Played 9 holes tonight. As I was a single with no status on the course, I spent time fixing ball marks on each green since there were groups ahead.

I fixed 50 ball marks in 9 holes.

Reminder to most amateur golfers. Your ball released 30 feet. Go to the front third of the green and fix your ball mark!

As a critical care nurse, looking at Senator Mitch McConnell’s situation through an ICU lens tells a very different story from the public updates.

Following the release of emergency audio detailing an unconscious person and active CPR for cardiac arrest at his residence on June 14, his staff issued a statement claiming he continues to improve and is working closely with his office. 🙄

However, anyone with extensive bedside experience knows that for an 84-year-old frail patient who has sustained an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest requiring full resuscitation, the idea that he is actively participating in daily Senate business is highly unlikely.

The brutal physical trauma of chest compressions combined with the high risk of acute neurological insult makes a return to a high-functioning baseline virtually impossible for someone with his preexisting vulnerabilities.

From my clinical perspective, the statistical chances of a full recovery are slim to none, serving as a stark reminder that political status cannot override physiological limits.

Who agrees that his constituents and the rest of America deserves the truth? 🤔

Elon Musk just asked the question every wealthy member of Congress hopes nobody ever asks out loud.

$200,000 salary. $20 million net worth. Nobody has ever had to account for that gap.

Musk: “How’d they get $20 million if they’re earning $200,000 a year? Nobody can explain that.”

Not one committee. Not one hearing. Not once.

Here’s why. The people vote. The bureaucracy decides.

Musk: “We really have here rule of the bureaucracy as opposed to rule of the people.”

And bureaucracy protects itself. The money leaves the Treasury and lands in a nonprofit built the year before.

Musk: “If you have a government-funded nongovernmental organization, you’re simply a government-funded organization.”

Then it crosses a border. It moves through NGOs, other countries, other currencies.

Musk: “NGOs are a way to do things that would be illegal if they were the government, but are somehow made legal if it’s sent to a so-called nonprofit.”

A human tracing that chain gives up around the hundredth transfer.

A machine doesn’t stop at one hundred. Or one hundred thousand.

The Pentagon has failed every financial audit since 2018. Eight years straight. The budget went up anyway. Bureaucracy doesn’t get punished. It gets funded again.

Musk: “Normally, the bureaucracy eats revolutions for breakfast. This is the first time the revolution might actually succeed.”

Not because Washington got honest.

Because something showed up that doesn’t get tired, doesn’t get paid off, and doesn’t stop counting.

Complexity was never a hiding place. It just hadn’t been read yet.

Raise your hand if you think Senators should FIRE Senate Majority Leader John Thune

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

We make it far too easy for senators in the minority to use the filibuster to kill bills supported by the majority.

The whole idea behind the filibuster has, from the beginning, been to protect and prolong debate—not to cut off debate, forcing the Senate to abandon any bill that doesn’t immediately receive the support of at least 60 senators.

Filibustering is supposed to require far more than opposing cloture.

Especially for bills of exceptional national importance—like the SAVE America Act—senators should be required to hold the floor and speak.

The minute filibustering senators stop doing that, the legislation can and should be passed at a simple-majority threshold.

This is not a radical idea.

This describes what the filibuster is, how it has historically operated, and how it should work today.

Share this message if you agree that the Senate—and the country as a whole—would be well served by a return to this approach.

[Jonathan Turley @Real_Turley]

Thune is again using pro-forma sessions to make pretend the Senate is still in session, to block Trumps recess appts

Join me in calling on Trump to use the power vested in him, under (Art- II- Sec,3) to call the Senate back into session... until they Pass the Save America Act

[Blue Lives Matter @bluelivesmtr]

Absolutely LOVE this. REP. Harriet Hageman is spitting fire and dropping facts:

“Cisgender is a MADE-UP word. It means NOTHING. Do NOT call me cisgender. I am a woman.”

“All you need to determine s*x is a cheek swab. XX or XY. Boy or girl. IT’S THAT SIMPLE.”

This woman's message needs to go EVERYWHERE!

Did they cover Tulsi’s declassification on Fauci and Covid?

Legacy Media…

AP: No
CNN: No
MSNBC: No
ABC News: No
CBS News: No
NBC News: No
USA Today: No
New York Times: No
Washington Post: No

Lies by omission. Like it never happened.

Legacy Media is the Enemy of the People.

[Benny Johnson @bennyjohnson]

It is now clear that Dr. Fauci is the single greatest mass murderer in modern human history.

On her last day in office, DNI Tulsi Gabbard dropped an absolute BOMBSHELL, leaving the American people with one final gift: the Dr. Fauci Files

Gabbard just exposed Fauci for providing MILLIONS in U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, how he worked with the deep state to cover up the lab-leak origins, and how he subsequently LIED to Congress in 2024.

Translation:

- Fauci funded the research that created COVID-19
- Fauci covered up the origins of the virus
- Fauci lied to Congress and the American people

Thank you Tulsi Gabbard for your service to the American people and bringing transparency back to the Intelligence Apparatus.

Now, it’s time for heads to roll for these egregious crimes. Send Fauci to The Hague for crimes against humanity.

@ProDuffer72 @rr74cm Wyndham Clark missed 4 straight cuts in majors. Therefore, you are trying to equate missed cuts to signify loss of game. Bryson will win majors again and you will look like a fool.

Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.

Henry was far from the first to so needlessly lose his life, and I fear he won’t be the last. Each time a life like his is lost, the proper response—the only response—is righteous anger. One of the most important things the Trump administration has proven to the world is that stopping the flow of mass migration and defending national sovereignty is a matter of political will and leadership. Anything else is an excuse.

It is because we love the West that we want to preserve it. We love our civilization. We love our country. We love our children. And nobody—nobody—should ever die the way that Henry Nowak died. May God comfort those who loved him, and may God rest his soul.

@NUCLRGOLF And, how about the courses contributing with long rough, not enough rakes, out of bounds stakes instead of red stakes, and requiring two riders per cart!?
