@NextGenAction NGAN is run by Dominique Alexander, a felon and race-baiting grifter who shook a baby to the point of brain damage. Anyone who supports Karmelo basically seems to be a criminal. It’s really not surprising. You guys should probably just sit down.

Instead of "end racism" what if they painted "end beating yo baby mama" in the NFL endzones?

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

I think we need to build this. I designed this below image, representing Lewis and Clark on the Mississippi in the style of Argonath. At $1 Billion or more, I think it can be done.

President Trump hits the nail on the head: "You come from hellhole countries, and all you do is complain and play the victim—America doesn't need people like that. If you're unhappy, get the hell back to your own country and fix it yourselves."

Hit the local Walmart. Been there done that - except I landed in Alaska wearing a tee shirt and flip flops...

Arrest Bill Gates.

OK, for those of you who are not NFL fans, please allow me to identify the folks involved here: 1. Jaxson Dart is the second year quarterback of the New York Football Giants. He is from Utah, graduated from Ole Miss, and is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Yesterday he introduced President Trump at a political rally in New York, not too far from New York City. 2. Abdul Carter is a second year edge rusher for the New York Football Giants. He is from Philadelphia and graduated from Penn State. He is a devout Muslim who prays to Allah on the field before games, and is extremely open about his faith in and out of the locker room. When Carter saw that his teammate had the temerity to accept the honor of introducing President Trump, he ripped him on X. 3. Both Carter and Dart were 1st Round draft picks last year, and both had strong rookie seasons. Giants’ ownership and management hopefully consider them to be the cornerstones of a team-wide revival to be led by new head coach John Harbaugh (a Super Bowl winner with the Baltimore Ravens and also someone who is not afraid to meet with President Trump). (That optimism exists even though Carter could not stay awake in team meetings last season.) So with that background in mind, I have this to say to Abdul Carter: Muslim terrorists destroyed a large swathe of New York City in the name of Allah, yet you are accepted on your team and in NYC, and no one challenges your beliefs or your right to express them. So how about you shut the fudge up, focus on learning how to sack the QB at the NFL level, learn how to stay awake in team meetings, and stop tearing your team apart when your teammate is given the honor of introducing the President of the United States of America? This is a free country. You are free to worship a deity that enslaves women, and Dart is free to say hello to the President. How about you just accept that, Abdul? Deal?

Coca-Cola commercial from 1976 The past is a foreign country

On January 6th I followed the crowd into the Capitol and shouted. Police stood by the whole time, hanging out with us and sometimes directing us places. At one point near the House Chambers I was walking downstairs when a trio of some special section, secret service looking men started pointing guns in my direction. Confused and annoyed, I walked the other way and when I saw a normal police officer asked him why they were doing that. He informed me a protestor (Ashli Babbit) had been killed, and advised me to leave the building. I walked towards the exit and after a short rest on the bench I left. I harmed nobody and damaged no property that day and complied with all police orders. What I received for that was a pre-dawn raid at my parents house, where my 1 month post-partum wife and I were staying, on Biden's first day in office. His DOJ had signed the order to arrest me 3 hours after his inauguration. In the subsequent weeks I received death threats online and harassing phone calls, something that would be ongoing for the next few years. I was banned from Meta and Paypal. My wife and I were both debanked by PNC and banned from Airbnb. My wife was detained at the airport for hours with our newborn daughter. I was charged with 4 misdemeanors and the 1512 unconstitutional felony. The government offered to drop the misdemeanors if I pled to the felony. The felony was a lie, so I refused and went to trial. At trial the prosecution for 2 days straight was allowed to show footage to the jury of things that occurred around the Capitol I wasn't present for "for context." When we asked to put forward footage that contradicted the prosecution's "context" we were not allowed. They could show what they wanted, we could not. Police officers were then put on the stand for the next 2 days who cried about their experiences. I had no idea who they were. They admitted they never saw me or interacted with me. Nevertheless like every other J6er, I lost, and was sentenced to 4 years and $22k in fines and restitution. Yet even after the Supreme Court overturned the felony, the judge would not let me out until my misdemeanor sentences of a year were maxed out. Because she can't count she actually kept me in longer - to the extent she intervened at the last minute to make the prison release me on a Sunday, something that is against BOP rules. My family sat outside the prison gates the Friday before practically the whole day waiting in vain because of this pettiness. But the government wasn't satisfied with their pound of flesh: after my release they took me back in for resentencing, to attempt to have me resentenced after the fact to my misdemeanors consecutively, so I'd be taken from my family again and have another 1.5 years behind bars. This time I won, as they had no legal precedent and it skirted on violating double jeopardy since I had served my full prison time. Even still, it cast a cloud over the holidays and cost me another 20k my family couldn't afford. People ask whether prison was bad, and yeah of course prison sucked. It was a hard and violent place. I was present for a stabbing, and was lucky to avoid two fights and a race war. But dealing with Biden's DOJ and the DC Judiciary was the real trauma - they would grind down your spirit by weaponizing the legal system and use the endless procedure to bankrupt you. I had nightmares for months after release that I had somehow been hit with new charges. By the time I was pardoned by President Trump, I had spent literally every single day of Biden's presidency either in prison or under some form of supervision. I had incurred over $300k in legal fees and over $1 million in lost business. It was a reign of terror, and yet it was a mere foreshadowing of what they had planned for anyone else who opposed them under Kamala. The country should never forget it.

I just can’t. I just can’t accept that my government takes my money to bring these people here and then takes more of my money to buy all their shit and then takes more of my money to bankroll all of their flagrant Medicaid scams. It’s entirely unacceptable.

Who’s going to step in and stop this!!!

@Tim_Walz His "war" is cheaper than your fraud.

@ScottPresler No, I'm voting for Paxton

If President Trump — who is the leader of the Republican Party & an immensely powerful voice — endorsed anyone other than Ken Paxton for the Texas Senate runoff, would you still vote for Ken Paxton? (I want people to see publicly what you have to say.) 🗓️ Tuesday, May 26th
