We will remember this man — not as a victim, but as a hero.

And one day, his daughter will live in a free Iran.
And those who stood by silently will have to answer.

🚨 VICTORY! In a landmark ruling, the Supreme Court has just affirmed that Tennessee and other states may ban dangerous gender-transition procedures for minors.
Leading this amicus brief and winning this case means that our own Indiana ban of these abusive practices—which we are defending in Court— is now safe as well from the current attack from those that want to harm our kids.

Anonymously Speaking

December 5 2024
by Kimberly Mann

Anonymously speaking ; , there is very little reason to write anonymously on social media. This is the answer to a question posed. If someone wants to know who wrote something, it only takes a little digging or knowledge of a person’s grammar and literary style to discover the person behind the pen. But, there is another reason not to post anonymously.

Arguments for a blind post consist of but not limited to “political firing is rampant”, “friends will unfriend me”, and “people will attack me personally”. All of these are actually arguments for posting with your real name.

Be resolute in your beliefs. If you believe what you write or say, then it is something to be stood for with heels dug in firmly. It’s not the easy way but it is the right way. When someone attacks you personally for a statement, show them the right way of having a disagreement by requesting facts that oppose the information provided.

Having your say is what the United States is all about. It’s the one thing that sets us apart from other nations. When we back down from that fight to have our voices heard or let others fall because of retaliation by government sources regardless of our agreement or disagreement, we have ripped off another piece of that treasured paper which reads First Amendment.

It takes a village is a jaw dropping phrase when put into action. When villagers stand against wolves that want to devour them for breakfast, they find ways to defend every living soul. When citizens stand with their name firmly written in the ground for our Constitution, they not only improve the life of those they stand for but also their families and loved ones who will enjoy the riches of Freedom of Speech.

LRS says Cash Is King

November 22 2024
by Kimberly Mann

There are some situations that call for going above and beyond a meaningless response such as when a service company tried to implement a fee to pay with cash. Come to find out, Cash is still King!

LRS, LLC took over Michiana Recycling somewhere in 2023. We aren’t sure exactly when because like other citizens, we weren’t notified. Their billing practices seemed undesirable but they had a good price and we had been very happy with the driver on our route. Excellent service.

Then things changed. As we were preparing for the oncoming winter, cleaning out some closets and the barn, a letter from LRS, LLC arrived with some startling news. The invoice date was October 25, 2024 but the received date was November 7 2024. This type of “slow mail” seemed to only affect LRS over the past year or more. Included with the slow invoice was a letter addressed to customers who do not pay with credit/debit card. That’s us. We believe Cash is King.

The letter stated to customers in order to pay with cash/check we would be charged a 9.95 fee per transaction or sign up for autopay. The blood boiled and the letter along with the invoice almost became laminated and taped to the top of their trash bin on our property accompanied by a big sign that said “CANCEL OUR SERVICE”.

We had originally helped Michiana/LRS become established along our road. Our neighbors were all encouraged to switch their service to Michiana. We felt their service and price were reasonable.

The matter took on a different direction after engaging with others on Social Media. We decided our best course of action was to contact the Indiana Attorney General’s Consumer Complaint division. Within 1 week, we received a reply letter in the mail that indicated they would mediate the complaint.

On November 21, Kenton Munn-Supervisor Customer Experience from LRS in Jackson Michigan left a voicemail and sent an email explaining “We will continue to accept cash and checks for payment, so I apologize if you were informed differently. I have noted your account (for the address ----------- LaPorte IN 46350) that you have declined autopay and are exempt from the $9.95 manual fee….”

We would like to thank LRS,llc for their quick response to the Indiana Attorney General’s office concerning our complaint and the Consumer Complaint division of the Indiana Attorney General’s office for their help in establishing that Cash is King!

Anyone that has problems concerning this issue is urged to contact the Consumer Complaint division of the Indiana Attorney General and/or contact Kenton Munn at LRS by email at KMunn at LRSrecycles.com. Let us know if LRS has not changed their policy for you or are changing you a "cash/check fee".
