AMA - I recently served as a juror on a murder trial
The crime happened within the last five years, and the trial happened within the last six months. I'm happy to discuss anything about my experience except: The exact time and location of the crime The names of the people involved Those restrictions are to protect the family... - ballz2dwallz...

As far as Alex Pretti is concerned, he was not some innocent that ICE agents decided to shoot because they had a few minutes…he was a deeply disturbed man and it was clear to anyone who watched the BBC video from a week or so before he was shot.... - ptsharker...

The Greatest Country on Earth Finishes Last in Its Class
What we lead in. What we trail in. What it would take to close the gap. For context, "we" is the United States of America, and we are all missing part of the story.... 🎧 They'll tell you the make and model of the firearm within minutes, but the shooter's rap sheet? That takes days to surface — if it ever does. What's the point of laws if we refuse to enforce them?... - onI am someone who believes that understanding the truth is worth the effort, even when it is uncomfortable. I have never been satisfied with accepting things simply because they are popular or because someone in authority says they are true. I ask questions, I look for evidence, and I try to understand what is really happening beneath the surface. I would rather spend time researching an issue than repeat someone else's opinion.by
The Far Left Is Poisoning the Democratic Party with Ideas That Destroy Safety and Order
The Breaking Point Has Arrived The debate is no longer about party labels. It is about trust, responsibility, and the future of the nation. The Democratic Party has long claimed to stand for progress.... Remembering Iryna Zarutska
Iryna Zarutska, Murdered on a Charlotte Train by a Repeat Offender The mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests! I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral!... - tsexton...
Small changes can rewrite a story. 📖✍️ I am incredibly proud to share that we are bringing Uptrust into our community outreach efforts. In writing, we learn that every detail matters; in life, a single missed date or a lack of support can completely derail someone’s hard work... - ˈkwɒntəm...
The income tax was implemented during world war I was supposed to end after world war I ended. I'll let that sink in The way we got along before that was tariffs. tariffs built a lot of the things that are still standing today and didn't cost Americans nothing out of pocket.... I have a degree in Criminal Justice Administration and am a published writer of 30 years. I hate how disingenuous individuals and the Internet have become.... - Paulleverich...
That story hits like a brick because it exposes a question most legal systems try very hard not to answer: What is the actual punishment for a crime?... - dawnagain...
Reality seems less real to me these days. How have we as a society allowed so few to have so much and so many to have nothing? I am 61. I am truly failing in every aspect. My health. My relationships. My finances. My sanity. Every moment is a struggle. I am suffering. Greatly.... I suppose in nearly every instance of life there is the potential for the formation of addiction. Whether it be drugs, video games, alcohol, porn, sugar, gambling, tobacco etc..... - 10e...
When I started the research, I knew modern public psychiatry benefits from forced court order treatment and I positioned that as a form of modern slavery.... Rightness is the stance of all who do harm in the world. They do the harm because it is right to do the harm, because not doing the harm would be wrong. They control to make things go right. They blame to correct for how things went wrong.... yeah I wonder if the spirit of not releasing bad suspicion X, which I do think is healthy so we don't start witch-hunts, has overreached. That said, as I type this, I can see an argument for anyone who ever associated with Epstein's being assumed to be guilty until proven...
