Watched the entire speech and following Q&A. What would it take to coax him to run for President here?

Opinion | Trump’s Greenland Threats Will Boomerang on America

β€œAmericans who understand the strategic value of NATO to the United States β€” and there are many β€” should speak up now. They should remind their leaders that America’s strength has always been amplified, not constrained, by strong allies.”

I started banging this gong about 8+ years ago. Glad to see it’s still getting attention, but disappointing it’s still necessary.

How Did the C.I.A. Lose a Nuclear Device in the Himalayas? (Gift Article) A plutonium-packed generator disappeared on one of the world’s highest mountains in a covert mission that the U.S. will not talk about.

I agree that some movies are different and much better on a huge screen. The quickest example I can think of is Gravity in IMAX.

I agree we don’t know what it was for, and I’m not arguing semantics. POTUS said he had an MRI. Taking him at his word, that’s a specific machine. It all sounds like BS to me.

For normal people I agree. He probably asked for/demanded one, or his doctor(s) tried sucking up and said β€˜let’s do this’, or both. Don’t think cardiac MRI is mainstream. Coronary CTA, stress echo, exercise or nuclear stress all better modalities. 5y ago no one was doing C-MRI at my academic center

02.12.2025 01:01 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Actually, no. Those that can’t walk get a pharmacological stress test done with a radioactive tracer and nuclear imaging. MRI is not as good or sensitive a modality to pick up reduced flow. The graphic sounds like direct-to-consumer advertising.

Ahh, guess I was confused by the account name β€˜Highlights’. Don’t recall this much PxP last season. Is this different than the account that was on twitter/x? Observation re team performance was spot on tho.
