TEXAS WOMAN FINDS UNSECURED RIFLE IN NATIONAL GUARD TRUCK, TAKES IT, TWEETS IT

(Somebody is going to get a counseling statement.)

TEXAS WOMAN FINDS UNSECURED RIFLE IN NATIONAL GUARD TRUCK, TAKES IT, TWEETS IT

When a Texas woman found an unsecured M4-style rifle inside an unlocked Texas National Guard truck Monday, June 27, she took matters into her own hands by, well, taking the weapon into her own hands.

“Today, I got my hands on a fully automatic weapon thanks to the stupid, irresponsible #TexasNationalGuard #OperationLonestar who left their vehicle running & unlocked with guns inside on the side of the road,” Marianna Wright tweeted Monday. Operation Lone Star is the long-term deployment of Texas National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border within the state. “Guess the truck could’ve been mine, too. #PublicSafety, #Texas Style.”

In a series of three tweets Monday, Wright chronicled finding what she described as a pickup truck used by the Texas National Guard left unattended and unlocked. She posted a picture of the front seat with what appears to be an M4-style rifle unsecured between the front seats.

“When they left, they didn’t even notice it was missing.

On the SAME day, the world changes.

And on the same day Michigan’s 1931 total abortion ban is now back in place, Germany repeals its abortion information ban put in place in 1930’s , by the Nazi party. THE-SAME-DAY!

In one day- roles are reversed.

Today- in Germany, no more Nazi abortion discussion ban.


But today -in the USA, Michigan flips a switch and it becomes a Republican (just like Nazi’s rules) felony.

I'm curious- First Americans and Abortion?

I’m looking for some education- and I know all peoples have a variety of beliefs, but what can sone tell tell me about First American tribal culture surrounding abortion?

Would Tribal Lands be exempt from state laws on abortion?

I know some tribes have treaty rights, and are not subject to state laws. Would that hold equally true for abortion pills? Or for medical procedures? Could/would such clinics be supported within tribal communities? Or is that a subject that would create more friction?

Will it be rebroadcast? Is it on YouTube?

Buttigieg, at least 14 others test positive for COVID-19 after Mackinac Policy Conference

Source: Detroit Free Press

U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and at least 14 others have tested positive for COVID-19 after covering or attending the Mackinac Policy Conference last week.

In a statement issued Monday afternoon, conference organizer Detroit Regional Chamber indicated it is aware of at least 15 people who tested positive after attending the conference.

Buttigieg joined hundreds of politicians, business leaders, reporters and others at the conference Wednesday on Mackinac Island. He participated in multiple events unmasked, including press conferences and interviews, at times with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer.


"I have tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing mild symptoms. I plan to work remotely while isolating according to CDC guidelines, and look forward to when I can safely return to the office and the road," Buttigieg said.

Great. Lots of republicans at the Mackinac conference.

Having republicans at a gathering is just like small-pox laced Indian blankets. You shouldn’t go within a mile of them.
