“A lot of people hate Trump, and that's fine. But if you're watching a news network that refuses to air the president of the United States, they're not giving you a chance to think for yourself. They're telling you what to think.”

Couldn’t be more true!! If you hate Trump and watch the news, you’ve probably been programmed 🎯

@CarolynWRockey Kids are the BEST !!! I love this story!!

[Carolyn Rockey @CarolynWRockey]

Jo Nagai was raising swallowtail butterflies at his home in Kobe, Japan, when he noticed something odd. The ones he had looked after as caterpillars seemed to recognize him. Wild butterflies fled. His didn't.
He was in second grade. He wrote a four-page letter to Dr. Martha Weiss, an entomologist at Georgetown University who had studied whether moths could retain memories through metamorphosis. He asked if she could help him design a version of her experiment for butterflies.
She said yes.
Using a muscle therapy device, Jo trained caterpillars to associate the scent of lavender with a mild vibration. When the caterpillars became butterflies, 70 per cent of them still avoided the lavender. Their brains had been completely rebuilt during metamorphosis. The memory survived anyway.
Then he bred them.
The offspring, which had never been trained, also avoided lavender. So did their grandchildren. Without ever experiencing the vibration, two generations of butterflies inherited an aversion to a scent their grandmother had been taught to fear.
Jo documented it all in a 33-page research paper and presented his findings at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe in 2024. He was 10.
A second grader wrote a letter to a Georgetown professor, and together they found evidence that butterflies can pass memories down through generations.

Joe Rogan says he no number believes in charities and that they’re a scam

“I used to think that charity was real, and now I look at it and I go, ‘Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no.’ This is a giant scam that's wrapped up in virtue”

“It's wrapped up in a nice cozy blanket of being kind and compassionate and virtuous and doing good things for people all around the world." — And then they find out how it really works… — some of them are making $1 million a year. And you're like, what is this? Yeah, what is this?

This is a business. This isn't really charity. Most of the money is going to your employees and your overhead. And why do you have such a big building? Like, what are you doing?”

It’s all a scam. Just look at these salaries of “charities”

Here are just 5 high paid charity nonprofit CEOs I found in the US

- Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, $6,979,162 (Selwyn Vickers)
- City of Hope & Affiliates, $5,460,799 (Robert W. Stone)
- American Heart Association, $4,563,563 (Nancy Brown)
- Shriners Hospitals for Children, $4,000,753 (John McCabe, Executive VP)
- National Jewish Health, $3,945,101 (Michael S. Salem)

Again the is only the CEO salary per year, then you add on everyone else’s salaries

It’s all a scam. These are really for profit companies funneling all the money into salaries and massive facilities like palaces. End the nonprofit loophole

Even smaller nonprofits like the San Diego Humane Society take in $72 million and spend $43 million on salaries, they pay their CEO $40,000 per month

Again, it’s what a scam

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

This American family has a property that’s over 100 acres large

He wanted to built a treehouse, the county told him it needed to be a specific size, so he built it that size

Th country is now saying it’s considered the primary residence on the property and won’t let them build another house….. again they own 100 acres….

The reason is, is because they have an ordinance structure that says you can’t build the secondary home before the first home (and now the treehouse is considered a home)

The only workaround is to pay thousands of dollars for surveyors to draw an invisible line, divide up the property so it’s now technically a separate property so they can built their primary house

The government is too big. This is the insane bureaucracy of the American government in action

They also said he couldn’t live in the treehouse until the other property is completed…. A home that he built on his own property

This is insanity

This guy fights an ALPR ticket with the kind of words that only come from experience

Take a look at him. He’s an Everyman. He’s not a great orator, he’s dressed like he just got off work, but he went and did it. He spoke his piece. He exercised his first amendment right to a redress of grievances.

So should we ALL

@AmericanAir On May 20, 2026, Flight AA2906 (BNA to CLT, Gate C8, Seat 22B, Confirmation EMWJWD) was held at the gate for over an hour due to a broken jet bridge owned by the City of Charlotte.

No water was offered. No airport rep came aboard. The fix: towing to a new gate, was available the whole time and not initiated until passengers pushed back.

Requested resolution:
1. Retraining of flight attendants to communicate in non-threatening way to passengers.
2. AAdvantage miles or travel credit as a goodwill gesture
3. A review of CLT protocols so the tug option is deployed faster in future jet bridge failures

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

Tech has the fewest assholes per capita. Politics has the most

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

And then there’s vaccine spokesperson Paul Offit, often seen on CNN and other mainstream networks.

Kennedy shared an infuriating story about how he literally “voted himself rich” on the rotavirus vaccine.

While serving on the CDC’s ACIP committee, Offit voted to add rotavirus vaccination to the childhood schedule—even as he was developing his own competing vaccine. He guaranteed demand for his product.

The first approved rotavirus vaccine, RotaShield, was yanked from the market for causing dangerous intussusception. Offit’s vaccine, RotaTeq, eventually replaced it.

He and his partners later sold their rights to Merck for $186 million. As RFK Jr. said, Offit literally “voted himself rich.”

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

When Carlson mentioned Fauci, Kennedy revealed how Fauci funded research that helped scientists hide evidence of lab-made viruses.

The technique, called “seamless ligation,” allowed researchers to engineer viruses in a lab without leaving telltale genetic fingerprints.

RFK Jr. explained:

“One of his fundees, Ralph Baric, from the University of North Carolina, developed a technique called the seamless ligation technique, which is a technique for hiding the laboratory origins of a manipulated virus.”

“… normally if there’s a virus manipulated, researchers can look at the DNA sequences and they can say this thing was created in a lab. Ralph Baric had developed a technique that he called the no-see technique and its technical name was seamless ligation, and it was a way of hiding evidence of human tampering.”

He called it the exact opposite of what real public health work should be. Carlson cut in, saying, “That’s what you would do if you’re creating viruses for biological warfare.”

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

RFK Jr. then explained the real reason why your pediatrician will kick you out of their practice for refusing vaccines.

“There’s a published article out there now that says that 50% of revenues to most pediatricians come from vaccines.”

It’s all about the money. The higher the vaccination rate, the bigger the bonus.

“And that’s why your pediatrician, if you say I want to go slow on the vaccines… will throw you out of his practice because you’re now jeopardizing that bonus structure.”

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

It’s not every day an active HHS Secretary sits down for 90 minutes straight with Tucker Carlson.

But that’s exactly what happened, and Kennedy instantly seized Carlson’s attention with a chilling story of CDC corruption.

He revealed that the health agency buried a 1999 internal study led by researcher Thomas Verstraten, which showed an alarming 1135% increase in autism risk from the hepatitis B vaccine.

Kennedy said the researchers were “shocked” by the findings.

So what did they do? They covered it up, according to Kennedy.

“They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are too young to be diagnosed [with autism].”
