it’s like witnessing a “miracle” late but it’s still a miracle… i listen to #music a lot and i use #siri often enough, yet only just now i tried saying, #heysiri, put this #song on #repeat, and it worked! later i said, hey siri, stop repeating this song, and it worked again! …i’d waited this long to try this, i guess it’s because i always fear that siri would end up doing something else. hmm.

How fascists work #Reminder #Repeat

1st you create an enemy within [preferebly from another race]
2nd you tell ordinairy people they are special and not the enemy
3rd you create chaos within
4th you create chaos on the world
5th you declare a crisis [prefrebly a war]
6th you rob everybody, I mean everybody, blind. Including your own government, your supporters, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak [for as much as they are still alive].

And my dear American [or Russian] at what stage do you think you are ?

📕 #WhenIwas12.. Just an ordinary #neighborhood_kid -seeking some #spare_change.. 💰

🍼 Bottle returns wasn't cutting it.. Back in the day; one could make money 'for' #recycling. The way it should be today IMHO!.. but that's another story..

🤪 One day at 12 years old, I was hanging out with friends and overheard one saying that a #parade is coming to town and they need kids to #sell_parade_programs? 📕

Immediately my ears 👂 perked up since a #J_O_B at my age was tough -considering I was #underage to #work #officially.

Received further details of the parade and ended up at the program #distribution center at 6 am. Literally a 100 kids #waiting_in_line for #parade_programs to sell.

My turn came next and they gave me 50 programs. I ask them, " #How do we #sell these"? They said, "Just go outside and start selling them".
#TRAINING_OVER I guess.. I ask for #another 50 programs. I had 100 programs clinched in my hands:)

We were to sell them at $0.25 cents a piece.

While myself and 30 other kids stood outside, programs firmly grasped in hand -looking at each other wondering #OK_WHAT_NOW?.. Duh!

I stood and watched the other kids for a while.. I noticed the crowd all lined up waiting for the parade floats to PASS by.. Still watching the rest of the kids to see if I could pick up any pointers. #Wishful_thinking on my part. chuckles.

But while watching I realized the other kids were selling the programs to the #BACK of the #Crowd. I said to myself, "I'll #never sell many programs that way!"

"I NEED TO #GET IN #FRONT OF THE #CROWD!:)"

So with a few " #ex_squeeze_mez " (excuse me:) I ended up at the front of the crowd!

" #PARADE_PROGRAMS FOR #SALE" I #SHOUTED! -at the top of my lungs.

Within 10 minutes I sold 100 programs. YEAH!

I RAN back to the warehouse for more programs (.. #rinse and #repeat ;)

200 this time. Sold them in 20 min flat! At the end of the day I had $120.00 in my pocket. Not bad daily pay for a 12 year old kid considering min wage was $1.20 or less -cant remember.

Next year at 13, I #CAME_BACK with a #VENGEANCE!

Arrived at the program #warehouse at 5am. They #remembered_me from the amount of programs I sold the year prior..

This time I asked for 10 boxes!! 500 programs per box!! She let me have them to my surprise.

#THE_PLAN:

I decided I was going to hide these boxes in #bushes along the way of the parade (which stretched a few miles) so I wouldn't need to keep #running_back (aka #Time_Management) for more programs -which wasted most of my time to sell.

I located the boxes in #strategic places >> equally spaced >> where they would not be seen. (bushes;) along the 3 mile run of the parade.

While distributing the boxes the first thing I noticed was that the other kids where still selling programs to the BACK of the crowd..

I thought to myself.. Hmmm. #No_Competition;)

As soon as I was able to get back to the parades starting line, I headed to the front of the crowd.

To #MY_SHOCK, standing in front of me.. #WAS_A_COP! Not only that BUT many Cops -- along the way. In fact, they were spread out every 300 feet, I think:(

...and wont allow ANYONE to stand outside past the curb.. Ummm THATS #ME BTW!:(

What #TODO?!!!

~Hmmm -NOW WHAT!? "OK," I said to myself. All I need to do is a little - #Dipping and #Diving~. 

And that's what I did! When I got within 50 feet of an " #officer" :) I would #dip back into the crowd, AND #dive back to the #FRONT OF THE #CROWD.

Plus Hey, I was just a #kid. Many OFFICERS just ignored me.. or thought -- I was just #part of the #parade;) ..

( #Face the #Fear and the #Death of Fear is #Certain!)

Sold all 10 boxes (5000 programs) made more money than most KIDS MY AGE have ever seen, especially my friends, -most likely -at that age -in that era.. perhaps..not sure.. chuckles

Food for thought. I didn't even realize that I was in the #advertising_business at 12 years of age- and for many years to follow..

BUT! WE #KNOW #HOW_TO_SELL IN #FRONT OF THE #CROWD!

NOT.. The End.

In #Montana, Trump repeatedly mentioned what he still #falsely says was a “#rigged election” in 2020

and said the Republican National Committee was working at an effort to #repeat those efforts this year.

He made #xenophobic comments about migrants coming to the U.S. illegally,
🌟falsely said Harris was letting some “roam free” to assault, #rape and #murder Americans,
🌟and falsely claimed she would give undocumented immigrants all the benefits Americans enjoy.

“It’s going to be called a #Trump #mass #deportation, because we have no choice. We have no choice. If Harris wins, a never-ending stream of illegal alien #rapists,” Trump said, ironically.

He also made snide comments about Senator #Jon #Tester’s appearance, chided his support for the Inflation Reduction Act,
-- which has brought hundreds of millions of dollars to Montana, and called Tester a “big slob.”😨

Trump brought Rep. #Ronny #Jackson, R-Texas, a former physician to the president, on stage to air his animus for Tester
six years after Tester helped tank Trump’s effort to put Jackson in as the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in 2018 by bringing to light complaints Jackson had #overprescribed certain medications and was #drinking on the job.

“This man tried to destroy me. He tried to destroy my family. I’ve been waiting for six years to get back here for this night, to be with this man right here, to come after (Tester),” Jackson said, calling Tester a “Swamp hippopotamus😂

Daily Montanan · Trump rallies thousands in Bozeman in support of GOP Senate candidate Sheehy • Daily MontananFormer President Donald Trump stumped for both himself and Montana’s Republican U.S. Senate candidate Tim Sheehy for more than an hour and half Friday night, telling a crowd of mostly ardent supporters that if Republicans don’t retake the White House and Tester’s Senate seat there will be “no country left.”
