@kaorukazama Please come visit again. This country is so huge, there is much more to see!

A huge thank you to everyone in the US! You all helped create so many wonderful memories for me during the World Cup. I’m heading back to Japan now, but let’s definitely stay in touch on Twitter. Thank you so much—I love you, America! ❤

@machpodfann @LairdOfThManor Well yes, the examples are quite peaceful in and of themselves, are they not?

@LairdOfThManor These are excellent pacific examples of common mistakes. I learned.😍😍

A small public service announcement from the Department of Things That You Should Know… It has not “peeked” your interest. Nor has it “peaked” your interest. …It has piqued your interest. You are not “phased” by something. You are fazed by it. If you’ve had a long day, you are weary. If you suspect someone is an idiot, you are wary. It is “due course”, not “do course”. “Per se”, not “per say”. And while we’re here, it’s “could have”, not “could of”, but that particular battle may already be lost. Thank you for your attention during this brief outbreak of grammatical housekeeping. This has been a @LairdofthManor announcement.🎩💙

@DesiRedBird @LairdOfThManor Some of us do appreciate this. There is no reason the discourse on X should not be of high caliber vis-a-vis usage and grammar.

@LairdOfThManor so many.... here's a couple more. One wreaks havoc, though may reek in the process. I don't know what kind of teams bacteria might form, but they in abundance are teemimg. I could go on all day....

@JohnGVibes @JamesOKeefeIII Perhaps there should be organized protests against stupidity. People would march around you.

@JamesOKeefeIII Yeah, investigate the heroes protesting the concentration camps and not the actual camps

For the past eight months, O'Keefe Media has infiltrated ANTIFA networks in New Jersey, gathering internal communications and evidence. Tomorrow at 1PM EST, you will meet the individuals behind the Delaney Hall unrest in New Jersey and other coordinated blockade actions. We are not just in LA or DC. OMG is everywhere.

@theopposum1234 @bennyjohnson Break all you wish. He's talking about one weather service making the forecast sound scary. In other words "manipulating the forecast" Sorry if that upsets you so.

@InfectiousMasc1 @bennyjohnson No shit. Do you think liberals want to waste the time to manipulate a weather forecast across multiple weather agencies? Give me a fuckin break.

Libtards were so desperate to stop President Trump from hosting UFC America 250, they tried to MANIPULATE the weather forecast. The leftist anti-Trump Weather Channel reported: - 30mph winds - Torrential rain - Lightning storms - Swarms of mosquitos I was actually at the White House. I can promise you none of that happened. Now they just look like idiots. Better luck next time, libs.

@SnerdlyP @Handre Too complicated to change? That's not a good argument. Learn the basics of caring for your health yourself. See a doctor when you need to And pay him directly. Get a catastrophic policy

@InfectiousMasc1 @Handre Individualized healthcare would be great, but this is a multi-trillion dollar industry with many moving parts. Government health care would quadruple administration expenses and waste, so that isn't a solution either.

They told you Obamacare would discipline the insurance giants. Force them to compete. Drive down premiums through the magic of an online marketplace with a clean government website. Then you watched the website crash in October 2013, and you watched UnitedHealth, Aetna, and Anthem post record profits while your deductible climbed past $6,000. Here is what the exchanges actually built. The law forced you to buy a product under penalty of the individual mandate, then handed the insurers a fountain of taxpayer cash to make the product look affordable. Premium tax credits flowed straight to the carriers, not to you. In 2017 the federal government paid roughly $42 billion in subsidies, and that money landed in corporate accounts. The cost-sharing reduction payments did the same thing. The risk corridor program promised to backstop insurer losses outright, which is to say it socialized the downside while the executives kept the upside. Guaranteed customers. Guaranteed revenue. A captive market created by statute. Any cartel in history would have killed for terms like that. Free market economists have a plain name for this arrangement: rent-seeking. When a firm earns its money by extracting subsidies through political channels instead of by serving customers who choose freely, it stops being a business and becomes a tax farmer. The insurers lobbied for the mandate because they understood the arithmetic better than the voters did. America's Health Insurance Plans spent millions backing the bill, then acted shocked when premiums on the individual market more than doubled between 2013 and 2017 in many states. They were not the victims of the law. They wrote the parts that mattered. Strip away the subsidy and the whole structure collapses, because the prices were never real prices. A real price emerges when a buyer who can walk away meets a seller who can lose the sale. The exchange killed both conditions. You could not walk away without a penalty, and the seller could not lose because Washington covered the gap. This is not a market. The people who keep calling it one are counting on you not noticing who cashes the check.

@SnerdlyP @Handre "health insurance" adds another layer of payroll, expenses, building leases, advertising, consultants, etc etc that comes out of the dollars we have that we use for health care. A concierge or direct primary care plan is usually less than health insurance

The profit margin of health insurance companies is between 2-5%, the same as grocery stores. The problem is not insurance companies, they are merely paying the bills dropped on them by hospitals and providers. Can insurance be better and more affordable? Yes, but I'm not convinced insurance is the root of health care unaffordability.

@theopposum1234 @bennyjohnson Do you have any idea what a forecast is?

@bennyjohnson Lmfao, imagine thinking we can manipulate weather forecasts. If we actually could do all the shit you claim, Trump wouldn’t even be in office you fuckin lump.

@BlastingThrough I guess it doesn't pay to be a hothead, right? 😁

From 1992 to 1996, I was the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) Exercise Sergeant Major. This May 1995 photo was taken in Jordan. One night in the tent, I had an unusual bed partner. I was sleeping on the ground in my sleeping bag. In the morning one of the guys noticed that a horned viper was snuggled up for warmth – just next to my head. I lay there until the snake was dealt with. The desert, like every environment I had operated in, demanded respect and constant awareness.

@angelflesh3 Nope

does anyone actually like these

@hoshizorarock No cocaine please!! But Coca-Cola with cheese is delightful 😋

コカインは身体に無害なのか？👀

@wdlyon Aww ☺️👍🏻

How it started vs ...

@vbspurs Whoops, I almost caught that "bless you" but it bounced off me and landed on mum. 😁

@InfectiousMasc1 Bless you, dear one!

I've ordered ready-made meatloaf from the prepared food section of the supermarket. Mum has a bit of a toothache and can't masticate well. If you would be so kind, please pray Mum's tooth gets better.

アメリカ人よ🇺🇸 どちらに回っているように見える？👀 右回りに見えると天才らしい👀

@TiffMoodNukes Wow, that's amazing!

Sober Birthday Today! 🎉 Twenty-one years ago today, I ended my relationship with alcohol It was poisoning me. It was deceiving me. It was controlling me I was addicted to a dangerous companion that held a power over my life I didn’t fully recognize. Alcohol is often referred to as “spirits,” and for many, it can lead into places of darkness, despair, and self-destruction One morning, while sober and deeply dissatisfied with the reflection staring back at me, I looked into the mirror and made a life-changing decision. Instead of turning to alcohol, I turned to Spirit I meditatively prayed: “I am listening. Guide me. I am ready to change. I am ready for healing, purpose, and happiness” With unwavering determination, faith, and guidance through God’s Word, I chose a different path I confided in only a handful of trusted people as I began my journey. Some friends and even family members stopped inviting me out because I was no longer their “drinking party girl.” There were moments of temptation. There were tests and challenges. But I refused to return to the darkness, recklessness, and emptiness I had left behind I took it one day at a time, moment to moment Just four months later, I had lost 19 pounds, was exercising four days a week, and had started a small business. I looked and felt damn good ya’ll! More importantly, I had reclaimed my life And I have remained sober ever since I did it! ❤️ If sharing my story helps even one person who is struggling with addiction, then it is worth telling Today, I pray for everyone fighting the battle of addiction—the demonic winnable war within May God speak to your heart, and may you have the courage to listen There is hope. There is healing. There is freedom One. Day. At. A. Time. 🙏🏾🪷

@KingBobIIV Aww thanks!

About 6 weeks or so ago, a friend of mine was awoken by her toddler saying, "mummy! Small cats are coming out of our cat!" She didn't know the cat was pregnant. Anyway... after much massive watery big blue eyes manipulation from my little girl, we welcome James. James the cat. He's beautiful. youtu.be/HpPxBrMy7lo?is…

@brian_t_muldoon @carolmswain Shaun King for Pres? I don't know dude. 🤔

@carolmswain We could elect a gay white man pretending to be a straight black man president and he will magically fix everything.

“There is a sickness in black subculture in contemporary America, and the sickness is this: Too many young black males are immersed in a socio-racial ideology that glorifies violence, preaches that only the meanest dog on the block wins, and dictates that any perceived threat from anyone who “steps up to me” must be countered with a wildly disproportionate, overwhelming response.” I concur. What are we going to do about it? #KarmeloAnthony #blackcrime

@elsathora @ball_knower69_ Don't listen to those negative comments. Those people are snobs. The reason they don't like Golden Corral is because they don't want to be seen there. It's has nothing to do with the food which is perfectly fine, working class American fare. If you like it, then it's good 👍🏻

@ball_knower69_ Oh no don’t scare me

I just had an out of body experience
