N.C. State Fires LGBTQ Pride Employee in Undercover Video
"North Carolina State University fired the assistant director of its LGBTQ Pride Center on Friday after an anti-DEI activist group secretly recorded him appearing to violate system policies, according to The Raleigh News & Observer.
This is the fourth UNC system institution where an employee has been targeted by Accuracy in Media. The group posted videos of them allegedly subverting the system’s mandate to maintain “institutional neutrality” on issues related to social policies or political controversies.
The employees who were secretly recorded by Accuracy in Media at the University of North Carolina campuses in Charlotte and Asheville and Western Carolina University no longer work at those institutions."
OT, Car Saga: waiting impatiently for a guy in Houst'n to send a phone video of a drive in the prospective car, so we can get this done. Nineteen year old "LOL" car, as our Nodak reminded me of the phrase, haha. A Little Old Lady vehicle, rarely driven, looks impeccable, with impeccable records, very low price. Is it a miracle, people??? IT COULD BE THE MIRACLE CAR, don't laugh!
You know I got those, man. The VIN is good, NHTSA checked, the Experian AutoCheck is very detailed and positive. I looked up history of recalls and common problems, compared with the records. Next I'll buy the Carfax report though it might not be different than the AutoCheck but worth it to verify.
Any other suggestions? I was told by a certain rascal ex-mechanic to ask about warning ligjhts. as well.
If you press them hard enough, it's those pesky THOUGHTS of their opponents they're so rabid about controlling, and tricking them into confessing that can be entertaining.

President Donald Trump took to social media Tuesday to champion the ongoing construction of his White House ballroom project, but buried in his comments was an offhanded remark suggesting the president was implementing a permanent change to all future presidential inaugurations.
“Two views of the Great Ballroom being built on the site of our wonderful White House – It is on budget, and ahead of schedule!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, alongside two renderings of the completed ballroom.
“When completed, it will be the finest Ballroom ever built anywhere in the World, one that has been sought by Presidents for over 150 years – and now they are getting THE BEST! Because of its unprecedented structural, safety, and security features, it will also be used for future Presidential Inaugurations.”
Trump’s final remark – that all future presidential inaugurations would be held in the ballroom – suggests Trump is seeking to permanently change the location of presidential inaugurations, which, since 1981, have been held at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol facing the National Mall.
I just saw a story saying the whole East Wing project has already ground to a halt and the money has vanished. With a Judge getting pissed at the Government about how much of a clusterfuck it all is.
Which seems highly plausible, but it was on social media so I don't trust it
Great if it is true. The Democrats should just announce that nobody should be wasting money donating to the ballroom project because on January 21st it is going to be demolished and restoration of the East Wing will begin. Same for the arch. Although I suppose that might not work given that the donations aren't really for the project but just to bribe Trump.
In direct contravention of a *bipartisan Congressional resolution* to stop propping up monuments to Confederate treason, I might add
I'm sure it ran under the radar bc they were busy shooting fishing boats out of the water & pretending they were drug boats & that drug runners didn't "deserve due process" except for the CEO of Silk Road, whom I'm sure got a pardon bc he's also a reputed champion-level money launderer, at the same time
I wish people followed your suggestions more often, Richard - literal and figurative
I think sometimes pro-democracy people hesitate to use their power when they have it because they confuse tactics and strategy with lack of empathy ... because they see fascists use tactics & strategy so often *in service to* lack of empathy w/o going a step further & reasoning that the two don't always have to be used that way
(That, of course, is the *more* charitable interpretation I can cough up WRT such hesitation. I can certainly think of others, but I don't want to spend any time in that valley I don't have to, at least not today)

Oil change info, how old are the tires, (ask for closeups and look for weather checking )
belts.
battery
And normal mileage for it's age would be over 4 x what it has, LOL.
Now I want to find out what newer airbags would go for and replacement requirements. The #1 reason I prefer this make is all those airbags.
🏆
All in the records, a LOT of routine maintenance on time, photo of tires look good. If all i get are some dodgy belts or battery I'll be ecstatic.
Husb wants to fly down for it to drive it back so he will be sure it's good.
