@FoxNews Trump will be the only president where oil prices were both negative at one point and infinity at another point

REPORTER: "The average price of a gallon of gas is now $4.30 in this country..." PRESIDENT TRUMP: "And you know what? And we're not going to have a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran." "The gas will go down. As soon as the war is over, it'll drop like a rock. There's so much of it. It's all over the place, sitting all over the oceans of the world."

@facefuklibtards Tucker's model does not rely on paid subscriptions, the fact it is above zero is the only thing I find surprising

A few days ago hackers breached his website and only found around 7k subscribers to his show. They are posting these metrics because investors are freaking the fuck out. 58 million views across all platforms is dogshit. Tucker is making 0 money x.com/weezerOSINT/st…

@thizzelleX @ChristianHeiens They only need it to work for one election cycle to turn a temporary super majority into a permanent one party rule forever

@ChristianHeiens A major weakness with gerrymandering so aggressively in a 55/45 D type of state is that these would be fragile, brittle districts that any number of factors could swing a few races. Even Chicago moving a few points to the right would inadvertently yield many GOP districts.

Every Democrat-drawn Congressional map is just going to look like this from now on. The urban machine in states like New York and Illinois is going to be dismantled by Democrats themselves because there’s now a far greater crisis for the party to address than continuing to placate inner-city minority grievance politics. Those urban cores now need to be drawn into giant spaghetti noodles reaching down to envelop the countryside. It’s the only way for Democrats to draw unanimous maps in states like California, Illinois, and New York. This is going to have far reaching effects on both the Democratic Party’s internal coalition and our national politics at large.

@TheBTCTherapist Because Trump thinks the US is an economic zone and you are a tax slave

Why is the U.S. exporting record levels of oil if I’m still paying 50% more at the pumps? Make it make sense.

@Pirat_Nation Is MS getting rid of the forced AI integration, spyware, forced updates and inserted ads for MS apps?

Good news for Windows 11 gamers: Microsoft is quietly working on a major internal plan called “K2” to slash bloat, boost performance, and make the OS seriously competitive with SteamOS. >SteamOS is now the official benchmark, Microsoft wants Windows 11 to deliver identical (or better) gaming performance on the exact same hardware >Dramatically lower idle RAM usage and a much lighter overall OS footprint >Heavy cuts to AI clutter and pre-installed junk >Completely rebuilt Start menu, reportedly up to 60% faster >A ton of other under-the-hood tweaks (faster File Explorer, snappier UI, fewer background processes, etc.) The changes are probably due to make Windows look better on Project Helix and future handheld/Xbox PC hardware. It finally feels like Microsoft is listening people, can’t believe it

@ValerieAnne1970 The judge and the doctors who administered this should all be in jail for life

HORRIFYING: 5-year-old develops severe Autism after court-forced vaccines. A Tennessee judge's ultimatum during a custody battle led to a child receiving 18 VACCINES in ONE DAY. After vaccination, Isaac was hospitalized in ICU for 12 days, and later diagnosed with Autism.

@harukaawake Be careful, Americans just 2 generations ago believed America would always be American, today it is called racist to say so

🇯🇵 Currently, Japan is under a lot of pressure to adopt the failed immigration policies of the UK, France etc. However, no matter what they tell us, Japan will always remain unapologetically Japanese. We will never change who we are.

@bekahj Americans became a minority in their own country and their foreign replacements hate America and Americans

I’m only 57 but I remember a time when you didn’t even know what political party your friends and neighbors were. We were all just Americans and we were mostly united. What happened?

🚨 BREAKING: The House just voted to KEEP FUNDING NED, an NGO called "National Endowment for Democracy," defeating an amendment pushed by Elon Musk, Mike Benz, Rep. Eli Crane and others 81 REPUBLICANS joined Democrats. Final vote: 127-291. Trump tried to defund NED, but was stopped Eli Crane describes NED as a "contributor to global censorship campaigns and domestic propaganda" Unreal. Two good measures were defeated in the House today.

@DRPOOLQ17 This judge is racist and unfit to serve on the bench But nothing will happen

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Leftist Judge Tracy Davis just slashed a 65-year recommended prison sentence IN HALF for a r*pist — she felt bad he was a black 'victim' This is madness. These judges are a threat to EVERYBODY. They must be removed

The wheat in your supermarket loaf is not the wheat your great-grandmother ate. It is barely the same plant. In the 1950s, an American agronomist named Norman Borlaug crossed wheat with a Japanese dwarf variety called Norin 10. The result was a plant half the height of traditional wheat, with a thick stem that did not collapse under synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. Yields tripled. Borlaug got the Nobel Peace Prize. Famines in India and Pakistan were averted. None of that is in dispute. None of that is the point. The point is what came after the harvest. The new dwarf wheat was selected for one thing. Yield. Not flavour. Not minerals. Not digestibility. Studies comparing modern wheat with the heritage varieties grown a century earlier consistently find lower zinc, lower iron, lower magnesium, lower selenium per gram. The plant got shorter. The food got thinner. Then came the Chorleywood Bread Process, developed in 1961 in a Cheshire town that should have known better. Mix, proof, bake in three and a half hours instead of overnight. The fermentation that broke down the harder gluten fractions and the phytic acid binding the minerals was simply skipped. The loaf was, by structure, harder to digest and lower in bioavailable minerals than its slow-fermented predecessor. Then came the glyphosate. From the 1980s onwards, farmers in wet northern climates began spraying their wheat with glyphosate roughly a week before harvest. Not for weeds. To dry the crop down. The active ingredient of Roundup, sprayed directly onto the grain that becomes your flour. Global glyphosate use rose roughly fifteen-fold between 1996 and 2016. So this is the wheat sold to you as a staple food. A plant bred for yield, fermented for ninety minutes instead of overnight, sprayed with a probable carcinogen the week before it became your toast. Then you are told you are gluten intolerant. Possibly. Or possibly you are intolerant of what we have done to wheat in the last sixty years. Bred down, rushed through, and chemically dried for the convenience of an industry that does not eat its own product. Heritage varieties exist. Spelt. Einkorn. Emmer. Khorasan. Tall, slow-growing, lower-yielding, longer-fermented. Grown by a small number of stubborn farmers who refuse to use the dwarf seed. The bread takes eighteen hours instead of ninety minutes. It costs more than the supermarket loaf. Your grandmother would have recognised it. You may now connect the dots yourself.

@SenRandPaul The constitution already does not allow birthright citizenship anyone that claims otherwise is a liar

I am introducing a Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not.  This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment.  We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected. But we are also a country whose borders have been too open and our generosity exploited too often. President Trump has moved to seal our border from illegal immigrants more than any other president.   But we will have more to do. We need to make sure that only children born to legal residents of the U.S. are automatically citizens. I have supported protecting birthright citizenship from abuse since the beginning of my tenure in the Senate, when I cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, and now I am proposing an amendment to protect United States citizenship in case the Supreme Court fails to address this issue correctly.

It didn’t. One of the oldest catechetical texts in Christianity, the Didache, warns against letting people exploit Christian charity for selfish gain. This would explicitly apply to migrants today.

"Another mark of a tyrant is that he likes foreigners better than citizens, and lives with them and invites them to his table; for the one are enemies, but the others enter into no rivalry with him". — Aristotle

It has always surprised me the Linux community has not already taken this path decades ago, standardizing on win protocols solves everything and allows Linux to take over

Everyone involved in doing this to the M-2 money supply should be held responsible for causing the inflation crisis that’s made life unaffordable for 80% of the country. People should go to prison over this. It’s a criminal offense to cause so much suffering

Imagine a 19-year-old scrolling TikTok. She watches a creator list five "signs you have undiagnosed anxiety." She recognizes three in herself. By the end of the week, she's describing herself as anxious to her friends. A month later, she's avoiding situations she used to handle fine. What went wrong? In a new paper by my PhD student Dasha Sandra, titled "Why mental health awareness can harm: Converging explanations for a societal problem", we argue that well-meaning mental health awareness can backfire, and we identify how. Four separate literatures (concept creep, nocebo effects, prevalence inflation, and illness self-labeling) have been circling the same problem from different angles. We show they converge on three mechanisms: 1.Awareness lowers the threshold for what counts as a disorder. 2. It trains people to scan their inner lives for symptoms and reinterpret normal distress as pathology. 3. Once someone adopts an illness identity, they behave in ways that confirm and deepen it. The evidence is wide. Learning that loneliness is harmful makes solitude feel worse. Learning that stress is harmful worsens well-being and performance. Awareness videos about fake conditions like "wind turbine syndrome" produce real headaches. Trigger warnings raise anticipatory anxiety without reducing distress. This does not mean awareness should stop. It means awareness can have unintended consequences, including manufacturing the suffering it tries to prevent. Inoculating people against these mechanisms works, and we already have evidence it does. Link to paper: michael-inzlicht.squarespace.com/s/The-psycholo…
