FACT!
Hit Me Baby (One More Time)' is actually a mistranslation from a Swedish song writer.
The Swedish writer Max Martin and Swedish-Moroccan songwriter Rami Yacoub thought that "hit me" was American slang for "call me." He forgot to add "up."
Phrasal verbs, they'll get ya!

🚕 The 'motor vehicle' ruse

The term 'motor vehicle'1 basically means taxi or cargo truck. With that definition in mind, does thou have a 'motor vehicle'? I didn't think so. We have a right to travel.
  • US Code showing that motor vehicle is carriage used for commercial purposes.
  • United States Code says ‘motor vehicle’ means a taxi or cargo truck. A commercial activity.
  • Motor Vehicle scam more complex on state level
  • Virginia DMV is a federal entity
  • What is a traffic stop? Traffic means trading in legalese. They pretend traveling is commerce.

U.S. Citizen means a citizen of the federal government, in contradistinction to state citizens of the 50 state governments. So they teach state citizens in public schools to call themselves U.S. Citizens.

One for @grayruby, In 1983, Trump bought the New Jersey Generals of the United States Football League (USFL), hoping to make it a significant competitor to the NFL. Although the USFL folded in 1986 after a failed antitrust lawsuit against the NFL.

The Cube of Metatron contains 13 interconnected spheres and 78 lines, and remarkably, it encompasses the five Platonic solids, the Merkabah (star tetrahedron), and the golden ratio - all represented in a single geometric figure. This makes Metatron's Cube an extraordinary symbol in sacred geometry, representing a concentrated microcosm of universal structure and mathematical harmony. The complexity of having multiple profound geometric elements within one symbol is truly mind-blowing!
