Merry Christmas! In the New Year, my resolution will be to do more video. Play with @grok Imagine, keep adding new skills. Not sure what the best aspect ratios are, Grok said vertical or square. Cool...

The Strait of Magellan is so deadly (even in the modern day) that ~440 Years Ago, the Spanish Empire abandoned & doomed over 200 Conquistadors, & left them to their fate at the bottom of the world. Eventually, when every single Conquistador died from exposure, being attacked by Native Patagonians, or starvation… the colony they built fell into ruins & was reclaimed by the wilderness. By the late 1700s, nobody even knew where the colony originally was & it disappeared from the maps. But, just last month, Chilean archaeologists Simon Urbina and Soledad González Díaz, in partnership with the Universidad de Magallanes (UMAG), followed the original Spanish & English journals to a location along the Strait of Magellan—and using LiDAR, they finally rediscovered the lost colony of Puerto del Hambre “Port Famine” after over 400 years. The original sources describe a silver Spanish coin being placed on top of a corner foundation block & the colony’s church… and when they excavated the site’s main structure, like something out of a movie, the 400+ year old silver Spanish coin was sitting right where the old journal said it would be. LiDAR mapping is going to revolutionize archaeology & bring about an entirely new era of exploration🛰️

If Elon owned Twitter in 2020 they would not have been able to pull off COVID. Fact.

The new algorithm is motivating evergreen content. Now is the perfect time to begin too, if you’ve been waiting. It’s springtime (the human new year), which means everything you plant now, as it grows, you’re psychologically & physiologically synchronized to grow as well. I think putting the calendar New Year in dead winter was a terrible idea. @grok how did that happen? Explain the history of legal newyear vs calendar newyear vs astronomy concerns and everything else interesting in the scope of that subject tree. If you could answer like Fred from Scooby Doo, as if he’s explaining to Shaggy, that would be groovy. Thanks!

@EricLDaugh Cancer is the natural corollary.

@CPalmerEldritch @AustinJustice Yes.

@RedLeaderRobby @AustinJustice You think they've hidden over 100 murders?

"Blue cities are radical hellscapes that can't fix crime." Counterpoint: Baltimore. Baltimore had 334 murders in 2022. Last year it had 133, the lowest since 1977. The turning point was that voters defenestrated a Soros-backed prosecutor Marilyn Mosby who averaged 333 homicides a year across eight years and declined to use mandatory minimum sentences. (She was later convicted of mortgage fraud, so there's that too.) Her replacement, Ivan Bates, ran on the Democratic ticket with a simple message: repeat violent offenders belong in prison. Maryland law already allowed five years with no parole for convicted felons caught carrying a gun, but Mosby never used it. Bates used it a lot. In just two years, his office sent more than 2K repeat violent offenders to prison, double his predecessor's TOTAL. The city paired that with a precision intervention program that identified the small number of people driving most of the violence, which led to 631 arrests (94% haven't reoffended). Police also seized 2,480 firearms last year alone, including hundreds of ghost guns, while maintaining a 64% homicide clearance rate. When shooters know they'll get caught and actually prosecuted, behavior changes. Sandtown-Winchester, once the most violent neighborhoods in the city, just went a year without a killing! Carjackings (-51%) and robberies (-24%) are also down. Baltimore didn't change demographics, or its culture, its rules, or much of anything else in those years. It simply voted in a new Democratic prosecutor, who decided the city needed to finally put violent criminals in prison.

Leftist dialogue is only worth paying attention to so you can point and laugh later. They, as a species, are uninterested in logic, rational thought, the truth, biology, or even success. They curse themselves, and deserve the curse. The key (in a democracy) is to make sure they don’t outnumber you themselves or by proxy (their weaponized immigration).

If Alex Jones lost $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was fake then I feel like there’s a few influencers who could stand to lose a few million for denying what happened in Butler.

@MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski Look at that guy’s face and hair. Hear his voice. Every accusation from his mouth is a confession.

Kyle Kulinski on Trump: “He’s a catastrophic, malignant narcissist. He has deep, deep mental illness. He’s violent, he’s bigoted, he’s extremist. He’s self-absorbed to an extent we’ve never fucking seen before. He’s corrupt beyond imagination. He exhibits all those negative characteristics and you still have 33% of the country that rides for this man?”

An American President on the importance of courage and strength in defending civilization: “Christianity is not the creed of Asia and Africa at this moment solely because the seventh-century Christians of Asia and Africa had trained themselves not to fight, whereas the Moslems were trained to fight. Christianity was saved in Europe solely because the peoples of Europe fought. If the peoples of Europe had not possessed a military equality with, and gradually a growing superiority over, the Mohammedans who invaded Europe, Europe would at this moment be Mohammedan and the Christian religion would be exterminated. Wherever the Mohammedans have had complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared. From the hammer of Charles Martel to the sword of Sobieski, Christianity owed its safety in Europe to the fact that it was able to show that it could and would fight as well as the Mohammedan aggressor. The civilization of Europe, America, and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization.” — Teddy Roosevelt

@C_3C_3 @PenneyVC She is one of the most evil leftists among evil leftists.

Debbie “Ramen” Schultz will lose her seat in Congress with Florida’s new map. Things getting ugly for the Democrats….

@FarmGirlCarrie @TexasWeimFan @elonmusk “We” used to be Americans. Now ‘we’ are foreigners. Multiculturalism has never worked, and it will never work. 🤷‍♂️

Why is this not on everyone’s mind daily? @elonmusk: “It's pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started the Revolution, and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and there's no revolution…"

Congratulations, feminists! You’ve succeeded in making women’s lives miserable. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Neverrrrrrrrr everrrrrrrr underestimate how much God is protecting you from things you don’t even know about.

Today's Supreme Court decision is a direct assault on the promise of the Voting Rights Act. It risks disenfranchising millions of Americans along racial lines and weakening the very foundation of our democracy. Democracy is not self-sustaining. We must build, preserve, and defend it together. Here in New York City, we will always lead a government of, by, and for the people — all of the people.

BREAKING: Settlement of a Judicial Watch lawsuit has forced the review and removal of some 800,000 ineligible voters from Oregon voter rolls

As a boy, I was at a boarding school very close to Parliament. I took the opportunity to go and watch the debates in both houses from the visitors' gallery; at that time it was not widely known that one could do this, so it was easy and quick to get in. I saw all the famous politicians of the 1970s. But what was self-evident, even to a teenager, was that whereas the elected members of parliament were out to score points in their speeches, before voting according to pre-set ideas, the hereditary Lords were genuinely issued in persuasion and had open minds. This was because, being hereditary, they were beholden to no-one and no party; ironically, they were much more representative of ordinary people with common sense than their political colleagues in the lower house.
