Communication PhD, long-distance runner, cool for a geezer.

I love my country because it offers freedom and opportunity, not control and forced outcomes.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@SaveStandard And they did extend it--by five weeks. Ever since, we've been stuck with Daylight Saving time for nearly eight months a year.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@TheFive Ms. Perino: As a communication professor I recently found one of your speeches featured in a textbook--from your student days at Southern Colorado. Did you enjoy your time in speech and debate, and did you compete at nationals?

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@jgault13 "St. Louis to Los Angeles"? Isn't that a bit excessive for a marathon, Jon? I feel sorry for these guys 😉

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@SaveStandard People have different chronotypes. Larks have no problem getting up extra early. Doves (average chronotype) and especially night owls need the morning light of Standard Time to sync their circadian rhythms. Without it, we get more heart disease, cancer, and highway deaths.

@markschlereth How about sharing just one laugh you shared with #63.

@JustineBateman @LACountyRRCC Elections have regressed to 1796 and Adam's vs. Jefferson. Will presidents have to be inaugurated in March again?

@_charihawkins Gravity-defying Hawkins. Amazing stride length. I wish I could do that.

@hwinkler4real Just one full season, yet "The Honeymooners" is legendary.

@TheFive @greggutfeld Please don't say Greg Gutfeld "DESTROYS Kathy Griffin..." Militaristic language is a substitute for reasoned discourse. Can't we all strive for a more mature argument culture?

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@JustineBateman It's too bad you had to coin the phrase "human filmmaking." But you did so you did.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@markschlereth "Haul?" Surely they had U-Haul in Alaska, Stink. If autocorrect betrayed you, though, I feel your pain. Go Broncos.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@ItsAndyMac_ @SaveStandard @livenowfox The president is correct that we should end clock change, but do it the right way. Just amend the bill for permanent Standard Time instead of DST. Ending clock manipulation will maximimize health and safety year-round.

[Andy Mac @ItsAndyMac_]

Trump supports permanently ending clock changes but sleep scientists believe he should do it in the 'exact opposite' way.

VP of @SaveStandard and neurology professor Dr. Karin Johnson explains on @livenowfox .

Daylight savings increased medical errors, causes excess deaths, makes kids do worse in school, and wastes billions of dollars in excess heating costs.

We need permanent standard time not DST!

I explain why here: https://t.co/5CUPqALncG

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@SaveStandard Yes, early sunlight helps night owls adjust to the morning. The sun acts as a "zeitgeber," which is key to the physiological process of circadian entrainment. It helps all of us avoid the harmful effects of social jet lag. This is the well-grounded science of chronobiology.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@JustineBateman I already asked you to consider elective office, JTB. Thanks for at least musing about it.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@mr_jay_pea @SaveStandard @RepLangworthy @RepJohnJoyce @RepSmucker Please, Crunchy Moms: Unite behind permanent Standard Time. Solar time is organic, backed by research, and superior to artificial Daylight Saving Time for health and safety. No more clock manipulation in the USA.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@Broncos Of course the Broncos should open at home with their classic 1967-1996 uniforms. The 1975 vintage was the best.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@mr_jay_pea @SaveStandard @RepBarragan DST robs Peter to pay Paul: Taking an hour of needed morning light and shifting it to evening, when darkness would prepare us for healthy sleep. Congress can end the sad history of clock manipulation. Amend the bill for permanent Standard Time.

[Jeff Gentry @Gentracles]

@SaveStandard @RepBarragan Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle should join Rep. Nanette Barragán in opposing permanent DST. Stop the ill-advised clock manipulation. Amend the bill and vote yes to year- round Standard Time for health and safety.
