Luna says lawmakers have evidence of ‘interdimensional beings’

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) said during a Wednesday podcast episode with Joe Rogan that lawmakers have seen evidence of “interdimensional beings.” “I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have,” Luna said during the podcast. “And that’s not something...

""There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone. In the continuing session of Congress you come to meet those that have entered the Twilight Zone."

Chances are this is because there's some way that the no tax on tips rule can be circumvented to the govts benefit.

“RHONY” star and former Kennedy in-law Carole Radziwill says RFK Jr. always had a 'weird thing about roadkill'

"His minivan always smelled of death."

www.yahoo.com

But the RFK Jr. controversy train doesn't just stop at stations of science and policy. Last August, he admitted to dumping the body of a dead bear cub in Central Park. Kennedy said he initially picked it up intending to skin it, but ran out of time due to a prior falconry engagement. So he used an old bike in his car to stage the animal corpse as though it had collided with a cyclist and died.

That same month, internet sleuths uncovered a 2012 interview with Kennedy's daughter Kick, who claimed he once beheaded a whale that had washed ashore at the Hyannis Port, Mass. Kennedy compound and tied it to the roof of the aforementioned minivan with bungee cords.

I'd tell you to drive more carefully, but these things are nothing but cash traps.

BTW, my intense dislike for these things is not from personal experience. It comes from a deep mistrust of govt's motives when they have the opportunity to abuse law enforcement powers to generate revenue. As of now, I've never received a camera ticket.

I have a 6-speed. Hate to come to a full stop. So it's neutral - tap the brakes - take a look - & go to third/fourth gear.

Maybe I should stay out of Commack

My mother got a similar ticket. A quick, stab the brakes and go, turn. We went to court and gee, surprise,... you can't win. It's a racket. It's my understanding that R on Rs are the primary revenue generator from the cameras. So much for safety.

BTW, about a month after that encounter I did the exact same hard stop - go at a right on red right in front of a Nassau police car. No flashing lights, no finger wagging. Nothing. Because I hadn't done anything wrong. But the court with fifty bucks in its hand wouldn't let my 70 YO mother do the same thing.

RACKET!

Interesting too, that since all the fees and court charges that were tacked on were declared illegal I'll bet Nassau will be rethinking their camera program.

Tick Tock.

So, you're one of THOSE people.

It's not necessary, and it's a waste of time. Unless it's a No Turn On Red, just stop at the line, be sure you've clearly stopped (count to three if you must) and make a right when your way is clear. I do it routinely and as I said, have never gotten a ticket. The people who get bit are the ones who don't actually stop, which ones sees all the time even when there's no cameras.

I was stuck behind a van once who refused to make the turn. Usually I assume it's because they got a ticket in the past and are gun-shy. After the light changes I'm driving behind him and I can see why he got a ticket. Slow rolled every stop sign, no directionals, late through a non-camera red light. He was such a sloppy driver he deserved that ticket and probably a few others.
