Here is another instance where migrants are being dropped off, shipped in, flown in whatever you want to bust in to small neighborhoods. I told you this was going to happen.

Montana father camping near Big Sky found dead in tent after vicious attack and is not by a bear either. They are saying he was all alone. This, this is the reason. Remember, a long time ago, I wanted to like get an rv, sell the house, live in an rv, just travel the nation. I knew that was not going to happen. Now I definitely don't want to do that after, after all this immigration and all the illegals that are here and it's not just them, there's, the americans are doing it too. We have lost our ever-loving minds. We have become like the wild wild west. No, it's worse than that. At least the Wild Wild West had some kind of order to it. But the Batman is just terrible.

Speaker 1: 3:22

A father was discovered hacked to death in his tent Saturday morning After he failed to meet up with a buddy for a weekend of camping. Dustin Mitchell somebody I can't pronounce his last name 35, suffered multiple chop wounds, including to his skull, on a makeshift campground in a remote area near big sky. People have asked me if there's a threat to this community and the answer is we don't know. We don't have enough information to know at this time. They're saying it's not a bear attack. There's no evidence of any kind of animal around. There's no bear. It's not a bear attack and I guess the way the wounds are, uh were on this guy. It's definitely done by with an instrument. So be careful out there. Oh, that's why I don't ever want to go anywhere or do anything, because people have lost their ever-loving minds. It's chaotic out there.

Speaker 1: 4:24

Alright, the next topic. I found this interesting. I haven't read the whole thing, I just actually read the headlines. A woman who is 63 years old with alopecia is humiliated after reportedly being asked to leave pub over her face tattoos. Shock to my character. Now she doesn't have tattoos on her face, it's actually on the upper forehead, like where hair would be. I think she got, um, like a whole head tattoo. I've seen women with alopecia do this. They get tattoos all that cover their whole head, but it just comes down barely, uh, to her forehead. Um, it doesn't look horrible at all. She does have some neck tattoos, uh, and she's wearing like a braided wig. It looks like I'm not sure if it's a wig or not. A 63-year-old woman has revealed why she was asked to leave a popular waterside venue, saying she felt humiliated by the experience. All right, let's see. I'm sorry I lost my place. I had to pause it for a second. Let's go back to the story. All right, for a second. Let's go back to the story, all right.

Carrie Ashby was at the Collie Hotel in South Australia with a friend on Sunday. When a manager walked up to her and her friend and asked them to leave, the staff were looking at us. I am used to people looking at me and it doesn't bother me. Ms Ashby told the news, but when I asked for the menu, security was standing behind me and the manager said I was being refused entry because the owners have a policy against facial tattoos. Ms Ashby has a mandala tattoo along her hairline and a sea creature design on her neck Something she had gotten on her neck, something she had gotten on her 60th birthday due to the fact she has alopecia. I've seen women do this. I've seen women tattoo the tops of their heads, just slightly down on the top of their forehead. I've seen this done. She was surprised, thinking that she was going to be told the kitchen was closed after seeing no one in the dining room. It was something that confused her, as she had been to the venue since the new owners had taken over and had no issue. They have pictures of her on here too, if you would like to go see the picture of her.

Speaker 1: 6:54

I was gobsmacked. I wasn't angry. I felt a bit humiliated. It was so unwarranted and unjustified. It's not a reasonable cause. I dress well, I'm not troublesome, I am always respectful and I'm well known in this area. I was just really shocked.

Speaker 1: 7:13

Policy to enforce, asking what about people with tattooed eyebrows, eyeliners and lip liner? And where? Where do they draw the line? The pubs website does state that its dress code is clean, tidy and respectful, so who's gonna judge that? Who's gonna be the gatekeeper of that? Please note that person with facial tattoos are not permitted to enter the venue. I wonder why. Why did they specifically say facial tattoos? Is it okay to enter if you have a tattoo on your arm? Uh, I mean, maybe they have a gang problem there? I'm not sure. I don't know. I I don't know why I liken facial tattoos to to gangs, but I don't know.

Speaker 1: 8:01

You can go finish reading that story. She looks like a lovely lady. I don't know why they refused her. I guess because of their policy. All right, we're going to end with a good story. I'm not going to read it all because I'm running late. I know, I know it's not your fault, it's my fault.

Speaker 1: 8:16

Forgotten Civil War veteran and will finally get proper tombstone thanks to two New York middle school students. See, there are good things that come out of New York. A forgotten Civil War veteran who died without proper burial is finally receiving recognition thanks to two eighth grade students in new york. Uh, it goes on to say this uh, obviously you can go finish reading that if you'd like. I know, I know, I just feel like I'm just reading straight from the article here. Uh, but there's a lot to it.

Speaker 1: 8:51

Uh, they talk about the two girls, and this guy named walter house, who was born in orleans county new york in 1823, died at orleans county alms house at around 87 years old. This alms house is where people go that can't afford, uh, I guess to take have to be taken care of by a different facility or they don't have family members to help them anymore. Tim Archer, a retired service learning teacher at Albion Middle School, told Fox News Digital that the former junior soldier spent around a decade of his life at the poorhouse. He had been injured during the war and spent time in a Confederate prison camp. Oh, I didn't know. They had prison camps back then. The Almshouse was a place where people that didn't have anybody to care for them came. The teacher explained anyone from people with mental, physical disabilities, babies that were unwanted up to the elderly, immigrants that didn't have family in the area and blind people. Orleans county almshouse was in the operation from 1830s to 1960. According to archer. In 1910 walter house was buried in an unmarked grave in a section of the poor house cemetery for people who couldn't afford the headstone. So apparently this teacher's school got a hold of this. These two girls took on the project to get him a proper burial headstone. I don't know if they moved him or they kept him there. Anyway, they even took the summer to do it. They took their summer vacation to continue on with the project.

Speaker 1: 10:32

Good news, all right, I guess I need to find a question of the day. All right, do you have your heat on yet in your house? Is it cold enough to put your heat on? We, I don't think we've turned ours on just yet, and it's also the time of the year here in Alabama where I drive to work with the heat on my feet but with my windows rolled down, because if I keep the windows up, it gets too hot, but then my feet will get cold. Oh well, whatever, that's too much information. All right, I gotta go. Thanks for listening. I promise I'll do better next time. I'll get up earlier next tomorrow and do a better job. Thanks Bye.
