@JDwithTW As long as Eisenhower's sword is save this trip.

Had I been invited to the lunch with King Charles, I would have brought along the copy of the Senate Manual that he was given during his 1970 visit to the Capitol, which he must have accidentally misplaced because I found it in a used book store for $20

@RDog861 And then the National Guard charged in with weapons drawn. They were all lucky they didn't shoot each other.

I've been a retired cop for 18 years but when I was working, we were taught that the pistol always followed your eyes. As you can see here, that's not the case and I'm not picking on her because she's female. Has the training changed?

@KhymaniJames Returning to the U.S. share.google/ZrIAlnzU1FDPO8…

How is it that I, A U.S CITIZEN, am being told that I can’t RE-ENTER THE U.S by AMERIKAN CBP officers in CANADA? All because I said NO to searching my personal electronic devices?? What the FUCK is going on????? CANADIAN BORDER PATROL OFFICERS ARE CONFUSED JUST LIKE ME!!!!!!

@Nomads_Crypto_ @KhymaniJames CBP had been demanding electronic devices from U.S. citizens. They are trying to collect all your social media for their mega surveillance database. If you say no they can detain you while they attempt to get a warrant from a judge. You should delete all apps and photos.

I am VERY Curious why they want to search your phone. This makes Zero Sense to me. If they have Something incriminating on you. They should Just detain you and Get the Phone as Evidenced....... I wonder what's really going on here. I'm sure we aren't being told the entire story. Considering I still don't know why they asked to see your phone.

@swampfox46 @NickFondacaro The shooter was one staircase away from the ballroom. He made it through two layers of security. Several protestors were also inside the Hilton. They approached Hedgeseth as he arrived.

@NickFondacaro And people who were actually IN the ballroom tell a much different story about the layers of security. The clown you are posting about barely got to the outer ring of security.

MS NOW host Symone Sanders Townsend recounts how poor security was at the WHCD. She says she was able to roll up to the front door on a scooter and security did not ask to see her ID nor see her ticket, they assumed she was a guest at the hotel: "I actually showed up to the Hilton shortly after 8 P.M. And I actually took a scooter right up to the front of the Hilton driveway. And this matters because, as you know, usually there's a lot of protesters outside that's outside of those barricades before you can actually enter into the driveway of the Hilton. But this year, there are no protesters outside. I come to find out the people were actually milling about into the lobby. When I got off of the scooter and into in front of the barricade, usually you have to show ID and a ticket. The folks, the security at the gate, these were not agents, the Secret Service agents. They were not identified as Secret Service agents that I could see at the gate, but they did not ask me to show ID, and they did not ask me to show a ticket. They said, 'Oh, you're good. I'm sure you're going to your room.' I am not staying at the Washington Hilton. As I entered into the driveway, I saw the president's vehicle. The Beast was driving around in the circle of the Hilton driveway, and people walking around near it, taking photos. Secret Service was not keeping a perimeter. And it went around about two or three times while I was outside. When I entered into the Hilton, I asked Secret Service agents, which I saw they were identified as Secret Service agents, which way the ballroom was, and they said they didn't know. When I finally got my way onto elevator, no one asked me to show ID. No one asked me to show a ticket. I got all the way down to the red carpet area without ever showing a ticket to anyone in the Hilton. I am saying it like this because this is unusual."

@JamesWi03763707 @luxemiaa Unfortunately they can deny you boarding if you try to push back against a gate agent. This on the plane crap is usually unreasonable requests the GA already said no to.

@luxemiaa Happened to my daughter last week on cross country flight.Gate agent called her up and asked if she would switch her window seat for a mother with 2 kids(6 and 10) so they could sit together.She reluctantly agreed. Sat in back nonreclining seat next to BR. This has got to stop.

@miles_commodore I showed up at opening hour election day for every presidential election from Reagan to Obama. I have never stood in line less than an hour and up to three. I stood in line 1 hour in 2016 to vote on the preceding Saturday. I mailed in my ballot in 2020 and voted early in 2024.

I’m a simple guy so maybe I’m missing something. Absentee ballots should be extremely rare, people should show up in person to vote with ID, Election Day should be a Federal Holiday, and every county should have enough locations to vote. I don’t get it.

@intrvrtdintrvrt Local weather forecast calls for a "comb over alert" meaning it's so windy the hair you comb over the bald spot will not stay in place.

genuine question for english speakers: is there a way to say that its really fucking windy, violently windy like an idiom or a fixed phrase of some kind? something for when you go outside and want to complain

@LVREChronicles He's not getting much for an EV with a household outlet and an extension cord. Is he just charging his phone or a power tool he's using for the job?

There's a contractor at my house today and he's driving an EV. Dude parks at the end of my driveway and runs an extension cord from an external outlet on my house and he's been charging his car this whole time. Am I wrong that this is bothering me?

@EastEndJoe I'm still waiting for reporting on the young scantily clad dancers from the Halloween party.

I find this very disturbing. Who in their right mind would send their teenage daughter to Mar a Lago? Fucking idiots!!

Hegseth Strikes Two Black and Two Female Officers From Promotion List nytimes.com/2026/03/27/us/… I'm waiting for an analysis of tv/social media recruitment ads for the army and military. I'm seeing some troubling trends. (White men are in combat, Black men are cooks???)

@Bitcoin_Teddy I paid $500/month rent on a shared apartment with under $880 take home. I paid another $75/month on my student loan. I took the bus to work and carried peanut butter sandwiches in for lunch. I could not afford to go out or travel home for the holidays for most of my first year.

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@ick_real Make sure you get the 401k match at work.

I’m 23. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@kevinblue345 I have been very disturbed by the military recruiting ads on X and elsewhere. It seems only white men are represented. There is a black soldier in a food service position. The ads about the 10th Mountain Division during the Olympics were the most cringe worthy.

Historically white U.S. soldiers frequently refused to salute Black officers U.S Secretary of War Pete Hegseth saluted all of the white soldiers exept the black soldier. Failing to salute an officer based on race is a serious violation of military protocal that lead to discipline

@glenn_tunes It's fed over the airwaves and on the internet, a bad media diet.

IS THERE SOMETHING IN THE WATER OR THE FOOD IN RED STATES IN AMERICA THAT TURNS PEOPLE IN TO BRAINWASHED IDIOTS 🤔
