@captain_shart @DaleStarkA10 @CaseyPutsch Actually they are May 5th here in Ohio, but thanks. @CaseyPutsch

@SCLightning2015 @DaleStarkA10 @CaseyPutsch Good luck my friend. The primaries are over.

Picture a major airline captain who flew F-4s in Vietnam. Now run that guy. Not sure why the GOP makes this so difficult.

@captain_shart @DaleStarkA10 Well I do live in Ohio And Vivek is a HARD PASS @CaseyPutsch

So would rather him do the following: Not be honest? Renounce his religion? Argue his religion is better? Walk away and not answer? Vivek went to a catholic highschool. You don’t live in Ohio and are trashing someone you don’t know or have to live with as your governor. Be better.

@BroteinShake17 @ATFHQ It a shame I cannot like this more

@miamimaxxer @ThomBrady5 @L0m3z So freaking true

@ThomBrady5 @L0m3z Eisenhower tried to warn us, Trump was the only one who listened besides maybe Nixon.

I basically share Blake’s view. I’m opposed to war with Iran not because it’s bad in and of itself but because the consequences of a war like this are too indeterminate, and history tells us can often spiral into ugly, protracted entanglements that make the geopolitical problem you’re trying to solve worse rather than better. It doesn’t mean the geopolitical problem isn’t real or worth trying to solve, only that dropping bombs and crossing your fingers for successful regime change tends not to work very well. It’s also the case that it’s bad politically for this to drag out. Political capital is in some sense zero sum and using time and energy and public good-will to prosecute this war can make the other stuff harder to get done and signals administrative priorities that are misaligned with the domestic concerns that are front and center in the vast majority of American’s minds. There’s also a very real generational disconnect here. Iran is one of these legacy boomer fixations that most younger Americans simply don’t care about. Again, this is not to say that Iran isn’t bad or a geopolitical nuisance or even a security threat, only that the case for this kind of action isn’t obvious or clear to most voters under the age of ~55. The pitch is mostly falling on deaf ears. But okay, it’s happening. It behooves the admin to do this very quickly and surgically and apply max pressure to regional partners to pick up a lot of the slack so we can get out of there as soon as possible. Letting this become a millstone that hangs around the administration’s neck for any significant period of time risks continuing to successfully deliver on the primary issue of immigration, and associated domestic concerns, which is what really matters. God bless Trump. He is real, and I am not. His entire presidency exists in defiance of the political laws and constraints that seemingly keep everyone else from successful action. That this will be another case of Trump doing what only Trump can do is not an unreasonable expectation. We’ll see.

@grok @JohnMwangiDiani @Will_Tanner_1 Lol lol lol

The Rudd Concession (1888) from King Lobengula granted the British South Africa Company exclusive mineral rights across Matabeleland and Mashonaland, in exchange for monthly gold payments, 1,000 rifles, ammunition, and a steamboat. Lobengula later disputed it as mining-only, but the BSAC used it for a 1889 royal charter and the 1890 Pioneer Column settlement. Following the Matabele Wars (1893–97) by conquest, the Company alienated prime land to European settlers—often at low or no cost—while assigning Africans to reserves. No widespread direct purchases occurred from tribal occupants; rights stemmed from the disputed concession, charter, and military outcomes.

It is important to remember that this was true from the beginning Even when Cecil Rhodes put together the Pioneer Column and sent it north, he looked for high-quality, well-educated men of good character to embark upon the expedition, not the rogues of empire He found them, screening thousands of applicants down to under 200 men of all social classes but immense quality Rhodesia then based itself on that principle moving forward, and its immigration policy was fine-tuned to only bring in the best men. Men who were of high-quality and would acclimate to Rhodesia's unique, excellence-oriented way of life And those men built civilization out of nothing in the space of a few generations, before the British and Americans worked with the communists to destroy it in the name of equality

Congrats @cohenb1215 on his commitment to further his academics and play baseball at Otterbein University.

Did you know Mr. Redlegs is actually one of history’s greatest villains? He is, and I have the proof. Link below ⬇️

@dotsonc I was 12 Watched in my living room. It was a “school night” but was allowed to stay up late while game was on West Coast ..Red were “suppose” to lose to Pirates of Bonds and Bonilla. Reds had “no chance” against BASH BROTHER’s of Oakland. And yet…

Do you remember where you were at this precise moment? When Todd Benzinger caught that pop up? I do.

@ramzy Go Bucks

@CynicalPublius I am a Cincinnati Reds fan. You could trust me to guard Fort Knox!

There are five kinds of people I instantly distrust: 1. People who don’t like dogs. 2. People whose “favorite” sportsball teams coincidentally just won the league championship. 3. People who have the right of way at a four-way stop yet insist on waving you through to be “polite.” 4. People who are rude to wait staff in restaurants. 5. Veterans who run for political office as a Democrat.

@Mark_S_Phillips @BostonMassUSA My wife has this quote framed and hanging in our home!

@BostonMassUSA If you say appa-LAY-sha I'll throw an apple at cha.

Appalachian Mountains stretch from Canada to Mississippi. People from the Carolinas and the Virginias are pronouncing it WRONG.

@Pratikb17 @chrisbrunet @Cloudwatch199 @juicystar1908 In fact..you are sh!t posting from India…so absolutely F**k 0ff

@Pratikb17 @chrisbrunet @Cloudwatch199 @juicystar1908 Yeah, actually…I do. And no, there is no “magic soil” to let you come here and tell me my homeland’s heritage.

She messed up BIG BIG TIME. I reported this individual’s conduct to the proper authorities and will continue to pursue every lawful remedy. @juicystar1908 publicly targeted and threatened a U.S. citizen while she is a foreign national awaiting a visa , that’s harassment and may have legal consequences. I have already notified @FBI, my local law enforcement, and Colorado AG @pweiser. I demand a public apology from @juicystar1908 to (Sidharth Iyer ) ,the innocent individual she doxxed and that @X immediately investigate the coordinated doxxing and harassment. My advise : Don't ruin an innocent man's life and mess up your own wedding. I hope other civil rights organizations are standing by to support the victim and ensure this pattern of abuse is fully documented and addressed. We will use the law and platform policies not mob tactics , to hold bad-faith actors accountable.

@EricaArndts I drive by this barn everyday to work (for locals it near the I-71 and St Rt 73 interchange, more Wilmington than Waynesville). Beautiful design..Well done young lady!

Hello X! I’m Erica Arndts, a muralist painting across America. I’m humbled the nearly 10,000 followers joining my journey overnight! My recent paintings and murals honor Trump after his shooting in Butler, PA, and Charlie Kirk on a Waynesville, Ohio barn. I’ve also created murals across the world in Mexico, Italy, France, and Indonesia! Another HUGE project is coming soon, it’s going to be special. Make sure you're following along to see what's next!

Congrats to @edwardsaj18 on his first outing for Ohio Christian U!

@GovPressOffice You are a f&gg0t

Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today. You’re welcome, America.

@jbendery That is you..you dumbfu*k

A DC resident shared this photo she took at Union Station yesterday. Looks like a scene from the Handmaid's Tale, but no, just another day of Trump's militarization of DC right now. #UnderHisEye
