Update 5/13: We just got a call from Jennifer. Her car broke down in Coffeyville and she is stranded. We think it threw a rod, so it's probably not worth fixing. Mike and I are currently at home in Illinois, but Jennifer is getting the car towed to my Mama's house for now. We will be helping her look for a car. If anyone has or knows of a good car for sale that is reasonably priced, please let me know. You can message me on here. Also, if you can help with a donation of any size, we would all be so grateful! Jennifer cannot return to work until at least the 1st of June, her medical bills are in the thousands, and now we need to help her pay for a car.

Also, Jennifer starts her radiation treatments on Thursday, May 21st. She will have to get a treatment every day, Monday through Friday, for 3 weeks (15 treatments). We plan to go to Arkansas the day before to stay with her for a few days and take her to her first few treatments. We will see how she is feeling from the treatments to decide when to go back home. We will keep you all posted on how things are going with these.

Thank you all so very much for your continued support for Jennifer. Your donations, your sharing, and your prayers mean so much to her and to us (all of her family). We pray that God will bless every one of you beyond measure! 🙏❤

HAHAHAHAHAH Trump got Google Maps to troll the entire Canadian liberal government 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is gold level trolling at its finest

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

It is nearly an impossible task to convey just how amazing kids are to someone who doesn’t have any.

The best way I can describe it is this:

You spend your whole life thinking you understand love.

Then one night, you’ll find yourself standing in a room at 2 a.m., just watching your newborn baby breathe, just to make sure they are still alive.

And you realize in that moment that you would burn the entire world to the ground for the slow rise and fall of that tiny chest.

You become braver and absolutely terrified at the same time.

You start looking for exits in restaurants and worrying about that weird stranger in the parking lot.

You discover a capacity for anger and violence you never knew lived in you until you think you might need it because someone might hurt your kid.

The first time you see your kid, the entire world changes.

You realize you are meant to live for them… not for you.

And it feels good. It feels right.

Like a key to a door you have always been looking at but could never open.

And one ordinary afternoon probably while you’re folding socks or something dumb, it will hit you…

This is how your parents loved you.

This is what she felt watching you sleep.
This is what your dad felt every time he watched you walk out the door.

And you had no idea.

You spent your entire childhood with no idea.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

It’s so beautiful, words fail to describe it.

It’s just right, it was always meant to be this way. ❤️

Do you believe that children should be protected from indoctrination when they go to school?

ABOUT LAKE AMERICA

What's the name of the river that separates Texas from Mexico?

The Rio Grande?

That's right. The Rio Grande.

If you're standing on the north bank.

But if you wade across and stand on the south bank, what's its name then?

If you say, "The Rio Grande," you're an American.

But if you say, "The Rio Bravo," you're a Mexican.

Because that one river has two names. One officially recognized by the American government and one officially recognized by the Mexican government.

Kind of like the Persian Gulf.

On its eastern shores it is the Persian Gulf, on its western shores it is the Arabian Gulf. One body of water, two names, reflecting the values, heritage and pride of the nations which surround it.

A last example: The South China Sea. One body of water, officially known as the South China Sea to China, the East Sea to Vietnam and the West Sea to the Philippines.

Which means if Canada wants to call the easternmost body of fresh water between itself and the United States Lake Ontario, and the United States wants to call that same body of fresh water Lake America, it would be in keeping with a practice established around the world for centuries.

Kind of like the practice of governments changing the names of geographical features for political reasons, like Presidents Obama and Biden did some 650 times.

You knew that, right?

In the last two Democrat administrations, the federal government went on a spree, scrubbing the map of names, people, words and races it found politically unacceptable.

Remember Mount McKinley, Point Barrow, Squaw Peak and Fort Polk?

So, the precedent is broadly and repeatedly established by Barack Obama and Joe Biden -- a president can name any damn thing any damn thing for any damn reason.

Like Trump did.

Like Trump trolled Democrats into believing he did.

It's like he's got a laser pointer and they're a roomful of cats. He plays them like a fish.

He posts on Truth Social and they shit their pants. He scribbles with his giant Sharpie and their heads explode.

He says something about Lake Ontario and they completely forget the six-month anniversary of the Iran War. The Democrats and their puppets on the evening news.

Moron politicians with social media posts from the shore, breathless reporters doing Man On The Street with men on the beach, indignant Canadians spitting on America, earnest Native Americans explaining etymology.

He leads them around by the nose.

"Republicans take Trump seriously, but not literally," a smart man said. "Democrats take Trump literally, not not seriously."

And so he trolls them, for fun and sport. And distraction.

Because the same Democrats and reporters who seem to believe Trump gives a damn what Lake Ontario is called are completely oblivious to the real issue at hand -- which is how the Canadians have lived like leeches off American prosperity for generations.

Take 2025, for example.

Last year, Canada's trade surplus with the United States was about $150 billion. That means that as a result of trade between the two nations, they ended up $150 billion richer and we ended up $150 billion poorer.

That happens because they rip us off. They rig the game to enrich themselves and impoverish us.

That grabbing of American cash becomes more galling when you look at the rest of Canada's top-10 trading relationships, in which it runs a trade deficit with every nation except the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.

In fact, if it wasn't ripping the United States off for $150 billion a year, Canada would run a net trade deficit with the world, meaning that each year it would export wealth and become poorer and poorer. But it takes our money to paper over its weakness.

If it wasn't siphoning off America's prosperity through unfair trade practices, Canada would fall on its financial face.

We carry it on our backs, at the expense of American jobs and prosperity.

And that's what has Trump pissed off. That is what he cares about.

No matter what you call the lake.

This was, and remains, one of the most phenomenal and sensationally brilliant animated videos ever produced to highlight the abuse and cruelty towards women in Sharia law.

Whoever has not yet watched it, I absolutely recommend you do.

Massive praise and credit to @ThePosieParker who created it and shared this incredible video with the world

[AwakenedOutlaw⚒️ @AwakenedOutlaw]

I asked Grok to take a stab at the psychological game Trump plays when he shakes someone's hand and pulls them in close to assert dominance considered alongside other moves he makes, like renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America.

Put your feelings aside and understand why he does what he does. He's operating on a deeper psychological playing field than most realize.

And we know it works because he keeps employing them successfully.

[Global Government Affairs @GlobalAffairs]

The X Safety team conducted an investigation into suspected Chinese inauthentic accounts involved in influence operations:

We identified a bot farm of approximately 200,000 accounts. Within this farm, we found 200 accounts posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy.

These posts contained claims that AI data centers are driving up household electricity prices and straining the grid. Others included AI-generated cartoons that depicted data-center operators enriching themselves at the public's expense.

We remain committed to maintaining an open and authentic platform where people debate topics of public interest. We take seriously any attempts to undermine the integrity of the global town square and suspend accounts that violate our Authenticity policy.

A message from the family of Dolly Parton.

[Ryan Nichols Sr. @RealRyanNichols]

This is my pardon. Signed January 20, 2025. Certificate issued February 4.

I want to show you exactly what it fixed and what it did not, because people assume a document like this closes the book.

What it fixed: the conviction. Legally I am clear. That is real and I am grateful for it. President Trump did that, and I will say thank you for the rest of my life.

Here is what it did not fix.

It did not give back four years. Three in a federal cell and one on an ankle monitor where I was not allowed past my own front door. Fifteen months of that was solitary confinement. Eighteen hours in the cell and one hour out. Then thirty six hours in and one hour out.

It did not fix a family that had to learn how to live without me, and then had to learn how to live with me again.

It did not fix what fifteen months alone in a box does to a man's head.

And it did not touch the record. In December 2021 a federal judge said on the record that my due process rights were violated. Nobody has answered for that. Not one person lost a job. Not one person lost a pension.

A pardon is mercy. Mercy and justice are not the same thing. Both are good. Only one of them makes a system change how it behaves next time.

So I am building the other one.

I am putting the entire record online where it cannot be buried. Documents, transcripts, dates, names, the parts that make people uncomfortable. Not rumor. Not a podcast take. The paper itself.

That is the work. It costs money and hours I do not really have, and I am doing it anyway, because the next family this happens to should not have to start from zero the way I did.

If any of this matters to you, follow along and stay with me. Send it to somebody who still believes this only happens to other people.

I am not asking anyone to take my word for anything.

I am asking you to read the record.

[Millie Marconi @MillieMarconnni]

A Japanese engineer invented the QR code for one job, tracking car parts on a Toyota line, then his company chose to give the patent away for free, which is the only reason it ended up on every restaurant table on Earth.

His name is Masahiro Hara. The company was Denso Wave, a parts supplier owned by Toyota.

In 1992 the problem landed on his desk, and it was not glamorous. Workers on the factory floor were drowning.

Every car part had a barcode, but a barcode can only hold about twenty characters, so to track one component they had to stick five or ten barcodes on it.

A worker would stand there scanning a single part ten times in a row. Some of them were scanning close to a thousand barcodes a day. The job had stopped being about building cars and turned into pointing a scanner at stickers all day long.

And there was a second problem nobody upstairs cared about. This was a factory. Oil got on everything. A smudge of grease across a barcode and the whole thing became unreadable, and the line stopped.

Hara was asked to make the scanner faster. He looked at it for a while and realized the scanner was not the problem. The barcode itself was the ceiling. A line of black bars can only hold information going one direction, left to right.

He decided to build something that held information in two directions, up and down as well as across, so it could store hundreds of times more in the same little square.

Then came the part that sounds made up but is not.

Hara played Go on his lunch breaks, the old board game with black and white stones sitting on a grid. He was staring at the board one day and it clicked.

The grid of black and white stones was already a way to store information in two directions. That was the shape of his code.

But building the code was the easy half. The hard problem was speed, because the whole point was to be fast, and a scanner wastes most of its time just trying to figure out where the code is and which way it is turned.

The fix came to him on a train. He was looking out the window at buildings, and one building stood out from all the others because of its shape against the sky. That was the idea.

He put three little square targets in three corners of the code. The moment a scanner sees those three squares, it knows instantly where the code is and how it is rotated, even upside down, even at an angle.

Now here is the detail that shows how far he was willing to go. Those three corner squares only work if nothing else on the page looks like them.

If a magazine ad or a cardboard box happened to have the same black and white pattern nearby, the scanner would get confused and grab the wrong thing.

So Hara and his tiny two-person team went and surveyed printed material. Magazines. Flyers. Cardboard boxes. Piles of it, for days, reducing every picture down to its ratio of black to white area, hunting for the one ratio that almost never shows up in print anywhere. They found it. One to one to three to one to one.

That exact rhythm of black and white is baked into every corner square of every QR code on Earth, and it is there because it is the pattern the printed world almost never produces by accident.

Then he solved the oil.

He built the code so it carries a backup of its own information, spread mathematically across the whole square. You can tear off, smudge, or scratch out up to thirty percent of a QR code and it still scans perfectly, because the code rebuilds the missing piece from the copy it kept of itself.

A worker could get grease on a third of the label and the line would keep moving. This is the same math that lets a scratched CD still play and lets a spacecraft send data back across the solar system without asking to repeat itself.

He finished in 1994. He named it Quick Response, after what it does for the person using it, not after what it is.

And then Denso made the decision that actually mattered.

They held the patent. They could have charged a fee on every single scan, and given how many billions happen now, that would have made someone unimaginably rich.

Instead they announced they would not enforce their rights to collect royalties, and they published the specification openly so anyone could use it. Hara later said it was not even a big argument inside the company.

That one choice is the whole story. A code that costs nothing to use is a code everyone builds on. Airlines put it on tickets. Phone makers built readers into cameras.

Then a pandemic hit and the world needed a way to hand someone information without touching anything, and the free little square that a Toyota engineer built for greasy factory workers was suddenly on every menu, every payment, every door.

Hara still works there. He has said, more than once, that he never imagined it would spread this far, and that the part he is proudest of is that it got used to keep people safe.

The man built it to survive oil on a factory floor. It ended up surviving everything else too.

You have scanned his work a hundred times this year. Now you know whose it was.
