For an almost 80- year-old man Trump is phenomenal which is putting it mildly. On a quiet day the man walks 5 miles just in ceremonial duties. I marvel at this every day! He flies around the world and back on a whim, often unscheduled which alone doctors say is amazing for his age. In my own 50's I started bruising on the hands and legs. It's normal for anyone over 45.
@wyndhamhere@atrupar Really good at golf??? 😂😂😂😂. He's horrible at golf, a known cheat, his caddy "fixes" his card for him every round. He can't play for shit. He couldn't even sink a put from 3 feet away the other week with an oversized hole. failed so many times he gave up and walked off 😂
@atrupar My hands just like that it's just a perfect right hand overlapped finger golf grip normal hand if you're really good at golf like he is. And he's really good at a lot of things.
@KennFields@fasc1nate It's okay, if you pull yourself up by your bootstraps and work harder and get as famous as Swift, then you too can go in the torch instead of crying about it on social media
@fasc1nate So the torch was closed in 1916 but no mention of the when the statue turned 100 years in 1986 where the torch itself was replaced and all of the corroded metal and framing was replaced its still closed but celebrities like Taylor Swift can go up there thats ok
A rare shot of the Statue of Liberty taken from the balcony at its torch. The entrance to it has been closed since 1916.

@chuck_szabo@godwin43365@FoxNews Agreed, give us a break, if you thought for a millisecond any of what you said was true that Trump wouldn't have had the DOJ go after them then you're truly what he meant when he said he loves stupid people.
@godwin43365@FoxNews Does that go for the list of like 30+ people in the last administration that were never charged, when some of the lies they told could be considered treason ? And the penalty for it is death, give us all a break !!!
CAPITOL FALLOUT: Top congressional Democrats are urging the Justice Department to pursue criminal charges against former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, alleging she made false statements to Congress during recent oversight hearings about DHS operations and a $220 million ad campaign.
Making false statements to Congress is classified as a felony, and a guilty verdict carries up to five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
@LucasSa56947288 All the things she says "Apple pie, Fried chicken, etc". all NOT American. 😂🤦🏼♂️
Know who is American though and performed as an American at the American show? Bad Bunny.
SO! Megyn Kelly says that Bad Bunny performing his Super Bowl halftime show in Spanish was "a middle finger to the rest of America".
"Football is OURS!"
@inthekeyofdrew@konstructivizm And there's no such thing as God, people that believe in "ghosts" and flying sky daddies are mentally ill.
If God can only exist and manifest in the imagination of man, then God is weaker than Mans imagination. If God can be defeated by simply not knowing him, there is no God.
@konstructivizm God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.
Astronomers and planetary scientists have found strong evidence that a significant fraction of Earth’s water predates the formation of the Sun. By comparing hydrogen isotope ratios—specifically deuterium to hydrogen—in Earth’s oceans, meteorites, and comets with those measured in interstellar ice, researchers found a close match. These ratios act as chemical fingerprints, indicating that water molecules formed in extremely cold molecular clouds before the solar system existed.Models show that such water could survive the violent collapse of the solar nebula, becoming incorporated into dust grains that later formed planets. This means Earth did not generate its water solely through internal processes or late comet impacts; instead, it inherited ancient water forged in deep space. The implication is profound: water is a common, resilient molecule that can persist through star and planet formation.Scientifically, this strengthens the idea that habitable conditions may arise wherever planets form, because one of life’s key ingredients can be delivered already assembled from the interstellar medium.

@MLahooti949@PhysInHistory Seriously. You cut and pasted an AI's response to the article? Wtf is wrong with you, are you so empty and stupid you just post AI drivel?
As I was writing these equations all over the blackboard ahead of time, Einstein came in and said pleasantly,
'Hello, I'm coming to your seminar. But first, where is the tea?'

The SS *Great Eastern, launched in 1858, was the brainchild of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, one of the most celebrated engineers of the Victorian era. Measuring 692 feet long and weighing nearly 19,000 tons, she was by far the largest ship ever built at the time—so vast that many doubted whether she could even float, let alone sail. What made the *Great Eastern* truly revolutionary was her hybrid propulsion system: six masts with sails, enormous paddle wheels, and a massive screw propeller powered by steam engines. Designed to carry 4,000 passengers and enough coal to travel from England to Australia without refueling, she was more than just a ship—she was an audacious statement of human ambition and industrial might.
Despite her cutting-edge design, the *Great Eastern* faced numerous setbacks. Her launch was plagued by technical issues and delays, and early voyages were marred by financial troubles and mechanical failures. The ship never became the commercial passenger success Brunel had envisioned, but her robust construction would later prove invaluable. In the 1860s, she was repurposed for laying transatlantic telegraph cables—her massive size and stability making her uniquely suited for the task. In this new role, she helped connect continents and revolutionize global communication, fulfilling a very different but equally monumental purpose.
The *Great Eastern*’s grandeur and complexity inspired fascination beyond the world of engineering. Jules Verne famously featured the ship in his 1871 novella *A Floating City*, with evocative illustrations by Jules Férat that captured its scale and mystique. Though the ship was eventually dismantled in 1889, her legacy endured—marking a turning point in maritime innovation. The *Great Eastern* remains a towering symbol of Victorian ingenuity, a vessel that dared to defy the limitations of its era and, in many ways, paved the way for modern ocean liners and global connectivity.

@Juanmar14514689@MMAFighting In no world was Jake beating AJ, that being said, he did better than most of AJ's opponents. You don't do better than 70% of the worlds heavy weight champions and challengers by being a poser. Like him or hate him, Jake would embarrass you worse than your stupid comment should.
@MMAFighting 1 of the biggest, if not biggest, mismatches I have ever witnessed. The Vegas odds should have favored Joshua by a much wider margin. The only reason "Jake the Fake" wasn"t disposed of earlier is because he ran, he clinched, he wrestled the whole fight, proving he's just a poser
@pawmacist@FoxNews Yes, the figures align with DHS's Dec 10, 2025 report: over 605,000 deportations by ICE and CBP, plus 1.9 million voluntary departures, totaling 2.5+ million. Sources like Pew and the White House confirm 2025 as the first year of net negative migration in over 50 years.
BORDER SECURED: The Department of Homeland Security says ICE and CBP have deported more than 600,000 illegal immigrants from the U.S., with another 1.9 million leaving the country on their own — marking a dramatic shift in migration trends.
“These efforts have led to the first year of net negative migration in over 50 years.”
The numbers don’t lie—enforcement works. With 605k deportations and 1.9 million self-deportations, the message is clear: follow the law or face consequences. The Self Deportation app streamlined exits, proving efficiency without chaos. NPR’s skepticism? Classic media spin.
When DHS prioritizes removing criminal aliens and restores order, of course the open-border lobby panics. This isn’t just policy—it’s proof that sovereignty and security win. $150B wasted annually on illegal immigration is now redirected to American priorities.
No more catch-and-release, no more sanctuary city shields. Results > rhetoric.
@FoxNews Wait that's barely 8% according to the Trump administration there's 30 to 34 million illegals here.
We're spending all this money for a lackluster 8%? How does that even remotely make the borders secure? Trump's paying off student loans to losers not even able hit 10%???? WTF
@PeterDClack Greenhouses only increase C02 while the lights are on because plants only use C02 during photosynthesis. Levels over 1500 can have severe effects on people and animals exposed to it.
You're intentionally ignoring the negative effects while promoting 8-10 hours a day of positives
We should be managing adaptation and energy abundance not waging war on a rare gas that makes our planet a green paradise. Higher CO₂ is a net benefit to life on Earth. It will not destroy the climate. It will not drive us away from our coastal wonderlands. The Earth is greening at a rate never seen before in recorded history.
Satellite records since 1982 show leaf area and grass cover is ballooning. Global crop yields have risen 15-20% since 1960, largely attributable to CO₂ fertilisation. There's been a more than 18% increase in global leaf cover in 40 years, the largest gains in India and China from CO₂ fertilisation. Warmer, more temperatures are lengthening growing seasons, a feature of rising levels of water vapour and cloud cover around the world. Famine deaths have plunged while the world's population doubled.
CO₂ deserves much of the credit. CO₂ has recovered from the edge of plant extinction during the glacial maximum 20,000-26,000 years ago, when it fell to 180 ppm. The recovery is due largely to the current warm interglacial period, which led to this explosion in plant life. Science says 600–1000 ppm of CO₂ plus 1 to 2°C extra warming is the ideal 'sweet spot' for land and marine life, including us.
Every 100 ppm increase in CO₂ typically boosts plant growth by 25 to 50% in all non-water, limited conditions. An ideal average CO₂ level of 550 ppm delivers a 38% increase in global biomass. Commercial greenhouses are so successful because they pump CO₂ up to 1000–1500 ppm. This ensures crop yields jump by 20–70% depending on the crop. Here is the irony of net zero. No farmer is dropping dead from carbon dioxide poisoning.
Net zero would stop this greening miracle in its tracks or slow it down, while frauds like Bill Gates try to feed us steak made from insects in a laboratory. These people seem to hate life. They are a collective drain on western prosperity, leading to further economic collapse and a new mediaeval frontier spreading like the Black Death across Europe.
Today, Republicans won all three special elections and that success belongs to the voters who showed up.
While Democrats hoped low turnout would hand them a win, Republicans proved them wrong at the ballot box. We didn’t sit this one out. We showed up, voted, and protected conservative leadership across South Carolina.
Thank you to every voter who took time away from family gatherings, travel, and holiday plans to make your voice heard. That commitment is why we win.
Tonight’s results send a clear message: South Carolina Republicans show up when it matters and we’re heading into 2026 organized, energized, and stronger than ever.

@histories_arch Nah don't believe it how do you add bone by stretching or binding you'd loose material not gain more and the thickness wouldn't be the same this seems like a stone wall lie.
These elongated skulls date to the Paracas Necropolis period, around 2,000 years ago, discovered near Pisco in northern Paracas, Peru. Their cone-like shape wasn’t the result of disease or mutation. It was intentional, done during infancy through prolonged head shaping while the skull was still soft.
What keeps people talking are the measurements. Some independent examinations have claimed unusually large cranial capacity, heavier skull mass, and altered eye and jaw proportions. At the same time, CT scans and osteological studies classify these skulls as fully human, with the differences attributed to external shaping rather than genetic deviation or a separate population.
Hundreds of intentionally modified skulls have been recovered from Paracas burial sites, making this one of the largest concentrations of cranial deformation ever found.
So the form is deliberate. The biology is human. The unanswered part is why Paracas elites pushed this practice to such extremes.
