🚨NEW: The newest craze out of Japan? OFFICE CHAIR RACING. The prize? 200 LBS OF RICE. God BLESS Japan! 🔥🔥🔥

@ThrashMikki @Houseofyogi @kylenabecker @X “The Rise of the New Left’ they called it

@Houseofyogi @kylenabecker @X will likely flag this as "Probable Spam": The Democrat Party was infiltrated by Communist and Socialist ideology around the turn of the 20th Century, if not before. Read Alexander Trachtenberg's speech at the Nat'l Convention of the Communist Party USA at MSG, NYC, 1944

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday. Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism. The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry. The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent. You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing. "Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right. Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over. Today his own party would call him a fascist. The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth. The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote. The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children. Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026: Censorship of political opposition. Democrats. Contempt for democratic process. Democrats. Tolerance of political violence. Democrats. State ideology forced on families. Democrats. Corporate-state fusion. Democrats. Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides. Cult of personality. Both sides. Ultranationalism. Republicans. Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared. You marched against kings on Saturday. You marched FOR kings. You just didn't know which was which. Stop being gaslit. I hope you understand what's at stake.

En una oficina de California, un grupo de veteranos de la NASA rompe en llanto frente a una pantalla de fósforo verde. A 24,000 millones de kilómetros de la Tierra, en el vacío más absoluto y helado, una máquina ha vuelto a la vida. No es tecnología de punta. Son circuitos diseñados cuando aún no existía el internet. Es la Voyager 1, el objeto que lleva nuestra voz a las estrellas, y se niega a decir adiós. Para quienes vivieron el año 1977, el lanzamiento de las sondas Voyager no fue solo un evento científico; fue un mensaje de optimismo en un mundo dividido. Eran los días de la música disco, de la llegada de Star Wars a los cines y de la convicción de que el espacio era nuestra próxima frontera. La Voyager 1 partió con una misión clara: fotografiar Júpiter y Saturno. Pero llevaba algo más: el Disco de Oro, una cápsula del tiempo con sonidos de la Tierra, saludos en 55 idiomas y la música de Bach y Chuck Berry. La Voyager fue diseñada para durar cinco años. Nadie, ni los ingenieros más optimistas de la época, imaginó que en pleno 2026 seguiríamos escuchando sus señales. Cruzó la heliosfera en 2012, convirtiéndose en el primer objeto humano en entrar en el espacio interestelar. Se convirtió en nuestros ojos en la oscuridad. A finales de 2025 y principios de 2026, la tragedia golpeó al equipo de la misión. La Voyager 1 empezó a enviar "basura binaria". En lugar de datos sobre el polvo interestelar o el campo magnético, la sonda emitía una repetición sin sentido de unos y ceros. Era como si un anciano sabio, después de décadas de contar historias, de pronto empezara a balbucear sílabas inconexas. Los expertos diagnosticaron un fallo en el FDS (Sistema de Datos de Vuelo), una de las tres computadoras a bordo. El problema era crítico, el chip de memoria que contenía el código esencial de comunicación se había degradado por la radiación cósmica y el paso de casi medio siglo. La Voyager estaba viva, sus propulsores funcionaban, pero estaba "atrapada" dentro de su propia mente digital, incapaz de decirnos lo que estaba viendo. Aquí es donde la historia se vuelve un acto increíble de humanidad y genialidad. Los ingenieros actuales de la NASA, muchos de los cuales ni siquiera habían nacido cuando la Voyager despegó, tuvieron que recurrir a los "ancianos". Tuvieron que desempolvar manuales de papel, escritos a máquina en los años 70, para entender una arquitectura de computación que hoy parece prehistórica. Pero lo que ocurrió después cambió todo. No podían simplemente "reiniciar" la sonda. Una señal tarda 22.5 horas en llegar a la Voyager y otras 22.5 horas en regresar. Cada intento de reparación requería casi dos días de espera agónica. El equipo decidió realizar una cirugía cerebral a distancia: mover el código dañado a una parte diferente de la memoria de la computadora. El problema era que no había espacio suficiente. Tuvieron que despedazar el código, optimizarlo y "esconderlo" en diferentes rincones de la memoria, como quien intenta acomodar una enciclopedia en los huecos de una estantería llena. En marzo de 2026, después de semanas de simulaciones, se envió el comando definitivo. El equipo de la Red del Espacio Profundo apuntó sus gigantescas antenas hacia la constelación de Ofiuco. El comando viajó a la velocidad de la luz, cruzando la órbita de Plutón, atravesando el cinturón de Kuiper, hasta alcanzar al pequeño viajero en la negrura absoluta. Entonces sucedió algo inesperado. Pasaron 45 horas de silencio total en el Laboratorio de Propulsión a Chorro (JPL). Algunos temían que el comando hubiera borrado definitivamente la memoria de la sonda. De repente, la señal llegó. En las pantallas, los unos y ceros sin sentido desaparecieron. En su lugar, aparecieron datos de telemetría perfectos. La Voyager 1 estaba reportando su estado de salud. "Estoy aquí", decía el código. "Sigo viajando. Sigo mirando" Por primera vez en meses, la Voyager volvía a ser ella misma. Sigue👇

My statement re Prohibiting the Latin Patriarch of entering Church of Holy Sepulcher on Palm Sunday: While all Holy sites in the Old City are closed due to safety concerns for mass gatherings including the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Al Aqsa Mosque, the action today by the Israel Nat'l Police to deny Latin Patriarch Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa and 3 other priests from entering the Church to offer a blessing on Palm Sunday is an unfortunate overreach already having major repercussions around the world.  Home Front Command Guidelines restrict any gatherings to 50 people or less.  The 4 representatives of the Catholic Church were well below that restriction.  Statements from the Gov't of Israel indicate the action to prohibit Cardinal Pizzaballa entry to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher were for safety reasons, but churches, synagogues, and mosques throughout Jerusalem have met with the restrictions of 50 or less.  For the Patriarch to be barred from entry to the Church on Palm Sunday for a private ceremony is difficult to understand or justify. Israel has indicated it will work with the Patriarch to accommodate a safe means of carrying out Holy Week activities.

@CynicalPublius So much truth here

You know, if all those old hippie Democrat white women had not aborted all their babies, they could be spending their Saturdays enjoying their grandchildren instead of protesting imaginary kingdoms.

Today is National Vietnam War Veterans Day. The Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act, signed in 2017, designates March 29 of each year as a day of commemoration to pay tribute to the sacrifices of Vietnam veterans and their families. We honor them at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on the National Mall.

To my American friends, I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen. When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close. For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough. But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying: “Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.” No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again. Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸 This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together. To the American people: We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, America. The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever. #PhoenixRising 🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸🌸

I found this hilarious. May we find unity so that we can fight against the enemy.

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.

A #Roman military diploma issued in AD 71 to Marcus Syrus when he left the military after 26 years of service with the marines. He was originally from Jerash (Jordan) but settled in Pompeii in retirement, where he stored his diploma in his bedside alcove

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.
