Stract is an open source search engine where the user has the ability to see exactly what is going on and customize almost everything about their search results. It's a search engine made for hackers and tinkerers just like ourselves. No more searches where some of the terms in the query arent used, and the engine tries to guess what you really meant. You get what you search for.

Dude is so pathetic with his cloth worship. Unfortunately, many Americans are brainwashed into the cult of statism. They don't see that the flag IS just a piece of fabric despite what feelings or associations they have for it. Its not sacred.

The flag, the anthem and all the other state symbols and rituals are not sacred. They are part of the cult symbolism.

'It is rare for a grand jury to reject a request for an indictment, given that the legal standard is lower than to secure a conviction at trial, and prosecutors alone control the presentation of evidence.'

Trump Says Some Americans Would Like a Dictator

“They say: ‘We don’t need him. Freedom, freedom, he’s a dictator, he’s a dictator. A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we like a dictator.’”
