145 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit sex crimes.
160 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens with DUIs.
186 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who commit welfare fraud.
190 Democrats voted against mandating deportation for illegal aliens who harm police animals.
Democrats have literally never met an illegal alien that they didn't want to protect.

The most bitter paradox of our time:
Tehran is currently experiencing military strikes, yet the air is the cleanest it has been in YEARS. We actually have rainbows, snow, and blue skies!
Why? Because the Islamic Republic's massive, grid-draining crypto farms are offline, meaning their power plants aren't burning toxic Mazut (heavy fuel oil) over our heads anymore. The daily traffic of their corrupt, substandard economy has halted.
The Islamic Republic itself was a weapon of mass destruction. Their “peace” was suffocating us. The end of this regime is literally letting Iran breathe again!

In 2024, there were 10,000 entry-level jobs at Amazon that were given to foreign students through the OPT program. Amazon doesn't have to pay payroll taxes on these employees. It is a massive incentive to ignore American grads.
Project for Immigration Reform@PFIRorg
Keep in mind that OPT functions as a blanket work authorization for foreign students who complete a degree in the United States. In practice, this has encouraged a proliferation of low-tier institutions that operate less as centers of learning than as conduits for immigration benefits. Employers, for their part, receive FICA tax exemptions and face few meaningful wage constraints when hiring OPT workers, who can often be paid very little. The result is a system that tilts away from both educational integrity and the protection of domestic labor standards.

@McFranchisee Mac minis are great platforms. I know McDonalds doesn’t have the software, but it might be worth McDonalds HQ building some prototypes and then inviting their Microsoft rep in for a tour.

This whole Windows ESU license update is an absolute disaster.
Every single device running Windows 10 now needs a new $200 license from headset systems to kiosks.
All the vendors you bought this equipment from are not equipped to track you down later and ensure compliance.
Every week I get an urgent 11th hour email giving me 24 hours to provide a vendor information I don’t readily have, or else I risk going dark.
As if restaurants weren’t already difficult to operate, this just adds more headaches. Anyone else fighting the same fight?

@SawyerMerritt @wholemars If the jurors and judge are so good at picking “correct” company valuations, they should run a hedge fund

Everyone with a brain, including Elon himself, agrees that $44B was overpaying for Twitter. In retrospect, it was worth way less.
This will no doubt head to appeal.

Elon Musk defrauded Twitter investors when he disparaged the company in 2022 in an effort to buy the social media platform for a lower price than his original $44 billion bid, a jury concluded bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Bigger story here: implied range of an Iranian IRBM from a launch box in central Iran, with a range of ~4500 km (distance to Diego Garcia).
Theoretically could also target sites into Central Europe.

Please explain how I can know they are unarmed.
Please explain how me & my wife, both 70yo can survive if a young, strong “unarmed” intruder assaults us.

Should you be allowed to SHOOT a person who has broken into your house .. even if they are UNARMED?

@CBSNews It’s the Schrödinger valuation: simultaneously too big and too small

A jury has found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors by deliberately driving down Twitter's stock price in the tumultuous months leading up to his 2022 acquisition of the social media company for $44 billion. cbsn.ws/3PejaEO

In 2007, when Chuck Norris visited Marines in Western Iraq, he demanded to get away from large bases and instead visit the small FOBs and COPs. MNF-W said it would be too dangerous, but Norris insisted and in the end, got his way.
I'm forever grateful for the example he set, and this awesome choke hold.

@iunderwood @TechOperator And they would consider it money well spent since it apparently resulted in your IT career.
Mine too.

Tesla is winning over a hard-to-please and influential group—truckers. Truckers who drove it in pilot tests say they loved features including a centered driving position, faster charging and longer range for about $100,000 less than other battery-electric trucks. on.wsj.com/4shzrax

the greatest psyop of this century was convincing the western liberal mind that no one is trying to conquer them anymore, that all cultures and religions are equally peaceful and well-intentioned, that civilizations dont fall to invaders, that men just arent like that anymore
