Most of us are being inundated by spam texts, particularly political, and email. As for the texts, do not click on any links, nor click "unsubscribe" because that's a data milling exercise and potentially malicious. Simply block the number. The same is true with email spam. Tag the email as "junk" and/or block the sender through your email program.

Well, a bunch of us federal employees had our stuff stolen a few years back. OPM gave us permanent ID protection so it's all good. Right?

Benjamin isn’t a bot. He’s a real person with many snarky comments.

Probably part of that US Army section that scours social media looking for mean comments about fat generals.

Here is the link...sounds like the Babylon Bee...however, it is true.

Where do those reports go? Because those spams never get taken down.

It goes to the writer of the Substack - meaning Jeff - and I think it is up to him to remove it.

He is probably too busy to keep on top of it. I am always amazed that he finds time to write between his law practice and family. He is superman in my eyes! 👍
