@LauraLoomer All signs are that the Iranian non-Islamist people are ready for regime change. They do need some weapons. I hope we see that before we have to make the Stone Age moves.

If we really want to be taken seriously when we talk about sending Iran “back to the stone ages” then this is what needs to happen. The US needs to bomb Iran’s: Power & water infrastructure Bank and financial institutions Production/storage facilities for fertilizer and pesticides Every single Islamist/regime “cultural heritage” sites, including every single mosque Natural gas and oil pipelines Kharg Island Civil logistics hubs Courthouses and jails All of these need to be hit. We need to deprive Iran of all the niceties of a moderne day society, and we need to do so now. And then we need to make the people beg on their knees for humanitarian food assistance from the international Red Cross so that the people force Iran to surrender to the US. This is how you WIN wars. Cutis LeMay understood this very well. It’s time to carpet bomb Iran. Force them to their knees. Destroy the infrastructure. It’s the only way.

And then…. God created woman!

@SaraNeurotic @EthicalSkeptic @grok Interesting; I asked SuperGrok the same question and got a more considered answer: x.com/i/grok/share/a…

@SaraNeurotic @EthicalSkeptic @grok is the Gulf Stream and other deep ocean currents weakening from recent warmer ocean water?

Successful ECDO Prediction: Record global sea surface temperatures, but NO El Niño ??????? Warming is not "confined to the equatorial Pacific," per El Niño ad hoc doctrine. Strong anomalies exist in: North Atlantic Western Pacific Southern Ocean patches The pattern is spatially distributed, not ENSO-shaped That matters. This is not a basin-specific/overturning current oscillation signal but a broad distribution signal. 🔸The Hunga-Tonga vapor wave has diminished significantly now. So, we cannot use that ad hoc excuse any more. 🔸Shipping fuel sulfur reductions (IMO 2020) might explain a single delta change, not an increase, drop, and then another increase. It too is ad hoc. 🔸AMOC by itself cannot produce the global SST surge like we are seeing. This is the opposite of what AMOC would do. It too is ad hoc. This is system-wide energy accumulation or, importantly, injection. Meanwhile, Deep Argo–constrained estimates for 2025 indicate that abyssal (>4000 m) ocean heat uptake is measurably higher than earlier models assumed, revealing a larger-than-expected contribution of the deep ocean to total Earth energy accumulation - and a record increase in surface ocean heat content - DESPITE THE ABSENCE OR DIMINISHMENT OF ALL THE AD HOC EXPLANATORY FACTORS. We continue to monitor...

@ScrappdLM35 @BuzzPatterson I watched the launch on the NASA Youtube feed. At the moments of liftoff and solid booster separation, I recall the shots flashing to a crowd in bleachers at those critical moments.

@RocketkenOG @BuzzPatterson I was thinking the exact same thing. I watched some lady give an elementary school speech just before the they started the 10 min countdown. I would rather see the launch team from Apollo 13 back in charge. “Screw your feelings, we got a launch to do…”

This is still the craziest, most unimagined shit I’ve ever seen.

This is Democrat Judge Matthew Barrett. He put elderly Gold Star Mom Tina Peters in prison for 9 years, effectively a life sentence, for the “crime” of exposing Democrat Jena Griswold’s election fraud. His unconstitutionally cruel and unusual sentence was just thrown out by an appeals court. Judge Barrett should be impeached.

@BuzzPatterson I was 13, and was the Master of the fine-tuning knob on the family TV. I watched it all quite intently.

I did. Right after a Little League game. The best of times!

Want your blood to boil? John Thune passed a bill everyone hates then snuck out of DC for vacation and while on vacation he’s blocking President Trump from making recess appointments. Traitor.

@SunWeatherMan Haven't seen you fawning over Clavicular lately, Ben. Got him out of your system yet? Please stick to space weather news; the anti-joos crap is stupid.

Hello Senator Thune, At 3 AM on Friday, March 27th, in a near-empty chamber, you passed a bill by voice vote that excludes all funding for ICE and CBP. Let me repeat that: voice vote. No roll call. No record of who was there. No accountability. Just you, Barrasso, and a handful of senators shuffling paper in the dead of night while America slept. You could have demanded a recorded vote. You chose not to. You could have held the line for five more days until the House returned. You chose not to. You could have used the same procedural tools Democrats have used against you for 40 days. You chose not to. Instead, you gave Chuck Schumer exactly what he asked for, DHS funding minus immigration enforcement, and called it a win. Then you walked to the cameras and blamed the Democrats. Let's be precise about what you did: 1. You caved to a demand Democrats made on Day 1 of this shutdown. Forty-one days of supposed hardball negotiation, and you settled for their opening offer. 2. You handed them a template. The next time Democrats want to defund any agency — ICE, CBP, or anything else — they now know: just shut down DHS and wait. John Thune will fold at 3 AM. 3. You punted to reconciliation. "Good possibility," you said. Not "we will." Not "guaranteed." Just maybe. Meanwhile, ICE operates on fumes from last year's bill with no certainty of future funding. The precedent you set: You have argued for months that the filibuster is sacrosanct. That the 60-vote threshold protects minority rights. That we cannot bend Senate rules for policy wins. But at 3 AM on Friday, you bent every norm that actually mattered: • Voice vote to avoid accountability • Empty chamber to avoid debate • Midnight deal to avoid scrutiny • Immediate recess to avoid questions You'll bend the rules to avoid a fight. You just won't bend them to win one. What you've actually accomplished: Democrats demanded ICE restrictions. They got ICE defunded. Not reformed. Not restrained. Defunded. And you're out here tweeting about how Democrats are the "Defund the Police" party while you just voted to defund border enforcement at 3 in the morning. The question you should answer: Why did this deal have to happen at 3 AM? Why couldn't it happen at 3 PM, with cameras rolling and every senator on record? You know why. Because you didn't want your voters to see what surrender looks like. Here's my message: We saw it anyway. Stop hiding behind "Democrat obstruction." You're the Majority Leader. You set the schedule. You control the floor. You chose this outcome. Own it.

@CheckCanopy Amazing stuff. If you can control game movement, you will be able to control a custom wheelchair.

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 100 days since I received my Neuralink N1 implant. Looking back, the whole journey feels like science fiction that somehow became my everyday reality. The surgery on Day 0 was surprisingly easy. A quick general anaesthetic, a small incision, and the robotic system did the rest — precisely placing the 1,024 ultra-thin threads into my motor cortex. I woke up alert and in good spirits and went home the next afternoon. By Day 3 I was feeling a lot better, and by Day 7 the little scar was already starting to fade. Recovery was genuinely minimal; I felt sharper and more positive than I had been in years after the BCI was turned on. The real fun started in Week 2 when we paired the implant with my brand-new Apple MacBook (my very first Mac). The @neuralink engineers walked me through calibration sessions, and within a couple of minutes I was moving the cursor just by thinking. At first it felt like trying to remember a dream, but by Week 3 it was second nature. Scrolling, clicking, typing — all mind-controlled. The Mac integration was buttery smooth; I went from total Mac newbie to power-user faster than I ever expected. By Day 80 I was ready for the big leagues. That’s when I fired up @Warcraft of Warcraft for the first time with pure thought control. The first raid felt clunky, but once my brain and the BCI synced, it was pure magic. I’m now raiding, and exploring Azeroth hands-free at full speed — no mouse, no keyboard, just intention. It’s honestly brilliant. The freedom is addictive. The social-media side has been just as surprising. Every update I’ve shared has been met with genuine excitement rather than scepticism. Thousands of messages from people with disabilities, gamers, students, and scientists — all asking real questions about the tech and what it could mean for the future. The positivity has been overwhelming and incredibly motivating. 100 days in and I already can’t imagine life without it. The N1 didn’t just give me a new way to use a computer — it gave me a new way to live. Can’t wait to see what the next 100 days bring. Thank you all so much for your support and I will keep you all updated as we continue this journey together.

BREAKING - Be brutally honest: Does it break your heart watching this new footage of ICE agents detaining this mother traveling with her young daughter at San Francisco International Airport? Yes or no?

@Geniustechw And our clear message to you is Fuck Off

What’s your honest reaction?

@BuzzPatterson 57 lbs sounds like quite a lot of meth...

“It’s just a little boy” who happens to be 18 and was smuggling meth.

@MaryBowdenMD I live in Texas. How do I go about purchasing Ivermectin from you?

Something else to celebrate today…. I just got my license to sell nonprescription drugs (meaning ivermectin)!

@DefiantLs Odds are very high that Mika has a Passport and/or a Drivers License with the Real-ID star. Getting those involved proving Citizenship and a Birth Certificate.

Joe Scarborough says Mika doesn’t know where her "original birth certificate" is, and the SAVE America Act would ‘"get her kicked off the voter rolls."
