@drantbradley @ogafroman I've seen what happened to him happen to white people, too. It should unite us.

I’m wondering if @ogafroman may be able to end ideological tribalism in America & unify the country with his trial. Every freedom-loving American, regardless of political party, is celebrating with him right now!

A man was stabbed during an argument at the Western Blue Line station in Logan Square overnight. He’s at least the fourth person stabbed on CTA trains in 10 days. cwbchicago.com/2026/03/man-st…

🚨 Japan to send help to open Strait of Hormuz

@GadSaad I live in a place where a lot of Jews are rabidly liberal except when it comes to Israel. They push the whole "trans women are women" schtick, and "all cultures are equal" and voted for Kamala. The right hates this. But they also support Israel, which the left can't stand.

I have obviously been exposed to the worst manifestations of Jew-hatred imaginable beginning in my childhood in Lebanon. But I must say that seeing people whom I have been on very friendly terms, and in some instances have promoted their voices, delve into Nazi-level Jew-hatred is tough to process. How did I sit down at a table with such an individual? Did they hate me then but hide it? Or did they develop their current positions recently?

In the last ten days on the CTA, 4 people have been stabbed and a man with 30 prior arrests was captured on video threatening white passengers with a hammer. Looks like @ChicagosMayor's safety plan to stop unchecked crime on the CTA is really delivering results.

Black people seem to be realizing white liberals are not their friends. Good. Now realize this: neither is their ideology. Seeing yourself as a “black victim” for the last 80 years has made you and everything about you culture corny. You’re losing influence because of it.

We're told there is a suspect in custody. Also told there is extensive video evidence. There is so far no indication that anything preceded the murder. It continues to appear unprovoked, random.. If the suspect is charged, his background will be a talking point we're told.

This is MMA fighter Sean McInnes. When Anne Marie Boyle asked him to leave her alone, he punched her in the face so hard that he broke her cheekbone and her eye socket, knocked her unconscious, and left her with a life-altering brain injury. He was given less than two years behind bars. It would be a real shame if this post was widely circulated and impacted his career in a negative way.

• be Torakusu Yamaha • the son of a low-ranking samurai astronomer in 19th-century Japan • obsessed with Western machines, you make a living repairing watches and medical equipment • 1887: a local elementary school has a broken American reed organ. Nobody in the small town knows how to fix it. • you take it apart, realize it’s just two broken springs, and easily repair it • but instead of just handing it back, you realize: "If I can fix this, I can build it." • you draw a blueprint of the inside of the organ and build the very first Japanese-made reed organ from scratch • you show it off. People tell you it sounds terrible. • most people would quit. You sling the heavy wooden organ over your shoulder on a bamboo carrying pole. • you physically carry it 160 miles (250 km) on foot, trekking over the brutal Hakone mountains just to reach the Tokyo Music Institute to get real feedback from experts • the professors play it. They tell you the mechanics are brilliant, but the tuning is completely wrong. • you don't get defensive. You stay in Tokyo for a month, sitting in on university music theory lectures, holding a single tuning fork to your ear until you completely master the mathematics of sound frequencies • you walk 160 miles back home • you build a second organ. The professors test it and declare it "as good as those from abroad." • you found Nippon Gakki Co. (which later becomes Yamaha Corporation) • you decide to make your company logo three interlocking tuning forks to remember the pain and discipline of learning music theory from scratch • decades later, your company uses its piano woodworking expertise to build wooden airplane propellers in WWII • after the war, the company uses its new metallurgical expertise from the airplane engines to build motorcycles • you accidentally create a timeline where repairing a broken elementary school organ directly leads to the creation of the Yamaha YZF-R1 superbike • absolute, relentless horizontal integration based purely on figuring out how things work The ultimate testament to reverse-engineering reality.

You guys, holy crap. I went to see an elderly lady this morning to give her a bid on lawn care for the summer and junk removal. I believe I hit what would be called a gold mine! She was very happy with my bids, I got the jobs, AND she is the organizer of a large bunko/bridge/rummy group !! She says they have about 100 normal players, she took like 50 of my cards and said “I’ll hand these out hand have everyone use your services”! Wow! Just wow!

why I’ve learned making a truly American-made, American-wool sweater is so darn difficult: because there is no simple leap from sheep to finished garment. there are a whole lot of steps in between, and each one is a potential choke point requiring specialized equipment, labor, expertise, and scale that the US has largely lost through globalization, offshoring, regulation, and industrial collapse. it’s incredibly hard to centralize into one efficient domestic pipeline. Instead, wool often gets shipped all over the country between steps, or exported raw, which wrecks both economics and traceability. all the steps from sheep the sweater: 1. wool grown on American sheep farms (sheep numbers are way down; much of the wool clip comes from meat breeds or coarser fleeces, with fewer apparel-grade flocks) 2. shearing (a brutal seasonal trade with too few skilled shearers left) 3. skirting, sorting, and grading the raw fleece (manual quality control to remove manure, tags, and junk, and to separate by fineness, length, and overall quality) 4. scouring (washing out lanolin, grease, dirt, and vegetable matter. this is one of the biggest bottlenecks in the whole chain) 5. carding, and combing if a worsted yarn is desired (to align fibers into sliver or roving for spinning) 6. spinning into yarn (another major bottleneck, especially at commercial scale) 7. dyeing the yarn, or sometimes the fiber/top (a specialized and heavily regulated process) 8. knitting the sweater panels, or the full garment (requires expensive industrial machinery and people who know how to run it) 9. assembly (linking and seaming panels, attaching sleeves, collars, and finishing components) 10. finishing (fulling, washing, blocking, labeling, inspection, and quality control) one weak link, one mill closure, one missing processor, and the whole batch can die or take too long to keep economically viable. that’s why real American-wool sweaters are rare and expensive. Not because nobody wants them, but because the domestic infrastructure to make them at scale barely exists.

Do you truly understand what Japan just gained? As a Japanese citizen, I’m telling you—this moment changed history. Trump's Pearl Harbor joke wasn't an insult. It was the key that finally unlocked something buried deep in the Japanese soul. For 80 long years, we've carried apology and guilt like a permanent shadow—haunted by the past, bound by the Constitution America wrote for us, forever in "reflection mode." He turned that raw wound into a shared laugh between equals. No more endless atonement. No more vassal shadow. The curse is broken. Japan is free now. Thank you, Mr. President. We're allowed to stand tall again—as true partners, not subordinates. The strongest alliance in the world is rising—equals, brothers, ride-or-die. #PhoenixRising

I loaned my 1971 Lincoln to a highschool as a teaching aid. They were learning classic restoration on it. Look at the miracle they pulled off:

Bukele tirando fiação exposta das ruas de El Salvador Pode ser o início de algo surreal na América Latina

@wil_da_beast630 No. They do have blasphemy laws, but they apply to all religions, require intent, and are rarely enforced.

My (Allah). This real?

🚨 Meet Christian Maxwell, she won her primary in (IL-01) with (65%) of the vote She ran on cleaning up the voter rolls and getting the Save America Act passed Anti- establishment and represents a seismic shift of blacks joining the (R) party Let's give her a big MAGA welcome

Self deported then got his permanent residency 2 weeks later Just follow the process the legal way 🇺🇸

This is, unfortunately - we can't cleanse with fire - completely false. The main drivers of debt are Social Security for mostly-white elders, Medicare for white x ADOS elders, Medicaid for poor people (some illegals here), and WAR. 80-90% of payments into and out of the 1st three are, assuming everything that my nephew Shirley does, legitimate. There is no magic button here. Look up "relatively uncontrollable spending:" the problem is our current governmental frame itself.

This is what the death penalty was for.

@PrishaMosley Oh, my goodness. I hope you're on the mend.

I somehow contracted scarlet fever. 🥵 Haven’t been having the best time.
