Those who want permanent Daylight Saving Time are free to wake themselves an hour early. Let the rest of us sleep better on permanent Standard Time!
ALT “Morning light and evening light are not interchangeable. Under permanent Daylight Saving Time, workers would start their days in darkness, out of sync with their body clocks, a mismatch linked to drowsy driving and workplace injuries. Adolescents would be hauled to school before their brains are ready to learn. We should lock on permanent Standard Time, that keeps schedules aligned with sun and biology.” —Susan Kohl Malone, Assistant Professor, New York University Rory Meyers College of Nursing https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/10/19/opinion/daylight-saving-time-biological-clocks/

This editorial began the public debate over #BlackConfederate soldiers. Unlike the short lived debate in 1863, this one got prominent Confederates involved and ended in legally authorized black soldiers.

You want more sunshine after work? Cool. Then start your workday earlier and end work earlier. Boom. More sunshine after work. No need to change clocks at all. Permanent standard time, and change YOUR schedule. Easy.

The bill is backward! Permanent DST means more darkness—darkness until 8:30am, 9am, 9:30am… And yes, it failed before because it cost children’s lives! Amend to permanent Standard Time! @AshleyMoodyFL

False dilemma invalidates poll.
Today’s #TheBigTake Poll: President Trump is pushing for permanent daylight saving time. However, Sen. Tom Cotton says his constituents don’t want their kids going to school in the dark. Where do you stand?

Senator Tom Cotton from Arkansas, who is a Republican made the right decision to block the sunshine protection Act bill. You might not realize that, but he is saving us all from the dreading 8:00 morning darkness, majority of Americans wake up at 6:30 or already up. Yeah, a 4:30 Sunset might not feel good but it's only temporarily when you put daylight saving time into the winter time you'll have 7:40 to 9:50 A.m. Sunrise majority of Americans are already up in darkness which is not good
When you're on standard time it's more like 6:40 to 8:50 If we fix our time zones to the ideal spot. It'll be more like 6:17 to 8:22 in the morning meaning we will have more Morning Light that we need It would be better for students better for humans for our for safety
What Trump did was wrong doxing senator Tom Cotton And that's sad. Trump is only focusing on his golf and business, not for the American people
It's time to tell our Congress people to tell them to stop pursuing the sunshine protection Act. It's time to try Standard Time

The “Sunshine” Act means darkness past 8am for 2–3 months, as late as 8:30am. 👉 Keep it as is, or better yet, ditch DST with permanent Standard Time!

Cotton is right, Trump is wrong.
Permanent DST is a mandate to wake an hour earlier than Standard Time, to start school/work in darkness all winter. It would put sunrise past 8am for 3+ months in most states, past 9am in 18 states.
Permanent Standard Time is the only safe clock!
Texted @TomCottonAR to see if he’d like to have a discussion about this on @BulwarkOnline. Me siding with Trump for once would make for some good pod!

Should I keep going?
When we're on Standard time when sunrise is at 4:30 a.m. It gets liked naturally without chasing our clocks. We can wake up naturally without an alarm. Feel happier, less depressed. Wake up when it's bright to feel good alert because we're waking up naturally not in the dark.
When we're on DST, we're actually waking up 1 hour earlier than we should be. We have to set our alarms to wake up in the dark. It's a lot worse in the winter time when the sun rises at 8:30 a.m. And we're waking up at 6:00 or 7:00. Because we have work we feel more tired, more groggy. It will increase strokes heart attacks, suicidal rates up more diabetes, more risk of cancer.
On March 13th next year. My sunrise is on 6:31 a.m. And I wake up at 7:00 that day everyday I'm waking up in daylight. The next day I still wake up at 7:00 on March 14th we changed our clocks. Now my sunrise is at 7:30 a.m. So I'm waking up 1 hour earlier than why I'm used.
It's not good for our health to have later sunrises and later sunsets because we will be out of sync with the Sun our body clocks

President Trump says Professional Golfers’ Association “needs” permanent Daylight Saving Time for “when they just plain run out of sunlight”. 🚨 TRUTH is it would darken mornings, deprive sleep, increase accidents, lower productivity. 👉 Permanent Standard Time is needed instead!
ALT “Truth” post by President Donald Trump, the text of which is too long for the character limit of alt text. Here is how it begins: Republicans in the Senate have to get moving on what I call the “No More Changing of Clocks Act,” officially known as The Sunshine Protection Act, a ridiculous Clock changing process that takes place twice a year, costs our Country a fortune, is bad for Crime, stress on people, Sports, and just about everything else you can imagine. Even the highly respected PGA Commissioner, Brian Rolapp, needs it for the completion of Golf Tournaments in the Winter, when they just plain run out of sunlight. People don’t want to go around changing their Clocks anymore and, besides, far and away, most people like having an hour of extra sunlight in the evening, rather than in the morning. The House has passed this Bill, 308-117, on July 14, 2026, with Great Bipartisan support. Both Democrats and Republicans want it to happen. It’s now up to the U.S. Senate where it would be…

Resolved That the course of the enemy in appropriating our slaves who happen to fall into their hands to purposes of war, seems to justify a change of policy on our part; and whilst owners of slaves under the circumstances should freely yield them to their country, we recommend to our authorities, under proper regulations, to appropriate such part of them to the public service as may be required. And lastly, we deem it not inappropriate to declare our firm and unalterable purpose, as we believe it to be, that of our fellow - citizens, to maintain our right and to uphold the rights and sovereignty of self-government, to establish our independence, States, or to perish in the attempt.

No Federalism. No Constitution. Calling September 17 "Constitution Day" is one of the great misnomers in modern America. The document that was signed on the 17th had no life until the State ratifying conventions. Get "The Essential Originalist Papers" for the REAL Constitution.

#Onthisday (3/30/1865) I wrote to Gov Smith of VA that I was happy that he was seeking emancipation of slavery in his state. This letter proves that not only were we not fighting for slavery but that I supported emancipation during the war.

1. A state could end slavery in the CSA—VA moved to do so in 1865
2. The author of VA’s secession ordinance called to end slavery in 1832.
3. The cornerstone speech isn’t complicated—it is just misquoted by those who never read it
The fake history accounts want clicks.

Justified is one of the best televisions shows of the 2010s, and the finale is worth watching multiple times. "We dug coal together." That said, how would Goggins, then, defend his inclusion in "Django Unchained," one of the worst films for "selling out" Southern culture?

Madison Hemings’s “testimony” is of little value and is weak evidence. Real historians rejected it for good reason.
Faux historians care about political outcomes.
The Salon piece and its defenders continue a dishonest campaign by treating the Jefferson-Hemings story as settled fact when they know better. As a factual matter, the 1998 DNA evidence never proved that Thomas Jefferson fathered any of Sally Hemings’s children. It showed only that a male carrying the Jefferson Y-chromosome fathered Eston Hemings. No DNA testing was ever conducted on the other children, and the father of Eston could just as easily have been one of the roughly two dozen other Jefferson males then living in Virginia—most plausibly Jefferson’s brother Randolph or one of Randolph’s sons. The Scholars Commission report makes this limitation crystal clear, yet activists keep writing as if the science singled out the president himself.
To prop up that inconclusive DNA result, proponents lean heavily on Madison Hemings’s 1873 “testimony.” That account contains multiple factual inaccuracies, was produced decades after the events under partisan newspaper circumstances, and was long dismissed or heavily discounted by serious scholars. It gained new currency only after the DNA study appeared and something more was needed to stretch an indeterminate genetic match into a sweeping historical narrative. The Scholars Commission examined these materials and found the supporting historical arguments unpersuasive and often simply erroneous. Calling those who point out these elementary facts “deniers” is a deliberate rhetorical smear. It tries to equate generations of careful historians and the 12-to-1 majority of the Scholars Commission with conspiracy theorists.
The label is meant to shut down debate rather than engage the evidence. When distinguished scholars conclude that the allegation is by no means proven and that it is very unlikely Jefferson fathered any of the children, dismissing them as “deniers” is an admission that the case cannot stand on its merits. The activists need the Jefferson-as-father myth because it supplies a powerful story that advances a particular agenda. Blacks have always been part of American history; no one needs a fabricated presidential liaison to establish that truth. Yet the preference for a dramatic narrative over careful evidence reveals the same old pattern: the ends justify the means. We cannot tolerate a thought process that subordinates historical truth to political utility.
