Nope, I was 18 and at College, my parents had moved to Brighton some years earlier, my cousins were there that night though. Idiots!

Records contradict Majewski’s account of military punishment

Majewski’s campaign said last week that he was punished and demoted after getting in a “brawl” in an Air Force dormitory in 2001. -snip

[However] They indicate Majewski’s punishment and demotion were the result of him being stopped for driving drunk on a U.S. air base in Japan in September 2001. -snip

Ohio GOP House candidate has misrepresented military service

Campaigning for a northwestern Ohio congressional seat, Republican J.R. Majewski presents himself as an Air Force combat veteran who deployed to Afghanistan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, once describing “tough” conditions including a lack of running water that forced him to go more than 40 days without a shower. -snip

[However]They indicate Majewski never deployed to Afghanistan but instead completed a six-month stint helping to load planes at an air base in Qatar, a longtime U.S. ally that is a safe distance from the fighting. -snip

Weird, cos I was told over and over that Republicans care more than anyone about 'Stolen Valor" and lying about military service.

they were also BIG mad about terrorism until they started supporting and engaging in terrorism

Republicans Pull Ads for Trump-Backed House Candidate Who Lied About His Military Record

😂

J.R. Majewski is now claiming that his military record is "classified", as being the reason why even the Air Force can't corroborate his claims.

It's no wonder why Donnie "Bones Spurs" Trump backed this loser.

TBF, they're still big mad about terrorism as long as it's not their brand of domestic terrorism.

Now I don't know what to believe!

The thing that makes me most mad is... hard to describe, so I'll go with an example.

Have you heard of the "Uber files"? A number of leaked memo's revealed Uber actually encouraged their employees to stage protests. The founders very clearly wanted to create social unrest, and outright said they would propose the solution to the social unrest they created.

Now apply this to EVERYTHING ELSE. Every protest, every piece of legislation to benefit specific pressure groups, every piece of social drama. You're always left wondering what's grassroots, and what's astroturfed. Always wondering who's opinion matters.

It gets so you aren't even certain if the general public drives anything at all, or if it's all about opportunism and smoke and mirrors.

MAGATard Guilty of Arson He Blamed on "Antifa and BLM"

A Brooklyn Center man faces federal charges after he lit his own camper on fire to make it look like a politically-motivated crime, and then filed several fraudulent insurance claims.

The U.S. Attorney's Office says Denis Vladmirovich Molla, 29, is charged with two counts of wire fraud in connection with the fire that took place on September 23, 2020.

Molla reported to police that someone set fire to his camper "because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it," and spray painted the anarchy symbol, "BLM," and "Biden 2020" on his garage door. The U.S. Attorney's Office says Molla actually lit the fire and defaced the garage himself.

Molla then filed an insurance claim for $300,000; receiving $61,000. He also took in $17,000 via GoFundMe.

A Brooklyn Center man has pleaded guilty to wire fraud after filing fraudulent insurance claims for a staged arson, announced U.S. Attorney Andrew M. Luger.

According to court documents, on September 23rd 2020, Denis Vladmirovich Molla, 30, falsely reported to law enforcement that someone had lit his camper on fire and that three unknown males were near his home when he heard an explosion.

Molla also reported that his garage door was vandalized with spray painted graffiti stating, "Biden 2020," "BLM," and an anarchy symbol (which he referred to as an Antifa symbol), and that his camper was targeted because it had a Trump 2020 flag displayed on it.

In reality, Molla started his own property on fire and spray painted the graffiti on his own garage. According to court documents, Molla submitted multiple insurance claims seeking coverage for the damage to his garage, camper, vehicles, and residence caused by the fire.

When Molla's insurance company denied some of those claims, Molla submitted a written complaint to the insurance company, claiming that it was defrauding him, and threatened to report the company to the Department of Commerce and to the Attorney General.

Molla also created and allowed others to create two GoFundMe accounts to benefit Molla and his family. In total, Molla submitted more than $300,000 in fraudulent insurance claims, and he received approximately $61,000 from his insurance company.

Molla also received more than $17,000 from individual donors via GoFundMe. Molla pleaded guilty today in U.S. District Court before Senior Judge David S. Doty to one count of wire fraud. A sentencing hearing will be scheduled at a later time.

Creating bogeymen, turning himself in the victim and then defrauding people. Sounds like this Trumper was role-playing as Trump.

Agreed if true, throw the book at him.

As is, they're allegations and it isn't even being reported why they think this. (Guilty plea means nothing, how many innocent people plead guilty for a lesser sentence)

Well, he admitted to writing the graffiti, making the false accusations, starting the fire and filing the fraudulent insurance claims.

But sure, lets go with this is a conspiracy against this one lone poor Trumper.

Study: Right Wing Policies Cost U.S. Lives

The study U.S. State Policy Contexts and Mortality of Working-Age Adults found liberal policies were linked to lower mortality among working-age adults, while conservative policies were linked to more deaths.

This study examined whether U.S. state policy contexts account for the rise in working-age mortality rates in the United States.

Simulations indicated that changing all policy domains in all states to a fully liberal orientation would have saved 171,030 lives in 2019, while changing them to a fully conservative orientation would have cost 217,635 lives.
