@craig3352 We see this kind of computation often. Park free and risk a parking ticket in london, or pay for parking. It used to be the case you might get one parking ticket per month. So the payoff to the scofflaw was huge. The one ticket would cost about 2 days parking, so 18 free

This dickhead was just fined $42,000 for illegally clearing almost 500 acres of habitat. If he had sought the correct permits it would have cost him $2.248 million. That fine will really teach him a lesson. 🤨

@armano I use freeze miser devices on mine here in the Dallas area. I bought them on a whim. They have worked a treat. And, yes I am real. And no, I am not a shill for the company!

Both my GenZ boys live in a Townhome I bought and pay me rent. We had a multi day freeze here in Texas. The good news: they let their faucets drip out of pipe freezing precaution The bad news: they misinterpreted what drip means. I got an alert from utility co. 1k gallons…🤦

@tedcruz Please explain high costs for healthcare premiums in the private sector USA. Medicare does seem to deliver more affordability. Maybe divert some of the massive overheads from the insurance industry to the people delivering the care?

@erickimberling It's been my experience that when a project is named for its technology it's a bad sign. All too often I see phrases like "SAP Project" when really we should be calling it by its business value name.

A key reason ERP projects fail is the gap between desired business operations and the technology deployed. Even perfect tech can fail if it doesn't align with the operational model. A clear vision of the operating model and how tech supports it is crucial. #ERP #ProjectManagement

@RepBethVanDuyne Looking forward to hearing you explain this to your constituents in person. From the outside it looks like tax the small guys so you can reduce taxes on the wealthy. Drive up revenue through a non tax tax. So that you can make the wealthy more so.

Tariffs are part of a long term and complex strategy. They are a tool for negotiating, gaining market access for American products, and they will work alongside slashing federal regulations, cutting taxes on working families and small businesses, and American energy dominance to drive a manufacturing renaissance that we need in America.

@RepBethVanDuyne @DOGE @realDonaldTrump @elonmusk May I respectfully suggest that since Congress has responsibility for the allocation and spending of funds, it should itself provide the proper oversight. Getting funds for your home district is popular, gets you elected. DOGE should be unnecessary.

Democrats are sadly choosing to fearmonger about @DOGE because they don’t want to give up their grift. President @realDonaldTrump and @elonmusk are working to ensure our taxpayer dollars are used responsibly, not on absurd projects like transgender mice.

@RepBethVanDuyne @RepFeenstra A friend here in Texas has been a foster parent for decades. He and his wife have finally given up because CPS, families of origin and others have made it incredibly hard to keep going. So sad.

@Trumpgirl21tx @JDVanceNewsX @gregkellyusa @NEWSMAX What we buy is largely our own choice. Don't like HFCS? Don't buy the drinks. We generally don't like to be told what to do (single use plastic bags, anyone?) So, while "foods" are engineered to be really appealing, we consumers can take responsibility for our own decisions.

@gregkellyusa on @NEWSMAX showed some interesting pictures of crowds of people on the beach back in the 70’s and you couldn’t see one overweight person in the pictures. We really do need to MAHA & should hold food manufacturers to certain standards of ingredients they use. Our healthcare & insurance would sure be better!

@RepBethVanDuyne Madam van Duyne. If you think that some government agencies have incidents of corruption, why hasn't Congress, the body to which you are elected, been watching the spending authorized by you? Why do we need an unappointed agency doing your job?

Democrats turned a blind eye to the predatory situation they created for hundreds of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children. I repeatedly pressed Biden Administration officials about this, but they refused to answer, even after an HHS whistleblower said the U.S. government had become a middleman in a disturbing child trafficking operation. I thank President Trump for taking this seriously and will be closely following the investigation!
Jennie Taer@JennieSTaer

SCOOP: The Trump admin is launching a probe into the extremely lax HHS vetting for migrant kids under Biden that left thousands vulnerable to sex trafficking and exploitation We obtained an internal report detailing major issues with the vetting process for the sponsors of these kids. One photo, submitted by a man who wanted custody of a migrant child, showed the child’s mother crudely photoshopped into the image to claim he had a relationship with her. The mother’s feet were clipped off in the botched clip-art job. In another case, a man used a Guatemalan photo ID that clearly was not him.

@DrNeilStone Both my wife and I have had every dose available and are very healthy. Both over 70 years old. Thank goodness for the research and dedication of all who worked to produce these and other important vaccines. Oh and yes, I tested positive for a week and had zero symptoms.

@morganlinton @altcap Surely the implication is that even having what you consider to be a healthy lifestyle, it doesn't make you immune to bad outcomes. Get tested.

@altcap Thanks for sharing Brad and super interesting 🤔 Is your implication here that because the person was a vegetarian this happened to them? I’m trying to understand what you’re pointing to as the cause? I always thought being a vegetarian would help you avoid this not cause it.

Another life saved by the CT scan! This is what 90% blockage looks like. 50, vegetarian, no alcohol, exercise, no symptoms, ldl cholesterol 90 (in the green). Took the scan, got a stent & avoided the silent killer. Do the same. $150 & 15 mins can save your life! 🤍🙏
