🚨 MEET THE FLUTE-PLAYING TERRORIST
Jonathan Hongru Zou.
22.
Ann Arbor.
Once upon a time, Jonathan was the gifted young flutist at Ann Arbor music events.
He looked like the type who’d apologize to his instrument if he played a wrong note.
Now, according to federal prosecutors, the same delicate hands that once floated over silver keys are allegedly out after dark throwing jars of blue sludge and rotting food compost through a bedroom window of the University of Michigan Provost’s home, then spray-painting Hamas death triangles all over it.
From flute recitals to federal indictments.
What happened, Jonathan?
I have truly awful news...
A 17-year-old Black male allegedly m*rdered an elderly White couple in their own home in rural Mississippi...
...and then opened fire on 4 sheriff's deputies AND AN INFANT!!!!
He shot at a BABY!!!
Their names were Billy and Virginia Blair. He was 74. She was 71.
They were high-school sweethearts and owned a tire shop together, their pastor called them "the sweetest couple," people who "loved the Lord."
In broad daylight, a 17-year-old broke into their home and m*rdered them both.
Police say the suspect opened fire on FOUR officers... and an INFANT at the scene.
All of them were hit.
By the grace of God, all miraculously survived.
The 17-year-old now faces 13 felonies, including TWO counts of capital m*rder.
A judge denied him bond.
Billy and Virginia Blair survived everything life threw at them for over 70 years...
...only to be murdered in the one place they should have been safest.
Their own home.
Say their names.
Billy and Virginia Blair.
In 2009, dozens of cedar waxwings dropped dead in a Georgia yard. A lab opened them up and found their stomachs packed with one thing: bright red berries picked off the shrub by the porch.
That shrub was nandina, sold all over the South as "heavenly bamboo."
It's not bamboo, but an Asian barberry relative, and its berries contain cyanide compounds. A bird that eats a few is usually fine. But cedar waxwings don't eat a few. They descend in flocks and strip plants bare, and in late winter, when those berries are one of the few foods left hanging, a whole flock can swallow a deadly dose in minutes.
The Georgia birds were found dead beneath the shrubs they had been feeding on. It's happened since, including more cedar waxwings found dead at UNC Chapel Hill.
The berries are also how the plant spreads. Birds eat the fruit and scatter the seeds. Nandina has escaped gardens into woods across much of the South, from Virginia to Texas.
It tolerates deep shade, which means it doesn't stop at the trail edge. It can establish in intact forests and crowd out native plants. State after state lists it as invasive. It's still sitting on the shelf at the big-box nursery.
It's easy to recognize. An upright evergreen shrub three to eight feet tall, with lacy leaves that turn red in cold weather, clusters of white flowers in spring, and bunches of glossy red berries that hang on all winter.
So yank it. Get the roots, because it resprouts. If you can't remove the whole thing this year, at least cut off every berry cluster before the birds find it.
Then plant something that actually feeds them: winterberry, American beautyberry, chokeberry, or native hollies.
The birds deserve better.
@elsathora In that store that item gets stolen a lot more than others and you must be in a city that does not prosecute low-level thieves, so the stores have to take precautions. It’s ridiculous and stupid as well to Americans. It’s called being lenient towards criminals.
Sepsis kills more people in American hospitals than heart attacks. 350,000 deaths a year, and the reason is brutally simple: the early warning signs are almost invisible.
A slightly elevated heart rate. A small temperature shift. A lab value drifting in the wrong direction. Each one looks like noise on a busy ward. By the time the pattern is obvious to a human, the patient is hours into a cascade toward organ failure, and every hour of delayed antibiotics raises mortality.
Tampa General built a system on Palantir's Foundry that watches roughly 1,000 inpatients continuously. Vitals, labs, medication records, clinician notes, all scanned in real time for the pattern no single nurse can see across 12 beds at 3am. When risk crosses a threshold, a rapid response team gets paged. Humans still make every treatment decision. The software just compresses detection from hours to minutes.
The results since 2022: overall sepsis mortality cut in half, 48-hour deaths down 68%, length of stay down 30%, roughly 900 lives saved. At one hospital.
Now run the national math. There are about 6,100 hospitals in the US. If even the 500 largest matched these numbers, you'd be looking at tens of thousands of lives a year from a single use case. The treatment for sepsis hasn't changed. Antibiotics and fluids, same as decades ago. The entire gain comes from starting them earlier.
The hardest problem in medicine was never the cure. It was noticing in time.
The Germans are revering Taco Bell.
The Swedes are dumbfounded by ranch.
The English have discovered the sun.
Just wait until the Europeans look up and see this ahead of Tunisia-Uzbekistan.
Endless lies. I never thought defunding the Taliban would be this difficult. John Thune can hold a vote tomorrow on the No Tax Dollars For Terrorists Act if he wants to.
Thank you for pushing back, @timburchett.

USA. A gas station register. I was three cents short, and what happened next has quietly ruined my life.
The cashier did not sigh. She did not wait. She reached into a small dish beside the register, took three pennies, and paid my debt with them. "There you go, hon."
I asked whose coins those were.
"Take a penny, leave a penny," she said, pointing at a sign, as if those six words explained the dish, the store, and the entire country.
A tiny treasury. Open. Unguarded. By the door. Fed by anyone, for anyone. No ledger. No guard. No interest.
Let me be clear about what occurred: I, the head of an eight-hundred-year house, was bailed out at a gas station by an anonymous dish.
I could not sleep that night. A debt is a debt. The dish had stood for me. I would stand for the dish.
I returned the next morning with three pennies, plus one for honor. The cashier said I didn't have to do that. I returned the day after with five more. She said, "Sir, it's a penny dish." By Friday she had stopped explaining and simply waved when I came in.
A man does not ask three cents to be nothing. He returns four, and keeps returning.
The dish is now full. She says it has never been so full. Other customers have started adding to it — possibly out of confusion, possibly because a full dish invites fullness. Yesterday a man took two pennies and left a quarter. The economy of the doorway is booming.
I borrowed three cents. The debt was small.
The honor was not.
The cashier calls me "the penny guy" now. I came to this country with one name, eight hundred years old. I have since been Banana, and now the penny guy. I answer to all of them. Of course I answer to all of them.
Michigan - these 8 domestic terrorists were indicted today by the federal government for reigning hell on the Jewish communities at U Michigan and surrounding areas.
The most troubling? Medical student Ahmet Korkaya who spoke about poisoning someone after becoming a doctor.

imminent domain is the biggest scam. It takes homes from hardworking Americans.

Anyone out there that can help?

Meet Mohamed J. Sagha.
Last year, he graduated from Montclair State University.
This week, he was arrested for providing ISIS material support to bomb a Synagogue.
How many more of these terrorists walk amongst us?
