Biography

I'm a retired IT/desktop support guy from Texas. I moved to Minnesota in 2021 and I live here with my two cats, Creme Puff and Skittles. I am a staunch liberal who now supports the 2nd Amendment because of the executions of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in cold blood in the streets of Minneapolis. I no longer feel safe in my own country because of the authoritarian in the White House. I am pretty outnumbered here in the United States but I am hoping that this country gets back on track and the next President can repair the damage caused by the Trump regime.

On February 22, 2026, Fred Lloyd saw exactly what is in THIS profile and censored my biography on QRZ.com. Here's what his employee sent me in an email:

"We have removed a portion of your QRZ biography page after receiving
complaints from other users. While we can appreciate your position on
self defense and the second amendment, we really don't want to be
hosting anything that can be interpreted as threatening political gun
violence. Further incidents of this nature may result in the closure of
your account. Thank you for using QRZ.

Anyone who has ever spoken to an American ham should know that 95% of these ham operators are hard core Trump supporters. There are plenty of biographies with "God, gays and guns" in them. There are plenty of biographies on QRZ.com that are very questionable, yet they do not get censored. If you happen to be a leftist like I am, we are under different rules. After I was censored, I told KG7MAK and AA7BQ to go "f yourself" and well, we know that I burned that bridge. I told them to completely remove me (AG5J) from QRZ.com and they did. That is why you will not find me on QRZ.com
