@MLBShotsFired @EricSpracklen $7 for a hot dog?? Insane!

Inflation is completely out of control, you can’t even take 3 kids to a Detroit Tigers game anymore without spending an arm and a leg! Crazy!

@Breaking911 When I was in a school May day had a different meaning. Not teachers' using students to get raises. Home school. Save the kids!

Thousands are protesting in Raleigh, North Carolina, for May Day, with teachers joining “Kids Over Corporations” rallies for more education funding, prompting last-minute school schedule changes in at least 11 districts.

@PeachProof23 @CoVet_81 Interesting. Have used sage before, never coffee grounds. We always save our for garden. Will try the drying and burning.

The Backyard Hack You Didn't Know You Needed! ​Tired of being the main course for mosquitoes every time you step outside? This simple coffee ground trick is about to be your new best friend for those late-night porch sessions. ​Here’s the play: 1. ​Shape some aluminum foil into a small bowl. 2. ​Fill it with dry coffee grounds (fresh or used—just make sure they’re dry!). 3. ​Light the top with a lighter until it starts to smolder. 4. ​Let that aromatic smoke do its thing! ​The scent is pleasant for us, but mosquitoes absolutely hate it. It stays lit for hours, giving you a natural, bite-free zone. ​Bonus Hack: The "Sage" Advice ​If you’re already firing up the grill or have a small fire pit going, toss a few sprigs of dried sage or rosemary onto the coals. The smoke from these herbs acts as a natural deterrent as well. It’s a double win: your backyard smells like a high-end spa, and the bugs stay far, far away! ​Pro-Tip: If you’re using old grounds, let them dry out completely on a baking sheet first. Wet grounds won't smolder and will just leave you frustrated. ​What’s your go-to trick for keeping the bugs at bay?

🚨 THIS IS COMMON SENSE 🇺🇸 End property taxes at 65, let seniors stay in their homes instead of being taxed out by greedy local governments. No more forcing retirees to sell the house they’ve paid off just to pay endless taxes. Protect our seniors.

@theblaze Been there. It is a dirty filthy stinking shithole.

Sotomayor: "We have a president saying that Haiti is a filthy, dirty, and disgusting s***hole country and he complained that the United States takes people from such countries instead of people from Norway, Sweden, or Denmark."

@gotrice2024 Had stove delivered by Home Depot. Random heavy tape job, delivery guys left before we removed all the tape. Dented, of course. Demanded a new stove and had it delivered the next day.

This man went to pic up his new fridge from the store. It was almost $2000, brand new and still on the pallet strapped in. He did notice there was a tear in the plastic wrap. He inspected it further and saw it was a nice size dent. While he still wants the fridge and understands accidents happen, this was still unacceptable to him. Should he have waited for them to order in another one or was the $50 credit the store offered good enough for what they did?

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump TERMINATED the Obama-era mandate that pushed auto start-stop systems into vehicles. You know the one. You stop at a red light. Your engine shuts off. Every. Single. Time. Doesn’t matter if you hate it. Doesn’t matter if it wears down the starter. Doesn’t matter if you have to turn it off manually every time you start the car. It was forced in the name of “efficiency.” Trump just ended it. No more government telling automakers how to design your engine. No more being annoyed at every stoplight. Build better cars. Let consumers choose. Common sense is back.

@warDaniel47 @JeannieGiering She's a tool. Like the biden group. All just tools.

🚨 HOLY CRAP. This actually just happened on Capitol Hill. SEN. JOSH HAWLEY: "Can men get pregnant?" LIBERAL DR. VERMA: "I'm not sure what the goal of the question is." HAWLEY: "The goal is to establish a biological reality. Can men get pregnant?" VERMA: "I take care of people with many identities." HAWLEY: "Can men get pregnant?" VERMA: "Again, as I'm saying-" HAWLEY: "You said science and evidence should control. Can men get pregnant? You're a doctor, I think." VERMA: "Science and evidence should guide medicine." HAWLEY: "Do science and evidence tell us that men can get pregnant?" VERMA: "I think yes-no questions like this are a political tool." WOW. 🤯🤯🤯 @HawleyMO

@SusieM414141 @CL4WS_OUT Creepy as hell. And the parents, whoa. They are seriously messed up to make their kids do that stuff.

There are people on both sides of this argument. Which side are you on? Do you think pageants are healthy for young children, or do they objectify them? I’d like to see them dressed more like children. I know they learn skills they can use in the future.

@PeriklesGREAT @CoVet_81 Oh brother where art though, band of brothers, mash, blazing saddles.

Movie you've seen at least 10 times?

@TaraBull Haha I can see myself doing that after a few margaritas lol

I wonder if they're still there

@paxtondrexler @VigilantFox Good luck to you. Don't hurry weaning off.

@paxtondrexler @VigilantFox I've recovered from what I was initially being treated for. Amazingly, it was just time I needed, not the drugs. In hindsight I will look more into my diet/lifestyle and seek homeopathic methods. Lexapro is poison.

Mikhaila Peterson says she went through “two years of pure hell” when she decided to stop taking SSRIs. She didn’t need the drugs anymore. Her paleo/keto diet had put her depression into remission. The first few days off the medication, she felt “on top of the world.” But once week two hit, her life “turned upside down.” For years, she blamed her “intolerable symptoms” on what she ate. Little did she know… she was actually experiencing severe antidepressant withdrawal. One of the symptoms Mikhaila experienced during her own SSRI withdrawal is the same condition her dad is suffering from right now: akathisia. Akathisia is an extremely distressing neurological condition that makes you feel an unbearable inner restlessness and agitation. This condition, she describes as “the worst thing I’ve ever seen anyone go through…” When Mikhaila experienced it, she described it as being “overwhelmed with a sense of impending doom that was stronger than anything you can naturally feel.” “It felt like I was falling into a volcano while being chased by a bear,” she said. @MikhailaFuller’s gut-wrenching anti-depressant story is available to read in full here: prescribed-harm.com/stories/story-… But as bad as her experience was, her dad is currently going through a form of akathisia that’s even worse. 🧵

Disney banned a Trump supporter for LIFE for holding up a “Trump 2020” sign on Splash Mountain. Yet Jimmy Kimmel still has a job after calling First Lady Melania Trump an “expectant widow.”

@paxtondrexler @VigilantFox I weaned myself off Lexapro with Dr help. However the constant brain zaps took a couple years to completely clear up. Was on it twice, weaned off twice. Never ever again.

@VigilantFox Thinking of weening off a small 10mg dose of Lexapro that I was put on long before I knew any better. It actually helped me alot and I’m not seeing any adverse conditions from it, I’d just rather not take it anymore. Does anyone have any advice for stopping the use of an SSRI?

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@AntiLeftMemes Can he possibly get any weirder or attention seeking?

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this outfit of Will Smith's son Jayden Smith?

@Inspirenaire Best video I'll watch today ❤️

Coming back to show love and gratitude to the elders.
