I want to address #ShadyVance's (#JDVance) Stolen Valor claims relating to Minnesota Governor #TimWalz.

Walz, a dedicated artilleryman for over 20 years, faced significant hearing loss that was classified as a 4 on the PULHES scale—a system used to assess the medical deployability of service members.

#StolenValour Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson slammed by veteran groups over false military history.

#StolenValor Thompson has refused to stand down, telling the ABC he is "disappointed" councillors have turned against him but "looking forward" to addressing the matter at next week's council meeting.

In a lengthy post on social media on Friday night, Cr Thompson said he would not resign, regardless of any motion by the city's councillors at the next council meeting.

Special Air Service Association chair Martin Hamilton-Smith said his organisation investigated Cr Thompson's service history and found his purported links to the #SAS did not stack up.

“When people make these things up, and they're not true, I think they're trying to hang on to the coat-tails of people who have joined the Australian Defence Force — or in this case, special forces — and been through the mill and proved themselves," Mr Hamilton-Smith said.

"They want to be thought of by people as better than they genuinely are.

"It's wrong, it should be called out and it has been called out.

"It's a shame it wasn't called out before voting day."

Mr Hamilton-Smith, a former SAS soldier and South Australian politician, said the behaviour was a disappointing example of leadership and gave people a reason to be cynical about politics.

"I'm not sure how Mayor Thompson is going to be able to look people in Townsville in the eye — pretty solid community up there, they call a spade a spade — and be taken credibly going forward," he said.

ABC News · Townsville Mayor Troy Thompson slammed by veteran groups over false military historyBy Lily Nothling

I met this woman earlier this year on #Mastodon. She love bombed me and then proceeded to ask for money. Her name is Amber Manuella Achilles. She claims to be from Greece, is a flight attendant, and her parents were allegedly killed.
She has an account on VERO.co. She stole one of my photos and is passing it off as hers. This makes me incredibly angry.

I’ve enclosed the three photos, the first one shows my EXIF data that proves the photo is mine. The second photo is from her VERO profile and the third is the photo she must have scraped. The dates also show my photo is oldest.

If you can, please report her.
