Only one chance in this lifetime… Like watching sunset at the beach from the most foreign seat in the cosmos, I couldn’t resist a cell phone video of Earthset. You can hear the shutter on the Nikon as @Astro_Christina is hammering away on 3-shot brackets and capturing those exceptional Earthset photos through the 400mm lens. @AstroVicGlover was in window 3 watching with @Astro_Jeremy next to him. I could barely see the Moon through the docking hatch window but the iPhone was the perfect size to catch the view…this is uncropped, uncut with 8x zoom which is quite comparable to the view of the human eye. Enjoy.

@FoDiscoveryPark Another DP view…

A rare waterspout was seen this week from the West Point Lighthouse at Discovery Park! 👀 emeraldcityweather.com/waterspout-sig…

Ask WA political reporters who spends the most on state politics. They'll say Amazon. Microsoft. Maybe BP. Wrong. For a decade the #1 political contributor in Washington has been a home care workers' union. And it isn't close. /1

@PugetStormWatch Was that video from Discovery Park?

The best angle I’ve seen of Wednesday’s waterspout in the Puget Sound. Credit to Sarah Bee on Facebook. First seen on the r/Seattle subreddit! #wawx #seattle #waterspout

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry. The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine. The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true. The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either. The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought. The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to. The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer. Now it is today. Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus. He is confident. He has always been confident. The confidence has never been the problem. The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

🚨 NOW: Rep. Tim Burchett sounds the alarm that Senate GOP leadership might be PURPOSEFULLY SLOW-WALKING the SAVE America Act — waiting to pass it, or vote on it, when it can't be implemented in time "Something like 80% approval. And yet you can't even get it to a vote in the Senate. I just don't buy it, folks." "I've got a sneaking suspicion that they'll probably attempt to pass it or pass it so late in the dadgum game that it can't get implemented." "And then they can go home and say, oh look, we passed it and everybody will be celebrating patting them on the back." "Then it just cannot get implemented at the state and local level in time for it to have any effect in these elections." "And ultimately, I think that's what you've got. And I'm afraid in the Senate leadership, they have such a hatred of Trump and the conservative movement." "They want things to go back to the status quo, which is them being called from the golf course by the Democrats when it's time to make a vote!" "LET'S KEEP FIGHTING." 🔥

It only takes 5 Senators to have John Thune REMOVED as Leader.

God bless America!

As @shellenberger and other Democrats have stated, continuing this is the end of the USA...

Maher: “The president had the constitutional authority to direct the use of military force because he could reasonably determine that such use of force was in the national interest.” Schiff: “Totally vague.” Maher: “That’s from Obama about Libya.”

The only holdbacks on our clean energy prosperity are idiot politicians in both parties. Oh, and Viva Libre Alberta!

European nations after America does all the work:

Last night I was assured that we are in a global energy crisis from which the world will never recover.

Classic! Arriving at the scene of a four alarm fire with a garden hose after the fire department has already put out the flames.

🚨🚨HUNGARIAN CHESS THAT MAKES BRUSSELS CRY🤣😂🤣 🇭🇺 Viktor Orbán places his trusted “traitor” and the EU falls into the perfect trap: the checkmate that has left Brussels, Soros, and Obama humiliated. In a display of political chess so brilliant it borders on the comical, Viktor Orbán sniffed out long ago that the European Union, George Soros, Obama, and the whole globalist club were gunning for him. With no worthwhile left-wing opposition left in Hungary (none of them cracked the laughable 5% electoral threshold), the Hungarian prime minister decided to solve the problem his own way: he took his top ally and right-hand man, Péter Magyar, and sent him out front as a deluxe “opponent.” The plan was as simple as it was genius: Magyar, who until 2024 was a key piece of the Orbán government, dramatically jumped ship, played the dissident, eagerly accepted funds from the very Eurocrats who despise Orbán, and positioned himself as the great hope for “change.” The European left and their patrons fell into the trap like flies into honey. “At last!” they shouted in Brussels, as they cracked open the checkbook. No one understood a thing, of course, because hardly anyone speaks Hungarian and the headlines in Western media were too flattering to question. The result? Magyar won. And the moment he set foot in power, the “traitor” revealed his true face. He declared that the border “isn’t strong enough,” rejected 90% of Ursula von der Leyen’s demands, prioritized the rights of ethnic Hungarians, and in practice, stuck to the same sovereigntist line that so irritates the EU. The European Union, Soros, Obama, and company bit the bait, shelled out the cash, and now stare in stunned disbelief as the “change” they celebrated so much is exactly the same old Orbán—just with a different name. Masterstroke. 5D chess at its finest. And the best part: all of it legal, all of it clean, and all of it right under their noses.
