Great quote from @shellenberger: “A gallon of jet fuel contains 34 kilowatt-hours of energy in a package weighing six pounds. A lithium-ion battery storing the same energy weighs 250 pounds. That density gap is why every military on earth runs on liquid hydrocarbons, why every container ship crossing the Pacific burns bunker fuel, why every combine harvester in Iowa runs on diesel, and why every 747 landing at Heathrow runs on kerosene. The fact that nobody wages war over solar panels is evidence of their limitations not superiority.” Bottom Line: The laws of physics and thermodynamics are laws, not mere suggestions.

RIP Augustus McCrae. It was quite a party.

In 2016, Josh Whitman took over as AD and boldly proclaimed: “We will win.” Fast forward to 2025…The Illini just won 9 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time in program history, while Bret Bielema became the first coach to win consecutive bowl games. We are winning.

The Sacrifices Made By The Declaration Signers… Happy July 4 to everyone here in America. Just a reminder of the price that was paid for our freedom. I honestly just did not know the great sacrifices that these men paid… Makes me love this country even more. ======================================= What happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence? This is the Price They Paid Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence? Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war. They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor. What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured. Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags. Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward. Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton. At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt. Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months. John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates. Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: “For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.” 🗽🇺🇸🦅

route change by LBJ. - Cover-up: Hoover, LBJ pushed lone-gunman story; CIA destroyed records.

This is the best summary of the JFK files I’ve been able to find. Long read but worth it…

- JFK assassination likely a conspiracy: LBJ, CIA, Mafia, Soviet-Cuban roles; Oswald a patsy. - New names: Salvatore Russo (Mafia) & Viktor Petrov (Soviet-Cuban) tied to funds & planning. - Evidence: Multiple shooters (grassy knoll), early CIA Oswald watch (1957),

@gemoscatelli Friendly reminder that EU corn imports are largely non-GMO and therefore inconsequential.

Ironically, 80 years ago, it took a special group of kids to help save the United States of America. It’s not the size of the #DOGE in the fight, it’s the size of fight in the #DOGE

@Kash_Patel 4 years ago a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, maybe you can hire the A-Team.

@zackyoungquist Does that mean we will finally get paid from products and services from 2023?! Maybe the USDA can just debit your funds $141,902.67 to cover your past dues? Let’s find each other soon Zack
