There is only one strong argument against a possible Earth ring, namely it fully requires a geologically active Moon. But is the Moon dead? Not so sure.

On This Day — June 5, 1948

In April 1948, 22-year-old Robert F. Kennedy traveled through British Mandate Palestine & saw: Jerusalem had a clear Jewish majority & Arab forces were openly preparing to annihilate every Jew the moment the British left.

This day, one of his dispatches from the Land of Israel was published in the Boston Post, capturing the grim reality:

“The City of Jerusalem has more Jews than Arabs but the immediate surrounding territory is predominately Arab … It is by this road [from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem] that the Jewish population within Jerusalem must be supplied, but it is fantastically easy for the Arabs to ambush a convoy …”

He added with chilling detail:

“The Arabs … would poison [the water]. The Jews … had a central water system installed … Unfortunately for them, the reservoir is situated in the mountains and it and the whole pipeline are controlled by the Arabs.”

RFK saw British troops disarming Jewish convoys while thousands of Iraqi, Syrian, Lebanese, and Transjordanian Arab soldiers poured in unmolested.

He watched the Haganah fighting desperately to keep the Tel Aviv–Jerusalem road open — calling it “our battle of the Atlantic” — because without it, Jerusalem’s Jews would have been starved or slaughtered.

With brutal clarity, the young Bobby Kennedy documented what so many still deny today: the Jews were not the aggressors. They were fighting for their ancient homeland “as of right and not on sufferance,” rebuilding a desolate land while Arab forces and British obstruction tried to crush them.

A 22-year-old future U.S. Attorney General and Senator saw the truth with his own eyes: the Jews were simply the ones refusing to die.

@kaoru_creation Thank God for the Japanese. I am so sad today for the news on X. But you lift my heart, and I know that you never forget the two sides of everything.

In 1979, the mullahs tortured the Shah's favourite horse to death.

The horse, Azar, was paraded in the streets. They broke his legs, cut his tongue out, and then shot him in the head in front of a large crowd.

Iran is occupied by demons from hell.

Just a reminder that the ONLY Republican running for Mecklenburg County (Charlotte NC) District 1 dropped out of the race...

...BECAUSE NOT A SINGLE PERSON WAS ARRESTED FOR FIRING SHOTS AT HIS HOME WHILE HIS WIFE AND KIDS WERE INSIDE!!!!!

Local police SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the attack was targeted at Aaron Marin.

Bullet holes can be seen in trees, cars, mailbox, and his kid's basketball hoop. Marin's ENTIRE FAMILY was forced to leave their home and Aaron says they live in, "constant fear."

He says his kids no longer even feel safe to play outside and they are moving now.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY ZERO MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLET COVERED THIS??????!!!!!!

REPUBLICANS ARE LITERALLY BEING SHOT AT AND THERE IS SILENCE FROM THE MEDIA!!!!!!

WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!!!!!!

@SusieWiles47 God bless you, Susie. you are a big part of the victory. Do not give in. Think of Clarence Thomas. Do not give in.

Dear @McJuggerNuggets,

You just asked the world for empathy and sympathy because you aborted your unborn baby because you found out he had Downs Syndrome.

I'm not sure if this is some sick humiliation ritual, or you and your wife are simply dead inside, but I'd like to show you what you just ended for the sake of convenience:

Nobody asked them to do it. Nobody trained them for it. They were just two teenage boys — the kind you pass on the sidewalk and barely notice — leaning on their bikes in the summer heat when they saw something no child should ever have to experience.

A man walked away with 5-year-old Jocelyn Rojas. She was supposed to be playing outside. She was supposed to be safe.

And in that single, awful second — while most of us would have been paralyzed, reaching for a phone, waiting for someone with a uniform and a badge to show up — these two boys made a choice.

They got on their bikes and they went after him.

No hesitation. No waiting for permission. No "someone else will handle it." Just two pairs of legs pumping hard through the streets of Lancaster, eyes locked on a stranger who had a little girl that wasn't his.

They tracked him. They stayed close. They didn't let him disappear into the afternoon like something that was never going to be found.

And then they confronted him.

Two teenagers. On bikes. Against a grown man who had already done the unthinkable. They forced him to stop.

He let Jocelyn go.

"The entire thing lasted only minutes." — Lancaster Police
Minutes. Because two boys closed the distance fast enough to interrupt it. Because they were raised — by someone, somehow — to believe that other people's emergencies are your business too.

When reporters asked one of them afterward why they did it, he gave the most deflating, most beautiful, most teenage answer imaginable.

He shrugged.

"I just felt like it was the right thing to do."
No speech. No GoFundMe. No press conference. Just a kid who saw a little girl in danger and couldn't make himself look away.

Jocelyn went home. She was reunited with her family. She got to grow up.

Because of two boys on bikes who hadn't been asked, hadn't been trained, hadn't been paid — and did it anyway.

This is Siamak Honarkar.

On January 8, after disabling the cameras at a police station in Tehran and helping save the lives of hundreds of innocent people, he was shot dead with four bullets.

Remember his name.

Read this thread. I gave a possible identity to the SPLC plant in Charlottesville - and it's someone who was central to organizing Unite the Right, and also talked about running over protesters before the rally.

I'm pretty sure I nailed it. There's no one else in those transcripts who fits, especially after today's revelations.

Never was I told at CNN or Fox or now Newsmax WHAT TO SAY …I was shocked what I discovered at MSNBC but I just ignored them and did my job fairly, honestly and fact driven to the best of my ability for the shareholders and so Lack/Griffin fired me ..and Lack is now commenting on Pelly’s firing? You can’t make this stuff up!

@BCityEnjoyer @Holden114 They did have it, and then they did not use it. @lyndseyfifield . They were on a mission to anticipate and sanitize.

I bucked all advice from my friends (and resisted my conservative bias) and decided to fully trust the Times journalists.

As they left my home they asked that I not talk to any other outlets and I insisted then and repeatedly over the following weeks that I would keep my word and only share this story with them.

But then the weeks dragged on. They kept coming back to us saying the editors needed more. I needed to go on the record (okay). We need more screenshots (okay). I met every bench mark they set, eager to provide more sources or evidence as needed.

After the story went up I began to ask them … wait, where are the stories from the other women? Where are their accusations of sexual assault? Why am I the focus? Why are there 11 paragraphs dedicated to detailing my work history (more than has been published about Graham’s by far)?

Why does it say “nobody could corroborate” when I offered them sources that COULD corroborate?

Why did they include an out of context quote from a friend joking “do not call Graham” after I called off my wedding? (Because she knew I would never).

Where were the screenshots they’d said they would use? Or the mention that I’d supported local democrats and that most of my family (and husband) are liberal?

The editors said it was too much, they explained.

The Times also failed to include any mention that I DID confide in multiple friends through the years that Graham had been abusive — long before he was running for office. Those friends confirm they told the Times so.

It dawned on me that this really was a set up all along. The journalists I trusted who convinced me to share a story I never wanted to tell methodically delayed and twisted this into a gift to the Platner campaign. Violating the trust of his victims. Shattering the trust I placed in them with the most vulnerable story of my life.

And at the end of my call with them I reluctantly accepted their insistence that this was still a powerful story and that I had done a brave thing. And I thanked them for all the hard work they had put into it.

Still fawning after all these years.
