UPDATE: The free nectarine giveaway in California is a success This nectarine farmer is opting to give away his entire 125,000 lbs of ripe nectarines to the public for free Reminder, he says this is because Big Agriculture in California made it impossible for him to harvest and sell his nectarines A handful of large marketers and packers control the market and when smaller farmers get deals, the large corporations severely undercut these smaller farmers to drive them out of business

As the country prepared to celebrate its 250th birthday, President Trump announced the opening of a new exhibition honoring "the Heroes and Martyrs of the American Revolution." bit.ly/4gU00zE

@RepRashida Oh, Representative Tlaib. How wonderfully consistent you are. Never let context get in the way of a good outrage post. Let me make sure I have this right. You want Congress to invoke the War Powers Resolution against U.S. support for a democratic ally fighting HEZBOLLAH -- a group the United States government has designated a terrorist organization. A group that is, by documented intelligence, funded approximately 90% by Iran. The same Iran whose official state policy -- printed on banners, chanted at government-organized rallies since 1979 -- is "DEATH TO AMERICA." Now here is the part nobody in your party wants to talk about. Biden's Autopen handed Tehran $6 BILLION in a prisoner swap. Then another $10 BILLION through Iraq electricity waivers. Over $16 BILLION in documented sanctions relief to the same regime that has been killing Americans since 1983. That money went straight to Hezbollah. Same Hezbollah you are now weeping about on X. So the receipts look like this: your party FUNDED the terrorist organization now firing into civilian areas, and you want to STOP the ally fighting the army your party FINANCED. Quinn's First Law, on cue: liberalism ALWAYS generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. "Bombing children." Rashida, Hezbollah deliberately embeds weapons systems, command infrastructure, and logistics inside densely populated civilian areas. That is not a talking point. That is documented by the UN, by journalists, by anyone who actually read a field report instead of a fundraising email. Targeting that infrastructure causes civilian casualties. It is a war crime -- the one Hezbollah committed by putting civilians in the crosshairs on purpose. Funny how that half of the sentence never makes it into your posts. Your War Powers vote FAILED, by the way. Congress spoke. I thought you believed in democracy. Unless -- ah. Quinn's Law #22: liberals love democracy unless it does not go their way. But what do I know -- I am only someone who read the IRGC's funding ledger before composing an opinion on who funded whom. #MAGA #Veterans @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar @TheYoungTurks

@nypost Once NYC goes belly up who do you suppose will be moving in to take over all that property?

Where have you been in the last year!!! Mr. @StephenKing, with sincere respect for your gift for horror fiction — and I mean that, because your political commentary genuinely IS a horror story — allow me to update you on what has been happening while you were apparently locked in a room with no Wi-Fi. Sen. John Fetterman — A DEMOCRAT, YOUR guy — posted this on X: "Anti-Israel. Anti-America. Anti-Western Civilization. Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?" SELF-IDENTIFIED. Congressman Fine is not calling Democrats communists. DEMOCRATS are calling Democrats communists. Here is what you missed while more confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles about your own party: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani — DSA member, democratic socialist, took office January 2026. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — DSA member, self-described democratic socialist. Rep. Rashida Tlaib — DSA member. Bernie Sanders — self-described democratic socialist who caucuses with YOUR party. And in June 2026, DSA members just defeated Democratic INCUMBENTS in New York primaries — Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier (knocked out a FIVE-TERM incumbent), Brad Lander. All heading to Congress in 2027. DSA stands for Democratic SOCIALISTS of America. It is right there in the name, Mr. King. You do not need my word on any of this. Rep. Josh Gottheimer — a DEMOCRAT — said "The DSA wants a war with commonsense Democrats." NY Attorney General Letitia James — a DEMOCRAT — said Mamdani is "blowing up" the party. Your own people are sounding the alarm and you have the delusions of adequacy to call Congressman Fine a "dumb bunny" for noticing what YOUR party is saying out loud. One more data point: on January 10, 1963, Congressman A.S. Herlong Jr. read forty-five Communist Goals for America into the Congressional Record. Pull it up. Then look at the 2026 Democratic primary results and tell me with a straight face that Fine is imagining things. Your fiction is terrifying, Stephen. Your grasp of current events has all the accuracy of a drunk parrot calling a horse race. If ignorance is bliss, you must be ABSOLUTELY ECSTATIC. The clowns in Pennywise's drain have more political self-awareness than the ones winning Democratic primaries right now — and at least THEY know what they are. But what do I know — I am only a science teacher who reads news that came out in the last twelve months. @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar @TPUSA #MAGA #Trump

This woman needs to go on Rogan’s show and speak for 3 hours explaining WHAT THE HELL IS REALLY GOING ON🫨! I guess when you study something for 50 years (like DJT has) you become an expert on it🇺🇸. This woman has really opened my mind up👊 FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

Good question… 🧐🧐🧐

Time to leave the country!

@priscabdrO @SenMikeLee @SenEricSchmitt @SenTedCruz @HawleyMO @SenRickScott What are we waiting for!

🚨GOOD MORNING X TIME TO GET LOUD If you want the process of removing John Thune as Majority leader by these (5) Senators @SenMikeLee @SenEricSchmitt @SenTedCruz @HawleyMO @SenRickScott Let them know in the comments section... they'll see this, we need to do the right thing.

Alright. I need everyone to look at this. Not skim it. LOOK AT IT. Because what happened in the last 24 hours on this platform is one of the most breathtaking displays of coordinated dishonesty I have ever seen from elected officials -- and I have been watching these people for a long time. I am a science teacher. I grade papers for a living. I know when someone copied. They ALL copied. Let me show you exactly what I mean. @SenWarren: "safe and effective" @PattyMurray: "safe and effective" @RonWyden: "safe, full stop" @RepJohnLarson: "safe and effective. Full stop." @RepBeccaB: "safe and effective" @RepDelBene: "safe & effective" @RepGregStanton: "safe and effective" @SenatorHassan: "safely used for years" @SenatorHick: "safe and FDA approved" @TeamPelosi: "access to mifepristone" SenatorCantwell: "safe medication" SenMarkey: "SAFE and LEGAL" repdeliaramirez: "safe and reliable" That is not a coincidence. That is a MEMO. Someone in the DNC wrote those words, sent them to every caucus member, and these supposed independent representatives of the American people just... pasted it in. Changed a word here. Added an exclamation point there. Slapped their name on it. And then had the audacity to call YOU their constituent. Here is the part that should make your blood boil regardless of where you stand on abortion: these people are telling you -- openly, demonstrably, provably -- that they either did not read the court ruling, are not smart enough to understand what they read, or are perfectly fine lying to your face because they think you are too stupid to check. Pick one. Those are the only options. Here is what the ruling ACTUALLY says -- you know, the document none of them apparently opened: The Fifth Circuit issued a TEMPORARY STAY of the 2023 FDA rule change that allowed mifepristone to be mailed without any in-person medical visit. The drug is NOT BANNED. Not restricted from in-person dispensing. Not removed from any shelf anywhere. It is back to the rule that existed for TWENTY YEARS from 2000 to 2023 -- a rule that nobody called a "nationwide abortion ban" at the time because it was not one then and it is not one now. The ruling was triggered by the FDA's OWN ADMISSION that the 2023 rule had "procedural deficits" and a "lack of adequate consideration." Biden's Autopen's own agency admitted it FAILED to adequately study whether mailing the drug without in-person oversight is safe. The court held the FDA to its own documented standards. That is not extremism. That is administrative law. But sure. Tell your constituents it is a nationwide abortion ban. His dog's trying to teach him new tricks and getting nowhere. Now. Let me go through the highlight reel. @PattyMurray and @SenatorHassan and @RepGregStanton. Oh boy. Sen. Murray wrote "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand." Sen. Hassan wrote "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand." Rep. Stanton wrote -- I want you to read this carefully -- "This ruling is an attack on every woman's right to make her own health care decisions, and it must not stand." WORD. FOR. WORD. Three separate officials. Three separate states. One brain between them and they are sharing it on a rotating schedule. Isn't it dangerous to use your whole vocabulary in one sentence? Because apparently they only have the one. @SenWarren decided that "a conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges" was the headline -- except, Senator, one of the three judges on that panel is a George W. Bush appointee. That is a fact available to anyone who spent thirty seconds on the first page of the ruling. You did not spend thirty seconds. You spent zero seconds. And then reported to your constituents anyway. Running on dial-up in a fiber-optic world and mad at the court for having internet. @RonWyden called it "a nationwide abortion ban." Full stop. Thirty years in the Senate. The man has been in that chamber since 1996. He has seen more legislation than most people have had hot meals. And his contribution to this moment is a tweet calling a mailing rule stay "a nationwide abortion ban." Thirty years of accumulated nothing. I could eat a bowl of alphabet soup and poop out a more accurate legal summary than that. @repdeliaramirez called for making "#RoeVWade the law of the land." In response to an Administrative Procedure Act ruling about an FDA mailing regulation. These are DIFFERENT CASES. Different courts. Different legal questions. Different decades. She does not even know what she is commenting on. More confused than a chameleon in a bag of Skittles and still found a way to get 2,000 retweets on it. @RepBeccaB actually said -- and I quote -- "Whether it's taken at home or in a medical setting has no impact on that fact." No impact. The FDA's own label reports 2.9 to 4.6 percent of women prescribed mifepristone IN PERSON require emergency care. The court record explicitly states mailing without oversight INCREASES those risks. The setting has a documented, quantified, FDA-certified IMPACT on patient safety outcomes. She told her constituents the exact opposite of what the FDA's own documentation states. That is not a misunderstanding. That is a lie with a congressional letterhead. @SenMarkey said "blocking access to it isn't about safety -- it's about control." Senator. The court's ENTIRE analysis -- all 18 pages -- was about safety. Specifically the FDA's own admission that it never adequately studied the mailing safety. The court cited the FDA's documented safety failures. You told Massachusetts the court ruling about safety is not about safety. I genuinely do not know what your problem is, but I am guessing it is hard to pronounce. @TeamPelosi -- the former Speaker of the House of Representatives -- said Republicans "don't like birth control." Mifepristone is not a birth control medication. Birth control PREVENTS pregnancy. Mifepristone terminates an EXISTING pregnancy. These are pharmacologically and legally distinct categories that a Speaker of the House should be able to distinguish. The pilgarlic performance from someone who once wielded the Speaker's gavel is genuinely something to behold. @amyklobuchar -- to be fair -- was the ONLY one who got close to accurate. She said "by mail" instead of inventing a ban. She gets half a point for basic literacy. The bar is subterranean and she barely cleared it but she cleared it. You bring everyone so much joy, Senator. You know, when you leave the room. But still. @CAgovernor Gavin Newsom joined the party. Not a member of Congress -- a governor. But same talking points, same memo, same lies. Newsom is the same guy who apparently once said Governor Greg Abbott "doesn't have the backbone." Governor Abbott, for anyone who does not know, is paralyzed from the waist down due to a severed spine from a 1984 accident. Newsom has more nerve than spine, which is apparently the qualification for running California into the ground. Here is the thing that keeps me up at night. Not the politics. The PATTERN. If a CITIZEN lies to a member of Congress, that is a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001. Up to FIVE YEARS in federal prison. Substantial fines. That is what happens when YOU lie to THEM. If a member of Congress lies to 335 MILLION citizens? That is just a Friday. And that Friday apparently comes with a DNC memo and a coordinated social media rollout and zero accountability whatsoever. Trying to reason with some of these folks is like trying to baptize a cat. But I am going to keep doing it anyway -- because SOMEBODY has to drag these lies into the light, and I have tenure, a science background, and nothing but time. @RepPressley @SenWarren @RoKhanna @PattyMurray @RonWyden @SenatorCantwell @SenatorHassan @RepJohnLarson @RepBeccaB @RepDelBene @RepGregStanton @amyklobuchar @repdeliaramirez @SenMarkey @SenatorHick @TeamPelosi @CAgovernor You are all on record. Every lie. Every talking point. Every copy-pasted word. And I am just getting started. America was founded by geniuses. These people are proof the trend did not hold. But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher and Army combat medic who read the 18-page ruling, can define arbitrary and capricious agency action, knows the difference between a mailing rule and an abortion ban, and understands that when fifteen elected officials post the SAME WORDS on the SAME DAY about a ruling NONE OF THEM CITED -- that is not democracy. That is a poltroon parade dressed up as representation. IF THIS MADE YOU THINK: LIKE this post so the algorithm shows it to people who need to read it. SHARE this -- every single share matters. There is someone on your timeline right now being lied to by one of these names. COMMENT "YES" below if you want me to keep calling them out by name. One by one. With receipts. Because I have all of them. JOIN Bski's Classroom community on X or YouTube. Subscribe to my account -- about the cost of a cup of coffee a month. Your support keeps this classroom open. And I promise I will never run out of material as long as the left keeps trying to out-dumb itself. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump Let me add one more thing. And yes, I am going to repeat it. Because it is THAT important and some things deserve to be said twice. Quinn's Law Number One: "Liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent." Read that again. Every. Single. Time. These fifteen officials told you they are fighting FOR women. They told you they are protecting women's health. They told you this ruling puts women's lives at risk. But here is what they did not tell you -- because not one of them read the ruling. The FDA's OWN safety label states that 2.9 to 4.6 percent of women prescribed mifepristone IN PERSON require emergency care. The court record -- the 18 pages none of them opened -- explicitly documents that mailing the drug WITHOUT in-person medical oversight INCREASES those emergency care risks. Louisiana showed $92,000 in Medicaid costs from real women who ended up in real emergency rooms from mifepristone complications in 2025 alone. Nearly 1,000 cases per month. The court reinstated in-person oversight BECAUSE women were being harmed. Let that land. The ruling these members of Congress are calling an "attack on women" was issued BECAUSE women were getting hurt WITHOUT proper medical supervision. The in-person requirement they are screaming about EXISTS to make sure a doctor is present when complications occur. Reinstating it is not a war on women. It is a basic medical safety standard that these officials -- in their coordinated, memo-driven, copy-pasted outrage -- are actively fighting to REMOVE. Quinn's Law Number One. They say they are protecting women. Their position, if it succeeded, would result in MORE women in emergency rooms with NO doctor present. The exact opposite of their stated intent. Every single time. Without exception. You could set a watch by it. I want to say that one more time for the people in the back who are still reading the talking points memo instead of the court document. THEY. ARE. FIGHTING. TO. REMOVE. MEDICAL. OVERSIGHT. FOR WOMEN. While telling you they are protecting women. And here is the part that should stop you cold. Not one -- NOT ONE -- of the fifteen names I tagged in this post can tell you what a woman IS. Their party spent years insisting that only a biologist can define a woman. Well. I am a science teacher. I will do it for free. A woman is an adult human female -- the sex of an organism that produces large gametes, organized around ovarian development and the reproductive anatomy that supports gestation. That definition comes from developmental biology, evolutionary biology, endocrinology, and medicine. It is in the textbooks. It is not controversial in any field that studies living organisms. But ask @SenWarren. Ask @PattyMurray. Ask @RoKhanna. Ask @repdeliaramirez -- who cannot even identify which court case she is commenting on, let alone which biological category she is defending. They cannot define a woman. They cannot tell you what a woman is. But they are absolutely certain -- CERTAIN -- that they know what is best for women's bodies, women's healthcare, and women's lives. And they know it so thoroughly, so completely, so confidently, that they do not need to read the ruling. They do not need to check the FDA's own safety data. They do not need to acknowledge the real women in Louisiana emergency rooms. They do not need to define their terms. They just need the memo. Paste it in. Hit send. Collect the fundraising email donations that go out twenty minutes later. That is not advocacy. That is not protection. That is not fighting for anyone. That is using women as a political prop by people who cannot even name what a woman is -- while simultaneously fighting to strip away the medical supervision that exists specifically to keep women safe. Quinn's Law Number One. The exact opposite. Every time. I am a science teacher. I have spent my career explaining how the natural world actually works rather than how people wish it worked. Reality does not care about your talking points. Biology does not care about your memo. And the women in those Louisiana emergency rooms do not care about your fundraising email. The truth is the truth whether or not fifteen members of Congress choose to read it. But what do I know -- I am only a science teacher who can define a woman, read a court brief, interpret FDA safety data, and identify when the people claiming to protect someone are actively making the situation more dangerous for that someone. Apparently a rare combination on Capitol Hill. Comment YES below if you want me to keep going. Because I have more names, more lies, and more receipts than they have talking points. @JoJoFromJerz @GuntherEagleman @catturd2 #MAGA #Veterans #Trump
