Bernie Sanders is a total fraud… 3 homes… House #1 Burlington, VT $700K-$800K House #2 Washington, DC $700K-$800K House #3 Champlain Islands, VT $700K-$800K The millionaire communist. Anyone that still falls for Bernie's act is a sucker. Bernie is the Oligarchy.

@CynicalPublius Yes. Best sci fi movie ever.

Politics and human dignity are not the same thing. The OP does not get that. Bill Shatner does. Thanks for standing up for what is right Bill. (+FWIW, not only is Wrath of Khan the best scifi movie ever made. it's one of the Top Ten movies in ANY genre ever made.)

@DoctorLemma @ChuckRossDC Saw nurses do this nearly 30 years ago with twins for the woman in te same recovery room as me. They settled right down. It was beautiful.

In 1995, a nurse broke hospital rules to place a newborn into her twin sister’s incubator. The baby was not expected to survive. Kyrie and Brielle Jackson were born 12 weeks early at a hospital in the United States. Each weighed roughly two pounds. They were placed in separate incubators, standard practice to prevent infection. Kyrie gained strength. Brielle did not. Three weeks after birth, Brielle went into critical condition. Her oxygen dropped. Her heart rate spiked. Her skin turned bluish-grey. Nurse Gayle Kasparian tried everything. She held her. She had her father hold her. She wrapped her in a blanket. Nothing worked. Kasparian remembered hearing about a practice used in parts of Europe but never tried in American hospitals. She placed Brielle into Kyrie’s incubator. Their father described what happened next: “She snuggled up to Kyrie and she was just fine. It was immediate. It was absolutely immediate.” Within minutes, Brielle’s oxygen levels were the best they had been since she was born. As she slept, Kyrie stretched her left arm across her sister’s body and held her. Photographer Chris Christo captured the moment. The image spread around the world and became known as “The Rescuing Hug.” Hospitals across multiple countries began placing premature twins together, a practice that had been resisted for decades. Both girls went home healthy. They are now 30.

@Sachinettiyil Hope you saw the cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin while you were in town!

Visiting the Museum of the Bible in DC was a true blessing, with its remarkable collection of artifacts and manuscripts dating back up to 4,000 years that beautifully showcase the ancient roots of the Bible. I highly encourage everyone to visit it at least once to experience this profound journey through the most influential books in human history

@RetroNewsNow If you have eaten a hundred bananas in your life or gotten four bitewing X-rays latelyyou have gotten the same amount of radiation that people got from TMI. 1 millirem above background. You get 300-600 mrem every year just walking around. You can cut the hysterics over TMI now.

On March 28, 1979, a cooling system failure at Three Mile Island near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, led to a partial nuclear meltdown, the worst in U.S. history, releasing small amounts of radioactive gases into the environment and triggering public concern over nuclear safety

I think we need "No Democrats" rallies because they actually exist and are doing the country grave harm.

OK I'm kind of stunned how AI can make anything sound like a song. I loaded my pinned post and this spit out. Excuse me please if I'm like a kid with a new toy for just a little bit. ".....sooooooooyyy latte...."🤣

My mom had a 1976 bicentennial commemorative glass Folgers instant coffee jar that we used throughout my childhood. The fact that we’re not seeing that kind of packaging from every consumer brand this year makes me sad.

Does anyone notice with the No Kings rallies that tomorrow is Palm Sunday? Can’t do both, people.

@FrMatthewLC Autism mom approves! Pro tip: don’t go to a round church. You will not win. 😂

Do you think this is a good policy or not?

There is no reason to protest now. Burger King has fired ‘The King.’ 👑 #NoKings marketingdive.com/news/burger-ki…

@ABC Pathetic whiny, welfare-sucking socialist retards screaming 'no kings' while begging Big Government for free shit. You're not a rebel — you're a gutless NPC serf with daddy issues and zero spine. Go lick boots elsewhere, you unwashed participation trophy clowns. 🖕abc

Remember, it takes the electrical capacity of a small city to power a program that poorly mimics human intelligence. God does that in our brain on 20 watts. God is amazing.

PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! PEAK BLOOM! It's official! The cherry blossoms are opening & putting on a splendid spring spectacle. See you soon. 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸! #CherryBlossom #BloomWatch #WashingtonDC

The Church has always taught that suffering is not the worst thing that can happen to a person. The worst thing is to be abandoned in it. These young women were raped. Then institutionalized. Then killed. At each stage, someone decided their lives were not worth the cost of genuine care. That is not a medical decision. It is a moral verdict. And the society that renders it has already answered the question of what it believes human beings are worth. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them.

Three more pieces of advice from an engineer and former adjunct instructor: 1) Do all the problems and do them yourself without Chegg, AI, internet-pirated instruction manuals or YT videos. Your physics, chemistry, and math instructor assignment them to help you build mental muscle memory. And be able to show all your work, especially when doing homework online. We can’t read your mind and neither can the TA’s. 2) Hit up the study halls and professors’ office hours. Their purpose is to help you when you are stymied with No. 1. 3) Develop your scientific, technical and business writing skills. The rules of grammar are the same as your humanities classes. But your audience expects you to be succinct, provide facts, illustrate arguments and analysis with examples, and draw reasoned conclusions - quickly. BONUS: Co-op, co-op, co-op. And consider a pre-college post-HS gap to earn as much money for college in as many varied jobs you can handle to learn how to work and engage with the public. Older, work-wise students make better students.

To: Admitted Students on Ivy Decision Day From: UATX Congratulations. Getting in was hard and you should be proud. Now here’s some unsolicited advice so you don’t waste the next four years. Go to class. We know this sounds obvious. But as the New York Times reported recently, Harvard students routinely skip class, rarely speak up when they're there, and focus on their devices instead of the discussion. Faculty say few students do enough preparation to contribute meaningfully. The average college student spends about 20 hours a week on class and studying combined. At UATX, we aim for 50. That’s the difference between a part-time commitment and a full-time job. You (or your parents) are about to spend upwards of $90K a year. If you don't show up, you're paying roughly $250 per skipped lecture for the privilege of sleeping in. Read the books yourself. Your generation is the first to arrive at college post-literate — raised on short-form video, dependent on algorithms, and increasingly incapable of sitting with a difficult text long enough to let it change your mind. Ninety percent of college students use AI academically. This makes you more reliant on the authority of others. Most professors will also stand between you and the text. They’ll tell you what Marx “really meant,” what Aristotle “failed to see,” as though an academic in 2026 has outsmarted minds that shaped civilizations. The good professors do the opposite: they put you in front of the book and they work with you to find what a great mind has to teach us directly. Find those professors, and read everything yourself. Say what you actually think. Seventy-three percent of conservative students report withholding their political views in class out of fear their grades will suffer. Our advice isn't political; it's intellectual. If you spend four years learning to say what's expected instead of what's true, you’ll graduate roughly where you started — just older, more credentialed, and more practiced at self-censorship. One study finds that nearly half of students show no measurable gains in “critical thinking” after two years in college. Keep this in mind as you make decisions about which professors to take and how to do your assignments. Taking a small hit on your paper to gain integrity and wisdom is usually worth it. Ask for real grades. Sixty percent of Harvard undergraduate grades are now A’s. Twenty-five years ago, it was 20%. It got so bad that the legendary Harvard professor, Harvey Mansfield, started giving students two grades: the official one for their transcript, and a private one reflecting what they actually earned. He called the official grades “ironic.” So here's a suggestion: Take your A, but also ask your professors for a “Mansfield grade” so that you know where you stand. And don’t avoid difficult courses to keep your transcript clean for law school. Get work experience before you graduate. Forty-two percent of recent college graduates are working jobs that don't require a degree. Many employers are projecting the next few years to be the worst college grad job market in years. A degree alone — even from an Ivy — is not a job guarantee. Seek out apprenticeships, internships, and real work starting freshman year. The students at UATX are connected with entrepreneurs and business leaders from day one. Many will graduate with four years of work experience alongside their degree. You can build something similar at your school, but you'll have to do it yourself. Understand how debt shapes your life. If you're paying full freight or even half, do the math with your eyes open. Your decision to take on debt will quietly reshape the trajectory of your adult life through countless small surrenders: the job you take because it’s safe instead of starting the company. The city you choose to live in. The relationship you delay and the kids you don’t have. For women, a $1,000 increase in student loan debt lowers the odds of marriage by 2% per month in the first four years after graduation. None of that shows up in the college brochure. If you're going to take on debt, treat it like the constraint it is from day one: save aggressively and make sure every dollar is buying something that will actually compound in your favor. Find the people who take school seriously. The best thing about a great school isn't the lectures or the library. It's the handful of professors and students who are genuinely there to learn — who read ahead, argue in good faith, and push you to be sharper. Find them. UATX is a small community of those who seek a serious education. At a larger university, you have to build this community yourself. * The most dangerous thing about an elite university is that it is very easy to do nothing for four years and still come out looking successful. The transcript will say you excelled. The diploma with the fancy crest will open certain doors. Your parents will be proud. And yet you will have coasted — through inflated grades, unread books, and borrowed opinions. Getting in is an accomplishment. Making the next four years worth it will be harder, and the right decisions will change everything. We wish you luck.

🧵🚨 MAJOR BREAKING: A $15+ MILLION DOE contractor and NoKings protest organizer with active nuclear security contracts is on camera recommending a color revolution "how-to" 🚨🚨 His name is Steven A. Cash. Former CIA officer (Balkans, Clinton era). Under Biden: Senior Advisor to the Undersecretary at DHS Intelligence & Analysis. The day after Trump's 2016 election, Cash co-founded "The Steady State" — a network of more than 340 former intelligence community officials who decided Trump was an "existential threat". When Biden won, the threat was gone. Cash went into Biden's DHS. His own words: "we disappeared." Then Trump won again. "Suddenly the existential threat was back." The Steady State reactivated and is now a planning partner with NoKings. In the clip below, their meeting recommends "Bringing Down a Dictator" — the Otpor documentary about toppling Milošević — as "a how-to." Meanwhile, Cash's company Deck Prism LLC holds $15+ million in Department of Energy contracts. Almost every one: sole-source or non-competed. One is for the National Nuclear Security Administration — our nuclear weapons program — justified because "disclosure would compromise national security." His FEC records: 20+ donations over 20 years. 100% Democratic. Zero Republican. Including $1,001 to Kamala Harris on August 4, 2024, while his NNSA nuclear contract was active. I have the USAspending receipts, the FEC filings, and him on camera twice. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
