Trump is saying, “We have more people praying. The churches are coming back. I don’t know if you’ve been reading that story but religion is coming back to America! Some people say, why would you mention that? To me, that’s a big deal.” It’s met with a delayed clap from people who know him up...

Back in 2020, Trump was saying the churches should packed for Easter. My cousin couldn't go. She died of Covid-19 that day. Only 55 years old.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum announced foreigners will begin paying TRIPLE the price of Americans for National Park admission beginning in 2026

New charge for foreign visitors will be $250 and $80 for US Citizens.

These actually are the prices for annual passes. The $250 amount means that only non-citizens who plan to visit a bunch of national parks will buy a pass; otherwise, it would be cheaper to buy daily/weekly passes for individual parks (e.g., a 7-day pass to Yellowstone is $35).

Uh... yes he is. Telomeres don't lengthen when you go to space and shrink when you return.

Oddly enough, they do. We normally think of telomeres (specialized proteins at the ends of linear chromosomes) "shrinking" by attrition as cells reproduce, but microgravity seems to have a stretching effect (not more, but individually longer). Upon return to normal gravity, telomeres "snap back," but overshoot just a bit. One doesn't lose telomeres as one would during mitosis, but the physical length (when unwound and laid flat) is indeed shorter than before a stay in low gravity.

One of those too-strange-to-be-true things that is nevertheless true. No one knows if this changes the rate of apoptosis or the number of time a cell can reproduce.

That's genuinely fascinating, but I don't see what it has to do with the things Kelly is doing that Kennedy doesn't like. It's not like having a worm in your brain, or being a long time heroin addict, or anything like that.

I agree that it's fascinating but it also has nothing to do with cell aging or apoptosis.
 
From the Ukraine thread

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump

US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Witkof advised Russia how to pitch their plan to Trump.
 
In June of last year, Superintendent Ryan Walters and the Oklahoma State Department of Education issued a mandate that Bibles should be placed in all OK 5th - 12th grade classrooms and Bible-based curriculum material used. A lawsuit was filed and on Monday, the OK State Supreme Court dismissed the lawsuit:

Saying the issue is now moot, Oklahoma’s highest court dismissed a lawsuit challenging a requirement that public schools keep Bibles in classrooms and teach from them.

In a 6-2 decision, the Oklahoma Supreme Court wrote Monday that newly appointed state Superintendent Lindel Fields and the six new members of the Oklahoma State Board of Education said they planned to nullify a 2024 mandate requiring Bible usage in schools. The new education leaders also told the justices that they were not pursuing other mandates issued by former state Superintendent Ryan Walters that would use taxpayer money to purchase classroom Bibles or “biblically-based character education materials.”

With his reference to Sloth (from the Goonies), I'd just assumed he was suggesting that Kelly now has developed some sort of chromosomal abnormalities.
Go to space and back a few times = telomeres affected = chromosomes affected = face melting.
You'd think that someone like Microwave Mel Gibson who has their own medical issues would be a little less cavalier about making fun of this sort of thing.

You actually have to pay to just enter a National Park?

I assumed it was to visit particular preserved buildings rather than whole areas of wilderness or forest.

The despicable video urging @DeptofWar troops to “refuse illegal orders” may seem harmless to civilians — but it carries a different weight inside the military.

This was a politically-motivated influence operation:

☑️ It never named a specific “illegal order.”
☑️ It created ambiguity rather than clarity.
☑️ It used carefully scripted, legal-sounding language.
☑️ It subtly reframed military obedience around partisan distrust instead of established legal processes.

In the military, vague rhetoric and ambiguity undermines trust, creates hesitation in the chain of command, and erodes cohesion.

The military already has clear procedures for handling unlawful orders. It does not need political actors injecting doubt into an already clear chain of command.

As veterans of various sorts, the Seditious Six knew exactly what they were doing — sowing doubt through a politically-motivated influence operation. The @DeptofWar won’t fall for it or stand for it.
