Yet another glorious journalistic episode for @TheIntercept, which should have already died a mercy death. It's long overdue.

They urged whistleblowers to give them information through their Signal channel, repeatedly publishing it. It somehow got hacked (!) and they had no idea until months later because they never check it (because they do very little reporting).

Multiple people communicated with the unknown hacker in command of their Signal channel, thinking they were talking to the news outlet. Once Intercept management discovered this breach (months later), they -- as usual -- refused accountability and explained nothing publicly other than posting an innocuous message that their Signal name changed.

Who knows how many people were endangered and compromised by this, or what the intentions were of the person able to successfully impersonate them due to The Intercept's long-standing managerial recklessness and ongoing contempt for the journalistic duty to protect sources.

The CIA BURIED a Soviet study in the 1950s showing anti-parasitics SUPPRESS CANCER GROWTH—and kept it CLASSIFIED for over 60 YEARS.

An entire generation of cancer research was DERAILED for over HALF A CENTURY, and millions of cancer victims have paid the price.

Joe Rogan watches in total disbelief as a video exposes America’s “nonprofit” hospitals quietly banking $45 BILLION in profit every single year.

ROGAN: “Motherf*ckers.”

One CEO at NYU Langone paid himself $15,300,000 a year.

Other CEOs paid themselves $4,500,000 while nurses made about $70,000 a year.

P. DAVIS JONES: “A congressman recently described some nonprofit hospitals as ‘hedge funds with hospital beds,’ and I was like, ‘I bet they are.’”

“The total revenues of nonprofit hospitals in America in 2023 was $1.3 trillion. Nonprofit hospitals were making $45 billion worth of profit.”

“A study that looked at almost 1,500 nonprofit hospitals found that 86% of them provided LITTLE TO NO charity.”

“It goes to executives, these CEOs getting paid about $4.5 million a year. Meanwhile, their nurses make about 70K.”

“Here’s a guy, Robert [Grossman], at a hospital in New York who paid himself $15.3 million a year. Nonprofit hospital.”

Undoubted PROOF (KIDS ACT) was PAID for by Over 120 major tech, telecom, and media companies 🚨🚨🚨file lobbying occurred on a single bill 2024-2025⚠️⚠️⚠️

⚠️they are not reading it. They are negotiating the text. Lobbying disclosures on a bill mean those companies submitted markups, drafted amendments, met with committee staff, and traded provisions behind closed doors. They bought their way into the drafting room.🚨🚨🚨🚨

This is textbook regulatory capture.🚨🚨

⚠️⚠️It looks like companies funding the bill, hired the lobbyists who drafted the language, working with the legislators who sponsor it, and voting it through before the opposition can read it. The KIDS Act is a consolidated package. H.R. 7757 is the container. S.1409 is the engine. The companies in the screenshot paid for it…

The lobbying database confirms the money trail.

In 1903, John Muir did something no politician, no senator, no army of lobbyists could do. He took the President of the United States away from his entourage, away from the speeches and the crowds, and led him deep into the heart of Yosemite. Just two men. A campfire. The open sky above Glacier Point.

That night, dusted by fresh snow under the giant Sequoias, Theodore Roosevelt felt something shift inside him. Muir didn't lecture. He just showed him the truth a magnificent wilderness being eaten alive by logging, grazing, and greed. By morning, the President had seen enough.

Roosevelt later told a crowd that sleeping beneath those ancient trees felt like resting inside a temple built by God himself. Within three years, Yosemite Valley was transferred to full federal protection.

One man. No weapon. No army. Just an unshakeable love for the American land and the courage to speak its truth to the most powerful person on earth.

John Muir didn't just save a valley. He saved America's soul.

Father of the National Parks. Guardian of the American Wilderness.

Ret. Army Colonel Douglas Macgregor says Bibi Netanyahu is the greatest "boost" to antisemitism ever

"Israel has made itself a pariah state... no one in human history has done as much to boost antisemitism as Bibi Netanyahu"

"He has now become this ugly face of antisemitism"

"all [Israel has] succeeded in doing is creating millions of enemies. They acted from the very beginning as though everyone was the enemy when that wasn't necessarily the case. Now it is"

This clip of Macgregor (@DougAMacgregor), who's also a combat veteran, military analyst, and author, is taken from an interview with James Patrick (@BigPictureWatch) posted to the BIG PICTURE YouTube channel on June 29, 2026.

----------------Partial transcription of clip---------------

"Israel is engaging in so many conflicts now with our backing to do it. And is that sustainable? And what is the future of Israel? Israel is already overreached. Their army doesn't want to go to war anymore. Their reservists don't want to fight.

"If given the opportunity, they'll all drop their weapons and go home. They're not up for this long war of attrition that Israel's government has started. That's very clear.

"But I think when you talk about the long-term future, is Israel the kind of place that everyone is going to visit as a tourist? Does everybody want to go there and spend time? Israel has made itself a pariah state.

"If you're, if you're talking about this, this ugly thing called antisemitism, no one in the history, in human history that I'm aware of, maybe Trotsky and some of the Bolsheviks, but no one in human history has done as much to boost antisemitism as Bibi Netanyahu.

"He has now become this ugly face of antisemitism... [and] I know that large numbers of people living in Israel want to leave. Large numbers have already left. More will leave in the future"

"All they succeeded in doing is creating millions of enemies. They acted from the very beginning as though everyone was the enemy when that wasn't necessarily the case. Now it is."

In 2002, Don Knotts married Frances Yarborough, and by then his life had already moved far from the bright, nervous energy that made Barney Fife unforgettable on *The Andy Griffith Show* (1960).

He was living quietly in West Los Angeles, surrounded by family and away from the spotlight that had followed him for decades.

To the public, Don was still Barney Fife.

The wide eyes.

The shaky voice.

The perfect comic panic.

But to his daughter, Karen Knotts, he was something completely different.

He was simply her father.

Karen once said, "He was not Barney Fife. My father was witty and funny all on his own. He was a good father."

That one sentence revealed the man behind the character.

Don didn't need a sheriff's badge or a television script to make people laugh.

Humor was simply part of who he was.

Even when no cameras were around.

His later years, however, brought difficult challenges.

His eyesight slowly faded because of macular degeneration.

For someone who had built a career on reading expressions and perfect comic timing, losing his vision was especially painful.

Although acting offers still arrived, he began turning some away.

Karen believed he sometimes felt his best television years were behind him.

There was another battle the public rarely saw.

Don struggled with depression.

His childhood had been filled with hardship, poverty, family instability, an alcoholic older brother, and a father living with paranoid schizophrenia.

Those experiences stayed with him long into adulthood.

Karen later shared, "Because of my father's depression and the pain he carried from childhood, I became like a mini shrink, always trying to understand his moods and help him feel lighter."

Behind the laughter...

There was a man carrying old wounds.

As he grew older, health problems became harder to ignore.

He worried constantly about illness.

Then came cancer treatment, breathing difficulties, and a life that became much quieter than before.

In August 2005, poor health forced him to cancel a hometown appearance in Morgantown, West Virginia.

It hurt him deeply.

Through it all, Frances remained by his side.

Karen stayed close too.

So did old friends.

Andy Griffith, his longtime friend and television partner, was among the last people to visit him at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

On February 24, 2006, Don Knotts died in Los Angeles from pulmonary and respiratory complications related to lung cancer.

He was 81 years old.

The world lost one of television's greatest comedians.

His family lost a loving husband and father.

Karen's strongest memory wasn't a final speech.

It was a laugh.

As everyone gathered around his hospital bed, Don said something so funny that she couldn't stop laughing.

"I had to run out of the room because I thought laughing near my dying father was the wrong thing to do."

Later, director Howard Storm told her she should have stayed.

Because making people laugh...

Even at the hardest moment...

Was exactly who Don Knotts had always been.

The quiet man left the world the same way he had lived.

By making someone smile.

The vote that would create the United States was deadlocked, and the man who could break the tie was eighty miles away, dying of cancer, on the wrong side of a thunderstorm.

His name was Caesar Rodney. On the first of July 1776, while Congress argued itself toward independence in Philadelphia, he was stuck back in Delaware. He was tamping down Loyalist trouble, in constant pain from the cancer eating at his face and fighting for breath due to his asthma.

Then the letter came. Delaware's two delegates in Congress were split. One for independence, one against. Without a tiebreaker, the colonies would not stand united. And a divided front was exactly what the Crown was counting on.

He did not hesitate. He climbed onto his horse near midnight and rode straight into the storm. Lightning split the sky. The roads turned to sludge. A journey that normally took two days but he made it in eighteen hours. He stopped only to change horses, soaked with every mile.

He reached Independence Hall on the morning of July 2 just as the vote was called, still in his boots and spurs. Caked in mud. Thomas McKean never forgot the sight of him standing in the doorway.

Rodney walked in and cast his vote for independence. It broke Delaware's tie, and with that, not a single colony stood against the break from Britain.

On this day, 250 years ago, a dying man rode all night through a storm so America could be born.

This was what running through Golden Gate Park looked like at 99. In San Francisco in 1966, Larry Lewis ran six miles every morning, rain or shine, while the city was still asleep.

Lewis later worked as a waiter at the St. Francis Hotel and remained active well past 100. On his 102nd birthday, he celebrated by running 100 yards in 17.3 seconds, faster than the year before. He joked that the improvement came from wearing proper running shoes instead of street shoes.

Raised on a Navajo reservation in Arizona, Lewis left home at 15 to join the P. T. Barnum Circus as an acrobat and aerialist. He claimed to have worked for decades as Harry Houdini’s assistant and lived to the age of 106, passing away on February 1, 1974.
