"This was filmed last Thursday at Riverside Veterinary Clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The officer is Sergeant Alan Briggs. He's 44 years old. Twelve-year veteran of the Colorado Springs Police Department. The dog is Bruno, a nine-year-old German Shepherd. They were partners for eight years. Bruno joined the force at fourteen months old. Trained in narcotics detection and patrol support. He and Alan were paired in the spring of Alan's sixth year on the force. From that first week, Alan said Bruno worked like he'd been waiting his whole life to do exactly that job. Eight years. Hundreds of calls. Bruno never missed a shift. Earlier this year, Bruno began slowing down significantly. A serious illness had progressed through his system over several months despite treatment. By October, Bruno had stopped eating consistently. Stopped lifting his head fully when Alan came into the room. The veterinary team sat with Alan two weeks ago and walked him through what was coming. Alan requested that Bruno's final day be spent at home first. They drove to their favorite trail in the morning. Bruno walked as far as he could. Alan carried him the rest of the way. At the clinic that afternoon, Alan sat down on the floor rather than placing Bruno on the examination table. He said he didn't want Bruno's last position to be somewhere unfamiliar and cold. He held Bruno in his arms on the floor, back against the wall. The vet, Dr. Melissa Horan, prepared the procedure. She told us she's been practicing for nineteen years. She has learned to give families as long as they need. Alan leaned down and pressed his face against Bruno's head. He spoke to him quietly. Told him he had been the best partner anyone could ask for. Told him he didn't have to hold on anymore. Bruno lifted both front paws. Slowly. The way a person reaches up when they want to be held. He wrapped them around Alan's shoulders and pulled himself closer. Alan held on. Dr. Horan told us she set down what she was holding and waited. She said: "I've been in this room for a lot of final moments. What Bruno did in that moment was one of the most deliberate things I've ever seen an animal do.

Only pure evil can see a sweet little girl in a wheelchair and shoot her in the face.
Burn forever in hell.
I’m not at all religious, but Charlie Kirk was a rare genius leading a mission to save the United States - the world - from evil. RIP.

Jeff Bezos - Bret Baier on Fox News’ Special Report:
House and housing affordability crisis.
“In Bezos’s view, housing is a basic supply and demand problem. He argued that government programs have made it worse by subsidizing demand while limiting how much new housing gets built.”
I would add the fact that property tax increases are out of hand doesn’t help.
Also the cost of lumber
Also increased code (insulation, A/C, heat pumps, double pane low-e windows, copper (no more aluminum wiring), GFCI, integrated whole house smoke an CO detectors and on and on.
Also increased permitting and inspection expenses
Also the fact that people expect much larger living spaces than 50 years ago. “McMansions”

A year in juvi for carjacking a car and killing the driver doesn’t reform you.
It emboldens you.
When you get your hands cut off, you don’t steal again.
When you get put in stocks/pillory to be publicly mocked for your crime, you might choose a different path.
Kids trashing a Dollar store and walking out… what next? Escalation.
IF they go to jail, they are back out on the streets in an hour.
Pleading to reduced charges.

Reducing charges. Revolving doors of repeat offenders.

What do you think “Autumn Wreath” smells like?
I’m thinking, musty, dusty, moldy crap that’s accumulated every time it’s been stored… with maybe a hint of cinnamon to hide the other stuff.
This is a WARNING. A warning to an Americans.
The enemy of conquerors have managed to infiltrate all facets of our lives. We must ACT to preserve “The American Way”
VOTE. Vote like your children’s lives depend on it.
This pig demon Rashida Tlaib is an American congresswoman. She sits in our government and we pay her.
She stood on that stage in a keffiyeh under a banner that says Gaza is the compass. No American flag. No Constitution. Then she told the room this country was built on slavery, genocide, rape, and oppression, called Washington a decaying empire, and said real change doesn’t come from Congress. It comes from the streets, seizing the power to resist and fight back. And the brag. “Now we’re in Congress, and we’re in every corner of the United States. We are just getting started.”
We? She swore an oath to this country and used that oath to plant a foreign cause inside it.
A congresswoman who tells America it is the enemy, while cashing America’s check, is a traitor. REMOVE HER.
@RepRashida
“It goes not happen. Well at least not very often.”
WTF.
A Jamaican national who is not a U.S. citizen voted for president in 2020, the Justice Department charged her under the federal law that has made that a crime since 1996, and a Biden judge in Florida just threw it out and declared Congress has no power to say who can and can’t vote in our elections!?
Judge David Leibowitz looked at Chelsea Cox, who cast a ballot she had no right to cast, and decided the problem was not her. The problem was the statute. Every state already requires citizenship, Florida can still charge her, and this ruling should die on appeal, but that doesn’t make it any less infuriating.
They spend years swearing noncitizen voting is already illegal so we do not need the SAVE Act, then an activist judge guts the very law that makes it illegal and lets her walk on the federal charge.
Citizenship is not a suggestion.
It’s the price of a say in this country, and a single judge does not get to hand that away.

Regarding President Trump’s one time $500 ACA refund…
In California, my wife and I - no dependents - paid $5,400 PER MONTH for 80/20 insurance. No dental, no vision, no hearing aids… $65K PER YEAR. And then the 20% on top of that.
So forgive me when I don’t feel sorry about the people who whine that, “my policy for my family of five is going up $200/month. From $400/m to $600 per month!”
Im subsidizing them, anf all the illegals.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
