2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Mega Power Frunk









The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning features a super-versatile front trunk, also known as a frunk.

This looks to be an ideal place to store messy or dirty items, the Lightning's Mega Power Frunk is washable and has drain outlets, so hosing it out shouldn't be a problem if your hiking boots leave mud streaks everywhere. Access to this space is super easy, too. You can open the frunk six ways -- from the key fob to a grille-mounted button to the exterior keypad, just to name a few.

(NPR) America's Satanic Panic Returns -- This Time Through QAnon

Great 11 minute listen on NPR. I had an actual “driveway moment” sitting and listening to the whole thing. Geraldo isn’t in the text summary but his TV documentary lead to many other such reports especially on local TV stations.

https://www.npr.org/2021/05/18/997559036/americas-satanic-panic-returns-this-time-through-qanon

The first time sociologist Mary de Young heard about QAnon, she thought: "Here we go again."

De Young spent her career studying moral panics — specifically, what became known as the "Satanic Panic" of the 1980s, when false accusations of the abuse of children in satanic rituals spread across the United States.

The McMartin Pre-School case became one of the longest and most expensive criminal cases ever tried in the United States. It ended when Buckey was acquitted of dozens of charges in 1990.

"They see themselves as heroic," says Wright. "And how can you be heroic in today's world? Well, you protect the children — you protect the children against this cabal that is out to turn them into sex slaves. How could there be anything more important than that?"

January 6th? What about 1 week later when Trump was IMPEACHED for January 6th?

We have forgotten January 13, 2021 already? Well MSM clearly has

I find it amazing there's almost no discussion that Trump was Impeached over this actual day
There is almost no mention anywhere that I’ve heard that his second impeachment was due to instigating January 6th. Prior to, on, and during the day of the attack.

The House passed the article of impeachment on January 13, 2021, by a 232–197 vote. All 222 Democrats voted to impeach, joined by 10 Republicans (including House Republican Conference chairwoman Liz Cheney). Four Republicans did not vote, and the other 197 Republicans voted no.

"Welfare" Fraud! Brett Favre has not paid rest of $1.1M to Mississippi TANF

Brett Favre yet to make $600K repayment to Mississippi despite promise, state says

Favre promised to repay the state after an audit released in May 2020 revealed $1.1 million had been paid to his company, Favre Enterprises. The amount was part of $94 million in welfare spending that was "questioned" by auditors who said they either saw clear misspending or could not verify whether money was lawfully spent.

"After the initial media dustup, he stroked a check for $500 grand and gave a commitment, a voluntary commitment, to repay the rest in the coming months," Reeves told The Associated Press. "And then, that didn't happen.“

The audit claimed Favre Enterprises was paid $500,000 in December 2017 and $600,000 in June 2018, and Favre was supposed to have made speeches for at least three events. The auditor's report said "upon a cursory review of those dates, auditors were able to determine that the individual contracted did not speak nor was he present for those events."

Favre has not been accused of a crime.

When federal officials make that decision, they could choose to take no action, or to ask Favre and others to pay money back, Reeves said. The state of Mississippi could be asked to repay the money from its general fund, or federal authorities could choose to withhold a percentage of Mississippi's federal funding until the money is repaid.
