@JulieBorowski This is hilarious. People can’t process sarcasm when it stares them in the face. 🤦‍♂️

Proud to endorse Ed Gallrein against Thomas Massie. Massie keeps voting against trillion-dollar spending bills, foreign wars, and giving the federal government unlimited power. I want a candidate who will put America second, raise the debt ceiling to infinity, and get us involved in every conflict on Earth.

@naomirwolf @thehealthb0t @DrJackKruse We spend considerably more money to buy true incandescent bulbs. Worth every penny. The difference is literally night and day. LED bulbs have their place, but not in every lamp or fixture inside your home.

@hanno_sauer I can’t disagree. As a former cop for a decade in the 80s I was repulsed by the myopic mindset. In fact most of the world was not what we thought it was from the inside. That said, later, after 2 decades on air in TV news, I said the same thing about TV newsrooms.

When I talk to police officers privately, they almost always say the same thing: "you have no idea what's going on out there in the real world". To which I reply: I think the opposite is true. *You* have no idea what's going on out there, because you have self-selected into a

Your odds of being struck by lightning are more than seven times greater than getting Hantavirus in the USA. About 250 people get struck by lightening each year. There are about 35 cases per year of Hantavirus in the UEA, with about 12 deaths per year on average. Obviously, Hantavirus shouldn't be a big concern for the vast majority of Americans.

@mtgreenee @RealCandaceO Nothing says you are a man child with no ability to control your emotions than something like this. Can you imagine a real, mannered, CEO doing this, or instructing someone to do this? Pathetic.

President Trump hates women he can’t control, who don’t worship him, women who actually worship God, and are much more intelligent than he is. Women like @RealCandaceO. This cruel post about Candace looks like something Laura Loomer would conjure up as she gives Trump his talking points, policy decisions, and political advice which is literally destroying him and the Republican Party. Trump refused to support the women who were victims of Epstein, he called me a traitor for supporting them and not bowing to him, he is attacking Megyn Kelly, and Candace Owens. Also the only people in his cabinet that he’s either fired or privately told to leave are women, Christi Noem, Pam Bondi, and Lori Chavez DeReemer. He appointed Elise Stefanik as ambassador of the UN then took it away without a care even after all she did to support him just because Johnson told him too. No matter what you think about any of us women as we are all different from each other, whether you like us or not, one thing is incredibly clear, Trump hates women. And posts like this one is going to turn the majority of women in America against him.

@blish4 @Matt_Pinner Ditto. I’m 63. Saw my doc for last week. Allergies. His exact words. “You are in better fitness now than when I started seeing you in 2005.” I’d just run 3 miles 90 mins before that visit. BP 112/68 no drugs. It’s possible. But not as easy as age 23. That’s true.

@DowdEdward Boom! @DowdEdward I began following you back when Covid was starting. You were the voice of reason then, with stats, numbers and such. You continue to be the voice of reason still to this day. And this is spot on.

@FmrRepMTG @delilah1378510 I left TV news in 2004. It’s only gotten worse. Remember when we’d see Peter Jennings from the bureau in Israel or reporters in the field sending back reports on what was happening? It’s all smoke and mirrors now.

Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸
At this time in history, mankind has more cameras recording everything that’s happening all over the world yet people are kept in the dark, not shown actual war footage and the truth of what is really happening in Iran, Lebanon, and Gaza. War used to be broadcasted on the nightly news now you are only told by the talking heads what is happening and what you are supposed to think about it. Most of the videos we see are from people’s cell phone videos that they managed to post on the internet somehow and even then many times it gets censored. And many of the war journalists that tried to cover the atrocities in Gaza were killed by the IDF so that the world wouldn’t know the horrors. Yesterday, Trump announced at a campaign event in Arizona that he ended more wars, claiming Israel would stop bombing Lebanon yet soon after he bragged, Israel started bombing Lebanon again. Trump also claimed the Strait of Hormuz is open and China is happy as he looks forward to their meeting. Yet overnight, Iran closed the Strait and has fired on multiple ships. There is a giant gap between the President’s Truth Social post and speeches and actual real truth and this must be rectified. The most concerning part is actual events contradict the President and suggest that he has lost control over his war in Iran. Trump is not a peace president nor is he a Truth teller.

@sizzle_sarah Interesting observation. I never took it. My wife didn’t either. But I told her not long ago, almost all of my male friends took it. Without hesitation. Female friends I know. Didn’t. Interesting psychology going on right there.

@elonmusk Correct. Once your child can read, write, do basic math, they can self learn. Especially in today’s world where the information is so readily available. Traditional school settings are often nothing more than filling the day with time killers until the bell rings.

Elon Musk
Elon Musk@elonmusk·
Yes
Dustin@r0ck3t23

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.
