@garykoepnick @mattvanswol That’s paltry coverage.
A local affiliate for a national interest (DT, NatSec) story.

@mattvanswol You’re literally showing it being covered.
Did you hit your head really hard on something recently?

🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!!!
Divers doing a ROUTINE maintenance check at the Converse Reservoir dam in Mobile, AL...
...just found an underwater IED!!!!
Apparently a grenade-type bomb was sitting submerged at the bottom of a dam that holds an entire city's DRINKING WATER.
It took FIVE agencies: the FBI, ALEA, the Sheriff, Mobile PD, and a maritime render-safe team, to pull it out and detonate it.
Someone put a BOMB in our water supply...
WHERE IS THE NATIONAL COVERAGE?!!!

The California media is terrible.
They missed it.
Ashley Zavala@ZavalaA
Gov. Gavin Newsom on Dana Williamson, says he just heard. When asked about one of her guilty pleas for making false statements (while she was his Chief of Staff), he said “that was wrong.”
English

That’s AILuddite cope.
What job did you imagine you were going to hold for life (assuming you’re not in Congress or on SCOTUS, lol)?
Musk also talks universal high income - abundance, not scarcity.
You’re looping in a zero-sum mindset while the rest of us see the upside: work becoming optional, massive new opportunities, and America leading instead of handing the kill switch to the CCP.
Binary choice. Build here.
Even if we don’t, they will. 🤷🏻♀️
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk He uses a memorable analogy to explain it: work will be like growing vegetables in your backyard — much harder than just buying them at the store, but something people will still do if they enjoy it.

@BettrStranger @FurkanGozukara @MHerskovitz Then have his personal lawyer and now the Dept of Injustice release all the Epstein Files for review! Instead, you bring up Pelosi and other horsecrap!
You should wake up and you will one way or another
English

“Elon says no one will work” is a lazy misread.
He’s said AI abundance could make work optional - a feature, not a bug. Think R&D, travel, creative pursuits, deeper education, sports, wellness, family & social time (the list is long).
He warns we must race to build it safely here so China doesn’t own the future and hold the kill switch. (He’s leading because his real goal is interplanetary.)
Build American AI or hand them the century - and everything beyond it. Binary choice.
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk Respectfully disagree. Elon himself says the quiet part out loud. He says no one will work. He just thinks that it will work out fine.
English

Your best option: Support US AI to counter the real worst case scenario… then move to Lancaster and join the Amish. 🤷🏻♀️
AI capex in the trillions? Yes, because the expected returns are massive productivity gains, new industries, and economic expansion (exactly like electricity, railroads, and the internet, which also looked “unprecedented” at the time).
The only return isn’t “payroll reduction.” History shows tech destroys old jobs but creates far more new ones overall. Plumbing compares just fine: it (and tractors, phones, refrigeration) wiped out millions of farm/ice/lamplighter roles… yet total US employment exploded. ~60% of today’s jobs didn’t exist in 1940.
US AI isn’t a Cormac McCarthy dystopia. It’s the binary choice: Build American AI and lead - or hand the future, the jobs, and the kill switch to the CCP.
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk AI capex is already in the trillions. This unlike anything that has ever happened. You don’t invest like that unless you expect a massive return. And the only return possible is the reduction of payroll. Idiotic to compare plumbing to this.
English

How many jobs did indoor plumbing, electricity, the telephone and refrigeration replace?
Technology sunsets old jobs and creates far more new ones.
The real question: Do we build American AI and lead the future - or hand the jobs, the tech, and the century to the CCP while they sprint ahead with a kill switch we don’t control?
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk How many jobs will Ai replace ? What percent? What will happen to those people? Can we answer that question
English

Are ‘they’ in the room with you right now? 🤣
This has everything to do with China. Your options are binary: American AI (optional, accountable) or CCP China AI (kill switch you don’t hold).
Pause US data centers while they sprint ahead, and the real elites - the ones with a democidal track record and zero individual rights - get the century. Not some cartoon villain “elite” boogeyman.
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk This has nothing to do with China. You are slurping up what they are telling you. This has everything to do with the elite wanting to control even more. Millions upon millions will lose their jobs. And the elite will have even more money and control.
English

Unfounded defamation and pure rage doesn’t make it true.
DJT isn’t a pedophile, that’s recycled smear with zero evidence.
You aren’t paying for the ballroom and never cared who paid when Pelosi was rubber-stamping “you have to pass the bill to see what’s in it.”
Congress is a sewer because of the unaccountable machine, not DJT. Wake up. 🤷🏻♀️
English

@BettrStranger @FurkanGozukara @MHerskovitz Bull crap! I’d rather spend money on NATO then building fucking Ballrooms and Statues of an idiot King with weasels in the Congress like Mike Johnson wiping his butt supporting every moronic idea Donny has!
English

@BettrStranger @elonmusk That kind of thinking automatically assumes there’s a light at the end of the tunnel with these data centers and not a giant dumpster fire. Who’s really pushing these things and why? It’s not for mankind that’s 100% for sure.
English

Pardons aren’t “excusing” crimes - they’re a constitutional tool applied when criteria are met: restitution paid, cooperation with investigators (esp. ongoing cases), or clear signs of improper predication, withheld evidence, or rights violations.
I already laid out the distinctions. Pretending it’s all a simplistic binary ignores those facts. Both parties’ presidents have used this power the same way for decades.
Low-IQ TDS memes and insults don’t refute any of that. They just signal you’re not engaging in good faith.
Do you think the pardon power should never be used at all… or, only when your ‘team’ isn’t in the White House? That would end an important check and balance on Article III.🤷🏻♀️
English

@BettrStranger @Nostradonny @JDVance @WHFraudTF @grok Did they commit fraud? - YES
Is fraud a crime? - YES
Did Trump pardon them? - YES
I will never understand why MAGA will excuse anything & everything the Pedo-in-Chief does or says no matter how illegal or inappropriate it may be....
Serious Question: What's the appeal?

@ProfessorVoluck This isn’t accurate.
Spencer & Heidi’s only home burned to the ground in the Jan 2025 Palisades Fire - no secret second house. They’ve been displaced 16+ months with two young kids. They’ve repeatedly said publicly they can’t afford to rebuild (insurance + skyrocketing post-fire costs + CA regs make it impossible for them).
They have an Airstream trailer craned onto their own burned-out property as a temporary base (utilities like power/water were just connected recently after major delays). Wife + kids have been in a family rental up in Carpinteria/Santa Barbara.
The Bel-Air hotel stay TMZ reported? Temporary/short-term (Spencer says ~6 days in the last month) needed for campaign security amid death threats while he’s running for mayor and calling out the exact government failures (Bass/Newsom) that let 6,000+ homes burn. Cheaper hotels don’t come with armed security.
He’s not “complaining while living large.” He’s living the brutal reality thousands of displaced Angelenos face after the city failed them. The point stands: there isn’t another home. That’s exactly why he’s fighting.
If you dislike the costs and conditions in California - he’s against that too. You can safely assume he would rather have his home built, less expense and not receive death threats.
@spencerpratt

@BettrStranger @AlwaysFlacko @MAGAVoice He complains that he has no money to rebuild and that Heidi and him are struggling financially BUT he’s staying at a $1500/night hotel. There are cheaper hotels and rentals.

@BettrStranger @elonmusk I guess you enjoy following someone as they run off a cliff

@elonmusk One of the first times ever I agree with them. Take a breath on this stuff before it’s too late.

@GovPressOffice This is gonna look just delightful for Memorial Day! 🙄
But then again, to President Bone Spurs, these veterans are suckers and losers, their caskets are photo ops to promote his brand and his response to their deaths is "that's the way it is."

Extras on US historic color…
Indigo dye was the workhorse. Imported from the West Indies or grown domestically (especially in the Carolinas), it produced a fast, color-rich navy blue that held up to weather, washing, and sunlight far better than most alternatives. It was expensive and labor-intensive (fermentation vats, multiple dips for depth), which is exactly why the flag’s blue field looked so saturated and “deep’ - not a washed-out sky blue. Historic flags still hold it today.
• Red came from prized cochineal (vibrant, insect-based) or madder root (earthier) and were relatively lightfast, giving that bold “Old Glory Red” that still pops today. They treated reds with alum (brighter) or tin (scarlet).
• Wool white: Earliest flags were wool, sulfured or ‘lanted’ to achieve cream white. Linen white, had a natural greige or ivory undertone. It was lightened and brightened by ‘crofting’ using sun on grass fields, souring with buttermilk alkalines, or ‘bucking’ lyes made from wood ash (potash), pearl ash, or even stale urine/cow dung for ammonia.

It was going to be ripped out.
This preserves it.
The pool has leaked for decades (millions of gallons lost yearly); routine Interior Dept. fixes don’t require a special vote.
Past major overhauls (e.g., ~$34M Obama-era structural work) used stimulus or specific appropriations, but that wasn’t well executed and didn’t last long. This resurfacing/coating job is under standard agency discretion plus an “urgent” contracting exemption for the 250th anniversary deadline.
The contractor is Atlantic Industrial Coatings: Resealing joints, waterproofing slabs, applying the blue coating, an ozone nanobubbler filtration system and a dedicated maintenance crew going forward (which addresses chronic leaks/algae issues that have plagued the pool for decades). It’s financed in part by park fees.
It’s U.S. flag blue (dark), ‘Indigofera’ or ‘woad,’ an authentic U.S. colonial blue match - an aesthetically pleasing, durable, efficient choice saving a bundle. Subjectively, coordinates with surroundings year round.
And let’s face it, the scunge - that thick green algae, bird droppings, and biofilm layer, has been the real daily reality for visitors far more often than the pristine, profound dark-mirror ideal ‘grey’ preservationists invoke (but rarely saw, if ever, and was about to be ripped out, costing a fortune).
Grey porous, untreated granite also hid disrepair for ongoing preventative maintenance and is a color neutralizer - dampening the pool reflections. Grey highlighted the orange, green and yellow algae mid-spectrum colors that formed. Photos you see were usually post-edited, taken from a distance and at a certain angle or time of day to hide that. Flag blue will still reflect incredibly, with other advantages beyond higher contrast and vibrancy on the mirror image. Plus, it’s a stunning ‘postcard’ background choice for seasonal skies, day to night, the U.S. authentic signature color (others being madder root red or linen white). The human eye doesn’t detect red or indigo violet on the farthest spectrum ends without a deep blue background to assist - so just imagine cherry blossom season and twilight mirrors going forward. ‘Wow’ factor, increasing park revenues. The coating is smooth - with better filtration, so that’s easier to maintain against microorganisms and reduces ongoing expense.
U.S. blue has another advantage. The Obama era LED lights that received so many complaints because they give off a ghoulish green glow on the pathways below the tree canopy will look better. The tones will have more of a jewel effect - emerald and natural underlit tree display at night now. They were stark against the warm glow of the monuments before.
Before - After (mathematically adjusted to historic Indigofera).⬇️
