I think that bikers need to come together and go to Minneapolis and take care of business. That's the ONLY way things are going to get straightened out.

We may be at odds with Mamdani over much (and rightfully so) but one thing that we should be able to agree on is that small businesses should not be burdened with excessive fees and fines. We’ll see if he will be able to keep that promise to the small businesses of NYC. It does need to be made clear, however, that supporting small businesses does happen to be a tenet of MAGA to which Mamdani, for whatever his reasons might be, has decided to appeal in this case. https://x.com/ZohranKMamdani/status/1994890085477601610

🙄 Walmart can run their business any way they like and with the rampant theft and overregulation I can understand why they closed stores - the California Government is to blame for both of those issues. However I despise Walmart for using taxpayers to fund a lot of that employment and they are the worst at spying on their customers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkShwczT9Rc

Sounds like it will become a "ghost“ state like IL. The Giant Sucking Sound”: The Exodus from California Continues for Taxpayers and Businesses https://jonathanturley.org/2026/01/09/the-giant-sucking-sound-the-exodus-from-california-continues-for-taxpayers-and-businesses/

I’m disappointed in the MAHA and Kennedy not being more vocal about getting High Fructose Corn Syrup out of our processed food. The epidemic of diabetes is caused by using high fructose in all of our processed foods and drinks. Why is Kennedy radio silent about that…….Oh, I forgot the corn farmers need help (big business). So we get diabetes, and our cars burn gas mixed with Ethanol which causes our cars to get horrible mileage. Ethanol just takes up space in a gallon of gas, it doesn’t boost octane.

If anyone is interested in using household cleaners, with out chemicals, let me know. There is a lot more than cleaners, make up, even BEEF. And more. Back 33 years ago, I started using a product, that a friend told me about. I didn't start because she was a friend. I started because I used a product. I'm getting ahead of myself. The owner of the products don't want it to be word of mouth. Which I think is stupid, but I'm not the owner. I'm not able to actually say the name of the Business. So to proceed. There is not a link, I have to generate emails to whoever is interested. Now. Back to why, I am involved. Sheila left me a bottle of laundry soap, to try. It was around Christmas time, Whitney, a little over 1 at the time, had a CUTE little red velvet and WHITE, DRESS on. She had a sippy cup, that had grape juice in it. She took the lid off, I thought that the little EXPENSIVE dress was ruined. I used the VERY SMALL AMOUNT of laundry soap with a load of her clothes. It came out BEAUTIFUL! That was the first thing that sold me on the products. I had people that signed up under me, but life happened. The product is expensive, but well worth it. It's not deluded down. and NO chemicals. Yes, I made money from it. Fast forward, I was listening to a Patriot sight, and they had an ad. As I listened, I said great! I found it AGAIN. I've been trying to find someone for several years that was involved!! I called her and she told me she had to send me an email, As I was going down the list of questions. Being the "Patient" person that I am. I called and said, "I know what this is, I've been looking for it again! Just sign me up!" There is also another item that I used on my Children when they were younger, and again a little over 10 years ago, when I was involved. My son (Jamie) uses it now. And other products, but one in particular, for pain. So, if you are interested, send me your email addy in a DM.

Christian, what is the purpose of your life? To what end do you live it? We all should be able to exclaim with Paul, “for me to live is Christ” (Phil. 1:21). Likewise, we should know with certainty that “to die is gain” (Phil. 1:21). We are but sojourners here, subjects of the King, awaiting our entry into His Kingdom, just as were those great men of faith who lived long ago (Heb. 11). Let us then put aside any love for this world and the things in it; for such is not from the Father but from the world (1 Jn. 2:15-16). Shall we not instead allow Christ to live through us, living by faith (Gal. 2:20), as slaves of righteousness (Rom. 6:16-20)? We were bought with a price (1 Cor. 6:20), purchased by God’s own blood (Acts 20:28). How then can we not give ourselves over to Him who purchased us? No, let us not be conformed to this world, but transformed by the renewing of our minds, presenting ourselves, our bodies, as holy sacrifices to God (Rom. 12:1-2). And let us for Christ’s sake consider as loss those things which the world treasures, and set our sights on the knowledge of Christ, the value of which surpasses anything this world may offer (Phil. 3:7-8). —————— Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions Morning, January 7 "For me to live is Christ." Philippians 1:21 The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt. From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins to live to Christ. Jesus is to believers the one pearl of great price, for whom we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our love, that it beats alone for Him; to His glory we would live, and in defence of His gospel we would die; He is the pattern of our life, and the model after which we would sculpture our character. Paul's words mean more than most men think; they imply that the aim and end of his life was Christ- nay, his life itself was Jesus. In the words of an ancient saint, he did eat, and drink, and sleep eternal life. Jesus was his very breath, the soul of his soul, the heart of his heart, the life of his life. Can you say, as a professing Christian, that you live up to this idea? Can you honestly say that for you to live is Christ? Your business- are you doing it for Christ? Is it not done for self- aggrandizement and for family advantage? Do you ask, "Is that a mean reason?" For the Christian it is. He professes to live for Christ; how can he live for another object without committing a spiritual adultery? Many there are who carry out this principle in some measure; but who is there that dare say that he hath lived wholly for Christ as the apostle did? Yet, this alone is the true life of a Christian- its source, its sustenance, its fashion, its end, all gathered up in one word- Christ Jesus. Lord, accept me; I here present myself, praying to live only in Thee and to Thee. Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed; and let my motto be, "Ready for either."

The problems Communists create. Punishing property owners for vacancies cause by the communist city government... On the "bright side" the city can take the buildings when the owners can't pay the fines? Then the communist government can run them into the ground themselves - how will they avoid responsibility then? Seattle has the 2nd worst office vacancy rate in the United States. Is new Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson's solution to attract business back to downtown: A) Lower taxes for businesses B) Clean up the drugs and despair off the streets C) Tax owners of vacant office buildings If you answered C, you are unfortunately correct. https://x.com/future42org/status/2008221965992292412

And there he goes - defrauding the public... If people out there could not contemplate that people were trying to defraud the public through PUBLIC OFFICE ... We deal with it every day within the government - it should NOT be "the cost of doing business"! The only cost that should happen in the case of fraud should be a length of hemp rope! https://thepostmillennial.com/mike-dewine-says-potential-daycare-fraud-in-ohio-is-cost-of-doing-business

#1 We need to keep the "foreign influence" out of our elections! #2 We have a liberal, progressive, socialist environment in Washington that needs to die a natural death!

How does it cost 1 million dollars to fix a single step of a state Capitol building? Homeowners and businesses are able to repair steps of their own front porches and entry ways for far less. https://www.wnd.com/2025/04/we-cannot-comment-state-spending-almost-1-million-per-step-to-fix-capitol-entrance/?utm_campaign=Cannot_comment%3A_State_spending&utm_source=izooto&utm_medium=push_notifications
