The Cash Fever!

Mega Millions got $1 billion reasons. Also in April prices go up to $5.

In April, Mega Millions will increase the price of tickets to $5 dollars.

It really must be bad for the casino and gaming industry. I am not talking much about it. Ohio has seven racinos and four casinos. I used to work for two of them.

Since being let go, I stopped gambling and also tightened my wallet. I work at a non union company that doesn't pay enough and I feel like it is starting to affect my health. I am experiencing carpal tunnel syndrome and I fear that health insurance will not cover any medical expenses. 

I haven't taken an actual vacation since 2016.

Still, if I decide to pay the lottery and win.... siranora.

Mega Millions for Friday has a jackpot of $1.15 billion.

The Cash Fever, a series of honest takes on how to be a smart jackpot winner. And take my word for it, it comes in handy when you enter a new tax bracket. 

So once again, if you are willing to risk a few dollars, maybe you could become a billionaire.

With these polarizing times, maybe if you do win, you could leave the United States and find a tax haven in a green notice country or territory.

Things to get out the way.....

In about 23 states, you can remain anonymous. But if you are willing to show yourself to the public, here we go.....

Do want to you want to be a millionaire or billionaire?

In my state of Ohio, sports betting is legal. You can legally bet on sporting events for chance of earning a huge payout. The state has issued licenses to the four casinos and seven racinos. 

Sports betting is also available at many bars, clubs and convenience stores that have legal betting stations.

I am wondering, are you willing to pony up at least $2 to play a multi-state lottery game for a chance at winning over $1 billion?

Played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and two U.S. territories, Powerball is a coordinated by the State Lottery Association (MUSL), a nonprofit organization formed by an agreement with lobbyists and U.S. corporations. From its inaugural drawing on April 19, 1992, until August 21, 2021, Powerball drawings were held twice a week (Wednesday and Saturday); a third weekly drawing (held Mondays) was added on August 23, 2021. Drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday evening at 10:59 p.m. Eastern Time, at Florida Lottery headquarters in Tallahassee.

Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday and Friday evenings, including holidays. Mega Millions is administered by a consortium of its 12 original lotteries; the drawings are held at the studios of WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia, supervised by the Georgia Lottery. Played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands with Puerto Rico being added in the near future, Mega Millions is independent from MUSL but does have an agreement with the consortium of states that operated the similar Mega Millions lottery, which allowed MUSL members to sell Mega Millions tickets and consortium members to sell Powerball tickets. 

Many who are often playing are not rich. 

If you win tonight's $760,000,000 lottery jackpot (8th largest in history) here are 7 things to do ASAP:

1) Don't sign the ticket (first set up a trust to stay anonymous & protect your assets)

2) Don't tell anyone. Don't be a victim of robbery or death.

3) Hire 6 experts ASAP:

Most who often play are either a family member, co-worker or friend who has a gambling addiction.

So here's the public service announcement.

Most lotteries and casinos offer help for problem gambling. I want to acknowledge this.

The National Council on Problem Gambling operates the National Problem Gambling Helpline Network (1-800-522-4700). The network is a single national access point to local resources for those seeking help for a gambling problem. 

Call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (Lifeline) at 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or 988, or text the Crisis Text Line (text HELLO to 741741). Both services are free and available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The deaf and hard of hearing can contact the Lifeline via TTY at 1-800-799-4889. All calls are confidential. Contact social media outlets directly if you are concerned about a friend’s social media updates or dial 911 in an emergency. Learn more on the Lifeline’s website or the Crisis Text Line’s website.

You can get help if you, a loved one or friend is dealing with drug abuse.

SAMHSA’s National Helpline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357)

SAMHSA’s National Helpline is a free, confidential, 24/7, 365-day-a-year treatment referral and information service (in English and Spanish) for individuals and families facing mental and/or substance use disorders.

It is a difficult thing to tell a family member, friend, co-worker or a player of a gambling venue. But if see something, say something. It may save a life.

The signs of problem gambling include:

• The person constantly borrowing money from friends, family, loan facilities or banks.
• The person is always taking more out to chase the jackpot (or clout).
• The person loses track of time or misses appointments due to gambling.
• The person is running late on paying bills or dues.
• The person feels like "playing it back" is the only way to win.
• The person is getting agitated over wins and losses.
• The person is using alcohol or drugs to ease stress. 
• The person damages property at casinos or lottery retailers.
• The person deliberately asks others to claim prizes to avoid paying child support, spousal support or owed taxes.
• The person uses false ID, false social security numbers or gives wrong information to avoid taxes or has known status as a banned guest or voluntarily excluded player (self-prevention/restricted gambler).
• The person is restless and feel the only way to relax is to gamble.
• The person is jeopardizing relationships, their jobs and their social life in order to gamble.
• The person repeatedly lies about wins and loses.
• The person is trying to curb problem gambling but never achieves the goal.
• The person has trouble adjusting to increases in lottery prices and rule changes.
• The person usually holds up lines in businesses due to inconsistent demands or repetitive calls of plays and bets.
• The person often uses phone apps to purchase lottery tickets and sports bets without consideration of funds.
• The person is upset when family members, friends or frequent winners win jackpots or prizes.

These are the hard truths about problem gambling. You know someone or have a problem. That's why it's important to know your limits when you gamble. 

Folks, the multi-state Powerball will now have three active drawings. The original jackpot drawings were on Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59pm. Now the drawings will be on Monday nights as well.

It will try to increase the opportunity for players who avoided playing during the pandemic.

Rules on how to play lottery. Note: Many lottery venues are no longer taking verbal requests due to the coronavirus and the possibility of eliminating long wait times due to excessive ticket requests.

• Make sure you have money on hand. The operator is required to take money before issuing a ticket. Make sure you have your numbers placed on either a betting card, your lottery app or a previous ticket. Most operators will help you plug numbers in through the terminal or place an automatic bet for you. However in the case of long lines or possible errors, it would be best to be prepared for the transaction. Some states do offer debit and credit transactions. Make sure you get your information from your local lottery commission. You cannot cancel Powerball or Mega Millions tickets. They are property of your state (or territory's) lottery commission. Any alteration, distortion or underage playing will void the games.
• In most states, the required age to play the lottery is 18 years or older. Do not let anyone under the playing age purchase a ticket or lottery game. The operator could lose their license or you will forfeit your prize if the regional lottery operator determined that an underage player was the winner.
• If you purchase Powerball and Mega Millions from another state (or territory) and you won, understand that it is not a winner in your home state. You must return to the state (or territory) where you purchased the ticket. The Mega Millions is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. If you're a traveler and won the lottery in the state of purchase, you have to return to the state to claim your prize. Every state has their own rules and regulations so don't think "it's all the same." It's not. It's a licensed property of the state gaming commission. 
• Whenever a lottery retailer handles a jackpot ticket, ask the cashier to make sure you hear the "winner" sound. Most machines will make a noise if you're a winner. There are also ticket verifying stations located near a lottery terminal. Make sure before you hand a ticket to a cashier, you are sure you won a jackpot. Ask for a claims form and/or a validation claim voucher. If you are claiming jackpots that are under $500 or less at a licensed lottery operator, check your tickets at a lottery scanner first before handing the ticket off to the clerk. Make sure the cashier confirms the ticket. Tickets over $500 or more may have to go to a local lottery office in a regional jurisdiction. Lottery operators have vendor licenses and tickets are printed by a large set of numbers. If any allegations of fraud or cheating do occur, the lottery can subpoena the operator for the records of purchase and video surveillance of the person who purchased the ticket.
• Mega Millions and Powerball minimum jackpots start at $20 million. Each ticket is valued at $2 per unit until 2025. Some states have multiplier options to their games which could make your ticket $3 or $4 per unit. That will soon end and it will be a direct price of $5 per unit.
• You can view the results of Mega Millions and Powerball on your local television station at 10:59pm. Mega Millions is drawn on Tuesday and Friday. Powerball is drawn on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. You can also get your state's lottery results on websites, the lottery commission apps on the Apple Store and Google Play. You can view results on social media. 
• You can self-validate tickets under $500 through your phone so it can make it "touchless" contact. You can also get winnings under $500 installed in your bank account or through a credit card. Some fees do apply for distribution of cards and bank deposits.
• You have at least 90 days to a year to claim a Mega Millions or Powerball jackpot. Some states have a period of time to claim your prize. If you fail to claim the prize upon its final claim day, it will go back to the state. The lottery operator will collect a reward for selling the winning ticket. Do not wait till the last minute to claim a jackpot prize. The lottery commission does have the right to forfeit or cancel any prizes presented.
• Do not quit your job until you're certain you won the lottery. At the end of the day, some people get bored with their lives and may want to return to the workforce. Don't burn bridges with your employer. You may have to return back to the employer one day.
• Inflation and the coronavirus have changed the world. Many companies have risen prices on food, supplies, rent and utilities. Lottery paper has become very scarce in some retailers. Please understand that it is not a retailer's fault they are out of lottery paper or the machine is down. Please have patience and an understanding of a lottery retailer's resources.
• Do not believe the news reports about a winner coming forward immediately after the announcement of a winning ticket being sold. If the winner was smart, they would wait until the media moves on to the latest controversy. When you see a person appear in public 24 hours after a win, it is a publicity stunt or a grift. Many winners do not appear until they are in the presence of lottery officials, security and lawyers.

You know I've often posted about what I would do if I won the lottery. It is not legal advise so you don't have to take my word for it. I am just expressing what I am going to do if I win the lottery.

I will first write my name on the lottery ticket. If I choose to not write my name on the ticket, I will prepare a trust fund. I will always make sure that if I ever lose that ticket, my name is on it and it cannot be claimed by someone who is the person who wrote on the back of it.

I will also make sure I take a picture of the ticket. It will be a good thing to take a picture if you want to prove to your state's lottery commission that you were the one who purchased the ticket. I mean it would be smart to take pictures of your lottery tickets. Say if you have a group purchase of lottery tickets and you purchase one for yourself or your family member. You won't have to obligate to the group pool's tickets if you show that you bought one for yourself. Because it will be a legal matter if you purchase the group tickets but failed to disclose you purchased one for yourself. Even though you won on your own separate ticket, it's best to let the group know that you purchased a solo ticket to prevent them from believing you've stolen money or violated the group's contract.

If I do win the lottery, I will immediately pay off all my debts. The car loans, child support, spousal support, medical bills, phone bills, mortgage, court fees and bank loans will be paid in full. Before I even collect my lottery winnings, I want to be caught up on everything. Many states will offset lottery winnings due to a person owning state debt, child support, spousal support and court fees. If you know that you owe, pay it off.

I will immediately close my social media and change my phone number. If you're a winner of the lottery, the junk food media, your family, your friends, your acquaintances, your co-workers, your former lovers, your community, charity groups, scammers and the state will know you. I am going to cancel my Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat and social dating apps. I am very clear about my movements and I chose to not be public about it. When I was younger and naive, I would have shown my face to the public. But alas, I've gotten older and I am not the same as I was when I was younger. People are willing to rob and sometimes kill if you reveal yourself as a lottery winner.

I will also get a trust fund prepared, a will and a trusted member of family to hold my winnings. Yeah, it would be nice to establish a trust fund for family members if you do die. I mean life is full of uncertainty. Winning the lottery has higher odds than catching the coronavirus or being struck . On point, 1 out of 15 people are infected with the coronavirus and people have died from it. You win the lottery one day and the next day you caught the coronavirus. You got to remind yourself, you can't take it when you're gone. So it's best to establish a will to distribute your lottery winning to either family, charity and those who you feel deserve it. It will be written and notarized by an attorney or a bank. If you do establish a trust fund you could hire a financial advisor or a family member to oversee your earnings. Make sure that financial advisor is licensed and trusted by the Better Business Bureau. It also must be routine to study on how lottery winners adapt to money. Cause you're going into a bigger tax bracket and taxes vary in many states.

Now that I have my lottery winnings, I will now take the opportunity to buy things that are rational. I would purchase a vehicle, get a home, put some in an investment and prepare for a vacation. Of course, vacations are no longer the norm in the age of COVID-19. So I would be smart to be prepared to be tested or vaccinated for the coronavirus before I take a vacation. Many countries have banned Americans entry to their countries out of fear we're carrying the coronavirus or not vaccinated. With the various strains and Washed Up 45's failure to take control of the matter, world leaders don't trust the American leadership in handling a global pandemic. Expensive vehicles include more insurance rates. More homes require use of electricity or water resources. Overseas vacations are nice but you must check with the State Department if you travel to countries that could pose danger to you as an American. Think rational about your winnings. Because at the end of the day, you can blow millions in a matter of five years.

You might also want to make sure you're not playing lottery on company work time if you work at gas stations, restaurants, casinos, bars and pool halls. You might also want to make sure that you don't scratch the tickets first then pay for them last. I used to work at a gas station and a former co-worker often took lottery tickets, scratch them off and then pay for them after they were scratched.

Taking lottery tickets is not only theft but a felony in some states if the vendor decides to press charges. 

Not only the lottery vendor could lose their license (if they look the other way), they lose the bonus from the sold winning ticket and they could be audited by the lottery commission. The worker will be forbidden from playing lottery if convicted. And yes, family members or friends who try to buy on behalf of a banned player could be criminally charged.

Be humble about winning the lottery. You will not live a normal life. You could hopefully use the lottery winnings for a long time of success or squander it away within five years and end up miserable. Do not worry about the have-nots! Enjoy the winnings with pride and caution. Your success shouldn't be a punishment. If you do take the opportunity to win the lottery make yourself aware of the surroundings. 

This is not a joke.

This my opinion and I stand by what I say!

Tennessee man tried to bury a winning lottery ticket in the trash. Turns out cameras and the Tennessee State Lottery investigators found the man stole a winner's $1 million ticket.

Now onto the greed of things. 

A Tennessee gas station clerk is facing charges after being accused of stealing a $1 million lottery ticket from a customer and trying to collect the prize money.

The 23-year-old, who worked at a Shell gas station in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was identified as Meer Patel. He was arrested and charged with theft over $250,000, a Class A felony, according to a news release from the Rutherford County Sheriff's Office obtained by USA TODAY. He is being housed at Rutherford County Adult Detention Center.

The customer, who was not identified, purchased two $20 scratch-off tickets from the store on Saturday, July 13, WTVF reported.

After scratching off the barcodes, the customer reportedly returned them to Patel to confirm if he had won. The outlet reported that the man won $40 for one ticket and $1 million for the other.

However, "during the transaction, the [customer] gave the tickets to Patel, who paid him for the lesser amount and allegedly placed the $1 million ticket in the trash," the sheriff's office said.

Detectives alleged that Patel went to the Tennessee Lottery to attempt to claim the prize, but the officials were suspicious. When lottery officials reviewed the store's security footage, it showed the clerk taking the ticket out of the trash and putting it in his pocket, according to the sheriff's office.

"Mr. Patel is then seen later in the video celebrating in the store after scratching off the front of the ticket and learning it was a $1 million winner," Detective Dennis Ward said.

During the investigation, law enforcement used the store footage to track down the customer, locating him in less than 24 hours. The customer was "surprised" to learn about the winning ticket.

"The feel-good side of this story is the [customer] never knew he was the winner until we made contact with him,"   Detective Lt. Steve Craig said. "That is life-changing money. He was very thankful."

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Ainsley Earhardt Got A Softball For Christmas!

Ainsley Earhardt is engaged to the most annoying media personality in the world.

I hope she can tolerate that annoying media personality as a husband.

Ainsley Earhardt left her husband for a softball. Actually she and the softball had an affair and they never were punished for it. But alas, Fox is the network of white privilege and utter bullshit.

Sean "Softball" Hannity proposed to Earhardt on Christmas. The softball celebrates his birthday on Dec. 30. So its a two-fer. Also his other love, Donald J. Trump returns to power in four weeks.

The annoying media personality who joined Fox since its beginnings was previously married to Jill Rhodes. Softball Hannity has a known history of adultery and sexual predatory behavior.

He has two children.

Earhardt was previously married to Will Proctor, a former Clemson University football star. Her first marriage was to Kevin McKinney. She has a child with Proctor.

Earhardt joined the network in 2007 and has served as co-host of "FOX & Friends" since 2016. The popular 3-hour morning show has been No. 1 for more than 20 consecutive years. Author of four New York Times bestsellers, including three No. 1 children’s books, Earhardt also hosts Ainsley’s Bible Study on FOX Nation. Earlier this year, she was awarded an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters degree from the University of South Carolina for her professional achievements in broadcast news and as an author.

The softball is 63 years old. Ainsley is 47 years old. 

The softball proposed to Ainsley over Christmas at their home church, solidifying their long-term commitment to each other. The newly engaged couple had the blessing and support from their children, who "couldn’t be happier," according to the couple. 

"We are overjoyed and so thankful to our families for all of their love and support during this wonderful time in our lives," Earhardt and the softball said.

Earhardt and the softball originally bonded over their deep faith, and the two have placed God first in their relationship, thus rendering the proposal at their home church as the "perfect place" to pop the question, according to the couple. They met with their minister after the engagement. 

While the two prefer to keep their private lives out of the spotlight, they have made their long-distance relationship work with weekend trips between New York, where Earhardt is based, and Florida, where Hannity resides. With a mutual respect for each other’s careers, both Hannity and Earhardt have long-term deals to remain at FOX News Media, where Earhardt will continue to co-host "FOX & Friends" from New York while the primetime star will continue to host his eponymous show "Hannity" from West Palm Beach, Florida.

His luxury home is less than two miles from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home.

Both Earhardt and Hannity were previously married and "still get along well" with their ex-spouses and "everyone is supportive of each other," according to the couple. 

"We actually made them aware this was happening ahead of time," they said. 

Earhardt and her former husband have an amicable shared relationship in raising their daughter that "works seamlessly." 

I hope the best for her and the worst for him. 

Can we make a prediction on how long this relationship will last?

Five years.

Softball, softball, softball Hannity....

The country's most annoying media personality in the world.

Israeli Man Spits On Ethiopian Boy And Called Him A N......!

The U.S. backs this type of disgusting behavior.

It is disgusting and disrespectful. If someone spat on a person, it is battery.

Sometimes some folks get a taste of knuckle style chili if they decided to spit on a person.

Somehow in Israel, this is a tradition. This is unacceptable.

The United States wants to continue supporting Israel. I am so fucking tired of it.

White nationalism and Jewish supremacy is why Israel fucking exist. The apartheid ethnostate of Israel must fall and it cannot exist any longer as this entity.

A white Israeli spits on a 7-year old Israeli Black boy. The boy was an immigrant from Ethiopia but has Israeli citizenship because he is Jewish.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ahmed Kaballo (@a.kaballo)

The video was posted on TikTok and Instagram. It went viral. The suspect was soon arrested after outcry but of course, some of the protesters were physically assaulted by the Israeli forces too.

The Israeli government doesn't look at spitting on Christians and Black people as a criminal act. So I guess we're antisemitic if we decide to physically assault an orthodox Jewish person who spat on us. 

But that person who spat on that person can get away with it....

Got it.

Chipotle Customer Attacks Workers Over UberEats Order!

Women goes behind the preparing area and fights workers at a Washington, DC Chipotle.

Y'all voted for this.

There was a viral video of a Black woman attacking a Chipotle worker after trespassing and stealing food. The woman claimed that she got an order wrong from UberEats. She returns to location where it was prepared. The workers told her that she has to take it with the driver and UberEats.

The woman visibly angry goes behind the counter and prepares food.

Workers try to stop her.

She ends up throwing the food and slapping the worker.

Washington, DC.

Video goes viral and folks are calling for the customer to be arrested.

Customer actually defends her actions.

I call it a Luigi Mangione moment. But since it is a Black woman, expect the far right and media to scapegoat the actions as unruly, ghetto and the reasons for a white privilege man like Donald J. Trump to become president again.

The video with over 7 million views that captured a heated altercation at a Northeast, D.C. Chipotle is sparking outrage online. The video shows a visibly upset customer walked behind the counter and began making her own burrito bowl. The incident escalated further when she got physical with an employee. But the woman in the video said employees got physical with her first.

Yeah, we all had messed up orders at grocery stores and fast food restaurants. We had bad customer service from cashiers, servers, managers and customer service. We all been frustrated with the service industry.

But for intentional and unintentional food contamination, it is very rare.

1. Restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores are forbidden from having chemicals near food. The federal and state authorities have strict guidelines to contamination.

2. Insect spray, rat poisons, unauthorized cleaning chemicals and glue traps are not used in restaurants, gas stations, bars and retailers.

3. All businesses use contactless pest control devices which involves no poison.

4. Any biohazard like blood, mucus, fecal matter, vomit, semen, vaginal fluid, saliva and hair, animal droppings, skin, tears, sweat and breast milk in food must be destroyed. 

5. If customers come into the preparing area, workers must destroy all the food products. It is criminal trespassing when a person interferes with food preparers.

Roberto Hernandez, the Chipotle employee in the video, says the encounter left him shaken and traumatized, calling the video "triggering" to watch. Speaking to WUSA9, Hernandez described how the situation unfolded on Saturday during his shift at the Brentwood neighborhood Chipotle on Washington Place. 

Hernandez said he he was working his normal shift when a customer walked in and said she had ordered a burrito bowl on UberEats. She claimed her order was wrong and demanded a refund. He and his manager tried to explain that all refunds had to be issued by Uber. That’s when Hernandez told WUSA9 things escalated. 

The woman proceeded to walk behind the counter and make herself several bowls, saying she wanted the order remade with double meat and other items. Hernandez said he looked at the receipt and it didn’t say she had ordered double of anything. 

“I was mad, upset. But I’m a man you know I can’t hit a female," Hernandez said. "So I walked away.” 

He did the right thing. Why lose your job because of an irate customer?

The woman in the video told WUSA9 that she went behind the counter to remake her order when employees refused to remake her bowl or give her a refund. That's when she says employees hit her. She claims the viral video didn't capture the full incident.

"Before I threw the bowl on him or anything, all of them put their hands on me first," she told WUSA9. " ... I wasn't aggressive toward them until I got assaulted. The video was cut short."

Hernandez told WUSA9 he’s been a loyal employee for over two years, but said he's upset that he has yet to hear from corporate. He added that he'd like to see security inside the store. 

The employee also said the woman who attacked him has been threatening him online since the incident. 

“Yesterday, she was saying 'I’m going to come back and stab them and take their life,'" Hernandez relayed. "I was scared. She was scaring my co-workers too." 

In a statement to WUSA9, Chipotle said:

“At Chipotle, the health and safety of our employees is our greatest priority. We are grateful for their hard work every day and do not condone guests who mistreat our team members. We are working cooperatively with local law enforcement and hope justice will be served for the individual who did not treat our employees with the respect that they deserve.”

DC police said no police report has been filed. A spokesperson for Chipotle told  WUSA9 they are planning on filing a police report. WUSA9 also reached out to UberEats for comment, but has not heard back. 

Lesley Stahl Interviews A Mossad Terrorist!

Zionism is a cancer. Lesley Stahl interviews Mossad agents who admitted to committing the electronic terrorist attack in Beirut, Lebanon.

Time to put CBS News on notice.

Lesley Stahl, you old ghoul. I hope you fail too.

Like a damn cheerleader, this old reporter interviewed a "former" Mossad terrorist who openly admitted Israel conducted the September 2024 terrorist attacks in Beirut. The attacks involved planting explosives inside electronic devices like pagers and radios.

This was a deadly attack which killed 200 people and injured 4,000.

Israel claimed it targeted Hezbollah but in reality, it was an unlawful attack on civilians. 

On Sept. 17, after Israel and Hezbollah had been in an escalating war for nearly a year, the controversial Israeli spy agency Mossad launched one of the most dangerous deceptions in the history of counterintelligence: the pager plot, a modern take on the Trojan horse. Mossad created a bomb in a pocket – and plotted a terrorist attack on not only Hezbollah fighters but civilians into unwittingly wearing these devices on their bodies. 

The thousands of handheld pagers and hundreds of walkie-talkies intended for use by Hezbollah exploded simultaneously in two separate events across Lebanon and Syria in an Israeli attack. The attack killed at least 200 people, including at least 12 civilians, and injured at least 4,000 civilians, according to the Lebanese government. Victims had injuries including losing one or both eyes, shrapnel in their brains and amputated fingers and hands. The incident was described as Hezbollah's biggest security breach since the start of the Israel–Hezbollah conflict in October 2023. It has also been popularly referred to as Operation Grim Beeper.

The first wave of explosions targeted pagers, and occurred on September 17th around 3:30pm, killing at least 12 people, including two Hezbollah members and two children, and wounding more than 2,750, including Iran's ambassador to Lebanon. The second wave targeted Icom walkie-talkies and occurred on September 18th, killing at least 30 people and injuring over 750. The explosions occurred mostly in Lebanon, as well as in several locations in Syria. The 150 hospitals across Lebanon that received victims of the explosions experienced chaotic scenes.

In February 2024, Hezbollah's secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah instructed the group's members to use pagers instead of cell phones, claiming Israel had infiltrated their cell phone network. Hezbollah then purchased Gold Apollo AR-924 pagers about five months before the explosions. The Israeli intelligence agency (Mossad) had secretly manufactured the devices, integrated the explosive PETN into the devices, and sold them to Hezbollah through a shell company. International officials and scholars of the law of war have debated the legality of the attacks, with critics suggesting they might constitute war crimes or acts of terrorism.

Responding to the attacks, Nasrallah described the explosions as a "major blow" and labeled them an act of war, possibly a declaration of war by Israel. Initially Israel denied involvement, but in November 2024 Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted Israeli responsibility, and also authorized a couple of its intelligence agents to be interviewed to the press about the operation. Following the explosions, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced a "new phase" of the war in northern Israel and Lebanon had begun. Hezbollah vowed retaliation, launching a rocket attack on northern Israel a few days later that struck cities such as Nazareth and Kiryat Bialik, injuring several civilians. Ten days later, Israel assassinated Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in an airstrike in Beirut.

🎅✌🌎☃️🌨🎁🦌👨‍👩‍👧‍👦: 🆓️🇵🇸🍉!

We will never fall. Palestinians will rise and Israel will fall.

Nah, there is no peace on earth.

As long as the United States support for Israel and Ukraine continue, there will be no longer peace. Men, women, children and pets pay the price for war. The fight over political, cultural, religious, economic and social standings continue to divide us.

Me saying this only angers me more.

The uneducated and greedy elected a convicted felon who was impeached twice while serving the first time. A sexual predator who continues to plague women.

A man who is very definition of white privilege returns in four weeks.

He will be impeached again, guaranteed.

As we closeout 2024, I have decided to move forward. I want to be here to watch Donald J. Trump fail once again. I want to be here to watch President Joe Biden's legacy come tumbling down for allowing his religious beliefs drive his decision to allow unfettered support for the apartheid ethnostate of Israel.

I want to be here to see Vice President Kamala Harris become the villain of MAGAland. Because I want to see the anger of a Black woman unleashed through activism, protesting, boycotting and effective election victories.

If Trump lost in 2020 and won in 2024, I have a feeling it's not over for Madam Vice President. My hopes is Harris rebounding quickly and winning in 2028.

The KHive is still alive and they're buzzing.

I want to see Israel, Republicans, John Fetterman, Sean "Softball" Hannity, Benjamin Netanyahu, Ted Cruz, Rupert Murdoch, Sean "Puffy" Combs, Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Clarence Thomas, Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Elise Stefanik, Ron DeSantis, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kevin Stitt, Ron Johnson, J.D. Vance, John Thune, Chuck Schumer, Mike Johnson, Jesse Watters, Laura Ingraham, Byron Donalds, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan, Tulsi Gabbard, Issac Herzog, Vladimir Putin, Antony Blinkin, Linda Thomas Greenfield, Ritchie Torres, Laura Loomer, Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Lindi Li, Van Jones, Jake Tapper, Dana Bash, Joe Scarborough, Mika Brzezinski, Lindsey Graham, Tim Scott, Wesley Hunt, Daniel Penny, Mark Levin, Kyle Rittenhouse, Mike Bruan, Greg Abbott, Bill O'Reilly, Chris Cuomo and of course the far right trolls to fail.

In the spirit of Christmas, I say fuck em all.

Many of you are hopefully spending time with your families. Others are still working to keep the country moving even on this holiday.

Given 2/3 of the United States had a monster blizzard and record cold temperatures, more people are working to keep lights on and lives saved.

Gun violence never takes a break. I will say that somewhere in the country, there will be a shooting. The United States had over 700 mass shooting this year.

I would say thank you to the essential workers and open service workers. You are truly the people who run the world.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are still active despite being on Christmas vacation. They are required to know the mood and the world events in their press briefings and engagements.

Those who work constantly include:

1. The President of the United States
2. The Vice President of the United States
3. Prime Minster of Canada
4. U.S. Military 
5. Police Officers
6. First Responders (Firefighters/EMT)
7. Border Agents
8. Hospitals
9. News Reporters And Meteorologists
10. Electric Grid Workers
11. Cable, Internet And Telephone Workers
12. Gas Station Clerks
13. Toll Booth Operators
14. Barge And Cruise Ship Operators
15. Casino Workers
16. Hotel Workers
17. Sit In Restaurant Workers
18. Bus Drivers
19. Taxi/Lyft/Uber Drivers
20. Tow Truck Operators
21. Train Operators
22. Truck Drivers
23. Security Officers
24. Snow Removal Operators
25. Volunteer Helpers For The Homeless
26. Suicide Hotline Operators
27. Radio DJ (Local Operators)
28. Prison Guards
29. Mental Health Counselors
30. Water And Sanitation Operators
31. Storm Clean Up And Spotters
32. Criminals

7-Eleven/Speedway, Sheetz, Buc-ee's, Circle K, Wawa, Casey's General Stores, Waffle House, Ihop, Red Lobster, Walgreens, CVS, Golden Corral, Ponderosa, Perkins, Bob Evans, Domino’s and a few Save A Lot stores are open. 

Check local times. 

McDonald's, Burger King, Hardees/Carl's Jr. at some locations are open. Usually on major tollways and franchised owned.

Again, we must acknowledge that many aren’t getting an opportunity to spend time with their families. Many may never see their loved ones ever again thanks to gun violence and the coronavirus.

 

By the end of the month, we will have more Americans dead from gun violence. It's unfortunate that we have an ineffective Congress and a junk food media that refuses to stay focus on the real issues.

Also, we must take into account the plight of the Palestinians. The Israeli government is literally doing a genocide under the guise of "defending itself."

I mean every year is frustrating as like many others in the past. I thought we would get through this together. Alas, we are still fighting culture wars. 

Full disclosure: I an working one job to make ends meet. I am making ends meet but I am not happy about the job and feel like I am exhausted. 

When I get older, I will say to my grandchildren, I survived the global pandemic. We had a president who allowed a genocide to happen and is actually caving to a foreign country. We elected a convicted felon and sexual predator again as president.

Biden let me down. Trump let me down. 

Despite the results on the economy, Biden's critics are often pivoting because they know some of his policies are effective. 

Biden, Trump, Congress and the junk food media are stuck on stupid.

I miss seeing my son. Holidays don't suck but it would be nice to have a Christmas without the strings attached.

My son is biracial. I found out he existed on Dec. 7, 2016. He was born in August. I still deal with the PTSD from missing out my first child’s birth. There’s nothing worse than to find out you had a “surprise child” from a blind date.

It happens to the best and the worst of us.

I will move forward because I value everything. I won't let setbacks stop me. 

My time will come and successes are looking bright next year.

Art Evans Passed Away!

Art Evans, a pioneering Black actor passed away from diabetes.

Art Evans was perhaps best known in my childhood TV days as Santa Claus disguised as a homeless man named Ben on Family Matters who patched up a feud between Eddie and Laura over his reckless decision to throw out a doll she cherished. 

Art had passed away at the age of 82. He passed away from complications of diabetes. He leaves behind wife Bebe and son, Ogadae.

Evans' acting career, spanning almost 40 years, started with Frank Silvera's Theater of Being in Los Angeles. He took a starring role in The Amen Corner which transferred to Broadway in 1965. His first uncredited acting performance in film was Claudine in 1974. His first credited role was in Chico and the Man as Bubba in the episode "Too Many Crooks" which aired in 1976, and his talents for many instruments came in handy when playing Blind Lemon Jefferson in the movie Leadbelly (1976).

One of Evans's early roles was the first victim in the John Carpenter film Christine, based on the novel by Stephen King; Evans played a Detroit auto worker found dead on the assembly line after daring to flick cigar ash on Christine's upholstery. In 1984, Evans co-starred in the all-star African-American drama A Soldier's Story as the memorable brown-nosing character Wilkie. He is probably best known for his role as Leslie Barnes in the action film Die Hard 2 (1990) in which he played the chief engineer at Dulles International Airport that helps LAPD detective John McClane, played by Bruce Willis, stop terrorists from crashing planes. His other film credits include Big Time (1977), Youngblood (1978), The Cracker Factory (1979), National Lampoon's Class Reunion (1982), Into the Night (1985), Fright Night (1985), Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling (1986), Ruthless People (1986), Native Son (1986), White of the Eye (1987), School Daze (1988), The Mighty Quinn (1989), Downtown (1990), Trespass (1992), CB4 (1993), Bitter Harvest (1993), Tales from the Hood (1995) and Metro (1997). He has also made many appearances in a variety of television shows such as M*A*S*H, Hill Street Blues, Monk, The X-Files, and Family Matters on which he played a man claiming to be Santa Claus. His most recognizable television role was on A Different World, portraying Mr. Johnson, father of Ron Johnson (portrayed by Darryl M. Bell).

Evans also starred in the music video for Stevie Wonder's "Go Home".

In 2010, Evans was seen in Anderson's Cross playing the grandfather of the lead character Nick Anderson. In 2011, Art had a guest appearance on the sitcom Last Man Standing in the episode titled "Grandparents Day".

Big Will Hospitalized!

Bill Clinton had a medical emergency.

The 42nd President of the United States is hospitalized for a fever. The former president has been placed on observation.

Bill Clinton was a president that made me feel good about the 1990s. He was a flawed man. A possible sexual predator, but a damn good president who managed through two terms with centrist policies and a staunchly conservative Congress.

Clinton was impeached because he lied under oath when he hid an affair with Monica Lewinsky. It also exposed Republicans who also had affairs and sexual predatory behavior.

Republicans continue to demonize him and wife, former first lady Hillary Clinton. 

Hillary Clinton was the former first lady, former U.S. senator, former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential nominee. She along with Kamala Harris lost to Donald J. Trump, a misogynist sexual predator. Also Trump is the first president who is a sexual predator, a convicted felon, twice impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, as well as a insurrectionist. Trump is the very definition of white privilege.

He demonized Hillary and Bill.

Donald and Bill are allegedly clients of Jeffrey Epstein.

Clinton, 78, "has been admitted to MedStar Georgetown University Hospital for testing and observation after developing a fever," said Angel Ureña, Clinton's deputy chief of staff.

"He is in good spirits and grateful for the care he is receiving," Ureña said.

A source close to Clinton, the 42nd president, said the situation is "not urgent."

"The former president will be fine," the source said. "He developed a fever and wanted to be checked out. He is awake and alert."

Clinton has faced a number of health scares since he left office in 2001.

He underwent a quadruple bypass operation at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in 2004 and returned to the same hospital for another heart procedure in 2010, when two stents were inserted into a coronary artery.

He was also hospitalized for six days in California in 2021 with a urological infection that spread to his bloodstream.

Clinton campaigned vigorously for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris this year and recently released a memoir about his post-presidential life.

Clinton has spoken at every Democratic National Convention since 1976, including this August.

“I want to say this from the bottom of my heart,” he said in that address. “I have no idea how many more of these I’ll be able to come to.”

Man Sets Woman On Fire! Far Right Back On Hating Immigrants Again! [NSFW]

Drunk man sets woman on fire in New York subway. The suspect is an immigrant. Trump and the minions race to exploit.

Take discretion, graphic content. 

Another white woman killed is catnip for President-elect Donald J. Trump and Republicans to exploit. A woman who was set on fire by a man who was from Guatemala.

Although, I can't confirm the name, they have it as Amelia Carter.

A woman was murdered while riding the subway in New York City. 

President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President-elect Donald J. Trump, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance, mayor Eric Adams, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Republicans in Congress were notified.

But guess who is going to exploit this?

The suspect entered the U.S. in 2018 (during Trump's first term).

Again, warning graphic content. If the posts from X are deleted or removed, it is the company not me. Again, it is graphic and shows the lack of compassion of riders. The fear of seeing that also reduces people from assisting in saving this woman.

WARNING: GRAPHIC
This is the woman set on fire by the illegal in NYC. First, a cop walks by and does nothing. Then the arsonist starts fanning the flames with a jacket and the cop walks by him doing it! (Thanks for the comments about the perp fanning the flames) pic.twitter.com/okSh49IU4R

— Military Arms (@MAC_Arms) December 24, 2024

But since the incident happened in 2024, the Republicans are already blaming Biden and Adams.

Sebastian Zapeta-Calil was apprehended and is facing murder, arson and inducing panic charges. The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

He has no criminal history, yet the far right is signal boasting this as the latest white supremacist talking point.

Also. 

Again graphic content.

No one helped the victim as she was on fire. Everyone was quick to pull out the camera phones but not willing to grab a fire extinguisher or a blanket. They just show the video of the victim completely in flames while the suspect was allegedly fanning the flames.

Even a MTA police officer walked by the photo.

Daniel Penny who placed a chokehold on Jordan Neeley was hailed a hero. The man literally strangled a man and the far right praised him. Neeley was mentally ill, homeless and had minor criminal history. He walks and gets box seats with Trump and Vance.

A woman was set on fire on the subway and cops walked by her doing nothing.

Where’s the response from @NYPDnews @NYCMayor? Where’s the hotline for regular people, @GovKathyHochul?

Or is NYPD too busy staging photo ops with Luigi Mangione and busting up strikes from Amazon… pic.twitter.com/hdbXxzwR6o

The shooting of Brian Thompson won praise by some white folks. The suspect, Luigi Mangione was perp walked by the New York Police Department and FBI and it was ridiculed as a political stunt. Just days after a white girl had conducted a mass shooting in Madison, Wisconsin. Natalie Rupnow, 15-year old white girl shoot and killed two, then took her life. The Abundant Life Christian High School mass shooting happened. It took a few days of coverage and we quickly moved on. Republicans reacted like they always do, by deflecting. 

It was justified for a stranger to stop a potential threat. How can these people ignore a woman on fire? 

Can't do anything about gun violence. 

Americans must have a right to firearms. Sure, they can be used in murder, suicide and criminal acts, but damnit, it's our freedoms.

Quit praising shooters who kill rich people. The UnitedHealthcare company denies about 40% of claims and it advocates for hefty bills on claimants. The shooters were white and the media claims mental illness or some motivation associated to political causes. 

This immigrant incident will be fresh on House Republicans minds. 

Since the suspect is a person of color, here comes the proposed bills that take away freedoms, demonizes minorities, enable the wealthy and gives unprecedented powers to the incompetent.

Flood Gaetz!

The Gaetz are open.

Former Florida U.S. House member did have an engagement with a 17-year old girl, paid for prostitutes and used hard drugs. 

Again, no one is perfect and what two consenting adults do in their homes is no one's business. However, Matt Gaetz represents the Bro Culture and he is unapologetic about his deeds. Matter of fact, he just brought more into his fold.

I mean Democrats need to not worry about this shit. 

Let Republicans fight this noise out. They already engaging in a civil war since they kept the federal government open.

Gaetz and his wife Ginger are looking forward to promoting MAGAland through social media and engagements. Ginger is 12 years younger than the former lawmaker.

Y'all voted for this.

Gaetz withdrew his bid to be the U.S. Attorney General under President-elect Donald J. Trump. It was clear that members of the Senate were not on board with it.

Yet, Republicans nominated and the American people plus the Electoral College put Trump in. He is a convicted felon and sexual predator. So there are no standards in how to be a president, governor, senator, lawmaker or city official.

Trump set the bar so low but Republicans are so willing to not nominate others like him.

Gaetz is a member-elect despite his resignation. It will take Gov. Ron DeSantis to issue a special election to replace him. It is a pretty Republican friendly district so it won't take long before another Matt Gaetz gets in.

Gaetz has denied wrongdoing but did say last week, “In my single days, I often sent funds to women I dated - even some I never dated but who asked. I dated several of these women for years,” Gaetz said. “It’s embarrassing, though not criminal, that I probably partied, womanized, drank and smoked more than I should have earlier in life. I live a different life now,” CNN reported.

Gaetz filed a lawsuit in federal court to prevent the report’s release saying that he is a private citizen and does not come under the committee’s jurisdiction any longer, CBS News reported.

The report said Gaetz broke state laws that he paid tens of thousands of dollars to women for sex or drugs at least 20 times. One of the women he allegedly paid was 17 years old in 2017 when the committee said some of the allegations occurred. She had just completed her junior year in high school when the alleged sexual encounter happened. She did not tell Gaetz she was under 18 and he allegedly didn’t ask, CBS News reported.

“From 2017 to 2020, Representative Gaetz made tens of thousands of dollars in payments to women that the Committee determined were likely in connection with sexual activity and/or drug use,” the report said, according to CBS News.

The report said Gaetz paid more than $90,000 to a dozen women and used or possessed illegal drugs including cocaine and ecstasy, The New York Times reported.

Gaetz served in Congress from 2017 until he resigned last month when President-elect Donald Trump selected him to be the attorney general in Trump’s second term. Gaetz removed his name from consideration about a week later.

The committee said Gaetz broke Florida state laws including statutory rape and House rules including misuse of his office, among others, The New York Times reported.

“The Committee determined there is substantial evidence that Representative Gaetz violated House Rules and other standards of conduct prohibiting prostitution, statutory rape, illicit drug use, impermissible gifts, special favors or privileges, and obstruction of Congress,” the committee wrote according to CNN.

The committee however did not find enough conclusive evidence that Gaetz violated sex trafficking laws.

“Although Representative Gaetz did cause the transportation of women across state lines for purposes of commercial sex, the committee did not find evidence that any of those women were under 18 at the time of travel, nor did the committee find sufficient evidence to conclude that the commercial sex acts were induced by force, fraud, or coercion,” the committee said, according to the Times.

Gaetz did not provide sworn testimony in front of the committee but did submit some written answers.

Kay Granger Turns Up In Dementia Facility!

Mind playing tricks on me.

Y'all voted for this.

Congress adverted a government shutdown. Once again Republicans are feuding with one another over this. They have vowed to make House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) term a constant headache come Jan. 3.

We have too many old people in Congress.

The average age of the lawmakers is 58 in the House and 64 in the Senate.

Most of these elected lawmakers show more immaturity than children.

The folks who wanted President Joe Biden to step aside, allowed President-elect Donald J. Trump in.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) had medical issues. Rep. David Scott (D-GA) got angry at a photographer who spotted him in a wheelchair. He complains saying he ain't allowed to film him. I guess he ignores the fact he is a public servant who is elected by his constituents. Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) claimed a LGBTQ activist shook her hand so hard she needed a sling. Many mocked her for overexegrating the incident.

Now Republicans are expected to lose three House members because they accepted Trump's nominations.

Republicans have a five seat majority. They can't lose more than four.

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) had announced she will not be in the House conference which puts the majority at stake. 

Mace along with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) and so many do nothings will be a headache to President Donald J. Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance.

Rep. Kay Granger (R-TX) is expected to leave Congress. But her whereabouts were unknown until a local Dallas newspaper exposed her location.

Granger, who is retiring at the end of this congressional term, has largely remained absent from the Capitol in recent months, having last cast votes on July 24. She was not present for over 54% of votes this year.

The Dallas Express investigated the 81-year-old congresswoman's absence, publishing a report on Friday that quoted a constituent of her district who said that Granger was residing in a memory care facility in Texas. The report was later picked up by other news outlets.

Fox News spoke with a source from Granger's office who denied that Granger was in a memory care unit. The source told Fox News that Granger is in a retirement facility where memory care is provided, though not in the memory care unit itself.

Granger released a statement to Fox News, saying that she has faced "health challenges" and is "deeply grateful for the outpouring of care and concern" over the weekend.

"As many of my family, friends, and colleagues have known, I have been navigating some unforeseen health challenges over the past year," Granger said in the statement. "However, since early September, my health challenges have progressed making frequent travel to Washington both difficult and unpredictable. During this time, my incredible staff has remained steadfast, continuing to deliver exceptional constituent services, as they have for the past 27 years."

Granger, who did not seek re-election for the coming term, has served in the House since 1997. She previously served as the first female mayor of Fort Worth, Texas.

While Granger appears to not have cast a vote since July, she did return to the Capitol in November for the unveiling of her portrait as Appropriations Committee Chairwoman, and a reception that followed.

Who Thought It Would Be Funny Using Bug Spray On Produce?

This fool sprayed bug spray on open food products inside an Arizona Walmart.

Winners and losers of 2024.

Only in America.

Not Florida.

Arizona.

You can't fix stupid.

Can we do a Darwin Award for the most stupidest people on the planet?

You can't change minds!

You are completely trapped in stupid.

You are wrapped and emboldened in stupid.

Y'all voted for this.

Charles Smith, 27 of Phoenix decided to make a social media prank that was extremely dangerous. He literally stole Hot Shot Flea and Bedbug spray off a Walmart rack to spray on produce and open heated food. 

Only an idiot sprays bananas with bug spray.

What is so damn ignorant was the man filmed himself doing it for YouTube, TikTok and X. He claims to make nearly $10,000 doing social media postings.

Somehow, I just don't see why it would be smart for him to even continue knowing he literally tried to poison people, criminally damage property, shoplift and intentionally dispose of criminal tools.

Smith on Saturday in connection with the incident that happened on Thursday at the megastore at Stapley Drive and Baseline Road.

Mesa police said they found out about the video showing the items getting sprayed on Friday.

Police said Smith entered the store with plans to film social media pranks, but he instead grabbed a can of Hot Shot Ultra Bed Bug and Flea Killer without paying for the item.

Video uploaded to social media, but later deleted, shows Smith spraying the pesticide on various produce items available for purchase, including vegetables, fruit and rotisserie chickens.

A Walmart spokesperson said workers removed all the directly impacted products and cleaned and sanitized the affected area of the store.

Smith reportedly filmed his face, the pesticide can and the act of spraying the items before he posted the video online.

Mesa police began an investigation along with the Tempe Police Department and identified Smith as the suspect. Police contacted Smith, and he turned himself in voluntarily.

Police say Smith admitted to the act in an interview. He faces the following charges:

Introducing Poison (Class 6 Felony)

Criminal Damage (Class 1 Misdemeanor)

Endangerment (Class 1 Misdemeanor)

Theft (Class 1 Misdemeanor)

Arizona’s Family talked with shoppers who are downright upset.

“Pranks should be actually funny. Like if it’s hurting others in the process, why would you do that?” said Alysia Iverson.

According to court paperwork, Smith is a self-proclaimed “troll.” Police said Smith told them he posts these types of pranks on his social as a “troll” and can make anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 a month.

A troll is someone who makes deliberately offensive or provocative posts online.

Make him famous.

”I think social media has got people doing crazy things out here,” said Xavier Griego, a shopper at Walmart. “It’s unfortunate that somebody would mess up their whole life, potentially, for something on social media for views.”

The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Obviously, he will be banned from Walmart. He will be forced to pay for all the damages to products, the sanitation disposal fees, likely be demonitized from all his social media platforms, face medical expenses from shoppers who consumed any of those products. 

Customers who purchased these products or witnessed it will be traumatized.

Yeah, we all had messed up orders at grocery stores and fast food restaurants. We had bad customer service from cashiers, servers, managers and customer service. We all been frustrated with the service industry.

But for intentional and unintentional food contamination, it is very rare.

1. Restaurants, gas stations and grocery stores are forbidden from having chemicals near food. The federal and state authorities have strict guidelines to contamination.

2. Insect spray, rat poisons, unauthorized cleaning chemicals and glue traps are not used in restaurants, gas stations, bars and retailers.

3. All businesses use contactless pest control devices which involves no poison.

4. Any biohazard like blood, mucus, fecal matter, vomit, semen, vaginal fluid, saliva and hair, animal droppings, skin, tears, sweat and breast milk in food must be destroyed.
