The cardiac unit of the Düsseldorf University Hospital, where people recover from heart surgery, is currently measuring 38°C/ 100.4°F. As you can see, the building is only about 15 years old. And built without central air-conditioning.
America is currently experiencing a profound awakening to its Appalachian roots.
For decades, coastal media dismissed this region as an afterthought, an isolated pocket of the past.
But today, everyday Americans are hungry for something real.
In a world filled with manufactured internet trends and artificial perfection, the raw, unfiltered honesty of “Y’allternative” and Appalachian music is striking a massive chord.
This new band cigarettes @ Sunset with their raw Possum draw you in with their storytelling, mix of rock, blues, and old Appalachian sounds capture it all:

American-born citizens are subsidizing the foreign-born to live in our financial capital, while driving up prices of the remaining supply.
a16z's @bhorowitz says the California wealth tax is the "best strategy" to dismantle Silicon Valley that he's ever seen.
"It's been so hard to break the Silicon Valley network effect, but this is the best strategy I've seen."
"Norway has an unrealized capital gains tax. Norway's got a lot of extremely smart people, great entrepreneurs, but they all left."
"When you talk to entrepreneurs in Norway, they're like, 'I literally can't pay the tax because the company got marked up, and I own a lot of it, and I can't get that money out.'"
"'It's a private company. I'm stuck. So, I have to leave the country.'"
"There are basically no tech entrepreneurs in Norway now."

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. SCOTUS Justice Sam Alito asks ACLU lawyer "what is a man and a woman?" and they DON'T HAVE A DEFINITION.
Alito's response is perfect.
ALITO: What does it mean to be a man or woman?
ACLU: We do not have a definition for the Court.
ALITO: How can a court determine whether there's discrimination on the basis of s*x, without KNOWING what s*x means?!
Omg, you can't make this crap up. Seriously.
I am really, really angry at the lies being spread by the usual cadre of woke, retired generals and admirals in the last couple of days.
Pete Hegseth is not politicizing our nation's military, he is DEPOLITICIZING it.
And the Marxists HATE it, because a politicized military is essential to their society-destroying agenda.
My 1,000 word article below explains. Please read, I think it's really important.
@ezralevant insane that he describes in detail that he's a communist and the media immediately labels him a right winger anyway.
shooter was a left wing incel confirmed.
On this Summer Solstice of 2026, the six greatest threats to liberty and prosperity in the United States of America are as follows, ranked in order from most threatening to least (less) threatening:
1. Voting laws that make fraud generally impossible to prove in a court of law.
2. Failing to greatly reduce the size, scope and power of the unelected, unaccountable administrative state Leviathans at the federal and state levels.
3. Unchecked illegal immigration.
4. Mass immigration (both legal and illegal) of people from cultures who deny the basic rights of women and do not respect freedom of religion and freedom of speech.
5. Refusing to use America’s abundant, cheap oil and gas reserves in favor of expensive, wasteful, inefficient, landscape-destroying, species-killing, so-called “green” energy.
6. Social welfare programs for the able-bodied lazy.
Since Trump was elected we are making progress in these areas, but it’s not enough and will all get undone if Democrats somehow regain power. That’s why the 2026 and 2028 elections represent a binary choice between the doom or survival of the great American experiment. 🇺🇸
This is a wild victory lap.
Step 1 - essentially legalize all drugs - overdose deaths skyrocket.
Step 2 - Criminalize illicit drugs again - overdose deaths drop by half.
Step 3 - take credit only for step 2.

The “conservative” group planning this protest (Humans First) forgot to censor their website’s privacy policy, which shows they’re using The Action Network, which is basically ActBlue for nonprofits.
Don’t fall for the psyop, folks.
Far-left historians today often exaggerate the importance of slavery to capitalism by tracing cotton's derivative products globally.
That said, there is one 19th century figure who directly benefitted from slave-produced cotton: Karl Marx.
For most of his adult life, Marx relied on handouts from his friend Friedrich Engels for his main source of income. From the 1840s-1869 Marx send Engels a non-stop stream of requests for money, which Engels usually obliged. After 1869, Engels sold his business partnership and began giving Marx a regular yearly allowance from the proceeds that more or less lasted until his death in 1883.
Engels's business, in turn, was a large textile mill in Manchester operated by his father's firm Ermen and Engels. And what did that mill make? Yarns and fabrics out of slave-produced cotton, which it sourced from the American south.
We know this because, in 1862, Engels wrote a letter to Marx about the American Civil War in which he reported that cotton from the south had dried up because of the blockade. Other business records indicate that Ermen and Engels got their cotton from shipments through Liverpool, which in the 1840s-1861 meant southern plantation cotton imports from the United States. Indeed, southern cotton would have been the raw material that sustained the majority of Engels' working career since he retired only 4 years after the end of the Civil War and the abolition of slavery in the United States. His firm likely also got cotton from other sources such as Egypt during the Civil War, but for most of his multi-decade career there, the cotton would have been slave-produced.
That means Engels very much made his family fortune as a derivative beneficiary of American slavery. And he used that slave-derived fortune to directly subsidize Karl Marx ;-)
