A bunch of particle glinted briefly in the sun then flew away

Didnt feel a thing

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/self-defense/safety-tip-dont-bet-your-life-on-bear-spray/comment-page-1/#comment-175505&quot;&gt;.40 cal Booger&lt;/a&gt;.

Fulton County, GA, has basically admitted that it certified an uncertifiable election. There’s no doubt that happened in other states as well. The election results would have been impossible to audit the day after the election, and here we are years later. Dems used mail-in ballots and inaccurate voter rolls to elect a senile puppet to the White House (not addressing the legal manipulation/rigging that occurred). Then they invited over 10 million illegals from third world countries to come here and have loads of citizen children to support the future of the Democratic Party, which has given up on existing American citizens.

Most normie-type Dems are completely oblivious to this and all of the other Dem scandals of the past decade. They&#039;ve been conditioned to ignore any evidence that would challenge their worldview of Dems are the good guys and Reps are the bad guys.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Ya knew the &#039;violence interruption&#039; NGO&#039;s were scams: Minnesota &#039;violence interruption&#039; non-profit We Push for Peace sued for &#039;rampant abuse&#039; of donations.

&quot;We Push for Peace, a non-profit founded by Trahern Pollard following the death of George Floyd, was created to provide “conflict de-escalation” services and received millions of dollars through government contracts. 
...
Another Minnesota nonprofit is facing a lawsuit over allegations of widespread financial abuse, including the misuse of more than $6 million in taxpayer funds for personal expenses such as trips to Las Vegas and child support payments.
...
Pollard used organization money to pay child support obligations, settle IRS tax bills, and subsidize private businesses, including a liquor store and a used car dealership. Pollard ... also ... sent false statements under penalty of perjury. He claimed the child support payment was &#039;nonprofit overhead, and a $35,000 payout to his friends was described as &#039;Chicago payroll.&#039;

The lawsuit also names former director Jaclyn McGuigan, who served as the charity’s treasurer. McGuigan is accused of transferring $1,000 per week from the nonprofit’s funds into her personal account and improperly using government grant funds for so-called &#039;administrative&#039; expenses.
