What’s actually stopping you from making $51/hr with just a GED as a Coalman at Basin Electric’s Antelope Valley Coal Station…owning this affordable family home in Hazen, ND…
and spending your summers swimming and fishing at Beulah Bay with a camper spot? Full benefits that include a 15% employer retirement match on your 5% BTW 👀

Too cold? No downtown club life?

@GabrielTheValor @brim006 Do you not understand how taxes work?! Max federal tax rate is 37% on income OVER $640k - just the money earned over that and ND max Income tax is 2.5% by quick search. Quick math on 100k in ND is less then 20% effective tax rate.

What radicalized you?

For me, it happened back in my freshman year of high school in the early 2000s. The head coach of our hockey team believed in getting the team home to our own beds after road games no matter what instead of staying in hotels. Hotels were a distraction. With no hotel costs, he wanted to use the money to upgrade our road meals. Nothing fancy, just basic meat and potatoes type places like Cracker Barrel or Perkins instead of cold Little Caesars on a dark January bus ride home across rural North Dakota. The athletic director and superintendent shut the idea down and basically just absorbed the savings from his no hotel policy into the athletics budget.

So after that our coach, the other assistants, the parents, and us players started fundraising in the off‑season in hopes to get better meals on the road. The first year went great. We raised a ton and were easily able to have nicer sit down meals on every single trip. We all sat together at big tables, had actual food choices, ate healthier and built even more camaraderie. It was fantastic all around.

But then other sports teams and parents caught wind. It was seen as unfair. The AD, principal, and superintendent demanded we stop, in order to keep things “equal” across all sports at our public school. They even tried to force our coach to hand over the privately raised money so it could be redistributed. Thankfully, our coach was an old‑school Canadian ex‑pro hockey player who didn’t take shit from anyone, and told them to F off, and we continued with our meatloaf road meals as planned. The principal and AD eventually backed off, but the superintendent had a vendetta against our team and probably mostly just our coach so he never stopped. He even went as low as instructing bus drivers not to take us to the restaurants we’d planned for on the road. Our coach always overrode it, once even driving the bus himself since he had the license from coaching cross‑country.

Over the next few years we continued the fundraising for better meals. Some of the other teams, and other parents continued to badger the supt., our coach and even sometime us players about it instead of just joining us in fundraising.

Watching peers and especially some of our own “leaders” work so hard to sabotage a positive thing for us was eye opening and really stuck with us. It gave us an early look at how petty and nefarious and systems and people can be, even at the local level.

And honestly, in the end, all it did was radicalize about 30 teenage hockey players for the rest of their lives who walked away believing “equality” was the dirtiest word in the English language. 😂

@KendoVT That’s expensive!

What a moment for Gary Woodland ❤️

⛳️ In 2023, Woodland had brain surgery to remove a lesion pressing on his brain
⛳️ Earlier this year, he revealed he was diagnosed with PTSD about a year ago
⛳️ Today, he won the Texas Children's Houston Open for his first win since the 2019 U.S. Open

Amazing 👏

Have to hand it to Nebraska fans. They've created the best first weekend atmosphere of the tournament down in Oklahoma City. Really impressive and the Huskers are feeding off it.

Iran has reportedly kidnapped the families of the Iranian women’s soccer team members who requested asylum & the women are now abandoning those claims and returning to the country to face torture or death. No prominent left wing American women’s soccer players have said a word.

@BEisenhart Key thing not a very large area- makes it a choke point. I also don’t think naval warfare has adapted to what is going on, way behind in tech

Canada is insanely stacked - perhaps the best team ever assembled. If the US manages to somehow beat them it will be the greatest hockey upset against a Communist power since the Miracle on Ice.

The existence of Ilhan Omar is honestly amazing.

She’s spent the past 20 years presenting herself to the world as a persecuted refugee and entire legions of progressive journalists have dedicated themselves to pushing this official line and sane-washing her story.

For example, her Wikipedia quotes a Guardian article which states that her father “raised her to know the importance of democracy.”

In reality, her father was a feared colonel in a Marxist dictatorship which carried out a brutal genocide against minority groups in Somalia.

Her family only fled Somalia when they lost power, which is when they decided to reinvent themselves as lovers of hashtag diversity, pluralism, democracy, blah blah blah.

Armed with this new inspirational backstory, Ilhan Omar managed to get herself elected to the United States Congress by exploiting the guilty consciences of naive white liberals who thought they were voting for a genuine persecuted refugee.

And once elected, she didn’t even bother to pretend to care about America. She hosted events with politicians from Somalia who openly shouted with ecstatic glee that she only served Somali interests. Everyone saw these videos but we were all supposed to just pretend that it’s normal, because noticing that Ilhan Omar cared more about Somalia than America would be racist or something.

Members of her own party saw these videos which presented undeniable proof that she didn’t even see herself as American, but they were so broken by Western self-hatred that they had to just pretend that it was fine.

And she’s continued like this for years now.

When she speaks in English she talks about multiculturalism, pluralism and kindness. But when she speaks to her community in Somali - when she thinks white liberals aren’t looking - she’s basically like “GENOCIDE THE SOMALILANDER RATS!”

Naive white liberals post # I Stand With Ilhan Omar hashtags as she just runs around calling for the mass murder of ethnic minorities in her home country.

Just amazing. Again, you could not even make this up as satire.

A thread of videos from today’s flight into Hurricane Melissa

In this first one we are entering from the southeast just after sunrise and the bright arc on the far northwest eye wall is the light just beginning to make it over the top from behind us.

We get to see the Big Ten's finest every single week. The SEC suspends poor officiating. The Big Ten probably rewards it.

That's an atrocious call.

@cowbroker I find the change in distribution by county crazy. Adams from number 1 to out of top 10 . Cedar county from mid of pack to the top. Suppose it gets skewed by some BTO’s in those county’s

[Dusty Knuth @dkstakes]

@mikejschaefer Just had the same conversation with group of friends on BIG.. I think parity in these conferences never been as close. No real juggernauts

@wardynmi This is misleading. There are ~46M with German ancestry not that many actual Germans and most of us are 4th-5th generation Americans - no longer Germans
