May 12 is National Hospital Day.
I was going to visit some family in the hospital, but I decided to stay home and make bullets. 🤣

Gonna need a bigger casket. You'll probably be buried with yours. 

If Roy had no financial gain in this, or political gain as Kealoha was in a bad way at the time, why did he push the payment? Same with the other 2.  A simple "lets check with legal if we can do this" would have solved all the problems.  "sorry Louie, we can't pay you out as we don't have the money." And if he sues, then let it be.  All the blame would be off their shoulders as legal told them they can't do this.

"Nausea and vomiting can be severe.
Subjects may experience extreme confusion and/or a depressed mood.
 Nausea, headaches, and other side effects linger.
Insomnia, irritability, and mood changes are often seen, including depression and sometimes mania. 
Depression can persist well after 36 hours, known as a "grey day"; the effect is well-recognized
 significant acute and long-term adverse events (especially cardiac issues like QTc prolongation), including fatalities
 Ibogaine can cause various cardiovascular changes (e.g., slowed heart rate, blood pressure shifts), neurological effects (ataxia, tremor, mania), and rare but serious complications, including arrhythmias, respiratory failure, and death
A 2022 review found 58 ibogaine-associated emergencies, including 38 deaths


While I agree of the use of psychedelic drugs for the treatment of psychological issues, this drug seems more of a profit maker at the health expense of those treated.
Why not go back to that good ole Lysergic acid diethylamide 25, or the organic Shrooms and Peyote?
Never heard of any of those bad side affects in those, cept maybe some nausea on the shrooms

National 2A Day

Don't ask me why it's April 17, I don't know.
But I do intend to exercise my 2A right today.

National 2A Day is observed on April 17 every year as an American holiday celebrating the
Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which protects the right of Americans to keep
and bear arms.  The day was created by Deborah Lane in 2019 to honor the founding fathers'
foresight in enshrining these rights, though some sources note the Second Amendment
Foundation (SAF) established a version of the observance in 2013.

Historical Context: The Second Amendment was ratified on December 15, 1791, as part of
the Bill of Rights, but April 17 was chosen for the national observance to commemorate the
right itself.

State Observances: While the national day is April 17, specific states observe their own
versions, such as Oklahoma (June 28, marking the McDonald v. City of Chicago ruling) and
Pennsylvania (the fourth Tuesday of May).

Alternative Dates: Some organizations, like Brownells, have promoted a separate "National
2A Day" on February 22 to celebrate Second Amendment rights with events like free firearm
rentals at ranges.

Celebrities, politicians, and advocacy groups like the NRA often participate in events ranging
from rallies and funfairs to online discussions using the hashtag #2ADay.  In recent years,
these celebrations have also coincided with legislative victories, such as the elimination of the
$200 federal tax stamp on suppressors effective January 1, 2026.

Seems more anti American Democracy than pro gun. Of course I was raised around guns as a boy in California. My best friends parents were immigrant farm workers from Mexico that taught me to make my own weapons. I respected and learned many lessons from them that taught me to respect and work with all people. My grandfather was a  farmer and I came to know many workers that would come to work and then return to their homes and families after each season.
