The red tank thing at the end puffs in a bunch of air to seat the tire while he is pumping it up with the regular air hose?

Bead seater. We have one from doing tractor tires. You can make one with an old propane tank as long as you don't push your luck on pressure, that or from an old rig air brake tank. Let me tell you it is a huge ****ing help with any large tires especially if they won't pop up onto bead.

So to be clear, the line just strips off a spinning real? I wonder what kind of distance he got with it.

I get around 300yds with mine. Its a commercial one, it cost a few hundred bucks. It gets it way out past the bar. Its awesome for shark fishing when its rough. Saves the paddle out. Leaves more time for grillin and beer.

Heres a quick google video of a homemade job.

Yeah rod and reel in a stand and it just strips off, I assume he had to put drag on once it was near the end to stop it from back lashing.

I suggested the auquanet route, I can’t remember why he said no to it.

Identity of bikini-clad ‘hot’ MAGA nurse turns out to be a shocker​

The all-American, flag-draped, bikini-clad social media siren racking up clicks from red-blooded patriots wasn’t real. Not even close.

According to a jaw-dropping report by Wired, the viral MAGA influencer “Emily Hart” — a gun-toting, Coors Light–sipping, ice-fishing fantasy who built a following in the millions — was actually the brainchild of a 22-year-old medical student in India gaming the system for cash.

The mastermind, identified only as “Sam,” wasn’t exactly hiding his playbook. Strapped for cash and eyeing a move to the United States, he turned to Google’s AI tools for advice on how to make money online. The algorithm reportedly suggested targeting a conservative audience, noting their loyalty and spending power.


So he did what any enterprising opportunist in the digital Wild West might do: he built a persona from scratch.

Out came “Emily Hart” — a fictional nurse with Hollywood looks and a feed full of red-meat slogans designed to hit every cultural pressure point. Guns? Check. Faith? Check. Border security? You bet.

One viral post showed “Hart” firing a rifle alongside the caption:
“If you want a reason to unfollow: Christ is king, abortion is murder, and all illegals must be deported.”

Another jab read:
“POV: You were assigned intelligent at birth, but you identify as liberal.”

And the formula worked — fast.


“Every day I’d write something pro-Christian, pro-Second Amendment, pro-life, anti-abortion, anti-woke, and anti-immigration,” Sam admitted. Within a month, the account had 10,000 followers. Soon after, posts were racking up millions of views.

Then came the cash grab. The fake influencer pivoted to selling merchandise and pushing paid content on Fanvue, a platform that openly allows AI-generated material. Subscribers paid for exclusive access — including increasingly explicit images that, once again, didn’t depict a real person.

Sam didn’t even try to oversell the effort involved.

“I was spending maybe 30 to 50 minutes of my day, and I was making good money for a medical student,” he said.
“I was basically doing nothing… And it was just flooded with money.” That’s not hustle — that’s a symptom of a broken online ecosystem where authenticity takes a backseat to algorithms and outrage.

And here’s where the story takes a nastier turn. Despite profiting off his audience, Sam had nothing but contempt for them.

“The MAGA crowd is made up of dumb people — like, super-dumb people. And they fall for it,” he said.

Classy.

Of course, the irony is thick enough to cut with a knife. The same coastal elites who sneer at conservatives for being “duped” are the first to defend the tech platforms enabling this kind of digital fraud in the first place.

Experts warn this is just the beginning. AI is making fake profiles more convincing and easier to scale — meaning today’s bikini influencer could be tomorrow’s political operative.

This isn’t just about one viral account or one opportunistic student. It’s about a system that rewards deception, amplifies outrage, and leaves everyday users — left, right, or otherwise — sorting truth from fiction in a hall of mirrors.

The “Emily Hart” account has since been shut down for fraudulent activity, and its creator claims he’s moving on to focus on medical school. “I don’t feel like I was scamming people,” he insisted.

Georgia Democratic Rep. David Scott died at the age of 80 on Tuesday night, shortly after filing paperwork to seek a 13th term in office.

The Democratic representative, who served in the Georgia General Assembly before becoming a House member, unexpectedly died after 50 years in elected office and became the fifth incumbent lawmaker in the lower chamber to die since 2025, according to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution (AJC) and other outlets. His death was confirmed by his office to the AJC on Wednesday.

“Congressman Scott’s passing is deeply sad,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told reporters, according to NBC News. “David Scott was a trailblazer who served the district that he represented admirably, rose up from humble beginnings to become the first African American ever to chair the House [Agriculture] Committee. He cared about the people that he represented. He was fiercely committed to getting things done for the people of the great state of Georgia, and he’ll be deeply missed.”


Scott was facing a strong primary field for Georgia’s 13th congressional district following concerns about his health and voting record, CBS News reported in November 2025.

(WTF getting ready to run for a "13" term )

I dont know how to fix it, but that the system allows people to live an entire life as a politician must change. That and some sort of age limit or something to keep the excessively old but connected in office until they die. We have way too many enfeebled old farts in congress and other elected positions.

Just get rid of elections. If you want to be in office throw your name in the hat. we pull one at random and congrats, you get 1 term and then go back home.

Can't possibly be any worse.

I can get behind that. Gonna have to be some other changes, like no more 10,000 page bills. Maybe require bills to be one topic and fit on one page.

It is the bureaucracy behind the electee that needs to be resolved as well.

Ban lawyers from being elected officials.

If lawyers write bills they are going to write them in a way that it needs a lawyer to interpret it - which both keeps them and their fellows employed when people need it explained, but it also lets them create grey area that they can use to ignore it on their or their clients behalf or to later change interpretations by changing the meaning through court cases.

A quick google AI - 30-40% of the current elected officials have a law degree. General population is less than 1% has a law degree.

Laws should be understandable by the common, literate at a HS level citizen. The law should state the intent of the law and not be so specific or vague it can be twisted to ignore its original meaning
