They FINALLY released a video proving Mitch McConnell is actually alive

And all you conspiracy nuts doubted it!!🙄

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

1/ I asked for the truth about how COVID-19 origins research crossed U.S. borders. Here's what I found: undeclared coronavirus materials moving between American and Chinese labs as far back as 2018 — years before anyone had heard of COVID-19. 🧵

Too bad the Kalifornia Machine will steal the Gubernatorial election from Steve Hilton the same way they stole the LA mayoral primary

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

2026: "It's only for stolen cars."

2028: "Failure to comply with lockdowns detected."

See how easy that is?

[Roger Seheult, MD @RogerSeheult]

The undeniable fact is we've run the experiment of permanent daylight savings time already in the US. See the map below: Within the same time zone (yellow), on March 30 Boston has a sunrise time of 6:30 AM and Lansing a sunrise of 7:24 AM. Western portions of the same time zone ALWAYS have later sunrises compared to their eastern counterparts. This is exactly what permanent DST will do to every city's sunrise in the winter.
What is the effect of this:
1) shorter life expectancy
2) high cancer rates
3) 19 minutes less sleep
4) higher obesity
5) higher diabetes
6) higher cardiovascular disease
7) higher rates of psychiatric diseases

The Senate shouldn’t recess until it has passed the SAVE America Act

[Sean Paige @SeanPaige]

The @denverpost just spent 1,200 words trying to solve an alleged mystery I can solve in just 3 words.

The question? How did Colorado lose its competitive edge? Why is the state in such steep decline?

The Post wastes 1,200 words diplomatically dancing around one elephant in the room -- an elephant named Jared Polis https://t.co/kroXE2LZ46
But I can solve the mystery of Colorado's business climate decline in just three words: One. Party. Rule.

The piece wrings its hands over job losses, plunging business rankings, and fleeing startups, while performing Olympic-level gymnastics to avoid naming the obvious culprit: one-party Democratic rule, complete with a billionaire “business wiz” governor who’s been at the helm for eight long years.

Instead of confronting reality, the Post treats us to the usual ritual: quotes from concerned business leaders, vague nods to “headwinds,” and glowing coverage of Gov. Jared Polis bravely announcing . . . another task force and listening tour (as if we don't know what's really gone wrong in Colorado).

Because nothing says “decisive leadership” like waiting until the final months of your term -- after the state shed 6,200 payroll jobs in just 18 months, ranked 12th-worst nationally in total job losses and 14th-worst in percentage terms, and watched its startup ecosystem suffer the largest numeric decline in the country -- to finally ask businesses what’s wrong.

The numbers paint a brutal picture: Colorado has tumbled to 25th in CNBC’s “America’s Top States for Business” (from perennial top-10 darling, including #1 in 2011), dragged down by a pathetic 49th in cost of living, 38th in cost of doing business, and 32nd in infrastructure. The ALEC “Rich States, Poor States” index has it at a dismal 29th, a sharp fall from recent years and a far cry from its second-place ranking in 2008. Companies are bolting for greener pastures, talent recruitment has become a nightmare amid sky-high housing costs, and even the departure of big names like Palantir barely scratches the surface of the quiet erosion in entrepreneurial energy.

Yet the Post frames this as some mysterious fog that rolled in, rather than the predictable result of years of accumulating mandates, regulatory piling-on, and a political culture that vilifies the private sector, decries the profit motive, and treats business as an ATM for funding pet "progressive" priorities.

The Post does note, almost in passing, that Colorado has shifted from purple to solidly blue since 2011. But heaven forbid they connect the dots. Polis, the polished entrepreneur-turned-governor, gets portrayed as the thoughtful reformer riding to the rescue, not the architect of (or willing participant in) the very policy environment -- workplace mandates, housing strangulation, infrastructure neglect, a business-bashing legislature -- that made the state less competitive. Eight years of solid Democratic majorities in the legislature, a steady barrage of "progressive" meddling, and a general attitude that innovative companies should just be grateful to locate in this beautiful people’s republic -- and the Post acts shocked, shocked, that the state is now hanging out “under the bleachers” with the also-rans.

The elephant isn’t just in the room -- it’s been trampling the state’s business climate for nearly a decade, passing bills, ballooning budgets, and appointing rogue regulators to runaway commissions, while the media politely averts its gaze. Colorado didn’t suddenly become expensive, regulated, and complacent by accident. It chose this path, repeatedly, at the ballot box and in the State House. The Post’s greatest contribution here is providing cover: acknowledge the decline just enough to seem serious, then pivot to process theater and hope readers forget who’s been in charge.

@mr_jay_pea What YOU can do in 3 minutes: Call 202-224-2131 three times: leave messages for each of your two US Senators AND Senate Majority Leader John Thune, ask them NOT to vote for the so-called Sunshine Protection Act, but sponsor the Sunshine For Our Kids Act instead.

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@mr_jay_pea Permanent Daylight Saving Time, that was tried in 1974 and quickly repealed after many tragic accidents… now being recycled and rebranded as “Sunshine Protection.” Please don’t fall for it!

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@mr_jay_pea Imagine your kids walking to school at 7am during the coldest part of the day on the coldest days of the year, knowing that commuter drivers on the road are mostly sleep deprived, and the sun won’t rise for another hour or two.

🚨 BREAKING: Bigfoot officially surrendered the hide-and-seek championship to Mitch McConnell.

[🇺🇸Roger Bernards🍊 @RogerBernards]

America!! I think AOC is on to us!!
😂😂😂

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@LeaderJohnThune After fumbling the ball on the Save America Act, now you’re going to give away your last shot at attaching it to must pass legislation. You should just resign now.

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

Erica Schwartz, QUEEN of vaccine mandates, your new CDC Director: "I will never betray the science, ever. I will go where the science leads us... mRNA is safe and effective."

During military service, she MANDATED a DOZEN vaccines — forcing smallpox, anthrax, and flu shots into U.S. Forces with threats and disciplining those that refused.

Erica Schwartz's most recent employment is President at UnitedHealthcare Insurance — one of the nation’s largest health insurers.

Now she will regulate the very industry she helped lead?

This is a clear conflict of interest for an agency overseeing vaccines, public health policy & insurance-impacting decisions.

What a disastrous pick for our nation...

“Locking the clock is the right instinct. But locking it on the wrong setting doesn’t fix the problem, it makes the harm permanent instead of temporary.”

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

PLEASE CALL Senate Majority Leader John Thune at [phone] and your state’s 2 Senators at [phone] and ask them to support the SUNSHINE FOR OUR KIDS ACT, never permanent Daylight Saving Time!

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@FreeStateColor1 … and one of the most pernicious Government interventions is lying to us about what time it is. CALL Sen. Majority Leader Thune: 202-224-2321 & your Senators: 202-224-3121 ask them support the SUNSHINE FOR OUR KIDS ACT, not permanent Daylight Saving Time!

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@GovofCO PLEASE CALL Senate Majority Leader John Thune at [phone] and your state’s 2 Senators at [phone] and ask them to support the SUNSHINE FOR OUR KIDS ACT, because permanent Daylight Saving Time is actually the worst possible alternative!

[Joe for Colorado @JoeForColo]

@GovofCO NO! https://t.co/4GhUznIROZ…
“The American Academy of Sleep Medicine said it supports the Sunshine for Our Kids Act.” Most Americans agree: we should end the clock changes by making STANDARD TIME permanent, not doubling down on so-called daylight time!
