Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

   I didn't preform as expected this past weekend so I gotta make a mid week visit to @Texas Robin tomorrow night, to keep her happy.   I'm looking forward to it. 
  This rebuilding this shed is kicking my a$$, I'm too old for this $hit. 

   So, I'm asking should I unplug her Alexia's and disconnect her video cameras? 
   Is that considered Kosher?

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

@Slide Rule

What's an "air tag"?
It lets you track whatever it is you put it in--good for most anything from pets to kids backpacks, to, as it turns out, trucks. In this case, he supposedly left one in the truck and found it after it had been stolen, then dealt with the thief.

Apple claims with an iPhone the range of the tag is about 800 ft. (bluetooth range max). That would get someone within a block or two a ping, though, and driving around looking for that signal would do it. I don't doubt that the owner put in a little legwork and likely had some suspicions about where it had gone.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists
