UP Big Boy 4014 crew pairs up with RBM&N 2012 crew for a joint photo at Mountaintop, PA this afternoon. Very exciting moment that had “Golden Spike” vibes.
One thing I love about Europeans visiting America is watching them discover what freedom tastes like.
Not freedom in a Constitution, but freedom as a mindset. Americans build + live without caring what others think. This is freedom.
Once you’ve tasted it, it’s hard to go back.
Foreign countries have been allowed to buy American utility companies
“Why in the world is the United States federal government allowing foreign corporations to own American utility companies”
The issue is widespread. Spain, the UK, Canada and more own major stakes in American utility companies in many different states
We are being sold out
Mitch McConnell is in the hospital. We don’t know why yet. But doesn’t it beg the question, should we have term limits for those serving in the house and Senate? Or at least a cognitive test?
Unusual GPS jamming activity has been reported across northern Israel, Lebanon, and Syria, raising concerns of heightened military activity and electronic warfare operations in the region.

Iranian-Jewish Doctor Drops Truth Bomb No Feminist Will Touch:
Dr. Sheila Nazarian:
"I studied Islam classes while I was at Columbia University, because I wanted to know what it says in the Quran that made my family have to escape Iran under gunfire, by border police.
I've read the Quran. I know what it says to do to Jews in the Quran, and no one can deny it to me because I studied it.
Shariah law is not compatible with the West.
Women are worth half as much. Women need their husband’s permission to travel outside the country or go anywhere. Women can be stoned. This is why my family got me out of Iran under the Islamic regime."
I couldn't agree more with her. Shariah law is simply not compatible with any non-Muslim country.
Why are Christians forced to wear a symbol that runs wildly counter to their deeply-held, centuries-old religious beliefs?
Why is rabid, hatemongering Christophobia OK but a mild stance against sin considered abhorrent?
How about you LGBTQ+ people actually practice the live-and-let-live principles you falsely claim to espouse?
The bigots here are not the Christians. The bigots here are the people demanding that innocent Christians publicly disavow their faith.
AT&T Stadium: Another Architectural Engineering Marvel by the Americans
America keeps proving why they are the absolute best in the world when it comes to sports entertainment. It’s genuinely hilarious how they rebranded and reconstructed a massive American football dome in under six months just to meet strict FIFA standards for the World Cup.
AT&T Stadium (temporarily renamed "Dallas Stadium" due to FIFA’s strict anti-sponsor rules) is an absolute titan of modern engineering. Built for a staggering $1.3 billion by Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, this 3-million-square-foot monster in Texas is officially the largest roofed stadium on earth.
While it comfortably seats 80,000 fans, its flexible design allows it to expand to over 100,000 capacity. The arena is structurally supported by two of the longest single-span steel arches on the planet, features retractable glass walls, and is famous for its legendary, 1.2-million-pound Mitsubishi HD video board hanging directly over the center circle.
But what makes it truly fascinating right now is how it completely transformed its identity to host elite international football, like the Netherlands vs. Japan match tonight.
Because the stadium permanently uses artificial turf for the NFL and FIFA strictly demands real grass, engineers spent over 45,000 intense man-hours executing a high-tech pitch overhaul. They hauled in 15,000 tons of material, starting with subsurface ventilation and irrigation networks laid right over the concrete floor, followed by layers of specialized sand.
They then brought in 24 refrigerated trucks carrying massive rolls of premium hybrid Kentucky bluegrass and ryegrass grown in Colorado. To make the pitch sturdy enough to survive nine grueling World Cup matches, specialized machinery literally stitched millions of synthetic nylon fibers directly into the natural sod.
The absolute coolest piece of wizardry here is how they keep the grass alive inside a closed dome. Because the roof blocks vital sunlight, they installed a groundbreaking, automated grow-light system suspended directly from the ceiling.
When turned on, these massive overhead rigs bathe the pitch in a vibrant, glowing pink hue to power photosynthesis. On match days, the entire light system is hoisted 290 feet into the rafters completely out of the fans' sightlines, and once the final whistle blows, they are lowered back down to nurse the grass.
Just like SoFi, this entire engineering feat is temporary. Once the World Cup wraps up, the hybrid grass will be entirely recycled, and the stadium will shift right back to its standard synthetic turf just in time for the NFL season. The sheer level of flexibility and execution is unreal.
Going to church on Sunday doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. This man pretends to be Catholic yet supports abortion.
THAT DIDNT TAKE LONG:
A Hezbollah drone launched from Lebanon was intercepted over northern Israel before midnight, according to the IDF.
The military said no sirens sounded in towns, “according to protocol.”
The drone was successfully intercepted and no injuries were reported.
When are the countries actually included in negotiating the deal going to disarm the IR proxies?
This cost @DominionEnergy ratepayers $750,000,000, paid by your electric bill.
Charybdis is installing CVOW windmill turbines visible off Virginia Beach
Dominion admitted at full install, it’s only going to deliver 40% of electricity promised, due to infrastructure limitations
This is all so insane. We found this when we got back to our room. And then someone even sent cupcakes to our room. I genuinely don’t understand how it got to this point. We’re just normal World Cup tourists.😭😭
