God doesn’t need a ring light – “As the Vatican bets on social media stars to revive the Church, religion risks becoming a brand — all style, no sacrifice. We don’t need spiritual influencers. We need people who actually believe.” – Collapse Life

AI IS SUPER FUCKED UP! – “A rage against the machine which is consuming intelligence and robbing people of the ability to think for themselves. I would like to point out that neither my subscriber nor his imaginary friend Grok have ever set eyes on me in real life, but between them they have formed an opinion which is now logged on ‘the cloud’ (wherever that is) and presumably is recoverable for examination by whomsoever-gives-a-shit forever into the future!” – Frances Leader  – IF NOTHING ELSE, READ THIS ONE. A MUST READ FROM FRANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Warp Speed, Meet Full Stop – “Rumor has it Covid vaccines are about to be killaried. Not a single legacy media outlet has touched the story, of course. And there’s always the chance the whole thing turns out to be another empty dollar-store piñata—all colorful promise, no candy.” – Jenna McCarthy

Why are MANY more Americans becoming disabled? – ““Prominent data analyst Edward Dowd reports that since February 2021, an additional 5.89 million Americans have answered ‘yes’ to the Bureau of Labor Statistics household survey question on disability.” [The first RNA COVID vaccines were available several months earlier, in mid-December 2020.] “That’s a 19.6% increase in reported disabilities over just 4.5 years” – Jon Rappoport

Global warming zealots keep the crusade going strong – “And of course the solution is not to eat meat and to give up the fuel that keeps our lives going.” – Jack Hellner

Another Day, Another Jab Tragedy – “The democide is real, but the covid psyops was so brilliantly constructed that the consequences of mass inoculation are cleverly obscured and only dimly perceived. After all, people get sick and die all the time, right? Right, except there seems to be so much more of it all around me, and I for one am frankly sick to see it.” – New Zealand Doc

Offshore Wind’s Epic Fail – “Feds Pull Plug on Revolution Wind Amid Security Fears. The bottom line Revolution Wind isn’t revolution… it’s real steel, scarred seabeds, and a subsidy-sucking machine that fails on reliability and habitat. This pause isn’t a glitch; it’s a wake-up call to scrap the ‘build first, regret later’ insanity.” – Dr. Matthew Wielicki

Burning the Flag or Torching the Constitution: Only One Destroys Freedom – “Cancel culture—political correctness amped up on steroids, the self-righteousness of a narcissistic age, and a mass-marketed pseudo-morality that is little more than fascism disguised as tolerance—has shifted us into an Age of Intolerance. Nothing illustrates this more clearly than President Trump’s latest executive order calling for criminal charges for anyone who burns the American flag—a symbolic act long upheld by the Supreme Court as protected political expression. This push is not about patriotism—it is political theater. For an administration under fire—from the Epstein cover-up to tanking approval ratings and mounting constitutional crises—flag burning serves as symbolic outrage staged as political cover, a culture-war diversion to distract from more serious abuses of power.” – John & Nisha Whitehead

Trump Flag-Burning Ban: Unconstitutional, Un-American, and Trifling – “If you have to explain to a right-winger who’s been complaining about leftist censorship for the last five years why flag-burning is protected speech, understand this: They never believed in free speech in the first place. (Ben on X )” – Ben Bartee  – BURNING THE FLAG IS WRONG IN MY OPINION, BUT BEN’S POINT IS VALID!!!

Speech Or Silence: Trump’s Flag Crackdown Misses the Mark – “Burning the Flag Is Wrong. Banning It Is Worse.” – Peter Nayland Kust

Trump Transforms the World – “He’s on top of the world now and changing everything we thought we knew about how things work. Of course, Trumpworld is sinking rapidly into recession at the same time prices are rising more quickly under the new Trump Tariffs. So, before getting into Trump’s new ways of wielding global power, let’s talk briefly about the “R” word because recession was forming ahead of Trump, but his economic changes assure it will be a major part of the present transition with his own insignia clearly imprinted in the wax. Meanwhile, the trade wars and TACO trades never end with Trump. Today, he is threatening to raise China’s tariffs higher than he’s ever threatened before, having recently claimed a deal had been struck. He now swings around and threatens to raise tariffs to 200% if China doesn’t sell us the rare-earth materials we need. Not content with the prospects for sometime developing Gaza into the Monaco or Riviera of the Middle East for high rollers, Trump has also announced several times his intentions of developing the United States’ national parks into beautiful resorts with golf courses, etc. … as a private land developer.” – David Haggith

Tribal war – “Failure of imagination and threat misdiagnosis. in most cultures, especially low trust cultures, tribe and family structure are always paramount. The purpose of government is not to protect rights or individuals; it’s to codify which tribe gets to plunder and dominate the other tribes. This will be done with ostentatious and unapologetic violence because dominant tribes want to be seen doing it and see it as nothing to apologize for. In such a worldview, it’s how you impose order. These groups do not want to be like you and adopt your ways. They see them as weak and cowardly and as an invitation to take what they want. Meet is Qalinle Ibrahim Dirie, a 42 year old Somali immigrant who has been in the US for 18 years. In july of 2024, he was charged with raping a 12 year old Minneapolis girl who he abducted from her backyard. This is obviously an outlandish tragedy and outrage, Quite literally one of the worst things that can happen. Qalinle and his family do not seem to care.” – El Gato Malo

Oklahoma Weeds Out Extremist Teachers With “America-First” Test – “Certain teachers fleeing far-left states such as New York and California — bastions of woke indoctrination masquerading as “public education” — may not be welcome in Oklahoma classrooms. Under a new policy rolling out this month, left-wing extremists who hate America and want to weaponize children at taxpayer expense need not apply. Critics are fuming. But supporters say it is an important step as government schools — especially in liberal states — push increasingly dangerous and unhinged ideologies. Defending Oklahoma’s standards that require true American history and civics as well as Bible lessons, Walters has been one of the most vocal education officials to push back on wokeness.” – Alex Newman

Something BIG Is Happening in Venezuela – “With all things happening and events speeding up these last few days, every Venezuelan has the sense that something is going to happen anytime. The US Secretary of State has sent warships toward the area, and Maduro has in turn sent 15,000 troops to the border. How do I know? Easy: No classes, no kids on the streets, means no harm for them, low possibilities of civilian casualties, and no possibility of the gang using that for a fake narrative. stronger rhetoric from both sides 3 warships in the Caribbean and 3 more on the way…? The gang weaponized the power grid, among other basic needs, such as FOOD, and any intervention to restore democracy in the country will imply a communications and power grid blackout, with unforeseen consequences, and unpredictable duration.” – a Concerned Venezuelan

Our Mafioso Economy – “We all know the drill: give the Godfather respect and his cut, and you can return to your extractive monopoly confident that nobody is going to interrupt your grift. Welcome to America’s Mafioso Economy, where monopolies are free to extract vast fortunes via addiction (pharmaceuticals, social media, gaming, pornography, gambling, entertainment, etc.), predatory pricing (oops, I mean dynamic pricing), shoddy goods and services, shakedowns, and of course, extortion: offers you can’t refuse. For example, that software you could buy and use for years until the Mafioso Monopoly obsoleted it? Now you have to rent it.” – Charles Hugh Smith

This Is How Your Compost Could Kill You – “Compost is usually thought of as safe, natural, and even healthy for your garden. But beneath the surface of that pile, there can be hidden dangers you might never expect. There’s something no one tells you when they gush about compost’s magic: under the wrong conditions, that innocent pile of scraps can quietly become a breeding ground for illness, toxins, and death. I’ve seen seasoned gardeners laid flat because they thought a little “natural” rot was harmless. And they never saw it coming.” – Olivia Brooks  – VERY GOOD ARTICLE!!!!
