Crude oil hauler

The deli menu of politics.

.@POTUS on Ilhan Omar: "I believe she married her brother, which is totally illegal — although, it’s a lovely couple, actually, but it’s a little bit on the illegal side." "'Darling, I love you very much.' 'Goodnight, brother. Let’s go to bed' — Isn't she despicable?" 🤣

Texas has ALREADY appealed & halted this flawed ruling. The Meadow (Epic City) is also subject to other legal action by the state. And, there are active investigations by State agencies and by the federal government. This development will never see the light of day.

.@NASAAdmin: "The next step is go out further, it's to return to the moon. It's to pick up where Apollo 17 left off... President Trump said we are going back to stay, to build a moon base. That’s going to be a massive American outpost." 🚀🌕

Nothing infuriates an uninformed Congressional Dem more than when they realize they voluntarily triggered a debate with someone who actually knows what they are talking about, reads federal statute and adheres to Supreme Court precedent. Today’s self-implosion by @rosadelauro was quite remarkable to witness. Without apology or regret, I will always adhere to the best available reading of federal statute pursuant to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright.

🚨 HUGE WIN FOR AMERICA! Brooke Rollins just announced that 4.3 MILLION people have been kicked off food stamps. A massive cleanup of fraud and millions who never should have been on it in the first place. Finally, we’re stopping the abuse of hardworking American taxpayers. This is what real leadership looks like. Put America First!

Absolutely in awe of this clip of Ilhan Omar calling World War II “World War Eleven” Truly quality learing. We’re learing like we’ve never leared before.

Thinking is overrated… Just use @grok

I love this. 👇 To the person who wrote this, thank you for sharing what so many of us think of our President.♥️🇺🇸 Mr. President, ⠀ I don’t know if you’ll ever read this. Probably not. But I’m writing it anyway because my wife and I talk about this all the time, and somebody needs to say it out loud. ⠀ We can’t wait for the day you’re no longer President. ⠀ Not because we’re tired of you. The opposite. Because you deserve to go home. You deserve quiet mornings. You deserve to sit on your own porch without the weight of 330 million people sitting on your shoulders. You deserve your family back. You deserve peace. ⠀ You didn’t have to do any of this. ⠀ You had the money. You had the name. You had the life most men only dream about. You could’ve spent the rest of your days golfing, traveling, watching your grandkids grow up. ⠀ Instead you stepped into a fire that nearly cost you everything. ⠀ They mocked you. They sued you. They raided your home. They tried to bankrupt you. They tried to lock you up. They dragged your wife and kids through the mud. They put a bullet through your ear and you got up with your fist in the air and kept going. ⠀ For what? ⠀ For us. Regular people. Truck drivers. Welders. Waitresses. Roughnecks. Farmers. Single moms working two jobs. Grandparents on a fixed income watching the country they built get handed away. ⠀ You didn’t owe us a thing. And you gave us everything. ⠀ You risked your name. Your legacy. Your safety. Your family’s safety. Your brand. Your freedom. All of it. So this country could have one more shot at being what it was supposed to be. ⠀ And the truth nobody wants to admit? ⠀ We didn’t deserve a President like you. ⠀ A nation this divided, this ungrateful, this asleep at the wheel didn’t earn a man willing to bleed for it. But God sent you anyway. And I’ll thank Him for that until the day I die. 🙏 ⠀ So when the day finally comes that you walk away from that desk, I hope you sleep good. I hope your wife laughs again without looking over her shoulder. I hope your kids breathe easy. I hope you golf till the sun goes down and nobody bothers you for nothing. ⠀ You earned every bit of it. ⠀ Thank you, Mr. President. From a truck driver in Texas who prays for you often. ⠀ God bless you. God bless your family. And God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇸

The core argument of critical race theory is quite literally that any bad thing Blacks or other minorities do is white people's fault. The core argument of later-wave feminism is quite literally that any bad thing women do is men's fault. I can point you to chapter and verse here, if you want - i.e., Kendi (2020: 12). These are stupid and untenable ideologies.

@ChloeCole You're so amazing!!!

2 months straight of traveling state to state, campus to campus, I could count on one hand how many days I’ve been home. Things have been gruelingly busy at times but more than anything it’s been life-changing getting to make the difference on campus! I’m finally home!

The Mailbox Test, like the breakfast test, is an excellent way to tell who you can allow to wield power in your society. Goes like this: If someone is hurt trying to destroy someone else's stuff in order to take pleasure from their pain, do you sympathize with... The aggressor because he got hurt? Or with the guy who owns the stuff, because he wasn't the aggressor? You can have people in your society who fail the Mailbox Test. That's okay... they can work at hospices, or shelters for orphaned kittens, or something. But you cannot allow them to vote, or otherwise wield political power. Because if you do, they will open the gates of the city to the enemy. I am personally tired of everyone pretending that people who enjoy ruining things for random strangers are just kewt smol beans who are only aggressive because of all the complex socioeconomic factors and lack of resources. They knew someone would be hurt by what they did. They knew that someone had done literally nothing harmful to them. And those two ideas, in combination made them feel pleasure. And they went and did it. That is the sign of a rotten soul. Defending ourselves and our property is not just a right, it's a moral obligation. Otherwise, we just kick the can down the road for someone else to deal with, someone who may not be able to defend herself. I don't care if a vandal breaks his arms trying to destroy my stuff. Because I value my stuff more than a vandal's arms. And the fact that he tried to destroy somebody else's stuff shows that he, too, values his arms less than the opportunity to hurt somebody. We cannot allow such people inside the city, and we cannot give the keys to those who would open the gates for them.

Use at your own risk 🪄😼 #CatsOnX #crush

I just spoke to a friend of mine. Told him the Southern Poverty Law Center was funding the KKK and racism. He didn't believe me, had NO CLUE about any of it. I showed him my phone and all the X posts on it... Was absolutely stunned he hadn't heard about it AT ALL. This is the biggest civil rights scandal in a generation, and he had no idea. That's not an accident, by the way, it's a deliberate choice of the media to hide the truth. The best thing you can do for your friends right now is get them on X. As fast as possible, They're being lied to by silence... and they don't even know it's happening.

Thomas Sowell is 95 years old. Let that number sit with you. Ninety-five years on this earth, and in all of them, he has never held public office, never had a viral moment, never begged for anyone’s attention. What he has done is write 30 books and spend 50 years of patient research building a body of work that has outlasted every fashionable idea his critics tried to bury him with. While the loudest voices in Washington were chasing polls and the cleverest minds on campus were chasing grants, Sowell was in the library reading the data, tracking the outcomes, and dismantling one bad idea after another. He doesn’t argue feelings. He measures results. He isn’t selling anything. His whole approach boils down to one line that every politician and activist in this country should be forced to recite before they open their mouths: “There are no solutions. There are only trade-offs.” Sit with that, too. Every federal program, every mandate, every well-meaning crusade carries a cost, and somebody pays it. Sowell’s life work has been the simple act of asking who. Listen to him on the “help” our communities have been promised for two generations: “I’ve been doing studies now for 20 years of programs designed to increase equality. They increase inequality.” “Even when the programs are designed for disadvantaged groups, they help the affluent members of the disadvantaged groups, while the lower members of those groups fall further behind than ever before.” That is the whole affirmative action racket laid out in two sentences. The kids from the same zip codes as the Harvard faculty get the slot, while the kids from the neighborhoods that actually need a ladder are told to wait their turn. Sowell says it plain: “The vast majority of blacks who go to places like Harvard, Cornell, and Stanford are not blacks from the ghetto. They’re from the same neighborhoods as the whites there.” The race hustlers don’t want you to know that, because they need the grievance to stay in business. Sowell’s advice to young people cuts right through the hustle: “Stay away from the race hustlers.” “Equip yourself with skills that people are willing to pay for.” That is the whole ball game right there, a matter of skills, work, and accountability rather than slogans, hashtags, or another federal program designed to pad a consultant’s salary while leaving the South Side worse off than before. Here is the line I want every young person in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and every other corner of America to read tonight: “Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.” That one sentence explains our schools, our cities, and why the neighborhoods the War on Poverty was supposed to save are in worse shape now than they were before the checks started flowing. Sowell has pushed a whole generation of us to stop reacting and start asking harder questions. What are the incentives? Who actually benefits from this policy? What do the numbers look like five, ten, twenty years later? Ask those questions honestly, and the illusion falls apart. The most dangerous man in America right now isn’t the one shouting on television. He is the 95-year-old professor in Palo Alto who doesn’t need you to agree with him, because he has the data on his side. Ninety-five years of telling the truth. Thank you, Dr. Sowell.

and now Grok is telling the cretins to STFU this is an enormous step fwd from the ultra-consumerist "please stay on the line, your call is very important to us"

Vegans: "Drinking cow's milk is unnatural!" Great point. So instead of pulling on some teats for thirty seconds, we've developed a twelve-step industrial alternative. Step one: grow almonds in California, a drought-afflicted state currently depleting an aquifer that took twenty thousand years to fill. Step two: ship them to a processing facility. Step three: soak them in water. California water, specifically, because almonds need 15 gallons per ounce and California is already rationing. Step four: pulverise them into a slurry. Step five: filter the slurry through fine mesh, discarding most of the actual almond in the process. That was the bit with the nutrition in it. Gone now. Step six: add more water, because the resulting liquid isn't watery enough. Step seven: add sweeteners, because it tastes of nothing. Step eight: add emulsifiers, because it separates in six minutes otherwise. Step nine: add synthetic vitamins, because all the natural ones left in step five. Step ten: add seed oils, because we apparently learned nothing. Step eleven: homogenise, degas, pasteurise, and sterilise the mixture until it resembles no food that has ever existed in nature. Step twelve: put it in a carton with a picture of a field on it. The cow: stands in a field. Makes milk. Has done this for ten thousand years. No factory. No steps. No aquifer. Unnatural, though. Very unnatural.

Good morning and blessed Sunday! These loving owls remind us that love is the masterpiece, and we’re the pieces that complete it. Grateful for the beauty of connection today. Wishing you a day filled with peace and wonder! 🦉❤️🔊
