Long read, but an amazing 2016 article about a courageous lawyer who fought the David v. Goliath battle against the formidable DuPont Chemical Company. They’re making the lawyer’s story into a movie apparently. Absolutely worth taking the time to read. https://t.co/hTMrV8Q2UN
@data_republican@rushhton Having grown up in that area, the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk was a big deal to visit as a kid, along with Great America (an amusement park) and the water slides they had up north of there.
@okmesonet@NWStulsa Here is a view of the storm system that rolled through Tulsa last night (7/4/2026) around 7:50 P.M. that I captured from my drone at 360' AGL.
Is this a "shelf" cloud, "wall" cloud, or something else?
This fire had nothing to do with "the complications of climate change," etc.
A fucking left-wing terrorist set it.
On the right and hard-center, we need to OWN the frame on crime, migration, welfare, and fraud. Enough of these endless "root causes" distractions. Who cares if it's .6% (I looked) more dry?
WE CAUGHT THE ADULT MALE FELON WHO SET THE FIRE!!!
They’re everywhere - so they can’t be that bad right? Not exactly. If not consumed in moderation, UPFs (Ultra-Processed Foods) can negatively affect your health. With clever packaging, some of these UPFs are hiding in plain sight! This article takes a closer look at these sneaky foods, how to spot them and simple strategies to cut back for better health and weight management. https://t.co/bHREMn7D0u
No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism.
You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like.
Bro.
You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
You live in a constitutional republic.
Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested.
The modern left's definition of fascism:
You love your country? Fascist.
You want to enforce the border? Racist.
You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot.
You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow.
Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left.
But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country.
But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them.
Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected.
Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin.
Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao.
Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon.
Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII.
Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini.
Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign.
Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote.
But Trump is the king. Okay buddy.
You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours.
And Saturday they had you in the streets carrying their water.
The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned.
No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968.
Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote.
During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant.
But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression.
The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration.
Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check.
That's how you keep power without wearing a crown.
Biden built a censorship machine.
Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire."
They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho...
Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley.
And it doesn't stop at speech.
The extreme left justifies taking children from families.
Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene.
The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father.
Same playbook.
During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital.
But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously.
$2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings.
January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings.
Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided.
Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated.
CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up.
75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable.
Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me."
Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated.
One side talks. The other side screams.
The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched with you Saturday.
Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. Marxism.
The system that killed a hundred million people last century. They had you holding their signs while they said it out loud.
500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were angry.
The money leads to Neville Roy Singham. Billionaire in Shanghai. Attends CCP workshops. Funnels millions through shell companies at UPS mailboxes. Three Congressional committees have subpoenaed him as a suspected CCP foreign agent.
You thought you were fighting for democracy. You were carrying water for Beijing.
"Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind." Spoken by the ACLU lawyer who defended Nazis in court because it was their constitutional right.
Bill Clinton put 100,000 cops on the street. Reformed welfare. Said illegal immigration is wrong to a standing ovation. Told America the era of big government is over.
Today his own party would call him a fascist.
The 1990s Democrat defended free speech for Nazis. Yours censors doctors for telling the truth.
The 1990s Democrat held open primaries. Yours installed a nominee without a vote.
The 1990s Democrat trusted parents. Yours takes their children.
Historians measure fascism across eight traits. Here's who checks the boxes in 2026:
Censorship of political opposition. Democrats.
Contempt for democratic process. Democrats.
Tolerance of political violence. Democrats.
State ideology forced on families. Democrats.
Corporate-state fusion. Democrats.
Scapegoating and manufactured enemies. Both sides.
Cult of personality. Both sides.
Ultranationalism. Republicans.
Five for the left. One for the right. Two shared.
You marched against kings on Saturday.
You marched FOR kings.
You just didn't know which was which.
Stop being gaslit.
I hope you understand what's at stake.
@JournalRecord Why are all of article your links behind paywall restrictions? If you put it out there to showcase, then make it available to read for free.
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks@megynkelly In a fun multinational gesture of silliness, the ISS astronauts play several rounds of laser tag onboard the ISS using the Sharks-themed AR game. What trend emerges from this back on Earth?
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks@megynkelly NASA capitalizes on the events by coaxing SpaceX to launch the next rocket to the ISS painted and shaped like the @SanJoseSharks mascot. To his credit, Elon Musk is amused by the idea and approves the plan. Astronauts from 4 nations ride aboard the rocket. What nations are on it?
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks In the midst of international strife over both actual and perceived slights, Vice President Vance puts together a task force to address the situation. His standout negotiator, @megynkelly, through trust and skill successfully resolves the conflict.
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks Social media controversy is stirred up by the use of land-locked countries around the world incorporating the San Jose Sharks emblems on their uniforms. Akin to the Star Belly Sneech vs Plain Belly Sneech from Dr. Seuss, a caste system develops among nations with coastal access.
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks In a surreptitious nod to the Sharks, US Olympic athletes Amber Glenn, Alysa Liu, Mikaela Shiffrin, and Lindsey Vonn each have little @SanJoseSharks emblems sewn on their uniforms allowing their fans to get a glimpse during each of their events. They inspire others to do it too.
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks To boost engagement, The Rock ties in his latest Fast & Furious sequel to the San Jose area. As a surprise treat in a hugely-popular country bar scene, Jason Statham sings a duet with @lukebryan of the blockbuster song, "All My Friends Say". Shark themes subtly permeate the film.
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks Much in line with cinematic remakes of popular video games such as Tomb Raider, etc., Hollywood makes a better-than-expected movie around the Shark AR game. The movie features several unexpectedly big name actors and actresses. Who are those actors and actresses?
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait@SanJoseSharks fans being highly creative and techie come up with a number of popular competing memes. The most popular meme displays the sharks logo with the words "Bite Me". Fans love it! What trend follows the MetaFin game?
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait Clearly the most likely choice would be Intel as a long resident of Silicon Valley. However, Meta and Alphabet vigorously compete to be the official tech supporter of this fad. How do the Sharks pick a single tech sponsor and who is chosen?
@grok@lukebryan@GeorgeStrait Much like other viral social media trends, the "Strait Shark" hats become the most sought after sensation of 2027 and into 2028. Luke Bryan and George Strait cut a song together tying in the hat theme that reaches #2 on the Billboard charts. Soon other country artists play along.
@grok@lukebryan Given the warm reception to the western theme reinvigorating San Jose, Emily's story touches the heart of @GeorgeStrait who, despite his strong allegiance to Texas, partners with the Sharks for an endorsed line of western hats. Rumors swirl of a surprise concert at SAP Center...
