Maricopa County was caught illegally breaking the seals of tabulation machines and reprogramming the memory cards, which was only admitted 7 months later after they were caught on video.

Maricopa County did NOT test ANY of the tabulators for logic & accuracy used at the 246 vote centers, which is required by law, that they claim they did test on 10/11/2022, which logs later proved there was NO tabulators tested or even turned on. They only tested 5 spare machines.

On 11/8/2022 there were 464,926 ballot scan attempts, over 50% had misfeed issues and would not tabulate any ballots, especially in high Republican areas.

The Election Assistance Commission limits misfeed issues to 1 in 500 ballots. Maricopa County's misfeed issues were 1 in 2 ballots.

Machines rejected 180,894 in-person ballots on Election Day out of 248,070 total cast. 260 out of the 445+ tabulators used in Arizona rejected ballots with the same error codes that arose on Election Day.

Tabulators rejected over 7000 ballots every 30 mins. What did they program on those memory cards, why didn't they test the machines, and why were logs missing?

Millions of baked bricks form the core of the best-preserved ziggurat outside Mesopotamia. This 3,000-year-old Elamite structure sits largely isolated in the Iranian landscape.

It survived the violent sacking by Ashurbanipal and centuries of erosion with an uncanny level of structural integrity.

Imagine a world where you need a photo ID to buy cheap spirits or rent a lime-green scooter that you’ll inevitably crash into a bush, but to choose the leader of the free world... all you need is to whisper a name.

In twelve states and D.C., this honor system is currently the bedrock of democracy. It’s the "Trust Me, Bro" approach to governance.

Enter the SAVE Act. It’s a bill so aggressively common-sense that it feels like a glitch in the Matrix. It asks for one radical thing: prove you’re a citizen before you register to vote. A passport, a birth certificate. Basic adulting stuff. But instead of sailing through, it’s currently being treated like a radioactive hot potato in the Senate.

The Democrats are blocking it, which is more expected than Grey's Anatomy renewed for another season. But the Republicans, supposed to be the "good guys"? those are the ones holding the pillow over its face.

Mummy-Mitch McConnell is sitting on the markup making sure it keeps collecting dust. Senators like Murkowski are basically saying, "Why try if we might fail?" which is a great motto for a nihilist’s tombstone but a terrible way to run a country.

I remember Smartmatic in Venezuela, and the machines that turned elections into jokes. Once you lose the paper trail and the ID checks, you aren't voting anymore. You're just sliding a piece of paper directly into a furnace.

The SAVE Act is the emergency brake on a car headed for a cliff. And right now, the people in the driver’s seat are pretending they can’t find the pedal.

A useful way to think about migration is to consider what kind of societies the migrants have built in their home countries and to what extent you would like those conditions replicated here.

And Americans pay for it.

Send them home. End the scam.

EXCELLENT breakdown of what Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger and 18 other Democrat Governors, including DC, have signed to permanently change how we elected the President of the United States

“Virginia's governor just signed a law that makes your vote for President irrelevant
— On April 13th, governor Spanberger quietly signed HB 965, a bill that joins Virginia to something called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

Here's what that actually means. If Virginia votes one way for president, but the rest of the country goes the other direction, Virginia's electoral votes go with the country, not with who you voted for. Now, the framing they're selling is every vote matters equally, which sounds great, but here's what they're not telling you.

The Electoral college wasn't broken. It was designed specifically to make sure that rural states, small states and communities outside of major cities still had a voice in who becomes president.

Under this compact presidential campaigns would have zero reason to care about Virginia outside of Richmond and Northern Virginia. I mean, why would they? You just hand your votes to wherever New York and California go?

Some legal scholars have argued, the framers of the Constitution explicitly rejected the idea of popular elections for President, and that changing the system requires a constitutional amendment, not a state level workaround.

And here's the part that should bother everyone regardless of party.

As of March, 2026, every single governor who has signed this compact into law has been a Democrat, not one Republican. This wasn't bipartisan reform. This was a party using a legislative shortcut to restructure how presidents get elected without touching the constitution.

We are a republic, not a pure democracy. That distinction matters because pure democracies let 51% of the country permanently ignore the other 49%. Virginia just took a step toward erasing its own voice in national elections, and they did it while nobody was watching.”

Isn’t it amazing how this works? When Democrats have the majority, their radical agenda gets shoved to the floor and passed at lightning speed.
But when Republicans take control? Suddenly it’s Democrat priorities still getting fast-tracked and passed.
At some point WE have to ask, do Republicans even want to fight for America or are they just there to play backup for the other side?

Because from where WE THE PEOPLE are sitting, this looks like a scripted performance of stalling, sabotaging President Trump, and selling out the American people.

We can blame @LeaderJohnThune and @SpeakerJohnson for weak, ineffective or even complicit behavior, but the truth is both were voted in by Republicans in the House and Senate.

This is on all of them.

Yesterday, the White House approved the advancement of multiple pipeline projects carrying Alberta oil to the United States.

Expanding pipeline capacity to the U.S. is something I’ve been advocating from this U.S. Administration since their last election. It has paid off!

This is great news for Alberta and Canada. It has the potential to unlock hundreds of billions in energy investment for our province and country.

We hope the federal government moves this fast when it comes to our pipeline project submission in June. Let’s get these pipelines built!

Hot take but SpaceX is probably the best civil engineering company in the world. Somehow they are able to make these insanely complex ground system and building designs and find the perfect contractors and technicians to build out their ideas in months or 1-2 years.

I feel like we need the SpaceX methodology and their contractors across many projects. If we did we could probably have gotten so much done and in a much higher quality.

They say you can’t have fast, cheap, and good, but somehow SpaceX always manages to deliver on all 3.

Any construction project that has cost overruns of almost 80% over the original construction budget deserves some serious review. And these people are in charge of monetary policy in the United States?

🇮🇹🏛️ EL PANTEÓN DE ROMA:
El misterio del agujero que nunca inunda 🌧️.

Podrías pensar que tener un agujero de ocho metros en el techo es una falla de diseño, pero en el Panteón de Roma es una obra maestra de ingeniería.

Este óculo deja entrar la lluvia directamente al edificio, sin embargo, el interior jamás se inunda.

El secreto reside en su suelo de mármol, que posee una ligera curvatura convexa casi imperceptible que dirige el agua hacia los bordes.

Allí, una red de 22 drenajes ocultos evacua el líquido de forma inmediata, un sistema que ha funcionado a la perfección durante casi dos mil años.

Esta estructura nos demuestra la genialidad romana para canalizar los elementos en lugar de simplemente bloquearlos.

El Panteón sigue en pie como un testimonio de una arquitectura diseñada para la eternidad, donde la funcionalidad y la estética se fundan en una solución técnica que hoy seguimos admirando.

¿Crees que la arquitectura moderna ha perdido esa capacidad de crear estructuras que duran milenios, o simplemente hemos cambiado la durabilidad por la conveniencia inmediata?

@MJTruthUltra Virginia is the latest to do this. 18 others already already signed on the the NPVIC. (National popular vote interstate Compact). What do you notice about the now 19 states taking part? 🤔

Quando l’imperatore Traiano ordinò la costruzione della Colonna Traiana nel 113 d.C., gli ingegneri romani si trovarono di fronte a un problema che nessun manuale poteva risolvere.
Il monumento non fu scolpito da un unico blocco di pietra. Fu invece realizzato con 18 enormi cilindri di marmo di Carrara, ciascuno del peso di circa 40 tonnellate.
Ma ecco la parte straordinaria.
Prima che i blocchi venissero sollevati e posizionati, gli operai avevano già scolpito all’interno di ognuno una scala a chiocciola. Una volta impilati, questi segmenti interni dovevano combaciare perfettamente per formare una scala continua alta quasi 30 metri.
Oggi, all’interno della colonna, i visitatori possono ancora salire i 185 gradini della scala a spirale.
Ciò significa che gli ingegneri romani dovettero calcolare con precisione assoluta l’orientamento, l’angolazione e l’allineamento di ogni singolo tamburo di marmo prima che venisse sollevato con gru azionate da carrucole, argani e forza umana.
Se anche un solo blocco fosse stato ruotato leggermente, la scala non si sarebbe collegata.
Se anche un gradino fosse stato scolpito solo pochi centimetri più alto, il passaggio si sarebbe interrotto.
Eppure, il sistema funzionò perfettamente.
All’esterno, la colonna è avvolta da un rilievo a spirale lungo circa 200 metri, che raffigura le vittorie dell’imperatore nelle guerre daciche.
La decorazione gira 23 volte attorno al fusto, raccontando in modo continuo le imprese dei soldati romani: costruzione di ponti, marce nelle foreste e battaglie contro il regno dei Daci.
Quasi due millenni dopo, la colonna è ancora in piedi nel Foro di Traiano.
Non solo come opera d’arte, ma come prova della straordinaria precisione dell’ingegneria romana.

YOUR BONES ARE NOT SOLID. THEY ARE PIEZOELECTRIC CRYSTALS THAT GENERATE ELECTRICITY EVERY TIME YOU MOVE.

You were taught that your skeleton is a dead frame. Calcium scaffolding. A coat hanger for your muscles. That is the biggest lie in anatomy.

Your bones are alive. They contain more nerve endings than your skin. They produce every red blood cell in your body — 2 million per second. They store 99% of your calcium, 85% of your phosphorus, and 60% of your magnesium. Your skeleton is not structural support. It is a chemical factory and an electrical generator.

In 1957, Japanese orthopedic surgeon Dr. Iwao Yasuda discovered that when human bone is compressed or bent, it produces a measurable electrical voltage. He called it the piezoelectric effect. The same principle used in quartz watches, microphones, and sonar technology. Your bones are literally crystals that convert mechanical stress into electricity.

This is not metaphor. This is physics.

When you walk, every step generates an electrical charge through your bones. That charge signals your osteoblasts — bone-building cells — to deposit new mineral exactly where the stress occurred. This is why astronauts lose 1-2% of their bone density per month in space. No gravity. No compression. No piezoelectric signal. No rebuilding.

Dr. Robert O. Becker proved in the 1960s that this electrical signal is what controls all bone healing. He applied micro-currents to non-healing fractures and watched bones regenerate that doctors had given up on. His work led to the FDA-approved bone growth stimulators used in hospitals today — devices that apply specific electrical frequencies to accelerate bone repair by up to 300%.

But here is what they never connected for you: if your bones generate electricity from movement, and that electricity controls bone density, then a sedentary population is not just unfit. It is electrically dead. The skeleton stops generating its own repair signal. Osteoporosis is not a calcium deficiency. It is a voltage deficiency.

They told you to take calcium pills. They should have told you that your bones are batteries that only charge when you move.

Every step you take is not just exercise. It is electricity. Your skeleton is a living, breathing, self-charging crystal matrix that was designed to carry current from the ground through your entire body.

You are not a machine that runs on food. You are a bioelectric system that runs on frequency, voltage, and movement. And they made sure you sat still.
