We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.
Japan has vending machines that do something no other country thought of.
When a major earthquake hits, they switch themselves to free.
One remote signal from the operator, and thousands of machines
across the disaster zone start giving away
every drink inside. Water, tea, juice. Push a button, it's yours.
They're called disaster-relief vending machines.
There are hundreds of thousands of them,
quietly standing on street corners,
marked and mapped, waiting for the worst day.
Some have built-in message boards for evacuation info.
Some have batteries to keep working through blackouts.
Think about the design philosophy for a second.
A vending machine exists to take money.
Japan looked at it and asked:
"What should this machine do
on the day money stops mattering?"
And then they built the answer. In advance.
By the hundreds of thousands.
This is the country where nobody looted after the 2011 tsunami.
People stood in line. In the rubble. Quietly.
Turns out even the machines
were designed with the same instinct:
when everything falls apart,
take care of each other first.
Even the robots here have manners.
I had to read this three times before I could believe it was real.
Rotherham. A small town in northern England.
For sixteen years, at least 1,400 children — some as young as eleven — were raped, gang-raped, and trafficked between cities by organized groups of men.
Eleven years old.
Petrol was poured on them so they would stay quiet.
Their families were threatened with death.
Photos were taken and used as blackmail.
The police knew.
The council knew.
The social workers knew.
For sixteen years, not one of them moved.
Why?
Because officers were afraid of being called racist if they acted on what they were seeing.
That was the whole reason.
While children were being sold, adults were protecting their own reputations.
That is the moment something in you breaks.
And here is the part that makes it worse.
The TV networks did not report it. The papers did not chase it.
When the journalist Andrew Norfolk finally broke the story, even he thought maybe 150 girls had been hurt.
The real number was 1,400.
He was staggered.
This should have been the biggest story of the decade. It was not.
The networks looked away. The advertisers preferred safer topics.
The cover-up did not end when the report was published — it continued in the silence of every newsroom that refused to chase it.
Then Elon Musk bought X.
The advertisers fled.
The press declared the platform finished.
X almost did not survive.
But it did.
And on X, the names of those towns started trending.
Rotherham.
Telford.
Rochdale.
Oldham.
Towns the country had been told to forget.
Britain understands itself differently today.
Not because the politicians confessed.
Not because the broadcasters apologized.
Because one platform refused to let it stay buried.
X almost did not survive.
1,400 children almost stayed forgotten.
That is worth saying out loud.
A village in Japan sells tickets to the dark.
Achi Village, deep in the mountains of Nagano.
In 2006, Japan's Ministry of the Environment
measured night skies across the country
and declared this the number one place
in Japan to see the stars.
The village took that title
and built something wonderful with it.
Every night, a gondola carries you
up the side of a mountain.
Fifteen minutes, rising 2,000 feet,
the lights of the valley
shrinking below you like spilled jewelry.
At the top, 4,600 feet up,
you find a mountaintop full of people
lying on blankets, waiting.
Then comes the countdown.
Ten. Nine. Eight.
Everyone counts together.
Three. Two. One.
And the village turns off
every single light on the mountain.
The crowd gasps. Out loud. Every night.
Because the Milky Way doesn't fade in.
It slams in. A river of light
from horizon to horizon,
thousands of stars arriving all at once,
so many that people instinctively
grab the arm of whoever they came with.
A guide's voice walks you
through the constellations in the dark.
Twenty dollars a ticket. Bring a blanket.
At that altitude it's cool
even in the middle of August,
which after a Japanese summer day
feels like a gift with a bow on it.
Two hundred years ago,
every human on Earth owned this view.
Achi Village just kept theirs safe.
And they'll share it with you
for the price of a pizza.
In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!
I needed to move a sofa.
I mentioned this to an American. He said, "You know anybody with a truck?"
I did not know anybody with a truck.
He looked at me with real concern. Not pity. Concern. The way you look at a man who has told you he does not have a name.
"You gotta know somebody with a truck."
I asked how one acquires such a person.
He said, "You just do."
This is the third time I have received that answer in this country. It is the answer to everything here. You just do. There is no process. There is only the eventual fact of having.
He said, "Ask Kevin."
I do not know a Kevin. He said Kevin like I should. He said it the way you say a shared uncle.
I met Kevin four days later. Kevin owns a truck. Kevin does not own a truck for himself. Nobody owns a truck for themselves. Kevin owns a truck for a fifteen mile radius.
Inside I said: THIS MAN HAS TAKEN A VOW. HE DID NOT ANNOUNCE IT. HE SIMPLY PURCHASED A BED AND ACCEPTED THE CONSEQUENCES.
Kevin arrived on Saturday. He brought the truck. He also brought a second man.
I had not asked for a second man.
The second man's name is Tony. Tony came because Kevin came. Tony did not know me. Tony did not ask what we were moving. Tony brought gloves.
They moved the sofa in eleven minutes.
I offered them money. Both of them laughed at the same time, which felt rehearsed and was not.
I asked what I owed them.
Kevin said, "Buy the pizza."
That is the price. That is the entire economy. The truck costs one pizza and the pizza is not negotiable and the pizza is also not expensive and everyone knows what size.
Inside I said: THE FEE IS FIXED ACROSS THE ENTIRE NATION AND WAS SET BY NO ONE.
We ate on the floor because the sofa was against the wall and none of us wanted to be the first to sit on it.
Tony told me his daughter plays soccer. I asked if she is good. He said, "She's aggressive."
I still think about that.
Three weeks later, Kevin texted me.
"You free Sunday? Helping Tony move a fridge."
He did not ask if I wanted to. He informed me of a fridge.
Inside I said: I HAVE BEEN CALLED UP. I DID NOT ENLIST. THE PAPERS WERE FILED ON MY BEHALF.
I went. I moved the fridge. I have no truck. I contributed only arms.
Afterward, a man I had never met asked me if I knew anybody with a truck.
I said, "Yeah, I got a guy."
I have a guy.
I am somebody's guy now, too. Tony has told two people about me.
He describes me as "the guy who's strong for his size."
I have never been prouder of a sentence in my life.
July 2020. Steps of the Supreme Court. America’s Frontline Doctors stood in white coats and told the American people the truth the regime did not want spoken:
COVID was treatable.
Early treatment worked.
Nobody needed to die.
Lockdowns were never necessary.
We were censored within hours. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube erased the video. Careers were destroyed. Doctors were threatened. Patients were denied the medicine that could have saved them.
They called us dangerous.
They were the danger.
History has already rendered its verdict. We were right. They lied. And the people paid the price in lives, liberty, and lost years.
Watch it. Share it. Bookmark it.
Never let them memory-hole what they did.
The truth was never the threat.
Their power was.
@VCain99108@louis_patriot@hodgetwins Oh really? How are you so knowledgeable and I'm so ignorant? You know if this were the case they could just leave right?
@louis_patriot@hodgetwins@VCain99108 Millions of Muslims live in Israel, raise their families in peace with their Israeli neighbors. Count how many Jews live in or are even welcome to travel to Muslim countries. Hard to believe it's not Jewblimophovia.
I wasn’t happy when Clinton, Obama or Biden won, but I didn’t call them fascist/dangerous/threat to democracy. I didn’t hope someone would assassinate them. I went on with my life with gratitude. Friends on the left, please try this. Your life and our country will be better.
@IranArmyStan Iran who? Who is representing Iran and how long until they go boom? But even if "Iran" said it, so what? Israel for sure has never gotten a drop of oil from Iran, at least since 1979, and the US doesn't need it. So fine, this means nothing.
We voted for a real man, not a fraud or a lifetime career politician. We get to see, HRC and Barry being their smug selfs, but the ending of this clip is beautiful. 🇺🇸🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I’m still trying to process what just happened.
The highest ranking US intelligence official, just released smoking gun docs proving that Obama and his underlings committed treason/sedition.
Meaning Trump was right about everything, the news is fake, and the Deep State is real.
@dbongino Do you think he really doesn't know? I heard a fairly believable opinion that he's always been just a face, never had any power, never even knew what the hell was going on. Maybe
