For those of you traveling this holiday, here’s a reminder: The TSA’s new video scan may feel mandatory, but spoiler alert: It’s NOT. Your driver’s license and passport are still your golden tickets. No federal or state law forces you into a live photoshoot at the checkpoint. So, unless you’re angling for a spot in their database, know when to flash a smile—and when to politely decline. Knowledge is power so know your rights. Also, President Trump needs to ABOLISH the TSA! By the way, do you know they have a 96% failure rate? By the way, do you know why those nude body scanners exist? SAIC (now Leidos Corporation) made BILLION$ selling those to airports after 9/11. A scared public is a submissive public. TSA is scanning passenger’s faces. This isn’t mandatory—you can decline. Remind your family and friends they can decline when you’re told to take the photo. If a TSA agent tells you otherwise, ask for a supervisor. pic.twitter.com/AYnmhWhDpg — Breanna Morello (@BreannaMorello) March 2, 2024 OBTW: You can opt out for taking the new TSA Video Scan. Your Drivers License and U.S. Passport is still all that you will need. There’s no federal law saying that you also have to be video scanned and photographed on the spot. It’s not even a state mandate. Know Your Rights… pic.twitter.com/lLh34p26cF — The Disruptor (@IWashington) April 17, 2024 Beware of the gropers: On my way to Young Americans for Liberty Hazlitt conference and of course I declined the body scanner and elected for the public pat down molestation. #abolishthe TSA The officer asked if anything was sore. I looked her in the eye and said “it better not be after this”. pic.twitter.com/D0CKWjLpqT — Emily Phillips (@EmilyforNH) November 21, 2024 Axios reports: A record 80 million Americans are expected to travel for Thanksgiving this year, according to AAA projections. The big picture: That’s an increase of 1.7 million people from last year’s record-shattering figure. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is preparing for the busiest Thanksgiving travel period on record, expecting to screen 18.3 million people from Tuesday, Nov. 26 to Monday, Dec. 2. “Certain foods, such as gravy, cranberry sauce, wine, jam and preserves – which are considered liquids or gels – must be packed in a checked bag if they exceed 3.4 ounces,” the TSA reminded air travelers. Between the lines: Those traveling by car and plane — and potentially even by ship — can expect traffic, long lines and delays with millions more people heading elsewhere for the holiday. What they’re saying: “Thanksgiving is the busiest holiday for travel, and this year we’re expecting to set new records across the board, from driving to flying and cruising,” Stacey Barber, vice president of AAA Travel, said in a statement. TSA Administrator David Pekoske is expecting a very busy week at airports across the country, saying the agency “is ready to accommodate record passenger volumes.” “The 10 busiest travel days in TSA’s history have all occurred in 2024, and we anticipate that trend to continue,” Pekoske added. Busiest Thanksgiving travel days by car 71.7 million people are expected to travel by car between Tuesday, Nov. 26 and Monday, Dec. 2, per AAA. That’s an additional 1.3 million travelers on the road compared to last year. The worst times to travel by car are next Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, according to INRIX, which provides transportation data and insights. The best time is Thanksgiving Day itself. Drivers returning home Sunday after the holiday should leave early in the morning, INRIX said. What we’re watching: Gas prices are lower this season compared to 2023, when the national average on Thanksgiving Day was $3.26. “Falling oil prices this autumn may help push the national average below $3 a gallon for the first time since 2021, and that could happen before drivers hit the road for Thanksgiving,” AAA said. Where we’re going: Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Oahu, Orlando, and Phoenix are the cities with the highest rental demand this Thanksgiving, according to Hertz. Thanksgiving air travel record Air travel is expected to set a new record, with a projected 5.84 million people flying domestically during the holiday week. That’s up 2% from last year and nearly 11% over 2019. The increase comes even as air travelers are paying 3% more for domestic Thanksgiving flights this year, per AAA booking data. Not exaggerating. A 96% failure rate. See quote from Politico. Now they become mandatory: https://t.co/ePfNooS6hK pic.twitter.com/cwhT7reeW8 — Michael Krieger (@LibertyBlitz) December 23, 2015 Want to go into the Nude Photo Booth and get an unhealthy dose of radiation?

Your body scanners can see my breasts and butt, but can’t make out my fat thighs enough to not warrant a pat down? Followed up by your agent’s response of “Maybe you should buy pre check then” pic.twitter.com/j37B5CON93 — Jackie Guerin (@JPenguerin) September 2, 2024 Yes. And here is why:SAIC (now Leidos Corporation) made $Billions selling these airport scanners after 9/11 raised hijacking fears.. Their Vice President used to run Security at the WTCs on 9/11, and may know something about the thermite that was found in the dust… pic.twitter.com/lEUJljMUuv — Jeremy Rys – The ‘Alien’ Scientist – MAHA (@Alien_Scientist) November 19, 2024 Until they’re abolished, why not make them uncomfortable? Like this guy, shirt reads ‘It’s Not Gay If It’s TSA’ *If you’re an illegal alien, ignore this article. Just walk into the airport like you own the joint. No scanning or patting needed. Holy cow that previous line was a joke, but upon further research it’s true! OPEN BORDER: The new TSA-PRE for expedited screening is only for illegals without ID. They get to skip both the normal and pre lines for immediate screening and boarding.

The event will also highlight how the Clinton’s have been ’empowering the next generation of leaders through the Clinton School, and deepening the understanding of the work of the Clinton Administration through the work of the Clinton Presidential Library & Museum.’ Online theories first began swirling shortly after the announcement was made about whether it could serve as a launching point for Hillary’s future political ambitions. ‘SHE’S RUNNING!’ Jason Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, wrote on X with a link to a story highlighting the event.

Welcome to Uses For Medicinal Weeds Commonly Found Around Your Home – Part 7! Let’s take a quick look at the medicinal wild plants I have covered thus far. Part 1: purslane, ground ivy, and chickweed Part 2: thistle, wild violet, hairy bitterness, and prickly lettuce Part 3:lamb’s quarters, mallow, stinging nettle, and chicory Part 4: henbit, curly dock, garlic mustard, and amaranth Part 5: daisies, sheep sorrel, and elderflowers Part 6: mullein, yarrow, and horseweed What do all of these wild plants have in common? They can usually be found close to or around your home. Today, I’ll cover the medicinal uses for cleavers, self-heal, and miner’s lettuce. Medicinal Weeds Found Around Your Home Word of caution… As I did in part 1-6, I would like to share with you two articles which include information on safety precautions you need to be aware of when foraging for wild, edible, plants. In my article, Foraging Tips for the 7 Most Common Edible Plants, I share great tips on things to consider and to look out for when you forage for any and all wild, edible plants. Another great article, “Need To Know” Rules When Picking Edible & Medicinal Plants, is written by Mykel Hawke, star of Discovery’s “Man, Woman, Wild”. He also talks about considerations and safety precautions to take when foraging in the wild. I sincerely encourage you to read these articles if you have never foraged for wild and edible plants. Foraging can be a great experience but, safety precautions are a must! Let’s get started! Cleavers (Galium aparine) Cleavers grow in moist/wet areas such as riverbanks, for example. The stems are prickly and have thin leaves. The leaves, seeds, and stem have velcro-like, hook-tipped hairs. The flowers are a whitish-green color and have 4 petals. You can consume the entire plant as a tea which possesses detoxifying properties. The tea is used to purify the liver, bladder, kidney, and blood. Additional health benefits of this tea include: Helps to reduce fluid retention. Helps to clear up urinary infections, urinary stones, and gravel. Soothes the symptoms of arthritis and gout. The seeds make a great coffee substitute. When the seeds are dried and lightly roasted, they taste much like coffee. Cleavers Tea Recipe: 1 cup of boiling water 2-3 teaspoons of dried cleavers (remember, the entire plant can be used/dried) Combine water and the dried cleavers and steep for 10-15 mins. You can drink 2-3 cups of this tea a day. Self-Heal (Prunella vulgaris) This beautiful wild plant has a distinctive flower cluster of purple and white flowers close together. The leaves are opposite of each other and the stem is reddish and square in shape. Full grown self-heal is 1-2 feet in height. Self-heal is considered part of the mint family but, does not have a minty flavor. It received its name because it is considered one of the most healing wild plants. Self-heal is used medicinally for the following: Kidney problems Heart Diabetes Fever Sore throat Laryngitis Diarrhea Tumors Cancer Abrasions, cuts, and bruises Sprains Ulcers The entire plant is edible and can used in salads, for example. You can also make cold water infusions by putting chopped, crushed, or powdered leaves in cold or lukewarm water.  Self-heal can also be consumed as a tea. Self-heal Tea Recipe: 8 ounces of hot water 1-2 teaspoons of dried self heal Combine water and dried self-heal and steep for 1 hour. You can consume 2-3 cups a day. Miner’s Lettuce (Claytonia perfoliata) This unique looking plant has cup-like shaped leaves with a tiny white flower in the middle of each leaf. The entire plant is edible and the leaves can be eaten raw or cooked. The leaves make a great addition to salads, soups, and green smoothies. Miner’s lettuce can also be added as an herb to egg salad. This plant is loaded with vitamin C, protein, omega-3 fatty acid, and fiber. The medicinal benefits of this plant include the following: Purifies the blood Reduces cholesterol Helps to protect the lymphatic system Improves heart function Possesses laxative properties Reduces inflammation throughout the body Here are the top 15 most powerful medicinal plants by facts@WEB:  What weeds commonly found around your home do you use for medicinal purposes?

In an attempt to become a useful person, I told myself at the beginning of 2024 that I would teach myself a new skill every week. This lasted about two inconsistent months. I made butter, learned how to knit and cross-stitch, and even learned to cut my own hair. None of these stuck these skills stuck like making sourdough, the hobby I became the most thankful for. Although making sourdough is not the most challenging cooking task I've attempted, it forces me to work on other underdeveloped skills, most notably patience. My roommate first shared her sourdough starter with me, and I taught myself to make bread through video tutorials online. I'm thankful that it is a simple, inexpensive, yet incredibly rewarding hobby that I get to share with my friends and my family. When it comes to anything kitchen-related, I'm pretty much self-taught (in a bad way). Like many people in my generation, I can cook simple things and follow recipes, but it's not a skill I grew up developing or being particularly good at. Making bread was not on my bingo card, so to speak, especially after the time I accidentally added salt instead of sugar to a batch of cookies I attempted in college. But I learned, and I'm thankful I did. I'm thankful that I don't have to go to the store and buy an $8 loaf of bread made with ingredients I can't pronounce. I'm also thankful that I'm able to give my friends loaves of bread so that they too can avoid buying the $8 loaf from the store with the unpronounceable ingredients. I'm thankful that my dad asked me to make him a loaf of bread for his birthday instead of the much more intimidating task of baking a cake. Although making sourdough is not the most challenging cooking task I've attempted, it forces me to work on other underdeveloped skills, most notably patience. The most difficult part about the bread-making process is called the bulk ferment, which is roughly a 12-hour period in which the dough proofs. If you bake the bread too early, the bottom becomes concave and the texture of the crumb is dense and gummy. Neither quality is desirable for a good loaf, yet they are ones I encountered multiple times. I'm not a particularly patient person. It's easy for me to point the finger at social media for rotting my attention span — and my brain, for that matter — but I've never been a particularly patient person. The phrase "good things come to those who wait" has been the antithesis of my life. But there was no getting around it with bread-making. There were no shortcuts. Believe me, many attempts were made. So now when I give a friend a loaf of bread, I'm able to do so knowing I made it with patience and care and that it would taste pretty darn good. For that, I'm thankful. Like Blaze News?

Columnist Says Joe Biden Must Do the Right Thing and Formally Cancel Thanksgiving

Pokemon Go players have found a strange piece of censorship that’s tied to the game’s word filter, preventing people from using insults aimed at specific parents.
