This is a quarter-turn valve, and it is nearly two thousand years old. It was buried at Pompeii in AD 79 and the bronze under the volcanic crust still shows how it worked. Inside the body sits a tapered plug with a hole bored through it. Line the hole up with the pipe and water flows. Turn it ninety degrees and the hole sits across the flow and stops it. Turn it part way and you throttle it. The tap in a Pompeii display case and the tap in a modern hardware shop work on the same principle. The part that impresses me is not the design but the consistency. Analyses of Roman water valves report an alloy of roughly 73 percent copper, 18 percent lead and 9 percent tin, holding steady across the empire, and Vitruvius lists ten standard sizes of lead pipe named for their circumference. Somebody wrote the specification and everyone followed it. Where else do you see that kind of standardization before the modern era?

✍️ Gov. Evers used the partial veto to turn a two-year tax increase into one lasting more than 400 years. Question 1 would place new limits on how future governors can use that veto power over taxes and fees. Vote YES this November!

4,000 year old European Mummies in China 🇨🇳 Early mummies (dating from around 2,135 to 1,623 BCE) from China had high levels of Ancient North Eurasian ancestry. Many of them have their hair physically intact, ranging in color from blonde to red to brown which was generally long, curly & braided. They were also very tall to neighboring populations at the time, some of these individuals would likely have seemed like “giants” many ranging around 6 feet + tall. One man was 6’6 feet tall. Their costumes & textiles, indicate a common origin with European neolithic clothing techniques or a common low-level textile technology. The Princess of Xiaohe also known as the Little River Princess, is a naturally mummified woman of the Bronze Age & one of the Tarim mummies. She is known as the most beautiful mummy in the world. She had European features, high fair skin, high set nose & long red hair. A Chinese scientist clandestinely sent off DNA to an Italian geneticist to performed tests to conform ancestry. Since then, China has prohibited foreign scientists from conducting research on the mummies. What are they trying to hide? It is believed that there was an Ancient North Eurasian (ANE) European population that lived in the region long-term since the Ice Age.

WALZ GAVE ILLEGALS DRIVER’S LICENSES — NOW THEY CAN VOTE WITH THEM. He signed “Driver’s Licenses for All.” Illegal aliens get free government-issued photo IDs. Now Minnesota election officials confirm those licenses let them vote in state elections. They told us this can’t happen. A license is an ID. An ID gets you a ballot. The law he signed is the path. The confirmation is on the record. This is what open borders and soft rules look like. Minnesota deserves better. Hold them accountable. Vote.

A conservative journalist was supposed to speak at a university in Bilbao, Spain tonight. So naturally, hundreds of masked far-left extremists had to start a riot to silence freedom of speech. The West is in trouble

Pete Hegseth, has stated that every US military base in the US will have to be able to provide its own power off grid from public works if there is a power failure . And should be able to run on its own for 90 days. Clearly disaster planning.
