Hours after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, FAU professor Karen Leader went on X and added to a wave of attacks on him:
“This was Charlie Kirk.”
"Misogynist to the core.”
“Charlie Kirk would happily watch gay people being stoned to death, and then find a way to monetize it.”
She also shared a post from an account then named “I smoked Charlie Kirk.”
Yet the NEA just published a glowing puff-piece about her, calling her a beloved truth-teller who “didn’t do anything wrong" and a victim of the "far-right".

Labor Day was created to honor American workers, not union bosses.
Not political machines.
Not the people who take a cut of a teacher’s or cop’s paycheck and spend it on causes those workers never voted for.
Here's the REAL history of Labor Day that big union bosses would rather you forget...

🧵Today Princess Moss takes office as the new president of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teachers' union with nearly 3 million members. Here’s what parents, teachers, and taxpayers should know about the person now running one of the most powerful political machines in American education.
Moss taught elementary music for 21 years in Louisa County, Virginia. She then spent the next two decades climbing the union ladder, from president of the Virginia Education Association to NEA Executive Committee, secretary-treasurer, and then vice president.
Spare us the Hallmark-card pablum, Barry.
The guy who turned political disagreement into a national blood feud doesn’t get to play unity referee when the bullets inevitably start flying at his successor.
Julius Nyerere sold Tanzania on gentle “Ujamaa” African socialism—a softer vision of communal brotherhood rooted in mythical African tradition.
In practice it led to Operation Vijiji: the 1973-76 forced march of over 13 million peasants (~95% of the rural population) into collective villages, often at gunpoint by army, police, and party militias who moved people like cattle in the dead of night.
Homes were torched to prevent return. Ancestral plots were abandoned overnight. Traditional knowledge of local soils, seasons, and crops were discarded for half-baked Marxist theories that saw farmers as interchangeable cogs in a state machine.
Agricultural output swiftly collapsed. Cash-crop exports halved within a decade, food imports exploded from 50,000 tons in 1970 to 400,000 by 1974, and once self-sufficient villages faced shortages while the Party preached self-reliance from Dar es Salaam.
Fertile land became dust under central planning. The philosopher-president’s paradise delivered only death, dependency, and a generation that learned the hard way that socialism is just a synonym for starvation.
Julius Nyerere’s gentle “Ujamaa” socialism was nothing new. It was the same blueprint for mass murder the world had seen before, in a Gandhi Peace Prize-winning smile.
Nailed hands that broke our chains, pierced feet that walked through hell, and a crown of thorns that bloomed into victory — a poem on the dawn that ended our doom.
Happy Resurrection Sunday, friends.

The 9 choirs of angels
1. Seraphim ("burning ones")
The highest choir, closest to God's throne. They burn with intense love for God, continually worship and praise Him (singing "Holy, holy, holy"), and contemplate His divine perfection most directly.
2. Cherubim ("fullness of wisdom")
They contemplate God's wisdom, providence, and knowledge. Often depicted as guardians of sacred spaces (e.g., the Garden of Eden or the Ark of the Covenant), they protect divine mysteries and special holy places.
3. Thrones (or Ophanim)
They represent God's justice, stability, authority, and judgment. They reflect divine steadfastness and submission, and are associated with carrying out or manifesting God's righteous decrees and cosmic order.
4. Dominions (or Dominations)
They oversee the broader government of the universe, acting as angelic "managers" or regulators. They direct lower choirs, mediate God's authority, and ensure the execution of divine will across creation.
5. Virtues
They govern natural laws, miracles, and the causes/effects in the physical world (sometimes described as overseeing elements like gravity or natural forces). They strengthen creation's order and enable God's power to work through natural and supernatural events.
6. Powers (or Authorities)
Warriors of the heavenly host, they combat evil forces (especially demons), protect the cosmic order from chaos, and maintain balance against spiritual threats or disruptions.
7. Principalities (or Princes)
They oversee large groups of people, such as nations, cities, churches, institutions, or leaders. They guide and influence collective human affairs, cultures, and societal structures according to God's plan.
8. Archangels
Chief messengers for major divine announcements and missions. Known examples include Michael (protector and leader in battle), Gabriel (announcer of key events like the Annunciation), and Raphael (healer and guide). They deliver God's most important messages to humanity.
9. Angels (guardian angels or simply "angels")
The lowest choir, closest to humans. They act as personal messengers, protectors, and guides — most notably as guardian angels assigned to individual people to watch over, pray for, guide, and assist them throughout life.
BREAKING🚨: A once-in-a-lifetime sky. 🌌
The Great Pyramids stand beneath an incredible six-planet alignment of Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Mars, Uranus, and Neptune. As if that wasn't enough, a stray meteoroid streaked through the frame just as the shutter clicked.
While the distant ice giants (Uranus and Neptune) required long-exposure photography to be pulled from the darkness, the final composite captures the full, chaotic beauty of our solar system.
