@BuckSexton Walking Dead first episode was fantastic. And then the series went to shit almost immediately thereafter.

@RepFedorchak Wrong Julie. This directly screws people that love to partake in outdoor activities on our public lands.

@RepFedorchak Bottom line. The hunters and people who love to camp and hike on federal lands are F’d. Thanks for doing the wrong thing again Julie

H.R. 2252 is yet another betrayal to American outdoorsmen. And in this case specifically, to North Dakota outdoorsmen. This time, not only is our delegation in favor of it, they’re actually sponsoring it, driving it, and hoping the major negative implications stay quiet until it’s already a done deal.
After the backlash to Mike Lee’s land‑sale proposal, they know exactly how their North Dakotans constituents feel about losing public access. And because this bill applies only to North Dakota public lands, the responsibility is theirs alone this time around.
What the bill actually does:
It shifts roughly 37,000 acres of already limited BLM land in ND into state trust status, which is a system built around revenue generation, not public access. Under that framework, public access will inevitably get cut off.
North Dakota has less than 10% public land to begin with, and this bill hands over more than half of BLM land in ND. So we can say goodbye to many hunting units in ND that rely on public land access.
Reach out to Fedorchak, Hoeven and Cramer and tell them to withdraw the bill.

@GrowthEnergy At this time, ethonal is not the right choice. Lower cost per gallon at the pump, but with the car mpg, it’s a wash. And ethonal uses too much of our ground water just to subsidize farmers
English

Apparently, the WSJ editorial board is now in the business of defending higher gas prices — as long as a few refiners profit from it. But no amount of spin changes the reality drivers see on the price at their local gas station: #E15 can sell at a steep discount to E10. growthenergy.org/2026/05/13/res…

@EthanolRFA I have always gotten less mpg when using e15. So cost is a wash, but I think e15 eats up our ground water too much for me to support
English

Why support year-round E15? Answer should be obvious. Lower costs, lower emissions, more energy security, stronger farms. Link:

It’s #E15 eve in the Midwest and DC. Tuesday night for the rest of us.

@ZippyDuvall When I use e15 I get less mpg for my car. So at best this is a wash for me, but we all lose due to the amount of ground water E15 uses. It’s just one more handout to farmers who give their reps money. Pay yo play…..

@K3TripleR I will be taking my technician test soon. And after studying, I find the test incredibly ridiculous. Simply rote memorizing. The first test should focus on etiquette and not interfering with others. So much content out there to learn how to make contacts.

Absofrigginglutly! HF opens up dozens of dozens much more enticing and captivating facets of ham radio than you will find on VHF/UHF alone…The great news is, with the right licenses, you can have the best of both worlds – even with just one radio!

Ham Radio 24-7: "Nobody wants to say it. So I will.
Hundreds of thousands of hams are licensed in this country.
Most of them have never made an HF contact.
Not once.
They passed the test, bought the radio, and somewhere between life getting busy and the learning curve feeling steep — the rig ended up on a shelf. Covered. Silent. Collecting dust next to a framed license that represents a hobby they never fully entered.
And we just… don’t talk about it.
We celebrate license numbers like they mean activity. They don’t.
HF is where this hobby truly lives — the skip, the static, the moment a voice comes through from 8,000 miles away on nothing but an antenna and physics. That feeling is what keeps lifers in this hobby for decades.
But if nobody shows new hams the door to THAT world — we’re not growing the hobby. We’re just growing a list.
If you’re a Tech or General who hasn’t made your first HF contact yet — what’s holding you back? Drop it below.
And if you’re an Extra who made it to the other side — what finally got you there?
Let’s have the real conversation. "

@MNHockeyStar The jump from HS to USHL is big. USHL to D1 is big. D1 to NHL is big.
I’m not sure the HS team would even touch the puck. 30 to 35-0 minimum.

@FBGreatMoments Younger generations likely won't remember Kellen Winslow, despite his HOF status. And likely won't remember Ozzie Newsome. Both were electric to watch.
