INSANE! ----> ICE Agents to get Electric Shock Gloves <---- Allowing Monsters to Torture People at Will. NO TRIAL, NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH... JUST CRAZY!

Immigration and Customs Enforcement is planning to give its officers high-tech gloves that deliver electric shocks to people they're trying to detain, according to plans posted by the Department of Homeland Security this week. The agency could spend as much as $20 million on the gloves made by Compliant Technologies, a veteran-owned company based in Kentucky.

The device is called the G.L.O.V. E., an acronym that stands for Generated Low Output Voltage Emitter. When a small button on the wrist of the glove is activated, it delivers an electric shock when it touches skin. It is similar to a taser, but unlike a taser, there are no prongs that emerge and break the skin.

Demonstrations of the gloves in use appear to show it inflicting pain. The Instagram page for Compliant Technologies is filled with videos of police officers being subjected to the glove in demonstrations. Many of them grimace or yell, and almost all of them fall to the ground. The Associated Press first reported on ICE's plans to equip its officers with the technology.

The Orwellian Company Behind ICE’s New Electric Shock Gloves

The shock gloves, he went on to explain, allow their wearer to inflict pain without leaving the sort of marks that could look bad to witnesses or leave an officer vulnerable to lawsuits.

“In today’s society, you know, everybody’s filming everything, everybody has a cell phone,” Glueck said. If an officer punches someone on camera, that can go viral in an instant; even a standard taser leaves puncture wounds. But “the glove is low optic, and it looks better on camera, and it looks better to those witnesses. With a glove, there are no burn marks or scars.”

Was it BEAR SPRAY? Carrying bear spray in urban centers or using it against human attackers can result in criminal charges, as it is not certified or labeled as a legal personal defense spray under New York penal law.

PRO TIP: If you're going to do evil, don't do it while someone's filming you with their phone... Patriots have access to youtube and we can publish your crimes... 

Linda Wolff, a 72-year-old New York City grandmother and activist, is pursuing legal action after a masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent pepper-sprayed her in the face. The late July 2026 incident occurred in Inwood, Manhattan, while Wolff was filming and verbally confronting a tow truck driver during an ICE vehicle tow operation...

Troubles We Need to Fix as Soon as Possible: ICE OUT of the USA, Close the Concentration Camps... END IRAN WAR, ARREST HIS EVIL MUNCHKINS... Release the Unredacted Epstein Files... Fund Food Stamps - Feed Children Free School Breakfast & Lunch... Deport Elon Musk... Unplug AI - No Data Centers... End the Tariffs...

Legalize Marijuana Nationwide & Release ALL The Weed Prisoners... Break Up the TV/Movie/Social Media Monopoly - Corporate Censorship... Overturn Citizens United... Corporations are Not People! Soylent Green is People! End the Electoral College... Defend National Parks from Mining, Oil Drilling and Logging... Defend National Forests and Roadless areas too... Make the EPA the Environmental Protection Agency and NOT the Enable Polluters Agency... Make the FBI & DOJ Mission to Enforce the Law not to Punish People That Oppose Trump... Replace all the Trees Trump Cut Down... Plant Cherry Trees near the Jefferson Memorial. Plant Trees near the Golf Course in East Potomac Park. Remove Trump's Name from Everything... Reopen The Kennedy Center... Rebuild the East Wing of the White House... Legalize Medicinal Psychedelics - Let Doctors and Patients decide for themselves what the best medicine is...

Lets Do Trump's Impeachment AND Conviction... While Unlikely, it Would Be FUN... It Takes 67 Senators Voting Guilty... But it would be a Great TV Show! 

Have I Forgotten Anything?

I Wrote The Following Words BEFORE The Election

<~~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~~>

Vote for Democrats Nationwide... FREE MEMES! Please Share With Friends, Family and Campaign Staff... 

I read in the paper that the Democratic Party is going to spend a lot of money campaigning online... Well, Here's some Free Content for them to use in their marketing. If you know anyone that works for the Democratic Party please email them this page!

Remember when Trump was impeached for trying to extort Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2019? Remember that? And remember when he was impeached a second time for inciting a violent insurrection when he lost to Joe Biden two years later? Remember that? Yeah?
No.
The White House pressured the Smithsonian to remove any mention of Donald Trump from the museum’s impeachment exhibit. And they have complied. But the impeachments of Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton are still on display, because… you know; history.

More, More, MORE!

Why should I vote against all Republicans?

GROK SAID:

Policy Priorities: Critics argue Republican policies often prioritize tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations, which they say increases income inequality. For example, the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is cited as disproportionately benefiting high earners, with the top 1% seeing significant tax reductions while middle-class gains were modest, according to analyses from groups like the Tax Policy Center.

Social Issues: Many oppose Republicans for their stances on issues like abortion, same-sex marriage, or immigration. For instance, some see Republican-led efforts to restrict abortion access—especially post-Roe v. Wade overturn in 2022—as limiting personal freedoms. Similarly, policies like stricter immigration enforcement or border wall proposals are viewed by critics as inhumane or overly punitive.

Climate and Environment: Republicans are often criticized for downplaying climate change or opposing environmental regulations. Some point to figures like Donald Trump, who has called climate change a “hoax,” or to the party’s general resistance to policies like the Green New Deal, arguing this delays critical action on global warming.

Healthcare: Opponents argue Republicans have sought to dismantle the Affordable Care Act without offering a viable alternative, potentially leaving millions uninsured. The repeated attempts to repeal the ACA during Trump’s presidency are often cited as evidence of this.

Polarization and Rhetoric: Some voters are turned off by what they see as divisive or extreme rhetoric from prominent Republicans, particularly in the MAGA wing, which critics argue fuels polarization or undermines democratic norms. Events like the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot are often referenced as a consequence of such rhetoric.

San Jose State University - Memories of Great Times I Had There... including The JERRY GARCIA BAND at the Boys Gym.

 I went to the Library on Campus to use the FREE Internet in the 1990s. Long before I Could Afford to Buy My Own Computer and Get AOL Disks... They Ran on The Archie and Veronica Internet System. Long before the WWW and Alta Vista Search Engine. Long before Google... There was a Cheap Chinese Restaurant nearby... 

I also went to the San Jose Public Library next to the Convention Center. On the Light rail that I rode from Almaden. They Had 10 Public Computers and an average of 16 People That wanted to use them. So everyone had a Half Hour Time Limit and then we rotated in. I built my first Websites There. Tripod and Yahoo Geocities Yosemite Trails 6803. While waiting my turn I would talk to the Other Patrons and Learn How To Build a Website...

One time I had eaten Magic Mushrooms and I walked into the Convention Center while they were Setting Up a Car Show Featuring the New Volkswagon Beetle... I didn't but a ticket but I looked Like a Technician... and NO ONE Asked me to Leave... Especially Important because when I'm Tripping I Look like a VIKING BERSERKER and Everybody Should "Let the Wookie Win" - The Next day a Work my Boss asked me What Color the Volkwagon was... well, I saw Paisley Rainbows swirling all over the Car...  I couldn't tell him That so I Said Green... 

My Family went to Fourth of July Fireworks Shows at Spartan Stadium... They had a Giant Flag attached to the Goalposts made out of Stationary Sparklers. and Rockets that shot across the Field.. They Looked Like they Were aimed at the People but they always safely exploded on a wall at the Bottom of the Stands.

I went to A Rock Concert in the Afternoon with CANNED HEAT at Spartan Stadium High on Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds. 

My Father and I Went to Giants Minor League Baseball Games... Pretty Entertaining because a High Fly Ball is NOT GUARANTEED to be Caught, More Variety, More Excitement due to More Errors.. 

I went to see the JERRY GARCIA BAND at the Boys Gym. I was able to Stand Right next to the Stage in front of Garcia. I had to move back after one song because that location was Too Damn Loud... I spent the Afternoon Relaxing on a Lawn Listening to a Slender Strawberry Blond Woman blow a Conch Shell. The Big song of the Night was "Lay Down Sally" with a Perky Rhythm.

Founded in 1975, the Mattole Valley Community Center (MVCC) has occupied this renovated old schoolhouse since 1978. The MVCC is home to many activities. 

Inside - Concert

The local preschool started here. In the aftermath of the major 1992 earthquakes, the building served as the emergency response center for the Red Cross, FEMA, and the Office of Emergency Services. The main offices of the Mattole Restoration Council are housed upstairs.
Cabaret evenings of local musical and acting talent raise money for local non-profits and are a vibrant MVCC tradition. Community organizations regularly meet here. Important recent meetings addressed the Marine Life Protected Area designation, fire-safe planning and a proposed wind energy project.
The Sunday Farmers’ Market (11am-1pm) and Sunday café currently are a popular weekly gathering spot for community members. Classes and practices include yoga, dance, Zumba, qi-gong, and aikido. Fund-raising festivals and private parties are held both inside and out. Young children enjoy the playground.

My Father liked to Travel with the people from the Willow Glen Senior Center. They had a Sign up sheet for a Bus Ride to Bear River Casino near Eureka. He'd Call me and I'd meet him there and we'd go drive around Humboldt County... Doing Tourist Fun Stuff... Then they Toured the Loleta Cheese Factory and Watched the Christmas Truck Parade... He did a Lot of traveling with the UC Berkeley Alumni Club. That would be a dozen tourists and a Tour Guide that Spoke the Language and Knew the History of the Place... He went to Odessa, Ukraine and Copper Canyon Mexico... Really handy having a Guide that made everything work smoothly...

A man I knew had plastic surgery on his stomach to make it smaller... so he would lose weight... because he thought he was too fat... now he looks terrible... as if he's starving... unhealthy... thin... Wasting Away...

FOLKS: Be Happy Being Fat! or Be Happy Being Thin! Unless you are extremely fat or Extremely Thin... Then go see a Real Doctor for some Valid Advice... DO NOT Go to a Plastic Surgeon first. Their recommendation will always be "buy surgery from me!" The Man I know Lives and Works in Hollywood... and the Brainwashing has Totally Fried His Understanding of Reality...

My feeling about being "overweight" is: My Ancestors Lived in Holland and Scotland. Starving to Death in the Winter was a Major Problem. Therefore, We carried a Layer of FAT on Our Bodies to use During Those Months When Food Was Scarce... We The Fat People Survived, and Had Children... Passing on the "Fat Gene" to My Great Grandparents... What Right Have "Others" to tell me what weight I should Be? PFBBBT!
