@Genetics56 Reallocation of state budgets by Congress between states seems implicitly unconstitutional. State government and budgets are independent.

Is this from the Embassy row on ChangAn?

37 years ago today, the Chinese government brutally crushed peaceful protesters in and around Tiananmen Square who were demanding an end to corruption, freedom of speech, and democratic reform. The massacre revealed a truth the world should never forget: the Chinese Communist Party will do whatever it takes to preserve its grip on power. If it did not value the lives of its own citizens, why would it value the lives of others?

On this night in 1781, one man on a horse saved the American Revolution from losing Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, and half of Virginia's government in a single morning.

You were never taught his name.

June 3, 1781. The British had chased Virginia's entire government out of Richmond. Jefferson, in his final days as governor, and the legislature had fled to Charlottesville, thinking they were safe in the foothills.

They were wrong.

That evening, 26 year old militia captain Jack Jouett was at a tavern in Louisa County when roughly 250 of the most feared cavalry in the British army came pounding down the road. Their commander: Banastre Tarleton, nicknamed "The Butcher," the man whose dragoons had cut down surrendering Americans at Waxhaws.

There was only one place they could be going. Charlottesville. 40 miles away. And the capture of Jefferson, the author of the Declaration of Independence, would be the prize of the war.

Jouett couldn't outrun them on the main road. So he didn't use it.

He swung onto overgrown backwoods trails and the abandoned Old Mountain Road, riding 40 miles through the dark with only the full moon for light. Legend says low hanging branches whipped and scarred his face for life.

Tarleton stopped his men for a 3 hour rest. Jouett never stopped.

Before sunrise on June 4, he came up the mountain to Monticello and woke Jefferson. Then he rode down into Charlottesville and warned the legislature.

Jefferson got out with minutes to spare. British dragoons were coming up his mountain as he left. The legislature escaped over the Blue Ridge to Staunton. Tarleton caught only seven stragglers, one of them a frontiersman serving in the legislature named Daniel Boone.

Paul Revere rode about 12 miles in 1775 and got captured before reaching Concord. Longfellow wrote him a poem and made him immortal.

Jack Jouett rode 40 miles, lost nothing, saved everything, and got a thank you gift of two pistols and a sword from the Virginia Assembly.

No poem. No fame. Almost no memory.

@Genetics56 It is how those politicians with Communist and Socialist views see labor and economics. Very telling

China’s Unitree Robotics makes its first appearance on America’s Got Talent, with all four judges unanimously voting it through to the next round. Unitree is using this as a stepping stone for its upcoming IPO, but Americans have no idea.

To be honest, I think the dance by this human performer from Sichuan, Flying Bug, is quite average. Without these robots, he probably wouldn’t have made it through.

Chinese people are very good at exploiting America’s open society to achieve their own various goals. However, the CCP has recently introduced strict control measures: their own AI talents are not allowed to leave the country.

Even the already completed Meta acquisition of Manus has been overturned.
Several founding members of Manus have been recalled to China and will most likely never be allowed to leave again.

 What do you think?

[Ken Hayashida @TrekDocFan]

@jenniferzeng97 Thank you.
The tanks on ChangAn Ave said it all. A massive turning point for the world and justice still not served yet.

One of the most important Tweets I have ever seen

[Inconvenient Truths — Jennifer Zeng Reports @jenniferzeng97]

In 1989, I was a graduate student at Peking University and experienced the entire movement from start to finish, observing it up close.

I had two best friends. One was a member of the Peking University football team. On the evening of June 3rd, at Muxidi, when the army opened fire, a person fell right beside him. He carried the person into a taxi. By the time they reached the hospital, the man had died in his arms, covering his white shirt entirely in blood...

I saw his blood-stained shirt and his bicycle, which had a bullet hole in the chain guard.

His girlfriend, who was also my good friend, was at Tiananmen Square that night. They only began retreating when the shooting started, running into the small alleys near Tiananmen. Whenever they heard gunshots, they would quickly squat down. After the gunfire stopped and they stood up, they would often find people who could no longer stand...

They fled like this for a long distance... I forgot how she eventually made it back to school.

On June 4th, I spent a long time together with the two of them. I don’t remember exactly when I heard that Peking University was about to be placed under military control and that students should find places to stay outside. So I slept on the desk in somebody's office.

Around June 12th, we took a train together and escaped Beijing amid the chaos (we had to ask someone to pull strings to get the tickets).

At that time, the air was still filled with the smoke from burning things...

@ConnorKeel84152 @USCTrojansFTFO Bro, it’s not like Bevacqua had Jen Cohen’s email, right? More like the USC email was autosorted behind Rice, Auburn, and G5? 99 yr rivalry be damned

[Ken Hayashida @TrekDocFan]

This AD sat on a 99 year rivalry, made weak attempts at continuing that rivalry series, but signed replacement games with other schools???
Football is the revenue driver & always has been for 110 years.

[Ben Portnoy @bportnoy15]

Notre Dame AD Pete Bevacqua responding to a question from Sen. Cruz about what happens if Congress does nothing:

"If you continue to have all your resources pulled into football with escalating roster fees and not knowing where that ends, I believe the inevitable outcome is there's going to be a small handful of schools that will differentiate themselves from others and play football at a super league-level.

"I don't think it's good for college football to be a mini-NFL. That's not the spirit of college football. That's not what college football is about."

[Ken Hayashida @TrekDocFan]

@ConnorKeel84152 @USCTrojansFTFO Yeah Paul Dee sucks. ND’s AD contributed little today. Not because it was false, but because anyone following CFB media rights for the past 15 years already knew that info. The politicians in DC are slower rushing the ball than a 400 lb offensive lineman after his second lunch

@esherifftv I wonder if SpaceX can build a kitchen space in Starship capable of making a double-double, animal style fries, and shakes.

[CFBTalkDaily @CFBTalkDaily]

It’s so funny seeing Nick Saban and other big time names in the South complain about the state of college football,

Yes it’s flawed but they’ve been paying players for years

It’s only a problem now that other programs do It to and frankly have more money available

[Ken Hayashida @TrekDocFan]

@Genetics56 100% right

I woke up six hours ago to these exact same numbers. I went on TV four hours ago to decry California’s disgraceful vote counting system. And as of one minute ago, the vote count has not budged by a single ballot since they stopped last night. It’s almost 10am out there.

@ScottGustin That is so beautiful.
