I tweet Ham Radio-related, weather related stuff, train pictures, aircraft pictures, and other pictures I think might be cool, bad jokes, some @Cubs stuff, and whatever I might find interesting, plus some politics, just so you know. Otherwise, enjoy

@JoshHall2024 Why are you lying?

🚨 BREAKING: 🚨The Maricopa County Board of Elections has come forward to issue an apology to President Trump, stating that elections officials in the county have now brought forth evidence alleging that then Secretary of State (now Governor) Katie Hobbs and then Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives Rusty Bowers PERSONALLY ORDERED THEM TO DESTROY TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP and to count the TENS OF THOUSANDS OF BALLOTS THAT WERE CAST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS FOR JOE BIDEN in Arizona's largest county in the 2020 election. This was "outcome-determinative fraud" by the very individuals who were entrusted to conduct, oversee and certify the election and Hobbs and Bowers are both alleged to have been on the payroll of at least 3 hostile foreign governments, The George Soros Open Society Foundation and The DNC in exchange for RIGGING the 2020 election in Arizona. Put simply, there is now IRREFUTABLE AND INDISPUTABLE PROOF that President Trump WON the state of Arizona in that STOLEN election out of the mouths of the very people who counted the votes. LOCK THESE TREASONOUS CROOKS UP NOW! 🇺🇸💪🏻🔥

@MThomasOTF They were always triangles. Always.

Did you know that prior to 1986, Doritos chips were square? The inflation of the 1980s finally forced them to shrink the chips by 50%, but the triangle was to fool people into thinking they were the same size. It worked.

@DataRepublican @nicksortor @IngrahamAngle I get it. I see what you did there. 😉

I'm a Smurf. I've been hired to run counter-intelligence operations at Smurf Village. My role is political; I've personally gone up against the evil wizard Gargamel. But once I'm on the inside, I discover that Smurf Village has a relationship with a goat-riding human boy called Peewit. Peewit isn't a Smurf. He's caused a lot of damage with his antics over the years. Why is he even here? I start digging. I pull up Papa Smurf's history with Peewit. Papa Smurf has been collaborating with this kid for years. Protecting him. Making excuses for him. Why? Peewit is reckless. Peewit makes messes. But Papa Smurf keeps letting him back in. The more I dig, the more Peewit I find. He's everywhere. In every file, behind every favor, connected to every mess. A picture forms in my head: if I'm looking for Peewit everywhere and I keep finding Peewit, the only logical conclusion is that Peewit is the one controlling Papa Smurf. Then a prominent Smurf gets assassinated. They say Gargamel's people did it. Case closed, move along. But I get access to the dead Smurf's private messages. And there's Peewit. Right there in the chats. The same Peewit I've been laser-focused on all year. Pressuring him. Making demands. I bring this to Papa Smurf and his inner circle. I bring it with alarm. Papa Smurf looks at me funny. And then — just like that — I'm kicked out of the investigation. No explanation. Just... out. This is the final proof that Peewit is controlling the Smurf Village. I know what I saw. I have to get the truth out there. So I do the unthinkable. I leak the information.

@PolitiBunny Prickster is one of the reasons I left Illinois, never to return.

Be honest, Illinois ... is your life better under Pritzker? Are things more affordable? Are you ok losing the Bears to Indiana?

@JHolmsted Gravy bread was a thing when I was growing up. I loved brown gravy on a slice of bread. You can also go to just about any Italian Beef place in Chicago and get the French roll soaked in the gravy that the beef is in. Delicious.

lol had a brisket Frito pie last weekend.

@TimothyDSnyder Just stop. Seriously.

He took the greatest military force in world history, lost a war to a middle power in a week, begged the world to save him, and demanded that the media lie about this and everything else. I try, but at a simple human level I do not see how anyone can mistake this man’s almost supernatural weakness for strength. His weakness is something negative, gravitational, so deep that it can draw in a whole country. But only if we fail to see it. Only if we let it.

A thoughtful, well reasoned thread from a literal expert. Worth the time.

This post makes me (very) cautiously optimistic. Is there reason to hope? Yes. Could it all turn to ashes? Yes. Both outcomes are very possible. What angers me is there are to many people in this country, in our government especially, who are hoping, and working for failure. Their main reason is their dislike of the man who is President.

This is what I was talking about in my previous post. To clarify, I am not saying anything negative about our fighting men and women. Our Navy and Air Force are doing a superb job. The problem is posts like the one pictured here. People like this are not just defeatists, they are trying to will their beliefs into reality by spreading nonsense like this. The comments go even further. It is posts like this that make people doubt what is coming from CENTCOM, The White House, and the Israelis, and just about any other news source . It’s as if they want bad things to happen because Trump is in charge. The post pictured below, as unhinged as it may read, will appeal to many simply because it quotes a professor, and to many, that fact alone carries weight. “He is a professor, so what he says here must be true.” How anyone who has limited to no knowledge of how military operations work can get an accurate assessment of the conflict is anyone’s guess.

The war with Iran is in Day 17. The reporting, and the “reporting” on the conflict has become a steaming pile of bovine excrement. Who is lying and who is not? Was the fire on the USS Gerald R. Ford a laundry room fire that injured 2, or was it a drone strike that caused a fire that burned for 30 hours and left 600 sailors without their bunk rooms? (I don’t know how a modern carrier is laid out, so, not sure if the ship’s laundry is close to the crew’s accommodations.) is Iran running out of missiles and drones, or aren’t they? Were all of the THAAD radars destroyed, or not? Missile attacks are fewer, is that because they are running out, or, were we hit so hard that we pulled units out of missile range? Have we suffered 1,000 casualties, or only 7 deaths and the 100 or so that were wounded? Has a destroyer been badly damaged by a missile strike? Has Tel Aviv been heavily damaged by Iranian missiles, with thousands reported dead and injured? Or, has damage, and casualties been minimal? Right now on social media, these stories of both victory and defeat are everywhere, with the stories of American losses gaining the most traction. This makes me want to know who is lying. In the space of two minutes, I see a post about the attrition of Iranian missiles and launchers, to which someone posts that Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and Israel are under attack by at least 100 ballistic missiles today, contradicting reports of Iranian missile launches being way down. . Another account reports heavy Israeli losses in ground combat against Hezbollah in S. Lebanon. Finally there are those reporting that the US-Israeli effort failed, and Iran is the strategic victor in this conflict. My concern is that many people get their news from CNN, NBC, etc. and social media. Much of the bogus content is on TikTok and X. Where does one go to find accurate reports of what is going on. I have a couple that I follow, but, the accounts putting out the embellished, if not outright false narratives are growing in number, so much so, my timeline is full of them. Now, I believe that Iran is back on their heels. They have taken a pounding, that much is evident. But, the details are lacking. How does one find accurate reports? Living in the so-called “Information Age” is having to wade through too much information, to the point where it overwhelms one’s ability to process and make sense of it.

I have never, ever had that. I had no idea such a thing exists. Let’s set the record straight here. What you have pictured is NOT a staple of the American diet. The vast majority of us eat home-cooked meals, and if chicken is on the menu, it is a whole bird that didn’t come from a can. Maybe you ought spend some time understanding real Americans instead of the American you think you know. Oh, and you are going to criticize our government. Look in a mirror sir, your nation is but a shadow of its former self.

In an attempt to explain just why it is that some 77 million Americans voted for the dumbest man alive to be their president for a second time, I’m absolutely delighted to present you with the expanded list of US food that you cannot legally sell in Europe!🧵

@IzaBooboo @charlescwcooke My town was much the same in the 70’s and 80’s. Chicago ‘burb sandwiched between Bellwood, Berkeley, Westchester and Oak Brook. Our claim to fame is that Al Capone is buried in one of the cemeteries there.

@charlescwcooke My town in the middle of the greater Chicagoland area, about 3 miles from the Chicago border, is basically like living in a Norman Rockwell painting.

Perhaps Florida is unusual—although I've also lived in New York and Connecticut—but I keep seeing people post these photos of a park or a swingset or a kid riding a bike and saying "this is what they took from you," and it's literally what my town looks like today.

@BMP_1972 @IzaBooboo @charlescwcooke LaGrange is about 10 miles from Chicago.

@IzaBooboo @charlescwcooke La Grange? I’m only guessing because it fits that description.

@ScotsFyre She is that dumb.

Tucker does not deny texting with high level Iranians. The content of those texts matters you nitwit. If it was scheduling interviews, there is nothing to it. It is US intel that got his texts because OF COURSE Iranian officials are being surveilled. Are you really this dumb?

@TheMorningSpew2 @ChefGruel My parents did the same 1/2 gallon of milk, 1/2 gallon of powdered milk mix, they could 2 gallons out of one that way.

@ChefGruel My mother used to make carnation instant milk to stretch the food budget. We always knew because the tiny granules didn’t dissolve completely and they’d cling to the glass. That and the disgusting taste! Lol

I would normally add a touch of celery seed, but she indicated it's for the kids, and for a thin ranch that kids dip everything in, celery seed can sometimes be a little noticeable. The seeds are tiny, but they don’t dissolve, and some kids pick up that slightly bitter celery note.

Part 3 is now up. I have added titles for the music to this one. A big thanks to my wife for providing it. I truly enjoyed this picture, and I am very happy with the finished product. Thank you all for watching! I really appreciate it. Drawing 5 3 youtu.be/GJ8mNSaGfNQ?si… via @YouTube

@LadyDemosthenes @T_C5341 Happy Birthday!! I hope you enjoy your day!! 🎂🎉🎂🎉

Today I turned 44 so, this is 44! If you told me I’d be in my 40s with a 7 month old I wouldn’t have believed you, but it’s been amazing! God has blessed me with such an amazing family. I’m married to my best friend. @T_C5341 makes me laugh SO much! I absolutely adore him, he is so patient and kind and smart and charming and handsome. Just absolutely perfect for me. ❤️ C is the BEST little boy ever. Just an absolute joy, all the time. Baby K is the happiest baby. I swear she completes our little family. Just a little bundle of love for everyone. God is good, all the time. 😊 He’s gifted me with my family. Super thankful on my birthday! (My shirt says “I will do that tomorrow, said Toad” which is my motto today)

@hanaamurakami Anime, or, Mount Fuji.

As a Japanese person, I’m curious what’s the first thing that pops into your head when you think of Japan? 🧐 Like how people think of “nukes” when they think of America or “carpets” when they think of Iran.
