If the 55 mph speed limit was adjusted on a percent change basis like the #DebtCeiling, the current speed limit would be 39,735 mph.

@harukaawake He looks inbred.

🇯🇵 "Japan deserves to be hated" says this "British" Muslim. "Their men are weird. We can't forget what they did in World War II. Japan deserves hate!" I'd love to see what the quality of life is wherever he's actually from...

@harukaawake She’s ugly!!

🇯🇵🇬🇭 A lady from Ghana explains that she can help other Ghanaians enter and work in Japan illegally by lying to Japanese immigration authorities. I've reported her to the immigration authorities so I hope they'll listen.

@Ross__Hendricks @SantiagoAuFund @doofypoaster You’re retarded.

@SantiagoAuFund @doofypoaster No we’re simply observing objective reality

For those who think the U.S. does not have a plan with regards to Iran, pls answer this one question: If the U.S. has no plan, then why did Iran spend the last 40 years preparing to counter the U.S.'s plan...?

@FOXNashville Deport

A Nashville journalist is speaking out after spending 16 days in ICE detention, calling the experience “terrifying.” Estefany Rodriguez says she was detained despite following her immigration process. She described being unable to contact her young daughter and called conditions “inhumane.” Now out on bond, her legal fight continues. bit.ly/3PNT5wl

@LostOrFoundFL @Layemie001 Not if you buy "Joker" by WERA tools Germany. The modern version works great with high torque for tightening or loosening screws. Just look at the 5k reviews... amazon.com/dp/B085CT466K?…

A crazy vintage German wrench design. Germans are too technical while making tools.💯

@TFTC21 @3xWolverine @nic_carter is a liar.

Folks, we told you this was coming, and today the mask is fully off. A couple weeks back we reported, based on solid sources, that Coinbase was quietly lobbying to kill a real de minimis tax exemption for Bitcoin while pushing one that applied only to stablecoins like USDC. We laid out the clear incentives in our deep dive. Coinbase made 1.35 billion dollars in stablecoin revenue last year, up 48 percent year over year, almost entirely from yield on the Treasuries backing USDC. A proper Bitcoin de minimis would let people spend sats on everyday purchases without triggering taxable events on every transaction. That directly competes with their centralized yield machine. We called it what it was. Policy that protects Coinbase’s float rather than advancing neutral Bitcoin adoption. Brian Armstrong pushed back hard. He called our reporting totally false and misinformation while insisting he was personally lobbying for Bitcoin de minimis. Some accused us of lying or spreading rumors. We stood firm. We offered to have Brian on the TFTC podcast to clear the air. We waited. Now the latest draft from Reps. Horsford and Max Miller on the updated PARITY Act framework has dropped. It confirms exactly what we warned about. It gives a de minimis exemption to stablecoins but leaves Bitcoin out entirely. It keeps the punishing double taxation on Bitcoin mining fully intact while carving out relief for passive validation, basically staking. This is not an oversight or sloppy drafting. It abandons any pretense of technology neutrality and deliberately picks winners. Dollar-pegged stables and staking get the breaks, while actual Bitcoin usage as money and Proof-of-Work mining get kneecapped. Without de minimis for Bitcoin, every small Lightning payment or sat transaction still forces cost-basis tracking and IRS headaches. Paying your plumber in sats or grabbing lunch with Bitcoin remains a taxable event. Stablecoins, being pegged and low-volatility, get an exemption they barely need. The real beneficiary is protecting that massive USDC reserve float and the yield it generates. Meanwhile, American Bitcoin miners, already operating in one of the toughest, most capital- and energy-intensive industries, face continued double taxation while staking gets a pass. That is not neutral policy. It is industrial policy against domestic Bitcoin mining at a time when we should be leaning into energy abundance and securing the hardest monetary network. The Bitcoin Policy Institute is releasing a full statement soon, and we fully back the call for strong community pushback. Every Bitcoiner needs to contact their reps and make it politically radioactive to sideline Bitcoin while handing carve-outs to stables and staking. This language slows real adoption, entrenches custodians, and weakens American Bitcoin infrastructure. We weren’t lying. Our sources weren’t lying. The draft proves the reporting was on target. Those who rushed to call it misinformation owe the community some honest reflection. Brian, if you’re still open to that conversation, the invitation stands. Come on the podcast. No spin, just walk us through how this draft lines up with your stated support for Bitcoin de minimis. The mic is warm. This fight isn’t over. Bitcoin doesn’t need permission, but bad policy can delay sovereign adoption and punish the miners securing the network. We’re here to protect the protocol and the right of individuals to use sound money without turning every transaction into a compliance nightmare. Stay sovereign. Stack sats. Use Bitcoin as money anyway. Call your reps today.

🧵🚨 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. 👇

@itsrosesm TBD

Do you actually think ending Iran's regime is worth the higher gas prices?

@WillSmithSpeak @JakobSpahn @stats_feed You are retarded.

@JakobSpahn @stats_feed This is 100% false.

🇫🇷 France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40% Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed. France's Finance Minister Roland Lescure revealed on Wednesday that between 30 and 40 per cent of Gulf refining capacity has been damaged or destroyed by Iran's retaliatory strikes, leaving a shortage of 11 million barrels a day on global oil markets.

@CuzKevo @TheAntiLie @airmainengineer @DaleStarkA10 Agreed. In @WarThunder, you don’t want to get close to a loaded A10.

@TheAntiLie @airmainengineer Ya don’t wanna play w the warthog down in the mud. They can turn inside their own asshole. Fat Amy & her skinny hotter friend got caught on an exercise. Oh BTW, here’s a fella that may have knowledge on this same scenario @DaleStarkA10

Can you guess what these signs mean?

Well, well, well… Was his name really Barack Hussein Obama — or was it Jean Paul Ludwig? Let me explain. After digging through records and old documents, something strange surfaced: the Social Security Number 042-68-4425, the one linked to Barack Obama, was originally assigned to a man named Jean Paul Ludwig — a French-born immigrant who came to the U.S. in 1924. He was reportedly given that SSN in March 1977. Now here’s the kicker: Ludwig spent most of his adult life in Connecticut, which explains why his SSN begins with 042 — a prefix reserved for Connecticut residents. Obama? Never lived or worked in Connecticut. So why would he have a Social Security number tied to that state? It gets even more curious. Ludwig reportedly passed away in Hawaii, where Obama’s grandmother, Madelyn Payne Dunham, just happened to work in the probate office of the Honolulu Courthouse — with access to files of deceased individuals and their personal records, including unused Social Security numbers. The theory is that Ludwig’s death was never properly reported to the Social Security Administration, likely because he never received benefits. That meant his number sat dormant — and accessible. Some believe Dunham may have quietly found a number that belonged to someone long gone — someone not receiving benefits — and handed it off to her grandson, whose citizenship status has long been questioned by skeptics due to connections to Kenya and Indonesia. And that’s just the beginning. If Trump — or anyone else — ever pushes past the birth certificate and straight into the mystery of this SSN, it’s going to be chaos. You’ll see heads spin on the left like never before. Because you can debate birthplaces all day long, but using a Social Security number that wasn’t assigned to you? That’s fraud. This isn’t about politics. This is about the law — and the truth. Let people make their own decisions, but they deserve to know. If you’re reading this and just shrug it off? Then maybe you’re okay with being lied to. But if not, spread the word. Because justice for this country is long overdue. In God We Trust. FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

@FenixAmmunition Bag review?

Delayed while they check the "small oil leak in the right engine". Normally I'd be concerned but I drive car with a German twin turbo V8 so this is basically just confirmation that there's actually oil in the engine at all. Unbothered. Ask me anything

@MartyBent @LeveredUSTs @Yan24B24 Timeframe from contact to receiving money?

@Yan24B24 Not at liberty to disclose yet. In due time.

This is massive. I just took out a mortgage using bitcoin as collateral (not from Coinbase, though I love to see them roll this out) and I can’t tell you how much of a relief it was for me and my wife. These products are going to be insanely popular. Not priced in.

@fandompulse Bad writing and bad acting.

Star Trek: Enterprise actor John Billingsley on why the show was cancelled after 4 seasons: "There was so many reasons. Star Trek fatigue. There’d been a lot of overlap, Deep Space Nine had overlap with Next Gen and Voyager had overlapped with Deep Space and here we were, not quite overlapping, but right on the heels of Voyager. I think there was some fatigue, to a certain extent. While people came and watched that first episode [of Enterprise] as opposed to the current iterations of Star Trek, I don’t think at the time it was an audience that was just chomping at the bit for more. I think they were kind of almost looking for a reason to say, ‘Yeah, I’m gonna let this go for a while.’" Do you think his assessment is accurate?

China agrees with President Trump that illegal immigration into Australia has made the country gay, so there's no more fuel for the land down under.

@matthewita6300 @Ken_LoveTW You're likely retarded based on your location alone. Zero hits means they suck.

@Ken_LoveTW Your propaganda doesn't stop the fact that China weapons are super effective,right now Israel are crying that China is helping Iran You are here saying a different thing

China’s “Carrier Killer” has failed spectacularly in Iran. In this conflict, Iran used Chinese-made CM-302 anti-ship missiles and HQ-series air defense systems, but they either failed to hit targets or were quickly destroyed by U.S. forces. Let’s start with earlier developments. Since February, the U.S. deployed major forces to the Middle East, including two carrier strike groups near Iran. War was on the verge of breaking out. To counter these carriers, Iran urgently purchased China’s so-called “carrier killer” CM-302 anti-ship missiles. The CM-302 is the export version of China’s YJ-12 missile. It is supersonic, has a range of about 290 km, and can strike large vessels. Beijing has long promoted it as one of the most powerful anti-ship missiles in the world. But in real combat, this “carrier killer” delivered a shocking result: zero hits! Investigations showed that many of the CM-302 missiles malfunctioned mid-flight and crashed, while the rest were easily intercepted by U.S. forces. Combined with U.S. Aegis combat systems, SM-6 interceptors, and electronic warfare, the missiles were neutralized with ease. There are even reports that Chinese technical personnel suffered casualties. The complete failure of these “carrier killers” not only damaged Iran’s confidence but also triggered global skepticism toward Chinese weapons. Rumors even suggest that Xi Jinping was furious, criticizing military engineers for pushing substandard equipment to secure funding, and launching internal crackdowns. This disastrous performance exposes a deeper issue: China’s military industry has long focused on paper performance rather than battlefield effectiveness. Weapons are not like consumer products. A sports car reaching 500 km/h proves performance. But for missiles, speed alone means nothing because if the enemy intercepts or jams it, the weapon is useless. A weapon must prove it can survive defenses and hit real targets under combat conditions. China’s approach to weapons development resembles consumer product design, chasing specs rather than real-world effectiveness. Take the CM-302: on paper, it looks impressive—290 km range, 500 kg payload. In theory, a few missiles could destroy a carrier. But that assumes the enemy is unprepared. In real combat, the opponent has layered missile defenses, electronic warfare, and early warning systems. Chinese weapons, designed without sufficient real combat considerations, collapse under these conditions, like paper tigers. This also reflects a structural weakness: China’s military has not fought a real war since the Sino-Vietnamese War. Nearly 50 years without combat means a lack of real battlefield experience, making it difficult to design weapons for actual war scenarios. As a result, Chinese weapons prioritize theoretical performance over proven effectiveness. In the global arms market, the most reliable weapons are those tested in real combat. Without that validation, even impressive specifications can be meaningless. Iran learned that lesson the hard way by buying Chinese weapons.
