@Oilfield_Rando Let's not get fooled. Catching the most obvious offender doesn't mean the fraud stopped. You can't fix a stupid idea by stopping the worst example. Look at the image itself. The problem isn't gone until the news is sick of bringing microphones.

@SomeBitchIIKnow But grok has repeated assured me "Who to follow" is based on some sort of algorithm, and not just some random dem-of-the-day scheme.

There's not a single chance in hell that he is actually offering $50/hour. He's upset that Americans won't work for $12/hr doing that job. He's demanding we keep the illegals who WILL do that job for $12/hr

@nicksortor Hey, when I was in Navy bootcamp, I forgot my cap at the dentist when I was all buzzed-out after getting my wisdom teeth removed. Is that the kind of infraction we're talking about here?

🔥 AWESOME! President Trump just ABSOLVED all Coast Guard cadets of their conduct infractions "I hereby absolve all cadets who are on restriction for minor conduct infractions—and even somewhat major infractions, effective immediately." "You guys got away with MURDER!" 🤣 "I was just in a good mood. I was in a very good mood today."

Hiring THREE shaky handheld camera operators to sit inches from you, while pretending they aren't there, is a sure sign that it didn't work.

I watched a recent talk by Alan Kay, the personal computer pioneer from the 70s. He's a raging TDS liberal, but finally seems to have noticed that the innovation he participated in is impossible now. He bought a Palo Alto house within walking distance of his research lab for twice his annual salary. Now, he says, that same house costs like 4 million. It isn't going to happen in silicon valley. It can't! People who come up with radically new things rarely have the ability to take risks when it means locking yourself into that kind of situation.

The urban-rural split started when elites ignored the factory towns. Ignore this one and watch the next political earthquake hit the college-educated middle class. History doesn’t repeat. It just finds new victims. What’s your take? Learning yet? 🔥

Remember the 90s? NAFTA hit in ’94. Factories started closing. 80,000 American plants gone. Rural towns like Danville, VA lost 6,500 mill jobs in eight years. No tech hub replaced them. Just vacant buildings and tripled overdose deaths. “Nobody in power cared.” Sound familiar? 🧵👇 @realDonaldTrump @RepBrandonGill @SenEricSchmitt @RonDeSantis @RepEliCrane

Why are cities liberal and rural areas conservative? I thought I knew the answer, but discovered that it's a new phenomenon. The rural/urban divide occurred in my lifetime. Here's what happened ...

This is how some bananas are packaged in South Korea to delay over ripening before you’re ready to consume. Pretty cool.

@typecraft_dev Good God, the outfits still? They make the students wear those, because otherwise some weirdo would try to go naked. Every time.

@ChristianHeiens Let's hold on a minute. It wasn't "Older homeowners" in my district that voted for a $50 million high school that will never get paid off. It's an influx of foreigners who think money falls from the sky.

And they’re absolutely right. This is one last “fuck you” by the most selfish generation in American history, who can’t bring themselves to sell their empty nest for a young couple who wants to start a family. We have socially engineered everything about American society to cater to the Boomers at every stage of their lives. When they were young, we dismantled centuries of traditional American society to cater to their Progressive values. When they entered the workforce and began acquiring assets, we began to reorder the entire economy around rewarding hyper financialization rather than entrepreneurialism. We capped property taxes in California, had 40 years of structurally falling interest rates, abandoned the gold standard, and began running chronic trade and fiscal deficits to give them asset price inflation and fund their consumption habits. And when they grew old, every aspect of Federal politics became oriented around catering to them. We threw open the borders to mass migration to prop up the massive entitlement system they enjoyed, we borrowed trillions to fund their benefits, and we torched decades of future economic growth and productivity in order to ensure they had a comfortable retirement.

Tate and Scott say abolishing property taxes would overwhelmingly benefit older homeowners, while younger generations already priced out of the housing market get stuck carrying even more of the burden.

Personally, I'm glad my school had separate graduation ceremonies for the hoards of insane humanities and business majors. Fake degree programs should get fake ceremonies. In fact, maybe they should include parents and incoming freshmen. Give them a real "Orientation" instead of walking around campus backwards smelling flowers!

Outrageous! Colleges Plan 'Private' Graduations for Illegal Aliens | Seth Segal, The Gateway Pundit In the latest insanity in academia, according to a Campus Reform report, universities “are hosting separate graduation ceremonies for illegal alien students, often referred to as “UndocuGraduation.” These so-called graduations are being held privately, with locations being “withheld from the public”. Among the schools engaging in this lawlessness is California State University, Stanislaus (Stanislaus State). “The university lists the location as ‘private’ and states that the ceremony honors’ undocumented students, students from mixed-status families and their UndocuAlly supporters.” This, in essence, rewards defiance of federal law. Eighty graduates have registered to attend this unlawful ceremony. In addition, the University of Washington is also engaging in this rewarding of illegal behavior. They are calling it an “Undocu Graduation Celebration.” “According to the university’s website, the event is supported by the Office of Minority Affairs and Diversity and organized by Leadership Without Borders, the university’s resource center for illegal alien students.” There is also extensive DEI at the University of Washington. In other words, the school has no respect for federal law, Another California school is the third school Campus Reform confirmed is engaging in rewarding illegal aliens. This school California State University, Long Beach (Cal State Long Beach) hosted a “Beyond Borders Celebration” somehow I doubt Mexican universities celebrate open borders for Mexico. “Beyond Borders Graduation empowers students in higher education who are impacted by immigration policy,” a university webpage says. “The last few years have brought uncertainty from the political landscape, yet this community of scholars has accomplished so much and will continue persevering.” Open Borders universities are not confined to California; the fourth university found to engage in this is none other than Rutgers in New Jersey. They are hosting a “Undocumented and DACAmented Graduates” graduation. Rutgers is also hosting a Rainbow graduation, so in other words, the only people not honored with a special graduation at Rutgers are straight White Men. Finally, the fifth school promoting open borders, illegal alien graduations is California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly). This California school, Cal Poly, is hosting a Monarch reception, which “is a time to celebrate the accomplishments and success of Cal Poly undocumented students. It is a celebration for graduating students and their supporters,” a university webpage states. Trending: WATCH: Highly Anticipated Ronda Rousey Versus Gina Carano Comeback MMA Fight Lasts Just 17 Seconds Clearly, these universities are sending a lawless, defiant message to their student body. While not exclusively in California, they seem to be trailblazing, defying federal law and immigration law, especially. The disrespect for this country and its laws is a lesson in itself on the dangers of open borders ideology and how Globalism is a completely irrational ideology. thegatewaypundit.com/2026/05/outrag…

@77WABCradio "Administrative costs" So, stealing is ok as long as a few dozen people sat in an office and got paid to do nothing.

Gavin Newsom’s California spent $23 million on a hearing aid program for kids, but after five years, only 300 hearing aids were reportedly given out. That works out to a staggering cost per hearing aid, while officials say much of the money went toward “administrative and overhead costs.” Millions spent. Kids still waiting. Where did the money go?

I sat outside one that looked promising, but the door had the famous cheap sheet of paper on the door saying they were delivery only. Funny thing, less than a block away another sit-down pizza place was thriving just from people making the same mistake. When are we going to get a list?
