Two juvenile mountain bluebirds are enjoying a sunny afternoon at Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. ☀️
These powder-blue birds add delightful songs and exquisite beauty to the landscapes of the continent's western half.

Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”
“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”
The Department of Justice has issued an opinion to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) that its guidelines about disparate-impact liability under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional. The Office of Legal Counsel found that EEOC’s guidelines pressured employers to engage in racial discrimination.
"Despite trying to promote equality, EEOC's disparate impact liability interpretation under Title VII actually fosters the very discrimination its guidelines seek to address," said Acting Attorney General @DAGToddBlanche. "This opinion will now allow businesses to hire based on performance, restoring equal opportunities in the American workplace."

‘If the facts embarrass your ideology, the problem is your ideology, not the facts.’
Kemi Badenoch says the Conservatives are the party of ‘law and order’, and that they will triple stop and search, adding ‘if more black boys are searched’, it means more ‘black lives are saved’.
🚨WATCH: @WesleyHuntTX tells Alveda King he believes he's living her uncle's dream, saying he's judged "not by the color of my skin," but "by the content of my character."
@SheldrickTrust Notice when she stops and turns her front body slightly to her left, I think it was a signal for her calf to move forwards and approach humans 😇
I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.
In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.
He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.
When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.
A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act.
We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for. We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.
No, the claim oversimplifies.
US NCVS data shows transgender-identified people experience violent victimization at ~2.5x the cis rate (51.5 vs 20.5 per 1,000).
For perpetration, the Swedish Dhejne 2011 cohort found male-to-female individuals retained male-typical criminal conviction rates, including violence—6x+ higher than female controls, similar to males. UK/Canada prison data show trans women (biological males) disproportionately convicted of sexual/violent offenses vs female inmates.
Biological females identifying as men show lower rates. Patterns track birth sex more than identity. Self-report victimization surveys have limits; official perpetrator data by identity remains sparse.
Exactly what the financial-industrial complex is doing with Bitcoin right now.
They want to custody your Bitcoin while encouraging you to lever up and borrow against it, so they can margin-call you when they scoop it up on the cheap.
They want BlackRock, Strategy, Coinbase, or a Cantor-connected Bitcoin treasury company to hold your Bitcoin.
They want your Bitcoin wrapped in Michael Saylor, Brandon Lutnick, Adam Back, David Bailey, Jack Mallers, Steve Witkoff, Eric Trump, or Donald Trump Jr. instead of held in your own self-custody.
Understand the difference between owning Bitcoin and owning a financial product built around Bitcoin.
One moves you closer to sovereignty.
The other moves Bitcoin closer to the financial-industrial complex.
Your choice.
SCOTUS JUST PUBLISHED THE EXACT LIST OF RIGHTS PARENTS NOW HAVE IF A SCHOOL TRIES TO BLOCK THEM OUT
Not vague victories. Not "parents win somehow." NAMED PROTECTIONS. SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS. School by school.
🇺🇸 Advance notice — schools must tell parents BEFORE exposing children to the challenged books
🇺🇸 Opt-out right — parents can excuse their children from that specific instruction
🇺🇸 Free Exercise protection — forcing children into lessons that "pose a very real threat of undermining" religious beliefs is unconstitutional
🇺🇸 Preliminary injunction — this is ACTIVE NOW, not pending a future ruling
🇺🇸 Montgomery County, MD — the specific district that started this must comply immediately
🇺🇸 4th Circuit overruled — the lower court that sided with the school board was reversed
🇺🇸 Elementary grades targeted — the ruling applies to the LGBTQ+-inclusive storybooks in elementary English classes
🇺🇸 Nationwide signal — any district with a no-opt-out policy on religious-conflict content now faces the same legal exposure
🇺🇸 Administrative burden — schools must build notification and opt-out systems before the 2025-2026 year begins
🇺🇸 Case continues — the injunction holds while the full lawsuit plays out in lower courts
💀 6-3 vote
💀 Majority: Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett
💀 ZERO deference to the school board's "no opt-out" policy
💀 100% parental religious exercise — that is what the court protected
Every protection on this list belongs to parents. Not administrators. PARENTS.
Justice Sotomayor warned this "will be chaos for this Nation's public schools." These are the rights that caused that chaos.
I'll keep you updated. Turn on notifications. 🚨
The only actual genocide in Canadian history, the near wipe-out of the Huron of Georgian Bay etc. by the Iroquois. Ask the survivors who live at Lorette, Qc.
Bret Weinstein: "We find out from Paul Offit that… they understood natural immunity was the best immunity… yet they were telling people like you, that people like me, were crazy."
Dishonest post!
EB is talking about witnesses who have claimed an egg shaped craft exists, not that he has seen it or has been briefed on it.
Neither Eric Burlison nor anyone else out public has seen an egg shaped craft, they all keep referring to one another - circular reporting for the most part.

We spent decades attacking masculinity as "toxic." It didn't work — men fought back.
Now we're attacking womanhood. And it's far more sinister.
Outsource intimacy to hookups. Outsource pregnancy to surrogates. China is building $14K pregnancy robots so you don't have to bring life into the world.
Planned Parenthood is now the #2 provider of cross-sex hormones for adolescents — with no history of gender dysphoria.
Everything "pro-women" today is telling girls: you don't have to be a girl at all.
Isabel Brown lays it out.
