Cute theory, let's play it out.

A monkey hoards a trillion bananas. The troop, enraged, beats him to death. They gather around the pile to feast at last.

But... oh wait, there is no pile.

It turns out the "bananas" were shares in a banana-launching company the dead monkey founded.

The shares were worth a trillion because he was alive to run it.

Now he is dead and the stock is worth $0.

The retarded monkeys have clubbed their way into a recession.

But it gets worse.

Half the "bananas" were tied up in a rocket that supplies bananas to monkeys on the far mountain who had no bananas at all.

Another chunk was tied up in a little satellite dish that beamed banana coordinates to the troop after a flood took out their trees.

So now they realized they beat to death the only monkey who knew how the dish worked.

So the monkeys sit there.

No bananas.
No rockets.
No coordinates to get more banananas.

Just a dead body and a powerful sense of fairness as they all now became infinitely poorer.

OH

And somewhere a smaller monkey watches the whole thing and quietly decides he will never build anything in front of these animals again.

Hello @SpringerNature,

There are many reasons why the fraudulent Proximal Origin paper should have been retracted long ago. Not least among them is the fact that its purported authors privately admitted they did not believe their own conclusions, including lead author Kristian Andersen, who confessed that “the lab escape version of this is so friggin' likely.”

But let's set that aside for a moment.

We now have an email from Francis Collins, then Director of the NIH, explicitly acknowledging that he, Fauci, and others helped write the paper while deliberately keeping their names off it. According to Nature's authorship policies, this constitutes a serious breach of professional ethics and scientific integrity that demands an urgent investigation.

The paper should be retracted immediately pending that investigation.

Looking forward to your prompt action.

Natives need to bear firmly in mind that if the demographics of this nation wildly vary from the traditional white majority, it won't be some great development for us.

It will be the opposite. We share a history with the whites, good and bad, but it's behind us now. The whites like and admire us, and as little as some of us want to admit it, they have helped us enormously.

The newcomers don't give a damn about us. We have no history with Pakistanis or Afghans or whoever. They are coming to conquer, that's it.

If we don't stand with the whites, we will fall together. It's that simple.

[Cali Wolverine @GoBlueEsq]

@E_Barcohana I appreciate your zeal ("when," not "if). I just hope CaGOP actually sees this through, and competently (without losing interest, giving up, getting bounced for lack of standing, etc.). It's their only hope.

California Is Blocking a Federal Audit of Its Voter Rolls

California allows first-time voters to register using forms of ID that most Americans would find surprising, including:

-Gym membership card
-Employer ID card
-Credit or debit card
-Prescription drug label
-Insurance card (California provides free health coverage to undocumented immigrants)

Full list: https://t.co/BvfviJsYG8

This is permitted when a voter fails to provide a Social Security number or driver’s license at registration. Our office believes this policy deserves a closer look.

We also have serious concerns about how California maintains its voter rolls. There are open questions about whether the state is promptly removing deceased voters, people who have moved, and individuals convicted of disqualifying felonies.

On top of that, California allows third parties to collect and turn in ballots on voters’ behalf (a practice known as ballot harvesting) with few restrictions. This makes it difficult to track who actually received, completed, and submitted each ballot.

For over a year, the Department of Justice has been trying to audit California’s voter rolls. Federal law gives the Attorney General the authority to review state voter files and confirm that only eligible U.S. citizens are voting in federal elections.

@AAGDhillon sent California a letter explaining our legal authority. California refused to comply, claiming state privacy laws block the review, an argument that does not hold up because those laws don’t apply to the federal government in this context. We’ve sued California in federal court, and the case is before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

If California genuinely wants voters to trust its elections, it should open its records, not fight to keep them closed.

What are they afraid of?

[F.A. United States Attorney Bill Essayli @USAttyEssayli]

Protecting the integrity of California’s elections is a top priority for my office.

California’s election system has serious structural vulnerabilities. Universal vote-by-mail with no voter ID requirements creates conditions where fraud can go undetected and unpunished, eroding public confidence.

Without commenting on any specific investigation, my office has multiple election fraud investigations underway in coordination with @FBILosAngeles. We will follow the evidence wherever it leads and prosecute any violations of federal election law to the fullest extent.

My office is also working closely with @AAGDhillon to conduct a comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls. The state has stonewalled every effort to verify that only eligible U.S. citizens are registered to vote. This case is now before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal.

My office will not look the other way. We will investigate and prosecute. Every legal vote deserves to be counted. Every illegal vote cancels one out.

[Ihtesham Ali @ihtesham2005]

An advertising executive in 1939 wrote a 48-page book explaining exactly how ideas are made. It's 5 steps. Almost everyone skips the one that actually does the work.

His name was James Webb Young, and he spent his career at one of the biggest ad agencies in America watching people wait around for inspiration to strike.

He thought that was insane. He believed producing an idea was a process you could learn, repeat, and control, the same way a factory produces cars. So he wrote down the exact method.

The whole thing rests on one claim that sounds too simple to be true.

An idea is nothing more than a new combination of old elements.

That's it.

You don't invent ideas out of nothing. You take things that already exist and connect them in a way nobody connected before. Which means the entire skill of being creative is just the skill of seeing relationships between things.

The more raw material you've stuffed into your head, the more combinations become possible.

He compared the mind to a kaleidoscope. Every turn shifts the same colored pieces into a new pattern. The more pieces inside, the more striking the patterns it can make.

You are not making new glass. You are rearranging what's already there.

Then he laid out the five steps.

Step one is gathering raw material.

Two kinds. Specific material about the exact problem in front of you, and general material about everything else under the sun. He said most people fail right here, because gathering is boring and they'd rather sit and hope inspiration shows up. He called it a chore people are constantly trying to dodge.

Step two is chewing on it.

You take the facts and turn them over in your mind, look at them from every angle, try to force pieces together. Partial ideas start showing up. So does exhaustion. You hit a wall where nothing fits and your brain feels completely used up. Most people read that wall as failure and quit.

It isn't failure. It's the signal for step three.

Step three is the one everyone rushes past.

You drop the problem completely. You walk away. You go do something that has nothing to do with the work, something that excites you. A movie, a walk, music, sleep. Young was dead serious about this. You make no direct effort at all. You hand the whole thing over to your unconscious mind and you leave it alone.

This feels like procrastination. It is the opposite. Your conscious mind has done all it can. Now a deeper part of your brain takes the pieces you fed it and keeps shuffling them while you are busy not thinking about it.

Step four is when the idea comes back.

Not while you're straining at your desk. It arrives in the shower, on a walk, the second you stop trying. That flash of insight only fires after you've released the pressure. Young watched it happen to himself again and again, and so has anyone who's ever solved a problem the moment they gave up on it.

James Clear built half his work on this idea. Brian Eno reaches for the same principle every time he gets stuck. The break is not a break from the work. The break is the work.

Step five is the part the dreamers abandon. You take the fragile new idea out into the real world and let it get criticized. You shape it, fix it, adapt it to actual conditions. Young said good ideas have a self-expanding quality. Show one to the right people and they instantly tell you how to make it better. Most idea people are too precious to listen. They lose the idea in the final stage because they won't let anyone touch it.

So the full loop is gather, chew, drop it, catch it, ship it.

The brutal part is how simple it sounds. Young warned that the formula is so easy to state that nobody believes it works, and so hard to follow that almost nobody actually does it. The believing is easy. The doing is the whole game.

Everyone wants the flash of insight in step four. Nobody wants to do the boring gathering in step one, and nobody trusts the empty waiting in step three.

But the idea was never going to come from staring harder.

It was going to come the moment you finally looked away.

Suppose you reviewed the Astronomy Department's course syllabi and discovered that they were all teaching heavily from L. Ron Hubbard.

Which would you conclude?

A. This proves that L. Ron Hubbard was an important astronomer who had key scientific insights to understanding outer space!

B. The Astronomy Department has been captured by a bunch of Scientologist kooks.

Now replace Hubbard with Karl Marx, and Astronomy with the English Department.

Here's what they've normalized and are trying to reinforce with the Jaxson Dart situation:

Black people can be offended by what white people believe. But white people can't be offended by what black people believe.

It's legal to love and worship Barack Obama. It's illegal to love and worship Donald Trump.

Unsustainable.

Ye’s show in Istanbul will be the largest ticketed stadium event in history, beating a record set by Zack Bryan at The Big House in Michigan. Bryan played to 112,485 fans; Ye is expected to sell out the Atatürk Stadium’s maximum capacity configuration of over 120,000 people.

E. Jean Carroll says she "forgot" during her depositions that Democrat megadonor and Trump hater Reid Hoffman was funding her case.

But yeah, trust her memory about something she said happened thirty years prior.

This reminds me of another hoax when Democrats, while accusing Trump of being a Russian asset, "forgot" to mention that the Clinton campaign had funded the Steele dossier.

Kathy Hochul: Can Donald Trump even name the "1993 Knicks championship team" that doesn't exist??

President Trump: Literally catching Charles Oakley in his arms while sitting courtside in the '90s.

[MJTruthUltra @MJTruthUltra]

Reminder…

This is when E. Jean Carroll, the woman who accused President Trump of Raping her, says in order to convince the jury, a group of professionals tried to make her look more “Fuckable” and admits “It was all just Trick”

She says her legal team wanted to recreate how she looked in the 90’s, all the way down to her hair, in order to create the impression she was an attractive enough person for Donald Trump to screw her.

I hope Trump takes EVERYTHING from her.
