68 million laptops get "upgraded" every year for a problem that has nothing to do with the hardware inside them.
Not the CPU. Not the RAM. Not the SSD. Not age.
I spent an afternoon with an IT technician who has personally repaired over 400 laptops for friends, family, and small businesses over the last decade and what he told me completely changed how I think about "slow" computers.
"Nobody's laptop actually dies at 2 years," he said. "What dies is patience. Windows Update alone can eat 40% of your CPU in the background, permanently, silently, unless you go in and touch one specific setting most people don't even know exists."
He walked me through the exact 9 settings he checks, in order, every single time someone hands him a laptop and says "it just got slow for no reason."
None of them cost money. None of them require new hardware. Most take under 60 seconds each.
Here's the full breakdown 🧵
🇺🇸 TURN IT UP, AMERICA. 🇺🇸
The liberals are already losing their minds over LAKE AMERICA… so naturally, it needed its own summer anthem.
And here it is — the FIRST song about Lake America.
Boats. Cold beer. Sunshine. Freedom. Beautiful women. Red, white, and blue. This thing sounds like summer in America turned all the way up.
Liberals, don’t be shy. Roll the windows down and crank it up, baby.
You’re gonna LOVE this one. 😂🇺🇸
LAKE AMERICA! 🔥
If you're questioning America's connection to Christianity, look no further than Gettysburg. When Abraham Lincoln saw the horrors of that battlefield—months after the slaughter, with bodies still stacked like cordwood—he fell to his knees, a broken man.
But instead of giving up, he begged God for an answer, and it came to him: this war wasn't about preserving the Union. It was about freeing the MEN, made in God's image, who were still enslaved. Lincoln then issued the Emancipation Proclamation and called the entire nation to a day of fasting, prayer, and humiliation to repent before God.
Before that turning point, the Union lost almost every battle. From Gettysburg forward, after renewing America's covenant with God (that's right, RENEWING), they won almost every single one.
Did you know the birth of modern computing and AI is directly tied to both the Nazi concentration camps and the Allied victory?
The Nazis owed a lot to IBM, which custom-built and maintained the punch-card machines that allowed them to round up and categorize millions of people. IBM was asked to stop, but they kept going. When researcher Edwin Black finally had them dead to rights with the documents, IBM admitted he was right.
But they were never held accountable. In fact—and this may be the scariest part—when IBM built their modern AI computer to scan hospital records and track medical data, they named it "Watson," after their former CEO Thomas J. Watson, who authorized the dealings with the Nazis.
But at the exact same time, Alan Turing helped build one of the first computers to crack the impossible Nazi Enigma code and help the Allies win the war. He went on to predict the rise of AI that we're currently living in.
Technology is a double-edged sword: in the hands of a free people, it can break the back of a totalitarian regime. In the hands of a surveillance state, it becomes the ultimate tool of control. If we don't learn from history, we'll walk right into the trap a second time.
CLARENCE THOMAS JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT ARGUMENT FOR WHY THE SUPREME COURT'S BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP RULING IS CONSTITUTIONALLY WRONG
Not a political objection. Not a policy disagreement. NAMED HISTORY. SPECIFIC TEXT. Amendment by amendment.
📜 14th Amendment, 1868 — "ONE pervading purpose": securing equal citizenship for FREED SLAVES after the Civil War
📜 Reconstruction Congress intent — zero evidence the drafters contemplated children of foreign temporary visitors or illegal aliens
📜 "Subject to the jurisdiction" clause — Thomas: means full political allegiance, not mere physical presence on US soil
📜 The majority opinion — Thomas says it REPURPOSED the Amendment to protect preferred rights the drafters NEVER contemplated
📜 Thomas's direct quote — those rights "CANNOT find support in the text today"
📜 His warning on the ruling — "I am not sure that today's opinion will stand the test of time"
📜 Thomas during April 2026 oral arguments — probed whether immigration debates even existed when the 14th was written
📜 His core distinction — freed slaves were entitled to citizenship because they were Americans with no other homeland; children of foreign nationals are not in the same category
📜 Roberts and Barrett — joined the liberal bloc in the 6-3 majority in Trump v. Barbara
📜 Gorsuch — joined Thomas in dissent; Alito filed a separate dissent
💀 91 pages
💀 1 purpose the 14th Amendment actually had, per Thomas
💀 ZERO rights the Reconstruction Congress contemplated for children of foreign nationals
💀 100% of Thomas's argument grounded in the specific post-Civil War historical record — not modern policy preference
Every argument on this list is anchored in the text and history of the Amendment. Not in what the Court wishes it said. In what the people who wrote it actually intended.
The Court's ruling stands. But Thomas put a 91-page marker on the record.
Thomas's dissent is still ticking. These are the arguments at the core of it.
I'll keep you updated as this unfolds, turn on notifications this is EXTREMELY important.
🚨 4,000 houses across from Hillsborough River State Park.
Hillsborough County is considering changing a project from 700 to 4,000 units despite infrastructure that can barely handle today’s traffic.
The maximum allowable donation for local county commissioners is $1,000. Developers have found a loophole by using multiple LLCs. If you create 25 LLCs, you can legally donate $25,000 in total, effectively circumventing campaign finance laws.
Meanwhile, Florida bought conservation easements from the president and vice president of PBA Holdings, a company involved in Project Tango, the proposed data center project.
That comes after the state approved an $83 MILLION, 4-acre Destin sandbar with little to no conservation value.
Where is the Agriculture Commissioner?
@WiltonSimpson took $25,000 from the developer and voted to approve the Destin sandbar.
Florida deserves better.
