New photo just released of other friends visiting Mitch McConnell today. He really looks great! Hang in there!

@kferullo @Chicago1Ray Biden's physician:

@Chicago1Ray Biden took a cognitive test? No chance, or that Dr should lose his license

The President has to take a cognitive test every yr...why don't Senators have to do the same Even after a devastating fall by McConnell, he was still allowed to vote against Pete Hegseth in his confirmation hearing We need term or age limits in Congress

@EricLDaugh She can get a job in Portland by tomorrow

🚨 UPDATE: This Fort Worth TX police officer is facing mass demands to be FIRED after she issued a citation warning to a Christian preacher for "OFFENSIVE SPEECH" This is AMERICA, not Europe! She straight up claimed: "If someone is offended by your talking, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" The man, a retired cop, fires back: "That is a constitutional violation!" Officer: "If they're offended—" Man: "I don't CARE if they're offended." Officer: "OK, we'll right you a TICKET!" OUTRAGEOUS!

Happy 250th to the greatest country on Earth. Drop a flag if you're grateful to be an American.👇 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

40 people shot, 8 killed in Chicago over this Fathers Day/Juneteenth weekend Reminder: This is Nixon's fault

It’s going to get much worse for our British Brothers and Sisters. The World Economic Forum has replaced Keir Starmer with Psychopath Andy Burnham that will further descend their Country into darkness and despair.

**The nearest star system we consider to have a potentially habitable planet is the Proxima Centauri system (part of the Alpha Centauri triple-star system), about 4.24 light-years from Earth.** Its planet **Proxima Centauri b** is the closest known exoplanet in a star’s habitable zone (where liquid water could potentially exist on a rocky planet’s surface).6 Proxima Centauri itself is the closest star to our Sun (a red dwarf), with Proxima b orbiting it every ~11.2 days at a distance of about 0.05 AU. The planet has a minimum mass of roughly 1.06–1.3 Earth masses and receives about 65% of the stellar energy Earth gets from the Sun, placing it in the conservative habitable zone.7 ### Key Caveats on Habitability It is only a *candidate* for habitability. Major uncertainties remain: - Proxima Centauri is a flare star that emits intense X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation, which could strip away a planet’s atmosphere over time. - The planet is likely tidally locked (one side always faces the star), leading to extreme temperature differences. - It is unknown whether it retains a substantial atmosphere or has liquid water on its surface. Despite these challenges, it remains the strongest and nearest candidate by far. Other nearby systems (e.g., a candidate gas-giant planet around Alpha Centauri A, slightly farther at ~4.37 light-years) are not considered habitable in the same rocky-planet sense, and farther systems like GJ 1002 b (~15.8 ly) or TRAPPIST-1 (~40 ly) are much more distant.20 Here is a visualization of the Alpha Centauri system (A and B are the bright pair; Proxima is the faint red star to the right): XstfQ“LARGE” And an artist’s impression of what Proxima Centauri b might look like from its surface (with the red dwarf star in the sky): UsLui“LARGE” ### Travel Time to Proxima Centauri Even at the speed of light, it would take **4.24 years** one-way (ignoring acceleration). With real technology, the times are vastly longer: - **Current spacecraft technology** (e.g., Voyager 1’s speed of ~17 km/s or ~3.6 AU/year): Roughly **75,000 years** one-way.16 - **Fastest current or near-term probes** (e.g., if somehow sustaining Parker Solar Probe’s peak speeds of ~190+ km/s): Still thousands of years. - **Advanced proposed concepts** (e.g., Breakthrough Starshot laser-propelled light sails targeting ~0.2c or 20% the speed of light): Approximately **20–25 years** one-way for a tiny robotic probe (acceleration/deceleration phases add some time but are relatively short at these speeds). Human-crewed missions are not feasible with any near-term or even mid-term technology due to the enormous energy requirements, radiation exposure, life support needs, and the fact that no propulsion system exists that could reach even a small fraction of light speed sustainably. In short, Proxima Centauri b represents our closest realistic target for studying potential habitability beyond our solar system, but reaching it remains firmly in the realm of future (and highly advanced) technology. Ongoing observations with telescopes like JWST and future missions

@KnightChevylamp @irishrygirl @elonmusk It is already known that we will be absorbed by the sun, what remains for us is to colonize other planets, which are far from the sun.🫣

In the future, a trillion times a trillion dollars will be spent on making antimatter to travel to other star systems

This Canadian girl just said what millions are thinking but are too afraid to say out loud. “Can somebody please tell me how we’re still calling Canada a free country?” Then she laid out the receipts: - We can’t access certain news channels without the government or platforms getting in the way. - We can’t even pray in peace without someone trying to shut it down. - Don’t fill out the census? Get fined. - Someone breaks into your house? You can’t defend yourself properly — you can’t even hurt them without risking jail. - We can’t own guns to protect our families. - The government now decides what your kids can see on social media — not you. - And we don’t even get to decide what goes into our own bodies… or our babies’. This isn’t freedom. This is a managed population. Year after year, the Liberals chipped away at it — one “reasonable” restriction at a time — until regular Canadians started asking the question this woman is asking. Mark Carney and the people running this country didn’t inherit a free nation. They inherited one they could control. And they’ve been very busy. If this still feels like “Canada” to you, you’re either not paying attention… or you’re part of the problem. Watch this. Share it. Then ask yourself the same question she did. #cdnpoli #CarneyResign #LiberalFail #Freedom #ParentalRights #SelfDefense #NannyState

Love the idea of going to Mars and having a habitat on the moon, I really do. At the end of the day though, what is it going to accomplish? It will take a staggering amount of our resources to set up a colony on the moon or even Mars. Then what? Will have to constantly resupply those colonies.

@elonmusk How about just feeding the poor, insuring the sick, housing the unhoused..

Here it is: A convicted felon CONFIRMS: California Gavin Newsom’s recall election was RIGGED. “More than 300 mail in ballots for the governor's recall race were found inside a car parked at this torn 7/11 with a man sleeping inside of it— There was Xanax, a gun, meth and other mail” Why do you think Democrats defend and have designated the homeless, illegal aliens, and convicted felons as a protected class?

Gavin Newsom's high speed rail project is nearly $100 billion over budget and won't be completed until 2040. He's permanently disqualified from criticizing the reflecting pool renovation or the White House ballroom ever again.

@TheLoyalNine65 @JRFelisilda @LeaderJohnThune

When the Senate Majority leader tells you he hasn’t seen the bill to stop giving the Taliban $40 million per week that’s been in his possession for 11 months it’s time to investigate. @LeaderJohnThune is in fact compromised

@sciencegirl Surely this will help curtail violent crime in NY somehow. 🫩

The NYPD is using “Barnacles” to tackle illegal parking. These are commercial-grade suction devices that attach to vehicle windows with around 1,000 pounds of force, making them extremely difficult to remove without proper release.

The fall of Portland, Oregon Here are major retailers that left Portland over declining conditions due to Democrat policies from 2022–2026 - Nike Community Factory Store (Operated since 1984, 40 years) Closed permanently because of 276 shoplifting reports in one year. They cited deteriorating public safety. Nike sent a letter to the mayor citing conditions - Walmart (Both Portland Locations)
580 employees laid off - Target (Three Stores)
Reason: Explicitly cited organized retail crime and shoplifting - REI
Reason: Highest break-in rate in two decades; over $800,000 spent on extra security in 2022 (including multiple incidents, one with a vehicle through the doors on Black Friday) - U.S. Bank (U.S. Bancorp Tower) Announced it would not renew its long-term lease
Building Sale: Sold in July 2025 for $45 million (down from $372 million in 2015 — ~88% value decline). - Wells Fargo
Announced plans to exit Portland - Starbucks
Closed at least 5–6 Portland locations in September 2025 alone. - Nordstrom Rack (Downtown)
 - CVS Pharmacy (SW Broadway) Reason: Employee cited shoplifting as a factor Malls Major Retail Centers also closed Pioneer Place Mall: Once had roughly 100 stores. It’s now down to 20. Described as a “dead mall.” • Lloyd Center Mall: Confirmed for full demolition. Now 90% vacant PacWest Center: Sold October 2025 for $55.7 million (down from $170 million in 2016. That’s a 67% drop) - Montgomery Park: Sold August 2024 for $33 million (down from $255 million in 2019, that’s a 87% drop)
