@DerrickEvans4WV It'll be 52. There'll be a deal made. Puerto Rico 51, Alberta 52. Also as part of the deal the number of Representatives in the House will be increased. Likely to 451 so that some of the other 50 states don't lose seats.

So do you think we end up with a 51st state? If so, who do you think will end up being the 51st state? I think it will be Alberta.

show me your cannons

@TheGlobalWarmer @Clarsonimus

@Clarsonimus Interglacials are not on an 18,000-year kitchen timer. Glacial inception depends on the full Milankovitch configuration, not just obliquity, and human CO₂ forcing is now large enough to override the slow orbital nudge toward the next ice age. The old rules no longer apply.

Climate Fun Facts: The average duration of an interglacial period is about 18,000 years. The average duration of the upswing of Earth's obliquity (tilt) at 23.5° is also 18,000 years. Is this a coincidence? Whether it is or isn’t, the interglacial period we now live in is about to end.

Republicans aren’t going to win a narrative battle over gas prices by arguing they were higher under Biden in 2021. They have to come down. That’s it. That’s the only political solution.

@OneBadDude_ There is a better option.

A JD Vance/Marco Rubio ticket would destroy any chance of the left winning in 2028.

Be honest, have Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens changed your support for Trump?

@IMPEACHpedoNOW @MAGAMAHACindy

@MAGAMAHACindy You’re dumb as a fucking stick enough said lmfao and oh btw Iran is owning you , the heeen owning you since the start ! And China doesn’t give a fuc they a re still sailing ships through idiot ! It’s weak Americans who are the cowards China would own you way worse than Iran is

The war’s most underrated masterstroke: Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz, expecting oil chaos to break America. The U.S. ignored Hormuz and blockaded the Gulf of Oman exit instead which is outside Iran’s defenses. Every Iranian tanker, ghost ship, and Chinese buyer now hits the U.S. Navy. Dozens turned back. Kharg Island is paralyzed. Storage is full. Oil wells will soon shut. A restart would cost hundreds of millions that Iran doesn’t have. China’s shadow oil lifeline just died. Beijing won’t confront the U.S. Navy. Iran’s new peace offer says it all: forget Hezbollah, just lift the blockade. $500M/day economic strangulation is winning. Iran is crumbling from within.

@jaketapper Oh dear!

The president posted this about House Democratic Leader Jeffries shortly after 11 pm last night.

@brirey_yankee @RetroMoviesDB True enough, but she sure likes her hair red

@Vampanor @RetroMoviesDB She's not a redhead. Her hair was dyed red

@VisionaryVoid Hey, Hollywood. Here's another original story that'd make a great movie instead of the retreaded hash you give us each year.

The Horse That Outranked Most Marines. In October 1952, a small Mongolian mare was purchased for $250 at the Seoul racetrack. The seller was a Korean stableboy who needed the money to buy his sister a prosthetic leg. The buyer was the U.S. Marine Corps. They named her Reckless, after the Recoilless Rifle Platoon she'd be hauling ammunition for, and nobody expected much from a former racehorse standing barely 14 hands tall. Her boot camp was unlike any in Marine history. Tech Sergeant Joe Latham taught her to step over barbed wire, lie flat in trenches on command, and sprint for bunkers when someone yelled "Incoming!" She learned the supply routes so thoroughly she eventually ran them alone, without a handler, navigating steep Korean hillsides under enemy fire while Marines around her dove for cover. Then came the Battle of Outpost Vegas in March 1953. Over a single day, Reckless made 51 solo trips to the front lines, hauling 386 rounds of ammunition, more than 9,000 pounds total, across 35 miles of active combat terrain. She was hit by shrapnel twice, once above her left eye and once in the flank. She kept going. Marines later said she'd push them aside to get into the bunkers first, then turn around and head back out for another load. The Marine Corps promoted her to corporal on the battlefield, then to sergeant after the armistice. In 1959, the Commandant of the Marine Corps personally presided over her promotion to staff sergeant at Camp Pendleton, complete with a 19-gun salute and a parade of 1,700 Marines. She received two Purple Hearts, a Marine Corps Good Conduct Medal, and a Presidential Unit Citation. When she died in 1968, it made the front page, and she was buried with full military honors. She remains the only animal ever to hold an official rank in the United States Marine Corps. Most of the men she served alongside never made staff sergeant.

@archeohistories Not quite true. Iceland had forests before the Vikings arrived. Estimates suggest that birch and willow covered roughly 25-40% of the island's land area, particularly in lowland areas. Settlers cleared these forests, creating the "barren" land you see today

When the vikings first arrived in Iceland in 9th Century CE, they discovered a coarse yet manageable new world ripe for the picking, uninhabited but for a few Gaelic monks on the southern coast. This strange, rugged land was worthy of conquering and survival over their scandinavian homeland stricken with civil strife and running short on arable land. That force of adventure, strength and resourefulness in a new land cultivated Iceland’s ancient survivalist architecture. It was and still is a vast territory with dramatic rising glacial ranges from moonscape fields that run into coastal beaches of black sand and a land of no native timber. Where necessity became and still is the mother of invention. Homes were constructed of turf and drift wood that would wash upon the shores as well as from the endless supply of lava stones abound in the fields. Stone constrution also proved functionally sensible in this frequent earthquake prone environment, as homes could then “easily” be cobbled back together. These buildings still exist at the ancient homestead of Keldur in Iceland’s southeastern region. This last remaining and fully intact early settlement farmstead can be found mentioned in Sagas from 12th Century CE. Traditionally a clan would head the farm with extended family living and working on site. Originally all living in the long house, there is evidence to think that a sudden and drastic climate change caused the move to smaller residential spaces to be built and long houses to be divided up to make easier to heat. Additions and improvements at  Keldur had been made over the centuries, but the original main hearth room still bears the dirt floors and ancient timbers with fascinating hints of traditional communal living. A tunnel discovered in 1930’s runs from the main hearth room to the nearby small river and was thought to be for defensive purposes. Inside smaller spaces were formed originally for cooking and food storage and a connecting string of smaller turf structures served as various work and storage spaces such as a smithy, a mill, and livestock corral. Newest addition from early 19th Century remains near intact from it’s former glory, furnished with beautiful and simplistic folk furnishings and the silence combined with the spirits of those who still long remain at Keldur. The last owner, whos family had farmed Keldur for almost two Centuries, knew of its great importance to Icelandic heritage and over the years had collected much history on the site. In 1942, he sold Keldur and his extensive collection to the National Museum of Iceland who continue to care for and manage this amazing historic site. Upwards of 200 of these man-made caves with wooden or cobbled facades are scattered about 90 farms in the region used over the centuries for storing hay,corralling livestock, smithy’s and even for trade. Forty one of these caves are now protected sites, but many still in use today. We stopped roadside on HWY 1 at Rútshellir, and explored this t-shaped ‘building’. The front entrance to the turf structure is a feeding area for sheep, then stepping up into the cave (approx 6’ft tall and 10 ft wide) where they take shelter. Walking up the left side exterior is an entrance to another connecting cave space much smaller and where a smithy had a shop for many years. Yet another example of Iceland’s people understanding and using Mother Nature to their benefit through their ancient survivalist architecture. #archaeohistories

@_LA_Merc @aj_inapi Section 1550 only requires the President to report to Congress every 180 days regarding the status of the US military and its partners in regards to hositilies.

@Vampanor @aj_inapi Most people have no idea that a bipartisan Congress added Section 1550 to the War Powers Resolution in December of 2019... Those laws are still current & in effect today... Title 50 Chapter 33 Section 1550... uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req…

Democrats in Congress about to yank out their remaining hair in frustration: 'But... but... we were supposed to impeach him for this!' Sorry, folks - War Powers Resolution followed to the letter, ceasefire in place, threats neutralized. Turns out the Constitution doesn't actually require a permission slip from AOC or Hakeem Jeffries' X feed. Cope harder.

@_LA_Merc @aj_inapi The primary War Powers action in 2019 was S.J.Res. 7 regarding Yemen, which passed the Senate 54-46 on March 13, 2019, and the House 247-175 on April 4, 2019.Dec 2019: There were no major votes listed for that specific month regarding a section 1550.

@MrPitbull07 Okay, Hollywood, here's a perfect "girl boss" movie for you. Total Oscar/Golden Globe material too. Get cracking!

For decades, every orphaned elephant died within a matter of weeks. Then a woman with no scientific training decided that wasn’t good enough. Daphne Sheldrick received baby elephants at her center in Tsavo National Park, Kenya. They arrived after poachers had killed their mothers. They were only a few weeks old, confused, and still dependent on milk. The pattern was always the same. They were fed cow’s milk, the only alternative available. At first, they drank it. Then their bodies began to reject it. Diarrhea, dehydration, weakness. Within days, they died. That was the case everywhere. Experts considered it inevitable. Elephant milk had a composition too specific to be replicated. Without the mother, there was no solution. Daphne had no formal academic training in biology or veterinary medicine. She had learned by working in the field, alongside animals. And she decided not to accept that conclusion. She began to experiment. She adjusted the milk formulas. Added cream. Used goat’s milk. Introduced different oils, one at a time. She recorded everything in a notebook. Every attempt was tested on a real calf. Many died. And from that point on, her work changed. Every mistake became data. Every loss became a clue about what did not work. She continued for years. Then for a decade. Then two. In the meantime, she identified several key factors. Coconut oil worked better than other fats. Mineral proportions had to be precise. Stress was also a decisive factor: the calves needed constant contact, not just nourishment. The keepers began sleeping beside them. Caring for them day and night. Partly replacing the presence of the mother. Results came slowly. First they survived for a few weeks. Then months. Then years. In the late 1970s, after the death of her husband, she founded the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. She gathered everything she had learned and turned it into a method. Feeding, medical care, daily management. Everything was organized into clear protocols. The calves began to grow. Some were reintroduced into the wild. Then they integrated into herds. Then they had calves of their own. What had seemed impossible became achievable. When Daphne Sheldrick died in 2018, more than 230 orphaned elephants had survived thanks to the system she had developed. She had no academic titles. She had started with a problem everyone believed had no solution—and kept working on it for nearly thirty years.

@ArynneWexler Well played. Well played.

Spirit shutting down is a disaster for us all Those customers have to go somewhere

@landofthe80s Peace. Ask a man want he truly wants in a woman and his answer will be "Peace in my life. No drama"

😳😳😳

@AEshquib @KennethEldrid20 @johnnylightnin @RodDMartin Magicians create distractions so you don't pay attention to what they are truly doing. Musk is no different. Keeping you focused on what he wants you to see and not what he wants to do. But go ahead, be a mark.

@Vampanor @KennethEldrid20 @johnnylightnin @RodDMartin So why is Elon constantly talking about it when he's making the robots dumbass?

The U.S. is Alberta's best friend. Ottawa is Alberta's worst enemy.

@AEshquib @KennethEldrid20 @johnnylightnin @RodDMartin Robotics and AI are about to take over. If anything there's be a surplus of humans with no jobs, no income, no hope. But then the elites will have a solution for this.

@KennethEldrid20 @johnnylightnin @Vampanor @RodDMartin That's utter nonsense. The world is complaining right now their workforce is shrinking. Including people on the right who say we need to up our birthrate to maintain productivity because of "population collapse". That influx in population will soon be a strength.
