If Republicans get walloped in November, it won’t be because we had too many deportations. I can tell you that.

The key to success! 💯

I decided not to go with windows 11 almost a year ago. With only a few exceptions, I was happy with Windows 10, had a perfectly good older laptop W10 ran well on, but Microsoft said nope, you got to buy a new PC. So I said nope I don't want Microsoft's intrusive, nosy fingers in my business anymore. I asked Grok how to install Linux on my old laptop and got a list of easy to understand and easy to follow instructions, and based on how I use my laptop Grok recommended Linux Mint Cinnamon. (there are several versions ranging from simple plug and play installations like cinnamon for casual users to more complex setups for power users). The instruction started with how to shrink the portion of my memory Windows was using on my laptop to leave a big hunk free for installing Linux, a simple three step (three clicks) process in Windows 10 that took 10 minutes. Then I just followed Grok's instructions for downloading Linux Mint Cinnamon from the website, saving it to a thumbdrive first so I could boot it up and play with it a bit to decide if I really wanted it or not. The final step was simply clicking on 'install alongside Windows', and the install program installed Linux with a dual boot menu allowing me to boot up windows 10 or Linux Mint Cinnamon when I turn on my computer. Windows 10 and all my Windows files are still there as an archive if I ever need it. Cinnamon comes with Libre Office with all the apps Microsoft office has and they all work very similar to Microsoft office. The whole thing worked great out of the box. Result: Except for moving all my windows 10 files to my Linux cinnamon, which is simply drag and drop, I've never booted up windows 10 again. No fees, no forced updates, no forced Microsoft account, no Microsoft spyware, and my old reliable laptop Microsoft rejected is still going strong with Linux and doing everything I need. Best move I've made in years.

@OldVetvp @warriors_mom Same experience in 2023, sans AI, with Linux Ubuntu. Highly recommend the transition to Linux - pick your own variant for your use case. It's not entirely seamless, a few new concepts and tasks, but I cannot overemphasize the liberation that results. Give it a try.

The Senate is the most corrupt body in U.S. politics.

THIS is a National Security Issue.

Islam destroys everything it touches!

wrong. We are talking about the DMI record since 1958 north of 80, which you are apparently clueless about, since it's the most accurate long-running record. In addition, this is not local, as Alaska is having the coldest summer and start of a year since 2012. While the arctic area is small, it is the longest running accurate record, going back much further than the graphic you are cherry picking ( 1958)

@realpatriotM @VladTheInflator What characteristics are common to this region's population, to the population's intellect, to the region's shared value structure, its religious and social systems? Yes -- that's why this region is the birthplace of Western Civilization and the foundation of the modern world.

The biggest heist in American history — exposed. The Federal Reserve just confirmed it: U.S. NGOs are sitting on $14.2 TRILLION in combined assets — your tax money. That’s more than the entire GDPs of India + Japan + Germany combined. Congress didn’t just spend the national debt… They racketed HALF of it into the single largest corruption empire on the planet. This is the missing half of the U.S. debt crisis. The root of the waste, the fraud, the open borders, the endless foreign handouts, and the shadow government that answers to no one. They took your money. Your children’s money. Your grandchildren’s money… and handed it to unaccountable organizations that grow richer while America bleeds. This isn’t “charity.” This is the greatest money-laundering operation in history — protected by Congress. The racket is bigger than most countries. And it’s funded by you.

Any company that lets thousands of its employees go should be denied any and all visas to replace those workers. It’s no secret what’s happening here.

@TomANelson @CoppockRog62072 It's a step-up function, linked directly to increases in WV from strong El Niño events and, in the last step-up, to the addition of Tonga. It actually shows its not CO2, since when looking at it in terms of ENSO events, it's all WV

We can quibble about actual %, but the premise here is true

Florida State NIKE can offer garnet and respect their school colors. We sign with Nike which is amazing, but what’s the difference in Garnet for the Noles and garnet for us. We ain’t no Crimson. My degree say RGB115,0,10 CMYK9,100,64,48! Just set the machines to those codes thx!

Elon Musk just said the one thing about America they made sure you’d never learn. The one thing that should’ve made you proud, not ashamed. Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?” One nation held a weapon no civilization had ever possessed. Total monopoly on destruction. No rival. No consequence. No limit. Every empire in history that held that kind of power did the only thing empires know how to do. They took until there was nothing left to take. America had a greater advantage than all of them combined. And rebuilt the nations it just defeated. Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.” Not almost unprecedented. It had never happened. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded civilization. The nation with the power to take everything chose to rebuild instead. Enemies became allies. Rubble became economies. Surrender became partnership. Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a single generation. Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth. Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin. Into the capital of the country that just tried to end the free world. That decision reshaped every economy, every alliance, and every trade route on the planet. Billions of people lifted out of poverty over the next half century trace back to one moment. One nation choosing restraint over domination. No other country in history can make that claim. Not one. Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.” Every nation on earth has blood in its history. But the measure of a nation was never its worst chapter. It’s what it does when nobody can stop it. When nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities. You’re being told every day that this country is something to be ashamed of. By people who have no idea what the world looks like without it. Every free market. Every open border for trade. Every democracy that took root outside Europe stands in the shadow of that single decision. The values that built this country didn’t just shape America. They shaped the modern world. AI is about to hand a small number of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look primitive. 1945 was the first test. AI is the last. That power is going to exist. The only question left is who holds it. The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb. It was having the power to take everything and choosing not to. The people trying hardest to tear that story down have never built a single thing worth defending.
