This is wrong. They will never stop at two pennies.

@BrianEastwoodx It’s harmless

This Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring was distributed by Kix cereal in the late 40's, for 15 cents and a mail-in box top. It was actually a spinthariscope containing radioactive Polonium-210 (one of the most toxic substances out there). A child would take the toy into a pitch-black room, remove the tail cap from the 'bomb', and look through a tiny lens to see flashes of light from the Polonium-210 atoms decaying into Lead-206.

@PrisonPolicy @jeffcharlesjr We have violent armed criminals.

U.S. police kill civilians at a rate nearly incomparable to other wealthy democracies. It's not just "a few bad apples."

@unusual_whales No.

"The world is watching America lose its moral compass and its global credibility," per the Hill. Do you agree?

@RochesterGal57 @ConceptualJames Depends what you call a bad experience. My experience is that many TSA are quite rude.

@ConceptualJames Ive never had a bad experience with TSA in any airport; if you act civilized and use your Sunday manners, life is always good anywhere with everyone

As it turns out, ICE agents are vastly more pleasant to deal with than TSA usually is. Maybe it's because it's a new, temporary thing for them, maybe it's because the job is gentle and safe, and maybe it's because they're fit, capable, and confident, but the experience was 10/10.

@ConceptualJames TSA are frequently distinctly unpleasant. I suppose it’s from dealing with the public all day. Nonetheless, they were rude to my mom who wasn’t doing anything but trying to follow their instructions.

WOW! Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) just called for NO RECESS! “We’re not leaving if [DHS funding] doesn’t get done.” Can everyone please take a moment to thank @SenKatieBritt? 👏

@RickyDoggin Notice these guys never wear boots.

I mean seriously, what could go wrong?

@OneBadDude_ She’s a Russian tourist in Argentina. Fights like a bobcat.

When you refuse to be the victim 💪

@AmericaPapaBear I don’t call that a slam. He rolled her aggressively to the ground and didn’t hurt her in the slightest. She then tried to bite him.

🚨MUST SEE: Woman resists arrest and gets slammed to the ground by police officer. It doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman, it’s never a good idea to disobey lawful orders.

@TommyTurner925 @AmericaPapaBear I believe you would have. Bad idea though. Cop obviously did not hurt her.

@AmericaPapaBear I would have ran up and kicked that cop so hard in the face

@Richard_Harambe LOL!

Me taking my cat to the vet

How the west came to accept lies as truth.

@itsrosesm Absolutely.

Do you actually think ending Iran's regime is worth the higher gas prices?

@dudlymohair @Loyal_Wingman_ @pati_marins64 America is one of the least racist countries in the world. Our black citizens occupy every level of government and all occupations. Our Jewish citizens excel at practically everything.

@turningabout @Loyal_Wingman_ @pati_marins64 I may be a boomer, but I do not think or act like a geriatric, racist Boomer. Christians who worship should take note: The KKK was famous for quoting Bible verses to support their racist rain of terror against Blacks, Jews or anyone who didn’t agree w/ them Nooses too

Iranian Technology Goes Far Beyond Missiles Iran has established itself as a major power in missiles, but this is only the tip of the iceberg. The country also competes with global powers in several other technological markets. Although it still faces historical bottlenecks in investment in basic sectors, resulting in critical deficits in electricity generation and potable water supply, the situation is changing. Iran has woken up to these vulnerabilities and is now directing billions of dollars toward restructuring its essential infrastructure. However, it still needs to prove that domestic infrastructure is a higher priority than funding militias in foreign territories. The most impressive phenomenon, however, is occurring in the field of knowledge. Just a few years ago, anyone who predicted that Iran would surpass powers such as Germany, Japan, and India in frontier areas like nanotechnology would have been laughed at. Today, the data confirms that this is the new geopolitical reality of science. When we examine indicators such as SCImago Journal & Country Rank, StatNano, Web of Science, Nature Index, and the ASPI Critical Technology Tracker, Iran ranks among the world’s top ten scientific powers in several fields.

Hollywood actress and director Elizabeth Banks is speaking out against the Save Act. She is prattling on about how difficult it would be to vote if it passes, even though she has a birth certificate, driver's license, and passport. It’s kind of funny because, in a way, she is really making the case for it. 😂😂 Check it out.👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

@LightOnLiberty What?!!! Has she forgotten about the Haitians?

Boston Mayor Wu says Boston was built by the Somali people! 😂

We are not prepared and we saw how the public failed that test in Minnesota. The communists ran an op and got two of their people killed and the White House got intimidated and retired Bovino. We’re doing good. It’s not near enough cause the public can’t stomach it.

@jonfavs @ChristianMalaza Do you honestly believe the US military targeted an elementary school on purpose?

You blew up an elementary school

I don’t think people understand how real this job is. Yesterday, a panicked citizen told me a young man was walking around with a gun in his waistband. As he was telling me this, he pointed and yelled, “He’s right there!” The person was walking up the street towards me with his hand on a gun in his waistband, just like the man said. With all the people around, I couldn’t wait. I had to stop him before he got to a corner with a large crowd. I exited my vehicle and confronted him. He reached for the gun again, and I was about to do something I pray I never have to do. He knew me and immediately dropped to the ground. When backup arrived, we cuffed him and removed a toy gun with an orange tip. I scolded the young man. I remembered trying to help this young man get shelter and buying him a pair of shoes a few years ago. I could have shot this man, who looked like one of my sons, over a toy. I haven’t been able to sleep all night, thinking about how close I came. Would I have been justified? Absolutely. It looked like a real gun. But what would the papers say in the morning? How would the anti-cop crowd spin it? “Cop who claimed he cares for the homeless shoots unarmed homeless Black man with a toy.” Though his race was never a factor other than how he was described by the witness. No one would have known how many times I tried to help this young brother. How many would believe this biased headline and call me trigger-happy when I haven’t shot anyone in 30 years? How many friends would I lose? How woke would the narrative be among people about how I hate myself and my people, leading me to murder with impunity. Folks, the decisions we have to make in a split second aren’t easy. But they are NOT rooted in racism or brutality. It’s what we are up against in the moment. I thank God he complied. That would have been tough to live with. This would have been another case Of a broken system failing him, and me, then all cops being made the scapegoat for it.
