Yes, those late nights! I did at least have a typewriter. 😊

Some high school kids were talking and said “No way Gen X wrote 10-page papers without AI.”

Oh, honey.

We wrote them without reading the book…the night before they were due…by hand and in cursive.

We are not the same.

There is a species of ant that approaches the edge of another colony, kills a single worker, and then takes on the dead ant’s scent.

For ants, scent is everything. Wearing that scent, the intruder walks in with no resistance. The workers pass by without concern.

The intruder moves inward, toward the queen, then It sprays the queen with a different scent that makes the workers turn on her. Then they surround her and kill her.

The intruder does not need to fight anyone. The colony does the work itself.

Once the queen is gone, the intruder reproduces. The true invader is no longer an intruder. It is the future.

This is how ideological takeover works.

A destructive foreign ideology takes the scent of familiar ideas and walks in as if it belongs.

It speaks the native vocabulary, justice, equality, compassion, rights, progress. It uses these words and quietly changes what they point to.

Then it moves inward.

It alters how foundations are perceived. Responsibility is made to smell like cruelty, law like oppression, borders like hatred, tradition like danger, history like guilt.

At that point, the civilization turns on itself.

Its courts, universities, churches, media, and bureaucracies begin treating their own foundations as threats. They believe they are defending the system.

They are enforcing what now smells legitimate. They do not see the intruder because it sounds exactly like them.

And when the founding principles are finally removed, discredited, dismantled, erased, the foreign ideology does not need to conquer anything. It inherits what is left.

The queen is gone. The colony is no longer itself.

The most effective conquest is the one that convinces a society that its own foundations are the enemy, and that killing them is an act of virtue.

UPDATE ON THE TUCKER CARLSON FIASCO. So in case you missed it, Tucker announced by video that he has been informed that the CIA is reading his text messages and is preparing a criminal referral against him.

Several things have happened since.

First, you must understand: the CIA would never reveal that it had illegally wiretapped anybody, because why would they? Aside from possible punishments for guilty parties, the bigger issue is that an illegal wiretap would kill their case: "fruit of the poison tree". So if they're actually preparing a criminal referral, they've dotted their i's well enough to get past a judge.

So how does the CIA surveil an American citizen? In most cases they can't, at least not legally. So if it was legal, they probably were NOT surveilling Tucker, but rather some foreign enemy with whom he was texting: he was talking to people he shouldn't have been, about things he shouldn't have said. That's about the only way you get there from here.

A couple things have happened since:

First, Buckley Carlson (Tucker's brother) took to X to give a lengthy definition of treason and explain why whatever his brother did wasn't that.

Hmmm....

Second, both Axios and the Administration have denied any of this is true. Which is...interesting. Both might have motives to deny Tucker's story (e.g., why would the Administration confirm a possible-but-future investigation the DOJ hasn't yet initiated?).

But what if they're telling the truth? Buckley's post suggests Tucker was telling the truth, at least so far as he knew it, and the family is mounting a defense. Glenn Greenwald certainly thinks that's true. But Glenn could be wrong, and Axios could be right.

So we now have three reasonably likely possibilities:

1. Tucker Carlson violated FARA, which is particularly ironic given how many times he's publicly called for FARA investigations of various people he dislikes for unsubstantiated allegations that they were on some foreign government's payroll. No one would more richly deserve this outcome than Tucker Carlson, IF this is what happened.

2. More sinister possibility: Tucker Carlson was aiding and abetting a foreign enemy (because that's a far more likely reason for the CIA to be involved, given the above-stated limitations). In this scenario, it is very likely that Donald Trump had Tucker to the Oval Office to feed him disinformation that then magically appeared in texts with Iranian leaders.

==> Just to be clear: that would NOT fall under "journalism". That would be espionage, and Tucker would (if that's what happened) be in danger of spending the rest of his life in prison.

3. More narcissistic possibility: Tucker made it all up, as Axios claims. In that case, this would mean that he made up a scary story about the Trump Administration to get clicks, cash, and standing as a victim persecuted by the "evil" Donald Trump, "bought-and-paid-for" agent of "the Jooos".

And honestly, this morning, I think most of us would lean toward Aisle 3. It's pretty much classic him.

But that obscures the magnitude of what happened this weekend. Either Tucker Carlson lied or he didn't. If he didn't, then he was likely aiding and abetting a foreign enemy in time of war, or at least committing the same kind of FARA violation he's accused his enemies of for years. And if he did, then he's just a charlatan.

Either way, Tucker Carlson blew a Titanic-sized hole in his own credibility this weekend. It seems to be an unforced error. And that's going to be very hard to overcome outside the realm of his own devotees.

If you weren’t sure what a “Color Revolution” is, this young lady does an excellent job explaining it.

We’ve been going through a “Color Revolution” in the United States since 2016. (I’m sure you can guess those involved).

Great one to bookmark and share.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.

“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”

Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.

So, what happened?

Screens.

Dr. Jared Horvath explained:

“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”

“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”

“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”

But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵

She looks like she's having so much fun you wouldn't notice this is a world-tier performance. What impresses me is not the "speed" but the excellent timing and dynamics, she really feels this piece. Just practice will never bring you there, this comes from the heart.

Who am I to tell you what your CHILD should put in their body? I don't have that right. Your body is a gift from God. What you put into your body is because of your relationship with your Body and God."

🚨A major scandal is unfolding within Fairfax County Public Schools in which allegations have been made against school officials for having arranged, transported, and paid for the abortions of two young students.

An absolutely outrageous affront to parental rights.

@RodDMartin What about solar? I hope it gets cut too, it’s destroying thousands of acres of good farmland.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

The best way to sort this out is to take Anthony Fauci to court and indict him for lying under oath to Congress. He will indicate he received a pardon, which will open the pardons and the autopen scandal up to scrutiny.
