When Elon purchased Twitter, I joined; hoping for information and free speech. X isn’t perfect, but I’m finding more answers than I had questions. I’m also realizing how far our country has fallen. May God bless our country and help us save ourselves.

@luinalaska I like it. Went into my training building today, someone in the class last night (not one of mine) left two empty cheese wrappers in the counter - literally 16” from the trash can. what is wrong with them?

I’m about to create a wall of laundromat shame. You come in and thrash the place I frame your picture for the wall. If it’s bad enough I’ll get one of those video frames and just loop security camera content of people being assholes. The fee to remove your clip is $100.

@EricLDaugh He should. It’s a travesty.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump is now considering using his Constitutional powers to END the Senate and House paid vacation to make them come back and fund DHS This would be EPIC! Article II, Section 3 grants Trump this special power. Make them WORK. Do it Mr. President! 🇺🇸

@CherylS04176724 @harryfisherEMTP I’m beginning it hasn’t been taught to the vast majority of people since the ‘80’s. I’m not a Dr and I figured this all out.

@Alchemyajones @harryfisherEMTP Critical thinking is not taught in medical school

Paramedic info: Walking into hospitals with a patient that is Covid positive while not wearing a mask and watching the staff put on all their “protective gear” is a strange experience. Seeing these insane “vaccinated” people freak out and scramble for their masks is like watching a comedy play out in real time. Their vaccines don’t work. Many of their co workers are dead or injured from them. Their cloth masks don’t work. Yet they’re still doing it. And these are the people that are supposed to take care of you when you get sick or injured. Complete insanity. God bless

@mattvanswol So many are missing God in their lives. The one, true living God. Life is empty without him.

I think I know why everything sucks... ...and it's because everything is fake We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs. We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research. We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products. We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything. We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves. We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage. We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real. We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat. We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments. We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths. We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months. We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made. IT. IS. ALL. FAKE. And we all yearn for what was once real. Don't you remember? Did you forget? There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract. When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does! When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them. When a family could live off a single income. When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it. When schools was HARD... and that was the point! When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house, When you bought something once... and it was yours forever. When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad. And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

Okay, time to explain guns to our new friends. Every day, when I leave the house, I attach a holstered handgun to my belt, under my shirt or coat. I would no more leave the house without a gun than I would walk around outdoors without shoes. Is it because I "need" a gun? No. I live in rural Tennessee, which is state in the American south. It's very safe here. The dangerous parts of America are big cities where the local government is leftist, and they shelter illegal migrant from the third world, and won't send violent criminals to prison. Places like Chicago and New York City. Yet, any time I leave the house, I put on a gun, knowing that I will probably never have to use it, and if I do, it will probably be on an aggressive stray dog, not a human. So why do I do it? Why do many other people who live around me do it? Why do we do this so much that carrying a gun is considered totally normal? If someone spotted it, it would not even arouse a comment, much less any fear. In fact, it is legal to carry a gun openly here, without covering it up. Covering it up is just considered polite. So.... why? Well, try thinking of an English nobleman, during the reign of Elizabeth the First. When he dressed to go ride to court, he would hang a slender fencing sword, called a rapier or smallsword, from his belt. He didn't expect to be attacked. He didn't even expect to fight a duel. And if he was challenged to a duel, he wouldn't need his sword right then. He would meet his challenger later at an agreed-upon place and time. No, he wore his sword because it was an expression of who he was. He was a gentleman, a person of status, with the legal privilege of carrying a sword. By carrying a sword, he asserted his rights and prerogatives as a nobleman. In Japan, you had the same sort of thing happening. The samurai, members of the bushi class, wore the two swords not because they expected to be attacked at any moment, but because the two swords were an essential part of who he was. So, in these two cases, weapons were carried by noblemen as an assertion of status. They had the right to do so, and they did so in order to assert, exercise, and retain the right. Americans carry guns because every American citizen is a nobleman. When we fought the British for our independence, that war began on April 19th, 1775, when British troops, fearing American rebelliousness, marched out from Boston to confiscate guns from people living in the surrounding countryside. Our ancestors did not submit to this. We shot them instead, and they fled back to Boston with their tails between their legs, to cower under the cover of the guns from the warship HMS Sommerset. Thus began several years of war. And when we won that war, we made a country where no government, and no man, would ever be allowed to disarm the people. No agent of the government may say to us, "I may have a gun, and you may not." Because to say that is to say "I am a nobleman, and you are a peasant. I am a master, and you are a slave." We are not peasants here. We are all noblemen. That is the most basic principle of what it means to be an American. I can be impoverished, so I can to be so poor that I live in a van down by the river. But however reduced my circumstances, as an American, I still have the rights and freedoms of a nobleman, of a daimyo, because that is the basic founding idea of the nation we forged on that day. If you come to America to visit, if you walk among us, you will pass many people carrying guns. You will not notice this. You will not see them. You will witness no violence. Everything will be normal. But the guns will be there. Because that is who we are. We don't carry guns to be violent. We don't wish to be rude, or to intimidate people. We keep our guns covered up. But they are the deepest, most essential part of what it means to be American.

The Senate's institutional hollowness was exposed when Thune and Schumer pushed through a 3 AM vote to strip ICE funding with only 5 senators present. I no longer take seriously any appeals to procedure or tradition. The rules are engineered to serve K Street, preserve lawmakers' comfort, and sideline the public they claim to represent.

Perhaps they should change the locks?

@SeedOilDsrspctr I don’t eat seed oils. Carnivore for 2 years now.

I’m at the point where I don’t believe any of these studies where people “didn’t eat seed oils”. So, they went to zero restaurants? Ate basically no food from packages? Never had salad dressing or used sauces? The only people NOT eating seed oils are those who are VERY specifically altering their lives in drastic ways, and people with crippling OCD and they only eat boiled cabbage or something. (Rare)

@Rainmaker1973 That’s brilliant.

In a groundbreaking social initiative, Albuquerque, New Mexico launched a program that pays homeless individuals to clean streets, parks, and public areas. The idea was simple — offers work, dignity, and purpose instead of punishment or pity. The results were remarkable: over 70% of participants have now secured permanent housing or full-time employment, transforming their lives and communities alike. The city’s “There’s a Better Way” program proves that compassion-driven policies can be more effective than traditional welfare systems.

@didi_daisukedoi It’s beautiful, and I don’t even like cityscapes. I would definitely display it in my home.

@kate_p45 So true. I am self employed. After ACA I just stopped having insurance.

Talk to anyone over 63 who had private insurance through a spouse who was a contractor—aka a small business owner—and you’ll hear the exact same story every time: it was manageable, predictable… and then Obamacare hit, and premiums went through the roof. The people who built their own livelihoods, who played by the rules, got crushed the hardest.“Affordable Care” didn’t make it more affordable—it flipped the script entirely. One of the biggest bait-and-switches ever sold to the American people. Everything the democrats do turns to 💩💩

@SuitablePolitic Interesting take. Makes perfect sense.

President Trump is not a businessman in the conventional sense. He's a real estate investor. In real estate, there really is no way to slowly scale up the business with limited overhead. Trump poured outrageous amounts of capital into massive projects. When ground was broken, and for months after, the project was an eyesore. Every single time. This thing that he put billions of dollars on the line for looked like a catastrophe. By its very nature. When you do something like that for long enough, you become desensitized to it. Trump knows the difference between the construction phase and a lost project. He has lost his fortune swinging for the fences, and he's built it back up again... by swinging for the fences. You might be worried when you look at the political landscape and see a barren wasteland a year before you're supposed to show the property. But Trump? He's right at home. This is what he's done his entire life.

@seanfeucht Who sent the Israelites across the Jordan?

I don’t know how Catholics worldwide can defend this guy.

@Milajoy Of course they did. So corrupt. I knew it was lost when they stopped officially counting at 10 pm.

Holy craaap! It is being reported that Fulton County, GA certified over 17,000 votes in the 2020 election for which there was no ballot! Trump lost Georgia by just over 11,000 votes. Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger are going to need good lawyers. They are about to FO.

@ThrillaRilla369 Absolutely not.

To the women who are on this app, be honest Are you OKAY with a man claiming to be a woman using the ladies room if you're in there? 🤷🤔

Do you want John Thune to be removed as the Senate Majority Leader? #leaderjohnthune Please retweet to get a larger sample size.

@Markmaycott2 Nope. All healed up. I do miss my aerosol cans…

Has the ozone layer still got a hole in it?

As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren’t involved with the HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female-only rape crisis centres? That men don’t belong in women’s sport? That female prisoners shouldn’t be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain a protected class in law, because they have sex-specific needs and issues? That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context? That women shouldn’t be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex? That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights? That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic society? That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma-experienced, should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit? That gay people shouldn’t be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smeared as ‘genital fetishists’ when they don’t? That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren’t actually oppressed, but having the time of their lives piggybacking off gender identity ideology? That said ideology, and the privileged, blinkered fools pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves, have done more damage to the political left’s credibility than Trump and Farage could have achieved in a century? Let me have your thoughts.

@DowdEdward Gotta give them credit for trying!

Don’t even think about it. 🤣😂🤡
