@cliffrhodes @MrPitbull07 Not if they trained for it as long and as hard as she undoubtedly did. Fantastic athletic accomplishment. Nowhere in the post did it mention men at all. Why add vitriol where none existed?

@MrPitbull07 Amazing that one little blonde blue-eyed girl, 5 feet tall & weighing 106 pounds soaking wet, was able to trek 704 miles alone unsupported to the South Pole. This would have killed most men, who are macho body builders, mixed martial artists, race car drivers, & bull fighters.

January 13, 2025. The geographic South Pole. A 21-year-old Norwegian woman stands at the bottom of the world after 54 days of complete isolation, having just pulverized an age record that stood unchallenged. Karen Kyllesø weighs 106 pounds. She's exactly five feet tall. The sled she dragged behind her for 704 miles across Antarctica's frozen wasteland? 220 pounds at departure. More than twice what she weighs. Let that sink in for a moment. Picture yourself hauling double your body weight through temperatures that regularly hit 40 below zero. Alone. For nearly eight weeks. Skiing ten hours daily across ice formations that jut up like frozen daggers. Through blizzards so thick you can't see your own gloved hands. She didn't just break the record for youngest person to reach the South Pole solo and unsupported. She obliterated it by almost six full years, dethroning the previous record holder who was 26 when he completed his trek just one year earlier. But here's what makes this genuinely remarkable beyond the numbers. Karen developed cold-induced asthma partway through the expedition. A respiratory condition she'd never had before, triggered by breathing Antarctic air so frigid it burns your lungs. She carried medication and kept skiing anyway. Seven to ten brutal hours every single day. This wasn't spontaneous adventure. At 15, she became the youngest woman to ski across Greenland's ice sheet. Before her skis had even been put away, she was already asking her mentor about Antarctica. Then came years of methodical preparation. Working shifts on Norwegian fish farms to fund the dream. Winter training in extreme cold. Summer endurance work pulling tires for miles. Fall strength training in the Alps. The hardest part? Gaining weight. She deliberately added 10% to her frame, building muscle specifically to handle a load that would crush most people twice her size. On November 21, 2024, she started from Hercules Inlet. No resupply drops. No food caches waiting along the route. No outside guidance. Just Karen, her equipment, and 704 miles of white nothingness. For 54 days she existed in what she called "a bubble." Cut off from everything except her thoughts, her willpower, and the endless frozen horizon that barely changes. Every morning meant waking in a frozen tent, melting snow, eating high-calorie fuel, packing with precision, then skiing against constant resistance until exhaustion demanded she stop. When she crossed the finish line under clear Antarctic skies, Norway's Prime Minister praised her as following in the footsteps of Roald Amundsen. The legendary Liv Arnesen, first woman to ski solo to the South Pole 31 years prior, personally called to congratulate her. Karen's words after finishing cut straight to the truth: "It doesn't matter how tall you are or how physically imposing you look. Through considered preparation, mental strength, and unwavering focus, you can achieve things that seem extraordinary." Five feet tall. 106 pounds. The youngest solo polar explorer in human history. Proof that extraordinary has nothing to do with size.

@bksgamin24 @NBAonNBC Not in today's NBA. You can carry, doublr dribble, and travel all the way to Mordor.

@NBAonNBC Isn’t this a travel ?

TYRESE MAXEY WITH THE ANKLE BREAKER! 🤯

@roblagnac @RichardGrenell Well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

@RichardGrenell Do what you need to do. But: Stop the bullying. Your troops are in Germany bc that serves US interests.

I see a lot of people saying there are 35,000 to 36,000 US troops in Germany. But that is active duty troops only. If you count rotational troops and US civilian contractors, it is well over 55,000 Americans...too many for today’s threats and today’s tactics to combat these threats. We must modernize.

@ben_sk8in44 @TexSun81 @0hour1 Ah yes. Communism is renowned for its extremely good management techniques.

@TexSun81 @0hour1 Right because tobacco grown under our 3 & 4 letter agencies couldn’t possibly be better than that grown in a country that’s been cut off from the rest of the world for decades.

Cuban cigar market is about to boom.

@grouchian @christopherrufo @thackerpd @piersmorgan "People should shoot nazis!" Said by the same people who yell everyone who doesn't enthusiastically agree with them is a nazi, is indeed a call to action.

Isn’t this the leftists’ stochastic terrorism argument, used against the right to try to stifle their speech? If Will Stancil’s speech crossed the line into actual advocacy for violence, prosecute him. If he’s publicly saying things about a famous person that are demonstrably unverified (calling President Trump a pedo, for example), the target of this speech should drag his 🍑 into civil court. If it’s just opinion, even opinion repeated ad naseum accusing President Trump of being a fascist, Stancil is not responsible for the behavior of an unhinged rando, even a rando who connects the dots between protected speech he heard and his desire to commit acts of violence. Either we continue to uphold the first principle of individual responsibility for actions, or we take the path to h-e-double-toothpicks (that’s he-11 to Ilhan Omar) with the good intentions of not encouraging nut jobs to do nut job things by destroying the 1A rights of the rest of us.

"It seems that the White House Correspondents Dinner shooter was radicalized on Bluesky, in particular, by people like Will Stancil, a lawyer who has endorsed political violence. And this great derangement is now becoming mainstream." On @piersmorgan:

@RazorFist Is one of the charges for the 86-47 shell art? They'll never get a conviction. And Comey will get pro bono legal aid from top law firms, so it won't cost him a cent.

The thing you said would never happen went ahead and happened. Again.

@AndrewKolvet Great rhetoric, but what will happen?

If you think congressional testimony is useless, just watch this masterclass.

@opsecsmasher @johnkonrad You're...kidding, right?

@SpaceMorse @johnkonrad What are we correcting? Please don’t tell me you think DOD used to be called the Department of War.

The genius of renaming it Department of War: it instantly outed every single person undermining the Commander in Chief. If they won’t accept a silly name change, there’s a 100% chance they’re sabotaging the executive orders that actually matter.

@BryanMinehart @johnkonrad We can recoup that by shuttering and prosecuting a very small number of the Learing Centers and fake hospice centers.

@opsecsmasher @johnkonrad Words mean things. Correcting something that should never have been done in the first place is worth doing.

@johnkonrad I'm glad you called it what it is, a silly name change. I wish these people had better things to do with taxpayer money.

@RazorFist It's been weeks. Clean as a whistle by now.

Good. The rapidity of the "clean-up" after it was exposed had local government fingerprints all over it.

@cdrsalamander Remember, kids, theft is totes ok if there was an assassination attempt earlier. :/

I already love Ukraine and Ukrainians. You don't have to make me love them even more. I'm sold. Next time, I not only want to be at her table, I want to be at whatever afterparty she is at.

@camhigby Stay safe, man.

All set up at UT Austin - come debate

@brentdsadler @HunterStires @brent_maz Unserious. "Battle damage can be done in Asia!" Followed by "ports won't be available due to damage."

@HunterStires @brent_maz Yep there is that too… most Japanese and all South Korean shipyards would likely be inaccessible nor secure during a long war in the Pacific with China…

No study required - Navy should solicit bids from Japan and South Korean shipyards…. News breaking that a $1.85 billion study is to be conducted to determine viability of building naval vessels at key allied shipyards. But a better idea is to solicit bids right away for long lead components, ship modules, etc. that can complement/accelerated construction of warships under construction in the U.S. now. Partnerships like HII-Hyundai, Davis-Gulf Copper & Manufacturing come to mind. And potentially Japanese shipbuilders too, who have yet to fully invest here as other shipbuilders recently. Perhaps this is the intent but this “study” dollar amount should include procurements that can demonstrably accelerate current construction in the U.S. Such as more advanced fabrication techniques and welding robots… Navy using this “study” should also consider using these monies for establishing fabrication and supply chains here in the U.S. that complement potential new overseas production with an eye towards moving full production of these warships and/or components in the U.S. See the news here: news.usni.org/2026/04/24/u-s…

@sully375 @RonnieAdkins We've blurred those lines before, though. Americans served with the Canadians and British prior to America joining WW2.

@RonnieAdkins You should be barred from service in any other nations military if you are a US citizen.

Absolutely not. Service in the IDF, or any foreign military for that matter, should not constitute US Veteran benefits and/or protections at any level. The article specifically notes that it would be for SCRA and USERRA, just to save you the time.

@KaiserMilo3 @RealChapAmerica @DeptofWar @SecWar Given average wait times for routine medical care paired with average durations of the flu, your statement is incorrect.

@RealChapAmerica @DeptofWar @SecWar If real, this would result in more people being sick and more medical resources being expended on their care. Why would someone want service members and their families to be sick, and military treatment facilities to have more patients to care for?

🚨 Reported that flu shots will be voluntary for all Active and Reserve members in the @DeptofWar Haven't seen official channels share this yet, but this looks legitimate and many have been advocating for this for a long time. Praise be to God and thanks to them and @SecWar @PeteHegseth for furthering medical and religious freedom!

@cdrsalamander Retired cops should get the same treatment as the rest of the population, frankly.

Bullsh!t.

@GenXLiberty @camhigby Completely agree! The pearl clutching over this is something else.

@SpaceMorse @camhigby There are bad apples everywhere. I do know my Jewish neighbors are not trying to blow me up or worse!

Make an example out of this piece of shit.

@GenXLiberty @camhigby Here's why people won't care: we expect this type of thing from Arab/Muslim terror groups. We don't expect desecration of Christian religious symbols from Israeli/Jewish groups (even though it does happen enough that it shouldn't be shocking).

@camhigby I am more concerned about this. x.com/i/status/20460…

@camhigby Why do people act surprised when adherents of one religion destroy the symbols of another when given the chance? Muslims took it to an art form: the temple built on the rubble of the Hebrew Temple in Jerusalem, churches all over the MENA/Turkey. Christians used to do it, too.
