⬇️Historic Serpent Mound - Ohio
In the rolling hills of Adams County, Ohio, a 1,348-foot earthen serpent coils across a plateau above Brush Creek—the largest surviving effigy mound in the world💫
And it sits within an ancient meteor crater! ☄️
Incredible ancient history that has survived more than our minds can ever comprehend. 🐍
Built by the ancestors of today’s Native people, it holds no burials of its own - although it remains a stunning feat of architecture from ancient people that once roamed and lived on the rolling hills of Ohio and beyond!
The serpent's open jaws cradle an oval form while the body aligns directly with the summer solstice sunset 🌇!! Amazing!
Additionally, the coils of the serpent track equinox sunrises and lunar standstills, turning the earth into a living celestial calendar that withstands time.
The true intent of the serpent mound, which is estimated to have taken hundreds of years (at least) to create, is speculative but the sacred energy of the site is clear.
One can imagine the gathering of ancient people to celebrate the cycles of sun, moon, and the underworld.
Imagine the gatherings that took place. Feel the energy that they generated and has withstood thousands of years. This energy was fostered and respected by the ancient people. Did they know things we have long since forgotten?
The native people were thought to live in seclusion - not gathering in villages or traveling extensively with grafe being only out of necessity. If true, how are numerous nearby burial mounds erected within vast, multi acreage arenas - built to very similar geometric shape combinations and sizes? And what do the shapes and sizes represent?
In addition to the mounds, there are intact artifacts built within the mounds and the effigy that are from vast distances including current day New Mexico.
Were these obtained through trading or did these ancient people travel the vast distances through unknown and thought to be hostile territory?
My opinion is that the modern day "we" are so invested in "history" as we "know it" that we are failing to truly appreciate the sophistication of ancient people.
Somewhere along the way historians decided that certain "known" things were "facts". As a result we have stopped digging with curiosity and open minds. We need to ask questions and think outside of the box we've been placed in.
History should be studied, remembered, protected so that we can learn from it. But the curiosity and openness to new ideas must remain and fostered even.
Controversial statement: We are not all knowing and we do not have everything right. There are truly astonishing histories to be learned.
Standing at the Serpent Mound last week, the intention felt clear to my limited knowledge: this was a sacred calendar and a living prayer to the serpent—a form beleived to be the guardian of the underworld, death, and rebirth.
The location felt peaceful. Like coming home.
The reason behind the location seems clear - an ancient meteor strike and not far from the river. But why the size? The shape? And the sheer effort over hundreds of years to erect this effigy, place valuable artificats within, restore and protect this effigy over the years so that it has clearly withstood modern man?
We likely will never know for sure.
The remaining energy at the Serpent Mound - as well as the nearby ancient burial mound sites - is incredibly powerful.
Respect the sacred land, honor the energy, breath in history - visit this site.
And for those willing and able to see or feel what these sites have left us beyond the physical - take the time. You won't be disappointed.

🚨 LMAO! Greta Thunberg BURSTS OUT LAUGHING after learning people STILL attend the climate protests she started!
“Really? They still do that?!” 🤣
Now she’s focused on Palestine.

Did you see this? Five cities, Newark, Paterson, Elizabeth, Trenton and Jersey City, are getting $3.19 billion of New Jersey's record $12.4 billion in K-12 school aid this year. That's about a quarter of every aid dollar, and they're up $675 million since FY2023. All that money, and where's the relief on our property tax bills?

Please listen to the voicemail left for Alaina Kunes’ father.
In it, the caller threatens the life of his daughter simply because she made some “monkey noises.”
The person responsible should face charges. This behavior is not okay.

A 24-year-old brat tells Caleb Hammer the rich should be taxed “to the max.”
He asks her what that means.
And when she answers, he can’t believe this person votes.
HAMMER: “You’ve never lived in the real world.”
GRACE: “I haven’t. I can admit that. But like, what if there was a world that we lived in and everybody had money and everybody was able to live comfortably?”
HAMMER: “That’s not the world we live in.”
GRACE: “Reality sucks. Capitalism is bad. I don’t like it.”
HAMMER: “Yeah, really easy for someone to say that grew up in a really nice house in one of the best school districts in Texas.”
“Who has the rent f*cking paid for. That is able to go to Europe on a whim with their sister.”
“You never got to actually see what happens when you put in the work and get benefits and actually have a little bit of responsibility and actually f*cking build something or do anything.”
GRACE: “But the people who you should be going after are the people in the top something percent that like hoard all the world’s wealth. Like go after those people. Those people need to be taxed to the f*cking max.”
HAMMER: “What does that even look like to you? You probably don’t even know what that looks like. What does that look like? How do you tax someone to the max?”
GRACE: “I’m not sure.”
HAMMER: “Oh! Interesting. This person’s voting.”
GRACE: “Yes, I am. And I already know who I’m voting for.”
HAMMER: “And you literally can’t describe a tax.”
What’s scary is her vote counts the same as yours.
CONTEXT: The top 1% of earners already pay 38.4% of all federal income taxes, according to the latest IRS data (tax year 2023). That’s $823,000,000,000.
The bottom half of taxpayers pay just 3.3%.

This is one of the most insane videos I’ve heard in a while.
This is the attorney representing Jeanetta and Ashley Brantley. The video she created less than 24 hours ago is absolutely shocking.
First of all, she continues to disparage me and claim that I somehow participated in targeting these women. I did not. I wrote a couple of factual articles and reports. That is called journalism.
These women, even after being presented with evidence that Nolan Wells was seen on the island AFTER the Sea Tow call they manipulated and enhanced, have continued to double down and insist that their version of the audio is factual. And that audio continues to target and implicate young men in the Nolan Wells case who have not been charged with a crime.
This attorney, yes, an ACTUAL ATTORNEY, states that the audio is real and then begins creating her own narrative about what happened to Nolan. She goes so far as to imply that Nolan was murdered and that his BODY was somehow covered up using LIFE JACKETS!
She also claims that, because of my reporting, these women were receiving dozens of death threats. Yet the only alleged threat she references is connected to the doctored and fake screenshots that were submitted to the court without proper authentication!
I have actually offered this woman a copy of my own metadata. We brought it to court with us. Furthermore, in a prior video that she has since deleted, she herself acknowledged that the screenshots were fake!
Yet she continues to reference these screenshots as examples of alleged threats made by me toward these women.
And then there is something else I find almost comical.
She continues to tell people that Jeanetta Brantley has a degree in AUDIO ENGINEERING.
Wrong.
According to Jeanetta Brantley’s own publicly stated educational background, she received a bachelor’s degree in MUSIC PRODUCTION from Full Sail University, where she also earned a master’s degree in ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS.
Those are NOT degrees in forensic audio examination OR audio engineering. A degree in music production is not the same thing as a degree specifically titled audio engineering.
Yet Jeanetta went on the witness stand, LIED, and said she had a degree in audio engineering. 
Why?
Why does her educational background suddenly need to be presented differently when her supposed expertise is being used to lend credibility to an audio recording that has been at the center of so much controversy? Do they think that by renaming what she has a degree in, it offers her more credibility? 
There is a difference between having an education in music production, having experience editing and enhancing audio, and being qualified to conduct forensic audio examinations in criminal investigations.
And to be clear, I am not questioning whether Jeanetta has experience working with audio. I am questioning why her educational credentials are being represented differently and what specialized forensic qualifications she actually possesses. She possesses NONE.
These women and their attorney continue to portray my factual reporting as some sort of coordinated campaign against them, while simultaneously continuing to promote an audio narrative that implicates young men who did NOTHING wrong.
And despite the evidence that has emerged challenging their interpretation, they refuse to back down.
Journalism is not harassment. Reporting documented facts is not a threat. And disagreeing with someone’s version of events does not make you responsible for the actions of strangers on the internet.
I am not going to apologize for scrutinizing the credentials, evidence, and public statements of people who have inserted themselves into a case involving the tragic death of a young man. You wanted this attention, you got it. You blame me for your reputation being ruined? No. Blame yourself. 
These continued statements and representations are going to come back to haunt them, particularly as the civil litigation proceeds.

four Black boys lured a white boy to an abandoned house and fatally injured him and left him for dead a few days ago. the white boy called his mom but didn’t know where he was so he wasn’t found until he was dead.
that was just a small local story, though.
the big news is two white college girls made rude noises in a hallway. that got extensive national news coverage bc it dramatically demonstrates the dark truth of our white supremacist society and how dangerous it is for Black people.
#NEWS: Ole Miss freshman Alaina Kunes, 18, is no longer enrolled at the University of Mississippi following the viral doorbell camera footage showing students making monkey noises and gestures outside an apartment occupied by three Black students.
The university confirmed her departure but has not clarified whether she voluntarily withdrew or was dismissed.
Kunes has since issued a public apology, describing her actions as “insensitive, inappropriate, and deeply harmful.” She also said she intends to cooperate with the university’s investigation.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Justice for Austin Payne:
A few days ago, Austin Payne, a 15-year-old White boy in Georgia, was hunted, shot, and left to die in an abandoned apartment by four black teen males. He called his mom after being attacked and shot, telling her he was dying. She found his body the next morning after searching all night for him.
Charged with his murder: Jansquincey Donaldson, 15; Omari Marion, 15; Adarious Wallace, 16; Detravion Parker, 22. National media has been completely silent. If four White teens had done this to a Black kid, it would dominate cable news for days. Instead, silence.
They covered the Nolan Wells case wall-to-wall for a drowning. Yet this kid was hunted like an animal and brutally murdered, and because his skin is White, his story will never be told.
Support Austins Family:

Instead of listening to the grassroots, our Republican Senate defied us for 2 years

The REAL story finally came out. And THIS is exactly why I waited before jumping on the outrage bandwagon.
Not only had these individuals pulled the same stupid prank in front of FOUR other Ring cameras before reaching this apartment, but BOTH sides have now acknowledged that they didn’t even know each other. The pranksters didn’t even know the race of the people living inside the apartment.
Now these individuals are being threatened, doxxed, and dragged across the internet. One even left the university.
Was the prank stupid? Absolutely. Does that justify what is happening to them now? NOT EVEN CLOSE.
Imagine living in a world where making monkey noises into a Ring camera can potentially land you in more trouble than k*lling your own THREE CHILDREN.
Imagine living in a world where a woman pulled a stupid prank and is forced to step away from her education, but a MURDERER who admitted to k*lling a student at a track meet is not expelled and is allowed to graduate.
The world is backwards.

WOW!! This lifelong New Yorker and Mamdani voter almost brought me to tears. She said exactly what I’ve been warning about for years. By handing New York over to Democrats, voters are allowing the city they grew up in to be handed over to migrants, rapidly losing the character and identity that made it the greatest city in the world.
Her frustration lands hard because it isn’t just about NYC. The same pattern is playing out across the country.
“We’re under attack by our own Democratic Party, and I don’t know why. Midterms? You guys voted the way y’all did. As far as minorities, we are being fucking conquered. Neighborhoods here in NYC are being taken over by mass migration. Immigrants from all different parts of the world are coming in by the boatload.
You guys voted for failure. You guys voted for our kids not to have a future. You voted based on emotions because of your fake hatred of Trump. These people poisoned your minds when we had a president who was sitting in the seat and telling us the reality of what the fuck is happening to our great nation, one of the greatest places on Earth.
In the midterms, we had a chance to flip NYC red. We had a chance to save our city from fucking people who are coming here and gang-banging on American streets. Y’all aren’t even fucking gang members from here. Y’all are bringing that shit from other fucking third-world countries and making our streets dangerous.
Y’all wanna save immigrants? What about us Americans? What about our kids? What about our future? What about our fucking home?
I’m solely disgusted with people who did not wake up and educate themselves. Y’all watch so much social media, y’all watch so much of the demonic shit on TV, and listen to old-ass, stupid family members who are still taken in by the Democratic Party. They are not the same Democrats of yesterday.
These DSA members are running around with an agenda to push for Free Palestine. Y’all are mad about the war, but the Democrats just got approved for another $400 million to give to Ukraine. Trump is trying to protect America from being conquered, and yet y’all flip Texas blue, one of the states with a border that people cross to get into the US. You’re going to make it a sanctuary city. Why?
I voted for Democrats my whole entire life because I am a minority, and I always thought, “Blue, blue!” Until I got to this big, grown age and realized what I had done. I voted for the fucking Muslim mayor, not realizing that after 9/11, which I lived through here with my family, I was helping put a Muslim mayor in office to run our city.
That’s what woke me up. He blinded me with childcare and all this other stuff. We didn’t have childcare issues here in New York. We didn’t have any of these issues before he came in and campaigned on this shit. Then I had to wake up and realize, what the fuck did I help do?
That’s when I started doing research and reading up on it. Who the fuck is the DSA? Bitch, I don’t wanna be a bum for the rest of my life. I don’t wanna be on government assistance for the rest of my life. Yet we have people here saying, “Oh, yeah, Democrats!” What the fuck have they really done for us as a community?
We voted Democrats into NYC for years. What have they fucking done? Moved immigrants into our city, allowed immigrants to open up corner stores on every block in our communities, and gentrified our neighborhoods.
We have plans all over the city advocating for taking up all our parking spaces with bike lanes. They don’t even want us to fucking drive. Bitch, we work hard for these cars. We worked hard to get where we are.
As a native New Yorker, the midterms were our chance to save our city. What the fuck are we going to do for our kids tomorrow?
Every corner you go to, Muslims own all the smoke shops and delis. When you go into supermarkets, the Dominicans own those. When you get tickets, who’s giving them to you? Indians? Muslims? Wake the fuck up, New York!”

Please ask him how the American people can have any confidence in him or Senate Republicans when they squandered a Republican House, Senate, & White House.
Ask him about the hundreds of bills sitting on his desk that were sent from the Republican House.
Ask how if he feels at all responsible for the defeats of his colleagues in red states like Kansas.
Ask him how do we expect him to do anything in the minority when he failed to lead in the majority.
Ask him if he feels responsible for the Republican base not turning out because voters were so fed up with an entirely Republican gov’t that failed to pass legislation.
Ask him how he will respond when democrats change the rules & allow for legislation to pass out of the Senate with a simple majority.
Ask him how is it “conservative” to squander a Republican majority with aging Supreme Court Justices that no longer have the voters to confirm their successors.
Ask him why does he deserve to continue to serve in a leadership role when his lack of action in the majority directly impacted his catastrophic loss into the minority.
Ask him if he intends to take a vacation during the remaining time Republicans maintain the Senate majority.
Ask him if he will use every second over the next 2 months to work to pass legislation.
Ask him if he regrets not taking advantage of the talking filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act.
Ask him if he regrets not safeguarding our elections, especially since we have proof that non-citizens are voting in our elections.
Ask him why he deserves re-election in 2028.

11 years ago today, Amanda Grace Blackburn, 28, was home in Indianapolis.
Her 15 month old son was home with her.
She was pregnant.
3 men walked through her unlocked front door.
On the morning of Nov. 10, 2015.
Her husband, Pastor Davey Blackburn, had left for the gym around 6 a.m.
They only had one house key, so he left the door unlocked for her.
Larry Jo Taylor Jr., 18, Jalen Watson, 21, and Diano Gordon, 24, had already burglarized 2 homes that morning.
Watson and Gordon took her debit card to hit ATMs.
Taylor stayed behind and shot her 3 times, the last one in the back of the head.
Davey came home and found her.
She died the next day.
Their unborn daughter, Everett "Evie" Grace, died with her.
Baby Weston was unharmed.
The Perpetrators:
▪️ Larry Jo Taylor Jr. was convicted of murder after 2 mistrials and got 86 years.
He got 20 more years for an SA a week earlier, on Nov. 3, 2015. Earliest release: June 2, 2100.
▪️ Diano Gordon pleaded guilty to robbery and burglary, and the murder charge was dropped.
He got 30 years with 25 to serve. Earliest release: 2035.
▪️ Jalen Watson pleaded guilty to robbery and burglary, and the murder charge was dropped.
He testified against Taylor, and his sentence was cut to 10 years.
He walked out of prison March 22, 2023, supposedly with 5 years of home detention to follow.
I can't believe 1 of these animals is already out on the streets.
Amanda restored furniture through her business, Weathered Willow, and believed nothing is wasted.
Davey now runs a ministry by that name, Nothing Is Wasted.

The same people who demand you trust them with your life, your parents, and your kids while openly treating half the country like the enemy. And then they act shocked when nobody wants them anywhere near a patient.

UT Tyler Student Rips Down the American Flag and Beats TPUSA Kids with a Cane After Calling Them “Fascist Pieces of Shit” — I’m Done With This
A student at a Turning Point USA “Pick Up the Mic” event on the University of Texas at Tyler campus today tore down an American flag, screamed that the participants were “fascist pieces of s**t,”
then attacked a field rep and two students with a prop cane.
Campus police arrested them on the spot and took them to county jail. No injuries.
This isn’t protest. It’s a tantrum that turned into assault because someone couldn’t handle an open-mic event. TPUSA shows up to talk.
These people show up to destroy the flag and swing a cane.
When did talking it out and trying to have a balanced conversation about real life topics cause people to have a mental breakdown?

📣 SNUGGLES UPDATE!! -- & A MASTERCLASS IN LITIGATION
TODAY IS DAY 398.
FIRST a clarification of the TWO cases @ChristinaMaccio is fighting for Snuggles, and @JenniferEvn22 and WHO is involved.
➡️ ARIZONA STATE APPEAL:
Jennifer Evancho v. Tucson City Court
Contrary to other posts circulating out there, this case is with the Tucson City Attorney’s Office as the party in interest, (NOT PIMA COUNTY!!) and it challenges the dangerous-dog/destruction proceedings themselves.
UPDATE:
Snuggles’ state appeal is exactly where the action should be right now.
Christina filed the opening brief, and COT is due to respond by Nov 30.
Christina’s appellate brief skillfully attacks the underlying Tucson proceeding from multiple independent directions.
Once COT files their reply brief, typically, Christina/Jennifer will be able to file a response to their reply brief.
Updates will be coming as they occur.
➡️ FEDERAL CIVIL-RIGHTS CASE
Jennifer v. the City of Tucson, Pima County and individual officials/officers.
This case challenges separate constitutional conduct including Snuggles’ seizure, continued detention, due process, and related government actions.
UPDATE:
The judge made a ruling! And it is not what most people who read it would think.
The Federal Case is Alive and Protected.
📣 Five of Jennifer’s six federal claims have been stayed and are still alive.
THIS IS A MASSIVE WIN.
Despite both City of Tuscon and Pima County's best efforts to have Jennifer's case dismissed (thrown out) the judge did NOT dismiss the 5 main constitutional claims.
Instead, she "stayed" (paused) them. This means the claims remain pending and are stayed until the state proceedings conclude, and are actively hanging over the City and County's heads while they finish the state appeal.
Now, she won't have to start these efforts later and she avoided MONTHS of the ping-pong that just occurred!
Other rulings:
1. It was expected that the court would decline immediate federal intervention while the state proceedings continued and that the existing stay protected Snuggles. Not a surprise.
2. The judge dismissed the particular constitutional challenge to bond and boarding fees—not Jennifer’s damages claims generally. The damages components of the five principal counts remain preserved and the kennel and boarding fees can still be sought as damages if the unlawful-seizure claim succeeds. This was also not a surprise.
DEFEATING ROOKER-FELDMAN...TWICE!—AN EXTRAORDINARY FEDERAL BENCHMARK
One of COT & Pima's major arguments was Rooker-Feldman — essentially arguing that Jennifer was trying to use federal court to relitigate or overturn another court's decision/order or judgment.
Just two weeks earlier, in Major’s case in Texas, Christina obtained a federal ruling recognizing that an independent federal claim can survive even when a state destruction order already exists.
Rooker-Feldman has repeatedly been used to shut down federal challenges arising from state-court judgments, so having Christina defeat that jurisdictional barrier in BOTH Major’s Texas case and Snuggles’ Arizona case—within two weeks, in two different federal courts—is exceptionally significant.
And it just may have helped save Snuggles.
DAY 398. #SAVESNUGGLES
