Anyone wondering why I'm criticizing Israel a lot today...
Your Defense Minister just said this:
"We have flattened the entire first line of villages in southern Lebanon, all the houses have been destroyed. The residents will never see them standing ever again. The 200,000 Lebanese residents who were in the 'security zone' are never returning again. Not one of them will ever return to southern Lebanon"
Your Minister of National Security said this:
"For every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers must weep. All of Lebanon must burn."
And that's just today. You think this is normal?
Love is a temporary madness,
it erupts like volcanoes and then
subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision.
You have to work out whether your
roots have so entwined together
that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is.
Love is not breathlessness,
it is not excitement,
it is not the promulgation of eternal
passion.
That is just being "in love" which any fool can do.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away,
and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Those that truly love, have roots that
grow towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms have fallen from their branches, they find that they are one tree and not two.

The Strait of Hormuz is closed again because Israel instantly violated the ceasefire and bombed a series of villages in Lebanon. Of course, they did. We will never have peace with an ally like Israel. If we let them, they are very clear that they will drag us into endless wars.
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America.
Everything is free, enormous, air conditioned, comes with chips, and has five grocery stores within a mile that will sell you any cut of any animal you have ever imagined.
Write that down. 🦋

Here's exactly how (no subscription, no hardware):
The Vice of Sloth can manifest in physical laziness — but it is more than that.
Sloth is a sadness of spirit — a reluctance to face reality and rise to be the man God created you to be.
So while Sloth can look like laziness, it can just as easily look like workaholism, never taking a sabbath, being on the phone instead of paying attention to wife and kids, feeling too busy to make time for prayer, and turning to things like social media/drugs/alcohol/noise as a way to cope with anxiety and not have to be alone with one's thoughts.
God's commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy is a direct attack on both Pride and Sloth. On Sundays we are called to put aside servile work as much as possible — but NOT to make room for doomscrolling, watching sports, drunkenness, and gluttony.
Rather, the Sunday space is made for true and holy LEISURE — the opposite of SLOTH: worship, rest, recreation, quality time with family and friends, etc.
Like Pride, Sloth is selfish, turned in on itself — it is fundamentally opposed to Charity.
“This sorrow (Sloth) is a lack of magnanimity; it lacks courage for the great things that are proper to the nature of the Christian. It is a kind of anxious vertigo that befalls the human individual when he becomes aware of the height to which God has raised him.
One who is trapped in acedia (Sloth) has neither the courage nor the will to be as great as he really is. He would prefer to be less great in order thus to avoid the obligation of greatness.
Acedia (Sloth) is a perverted humility; it will not accept supernatural goods because they are, by their very nature, linked to a claim on him who receives them. ”

🚨 NOW: Americans are noticing that Japanese World Cup fans are doing MASS CLEANUPS of AMERICAN STADIUMS after the match
"In Japan, we are taught to clean up in school"
Thug cultures destroy and ravage, others clean and build!
This is why we LOVE JAPAN! PURE CLASS ACT! 🇺🇸🇯🇵
Tehran just kinged Trump's 5D chess and backed Trump into a corner.
The cost of this new "peace" deal? Total American capitulation: -$300B in US taxpayer cash paid directly to Iran
-$24B in frozen assets immediately unlocked.
-$12B paid upfront just to pay Iran to show up at the TABLE.
Toll booths on the Strait of Hormuz, forcing global shipping to pay Tehran directly.
"Art of the Kneel."
So is the war over…
168 schoolgirls killed by our military
Unknown numbers of American military killed and injured
Unknown numbers of Iranian civilians killed
In February I paid $1.95 per gallon and now $3.25 is the new normal and we are supposed to be grateful
The Strait is opened like it was before
The Epstein class made billions of dollars
I know the money’s good, but these MAGA influencers twisting themselves into knots to convince their audience that this horrendous deal with Iran is better than the one Obama made are embarrassing as hell.
War is over for now.
Results:
U.S. bases in the Middle East are gone, Iran is getting paid billions, Iran will now charge Hormuz tolls & Israel was forced to withdraw from Lebanon.
Total Iranian victory.
🚨 Pope Leo XIV has sent a WARNING to migrants, telling them how to behave when they arrive into new countries:
'Learn its language, to respect its laws, to get to know its customs, to participate in communal life and to offer your gifts with gratitude'
We took Erin Brockovich's map of every data center in America. Then we laid the nation's aquifers on top of it.
We noticed they're not building data centers where the land is cheap. They're building them where the water is.
Farmers near these facilities say their livestock have stopped falling pregnant. Residents say the humming never stops.
And the projects arrive under NDAs, so most towns don't know until the ground is already broken.
The question isn’t where they’re building anymore. It’s why they’re building where they’re building. Tonight, we think we can answer that question.
We’ve been covering the data center issue in great detail on this broadcast, and for good reason. It’s a serious problem in America and worldwide, and it’s one that is uniting people from all sides of the political aisle because, guess what, whether you are a conservative or a liberal, you have human rights that enable you to have access to basic survival needs like water, which was given to us by God, not by the state or Big Tech, by the way.
Erin Brockovich joined the data center fight recently. She launched a site including a map that shows data centers either completed, under construction, planned, or community reported, likely due to all those pesky NDAs in place stopping us from knowing they’re coming to our area. But the public isn’t stupid.
So Maria thought she’d do something a little bit different. She created a series of maps using Erin Brockovich’s data center data, then superimposed aquifer maps onto those maps, then superimposed smart city locations onto those maps. What Maria found was pretty mind-blowing and, she says, lends credence to her theory that those in charge are purposely making rural areas unlivable for the purpose of pushing people into smart cities, where they will be under constant surveillance and on a short leash.
