Search Results: is he over it

Over the many years, while our fire/rescue departments and EMS services were crumbling, I was dumbfounded as to why our law enforcement partners were viewed in a much better light than our other first responders.

Just recently in my state, for example, I have been placing huge pressure on our state's politicans to classify assaults against EMS and firefighters as a felony, instead of a misdemeanor. In 2021, my state passed the Back the Blue Act which made assaults against law enforcement an automatic felony, but they left out other first responders. Upon reading the amended law, EMS and firefighters were listed in the preexisting assault legislation before it was amended, but they chose to only focus on law enforcement. This in and of itself is a prime indicator that other first responders are excluded in policymaking initiatives. Finally, as we are only one of ten states that do not have felony assault charges for harming EMS and firefighters, our lawmakers are making steps to enhance these charges.

As the years progressed, our fire and emergency services were crumbling more and more, to the point that now it is a crisis. My former paramedic and EMT coworkers always stated they felt unheard and unappreciated many years back. These were the most cynical, miserable, pessimistic people I had ever worked with. That should have been a tall tell red flag alone.

I have a theory:

I believe the leftists were trying to defund law enforcement due to anarchy. I, however, also believe the conservative right politicians supported our law enforcement specifically because they are the armed security detail for them when the shit hits the fan and to enact their police state agenda. Otherwise, any care for our first responders by our politicians are minimal.

Yep Iran is launching missiles at will and shut straight down. If they continue to attack Israel , and Trump just declares victory and leaves , who really won?

The only way for US to win now is using ground forces to defeat Iran's army and completely take over Iran , install new leader and even the US will have to pay to rebuild Iran The death toll for American troops would be high. IF US uses Nukes and world will not like it , so US gets blackeye.

Israel can claim win if US invades with ground forces. Other than that Israel has only lost from damage, deaths, and Iran will go into overtime to build a nuclear weapon to hit Israel with in a year or so.

I have always had a huge disdain for the left and their causes. From allowing (and even facilitating) an invasion of illegal aliens from broken nations, to weaponizing identity politics, to the warpath against white men, and all the way to DEI and sociopolitical engineering our children. The leftist social propaganda in and of itself was nauseating and getting old. It was divisive and destructive.

I voted for Trump all three past elections cycles, and I honestly have to say I am regretting placing any ounce of hope in Trump. I feel we have been duped beyond belief. Over a year into his presidency, I feel we have spun farther into a dystopian nightmare.

What happened to no wars? That was a lie. What happened to lowering groceries on day one? That was a lie. That rebate check idea that was floated around after the DOGE savings? I don't see it.

In fact, what I do see is the predatory "Own nothing; be 'Happy'" initiatives thriving. Homeownership has become more and more unobtainable, especially among younger generations. Our fire departments are failing. Our public safety infrastructure is crumbling. Our fuel prices have jumped up. The job market has become more volatile and unstable than ever. Looming mass job displacements are around the corner. We are criminalizing our homeless in a time where people with degrees are working multiple jobs to afford rent. Spying on everyday Americans from Flock Cameras to the use of AI and facial recognition is skyrocketing.

When you have had strongly vocal MAGA supporters turn sour on Trump, such as Marjorie Taylor Green, Elon Musk, and Tucker Carlson to name a few, you know it is bad. I don't trust Elon Musk either, but bottom line, once die-hard Trump supporters are turning their backs.

Let's face it, this is ultimately a battle between the elite and the typical, everyday American. Trump has sold us out to the elite ruling class. When there is no side to turn to, you know we are all toast.
