THE SKY-PRISON COMMUTE: THE GREAT AMERICAN AIRPORT SHAKEDOWN
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA — I am standing in a security line at Los Angeles International Airport, staring into the dead, glazed eyes of a man who has been screaming "LAPTOPS OUT" for six straight hours. Currently, he is a federal employee. He has a pension. He has health insurance. But if the ghouls behind Project 2025 have their way, this man is about to be "liberated".

It’s predictable battery life — that’s what actually gives you peace of mind.”

The Great Reset: The Fed to The Family
The Great Reset: From "The Fed" to "The Family" For almost a century, the U.S. Dollar has been backed by aircraft carriers and the "full faith and credit" of a government. But the Trump Crime Syndicate has realized that "full faith" is a sucker’s game.
