Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I would like to know how many members of Congress who would not be there had they (or parents) not acquired US citizenship in violation of the law.
1)
You see, to become a US citizen, one must first be a legal permanent resident of the USA for at least 5 year s (3 years if married to an Ameriican), and that must be preceded byu having a legitimate, US permanent resident visa issued them before they migrate to the USA.
2)
Those that come to the USA as students, those that enter the USA under temporary protection visas, as tourists, or as foreign workers on a work visa, and especially those that entered the USA on visas that were fraudulently issued, have no path to US citizenship.

Everyone thinks the age of oil is dead. They are wrong.

In the frozen wilds of Alberta, a $100B "Sands Sovereign" has quietly architected the most durable cash-flow machine in industrial history.

This is the "Empire Building" narrative of Canadian Natural Resources $CNQ. 🇨🇦🧵

While Silicon Valley chases "eyeballs," Canadian Natural Resources ($CNQ) is chasing the Cretaceous.

They own an area the size of Florida that contains the 4th largest oil reserve on Earth.

But they don't "drill." They harvest. 🚜💨

In 1989, Murray Edwards and Allan Markin took over a tiny firm with just 6 employees.

Edwards (the banker) and Markin (the engineer) saw what others missed:

In a world of fast-depleting wells, the person who owns the "Long Life" asset owns the future. 🧠🏰

A Lot Many Tweets Have been written here on RIVA RESORTS #Mandrem #Goa .

WATCH This Guy's Full 7 Minutes Video.

1) Very Wrong Decision To Make Sachin Naik A Partner. But when you arrive in #Goa and want to build a business, the easiest way is to pocket some Local Heavyweight. Image
2) Establishing a Business means doing a due-diligence with whom you are going to partner.
At First, When THIS GUY's Business got set-up due to Strings pulling of Sachin Naik of RIVA; He was Very Happy.

#Goa DREAM fulfilled. Dhandha-Paani here. Then He did not Complain?
3) Even a BLIND PERSON can tell that Entire RIVA RESORT Property at #Mandrem is ILLEGAL.

CM #Goa Pramod Sawant & Rohan Khaunte are not Blind though. It's not only about CRZ; but the Slope Cutting as well.

So, Before starting Business; This should have been looked into 1st.

Saturday was very hot in Sydney, over 40 degrees for much of the day.

And as the sun set, it was still hot.
Prices spiked to over $10,000/MWh, and stayed there for nearly an hour.

A short thread on what really happened, and what it means for the renewables transition. 1/ Image
Now it's worth noting that at 6:20pm, this spike was still forecast. But it wasn't forecast to endure for 10 price intervals. As it happened, the peak grid demand was slowly falling (middle column in post above), but not as fast as that available (right column) was. 2/ Image
In the middle of Sydney (Olympic Park) it was still over 40 degrees at 6:30pm. People wouldn't have been turning down their air conditioning much.

Later on that evening, around 8pm, the temperature would drop 12 degrees in an hour. Wind picked up. Still no clouds.

But at dusk it was still very hot. 3/Image

Shiva's form Krittivasheshvara as ' Cosmos of Kashi ' ...
The 18 lingas symbolises the eighteen branches of knowledge comprising 4 Vedas, 6 Vedāṅgas, and remaining disciplines. In this sense Kashi itself becomes a symbol of complete knowledge
🧵 Image
Shiva's vehicle "Bull", Nandi, as a cosmogonic frame of Kashi....
As Śiva’s vahana, Nandi governs the rhythm of time and oversees the continuous functioning of saṃsāra on behalf of his lord Image
Kāśī encompasses multiple sacred territories defined across different ritual and cosmological contexts. Among these 5 are the most prominent. All possess irregular spatial forms
In conceptual terms 4 inner sacred pilgrimage Image

I want to demonstrate Donald Trump's highly abnormal pathology, with one issue, that is being treated as a bit of a joke. However, as he is deadly serious about it, we should take it seriously. His obsession with getting a Nobel Peace Prize.
1/🧵
The first, and most important aspect of this obsession, is that Trump can't claim he is doing this for America. This is purely about Trump's vanity and ego. There would be no material net gain for America, if it happened.
2/
The second, and most important point, is that Trump is objectively unfit to even be considered for a Nobel Peace Prize. Trump has been threatening to annexe, or militarily invade Canada, Greenland, Mexico and South American countries from day one of his second term.

My mum still in hospital. I have reported on the terrible air quality and lack of respiratory protection but I was unprepared for what happened on tonight's visit.
For the 40th time, I visit the ward she's on. As I walk in, nurse says "you know your mum isn't here, right?"
1/🧵
Well of course I did not know this.
"They moved her in the night"
Where to?
"I'm not too sure - ask at the nursing station"
Why did they move her?
"I don't know"
Another nurse arrives "They moved her to W9"
Why?
"I don't know - ask W9"
Why did nobody inform me?
"I don't know"
2/
As her next of kin, I can't understand not being told this.
Anyway. I arrive in W9.
I'm looking for (mum's name).
"Are you sure she is on this ward"
As it happens, not really but I've been told she was moved here.
"Not on my section. Ask the nurse on Bay A"

Let's be clear. Donald Trump will indict the Fed Chair, kidnap foreign leaders and kill American citizens if it distracts you from asking WTF is in the Epstein files because HIS BASE doesn't like pedophiles. None of this is normal. But everything he does is from weakness RN.
He is dangerous in the same way that a cornered, rabid raccoon is dangerous. He is looking for points of weakness where he can escape. Stay focused on the reasons why the walls are closing in. Don't flinch when he froths at the mouth.
It is shameful that we have to talk about the President of the United States this way. But it is who he is. He is behaving exactly the way you would expect a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist who was granted immunity by John Roberts to behave. Know your enemy.

Attempting to criminalize the actions of an independent public servant, Fed Chair Jay Powell, for the sin of acting independently—in the public interest rather than the President's political interest—is an outrage. It's bad economics, bad politics, bad for the rule of law, bad for the public sector, bad for American credibility and bad for Americans.
The Department of Justice has become the Department of Recriminations, and it would be terrible for the Federal Reserve to become the Federal Subserve.

Congress didn't give Trump the power to run monetary policy, and it's up to Congress to ensure that he doesn't just steal it.
Don't doubt that Jay Powell is going to war.

I've never seen a central bank release an evening video so directly taking on a head of state. In this case, the medium is the message: Powell is taking his case to the people.

This week I wrote an 11 page summary of violence my 6-yr-old stepson witnessed. I provided this to his biological mother. The bio parents each gave their accounts to the therapist. My stepson, based on my testimony, provided by bio mom, got enrolled into DV-specific therapy.
It is such a strange, horrific experience. To document one's own abuse so extensively for another woman. In this case, my partner's ex-wife. The rewards can feel so small. But therapy is not small. I told the truth. To other adults. A child will not live in that darkness alone.
That's how I got separated from all of my things. I had a whole escape plan. But I was so scared for my stepkids. I made a calculation. I asked their bio mom, "Will you use your legal power to put them in therapy?" She said, "Yes." Then I told her, "Ok, I'll give you everything."
