Oh yeah. That's the good stuff. Stacks of cash in a cash business. Uh huh. Starship Troopers. The writers just nailed it.
In those early years, the family was living the good life thanks largely to the success of the Library Club. 'The bouncers would drop huge bags of money off, stacks and stacks,' Natalie said. 'He did incredibly well.' Bovino became a voracious reader in high school, devouring books by everyone from historian Robert Service to the frontier stories of Louis L'Amour, the sister said. He grew obsessed with one title in particular, Starship Troopers, a military Sci-Fi novel by Robert Heinlein from 1959 imagining an interstellar war between humanity and alien bugs. 'Now he reads Starship Troopers once a year,' his sister told the Daily Mail.

Drinking Liberally hosts reached out to a few different organizations that focus on mutual aid and providing assistance at a more personal and individual level. Abigail Silver from Sanctuary Supply Depot agreed to come and give an overview of mutual aid. Abigail provided both a history of how mutual aid developed and how it works at Sanctuary Supply Depot. Instead of being focused on structural solutions and being beholden to metrics as many traditional non-profits are, mutual aid is focused on providing individuals what they need now with a focus on getting that person through the day. Need food? Here is some food. Need a tent? Here’s a tent. Need tools? Here are some tools that you can borrow. This has advantages and disadvantages, but it centers the individual person in need more than the process of reaching the most people. This becomes more important when the federal government is tearing down aid programs and slashing funds for those who need financial assistance. Sanctuary Supply Depot was created out the anarchist movement and tends to make decisions through consensus and often follows the interest of those involved so there are a lot of ways to get involved and address specific issues of concern to you. In the coming weeks we expect ICE/CBP/DHS to increase personnel in the region with new hires being assigned to different cities. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem warned of an increasing presence in the coming weeks and so we can expect our immigrant neighbors to face increased danger from government abductions. Mutual aid can also be used to keep out immigrant neighbors safe from being detained. Carry a whistle with you to alert the community to ICE. Touch base with Sanctuary Supply Depot https://linktr.ee/sanctuarysupplydepot Upstander training for being legal observers when ICE/CBP/DHS make abductions & Hotline for ICE/CBP/DHS sightings.

The ICE agent attacked her after she asked if he was being a good Christian which is similar to what seemed to trigger the officer who murdered Sandra Massey.
Earlier in the day, an ICE agent threw a woman to the ground in a shocking moment captured by bystanders amid the otherwise peaceful protest. The victim, 57-year-old Franci Stagi, told HuffPost the agent snapped when she asked him “what would Jesus do” and if he was “a good Christian.” Video shows he responded by snatching her phone from her hands and then violently assaulting her when she attempted to retrieve it, grabbing her by the hair and putting her in a chokehold before ultimately throwing her down an embankment on the opposite side of the street.

Lack of domestic help is a big thing at least one of these morons.
In an interview shared later on YouTube, Kleinhaus, who did not respond to requests for comment, said that a lack of domestic help was the biggest challenge for him. “There’s no kitchen lady you call to sweep the house, or clean the house, or stuff like that,” he said in the interview. “You do the work yourself.”

More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes.

Bovino was hurt on October 3rd and it was represented to the court that he was on 2 weeks bedrest due to a groin injury and yet was at CNN on October 7th. They are lying to keep Bovino out of court

Some of the charges seem within reason without going into whether they are true or not but this one screams bullshit.

Im not sure what carrying at this sort of protest accomplishes as you aren’t winning a gun fight with heavily armed ICE agents.

Florida Man has complaints
Friendly reminder that Dan Proft lives in Florida. His little show airs in Chicago. And for the record, ICE is taking people from across Chicagoland—including Evanston—to this facility, which is why we need everyone to speak out about it.

From the Minnesota Reformer Glenn Gruenhagen never disappoints submitting a bullshit paper he authored with a COVID Truther who then died of COVID. The paper by GG and the dead guy claims a connection with SSRIs and mass shooting

minnesotareformer.com/2025/09/15/s...
Sen. Glenn Gruenhagen, R-Glencoe, submitted to the working group an article he co-authored in 2019 with a natural medicine doctor who spread false information about COVID-19 before dying of the virus in 2021. The article attributes the rise in mass shootings to the use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, a common type of antidepressant. That claim has been repeated by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, but psychiatrists and other experts have debunked a causal link between SSRIs and violence.

During her tenure as U.S. attorney, Hanaway prosecuted former state Rep. John Bowman, a north St. Louis County Democrat, for bribery in a credit card scheme. Bowman, who was convicted on misdemeanor charges, now is running for a state Senate seat.
