@nicksortor So what about all the ones who hit yes instead of no…every time I go to the DMV in Pa you can sit there and watch it happen.

🚨 BREAKING: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill admits the state “accidentally” registered over 6,600 FOREIGNERS to vote, and some of them VOTED All those who voted should be in HANDCUFFS. And there’s NO WAY there aren’t more. Per Sherrill, the DMV’s automatic voter registration system was registering people even if they hit “no” on the citizenship question. STOP AUTOMATIC VOTER REGISTRATIONS, AND STOP SENDING UNSOLICITED BALLOTS! Hand over your voter rolls to DOJ and DHS, and I GUARANTEE there’ll be a LOT more foreigners, @GovSherrillNJ!

@SanFranGal1575 @mamboitaliano__ Well we probably could have, but it was wonderful having them along for the ride 👍

@mamboitaliano__ The USA couldn't have it done it without Mexico and Canada btw.

Since no one’s said it yet, I’ll say it Kudos to America! 🇺🇸🏆 You absolutely crushed the organization of this World Cup Flawless machine, zero hiccups, world-class venues, everything executed to perfection But… you can’t host them all, right? Just asking ⚽️

Throw up a hand if you remember when our society was stable enough you could give 10,000 fans regulation baseball bats without worrying they’d immediately start trying to kill each other.

@PalmPortfolios @MHTruthUltra Crazy I would worry that they should own me…

@MHTruthUltra Dumb take. Why would I want to buy an own a Microsoft office that in a year or 2 will be outdated and then I’ll have to buy it again? It makes sense to have subscriptions for services you use. Crazy you think you should own Microsoft😂

You know what really bugs me these days? We can't own anything. Everything is a subscription service, like literally everything. You can't buy Microsoft Office, you have to purchase a subscription for a year. You literally have to pay for everything FOREVER. Isn't anyone else bothered by this?

Every person living in a western nation needs to listen to every word of this Katherine Berbalsingh went to the University of Oxford and is Headmaster at Michaela Community School in London, UK She PERFECTLY explains the mass indoctrination into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, and of hating White People I will write only some of this out because it’s very important, however you should listen to it so you can hear the passion: “The culture shift comes from what children learn at school and online. Ask any young person what history they learned at school, and they’ll tell you, Hitler. Ask them what else? Slavery. Ask them what else? American civil rights. In fact, what little they know of history will be all about Black and brown people fighting for equality against the white man, women fighting men for the vote, gay and trans people fighting for various rights. Our young people have been taught that history is simply one long story about various groups struggling under the oppressive dead white man. — History is taught through an oppressor lens. The triangular slave trade, white men held the power. What about Britain ending the slave trade? More than a quick mention, if at all? Mm, no. What of the Arab slave trade that lasted 3 times as long as the triangular slave trade? Mm, no. Okay, so GCSE history in Britain is often taught as migration through time, so the idea that Britain has always been a land of immigrants is embedded in our children’s heads. Most schools would prefer to concentrate learning about the tiny number of Black people who existed in Tudor England over a thorough analysis of England’s break from Rome. — Not to mention weeks on King Mansa Musa of Mali because he was a Black Muslim. His bearing on British institutions, laws, and faith is nonexistent. And the fact that he is said to have been the richest man in history, thanks in part to his massive slave-owning society, is a detail somehow that teachers rarely ever teach. But it isn’t just our schools. It’s our general culture too. Take your kids to a museum or an art gallery in any Western country, and you’ll find the same narrative. As an example, when learning about aviation in London’s Science Museum and the extraordinary feat that is man making massive machines move in the sky, a write-up on the wall explains that women and Black people were historically barred from aviation schools and the military. Similarly, James Watt, the man who invented the steam engine and is considered the founder of the Industrial Revolution, has a write-up on the wall explaining that his early career involved slave trafficking, with a bonus analysis of the whole of Britain’s complicity in the slave trade. They flatten the entire human story and all of its complexities into the narrative of oppressor and oppressed, leaving young people unable to see the world in any other terms.” We have to end the mass indoctrination

Imagine, a Republican Majority Leader - setting up Pro Forma sessions to BLOCK a Republican President from getting any recess appointments. Imagine, an arrogant Republican Majority Leader - refusing to listen to demands from his own constituents to pass the SAVE America Act. Imagine the other 52 Republican Senators blindly obeying this "Majority Leader" and claiming he is BELOVED by them. Twilight Zone.

@jasonwhitlock CDS is real…

Imagine how Clark would react to this “no call” in a close game in the final minute. Clark is a great player with a delusional fan base and an entitled, victim mentality.

@peterrhague Take the bike…impound it until a safety class is successfully completed.

How do you punish this behaviour? Its reckless and antisocial, but prison would obviously be excessive. Our other options - community service, fines etc. - he would probably laugh off and ignore. Maybe we need to bring back the stocks...

@Hunter_Eagleman Considering China was involved…probably not.

People keep saying Trump should just “let the 2020 election go” because it’s in the past. But is it really? The STOLEN election delivered four years of open borders that got innocent Americans killed. It fueled billions in destruction and chaos in our major cities. It unleashed endless lawfare against political opponents. It led to multiple assassination attempts on President Trump himself. The damage didn’t stop on Inauguration Day as we’re still living with the deadly consequences of the 2020 election today. Ignoring election integrity doesn’t heal the country. It actually guarantees more of the same. We can NEVER forget what happened in 2020! Ever! We have to demand accountability and secure our elections!

In America they told me the football game starts at 1 PM. I arrived at 1 PM. I was five hours late. The parking lot was already a city. A man had built a living room beside his truck. Not metaphorically. He had a couch. A television. A chandelier powered by a generator the size of a small horse. He was grilling enough meat to feed a village, and when I walked past he said, "You hungry?" I said I had not been invited. He looked at me the way you look at someone who has apologized for breathing. "Brother," he said. "You're here. That's the invitation." He handed me a plate. It was not a small plate. The brisket hung over the edges like a man sleeping in a bed he has outgrown. I ate it standing beside a stranger's couch in a parking lot in October, and it was among the finest meals of my life. A woman across the row had a tent, a smoker, a speaker system, and a flag so large it could have sheltered a family of five beneath it. She had been here since 6 AM. The game had not started. The game, I began to realize, was not the point. I asked the man what time he would go inside the stadium. He said, "Depends." I asked on what. He said, "On whether the ribs are done." I want to be clear. He had a ticket. He had driven four hours. He had assembled a small civilization from the back of a pickup truck. And he was considering not going to the game. Because the ribs were not ready. In Japan we tailgate nothing. We do not build living rooms in parking lots. We do not grill for strangers. We sit quietly on trains and think about whether we remembered to bow at the right angle. I have since attended eleven tailgates. I have never once cared who won the game. Nobody has. The game is inside the stadium. America is in the parking lot.

@GOP_is_Gutless What is the logic behind it causing a Dem. Wave?

RINOs gonna RINO. Fresh off losing their seats to Trump-backed challengers, Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Bill Cassidy are still whining about President Trump’s primetime election integrity speech. Cornyn claims “he doesn’t understand”, and that’s true because that’s why he lost his election. His constituents no longer had confidence in him. Cassidy says focus on “kitchen table” issues instead of securing elections — warning it could cause a Dem wave. These guys never learn. Election integrity is the kitchen table issue. Trump is right to fight for it. #ElectionIntegrity #Trump2028 #DrainTheSwamp

Bernie. Bernie, Bernie, Bernie. Let me get this straight, because I want to make sure I am reading your economics homework correctly, and I did not eat a bowl of alphabet soup this morning so bear with me. You just listed UnitedHealth's $5.48 billion quarterly profit as proof of corporate greed. Cute. Except that profit happened WHILE the Affordable Care Act — the law that guarantees these insurers a captive, subsidized, taxpayer-fed customer base — has been the law of the land for fifteen years. You are not exposing corporate greed, Senator. You are reading me the receipt for your own bill. The ACA did not shrink the insurance industry. It turned it into a government-guaranteed cash cow, and now you are shocked, SHOCKED, that the cow got fat. Eats soup with a fork, this one. And here is the part that should really sting. Your own party just finished a 43-day shutdown demanding MORE money be poured into that exact system, because the temporary COVID subsidies YOUR PARTY wrote into the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 — zero Republican votes on either bill, by the way — expired right on schedule, exactly as YOU designed them to. Not a single Republican voted to end those subsidies. You did. Then you shut down the government to admit, out loud, on the record, that a law literally named the AFFORDABLE Care Act cannot survive without emergency pandemic cash. That is not an insult from me. That is a confession from you. So now the solution is Medicare for All. Naturally. Because when a fifteen-year-old government program made the insurance companies richer, the answer is obviously MORE government program, just bigger. If ignorance is bliss you must be the happiest man in the Senate. Independent estimates put full single-payer implementation at somewhere between forty and sixty percent of the ENTIRE federal budget. Forty to sixty percent, Senator. Larger than Social Security. Larger than defense. You want me to hand over half the country's checkbook to the same apparatus that just admitted its last healthcare experiment doesn't work without a subsidy IV drip. Let's talk about who's asking. You have served in the United States government for something like forty years between the House and Senate, and by my count the bills you personally got across the finish line as lead sponsor could be counted on one hand, mostly involving the naming of federal buildings. Somewhere out there is a tree tirelessly producing oxygen for you, Senator, and it owes itself an apology for the return on investment. This is also the same man who, as a young idealist, tried out communal living on a hippie commune and did not exactly stick around long enough to collect a pension from it. Now you want the reins to fifty percent of the national budget. I keep hearing "tax the rich" out of a man worth several million dollars who charters private jets on his "Fighting Oligarchy" tour because, in his own words, he isn't waiting in line at United with the rest of us peasants. Bless your heart. That is rich even by Congressional standards. Couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel, but sure, hand him the checkbook. And before you tell me capitalism failed and it's finally socialism's turn — how's that working out for your ideological younger brother in New York? Zohran Mamdani just announced a THIRTY MILLION DOLLAR government grocery store in a city his own comptroller says is worse than broke. Kansas City tried this. Erie, Kansas tried this. That is not a hunch, Senator, that is a lab result, and I am a science teacher, so let me walk you through the peer review. An experiment only counts as science if it has been REPLICATED. Not run once. Run again. And again. Under different conditions, different continents, different decades, different "well THIS time we'll do it right" true believers standing at the podium. So let's replicate it together, shall we, because apparently nobody handed you the lab notes. Trial one: the USSR, 1920s and 1930s. Stalin seized the farms, collectivized the kulaks, and centrally planned the harvest. Result: the Holodomor, a man-made famine in Ukraine that starved somewhere between five and ten million people to death while grain was actively being EXPORTED past their starving bodies. That is not a rounding error. That is a control group that died. Trial two: Cuba, 1959 onward. Castro nationalized every business, every farm, every bank on the island. Sugar production, once the envy of the hemisphere, collapsed. The economy shrank thirty-five percent in a single decade when the Soviet training wheels came off. Extreme poverty today sits near eighty-eight percent. Same experiment. Same result. Trial three: Venezuela, sitting on some of the largest oil reserves on the PLANET, nationalized its oil industry and ran the socialist playbook to the letter. Production collapsed from three and a half million barrels a day to under one million. Hyperinflation peaked past sixty-three THOUSAND percent. Nine million people fled. You cannot bribe your way out of the results with oil money. We tried. It's in the data. Trial four, and this one should make every teacher in America wince: China's Great Leap Forward, 1958 to 1962. Mao abolished private farming, herded peasants into communes, melted down their pots and pans for backyard steel that was too low-grade to use for anything. Somewhere between fifteen and forty-five million people starved. Some regions saw cannibalism. That is not a typo. That is what happens when central planners replace the price system with a five-year plan and a slogan. Trial five: North Korea, present day, running the same command economy with the Juche twist. Famine in the 1990s killed hundreds of thousands to over a million. Markets are technically illegal and thrive anyway in the shadows, because human beings will trade even when their government threatens to shoot them for it. Trial six is my personal favorite because it is the cleanest natural experiment in the history of economics: East versus West Germany. Same people. Same language. Same culture. Same starting point in 1945. One half got markets, one half got the Stasi and collectivized industry. East German productivity settled at roughly thirty to seventy-five percent of the West's, and the population had to build a WALL to stop its own citizens from swimming, tunneling, and hot-air-ballooning their way out. Nobody builds a wall to keep people from fleeing prosperity, Senator. Trial seven: Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge, 1975 to 1979. They abolished money entirely. No markets. No private property. Total state control, straight out of the textbook you apparently keep on your nightstand. One point seven to three million people, roughly a quarter of the country, died of starvation, overwork, and execution in FOUR YEARS. And for the extra credit column: Ethiopia's Derg collectivization, Tanzania's Ujamaa villages, Yugoslavia's market-socialism ceiling, Vietnam before it finally abandoned the model, India's decades of License Raj stagnation, and Poland and the rest of the Eastern Bloc running factories that burned three times the steel per unit of output compared to the free market next door. Every single trial, same hypothesis, same result. I have seen middle schoolers design better controlled experiments during a volcano science fair. That is not one anecdote, Bernie. That is a stack of peer-reviewed, historically documented, independently verified trials spanning four continents and a full century, and the conclusion section reads the same every time: shortages, queues, corruption, and a body count north of a hundred million people once you tally every collectivized farm, every purged kulak, and every commune that ran out of rice. If an experiment fails this many times in this many labs, a real scientist stops blaming the equipment and starts questioning the hypothesis. You, apparently, would rather run trial number eight on 340 million Americans and call it "finally getting it right." Trying to reason with some folks really is like trying to baptize a cat. Quinn's First Law of Liberalism: liberalism always generates the exact opposite of its stated intent. You want cheaper healthcare, you get record insurer profits. You want affordable food, you get a thirty-million-dollar failed grocery store. You want to fight the oligarchy, you fly private. Every single time. Set your watch by it. I keep asking Democrats this question and I never get an answer: what have YOU actually done to help people, versus just handing out someone else's money? Because handouts without a ladder out is not compassion. It is a leash. And I think deep down you know that, Senator, or you wouldn't need the private jet to get away from the people you claim to be fighting for. You're about as useful as a screen door on a submarine when it comes to actually running anything, but boy can you point fingers. You are the human version of period cramps on this topic, Bernie, and I mean that with the utmost respect for a man who has spent forty years discovering new ways to spend money he didn't earn. Has a leak in the think tank if he genuinely believes THIS is the moment socialism finally works. Unless your name is Google, Senator, you need to stop acting like you know everything about running an economy you have personally never had to run. But what do I know. I am only a medically retired Army combat medic and a science teacher who actually reads the Congressional Budget Office numbers before I open my mouth about a trillion-dollar healthcare takeover. @JoJoFromJerz @atrupar @TheYoungTurks #MAGA #Veterans #Trump

@EricLDaugh Bottom line is…decades have gone by in my life with NO smoke from Canada. Wildfire management is a choice. Lack of it is another game played by idiots.

🚨 BREAKING: Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) says the US will be SANCTIONING, holding assets, TARIFFING and withholding VISAS from Canada after wildfires went rampant and harmed the health of millions of Americans "It's being DUMPED on primarily the MIDWEST! Carney and Ford could've AVOIDED THIS PROBLEM. It's disgusting." "We're going to put sanctions on them. That means holding their assets, making certain that they don't have visas. We're going to put tariffs as President Trump talked about it, because we have to make certain that the people who are suffering get compensated!" 🔥 "This is an abject, avoidable disaster. And the left, who by the way, talks about climate change every single day, this is the worst environmental disaster you could ever imagine!" "This is totally avoidable. And it's not due to climate change. It's due to leadership change in Canada that's caused this problem." FAFO! @berniemoreno

@FPR215 Everyday at the DMV…

Pennsylvania is one of the states that have non-citizens registered to vote. The evidence is there for all of you deniers.

Still wrapping my head around last night. Forget what Trump said for a second. The bigger scandal is that major networks appointed themselves gatekeepers of truth — deciding what Americans could and couldn’t see, as if we’re too dumb to do our own research. They robbed people of the chance to watch raw and unfiltered in a supposedly free country. Let that sink in.

@nettermike I have no respect for anyone who allows a news organization to interpret information without listening to the speech yourselves. You are incredibly lazy or incredibly stupid…all of you…seriously. Your thoughts are worthless and uninformed. Your opinion…invalid.

Before switching over to the president, CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil explained: “Much of what the President has said on [security of American elections] has been false.” In other words CBS a news media outlet just called the President of the United States a liar making your mind up for you based on their opinion before Trump spoke How do you feel about THAT?

@upstatefederlst I read that Canada had access to a group of indigenous professionals who supervised controlled burns to curb wildfires. These groups are apparently no longer employed by the government…interesting read.

Canadians in the replies are like "what do you want us to do?" and the answer is "whatever you were doing before like 5 years ago when this never ever happened."

Hello. We found a homeless shelter in Pennsylvania that has 500+ voters registered to vote. The shelter only holds 100 beds. The PA Department of State has a lot of explaining to do. We’re finding this all over the state. Preserve your records. Game on.

@Undead__Paladin @patrickbetdavid My protective instincts did not but my children are adults living their lives. This makes my decision to risk my own life more palatable

@beth_ym @patrickbetdavid Do maternal protective instincts melt away when your kids leave home and require additional 24/7 security details while at college or in their adult lives?

Being a Supreme Court justice isn’t for everyone. It comes with threats. It comes with being hated for your positions. If you’re scarfed for your life, quit. Amy Coney Barrett should resign. Especially if “fear” compromised the way she voted.
