We are aware of the initial buzz around Threads but still harbor serious trepidations on the perceived censorship issue looming long term. That Zucker has firmly entrenched himself on the “leftist’ side which to us means onerous censorship (we have seen first hand on Facebook) down the line especially as 2024 election cycle heats up is a major catalyst for our recalcitrance to build a platform on that site. We have employed the same mentality on Truth Social also but for slightly different reasons and opt to build on our wholly owned platforms for now because we relish the unfettered ability to say what we feel…

Truth and we pay for this people. Remember that in rising prices.As a first person testimonial sidebar to this post we were out and about yesterday and did some banking. We bank at BMO Harris and have for decades and found the people at the various banks we visit to ALWAYS be customer service oriented and uber friendly and helpful. We went into a west suburban Chicago bank location to remain unnamed and were astounded to find the doors locked but with a lobby open sign prominently featured on the door. Flummoxed we walked around to the drive up to see if anyone was in bank and got the attention of a teller who recognized us and came to the front door and manually opened it.We asked if it was an oversight and the service rep said no, it was a direct result of multiple BMO bank robberies in suburban Chicago and they did not have security on site at the time. We were aware of a recent branch robbery in Bolingbrook just last week which occurred on the heels on ANOTHER robbery in south suburban Frankfort in mid June.This on top of 2 earlier west suburban BMO branch robberies in Lisle and Naperville but those criminals were caught Thank God as same idiots pulled both Lisle and Naperville heists. This was a jarring reality check for us as we report on bank robberies on an almost weekly basis and BMO is not the only one being hit .We left the bank with a feeling of uneasiness as to us this signifies a potent reminder on how truly lawless this society is becoming and that stark reality dovetails with Judge Jeannie comments here. And all of this in last 2 years since Trump left office for the most part. And you say elections don’t matter? Here in Chicago metro area the world knows the disaster this Democrat run city has become because we post the international headlines trumpeting the fact CONSTANTLY.
