It’s important to keep the electoral college for many reasons!

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

The Electoral College reflects the fact that the US is a republic. The Founders wanted a constitutional system based on the consent of the governed, but they wanted filtering mechanisms so that the will of the people would be channeled towards the public good. And they wanted the role of the states respected.

The EC also guarantees that in an “extended republic” like the US, a candidate cannot just run up the score in one region of the country.

In our time, the EC serves to produce a clearer and more decisive winner (see, eg, Bill Clinton winning 43% of the popular vote but a strong majority in the EC) and focuses election administration in individual states, which reduces complexity in a close race.

We should be doing more to bolster federalism and the role states play, not further weaken them.

There is no reason to change the Electoral College.

@naomirwolf Great post. Kids have got to have the freedom to make bloopers without it being forever on social media. Give them a carefree childhood, not baggage that always follows them.

Think yoga doesn’t conflict with Christianity? Might want to read this.

[Tevin Macharia Mukabana @TevinMacharia]

I saw a post about an Ex yoga teacher , telling people that Yoga is Demonic and many Christian do Yoga ...

Do you know the budhist idol has the same sitting position with Yoga .l,I have attached pictures of the budhaist ...If you watch the monks ,when they worship the Idol ,they position themselves with that Yoga position.

As a Christian why do you want to connect your spirit to something that is not God

Many people enter things like yoga, meditation practices, or spiritual exercises thinking they are “just for relaxation” or “just stretching,” without understanding the spiritual roots behind some practices. As believers, discernment matters.
Not every spiritual practice leads to God.
The Bible warns us not to participate in worship, practices, or spiritual systems that are rooted in other gods or beliefs contrary to Christ.
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God...”
— 1 John 4:1
Anything that seeks spiritual awakening, inner divinity, energy alignment, chanting to deities, or union with another spiritual source should be examined carefully through the lens of Scripture.
Many people unknowingly open themselves spiritually because they only look at the physical side and ignore the spiritual foundation behind it. God calls His people to worship Him alone.
“You shall have no other gods before Me.”
— Exodus 20:3
As Christians, our connection is not with the universe, energies, or unknown spirits.
Our connection is with God through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit.
“For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5
This is why discernment is important in this generation.
Not everything called “peace,” “healing,” or “spiritual growth” comes from God.
Pray for wisdom. Study Scripture. Test every practice. Stay rooted in Christ.

And so YOGA is NOT Body Stretch

Body stretch is physical exercise. Yoga is occult. Ask any yogi - Yoga priests - and they’ll tell you Yoga is worship which includes mind control, opening the third eye, cursing objects, and imparting spirits into devotees.

There’s no such a thing as Christian Yoga – just like we can’t have Chistian Porn, Christian Magic, Christian Witchcraft, Christian Halloween, Christian Voodoo, Chistian Gays, Chistian Masons or Christian Mistresses.

Yoga can’t be christened. The word Yoga comes from the root word – Yug – which means to yoke or to unite. Each Yoga pose unites the worshipper with three Hindu gods: Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu.

By all means, stretch your body. Body stretch relieves muscle aches and increases body flexibility and muscle blood flow. But don’t call it Yoga – and don’t practice Yoga – it’s demonic!

United Airlines needs to fire this pilot!!! Yikes

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

My jaw literally dropped listening to this

There is a Muslim pilot who works for United Airlines that regularly makes pro-terrorist organizations posts on his social media

The Muslims name is Ibrahim Mossallam. He works on the Board of CAIR New York, which is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood

He made an October 7, 2023 Facebook post calling the Hamas attacks “resistance by a brave people.” United suspended him with pay while investigating but the Pilots Union got him his job back and he went back to flying planes in America

Since then the pilot has been temporarily resuspended for flying because of his extreme religious beliefs and posts but he is 100% still employed. He is still getting paid on suspension

I looked into this guy and he is VERY involved in Muslim organizations

- CAIR-NY lists him as Board Vice-President and describes him as a professional international airline pilot who is “very active in shaping the Muslim youth community.”
- He has also been listed as a board member of American Muslims for Palestine (AMP-NY)
- He is listed as a council member of the Muslim American Society (MAS-NY)
- He’s a representative of the Islamic Leadership Council of New York (Majlis Ash-Shura)
- He pursued graduate studies in religious leadership at Boston Islamic Seminary

This is literally the last person on earth we want flying commercial planes full of people in America

[Kari Lake @KariLake]

They called you a conspiracy theorist. Then they released the paper that blows up their own story.

The CIA just released a document that contradicts the CIA. Their own file on Venezuela and Smartmatic.

Their own file called Smartmatic a U.S. national-security threat in 2006. It said Chávez wanted to stop a sitting American president. It described a 2012 Venezuela rigging plan: targeted machines, a set margin, built to beat an audit. The CIA’s source reported Chavez “congratulated” the team for rigging the election with the previously set margin. Then the CIA wrote “no large-scale fraud” next to it.

Eleven years later, Smartmatic showed up in the U.S. to build L.A. County’s system for $282M — America’s largest election jurisdiction — just in time for the 2020 election. Now its executives are federally charged with bribery and money laundering on that contract.

And we are the conspiracy theorists?? 🫨🤯

God bless this family. Shame on the school for not finding a way to keep the principal.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨WOW!!!

An Ohio principal LOST HIS JOB after refusing to abandon a homeless 16-year-old student who was sleeping in a CAR.

He and his wife already had SIX KIDS… but they took him in anyway.

When the boy offered to LEAVE so the principal could save his career, he refused. ❤️

His name is Rob Burnside. He had spent 31 YEARS in education and was the principal of Lakota East High School outside Cincinnati.

The boy’s name is Landerius “DeDe” Hayes.

During DeDe’s junior year, his home life fell apart.

He says living with his mother wasn’t safe, his father was dealing with problems of his own, and there were nights when DeDe was sleeping in a car with the heater running because the mobile home where his father was staying was too cold.

...and yet, every morning, he kept showing up to school.

Eventually the school learned DeDe’s mother had moved outside the district. Without a qualifying address, DeDe was withdrawn from Lakota East.

That’s when Principal Burnside realized this wasn’t just an enrollment problem.

This kid didn’t have a freaking HOME.

Rob went home and told his wife, Angel, what was happening. Her response was basically: if he needs somewhere to live, he can live with us.

Rob and Angel already had SIX CHILDREN, including two they had adopted, but there was a 16-year-old boy out there without a stable place to sleep, and they couldn’t ignore it.

The couple prayed about whether they should take DeDe in. Rob has said that just minutes later, his phone buzzed.

It was DeDe.

“Hey, Mr. Burnside.”

Rob looked at his wife and knew they had their answer.

DeDe moved in with the Burnsides and suddenly had something he desperately needed: a warm house, food, stability and people who were going to show up for him.

While DeDe’s custody and residency situation was being worked out, Burnside allowed him to continue attending classes even though he’d already been withdrawn.

The district investigated Burnside for insubordination and raised concerns about enrollment, lunches and liability.

He was eventually placed on administrative leave.

After 31 YEARS in education, Rob says he was given a choice: step down or go through the termination process.

The 16 year old, DeDe, realized Rob’s career was on the line and offered to LEAVE THEIR HOME so Burnside could keep his job.

Rob wouldn’t allow it.

He hugged DeDe and told him: "You’re part of this family. We’re not gonna turn our back on you.”

So Burnside stepped away from the career he’d spent three decades building... and DeDe stayed.

The Burnsides eventually became his legal family. DeDe started calling Rob and Angel “Pops and Ma.”

Then this past May, Rob Burnside sat in the stands at DeDe’s high school graduation.

Not as the principal, just sitting there as a dad, watching the kid he refused to abandon walk across the stage.

DeDe is 18 now and is pursuing a career in aviation mechanics.

When asked he regretted what happened, Rob simple said:

“What value can we put on the life of a young person?”

When Rob Burnside had to choose between protecting that career and protecting a homeless kid who needed somebody…

He chose the kid.

And when that kid offered to sacrifice his own home to repay him…

Rob chose him AGAIN.

Brandon Gill is so impressive!

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Food stamp advocate SELF-DESTRUCTS as Rep. Brandon Gill presses her on why taxpayers pay for Coca-Cola.

She tries to dodge the question. Then Gill pulls out the receipts, and she sits there in stunned silence.

GILL: “Should SNAP dollars be spent on sodas?”

WITNESS: “I am happy to talk about hunger and nutrition, but not dictate what Americans should or should not eat or may have access to.”

GILL: “I’m asking if tax dollars should be used to pay for sodas.”

“Do they need sugary sodas to survive?”

WITNESS: “Some of them do…”

GILL: “You think they need Coca-Cola to survive?”

“I’m giving you the opportunity to say yes or no.”

WITNESS: “I will not answer for individuals and their… choices.”

GILL: “What does SNAP stand for?”

WITNESS: “It’s a Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.”

GILL: “What’s nutritional about Coca-Cola?”

WITNESS: “I am not a nutritionist.”

Then Gill asks who’s paying her, and she freezes like a deer in headlights.

GILL: “Is your organization funded by organizations that make money from food stamps?”

[awkward silence]

GILL: “Do organizations who profit off of food stamps fund your organization or businesses?”

WITNESS: “I mean, in the, in the, I, I can’t comment to that.”

GILL: “Does General Mills fund your organization?”

WITNESS: “I don’t have access to that information.”

GILL: “I do. It’s right here. They do fund your organization. […] Yes, and they’re profiting off of your advocacy. Do you think that that’s a conflict of interest?”

[more silence]

GILL: “I think most people think that’s a conflict of interest. I know you don’t want to answer.”

Always follow the money.

CONTEXT: USDA’s own study found soft drinks were the #1 purchase in SNAP households, beating milk, ground beef, and everything else in the store.

Read this about scientists who think ticks making people allergic to meat is positive. Good gosh, what is happening? It’s insane and immoral. We must get involved to protect ourselves. Run for office. Return our society to common sense and logic. Save our freedoms.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Two American bioethicists have published a paper arguing that a tick which makes people allergic to red meat ought to be helped to spread.

It appeared in the journal Bioethics in July 2025 under the title Beneficial Bloodsucking. The authors are Parker Crutchfield and Blake Hereth of the medical school at Western Michigan University.

The tick is the lone star tick. Its bite can leave you with alpha-gal syndrome, after which beef, lamb and pork bring on hives, vomiting and, in the bad cases, a closing throat, usually some hours after dinner and often in the middle of the night. Milk can do it too. So can the gelatine in a tablet. The CDC thinks as many as 450,000 Americans have it, and last year doctors reported the first confirmed death, a man in New Jersey who had eaten a hamburger.

The paper looks at all that and sees a teaching aid. If eating meat is wrong, it reasons, then spreading the syndrome is "strongly pro tanto obligatory", and it notes that editing ticks for the purpose is already feasible.

Dr Crutchfield has form. In 2019 he argued that making the public more moral by medical means should be done covertly.

Asked about the tick, he said it was a thought experiment, and that he is not himself a vegetarian.

It passed peer review. The tick was not consulted, but is understood to be willing.
