How we might get R voters mad at R congress critters

What I've been noticing lately in my red town is that Rs have no clue what congress is doing other than what
they are told with a Tucker Carlson spin on it. Plus most of MSM owners want Rs back in charge for their tax
breaks so they won't show Rs in a bad light unless they are forced (Kevin McCarthy shoots & kills George
Santos on House floor)they might report on this if it were to happen.

So how do we get our messaging out with no help from ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN?

POSTCARDS, imagine if you will getting this in the mail........

From...PATRIOTS FOR DEMOCRACY
TO.....Our neighbor @ 1234

Congress is getting ready to vote on HB####, this legislation will eliminate the income tax and replace it with a
30% sales tax on everything, if you have concerns about this please call your C.C. at 111-222-3333 or email them
at i'maweasel.dot com with your concerns, please share this information with friends, neighbors, & co-workers.


Reason I'm thinking postcards right before every stupid thing Rs want to pass.....

A) more cost efficient than radio & TV advertising
B) captive audience, informing everybody should promote political discussion among voters

When reading our mail we have a natural tendency to flip postcards and see what's on the other side, let's
take advantage of this habit as we'll be attacking Rs as a group and the big payoff would come in the
all important 2024 Election. Let's guarantee a BIG BLUE WAVE!

As Malaise says...That is all.

One idea to combat police violence

Don't know what the companies are called (HR people will know) but they can design tests that give employers
an idea of a potential employee's weak & strong points. These tests have various random questions requiring
either a true/false, yes/no, or a multiple choice answer. You'll be instructed to answer as quickly as possible and
try not to over think questions as the test is timed and not answering everything affects the scores.

To keep it simple so everybody understands, a law enforcement agency will ask for a test to identify how a
potential cop might respond in a given situation. Will it be A, B, C, D, or E?

A, LOL & smiling...... what the hell you kids doing? Better clean up your mess before your parents see this.

B. Stern..... requires the kids to clean up their mess instantly while he watches. Mentions possibly calling the parents.

C. Job description requirements........writes them a ticket, or takes them to jail, gives them one phone call.

D. Upset........ grabs the kids by their shirt collars, slaps them and roughs them up. Takes them to jail.

E. Pissed off........beats the crap out of them, waits while getting their story believable, then calls for a ambulance.

Identifying how an individual might react in simple non life threatening situations could keep a lot of people out
of uniform who for public safety shouldn't be in one. Give it to current officers and all the Ds & Es get desk jobs.

Basically a test that would look for personality traits we don't want in a police officer to include but not limited to
Aggressiveness, Revengeful, Short Fuse, Pay Back Attitude, Self-Centeredness, Narcissist, I'm better than you, etc

Could have something similar for gun buyers, could reduce mass shootings.

What ever happened to Matt Gaetz's underage sex trafficking investigation

Did he get his shenanigans swept under the carpet with his money/influence?

Short "feel good" FWD story anyone?

Felt good to me anyway because I didn't kill anyone. Memory got jogged today when talking to 2naSalit,
about traffic accidents, hadn't thought of this in years, happened around 1990.

I almost crushed a woman once who was climbing out of her car that was on it's top. Was first in line leaving the
stop lights on a 4 lane that had an S turn, while in the S I felt like I was losing steering at 30 mph and let off the
gas thinking black ice. Coming out of the S I could see vehicles scattered everywhere and I was getting ready to
crush someone as I only had about 40 feet to stop which would have been impossible for most vehicles on ice.

When out of nowhere my Guardian Angel or hers reminded me of an old article I had read published by GM I believe
on how to drive their big heavy FWD vehicles on ice & snow and started doing it. Turned steering wheel clear to the
right (still going straight because of the ice) pedal to the metal for a split second (spinning the front tires), repeat
as necessary (hitting the gas & letting off) until you're headed the direction you need to be, return steering wheel
to neutral position.

As I passed her she was just getting to her feet and when safely out of the way the car behind me T-boned her car,
seen this in my rear view mirror. And what was really amazing was 2 days later on Saturday morning there's a knock
on my door and she's standing there with a plate of home made chocolate chip cookies and thanked me for saving
her life. "How did you track me down?" I asked , "My husband thinks your Buick Rivera is a great looking old car and
since we live a block north we see it here all the time."

Sure is a small world, and I educated her husband that only Oldsmobile & Cadillac made a FWD in 1970.

This ice driving trick is worth remembering if you have a Front Wheel Dive vehicle. Do a web search for more info.

Car dragged 8 miles on Kan. highway before the semi driver noticed



JOHNSON COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities continue to investigate an accident that sent a woman to the
hospital just before 3:30a.m. Wednesday in Johnson County.

According to Leawood Police, a Kia compact vehicle driven by a 28-year-old woman traveled southbound through a
red light at State Line Road just off Interstate 435.

The car struck the right rear of a westbound Freightliner semi driven by a 70-year-old Overland Park man. The truck
continued to the on-ramp to westbound Interstate 435 and dragged the car underneath for the next eight miles.
Both vehicles finally came to rest near Lackman Road in Lenexa.

Wonder if too much snow on the ground prevented sparks from flying?
