The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.

Shane Gillis goading thousands of women into tagging him in their half-naked selfies is elite tier.

NOBODY tells Americans this part of the story.
March 11, 2011.
A black, 30-foot wall of ocean swallowed Northeast Japan.
Our government froze. The Pentagon had no orders.
Communications were dead.
You know what Captain Thom Burke and Rear Admiral Robert Girrier did on the USS Ronald Reagan?
They didn't wait for the White House.
They didn't wait for paperwork.
They looked at the TV screen, saw their friend drowning, and committed the ultimate military sin:
UNAUTHORIZED ADVANCE.
“We’re going. NOW.”
They turned the massive nuclear carrier full throttle straight into the disaster zone.
Then came the hydrogen explosions at Fukushima.
Radiation plumes drifted across the Pacific.
Every foreign embassy told their citizens: RUN.
The US Embassy ordered an evacuation zone: STAY 50 MILES AWAY.
Did the Ronald Reagan turn around?
DID YOUR SAILORS RUN?
NOT. ONE. INCH.
Nineteen-year-old kids from Texas and Ohio stood on a freezing flight deck, radiation detectors in hand, launching helicopters into blizzards.
They hovered over submerged rooftops, pulling shivering mothers and babies out of the black water.
When Japanese refugees were brought aboard shivering in shock, your sailors gave up their own warm bunks and slept on the cold steel floor.
While the rest of the world ran away from Japan,
AMERICA CHARGED STRAIGHT INTO THE FIRE.
You didn't do it for a treaty.
You didn't do it for politicians.
You saw your friend bleeding, and you kicked the doors down to save us.
Happy 250th, America.
Japan will remember your boys forever. 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

SORRY BUT I’M DONE PRETENDING THIS IS JUST HOW PRICING WORKS NOW.
A $20 meal becomes $29 after fees and tip. A $200 hotel room becomes $280 after parking and resort charges. A $99 flight becomes $200 after bags and seat selection. A $29,000 car becomes $34,000 after dealer fees and packages.
And every company has a different explanation for why the extra money doesn't count as part of the price.
Delivery fee. Service fee. Convenience fee. Processing fee. Facility fee. Protection fee.
I DON’T WANT TO KNOW WHY THERE ARE 11 FEES. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT COSTS.
If the real price is $280, SAY $280.
What else needs to be said?
If this person has an opinion, the opposite is probably the correct one. Can you imagine bragging about this??

If a patient showed up in Mitch McConnell’s current condition, most doctors and lawyers would not let him control his own healthcare or his own estate. So why does he still get a say in ours?

This insane: California and China both started their High Speed Rail projects in 2008
- California hasn’t completed a single track
- China completed over 31,000 miles of track during the same time
Here’s where it gets really crazy, I did the math on how much California is spending compared to China
This is the cost per mile breakdown:
- China’s rail coeds about $30 million per mile
- California official Phase 1 spending is $255 million per mile
Read that again.
Gavin Newsom needs to go to prison, this is the biggest money laundering project in California history

"McConnell would never be allowed to drive a car, babysit young children, or file his own taxes. Why, then, should a cognitively incapacitated 82-year-old retain one of the most important positions of power within the national government," per PublicNotice

I grew up Muslim. Left at 19.
On 9/11 I was a kid in a Muslim country. I asked my mom why bin Laden attacked America. Her answer was heartless.
I witnessed a sentiment of pride and celebration in the Muslim society.
Islam did 9/11 then justified it to kids like me. Watch.
