Spencer Pratt: I will clean up homeless encampments, address drug addicts, & prevent fires from burning down people's homes. Karen Bass: I will spend your money on teeth for meth addicts. Nithya Raman: I will ban grilling burgers in the backyard. Your choice, Los Angeles.

@53flatbed @CynicalPublius Remake is actually better.

@CynicalPublius I saw the “old version” when it opened in the theater. I’ll never watch a remake……especially with Harrelson.

I was just re-watching "Midway" (the new Woody Harrelson version, not the old Charlton Heston version). Dick Best sank two Japanese aircraft carriers at Midway. How was he not awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor?

@WretchedDog1725 @histories_arch Yes. But by that point in the war it the operation was more for some general to get credit for an offensive operation than out of necessity.

@histories_arch "The cost was immediate and visible, many soldiers never made it to the ground alive, becoming caught in trees or exposed in open fields." -- wait until you learn about the D-day landings in Normandy. War is always risky.

A dead US Paratrooper of the 17th Airborne Division suspended from his parachute in a tree near Wesel, Germany during Operation Varsity - March 24, 1945.... Operation Varsity was the largest single-day airborne operation in history, launched in support of the Allied push into Germany. Thousands of American and British paratroopers were deployed behind enemy lines under heavy fire, facing anti-aircraft guns, small arms, and hazardous landing zones filled with trees and urban obstacles. The cost was immediate and visible, many soldiers never made it to the ground alive, becoming caught in trees or exposed in open fields. More than 16,000 airborne troops participated in Operation Varsity, and despite its success, the 17th Airborne Division alone suffered over 1,300 casualties in a single day. © Reddit #archaeohistories

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled potato and it ruined his life for the rest of time? This is infinitely worse.

@BBGreatMoments Yamamoto

Name a pitcher you'd want starting Game 7. Mine is Madison Bumgarner.

@BBGreatMoments Todd Worrell

Name a closer had good save totals but made every inning feel like a disaster.

@SteveGuest @RyanSaavedra Of course Wolf Blitzer’s first thought was about himself.

WATCH: CNN's Wolf Blitzer witnessed the White House Correspondents Dinner SHOOTING. Blitzer was headed to the men's room and was near the shooter. Per Blitzer: "All of a sudden I start hearing gunshots in the hall right near me...the next thing I knew, a police officer threw me to the ground and was on top of me... Of course first thing went through my mind, is he trying to shoot me? ... I was very close to him as the gunshots were fired."

@BBGreatMoments Zach Greinke

Name a pitcher who could hit and you actually looked forward to his at-bats.

Here is what I tend to notice – – the pastors who are most concerned with Christians being overly political because they are conservative are the same pastors whose feeds are almost nothing, but their negative thoughts about Trump. Whereas most of the politically conservative pastors I know rarely post about Trump. Funny that.

Annual reminder that Earth Day was founded buy a dude so devoted to environmentalism that he killed and composted his girlfriend nbcnews.com/id/wbna42711922

Who’s the first player you think of when you see this Marlins logo?

@NotKennyRogers I always remember hearing their Bob Knight Talking Doll Skit!

So sad to hear this. I grew up listening to Bob & Tom while my mom would drive us to school in the morning. They were the reason so many of us Hoosiers ended up with such warped senses of humor. Bob was an absolute ICON in the radio industry and was kind enough to chat with me from time to time on here through DMs. Not sure he realized how cool that was for me, but I really appreciated it. My heart goes out to his wonderful wife Becky and their entire family. RIP Legend.

A lot of pearl clutching from the usual suspects online and on the cable news panels about “ending civilization.” Take a breath. Let’s do some critical thinking and pretend like we actually know how President Trump communicates. Should he be taken literally? Like you really believe he’s going to vaporize the Persian population? Really? Have you been paying attention the last 11 years? President Trump speaks in terms of POWER, which is the only language our adversaries understand. Carefully worded diplomatic statements make the UN feel nice and cozy but also don’t get anything done. Pay attention to his actions. And so far the actions have left the Iranian military in shambles, their ballistic mission program nearly gone, and their nuclear program nearly destroyed. The President is rightfully prioritizing the need for overwhelming force in order to open the Straits of Hormuz. That’s it. That’s the action we can expect.

@DavidAFrench Oh and he averted bloodshed

We don't know the real terms of the ceasefire. We don't know if it will last. We do know that American forces were not ordered to commit a crime against humanity tonight -- an event that could break the military and trigger a constitutional crisis. I'm relieved, but I'm also furious that he put the innocent people of Iran, our nation, and the world through one of the most senseless, anxious, and dangerous days in recent history. And he might do it again.

@primenbv @jessedtt @NASA Due to climate change.

@jessedtt @NASA Ok so the moon is closer to the earth now than when Apollo mission landed on it?

LIVE: Watch with us as the Artemis II astronauts make their closest approach to the Moon, traveling farther from Earth than ever before. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@NASA @dandarling Can they use those miles on any domestic airlines?

A new milestone for humankind: The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth. This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.

My message here clearly struck a nerve. A few friends from when I was press secretary, domestically and abroad, don’t like what I said. Instead of seeing how Western European nations must change, they just want to attack Trump. The reason it struck a nerve is because they recognize that this time NATO nations are being held to account. They know they’ve come up short for decades and by denying us overflight rights, they’ve gone too far. Americans are fed up, especially with France and Spain. Trump won’t stand for it and they know it. They now fear the consequences of their inaction. The UK, unlike its days under Thatcher or Blair, is wishy-washy. They’ve often been a good allie, but this time they want to sit it out and have it both ways. We can use their bases, but only for limited operations. At least the UK spends real money on defense. France, Spain, and Italy are another story. So too is Canada. None of these four contribute seriously to NATO. They’re laggards, trying to get away with it. Spain and France force our pilots to fly thousands of miles out of the way (I thought they didn’t like carbon footprints) en route to Iran. Eastern Europe is a different story. They spend more on defense and they understand power. They lived under Soviet domination and recognize weakness when they see it. They won’t be weak. Western European governments, especially France, are good at issuing communiques and statements. They enjoy hosting conferences. They love to ponder deeply. Getting them to act is another matter, unless it’s to purchase Russian LNG, which they still do. The world is changing. Out of this war will come a new group of younger nations that understand real power and the importance of strength. The UAE, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Eastern Europe will emerge stronger than ever. Western Europe will continue to fall behind. As for Trump, you don’t have to like him. He often says things none of his predecessors would say. But don’t underestimate the fact that US taxpayers are fed up with nations that don’t pull their weight, and then force our pilots to take risks and longer flights so we can rid the world from the menace that is Iran. Today’s Western European leaders would rather mollify Iran and pay them ransoms (trade) than support the US. Things are different today. We all know it. The UK, France, Spain and Italy (despite its Prime Minister) have earned the consequences that will unfold. They could have and should have supported us. Not as a NATO alliance. But as individual free nations. All we wanted was overflight rights and full access to airfields. They’ve made their choices. Soon, they’ll see the results.

@Arrogance_0024 @JJCarafano Both flags in your bio owe much to US aircrews.

@JJCarafano Everyone notices the incredible efficiency of the US Air Force.

Lose all this to rescue 1 pilot and call it your greatest military success of all time.

@RealWayneDupree Germans shot down planes in the final week of WW2. By late April 1945, the German military was “largely decimated.”

✈️ Iran shoots down F-15E, A-10 crashes near Hormuz—first manned US aircraft lost to enemy fire in monthlong war. Contradicts claims Iran defenses "largely destroyed." #IranWar #TruthOverSpin

@BillKristol Pretty rich coming from the guy who wrote a book justifying the Iraq invasion

Our “Christian” secretary of defense.
