Here's how you tell Marjorie Traitor Greene to shut her fucking mouth.

In a recent speech, Greene declared that Democrats are not the opposition, but that they are "the enemy" of the American people, and don't love this country.

But her colleague, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), who served as a Marine in Iraq, was quick to school her on the reality of what an enemy is. He recalled the Jan. 6 insurrection and what he faced from real "enemies" attacking the U.S. government.

"I was trying to figure what type of pen to stab your friends with if they overran us on the floor of the House of Representatives while trying to conduct a democratic transition of power. So please shut your seditious, Qanon loving mouth when it comes to who loves America," Gallego tweeted.

makes his harsh hard-hitting tweet to MTG all the more meaningful.

Since part of his expertise is operations, I think Speaker Pelosi would do well to have him connect with the Capitol police, having a few televised hearings that can sharpen public awareness.

Our fight to fend of the fomenting has to be public, at the congressional level and of course, the CiC's side of keeping tabs on militarized radicalization of a population.

Mon May 3, 2021, 05:53 PM
May 2021

If they are walking alone at night, of even if they're not alone, be ready. If it's all the preparedness you've got, put it right between your thumb and the edge of the forefinger and squeeze, a very strong grip. Assailants will protect eyes, throat and other vulnerable parts, but reaching for their side doesn't look that threatening so people don't take it as seriously, unless they are well-trained.

But let me tell you...dragging the tip of that key along a rib will get their attention in a BIG way. It can hardly fail to give you a couple of seconds, or more, to disengage and run for it. I had it happen to me in mock hand-to-hand, and I didn't know he was going to follow through after I blocked the first one and turned him. Lesson LEARNED. Hurt like you can't believe.

If you really want to prepare for that, practice a shadow strike - mime the movements of a feint to the face, then jab for real at the ribs. Don't hold back.

If you're wondering about bear/pepper spray, it works great, but the breeze going the wrong way could easily disable you. I squirted the TINIEST little bit possible away from me, and into the sink. Didn't matter, my eyes were streaming, my nose was running and I could hardly breathe. I had to leave the house.

Guns, we all know about.

like that when I'm alone after dark or even in daytime in places that are isolated and vulnerable. But I always expected to aim for eyes or other parts of the face. Did not occur to me to aim for the ribs. That would work in summer around here, but in winter, with heavy coats, not so much.

My wife is from Chautauqua County, so I'm quite aware of the winters there. There is no self-defence strategy that is 100% successful, 100% of the time. The closest thing, I think, is being able to afford a small group of former Navy Seals to accompany you everywhere.

Be careful out there! As Michael Conrad used to say on Hill Street Blues.
