“What exactly is your ‘fair share’ of what someone else has worked for?” - Thomas Sowell

[Jaynit @jaynitx]

Jordan Peterson on why writing is the most powerful skill you can learn:

1. writing and thinking are the same thing. there is no difference between them. when you learn to write clearly you are not learning to express thoughts you already have. you are learning to have the thoughts in the first place.

2. universities never tell students why they are writing. the answer they get is you need the grade. the real answer is you need to learn to think. because thinking is what makes you act effectively in the world and win the battles you choose to fight.

3. if you can think, speak, and write you are absolutely dangerous. people give you money. they give you opportunities. you have influence. peterson says nothing can get in your way. that is what you are at university for.

4. the most articulate person in the room always wins the argument. peterson has watched staggeringly successful people his whole life. the common thread: you do not want to argue with them. not because they are aggressive. because their points are organized and yours probably aren't.

5. someone who cannot write has done almost everything wrong before they start. wrong words, wrong sentences, wrong paragraph order, wrong structure, wrong conclusion. peterson says marking a bad essay is agony because the answer to what did i do wrong is essentially everything.

I’m convinced discipline is just the highest form of self-respect. It’s choosing what you want most over what you want now. It’s keeping your word. It’s an act of service to your future self.

How do I know the media is brainwashing people?

Obama's ICE Chief received the Presidential Award for Distinguished Service for removing over 900,000 illegal aliens.

Trump's ICE Chief is called a Nazi.

It is the same person.....Tom Homan....

The only difference? The narrative.

[Mike Bales 🫡🇺🇸 @MikeBales]

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America.

But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem.

You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

[El Artesano del Trading @Alestrader]

En el primer día de mi clase de historia de la secundaria, nuestro profesor se levantó y dijo:

Tienes 13 o 14 años. Hace 200 años, las personas de tu edad se casaban, sembraban cultivos, tenían hijos y construían una cabaña para el invierno.

Tú puedes hacer tu tarea. La vara histórica que se te ha puesto es embarazosamente baja. No estás lidiando con una hambruna regional o una plaga.

No tienes que salvar a tu familia de saqueadores ni ir a la batalla para destruir a tus enemigos.

Tienes que sentarte y aprender de alguien que se preocupa por ti en un aula segura y con aire acondicionado. No tienes excusas.

[Insurrection Barbie @DefiyantlyFree]

Martina McBride and every other entertainer who won’t honor their country at its 250th birthday celebration just outed themselves as privileged, petulant ungrateful people.

Oh you don’t like who the President is but you won’t honor America on its birthday? The country that gave you every single thing you have. Your fame, success, money.

So you only love this county when your team wins?

It’s a shameful display of privilege. No gratitude. No humility. No pride in your country.

You’re not hurting Trump or any of the other Americans who will proudly be celebrating that day. You’re just outing yourself as a thankless partisan coward.

"A ten-year-old started screaming about a wave no one could see—and 100 people lived because her parents believed her.
December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together.
Then Tilly noticed something wrong.
The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in.""
The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling.""
Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant.
Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely.
Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her.
She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!""
They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm.
But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic.
""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami.""
Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter.
By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said.
Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately.
Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die.""
They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare.
Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall.
Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something.""
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out.
But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died.
Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class.
Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide.
Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died.""
Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family.""
Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives.
That's the power of education.

More like the entire decade since Trump was elected. Kerr, Popovich, Rivers…they’re all the same. Sadly.

BREAKING: President Trump announces that 9/11 hero Welles Crowther will posthumously receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Known as “The Man in the Red Bandana,” Crowther repeatedly ran back into the South Tower on 9/11 to help others escape, saving as many as 18 lives before losing his own.

Allison Crowther said her son’s legacy continues to endure nearly 25 years later: “Welles’ light still shines brightly.”

“The difference between a life that sounds like music and a life that sounds like noise is whether you stop and listen.

Whether you're honest enough to listen for which string has drifted out of tune. And humble enough to make the adjustment. Instead of just turning up the volume and hoping nobody notices.

Because you will notice. The part of you that knows what the chords should sound like will always notice.”

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S…

How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior.

I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S.

Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight.

If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day…

WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products?

The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation.

WHY aren’t more people upset about this?

The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

[Jamie Kennedy @JamieKennedy]

I owe an apology to every NUN who taught me throughout my formative school years. I would gladly take the finger pointing, poking, ruler waving and ear pulling ANYDAY, compared to the radicalized school teachers we have today. You were tough, you were intense and you were aggressive but you taught me to be accountable, respect of elders and when to listen. For that I thank you! 🙏.

[Glenn Beck @glennbeck]

We are in a propaganda war. The video of Pete Hegseth “quoting a fake bible verse" from Pulp Fiction is yet another example. The original post came from RUSSIAN media and was then amplified by a Turkish psy-op account until it was picked up by major U.S. outlets. It didn't include the additional context that Hegseth said he was "badly paraphrasing Ezekiel."

Outside forces are using social media to build outrage amongst the American people. WAKE UP. The war isn’t just in the Middle East. It’s in your hand every time you open social media.

🚨#BREAKING: Father of 22-year-old Logan Federico is screaming at Democrats in Congress after his daughter was dragged from bed, forced on her knees, and executed...

...by a man arrested 39 TIMES with 25 FELONIES!!!

We need to hold judges & DAs responsible for releasing vicious murderers on innocent victims.

Everyone who let this demon walk freely, should be in prison.
