 Did you know in 1791 when the Founders ratified the Second Amendment, a well regulated militia was restricted to 1 musket, 2 spare flints and 24 bullets? They had to register and at any time the government could enter their home, take away their weapon, and remove them from the rolls.What has changed that we ignore regulating arms? |

 Creating a homeless sanctuary in Big Pine Key would provide a safe and supportive environment for those in need. It would offer essential services like shelter, food, and healthcare while reducing homelessness on the streets. A well-run sanctuary can also foster community, get addicts sober, helping individuals regain stability, find employment, and eventually transition back into independent living. This initiative would improve public safety and health, create job opportunities, and contribute to a stronger, more compassionate community in the Florida Keys. But where could it be and who would pay for it. |
| [Friday Joke] A man goes to a pet shop and buys a talking parrot. He takes the parrot home and tries to teach the parrot how to say a few things, but instead, the parrot just swears at him. After a few hours of this, the man finally gets fed up and throws the parrot into the freezer to teach it a lesson. He hears the parrot squawking and kicking for a few minutes, but then all goes quiet. The man opens the freezer, the parrot calmly steps out onto the man’s outstretched arm and says, “I believe I may have offended you with my rude language and actions. I’ll endeavor to correct my behavior.” The man is astounded. As he’s about to ask the parrot what’s caused this sudden change in attitude, the parrot continues, “May I ask what the turkey did?” |
 [Yankee Go Home!] Unless your ancestors were living, breathing, working, loving and dying on this land prior to 1492, you are a descendant of immigrants or by people who were stolen from their lands and forced to come to this country. You have no right to tell others to stay out. |
| [Regulations Are Necessary] England’s Grenfell tower fire killed 72 people, and an inquiry revealed many reasons including “systematic dishonesty” and lobbyist causing the removal of many safeguards and regulations. One politician in the US wants to get rid of regulations that affect his businesses. I say no! Regulations are there to protect us. No matter how rarely they are used. Grenfell Tower is just one example of why we need regulations. 72 people are dead in order to save money. Link |

| [Dry Your Own Herbs] How to dry herbs at home and why you should. Hang your herbs upside down or pop them in the microwave. Consider that dollar jar of Italian blend. Although it costs only 50 cents per ounce, this price is significantly higher than if you dried the herbs yourself, especially since you can make much more than 2 ounces with just a handful of fresh herbs. Drying herbs at home will provide you with more potent ingredients for cooking and save you money. Link |

| [Mass Murder] What should we think of a father who buys his 14-year-old child an automatic weapon of war the day after that child made online threats to kill fellow students? Rember the AR-15 has no other purpose but killing people. Was the father surprised when his kid did just that? Video |
 [New iPhone 16] What to Expect. The iPhone 16 series is anticipated to bring a host of new features and enhancements. Here’s a sneak peek into what we can expect. Link |
| [Mass Murder Is Back] Wasn’t it just last week that a poster was complaining there were no mass murders? and wondering if there was a mass murder “season”? Be careful what you wish for… |
 I’ve been accused of being flippant when asked the purpose of life. I always say, “To have a good time.” Well, I just saw where the bible agreed with me: “Men are, that they might have joy.” |
| [Drug Ring] A massive federal drug-trafficking sweep targeting more than two dozen suspects resulted in multiple arrests in South Florida this week. FBI agents conducted raids on Thursday in connection with a widespread cocaine-distribution network involving at least 27 suspects over a four-year period. |
 My new resolution is to try to smile more and not answer or comment on everything anyone says to me. I’d really like to keep my big mouth shut. |
| [War] Would American woman have a different about war if they had to go and fight? Old white men make all the wars because they no longer have to serve. How about American woman? They never have to fight. They are never drafted and forced to fight. I think that is wrong. If they were drafted they might look at war differently and then try to influence the old white men differently. |

| The latest iphone has tons of features only young people will use. My Samsung S21 Ultra has tons of features I’ll never use and have no use for, unless I bury my nose in its screen for the rest of my life like young folks do. The only new features I’d like to see is a button that will freeze the screen so when I show someone a picture, it’s doesn’t vanish when I hand the phone to someone to see who accidently touched the wrong thing. |

| [Friday Joke] A man walks into a bar with a dog. The bartender says, “You can’t bring that dog in here.” The man replies, “But this is no ordinary dog, this dog can talk.” “Listen, pal,” the bartender says, “if that dog can talk, I’ll give you a hundred bucks.” The owner looks at the dog and says, “Fido, what’s the thing on top of this building which keeps the rain from getting inside?” The dog answers “Roof.” “Listen, pal…” the bartender starts to say, but the owner interrupts, “Wait, wait… he’s not finished. Fido, who was the greatest ballplayer? “Roof.” The bartender roars, “Get out of here!” As they’re walking out the door, the dog turns to his owner and asks, “DiMaggio?” |
