@HuskerVB @B1GVolleyball That's a great schedule.

The 2026 B1G opponent slate is here‼️

@PinstripesX @bonchieredstate No, you're not. You're just being a twat.

@bonchieredstate In trying to understand the argument that property tax means the government owns your home.

“But if you get rid of property taxes on primary residences, you’ll have to raise sales taxes!” So what? A consumption tax is always preferable to the state de facto owning your home.

@HelmerVA Two obvious points 1. Everything before the “but” is bullsh1t. Skip the preamble. You don’t respect the constitution you turd. 2. Anytime a politician uses the phrase “common sense”, it means they want to ram something unpopular down the public’s throat.

I’m a gun owner. I respect the Second Amendment. But I can’t accept that the number one killer of children in Virginia is bullets. We can protect responsible ownership and pass common sense measures to keep our communities safe.

@TTallis1505 @MilHistNow No they didn’t. He died a free man in 1980

On this day in 1945, Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz becomes leader of the Third Reich following the death of Adolf Hitler. His first (and last) order of business as Germany's head-of-state will be to surrender the country to the Allies.

@thehill @TheHillOpinion Wait, we have to import people from the third world to fulfil our labor needs, but can't afford to raise our own children? You don't see the obvious connection there?

@Phil44Traum @CuriosityonX Yes. People discovered dinosaur fossils thousands, possibly 10s of thousands of years ago. It would have been more precise for the OP to say in 1864 scientists figured out dinosaur fossils represented an extinct group of animals unlike anything alive today.

@CuriosityonX Honest question: Since most ancient cultures have legends of dragons, is it not plausible that the first fossils were actually discovered thousands of years before1864, and were familiar even if not understood in cultures all over the world?

George Washington died in 1799. The first dinosaur fossil was discovered in 1864. George Washington never knew dinosaurs existed

@ScottyWho69 @Astraeajustice1 Nice bit of circular logic there, Scott. Your brain appears to be broken.

@Astraeajustice1 Sure you do! The first thing I think when I call a bot a bot when they tell me that they're not a bot. Is that they're not a bot.

There's a Star Wars movie in theaters right now???

@Janicebuffy @nicksortor I'd guess they were part of the security detail because they were operating the metal detector, something with which they would presumably have some expertise. Otherwise, don't know🤷‍♂️. Their uniforms clearly identify who they are, though.

@Baptisia7 @nicksortor Why would tsa agents be tasked with being part of this security detail?

🚨 JUST IN: The DOJ has released HIGH QUALITY security camera footage of attempted Trump assassin Cole Allen SPRINTING through the security checkpoint at WHCA’s dinner This is NOT AI generated, like much of the footage posted this week Secret Service is adamant their agent was NOT struck by friendly fire, but was shot by Cole Allen with a 12-gauge shotgun.

@Janicebuffy @nicksortor Same thing they do at airports. Waste people's time and taxpayer money while pretending to provide security. (They are TSA agents).

@nicksortor Just curious what these 2 jackasses are getting paid to do? Certainly doesn’t seem like the type of quality security that would be in the area when the president is in the building.

@frednoel @braxton_mccoy The bridge cost $60 million to build in 1977 ($300 million in today's money). The corrupt Democrats in Maryland today are asking for $5 billion to replace it and aren't planning to get it done until sometime in the 2030s. The graft is unbelievable.

@braxton_mccoy Remember when Biden said it would be rebuilt in 8 months? I had a belly laugh at that and said there was almost no chance of it being done in 4 years.

Pretty funny how when the bridge got hit in Baltimore a bunch of people suspected it was some kind of covert attack. Then when all these other vids started turning up the consensus just became "Oh. Never mind."

@darwintojesus Natural selection is not a random process, it's about as far away from random as you can get.

This is obviously the product of mindless random processes.

@VeryBrexitProbs Our national anthem is about the War of 1812, you dipshit.

Americans love banging on about the War of Independence. They’re quieter on the War of 1812. Here’s why. In 1812, America declared war on Britain. The plan was to march into Canada and annex it. Thomas Jefferson said it would be “a mere matter of marching.” It wasn’t. The Canadians sent them packing. Two years later, the British sailed up the Potomac. American forces collapsed at Bladensburg in what’s still called “the Bladensburg Races” because of how fast they ran. President Madison had already fled to Maryland. The British walked into Washington unopposed. They sat down in the White House, ate the dinner Dolley Madison had laid out for forty guests, used the President’s silver, then set fire to the building. Then they burned the Capitol, the Treasury and the Navy Yard. A freak thunderstorm put the fires out the next day. The British left when they were ready. It’s still the only time a foreign army has captured the US capital. You can see why it doesn’t come up much.

@GovTimWalz GFY

Now let’s work on a joint investigation into the killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good — instead of cherry picking when we seek justice and when we turn a blind eye.

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@brianstelter @PressSec Don't you ever get tired of beclowning yourself?

The White House @PressSec rightly says we must "resolve our differences peacefully." But the way to do that is through SPEECH, including the speech she wants to silence.

@SAshC_Opinions @JenniferSey You're an idiot, Simon. Trying to figure out how to fix that should be your only priority.

@JenniferSey How very brave, excluding a vulnerable minority. Anti-discrimination laws exist for exactly this sort of 'courage.'

I talk to people every day -- athletes, coaches, business leaders, moms -- who agree that women's sports must be protected. That there are no women's sports if we don't do this very basic thing. But so many just aren't willing to say it out loud. They are waiting for it to pass. Or for other people to lead the charge, then join later when there is public critical mass. I understand the hesitation. It can be brutal out here. But how would you convince them of the urgency? The necessity? And that we will get this done so much faster if everyone would screw up their courage and take a stand for reality. What would you say? Honest question! Need your help! FWIW my belief is that there is no magic word, no magical inflection point. We just keep on keepin' on, building support with people willing, and it will grow and grow with time, and eventually it will just seem like everyone knew it all along.

@kinsellawarren Then STFU.

Amy, we know why it is important to you. But for me, at least, I could not give less of a shit about all the culture war stuff. Maybe I'm alone in that regard. (But I don't care about that, either.)

@DailyMail That worked out great when they tried it in the first half of the 20th century. Sure it will be even better this time around

Britain and France should lead new European NATO without help from the US, says ex-chief trib.al/fMASwVu

@icolbowca @just_mindy No, she’s saying a VP of a corporation isn’t equivalent to VP of an NGO. If you weren’t an idiot, that would have been obvious to you. If the government is providing the funding for an NGO’s salaries, then they are absolutely accountable for the pay rate.

a VP salary of a non-profit NGO is not like the VP of a Fortune 500 and that’s how she was being compensated

@tysonbrody ConAgra, Cargill, etc. can well afford to develop their own markets. They don't need some USAID funded NGO to do it for them. Corporate welfare in addition to a waste of taxpayer money.

@kaaalllnnn @allie__voss @TheStroBro You have not the slightest idea what you are talking about.

@allie__voss @TheStroBro Well no, they don’t. They basically pay Fish and Wildlife’s paychecks. The majority of conservation efforts are paid by taxes.

I’m so sick of hearing people say “I’m a conservative, except when it comes to the environment” The conservation movement is ours for the taking, the left has basically abandoned it, conservatives just need to quit dropping the ball
