Robert Smalls should be in Statuary Hall

@soirchick @iowahawkblog @Mark_E_Noonan Instead of debate each candidate gets to select someone to cross examine their opponent for 30 minutes, under oath.

@iowahawkblog @Mark_E_Noonan Hooking politicians up to lie detectors during debates. Bonus if they activate flame throwers that set their pants on fire.

Welcome to my no-judgment brainstorming session. Remember, there is no such thing as a bad idea, now let's hear what you got

@ingelramdecoucy Eddie was around to vote for the people that adopted the Bill of Rights

“We should regulate and ban modern guns because when the founders wrote the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms they meant muskets” … “We should regulate and ban muskets”

@marceelias Why does that same constitution have a provision for amendments?

I quoted the Virginia Constitution and Republicans are losing their minds.🤯 Jonathan Turley suggested I am a "radical" and "Jacobian" for literally quoting the Virginia Constitution's Bill of Rights.😂

@DutchRojas Hospital Billing is an unfair and deceptive trade practice.

You pay your insurance premiums for thirty years. You get hit by a car. Your insurance pays the hospital in full. Two weeks later, the hospital’s law firm sends you a bill for $80,000. The state lien statute lets the hospital collect twice. Your auto settlement goes to the hospital. You get nothing. This is legal in 42 states. The Rojas Report drops the full breakdown today.

@JTAlexander “Bioethics” isn’t Ethics

Hot Take, I guess, but I don’t believe in freedom of speech enough to justify why even writing this paper shouldn’t be grounds to throw someone in prison for life.

🚨 20 ARRESTS. ATTEMPTED MURDER. ONE MONTH OUT OF JAIL. THEN HE WALKED INTO A JET ENGINE — AND NEARLY TOOK 231 SOULS WITH HIM. ☠️👿✈️ In the shadow of Denver International’s perimeter fence, 41-year-old Michael Mott — a man with over 20 arrests dating back to 2002 — delivered the most savage indictment of our justice system yet. 2005: Arrested for attempted murder with a gun. Pleaded down to second-degree assault. Served just six years. In prison: Charged with felony assault with a weapon. Post-release: Domestic violence, felony menacing, burglary, assault on a peace officer. April 10, 2026 — one month before the incident — arrested again for felony trespass and resisting. Released. On May 8, he scaled an 8-foot barbed-wire fence, ignored the alarms (dismissed as “deer”), strolled calmly onto Runway 17L, and stepped directly into the path of Frontier Flight 4345, accelerating for takeoff to LAX. 231 passengers. Pilots aborting at 127 knots. Engine fire. Smoke-filled evacuation. Twelve injured. Mott? Sucked into the turbine and pulverized into pink vapor. The medical examiner ruled it suicide — but the real casualty was every principle of ordered liberty. This wasn’t a “tragedy.” It was the logical endpoint of a system that treats violent recidivists like redeemable nuisances instead of societal predators. Plea bargains dilute justice. Early releases recycle danger. “Compassion” for the criminal becomes indifference to the innocent. Physics, unlike our courts, does not negotiate with woke dipshidiot twatwaffles. A jet engine at takeoff thrust rendered the verdict that the law kept deferring. We don’t need more studies. We need a justice system that incapacitates the Michael Motts of the world before they force 231 strangers to pay the price. The passengers survived by a miracle, not by policy. How many more “miracles” before we admit the policy is the problem? #JetEngineJustice #RecidivistReckoning #20StrikesAndStillFree #FixTheSystemOrBurn #DenverAirportBreach #PublicSafetyFirst #NoMoreRevolvingDoors

Then the 1789 Hurricane Season began The Great Hurricane of 1780 had the largest death toll of any Atlantic hurricane. It claimed 22,000+ lives. Wind speeds have been estimated at 200 mph. The 1780 Hurricane season was so severe it may have contributed to the American victory at Yorktown the following year by diminishing British Navy forces in the Atlantic. IT HAPPENED DURING THE LITTLE ICE AGE. americanheritage.com/did-hurricanes…

On May 12, 1780, the British won the Revolutionary War. At least, that's what London believed when the news crossed the Atlantic that summer. Charleston, the wealthiest city in the American South, the fourth-largest in the colonies, the great port that funded the rebellion's southern campaigns, had fallen after a 42-day siege. Roughly 5,000 American soldiers laid down their muskets. Sir Henry Clinton sailed back to New York convinced the southern colonies were pacified for good and left General Lord Cornwallis to mop up. Within weeks, the British issued a proclamation: every South Carolinian must swear active loyalty to the Crown. Not just neutrality, but a willingness to take up arms against their neighbors. It was a catastrophic miscalculation. Men who had been ready to sit out the war suddenly had to choose sides. Many chose rebellion. The backcountry exploded. A militia colonel named Francis Marion vanished into the swamps with a handful of men and started ambushing British supply columns, earning the nickname "the Swamp Fox." Thomas Sumter ("the Gamecock") raised his own partisan band. At Kings Mountain in October, frontier riflemen annihilated an entire Loyalist force in 65 minutes. Eighteen months after Charleston fell, Cornwallis surrendered his army at Yorktown. Lesson the British learned the hard way: taking the city is not taking the country.

What did the Rocket Scientist Fascists do? As the threat of the fires encroached on the campus, JPL closed its doors on 8 January to all but emergency response personnel. Following its long-standing fire protocols, the lab has kept its hillside campus clear of brush and other potential fuel for a fire, created firebreaks, maintained an on-site fire department, and kept close track of the materials and chemicals in all lab spaces. eos.org/articles/jet-p…

Nothing says fascism like demanding that your house not burned down because of government incompetence

@alex_fasulo @nighthawkmoon Name this Solar Park please

The “clean” energy they promised you. Broken, shattered solar panels leaching cadmium, lead, PFAS, microplastics, and glass shards into what was previously prime farmland and habitat. The broken panels have been there for years according to locals. The solar company doesn’t care. They already grabbed their subsidies and credits. No one monitors these facilities. That’s why they install perimeter fencing. This land will never be farmed again. Upstate NY has been invaded.

Robert Smalls was born a slave in 1839. At age 14, His master hired him out to the owner of the steamship Planter in Charleston. In the early morning hours of May 13, 1862, Smalls (aged 22) freed himself, his crew, their families and 4 Confederate harbor defense cannons by commandeering the ship, and sailing it from the Confederate-controlled waters past Fort Sumter to the U.S. blockade that surrounded the harbor. He was later elected to the United States Congress as a Republican. Late in his life Democrats used lawfare to end his political career. I have a copy of The New Simms History of South Carolina published in 1940 and adopted as the official public school text book on SC history. It has an orange cover but, the cover should be white. It is definitely not a book written by the victors. It was written by the granddaughter of William Gilmore Simms, a famous antebellum pro slavery author, and it shows. A former slave Robert Smalls, a brave Civil War hero and Republican Congressman is not mentioned. Robert Smalls should be in Statuary Hall.

@mynamehear There’s a reason Hollywood hasn’t made a movie about one of the biggest badasses of the civil war. x.com/txsalth2o/stat…

The South is amazing. Imagine making absolutely zero progress in basically any area for 160 years. That's almost a talent.

@mynamehear 160 years ago, the South was ran by democrats. Took way too long to get rid of them. But we did it!! I’d say that’s some pretty good progress. 😎

Imagine being a Christian slave, and watching the integrated Union Army march south, singing "The Battle Hymn of the Republic," with regimental priests keeping pace with them. Pretty cool. As with the liberation of the death camps, the coming of the Light is a real thing. Odd to hate that.

The Democrats have been screaming that Jim Crow is back! Just to test it out, I went outside to see if I now have less rights as a black man. I started humming a negro spiritual and set out on my way. Got on a bus. Sat in front. No one said anything to me. Took it one stop and then did the walk of shame back to my truck. Went to a restaurant. Sat at the counter. The nice man behind it asked me if I wanted a menu. I informed him this was just a test and he passed. The look of confusion on his face let me know the Democrats hadn’t informed him I can’t sit at restaurant counters. Looked for separate bathrooms and water fountains. Couldn’t find a single one. Got immediate side eye from an older black woman when I asked her if she’d noticed any separate water fountains or bathrooms. Her answer wasn’t Christian. Tried looking for a freedom march so I could join it and see if I’d get hosed or dogs turned on me. No marches. I did see someone with a Pomeranian dog, though, but it didn’t attack me. So… based on my evidence, Jim Crow is still dead. The Democrats lied.

@MarsyZepata @RoKhanna Tim Scott won a congressional seat in a majority white district in 2010

No black man could ever win in South Carolina without racially drawn maps that base districts based on skin color of residents. This is why no black man has ever won a state wide race in that racist state. We need to put all black people into black only districts and isolate them from the rest of the country.

South Carolina, where the first shot of the civil war was fired, where 40 percent of those enslaved came through the Charleston port, is today engaged in an ugly recidivism to draw maps that will deny a Black person the chance to serve in Congress. The stakes could not be higher. Our political fight is not on a playground, but a moral battleground. We must stand for Black representation across the South.

@GrageDustin @RoKhanna Scott beat Strom Thurmond’s son in a Republican primary

@RoKhanna Tim Scott has been elected statewide multiple times in South Carolina. You’re retarded, Ro.

@RealJamesWoods @SC_Golfer If calling him mini Trump fails so do they

They burned down his house and now he’s going to burn down their whole shitty operation. Man, who ever imagined Spencer Pratt would become a folk hero saving Los Angeles. Keep talking, lady. Your smug commie face is exactly why he’s going to win.

@julie_kelly2 wattsupwiththat.com/2026/05/10/net…

"A Pratt victory could impact mayoral races in other blue cities next year. Democratic incumbents are up for re-election in Chicago, San Antonio, Jacksonville, Columbus, and Denver. With the exception of Chicago, few other cities are in worse shape than Los Angeles, however...

There was a time, not that long ago, when 70/30 ground beef was the standard cut at every butcher counter. Not the premium. Not the specialty. The standard. The default the butcher handed you when you said "a pound please" without specifying further. Thirty percent fat by weight, because that is the ratio at which ground beef actually tastes like beef, holds together on a grill, drips through the grates onto charcoal and smokes the patty from below, and feeds a family of five for what a coffee costs today. The Sunday burgers depended on it. The Wednesday meatloaf. The Friday chili that simmered all afternoon and tasted better the next day. The neighborhood cookout where dads stood around the grill with a beer and a spatula and a sense of purpose. A whole summer rotated through 70/30, and nobody got fat, and nobody had heart attacks at fifty-two, and nobody asked the butcher whether it was lean. He wouldn't have understood the question. Lean was for the dog. Then 1977 happened. The McGovern Report came in. The food pyramid followed. "Extra lean" appeared as a category. The default crept down. 70/30 became hard to find. 80/20 quietly replaced it. The children grew up not knowing it had been anything else. Then 80/20 started disappearing. 85/15. 90/10. 93/7 marketed as "extra lean" with a heart-check logo and a markup. Ground turkey next to it, beige and apologetic, the color of a hospital wall. Now the floor at most supermarkets is 90/10 and the ceiling is whatever the butcher will grind for you if you smile and ask. 80/20 has been quietly reframed as "the fatty option." The upscale grocer's butcher will warn you about 70/30 with a small chuckle, as if you'd asked for arsenic and he had a duty of care. You have asked for the cut your great-grandfather grilled in the backyard after he came home from the war. He has been trained to advise you against it. So. Plainly. Find the 70/30 where you can. Local butchers will grind it on request. Farm stands will do it. The good neighborhood carnicerias often have it as their default, because their customers actually cook. If you find a place that sells it, tell them you'll be back, and be back. Where 70/30 isn't available, use 80/20 as the floor. Not the ceiling. The floor. Anything leaner has been engineered for a market that has been quietly turned against the food it was built to eat. Your great-grandfather crossed an ocean for a country he had never seen and ate 70/30 in the same year. You can ask for it at the counter.
