Taylor referenced patterns across up to 7 swing states, including Wisconsin (WI), and emphasized that these were not isolated but part of a broader issue potentially affecting machines in 70% of US counties.

[PoliticsVideoChannel @politvidchannel]

NV seals it: Vegas and Reno precincts show similar "unnatural" spikes at 60%+. Trump's margin? Inflated by ~45K votes in key areas. Taylor overlays 2020 data: "No such patterns then. 2024? Algorithmic fingerprints. Total across three states: 300K+ shifted votes."

[PoliticsVideoChannel @politvidchannel]

NC next: Heat maps glow in Charlotte and Raleigh-Durham. Precincts over 65% turnout spike Trump by 10%+ in batches. Taylor: "Organic voting scatters randomly. This is patterned—like Dominion/ES&S modems syncing flips. Klimek models flag it as non-human."

[PoliticsVideoChannel @politvidchannel]

Data dive: Taylor's maps use precinct-level turnout vs. vote share. Normal: Scattered dots. PA anomalies: Clustered "walls" at 62%, 68%, 75% turnout thresholds where Trump surges 8-12%. "Enough manipulated votes to flip PA's 19 EVs from Trump to Harris," he claims. Audit demand surges.

[PoliticsVideoChannel @politvidchannel]

Zoom in on PA: In Philly suburbs and rural spots, turnout climbs organically to 55-60%... then BAM—over 60%, Trump's share jumps algorithmically. "Not voter enthusiasm," Taylor explains. "Linear regression models predict smooth curves. This? Step functions—like code injecting votes."

Taylor, a cybersecurity expert, rolls out heat maps showing "unnatural" turnout-vote patterns in PA, NC, NV. In PA, precincts over 60% turnout suddenly spike Trump votes—algorithmic, not organic. "Enough to flip the state," he says.

Jon Ossoff:

"There's one man who tried to commit election fraud in the state of Georgia in that 2020 election, and it was Donald Trump when he called up Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensburger. Do you all remember the call? And he demanded that Brad 'find him the exact number of votes he needed to win in a state' that he had lost. That was fraud. That was an attempt to throw out your votes to seize the presidency. So we have to expect that once again he will try to throw out our votes!"

BREAKING: INDICT HIM! Jared Kushner gets caught in a massive scandal as it's revealed that Iran warned the U.S. that he was abusing his negotiating role to line his and his cronies' pockets with $9 BILLION!

We suspected it, now we have the smoking gun...

According to bombshell reporting from Drop Site News, Iranian officials sent a private message to JD Vance in late June warning him that Trump’s Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and his corrupt son-in-law Jared Kushner were endangering the viability of negotiations to end the war.

The message revealed that Witkoff and Kushner were "more interested in exploiting insider knowledge of the negotiations to profit in financial markets than they were in reaching a deal." That characterization tracks with what we know about the two men, because neither has ever displayed any genuine interest in obtaining peace in the region.

We also know that there has been a troubling trend of Trump administration officials using insider knowledge about forthcoming government decisions and announcements to rake in massive fortunes through betting markets and stock market speculation. They're treating government like a casino, accumulating massive fortunes, and leaving the rest of us to deal with the fallout from their disastrous policies.

"Iran calculated profits from such alleged manipulation had reached $9 billion and formally requested, in writing, that Iran should share in the proceeds," Jeremy Scahill and Ryan Grim of Drop Site reported.

“We have conveyed through intermediaries that $4.5 billion of this sum should also be allocated to the Iranian side,” an Iranian official stated. “The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record.”

Not only that, but the Iranians were concerned about "repeated leaks" from Kushner to indicted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, an unsurprising trend given the "Israel First" nature of this administration.

“Even before the Islamabad talks kicked off [in April], we had already sent multiple messages to Trump through the Pakistanis, warning them about [Witkoff’s] overall destructive role in the previous negotiation,” the Iranian official said

When efforts to arouse the White House's concern about Witkoff's and Kushner's machinations failed, the Iranians reached out to Vance through intermediaries.

Vance's team insists that the message never reached the vice president, but given his demonstrated penchant for lying — and the fact that he would have never dared challenge Kushner for fear of alienating Trump — it's safest to presume that they're lying.

In any other era, this kind of scandal would bring down an entire presidency and lead to massive investigations and prosecutions. Under Trump, it's just accepted as par for the course.

But we need not accept this as the status quo.

When Democrats retake power, we must launch a well-funded forensic investigation into Kushner and the rest of these crooks, uncover their crimes, and lock them up for the maximum amount of time possible.

Please ❤️ and share if you support prosecuting Kushner!

@bryanbehar Agree! I feel he has grown into that Presidential voice...absolutely!

[Bryan Behar @bryanbehar]

Remember that feeling when you 1st heard Barack Obama and thought, “I might be crazy, but that guy could be President?”

Even though he’s a relative newcomer to the national scene.

Even though others are the presumed frontrunners.

Yeah, that’s how I’m feeling about Jon Ossoff.

[The Hormuz Report @HormuzReport]

BREAKING: Iran sent a private message to JD Vance during Switzerland talks, warning that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff were "abusing" negotiations — more interested in profiting from insider knowledge than reaching a deal, per Drop Site News.

Iran calculated $9 billion in profits from market manipulation by "individuals close to Trump" — and formally requested $4.5 billion of that sum be allocated to Iran through intermediaries. The Iranian official added: "The exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record."

Iran also raised concerns that Kushner and Witkoff "talk almost every day to Netanyahu" and the Mossad chief — feeding Israeli intelligence with inside information from the negotiations.

The Trump administration denies the claims. Iran says the evidence will be made public. If confirmed, this is one of the most significant financial scandals in modern diplomacy.

A Japanese immunologist spent 20 years proving that the chemicals trees release into the air walk into your bloodstream, hunt down your stress hormones, and arm your immune system in ways no therapist or pharmaceutical has ever matched, and most of the data has been sitting in Japanese medical journals for two decades waiting to be translated.

His name is Qing Li.

He is a clinical professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo and the president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine. The Japanese government has been funding his research since 2004, and the body of work he has produced is the reason forest bathing is now an officially prescribed clinical therapy in Japan and Korea.

The story actually starts in 1982, when the Japanese Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries coined the term shinrin-yoku to describe the practice of slow, mindful walking in a forest. They did it for a practical reason.

Japan was urbanizing fast, stress-related illness was climbing, and the country had thousands of square kilometers of forest sitting unused. The idea was to give people a reason to walk into the trees... They had no idea what was actually happening to the human body during those walks until Qing Li ran the first proper experiment in 2005.

He took twelve healthy adult men on a three-day, two-night trip to a forest park. They walked for a few hours each day. Nothing strenuous. No prescribed routes or breathing exercises. They simply walked slowly through the trees, breathing the air, looking at the forest.

Li drew blood and urine samples before the trip, on the second day, on the third day, on day seven after returning home, and again on day thirty.

The numbers that came back from the lab were not what anyone expected.

The activity of a specific type of immune cell called the natural killer cell, which is the cell your body uses to hunt down cancer cells and virus-infected cells before they can spread, had jumped by roughly 50 percent during the forest trip. The actual number of natural killer cells circulating in the bloodstream had increased significantly.

Three different anti-cancer proteins that those cells produce, called perforin, granzymes, and granulysin, had all risen sharply. And the effect did not disappear when the men went home. The immune boost was still measurable on day seven and was still partially present on day thirty.

Two hours a day in a forest had upgraded the immune system for a full month.

Li ran the same experiment with women a year later and found nearly identical results. Then he ran it with a control group who took a three-day trip through an urban area with the same amount of walking, the same hotel quality, and the same diet.

The urban group showed no measurable change in natural killer cell activity at all. The forest was doing the work, not the vacation.

The mechanism turned out to be a class of airborne molecules called phytoncides. Trees produce these compounds to defend themselves against insects, bacteria, and fungi. Pine, cedar, oak, and cypress trees release them in particularly large amounts, especially in warmer weather and after rainfall.

When you walk through a forest, you are inhaling those molecules into your lungs and absorbing them through your skin, and once inside your body they appear to directly stimulate the production and activity of the very immune cells Li was measuring in his lab.

Roughly 50 percent of the health benefit of a forest walk, according to Li's data, comes from the chemistry of the air itself. The other half comes from what the forest is doing to your nervous system.

This is where it stops being only about the immune system and starts being about stress.

A separate Japanese research team measured cortisol, the body's main stress hormone, in 84 participants across 35 different forest sites. They drew samples before and after a 30-minute walk in each forest and compared them to control walks in matched urban environments. The cortisol levels of the people who walked in the forest were lower than the cortisol levels of the people who walked in the city by a significant margin. Their heart rates were lower. Their blood pressure was lower.

The activity of their parasympathetic nervous system, which is the part responsible for rest and recovery, had gone up. The activity of their sympathetic nervous system, which is the part that drives fight or flight, had gone down.

Then a researcher at the University of Michigan named MaryCarol Hunter ran the cleanest version of this experiment ever done. She recruited participants from a city and told them to take a nature pill three times a week for eight weeks.

They were free to choose the time, the place, and the duration of the nature experience, as long as it was outside, in daylight, and free of phones, conversations, and aerobic exercise. They sent her saliva samples before and after each session so she could measure cortisol changes accurately and rule out the normal daily drop in stress hormones that happens to everyone.

The result was that participants experienced a 21.3 percent drop in cortisol per hour spent in nature, with the biggest payoff happening between minutes 20 and 30 of the walk.

After that, the cortisol kept dropping, but more slowly. The threshold dose for measurable stress relief was just 20 minutes outside in something that looked and felt like nature.

What none of this means is that nature is a substitute for therapy or for medication when someone genuinely needs them. Therapy treats different things than a walk does, and Li himself has been careful in interviews to call forest bathing a complementary intervention rather than a replacement for clinical care.

But what the research has settled is that the human body has a physiological response to being among trees that operates on the same biological systems modern medicine is trying to reach with drugs and clinical protocols, and that response is fast, measurable, and free.

The strangest part of Li's work is the implication he keeps repeating in interviews. The average person now spends more than 90 percent of their life indoors. Their cortisol stays elevated. Their natural killer cells stay sluggish.

Their parasympathetic nervous system rarely gets a chance to take over. The system that was tuned by millions of years of life under a canopy of trees is being asked to run permanently inside a box made of drywall and screens.

Your body has not forgotten what it is supposed to do in a forest. It is waiting for you to walk into one.

Novak Djokovic on his loss to Fonseca at Roland Garros, ‘It was just amazing from his side… I don’t think I’ve done too much wrong with my game. He was just better’

“Incredible match to be part of. Tough one for me to lose being two sets to love up. But huge credit for João for really deserving to win the match. He without a doubt was the better player in the important moments, in those crucial 4th and 5th… some amazing exchanges and points and he just found incredible shots, lines. It was just amazing from his side. Obviously not great for me to be facing a player playing such a level. I don’t think I’ve done too much wrong with my game. He was just better.”
