Thereโs been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does whatโs right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesnโt lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.
Hunter Biden was the most written about ''failed son'' in America, and then in one week he stopped being written about and started writing the story himself.
For a decade the narrative belonged to everyone but him. The laptop. The addiction. The business deals. The conviction. The pardon that hung over his name like a verdict that never finished. Reporters built careers on his collapse. He stayed quiet and took it.
Then in late May he logged back onto X and something flipped.
His posts started pulling millions of views within days. The man the world had written off was suddenly setting the news cycle in real time. The same reporters who covered his downfall now refreshed his timeline for material.
He didn't apologize for the past. He didn't beg for sympathy. He just started talking, and people couldn't stop listening.
The lowest card in the deck turned the entire table. The president he'd been defined by even got asked about him in the Oval Office.
Sometimes the person everyone counted out isn't finished. They're just waiting for the room to go quiet so they can finally speak for themselves.
Blow: The is a news show on a news channel and I have an ethical responsibility to say you are lying.
Lambert: Do not call me a liar on national TV sir! You are a liar!
Blow: You are liar.
Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
King Charles reminds Trump and MAGA that NATO invoked Article 5 for the first time after 9/11, when all alliance members came to the aid of the United States.
โToday, Mr. Speaker, that same unyielding resolve is needed for the defense of Ukraine and her most courageous people,โ the king said, receiving a standing ovation๐บ๐ธ๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ฆ
