Neymar comprou para si um relógio de 1 milhão de dólares. Haaland comprou o livro mais valioso da História norueguesa e doou à biblioteca de sua cidade. Prioridades.

I’m really sick of that man-child’s shenanigans.

SCOOP O CLOCK- @FBIDirectorKash summoned to White House by frustrated Trunp advisers today . He had to cancel his jet trip to see his girlfriend play at a country music festival in Chicago - from the tarmac. Great @MSNOWNews team

Oh crap, I think I caught an infection living in Europe for four years. Today I had a horrible, un-American thought: “The air conditioning in this hotel really is too much.” St Willis Carrier, forgive me!

The answer is CONTROL. Some people cannot bear this kind of mystery, because it confronts them with facts that challenge their fear of the ultimate incomprehensibility of the world.

I expect some mocking and even hostile responses to this post. There is something in many people that actually angers them about such true stories of the uncanny. I wonder a lot about what that something is and where it comes from.

Whatever it is, it functions to keep us down.

The Pentagon released a 3rd batch of UFO files.

We enhanced a still from this UAP case:

Atlantic Ocean, 2020: 32 seconds of military infrared. NORTHCOM reported it, AARO couldn't resolve it - a "maroonish," 12-15 foot object that "traveled with the wind."

Dang, "Widow's Bay" gets better with each episode! I love how the protagonist (Matthew Rhys) is such a normie skeptic that even as the reality of supernatural evil is progressively revealed to him, he can't quite take it seriously ... causing more problems.

This was how I grew up, except we had more or less unlimited TV time. I usually preferred to be reading, though. Except for the magic time period between getting home from school and the 5pm news. Gilligan, Brady Bunch, Beaver, Hogan's Heroes, Jeannie -- a golden age for Gen X!

Nearly all of my close friends and colleagues are serious readers.

Their upbringings all had most of the following in common:

-their parents read to them from a very young age
-at least one parent, usually both, read habitually—maybe not always a book, but magazines, newspapers, etc.
-they were raised in homes surrounded by (physical) books, or at the very least had regular access to libraries or a book-covered home
-they had some sort of restriction on TV/screen time, perhaps informal, as in the case of several kids I knew who didn’t have rules about TV or computer time but were in practice restricted because their fathers played a lot of games or watched a lot of sports
-there were conversely few if any restrictions on the type of things they were allowed to read; comic books and/or lots of adult stories were (mostly) fine, even at a young age, and there wasn’t a heavy-handed expectation that they read difficult, “good-for-you” books. Eventually in most cases they tended to realize they wanted try those books themselves, because they came to think of themselves as serious readers

The formula seems pretty straightforward. Model being a reader. Give kids access to books. Don’t let them binge on screens. And let them explore books they like, even if those books are trashy or inappropriate, so that they understand that reading is both freeing and *pleasurable*—not something you do because it’s good for you.

If you are not willing to kill or die for your own most treasured values, you should think carefully before welcoming in migrants who would do both for theirs.

Hup Haaland hup!

Tells the boy to keep the style, ignore the haters.

Humble giant energy.

In Paris tonight, Moroccan migrants are physically attacking native French they wish to punish for being fans of the French national football team, which defeated Morocco today. This cannot go on forever.

[Rod Dreher @roddreher]

Utterly disgusting. At some point, and probably not too far into the future, there will be a reckoning. Europeans cannot live with such barbarians in their midst.

TERRIFYING: Moroccans in the Netherlands are blaming Jews for their defeat and gathering outside a place where they think Israeli tourists are staying. They chant:

“All Jews are fags! Hamas! Hamas! Send the Jews back to the gas chambers!”
