In reality that only means I get an open casket wake. That said, I refuse to be an organ donor. A test of private property is whether you can sell it. Well, I or my estate are NOT ALLOWED by law to sell my organs upon my demise. Therefore, what should be considered my ultimate piece of private property, is not mine to sell and should be considered property of the gubmint. However, EVERY SINGLE PERSON involved in an organ donation from death to transplantation gets paid. Anyone care to justify that? And now that piece of excrement residing in the CGA Looney is looking to just confiscate my organs?<br /><br />Keep pushing tyrants, and you'll just get that insurrection you so much desire.Glypto Dropemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03567172318032611333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-71496400175118986562023-01-07T20:16:59.638-05:002023-01-07T20:16:59.638-05:00Thanks for sharing needful content and keep more.....Thanks for sharing needful content and keep more.. <br /><a href="https://srislawyer.com/abogado-dui-suffolk-va-abogado-dui-suffolk-virginia/" rel="nofollow">Abogado DUI Suffolk Virginia</a><br /><a href="https://srislawyer.com/traffic-lawyer-lunenburg-va-traffic-lawyer-lunenburg-virginia/" rel="nofollow">Traffic Lawyer Lunenburg VA</a><br /><a href="https://srislawyer.com/traffic-lawyer-lunenburg-va-traffic-lawyer-lunenburg-virginia/" rel="nofollow">Traffic Lawyer Lunenburg Virginia</a><br /><br />almanzolucas8https://www.blogger.com/profile/14086775988244531598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9069955.post-7729884219131587332022-12-23T15:09:57.009-05:002022-12-23T15:09:57.009-05:00As usual, a great column.

Nothing meaningful except appear in the media with the standard blue Oxford shirt.<br />Address Energy prices for home and businesses, promote policies that increase wages (ending or curtailing H1B Visas, bring manufacturing back to the US - tariffs and trade, record inflation on food, housing, autos as local property taxes will surely rise - anything)<br />Blumenthal is not a serious person, nor a legitimate fighter for anything except his re-election. Sure it is a political play to hump this issue of the overturning of Roe v Wade for all he can in hopes of turning out his base. If that is your point in this piece, ok, but it is a distraction. You should point that out. A distraction from all the economic pain, which like the unconstitutional lockdowns will bear bad fruit, similarly delayed over the next 2 to 3 years. <br />Of course the piece includes the obligatory shot at President Trump, I guess to help prove your bonafides. Unnecessary, be a battler much like 45. Really take these long serving politicians to task. If not now? When? Lose your comfort, go out and talk to people in the cities, in the suburbs - how are they making it? Debt?, Depleting Savings? Destroying credit history? <br />Don’t be an enabler of long serving, professional politicians. it is a time for serious fighters. Next time you appear on Will Marrotti’s show, please keep this in mind. Mean tweets?

This statement raises the question of the effectiveness of the jets Ukraine already has. If you tell me that they have 36 aircraft now but started with 72 and have been valiantly patrolling the air space but have lost aircraft to Russian aircraft or ground batteries, then they may be able to use 28 replacements. If you say they started with 36 aircraft and still have 36 aircraft because they are not flying and not attacking/defending then 28 more aircraft will do no good, regardless of the reasons why they are not losing aircraft now. I can't find which story might be true, and I know I will never hear the real story from Da Nang Dick.
