trying to figure out where everyone is running to

[Mike Benz @MikeBenzCyber]

USAID funded the Maidan Revolution in Ukraine in 2014 that directly led to the 2014-2022 Donbas War (15,000 killed) and the subsequent 2022 Russia-Ukraine War (300,000 killed). So did USAID supporters murder 315,000 people?

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

For years, I raised alarms about dangerous gain-of-function research being farmed out to foreign countries, and I was told it was a conspiracy theory. Now, declassified documents show that the U.S. funded over 120 biolabs across more than 30 countries. Some of this research was conducted overseas precisely because scientists knew it would face scrutiny on American soil.

I'm calling for a presidential commission of scientists to review all gain-of-function research going forward. We're going lab by lab and pathogen by pathogen until the American people know the full truth.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Declassified documents confirm what I've been saying for years: Anthony Fauci didn't just fund dangerous research at the Wuhan lab. He personally shaped what the intelligence community told the American people about COVID's origins. 18 agencies relied on his guidance. That’s the very definition of a cover-up.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth.

@Skhomo23 @HendrickD82 And Salah never won a balon d’or. Awards are silly and mean very little. If Iraola thinks he can use Gravenberch in a highly specialized role- great. But let’s not pretend Grav had anything short of a spectacularly bad season

Taking down WPATH would be the gender critical Battle of Stalingrad.

It’s almost impossible to be more wrong than Al Gore and the climate change scientists.

As just one example, Glacier National Park had to remove signs saying the park would be glacier free by 2020 because it didn’t happen.

No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others.

You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all.

Enough!

If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists.

If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized.

For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent.

It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

(1) If you are obsessed with another person's wealth, you are a loser.

(2) Do not spend time with people who think like that. Spend time with productive people whose brains never entertain such juvenile thoughts.

(3) Instead, you should have a feeling of gratitude for what you do have, which would have astonished literally everyone who ever lived in every other time and place.

(4) For one thing, for all the complaints we may have about our food supply, your diet is not limited to bread, porridge, cabbage, onions, and turnips, with very occasional meat. Instead, you have a varied and nourishing diet. You have citrus, too, and scurvy is unknown. You don't worry about seasonal starvation every year, or food spoilage. You can drink clean water instead of ale. You have fresh produce in winter.

(5) Likewise, your child's life is not at risk if he breaks his leg or has a tooth abscess. For that matter, you don't have to endure medieval dentistry.

(6) Transportation you can forget about. Before the market brought mass production to the population, you walked. You had no maps. Even our poorest people use modes of transportation that would have astonished people in previous ages.

(7) You probably like having toilets rather than chamber pots and outhouses, not to mention showers, clean water, soap that doesn't burn, deodorant, and toothpaste. Even the poor have eyeglasses, beds with mattresses, lighting at night, heat at the turn of a dial, and instant communication.

(8) You probably prefer not to have a single-room hut made of wattle and daub, with no insulation, no chimney (smoke escaped through a hole in the roof, slowly), an open hearth (which contributed to respiratory problems), a dirt floor, a thatched roof that often leaked and attracted vermin, and a shared sleeping space for everyone, often including livestock.

(9) In the old days -- in other words, all of human history -- you would have had at most two outfits, you would have dealt with course wool and linen that were itchy, heavy, and hard to clean: laundry would have been done by hand with lye, which destroyed fabric (and wasn't good for the skin, either). For footwear you may have had wooden clogs but would sometimes have gone barefoot.

(10) We can go on and on like this. Yes, of course we want even more wealth for everyone, and yes, we want to repeal everything the government and the Fed (socialists are weirdly quiet about the Fed, which is the actual exploiter they pretend capitalists are) are doing that makes housing and other things more expensive: economist Bryan Caplan says repeal of regulations alone would cut housing prices by half in many places.

(11) But for heaven's sake, how deranged and psychotic and ungrateful for our ancestors and their institutions would we have to be when, living in a way that literally every single person (even kings and queens, who had to shit in a pot) who ever lived would have envied and scarcely even believed, we're instead concerned about some people having more?

(12) The only thing -- the absolute only thing -- that makes this phenomenon possible, the only thing that allows us to live at this level and even conceive of improving it, is capital accumulation, the very thing "Diana Moreno" works day and night to undermine or destroy.

(13) "Diana Moreno" thinks we should liquidate Elon's holdings and send everyone a check for $12.

(14) She would look at a pile of seed corn and be furious that the capitalists didn't want to distribute it for consumption purposes. "I could feed lots of people with this seed corn," we can hear "Diana Moreno" saying as she destroys civilization.

(15) Richard Tawney's description of Luther is apt here: "Confronted with the complexities of foreign trade and financial organizations, he is like a savage introduced to a dynamo or a steam engine."

Whose career in the Premier League would most be affected if VAR was allowed to flip a yellow card foul against a defender into a yellow card diving call? My vote is Bernardo Silva.
Good World Cup use of technology. Impressive

This is a sexual assault—unknowingly captured by a mom filming her daughter’s wrestling match.

Kallie didn’t know her opponent was male. But she knew something was very wrong.

Today @ADFLegal helped Kallie sue the WA officials who placed gender ideology above her safety. 🧵⬇️

Silly: Most dangerous World Cup ever because climate

Qatar World Cup in 2022 (in winter) was 5-10°C (10-20°F) warmer, so not most dangerous

And lots of smart solutions: air con, cooler cities with less black surfaces, more water features, and greenery

New discovery: Ancient Humans were using fire 700,000-800,000 YEARS EARLIER than previously known!

Just the latest example of how little we know about our past. Graham Hancock was right, “stuff just keeps on getting older” 🔥

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position.

LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!
