California Democrats are preparing to ban essentially ALL after market tires
This is a real proposal from the California Energy Commission called the Replacement Tire Efficiency Program
“I mean pretty much every aftermarket tire sold in the state is going to be regulated, and no one is talking about it — Tires use energy, some more than others, and California wants to lower the energy use of tires on their vehicles so less CO2 goes into the atmosphere”
It’s for climate change….
I looked into what their plan is
It would require all replacement and aftermarket tires sold in California to meet strict low rolling resistance standards similar to those on new cars (OEM tires)
Tires that don’t meet the targets phased in starting 2028, with stricter rules in 2031 could not be legally sold in the state
OEM tires on new cars are optimized for low rolling resistance (better fuel economy/lower emissions), but this often means shallower tread depth, shorter lifespan, and sometimes reduced grip
Many popular aftermarket tires (especially performance, all-season, or longer-lasting ones) have higher rolling resistance for better handling, durability, or traction. So they will be banned
Here’s what it really means for every day people
Lower rolling resistance leads to more frequent tire replacements, increasing production emissions and costs
It does the exact opposite of what Democrats are saying. It’s a proposal that’s being prepared to be passed
Julian Dorey w/ Randall Carlson - The 1871 Fires Were NOT Natural
The Great Chicago Fire.
The Peshtigo Fire.
The Manistee Fire.
All three burst out *simultaneously* on October 8, 1871 — across different cities, different states.
2,000+ dead. 3.8 million acres burned in hours.
Carlson breaks down why this wasn't just bad luck with a lantern.

🚨✈️ WHOAAAA!! A passenger tried to open the emergency exit at 32,000 feet. One Jiu-Jitsu instructor stood up, shut it down, and held him there until the plane safely landed in Miami.
Absolute skill and composure when it mattered most. 🙏🏾
On June 3, 1965, Ed White opened the hatch of his Gemini capsule and floated into the void, becoming the first American to walk in space.
What followed was 23 minutes of pure joy, one lost glove, and one of the most haunting radio calls in NASA history.
White was the perfect man for it. A West Point athlete who missed the 1952 US Olympic team in the 400m hurdles by a fraction, now floating 100+ miles above the Earth holding a small gas-powered "zip gun" to push himself around.
The gun ran out of fuel in about 3 minutes. He didn't care. He tumbled, twisted his tether, took photos, and watched the planet roll underneath him. During his walk he traveled from above the Pacific near Hawaii to the Gulf of Mexico, crossing thousands of miles while just hanging there.
Meanwhile his spare thermal glove drifted out the open hatch and floated away, becoming one of the first pieces of space junk, a single glove orbiting Earth at 17,000 mph.
Then Mission Control ordered him back in. He didn't come. They told him again. Capcom Gus Grissom kept at him while White found one more thing to look at, one more photo to take. When he finally gave in, he said:
"I'm coming back in... and it's the saddest moment of my life."
The scariest part came after. The hatch wouldn't latch. White and commander Jim McDivitt had to physically wrestle it shut, knowing that if it didn't seal, neither of them would survive reentry. It sealed.
Here's the part that breaks your heart. Nineteen months later, Ed White was killed in the Apollo 1 fire alongside Gus Grissom, the same man who had called him back inside.
He never got to walk on the Moon. But for 23 minutes in 1965, no human being had ever looked happier farther from home.

Marco Rubio doesn’t hold back after Democrat Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove cuts him off and refuses to let him answer her questions during a House Foreign Affairs hearing:
"Why am I here if I don’t get to answer your questions or your defamatory statements?"
"You get asked questions for five minutes and you don't get time to answer? It's not a hearing!"
🚨 HOLY CRAP! Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib just erupted in RAGE on the floor after Rep. Max Miller called her out DIRECTLY for supporting Islamic terrorists!
🔥
"Hezbollah is a TERRORIST group...you like to hang out with!"
*Tlaib yells*
"You ADVOCATE for TERRORISTS on a DAILY BASIS."
"Oh, I'M SORRY, are we getting a little emotional?" 😂
"You advocate for a terrorist regime every single DAY, the gentlelady from Michigan. You associate with them."
*She keeps shouting*
TLAIB: "That is a direct attack on my character! Strike the words down!!" 🤣
*Keeps raging*
Well done, @RepMaxMiller!

We are saddened to announce that Colonel Bruce Perry Crandall, one of the most courageous helicopter pilots in history, passed away on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at the age of 93.
Born on February 17, 1933 in Olympia, Washington, Crandall enlisted in the US Army in 1953. He earned his fixed-wing and helicopter pilot qualifications by 1954 and went on to serve nearly a quarter century in uniform.
His moment of legendary heroism came on November 14, 1965, during the Battle of Ia Drang in South Vietnam, the first major battle of the Vietnam War. Then-Major Crandall was leading a formation of 16 unarmed UH-1 Huey helicopters into Landing Zone X-Ray when enemy fire became so intense that the ground commander ordered all incoming helicopters to abort.
Crandall went back in anyway.
Along with his wingman, Captain Ed "Too Tall to Fly" Freeman, Crandall flew 22 unescorted missions through walls of small arms fire, mortar rounds, and rocket-propelled grenades. They evacuated more than 70 wounded soldiers and delivered the ammunition and supplies that kept the trapped Americans alive through the night.
The battle was later chronicled in the bestselling book "We Were Soldiers Once… and Young" by Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and Joseph Galloway, and portrayed in the 2002 film "We Were Soldiers" with actor Greg Kinnear playing Crandall.
He flew more than 900 combat missions during two tours in Vietnam. In 1968, his helicopter was shot down and he was severely injured, but he recovered and returned to service. He retired from the US Army in 1977.
On February 26, 2007, more than four decades after the Ia Drang battle, President George W. Bush presented Crandall with the Medal of Honor at the White House.
He is survived by his three sons and five grandchildren. His wife of 54 years, Arlene, passed away in 2010.
May Colonel Bruce "Old Snake" Crandall rest in peace.
Thank you for your service. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The World's First Recorded Case of Immediate Contact - Case of Colonel Henry Glenville Shaw (1896)🧐🤔
On November 25, 1896, in Lodi, California (USA), Colonel H. G. Shaw and his friend Camille Spooner were traveling in a late afternoon carriage on their way to Stockton.
During the ride, their horse suddenly got scared and stopped, refusing to move forward. Shortly after, the two men would have seen three tall and extremely thin figures nearby on the road.
According to the report, the entities had a humanoid appearance, with slender bodies, small and delicate hands, and a kind of penugem covering their skin instead of hair. Eyes were big, while mouth and ears were small. Witnesses described the appearance as strangely “beautiful” and unusual.
Each of the figures carried a bag-like object with a tube or mouthpiece, which carried to their mouths as if they were breathing. They also had glowing egg lights.
The beings seemed to communicate with each other through sounds described as a kind of monotonous and vibrating singing.
At one point, reports say that the beings tried to get close to the men as if they wanted to capture them, but they couldn't, possibly because of the weight of the victims.
Humanoids would later have illuminated a nearby bridge with their lights, revealing a cigar-shaped object floating above the water. After that, they returned to the object and entered through a lateral opening.
The vehicle would then have taken off and disappeared into the sky.
Colonel Shaw would have concluded that the beings could be of Martian origin.
The case is cited by Guinness World Records as the first alleged case of extra-terrestrial contact recorded.
From: Jenny Randies, Alien Contacts and Abductions (New York: Sterling, 1994).
Federal prosecutors just charged an NIH virologist with smuggling biological materials into the United States.
His name is Vincent Munster. He's not a minor scientist. He runs the Virus Ecology Section at one of the government's premier BSL-4 labs.
This is bigger than a customs charge. Thread 🧵
