Facebook comment that reads: People care more about this than they do about the fact that the bills mandated you inject yourself and your children with an experimental, genetic therapy that has a patent on file as a biological weapon in order to attend their scripted games. Go bills!

Feds say 'national security' at risk if classified info about Tops massacre is released (gift article) buffalonews.com/news/local/c...
Dusk settles over the 5/14 memorial outside of Tops on Jefferson Avenue. Federal officials say classified information about the racist mass shooting that killed 10 Black people on May 14, 2022, should not be turned over to the shooter's defense team because of "national security" issues.

Somebody from my fan club called my work line five times around 4:30 a.m. He left two 90-second voicemails that contain phrases like “you guys are losers,” “fake news” and “eventually with the next year or two, everyone of you guys are going to be charged for treason.” 🧵
