For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk and we learned to listen. Speech has allowed the communication of ideas, enabling human beings to work together to build the impossible. Mankind's greatest achievements have come about by talking, and its greatest failures by not talking. It doesn't have to be like this. Our greatest hopes could become reality in the future. With the technology at our disposal, the possibilities are unbounded. All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.
-- Stephen Hawking (1942 - 2018)
🚨THREAD: Tucker Carlson on Duplicated Ballots, Falsified Tally Sheets, and Mail-In Ballot Fraud in Fulton County, Georgia
“It now appears there actually was meaningful voter fraud in Fulton County, Georgia, last November (2020). That is not a conspiracy theory. It’s true.
Surveillance footage obtained by VoterGA shows large numbers of ballots being scanned multiple times. Pay attention to the women wearing yellow at the desk. According to VoterGA, she slides ballots into a scanning machine, removes the ballots, and then reinserts the same ballots.
This happens multiple times. The question is, how many times were these ballots counted? Was each vote counted more than once? Fulton County won't answer that question.
Now, one way to know that answer would be to check what are called audit tally sheets. Tellingly, for months after the 2020 election, Fulton County failed to provide more than 100,000 of those tally sheets, including 50,000 of them from mail-in ballots.
When VoterGA finally forced Fulton County to turn over the tally sheets, the conclusion was stunning. Here's what the audit found. Seven falsified audit tally sheets containing fabricated vote totals... For example, a batch containing 59 actual ballot images for Joe Biden and 42 for Donald Trump was reported as 100 for Biden and 0 for Trump.
The seven batches of ballot images with 554 votes for Joe Biden, 140 votes for Donald Trump, and 11 votes for Jo Jorgenson had tally sheets in the audit falsified to show 850 votes for Biden, 0 votes for Trump, and 0 votes for Jorgenson.
Wait, did you just follow that?
How is that not flat-out criminal fraud?"
Simone Segouin, mostly known by her codename Nicole Minet, was only 18 years old when the Germans invaded. Her first act of rebellion was to steal a bicycle from a German military administration and slice the tires of all the other bikes and motorcycles so they couldn't pursue her. She found a pocket of the Resistance and joined the fight, using the stolen bike to deliver messages between Resistance groups.
She was an extremely fast learner and quickly became an expert at tactics and explosives. She led teams of Resistance fighters to capture German troops, set traps, and sabotage German equipment. As the war dragged on, her deeds escalated to derailing German trains, blocking roads, blowing up bridges, and helping to create a German-free path to aid the Allied forces in retaking France from the inside. Remarkably, she was never caught.
Segouin was present at the liberation of Chartres on August 23, 1944, and then the liberation of Paris two days later. She was promoted to lieutenant and awarded several medals, including the Croix de Guerre. After the war, she studied medicine and became a pediatric nurse. She passed away in February 2023 at the age of 97.
Are the Republicans who voted to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy "traitors?"
Newt Gingrich, on Fox News says:
"96% of Republicans voted for McCarthy. 4% voted against him. From my position as a longtime republican activist, they are traitors. All eight of them should, in fact, be primaried. They should all be driven out of public life. What they did was go to the other team to cause utter chaos."
Is he right, or is he just part of the problem.

1993: Senator Joe Biden talks about urban crime and the people responsible for it
Biden warns about a group that is "born out-of-wedlock, without parents, without any conscience developing"
He adds that he doesn’t care about the root causes. What matters is that they are "away from my mother, your husband, our families."
Listen to the whole speech. Mind-blowing on so many levels.
DOUBLE STANDARD: The same CBS New York(@CBSNewYork) station showed Daniel Penny's face after he was charged with choking a homeless man to death on a Manhattan subway in the summer.
But when Brian Dowling was arrested today, that same CBS New York station blurred the face of the 18-year-old man charged in the random stabbing death of a social justice activist. I don't get it? #Journalism #MediaBias #News #Crime @CBSNews
JUST IN: Matt Gaetz said he'll change the motion to vacate threshold IF Congress enacts Rep Ro Khanna reform plan that:

Khanna mentioned Unusual Whales in the plan!
The Six Grandfathers, before it was carved up to create Mount Rushmore.
In the Treaty of 1868, the U.S. government promised the Lakota Sioux tribe all of South Dakota, west of the Missouri River.
This included the Black Hills, which are considered sacred lands.
However, once gold was discovered in the area in the 1870s, white settlers began migrating to the area. The U.S. government then broke the treaty and reclaimed the Black Hills.
In 1890, tensions reached a boiling point between the white miners and the Lakota Sioux people, which led to the Wounded Knee Massacre.
Mount Rushmore was completed a half-century later in 1941.
On this day in 1813, the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh is killed by U.S. troops at the Battle of Moraviantown near Chatham, Upper Canada. With him dies the dream of an independent Indigenous nationstate.

According to the National Park Service (https://t.co/yJ4tpZhhBl), the four U.S. presidents (George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln) that make up Mount Rushmore "tell the story of the birth, growth, development, and preservation of this country. From the history of the first inhabitants to the diversity of America today, Mount Rushmore brings visitors face to face with the rich heritage we all share."
The idea for Mount Rushmore was concocted in the 1920s by a local historian and a sculptor to drive tourism into the area.
