President Trump should honor Thomas Sowell with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. It is not only well-earned, but it is long past time to elevate the brilliant minds that have been pushed aside by race-hustling, intellectual and cultural twerkers. hoover.org/profiles/thoma…

I suspect the neighbor's problem is not the visual of the uneven edges or grass in the middle, but the ruts. If so, yes, they'd probably be happy with the solution in your pictures simply because the ruts are filled. But, that is not a cost-effective solution and the ruts will return unless the tracks are paved.

@Watchman_motto This, basically. It sounds like they're unhappy with the visual, if you clean it up a bit they might change their mind x.com/i/status/20382…

I share about 100 yards of drive way with my ~70yr old neighbors. For some reason he’s obsessed with knocking down the center grass in the middle of the tire ruts and covering it with gravel. He talks about it all the time, probably 30% of all conversations I have with him are about this. He’s asking if I want to pitch in for more gravel, etc. When I put my parents in a guest house behind the barn, my dad started talking about it too. He got some roundup and sprayed his section of road. Am I missing something here? I see no problem with it. It looks fine. It occupies 0% of my mind. I’m prepared to spend 0 dollars to remedy this “problem” What is happening?

I would absolutely want to grade out that center column every so often for many reasons including the one you mentioned which was my first thought living in the Northeast. A lot of these comments seem to fall into a kind of a reverse Chesterton's fence logic. They don't see the wisdom of addressing the ruts, so don't invest any thought or money into it. Yes, some older people get obsessed with things like this, and perhaps there is some of that here, but don't automatically dismiss it as simply that unless you first have a good understanding of the potential issues.

In the North or snow country that driveway will be difficult to plow leaving snow in the ruts which will turn to ice. As the ruts deepen it may cause a vehicles undercarriage to drag on the center strip potentially causing damage. Dry grass and hot exhaust are a bad mix. You can learn from Your Elders or you can learn the hard way and make mistakes on your own.

haha, give it up, Danconia, you're dealing with a cultist. There is no tolerance for nuance. Your questions would actually help climate "alarmists" better understand how to more effectively communicate with those who have questions--that is, if they were truly concerned about the planet--but, from their point of view, one either completely accepts the dogma, or they are the enemy. The ad hominem dismissal is the first thing they are taught to shield themselves from thinking too much.

@godwho22 @WillWalton67 @thebadstats I just came up with a new term called murder denialist. Its anyone that denies that you cause murders. If anyone denies that then they are a murder denialist. Can you believe there are people that are murder denialists? How stupid do they have to be to be murder denialists

Love this clip from today. Triggernometry has a climate change denialist Ian Plimer on to set him up with softballs. Their "pushback" questions are always "why do those lying climate change scientists disagree with you?" Then after he lays out a series of false, debunked, and misleading claims, they follow it up with a "how could anyone disagree with the obvious truths you are spouting?"

@Sassafrass_84 The expression is somewhat a cliche in some circles. I believe it originated with former Prime Minister Disraeli, but this is a fun version of it from the Ballywood Movie "Amar Akbar Anthony" youtu.be/ORlfGLKTkUs?si…

Send this to a liberal. 💀

@MemeNonLibs I would like to see a database that listed all the women like this so that contractors, mechanics, snow plowers, builders, etc, could avoid them. Lets put this denial of service against the 4B movement and the sex strikes and see who caves first.

“The only upside if we all end up going to war is that at least the men will be gone” -Liberal happy that all the men will be at war so she can “rebuild” at home How many cats will she own in her future? 😂✨🌈

@RebelRedox @gotrice2024 That must be my "problem" too. The over-thinking on this is ridiculous. Maybe there was a good reason they left it open (to air it out if something spilled?), but, likely, her common sense is on target and she did something for another she thought was helpful. Good for her.

@gotrice2024 I’m so old, I remember opening a car door or reaching through a window to turn headlights off so the forgetful owner wouldn’t need a jump when they returned to their car. It was called being a good neighbor. Simpler times. 🥺

This woman was going about her day and when she left her apartment, she saw a car with the trunk open. She ran errands, and hours later when she got back she saw the trunk was still open. So she made a video closing it in case anything happens. What if the trunk was open because someone broke into it, and now your prints are on it. In this day and age where cameras are everywhere even on the cars, would you do this or mind your business?

Men and women don't generally watch women's sports because, if they like the sport, the men's version is more exciting and interesting. And, as spectators, women are not as intrigued by the competition and physics of sports to be as interested. It's that simple and based in the biological reality of sexual dimorphism, not mysogeny or the patriarchy. For women's sports, the Olympics, World Cups, etc, are high profile events that engage us because of national pride, not because we suddenly find the level of play exciting enough that our interest will be sustained after. We are very proud of our women who train hard, endure obstacles, overcome challenges, and push their talents to the limits. But, when asked to invest our hard earned leisure time and money, we put it where we get the most return on our investment. It is why as much as we love our children, once the U.S. team wins or loses the Little League World Series, we tune back into MLB, not our local little league. As many have already said, that we carve out womens sports from mens, and provide so much investment in it relative to other nations, despite, with few exceptions, it being athletically inferior to men's sports, speaks highly of our culture and respect for women.

It’s great that women win medals. 🏅 Sadly, other women don’t seem to care enough to watch women’s sports to make them more economically viable. So that means, they need more men to watch them if they want to be independent and viable. And this annoying lady, isn’t probably helping the cause.

This is so important to point out. It is also vital that everyone knows the discrepancy in funding and practice facilities and travel quality. These women get nothing relatively and still win and win and win. They are the bosses‼️

@OliLondonTV Is it a coincidence that the longer she stews in victimhood, the more physically unattractive she becomes? [yes, rhetorical question]

Megan Rapinoe bashes U.S. men’s hockey team; says they “ruined” their Olympic victory by having call with Trump and celebrating with Kash Patel. “You look like a clown!”

@ClaytonMorris Blocking so I don't accidentally get exposed to this BS in the future.

War with Iran? Not so fast. Col. Macgregor just revealed on our show that sailors aboard the USS Gerald Ford have sabotaged the plumbing in order to leave the potential conflict that Israel desperately wants.

This was my thought. In a no-handicap, no scoring limits game, the women would be mentally and physically defeated to the point they could not complete the game. The only caveat is that I don't believe the average male hockey player's conscience would let it to get that far. I don't actually believe the women hockey players think otherwise. It is the feminists and reporters with an ideological chip on their shoulder who are driving these stupid comparisons.

@markodonnell21 @JonnyRoot_ If they went full tilt, I don't think the women would finish the game. Only their goalie would be left standing

In a now deleted TikTok, a liberal woman said, “If the [Team USA] women are such a joke, [let’s play] men vs women… Winner gets voting rights in the next election” 🤣 So much for women’s suffrage… So long voting rights 👋 How much would the men win by? My prediction: 42-1

I hate that you can't tell the satire from reality anymore. I'd take that bet and with a high school boys team. I could probably go down to a good 12 year old team. I don't want to take away from the relative success of our women's Olympic hockey team, so I wish the feminists would stop forcing these comparisons.

That is me. I just don't have the luxury with age and increased responsibilities to sit with a book. There are a lot of things I'll never do again that I did and was able to do as a child. But, I still take in information at the same or greater pace. I listen throughout the day to fiction, non-fiction, talk shows, even TV shows. We didn't have that capability as a kid. I do have a nostalgic appreciation for the different qualitative experience of losing oneself in a book. The ironic thing is that my partner is always chastising me for not reading package labels, something, like you said, I routinely did as a kid... at least with cereal boxes and anything else in reach.

Does anyone else who read voraciously as a child barely pick up a book now? We used to read every panel on cereal boxes over breakfast like it was the gospel.

Your argument is one I have used when people respond with terse, insulting replies. What is different here is that many understand that while, yes, "soyboy" here is meant as a criticism/insult, it is simply shorthand for the following explanation/engagement which I hope satisfies your criterion: Your comment comes across as overly concerned for the emotional state of the women. To the extent that you would furthermore cast the guys normal celebratory behavior as insensitive, it suggests that you are either more concerned with trying to ingratiate yourself with certain women or more emotionally sensitive than is typically expected of a masculine man. Neither is attractive to most men and, truth be told, even to most of the liberal women you might think this sensitivity appeals to.

@kimberly_rousso @KING5Sports @TeamUSA Calling someone a name instead of engaging with the point is exactly the kind of weak, lazy rhetoric this video is criticizing. It adds nothing, explains nothing, and contributes nothing. If you disagree, make an argument. If you cannot, the insult speaks for itself.

"The joke was distasteful and unfortunate...Now I have to sit in front of you...and explain someone else's behavior. It's not my responsibility." - @TeamUSA captain and Torrent forward Hilary Knight on the call and joke by President Donald Trump.

One of these deserves the Presidential Medal of Freedom for a lifetime of intellectual contributions.. The other is a great hockey player who deserves a *moment* in the spotlight. I do not expect the State of the Union speech to be anything more than a campaign speech filled with contrived feel-good moments. Still, I was disappointed to hear Trump single out Hellebuyck for the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Perhaps it is in his plans to recognize Sowell eventually, but he chose to focus instead on short-term political gain. Trump hasn't cheapened the award any more than his predecessors who have awarded it to the likes of Bill Nye and their friends and political allies. Sowell is not only truly deserving of this nation's highest civilian honor, but is 95. It would be nice to recognize him while he is still alive. Hellebuyck should still have years to regain the spotlight and show his contribution is more than short-lived.

@NJBeisner Sounds like she doesn't have the time either to determine who the best candidates are, so best to sit it out going forward.

“I am part of the 40% of Americans that still have not gotten a real ID because I simply have not found the time to wait in line at the DMV for hours on end. And I’m somebody who’s self-employed so imagine if you are a worker who’s hourly and does not have the time or capacity to give a whole day worth of pay to stand in line at the DMV.” This is so outrageous. Unlike this this walking cliché blonde bimbo, I am not blessed enough to be a full-time self-employed content creator, yet somehow I managed to MAKE AN APPOINTMENT and SUBMIT MY DOCUMENTS beforehand online, and I was in and out of the DMV in less than 30. And that’s in Los Angeles, where the DMVs are all hellacious. Every single argument I’ve heard on this is pure fiction and emotionalism. Nobody likes going to the DMV or gathering necessary documents and dealing with bureaucracy, but you can do it. It’s not literally or physically inaccessible to us poors. This argument stems from pure laziness, and it’s a slap in the face to those of us who are actually paycheck to paycheck and are still functioning capable adults.

@gotrice2024 What is wrong with you people!? Terrible policy asking to touch first.

I think something like this should be used on all company training videos. Anybody who has ever tried to train somebody can relate to this, it’s informative yet subtle. We’ve all felt like we wanted to do this while training, would this be effective?

@matty2rad @DoctorLemma You are correct. See my comment further below with a link to the owner's confirmation.

@SteveStiert @DoctorLemma I trained horses for many years. The movement away from the camera looks more natural to me than moving toward the camera.

Your brain cannot decide which way this horse is walking, and that is by design. The “horse walking” illusion is a classic case of bistable perception, where the brain receives two equally valid interpretations of the same image but can only display one at a time. Because the horse appears as a high-contrast silhouette against a plain background, the brain gets no depth cues, no shadows, no texture, leaving it unable to determine which side of the animal faces the viewer.

@Boltzmannbaby @DoctorLemma I get it, don't take you too seriously. 🙂 That's a secret to sanity here.

@SteveStiert @DoctorLemma Bots will never like your tweets. Or they will. It's a toin coss.

@Boltzmannbaby @DoctorLemma Cute. Unfortunately, by the time I realized my mental typo of using forward vs toward (the camera), it was too late to edit. I presumed non-bots would understand in context what was meant. 😉 I suspect you did too...unless you're one of those trolling bots. It's a coin toss. 😉

@SteveStiert @DoctorLemma Yes, bot, it is obvious from the video that the horse is not backing up.
