About 1.5 trillion almonds are produced in the world per year. For quick sanity checking of the math, 19 gallons per almond is close to 20 gallons. 20 times 1.5 trillion is 30 trillion. 30 trillion gallons is about 15–20 times higher than even the higher-end estimates for all almond irrigation combined.

The most successful political scam in modern history is convincing people that our future depends on separating ourselves by race.

We have race-based caucuses, race-based programs, race-based holidays, race-based activism, and race-based grievance politics.

And somehow we’re supposed to believe this makes us less divided.

The answer to racism isn’t more racial categories. It’s teaching every American that our history belongs to all of us.

Stop dividing us into tribes.

Stop treating race as the most important thing about a person.

And start celebrating what actually matters: We’re all Americans first.

@gayle10001 @TheAtlasSociety The location is inside the restricted “Bannmeile” zone around parliament, where unpermitted flags can signal unauthorized assemblies and trigger routine police checks to protect Bundestag operations. The flag remains fully legal elsewhere in Germany.

Believe it or not, 4 years ago... In the November 8, 2022, general election for Texas House District 50 (an Austin-area seat that became his after redistricting), James Talarico (D) crushed it with 76.8% of the vote (36,881 votes) against Republican Victor Johnson (20.2%) and Libertarian Ted Brown (2.9%). He had also won the Democratic primary easily with ~78.5%.

So, Austin, lol

A nation prospers when the State protects rights, not when it hands out privileges.
Freedom, merit, and property were the foundation of the most successful societies in history.

@AGuideByArchie @desilva_frank @SpaceX I wonder if Mr. DeSilva thinks sharing his opinions are of tangible benefit to people. It had the opposite effect on me. I felt it was mean spirited and uninformed.

@fame9one @niinii789789 @herqles_es Agreed!
The May 8, 2026 incident in Vendin-le-Vieil is corroborated by the Auchy-les-Mines club's statement: Matthéo was pushed, knocked down, and kicked after their 0-2 loss, received firefighter checks, but played lightly the next day.

@zanehengsperger Those that say "it cannot be done", need to get out of the way of those doing it...

@persianjewess Iranian Women refused to sing the Islamic anthem. The older national anthem of Iran focused on love for the land and it's people. The new one focuses on Islamic revolutionary ideas.

@mitchellvii 30+ people with the same mailing address is ok per Grok.

30+ with that same residence address may be problematic.

Didn't see which one from the post.

@Tomnjerry1970 @Onlyam_sUnIl08 @BasedMikeLee The criminal Whitey Bulger famously said “no body, no crime” knowing full well the bodies he was responsible for would not be found lol

Grok says practically zero. Evidence being destroyed, non existence of accurate paper trails and courts refusing to examine evidence due to "lack of standing" pretty much guarantees fraud can't be proven. Some people think if fraud can't be proven then it didn't happen. Other people would feel better if auditable paper trails were preserved so that the absence of fraud could be proven.

@jimlosch @devorydarkins When she was elected, did he quit his job and become a consultant to her?

@elonmusk You transcended money. Who could possibly understand where you're at.

[Chris Balcom @ChrisBalcom9]

@Onlyam_sUnIl08 @BasedMikeLee When election procedures in a state make it easy to commit fraud while simultaneously making it impossible to prove fraud the federal government's duty is to step in and protect the citizens from the state violating their rights to a free clean election.

(some juicy stuff copied from the post for tl;dr folks)

...The system I've described did not emerge overnight, and it will not be dismantled overnight. But if we still believe in the American experiment (if we still believe that government should derive its just powers from the consent of the governed) then we must begin.

First: Radical transparency. Every nonprofit with annual revenue above $1 million should be required to disclose every donor who gives more than $1,000, in real time. The donor-advised fund loophole (which allows unlimited anonymous giving through intermediaries) must be closed. Foreign funding of American nonprofits should be illegal without complete disclosure.

Second: End the funding-lobbying double-dip. Organizations that receive federal grants should be absolutely prohibited from lobbying the government that funds them. You can take taxpayer money or you can try to influence policy, but not both. Ever.

Third: Enforce the Foreign Agents Registration Act. FARA is toothless. Only about 5% of FARA registrants are nonprofits. The law must be expanded and aggressively enforced to ensure that American policy debates are not being shaped by foreign interests operating through domestic proxies.

Fourth: Sunset tax exemptions. Tax-exempt status should not be permanent. Every nonprofit should be required to reapply for 501(c)(3) status every ten years, with full audits and public disclosure. Organizations that have drifted from their charitable purposes into political activism should lose their subsidies.

Fifth: Close the sue-and-settle loophole. When advocacy organizations sue federal agencies and then "settle" for consent decrees that impose new regulations, they are legislating from outside the legislative process. These settlements should require Congressional approval, or they should be prohibited entirely.
