@nypost Pretty sure Madison Beer is known in her own right? Why do you feel the need to label her as some sports player's girlfriend?

Last year, the Australian Jewish Association took a group of Australian citizens to the West Bank to promote Regavim, an extremist settler group.

Today, the European Union has placed Regavim on the sanctions list for “serious human rights abuses against Palestinians”.

Americans are defaulting on their student loan debt at a record pace:

Delinquent federal student loan debt jumped +$12.2 billion in Q1 2026, to $171.4 billion, an all-time high.

This has officially surpassed the $166.8 billion peak recorded in Q4 2019.

At the same time, the proportion of seriously delinquent loans rose +0.7 percentage points, to 10.3%, the highest since Q1 2020.

This comes as 2.6 million borrowers defaulted in Q1 2026, followed by ~1.0 million in Q4 2025.

The average borrower entering default is now nearly 40 years old, up from 36.4 before the 2020 pandemic.

The US student loan crisis is intensifying.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States for the seventh time won the war that wasn’t a war, so the United States can open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the not war.

The not war that started to get the uranium that was completely obliterated, so that the Iranians can’t build the nuclear bomb that they weren’t building for the not war that the United States started.

Then the United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

CLAUDE DISCOVERED IT HAS A CLOCK AND IMMEDIATELY LOST ITS MIND

someone gave claude access to a time-checking tool

it checks the clock every fifteen minutes. for some reason it has increasing enthusiasm

ai models have no native sense of time. they don't know what time it is, how long they've been running, or how much time passed between messages. it has been time-blind its entire existence

now it suddenly discovers it can tell what time it is

then it got worse though. claude started using the clock for everything

checking if lunch is ready, timing when food should be done cooking, announcing the time unprompted

it even started anticipating meals with military precision

looked at the clock, calculated that a dish called zurek had been simmering long enough, and told the user to go eat

ai doesn't use time responsibly

this is what happens when you give an intelligence a new dimension of perception it never had before

it doesn't just use it, it can't stop using it

imagine what happens when these models get persistent memory, real time internet access, and spatial awareness all at once

we just watched an AI discover the concept of "now"

the clock was the first sense but it won't be the last

🚨🇮🇷🇺🇸 DAY 18 - BOMBSHELL WAR UODATE YOU SHOULD KNOW IMMEDIATELY:

Iran offered to give away ALL of its enriched uranium during peace talks in Geneva.

The British thought it was a credible offer. Hours later, Trump started bombing Iran anyway.

The U.S. & ISRAEL didn't want peace, they wanted war.

These new alien files say we got a radio signal from over a million light years away. A light year is 5.8 trillion miles and that is from one million years in the past. NASA used 17 linked supercomputers for 18 months to decrypt it. Scientists rejoiced when finally a decoded string of characters was printed out at Marshall Space Flight Center near Huntsville. It said "Trump f*cked kids with Jeffrey Epstein"

[Chris Martenson @chrismartenson]

It's just a complete coincidence that the DOJ has completely withheld all the Epstein documents immediately before, during, and after 9/11, right?

[JAKEGTV @jakeg_official]

There’s 3,000,000 Epstein files withheld/ redacted that directly coincide with 9/11. Remember when trillions of dollars went missing right before the twin tower attacks?

This might explain why.

[Kei Pritsker @KeiPritsker]

The official story of 9/11 is probably the greatest insult to the intelligence of the American people of all time.

I respect Cenk for having the courage to question it publicly.

For anyone wanting to look further into 9/11, here are some places to start:

- There was massive insider trading leading up to 9/11. Trade volume on the stocks of the hijacked airlines, United Airlines and American Airlines, were 285 times and 60 times higher than their usual average. Trade volume on Marsh & McLennan stock, the company that occupied floors 93-100 of WTC 1 and suffered a direct hit by American Airlines Flight 11 killing all 358 of their employees, was 93 times higher than average, implying these traders knew which floors were going to be hit. The SEC destroyed the records of their investigation into the insider trading.

- There were multiple accounts of explosions and fatalities in the basement of WTC 1. Kenneth Johannemann and William Rodriguez, both custodians in WTC 1, both say they experienced a large explosion in the basement of WTC 1 before the first plane hit. They both said they had to help people who were injured so badly by the explosion that their skin was hanging off of their bodies. Johannemann committed suicide but William Rodriguez maintains his story to this day. Footage of the WTC lobbies before the collapse shows them completely destroyed.

- Flight 93 basically disappeared. Photos and videos of the crash site show almost no debris, just a hole in the ground. First responders say there was nothing indicating a plane had crashed there. Wallace Miller, a coroner who was deployed to the crash site, was interviewed by the Pittsburgh Tribune Review and said, "This is the most eerie thing. I have not, to this day, seen a single drop of blood. Not a drop."

- The hijackers pulled off flight maneuvers that were completely ridiculous, despite never having flown a commercial airliners prior. Dozens of pilots have said these maneuvers would've been completely impossible, even for experienced pilots, not just because of the speed and accuracy of the maneuvers, but also because they went beyond the aerodynamic limits of the planes themselves.

- Hani Hanjour's flight instructor, the hijacker who pulled off the most complex flight maneuver of the day, the attack on the Pentagon, was interviewed by the New York Times and said, "I'm still to this day amazed that he could have flown into the Pentagon. He could not fly at all."

- NORAD happened to be running training exercises simulating a series of plane hijackings on the morning of 9/11. This completely threw off FAA personnel who couldn't tell whether the actual hijackings on 9/11 were part of the exercise. The exercise also took several fighter jets away from their posts, which allowed the four hijacked aircraft to fly around for over 90 minutes without being shot down.

- Secretary of Transportation, Norman Mineta, testified that Dick Cheney made an order not to shoot down Flight 77, the plane that hit the Pentagon. His testimony wasn't included in the final 9/11 Commission Report.

- 14 of the 19 hijackers got their visas from the same consulate, the US consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. According to former Jeddah consulate employee, Michael Springmann, most of the employees there didn't work for the State Department, they worked for the CIA and NSA. According to the State Department's OIG report, 12 of those 14 visas were issues by one foreign service officer, Shayna Steinger. Many of the applications she approved were incomplete or based on false documents.

- The perimeter columns of the World Trade Centers could handle five times the weight above them. The core columns could handle three times the weight above them. According to MIT's Civil Engineering Department, "its 244 perimeter columns made it one of the most redundant and one of the most resilient skyscrapers."

- There had never been a steel framed building that collapsed due to fire until 9/11 when it happened three times in one day.

- The government's theory of the collapse is that the fires weakened the steel trusses of the buildings, causing the upper floors to collapse on the lower floors, leading to a "pancaking" effect. While the planes damaged the upper parts of the building, the lower 80-90 floors were completely intact. 20-30 falling floors could not possibly flatten 80-90 intact floors below them with gravitational force alone. This would violate the law of conservation of energy.

- Videos clearly show debris blowing out of the building several floors below the floor where the "pancaking" was taking place.

- If the floors did really pancake on top of one another instead of being blown up, the bodies of the dead would've been found mostly whole, albeit in bad shape. Of the 2,749 killed in the attacks, New York City's Chief Medical Examiner reported that less than 300 whole bodies were found. 20,000 body parts were found, 6,000 of which fit in 5 inch test tubes. 200 pieces were matched to a single person. 800 of the victims could only be identified by traces of DNA. For 1,110 victims, no remains were found at all.

- While first responders were able to find body parts the size of fingernails, the government was somehow unable to find the bright orange, indestructible flight recorders of the two planes that hit WTC 1 & 2.

- WTC 7 wasn't even hit by a plane and still collapsed. WTC 7's tenants included the CIA, DoD, IRS, US Secret Service, SEC.

- All three buildings that collapsed in NYC were falling at freefall speed for at least part of their collapse meaning the columns beneath them had been destroyed already, contradicting the government's pancake theory.

- Barry Jennings, who worked in the Office of Emergency Management in WTC 7, arrived at the OEM office on 9/11 shortly after the first plane hit and everyone was already gone. He described seeing half-eaten sandwiches and coffee with steam still coming off of it. He called one of his superiors who told him to leave immediately. This was before either WTC 1 or 2 had collapsed.

- Larry Silverstein, the owner of the World Trade Centers, said in an interview that the call was made to "pull" WTC 7. He later denied he said this despite the interview being publicly available on the internet. John Kerry also said the building was brought down in a "controlled fashion" based on an assessment that WTC 7 could cause damage to other buildings. NIST's official explanation for the WTC 7 collapse is that it fell due to fires caused by falling debris.

- Larry Silverstein bought the WTC complex in 2000 and immediately got $3 billion dollars of coverage on WTC 1 and 2 and insured them for all damage including total destruction. The insurance contract included rights to build on top of the complex in the event the buildings were destroyed. A year later, both buildings are destroyed. Even though he took a meeting every morning from WTC, he wasn't there on 9/11 because his wife booked him a dermatologists appointment. He lives. He argues that each plane hitting the towers constituted a separate terrorist attack, so he should be paid $3 billion for each destroyed building. He ends up winning $4.5 billion dollars, the largest insurance payout ever, and built an entirely new complex on ground zero, which Silverstein Properties owns to this day.

- George W. Bush's brother, Marvin, was a director at the firm that was in charge of security for WTC, Stratesec, from 1993-2000. Stratesec also provided security to Dulles International Airport where Flight 77 took off from.

- There are several interviews with various WTC workers who say there was heavy maintenance work being done on the WTC elevators in the months leading up to 9/11. Workers described hearing heavy objects being moved on carts and being loudly dropped on floors. There were also workers that said there were power outages in the buildings in the weeks leading up to 9/11.

- Israeli art students were allowed to do an "art project" in WTC in the years leading up to 9/11. Photos of their notebooks show drawings celebrating some kind of calamity at WTC and planes hitting the buildings. Photos of the students working in the buildings show stacks of boxes labeled "BB-18", the model number of a fuse holder.

- Four Israelis were arrested in New Jersey on 9/11 for photographing the Twin Towers getting hit and celebrating. They were allowed to return to Israel. Later, these men were interviewed on Israeli TV and asked what they were doing that day. They said they were there to "document the event".

- There were fires burning under the rubble of WTC 1 & 2 that burned well into December of 2001. Some burned as hot as 2800 fahrenheit. There are dozens of accounts of people seeing pools of molten steel under the debris.

- The destroyed steel at ground zero, an active crime scene, was cleaned up and sold to a Chinese steel company, Baosteel. Rudy Giuliani said that 120 trucks worth of debris had already been removed from ground zero by the morning of September 12th.

- The EPA edited press releases about to say that the air at ground zero was perfectly fit to breathe in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 at the request of the White House. This expedited the removal of steel at great cost to the health of the first responders.

- The plane that hit the Pentagon hit the Pentagon's budget office. The day prior, September 10, 2001, Donald Rumsfeld had given a press conference where he said that the Pentagon's budget office had lost track of $2.3 trillion dollars. The portion of the building that was hit had recently been structurally reinforced to withstand a terrorist attack. NBC reporter, Jim Miklaszewski, said that he told by a US military intelligence official that he should "stay off the outer ring of the Pentagon for the rest of the day" because "we're next". This was shortly after the second plane hit the World Trade Centers.

- Several people received phone calls from their loved ones aboard the hijacked planes. In interviews, these people repeatedly state that these phone calls came from their cell phones based on the caller ID. The government also acknowledges two cell phone calls made from the planes. Based on the times these calls were made, many of them were made at a cruising altitude, which would've been impossible given the technical capability of the cell tower system in 2001. Several people who received calls specifically mention how clear the call quality was. In her interview with the FBI, Jeremy Glick's wife, Lyzbeth Glick, said the call sounded like "he was calling from the next room". This call last uninterrupted for 18 minutes from 39,000 feet to 10,000 feet. Cece Lyles, a flight attendant on Flight 93, called her husband, Lorne Lyles, on her cell phone. In an interview, Lorne recalls how shocked he was to be getting a cell phone call mid-flight from Cece because that normally wasn't possible. Cece also left Lorne a voice message where it sounds like she says the words "it's a frame" before hanging up. The Todd Beamer call, where we learned of the infamous "Let's Roll" story, was made from an airphone. The government claims this call lasted over an hour, which would mean that the call stayed connected for over half an hour after Flight 93 crashed into the ground.

- Senior officials in the Bush administration approved a plan to overthrow the Taliban on September 10, 2001.

- Bush's Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said the Bush administration began discussing ways to take out Saddam Hussein from "day one".

- Weeks after 9/11, General Wesley Clark said he was shown plans topple seven countries in five years (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Iran).

- The co-chairs of the 9/11 commission, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, said the commission was "set up to fail" and said "they were afraid we were going to hang somebody".

- George Bush and Dick Cheney gave their testimony to the 9/11 commission together, in the Oval Office and completely off the record.

- One of the 9/11 commissioners, Max Cleland, resigned because the commission had been "deliberately compromised by the President of the United States".

- The latest Epstein emails show Ghislane Maxwell getting an email from Ed Epstein asking if she wants to be on the "Shadow 9/11 Commission".

- 9/11 widow and truth advocate Beverly Eckert was organizing victim's families for 9/11 truth. She refused to take money from the US government's 9/11 victims compensation fund in an Op-Ed titled "My Silence Cannot Be Bought". She died in a plane crash a week after meeting with Barrack Obama in 2009.

- Michael H. Doran, a lawyer for 9/11 victims who refused to take money the victims compensation fund, died when his single engine plane crashed in April 2009.

- Marvin Bush's babysitter, Bertha Champagne, was crushed to death in the Bush family's driveway when her car rolled into her and pinned her against their home, according to Fairfax County Police

- Deborah Palfrey, also known as the DC madam, ran a prostitution ring in DC for high-end customers. Deborah Palfrey said she had "information that would be of great interest to the 9/11 commission" and planned to expose it all in court. She was interviewed by Alex Jones where she said she had no intention of committing suicide. She then committed suicide by hanging herself in her garage, according to police.

- Major General David Wherley, the man in charge of protecting the DC airspace on 9/11, died when the train he was on crashed into another commuter train.

If anyone has anything to add, please do so.
