Meet Rod Thompson
Rod Thompson was born in Athens, GA. As a child of the 1980s, Rod spent his formidable teen years watching his parents fight to keep their heads above the poverty level, in the aftermath of divorce and economic downfall. Learning the importance of self-improvement and personal motivation, in 1999, Rod enlisted in the United States Navy, serving for almost twenty-three years on Active Duty, to include ten combatant deployments around the globe, for a combined total of more than six years abroad in defense of the United States.
In 2003, Rod was onboard USS Constellation where he felt the roar of jets launching in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, beginning the war in Iraq. Rod was later deployed in Talil, Iraq in 2006, where he conducted surveillance, intelligence gathering and troop support operations, playing a vital role in US troops pushing back the rising insurgency.

It excites me to see such a myriad of candidates stepping up to represent their neighbors in this year’s local elections!
With stagnant politicians either stepping down or being exposed for their misdeeds, we have a very real chance of regaining common sense control over the city of ...Suffolk.
That means we have an actual chance to right so many wrongs that have occurred over the last few decades, and give the people of Suffolk hope for the future again.
I’d love to see a debate between DJT and RFK Jr at the Libertarian Convention!
I’ll double down and say that I think there should ALWAYS be a third party candidate in the final debates.
Gatekeeping only hinders the decision-making process of the American people, and gives the... perception that two people are the only options we have.
Even as a conservative, I will argue that the two-party system is actually detrimental to Constitutional liberty, hamstringing the American voter into often voting for nothing more than the best of two candidates that at not be the best choice for our country. Our electoral process has devolved from the meritocracy of choosing the best person for the job, into a bi-polar team sport of red vs blue.
The American people deserve better.
The internet’s greatest weakness is that we have given a megaphone to those with the absolute weakest mental and emotional foundations. Then they team up with other frail people to amplify their voice, and soon, those of us who believe in stoicism, hard work, and prosperity through effort find ...ourselves drowned out by those who can’t even function as adults.
Nowadays, the fools of the first world band together to uplift our opposition, not realizing that those they support would slit their throats at first sight.
They go to Disneyland and take offense to rides built around the thematics of timeless children’s stories.
Like dying plants, they wilt effortlessly, crying out for big government to save them.
And they put it all on the internet for other weaklings to feed upon.
This country needs a mindset shift.
The People need to be awakened, motivated, empowered, and shown that their lives can be greater than they’d ever imagined, if they’d only close their mouths, open their eyes, and tune their ears to receive the truth about living in the United States.
America is still the land of prosperity. We are still the home of the American Dream!
While they protest like fools, sleeping in tents paid for by bad actors, we must control the conversation.
Being lazy is a choice. Being a slug is a choice. And equally, being a success is a choice.
THAT is what we need to broadcast via the internet to counteract and push back against the frail in mind and spirit.
Choose politicians who recognize that America is better than every other country. Choose candidates who own the responsibility of stewardship for this great nation and its people.
If we change our rhetoric, and promote elected servants who want to see America thrive - we dominate. Stay the course, and the anti-American fools continue to run the asylum.
Congratulations Congresswoman Jen Kiggans!
THIS is the secret to winning elections!
I just completed my Absentee Ballot for the Republican Senate Primary, and it feels great to know that my vote is counted, secured, and protected from fraud.
I took it out of the mailbox, and less than five minutes later, it’s right ...back in there.
It’s either absolute lunacy or willful ignorance to look at the numbers and bury our heads in the sand any longer! Absentee Ballot are to blame for multiple Republican losses across the commonwealth, and not because the Democrats are cheating, but because they are simply playing the game better than us.
We must do all that we can to find those low propensity voters and get one of these in their hands!
Signup is quick, easy, and strategically powerful!

The middle ground isn’t “non-partisan,” or even the home of the moderate.
The middle ground is where The People come first. Where legislators, no matter their political ideology, can say, “Man, the people of my area could really use x, y, or z,” and they compromise across the ...aisle to make that happen!
The absolute worst times in American History came from two opposing viewpoints thinking that they were always right, and it’s even worse now because those with opposing viewpoints are seen as enemies instead of countrymen. And the issues are no longer “kitchen table” to make for a more prosperous America, but instead favor outright lunacy.
What’s worse, is that these political ideologues are damning the American people out of their own stubbornness to meet halfway, and with every double-down, this country fractures all the more.
A lot of people need to go sit on the porch swing with someone’s mamaw, or sip latte’s with college kids, or have a beer with blue collar worker, and just listen to them talk. Not to reply or rebutt, but to simple hear what’s on the minds and hearts of real Americans.
They’ll find that our nation, this powerful, beautiful landscape of freedom, prosperity, and strength, isn’t nearly as broken as we’re forced to believe.
Common sense just needs to make a comeback, and that starts with putting the People first, the ideology second, and personal biases dead last.

This country can't tell me the only viable choices in 2024 are Trump and Biden???? its a damn shame out of millions of people to run we will be stuck with " the best worse choice"
Chase Oliver-Libertarian would be great
Agree
Something I’m definitely interested in attending!
It continues to baffle me when someone says it’s hard to vote. I live out in the country and have never had a problem voting! I guess if you keep saying it then it seems true. Democrats are quickly running out of campaign talking points
I support this.

The progressive left is single handily destroying this country! Full stop! 🛑
Know many Suffolk folks who follow their local politics very well?
Hmmm...some components of lemonade here. Reading sites like Occ Democrats, many of us have seen the deep animosity toward anyone outside their circle. There are dozens of other opportunities to read of the vast ignorance and impracticality of leftist messages. What has really happened on campuses is available to view. Many of us learned we are in a basket of deplorables, clinging to our guns and bibles. It's doubled edged and can cut both ways. More than a couple of my former "friends" outed themselves as idiots over covid, George Floyd, men pretending as women, etc. Idiocy I can stand for a bit, but advocating for tyranny by fools or pronouncing insulting ultimatums..."bye Felicia".

Yep absentee, mail-in ballots and early voting is the key. Game day voting in no match for this. We push game day voting and our opponents are banking legal votes for 45 plus days. It's no mystery that at 8 p.m. our numbers go down because they start county those legally banked votes!
Good
