It’s imperative that we revert to STANDARD, not Daylight time, for two reasons, one of which you may have never considered. You know the first: solar noon is closest to 12 o’clock all year. That means an equal number of hours before and after noon each day. This also means earlier sunrises which are significantly better for establishing a healthy circadian rhythm. The second reason is that nearly ONE THIRD of US counties are in the wrong timezone. A significant swath of the country isn’t only an artificial hour ahead because of daylight time… but TWO HOURS ahead of true solar time. Year-round daylight time, especially without recalibrating time zones, would establish this error permanently, affecting millions of Americans. We should be letting the Sun dictate the day the way God made it. Arbitrary, artificial tampering would be worse for us all. Fix the time zones and affix standard time.

You wish I hadn’t pointed out that 95 % of my opponent’s funding came from the Israeli lobby, and millions of that came from a woman who has Israeli citizenship and served in the IDF? Sorry for your feels Ted.

Canada is and will remain free. Just ignore the crazy noises from the drunks downstairs. The U.S. is going through some things right now and we need to sort it out. In the meantime, Canada is looking outward for new trade markets and deepening ties with the EU. Bravo.

Congrats! You all knocked off an incumbent. The midterms is going to suck for you clowns.

That's called perjury folks.

It's a pathetic and transparent lie. This clown is simply parroting Trump talking points to stay relevant. He also is an isolationist who'd have trouble finding Ukraine on a map.

This thread is a perfect target list for anyone seeking to stop RUS resupply to the occupation and to bring the RUS economy to its knees.

in rare personal news: we would greatly appreciate some revenue sharing from people and orgs earning money from my tweets or any other small or large donation since a close family member is suffering from bone cancer and bills are adding up rapidly.. ko-fi.com/T6T4E1Y1

245 years ago today, a 35-year-old Spanish nobleman fired a single artillery shell that redrew the map of North America, broke British power in the Gulf of Mexico, and arguably saved the American Revolution. His name was Bernardo de Gálvez. He's not in your textbook. He should be. When Spain entered the war against Britain in June 1779, the American cause was bleeding out. Washington's army was unpaid and shrinking. The Continental dollar was worth pennies. The British had taken Savannah and were preparing to take Charleston. France was helping, but France alone couldn't bankrupt the British Empire. Spain could. And in New Orleans sat the man who would prove it. Bernardo de Gálvez y Madrid was 33 years old, the governor of Spanish Louisiana, a battle-scarred career officer who had been wounded fighting Apaches in northern Mexico and Algerians in North Africa. The day he learned Spain had declared war, he didn't wait for orders from Madrid. He raised an army of Spanish regulars, Louisiana Creoles, free Black militia from New Orleans, Acadian refugees, German settlers, and Choctaw scouts, and he went on the attack. In three months he took Manchac, Baton Rouge, and Natchez. The next year he took Mobile. The British presence on the Gulf shrank to one last fortress. Pensacola, the capital of British West Florida, defended by Major General John Campbell with 1,500 redcoats, the 3rd Waldeck Regiment of German mercenaries, loyalist battalions from Maryland and Pennsylvania, and a powerful alliance of Creek and Choctaw warriors led by the brilliant mixed-race chief Alexander McGillivray. Gálvez arrived off Pensacola in March 1781 with 7,000 men and a fleet. The Spanish naval commander, Admiral Calbo de Irazábal, refused to enter Pensacola Bay. The entrance was narrow, raked by British guns at Fort Barrancas Coloradas, and treacherous with sandbars. So Gálvez did something insane. He boarded his own little brig, the Galveztown, hoisted his personal pennant, and sailed her into the bay alone, in full view of the British batteries, daring the Royal Navy to sink him. The British fired and missed. The Spanish fleet, shamed, followed him in. For this he was awarded the right to put the words "Yo Solo," meaning "I alone," on his coat of arms by the King of Spain. The siege ground on for two months. Gálvez was shot in the abdomen and the finger directing artillery and refused to leave the field. The British defenses at the Queen's Redoubt, also called the Crescent, held against everything thrown at them. And then, on the morning of May 8, 1781, a Spanish howitzer crew lofted a shell over the parapet. It dropped, by pure luck or perfect skill, directly into the open powder magazine. The explosion killed roughly 100 defenders in a single instant. Waldeck grenadiers, British regulars, loyalists, all gone. The blast tore the redoubt's wall open like paper. Spanish grenadiers and Louisiana militia poured through the breach within minutes and turned the captured British guns on the inner works. Campbell knew it was over. The next morning, May 9, white flags went up. By May 10 the entire province of West Florida belonged to Spain. Over 1,100 British troops marched out as prisoners of war. The strategic consequences were catastrophic for Britain. The Gulf Coast was lost. The Mississippi was a Spanish river from source to sea. Britain could no longer reinforce its southern armies by sea from the Caribbean, and the Royal Navy's Caribbean squadron had to be redeployed. Five months later, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, in a siege funded in part by 500,000 silver pesos that Gálvez and the people of Havana raised in a matter of days to pay French Admiral de Grasse's fleet to come north. Without that money, no French fleet. Without the French fleet, no Yorktown. Without Yorktown, no independence on those terms. Gálvez was made Count of Gálvez and Viscount of Galveztown. The bay he charted in Texas still bears his name, Galveston. His portrait hangs in the United States Capitol by act of Congress. In 2014, he was made an honorary citizen of the United States, an honor given to only eight people in American history, including Lafayette, Churchill, and Mother Teresa. He died of yellow fever in Mexico City at 40 years old, three years after the war ended. Most Americans have never heard his name.

HOT TAKE: If businesses only have to pay taxes on profit, not revenue, then I should only have to pay taxes after I’ve paid all my bills and rent.

Meanwhile American govts look the other way as our data is sold and the consumer crap we buy goes dead in half the time

100% of the U.S. Senators who committed a multi-billion dollar Medicare fraud are named Rick Scott.

So basically she began a sexting relationship which then progressed to roadside blow jobs Then she got drunk and fucked him, got upset because he “distanced from her,” then panicked because she cheated on her boyfriend for a guy who didn’t care about her Then to make herself feel better she decided because she was really drunk it must’ve been “rape” even though he was also probably just as drunk Now at a politically opportune moment, when the press would be willing to air her story, because they want a progressive or because they’re worried about too many Dems splitting the vote and helping a Republican win, she decides go public and ruin him Got it

So about The First Hooker’s statement that she didn’t know Epstein @NancyMace

Mike Johnson says "I don't know where Joe Kent was getting his information" in his resignation over the Iran war I can help, Mike. He was the Director of Counterterrorism. He had access to all the same info you did. He just wasn't willing to lie about it.

We had a good thing, Britain. A really good thing. You taught us this game. Mahan studied you. We just wrote bigger checks. The deal was simple. We spend the trillions. Fight the hard wars. We even let you sit out Vietnam. And you? You hold the chokepoints you already own. You run Lloyd’s. Ships in the narrows, insurance on the hulls. That’s all you had to do and we would back your interests with the strongest military and financial markets in the world. That was the deal. Now look at you. You gave up Aden. Fine. You kept Diego Garcia so we could reach it with bombers. Now you’re giving that away too. To a Chinese client state. You built Israel to guard Suez. Now your Foreign Secretary threatens to arrest their PM. You built a base nearby to back it up. Iran hit your base in Cyprus. You didn’t have one warship in the Mediterranean. Spain got there first. Spain. You gave up Hong Kong but backed Taiwan. Now you’re letting China build the largest embassy in Europe on top of London’s fiber-optic cables. We gave you Five Eyes. You gave Beijing a SIGINT platform in the heart of the City. Gibraltar. Three hundred years. Actual sieges. Now the Spanish run your border checks. You lost South Africa but kept the Falklands so we can overfly the Magellan Strait. Argentina could probably take that with rowboats today. Your king kept ownership of the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand navies to fill the gaps. Those navies are now a laughing stock. Your warships and bombers patrolled the GIUK gap. Now you don’t have enough but you also don’t want us buying Greenland. Fine. You do it. With what? We gave London the @IMOHQ to regulate shipping, you backed the EU agenda to carbon tax every ship to build woke UN slush fund. Iran closed Hormuz. In the ‘80s, 540 ships got hit. Lloyd’s never blinked. Because your navy was there. Now Lloyd’s cancels. Because it isn’t. You scrapped your only amphibious ships. Sold them. To Brazil. You have more admirals than warships. You built two light carriers but they keep springing leaks and you don’t have enough escort ships to support them. The English Channel. Stopped Napoleon. Stopped Hitler. Now you can’t stop rubber dinghies. You had one job. Have the warships, diplomatic backbone and insurance to support shipping through the straits. That’s it. That’s all we asked. And you blew it. Chokepoint by chokepoint. Called it progress.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Now hundreds of ships are stuck in the Persian Gulf and the world is blaming us. But that’s ok. All those solar panels you bought from China will keep you warm in that dreary weather I guess.

Firing Kristi Noem and replacing her with Markwayne Mullins is like shitting your pants and running home to change your shirt.

Day 1466 of my 3 day war. It's going so well that all I can send Iran are thoughts & prayers and even the Belgium military are not afraid to board my ships. I didn't even know they had one! I remain a master strategist.

The argument structure is always the same. Leaded petrol: we need it for engine performance. Removing it would increase costs and damage the car industry. We removed it. Engines still work. Blood lead levels dropped. Childhood IQ scores rose. DDT: we need it for crop protection. Removing it would devastate agriculture. We removed it. Agriculture continued. Bald eagle populations recovered. Breast milk became cleaner. Asbestos: we need it for fire resistance and insulation. Removing it would compromise building safety. We removed it. Buildings remain standing. Mesothelioma rates began to decline. CFCs: we need them for refrigeration. Alternatives don't work as well. We removed them. Refrigeration continues. The ozone layer is recovering. Glyphosate: we need it to feed the world. Removing it would cause famine. The script is identical. The industry interest is identical. The outcome, each time we've removed the "essential" chemical, has also been identical. We managed. We always manage. The chemical was never as essential as the company selling it said.
