BREAKING: University of Florida board leadership is breaching protocol to push Stuart Bell, former president of U of Alabama, as the SOLE finalist for the UF Presidency. It's a blow to UF’s reform record as Bell founded the DEI office at Alabama and refused to fire DEI officers even when the legislature banned it.

My father grew up in the segregated South.
He had to walk around to the BACK of a restaurant just to order a sandwich because he was black.
THAT was Jim Crow.
Not showing a photo ID to vote.
You need an ID to:
• Board a plane
• Cash a check
• Buy alcohol
• Enter federal buildings
But suddenly showing an ID to vote is “racist”?
Give me a break.
This is not civil rights.
This is political theater.
The Democrat Party survives by manufacturing grievance because they have nothing else to run on.
Comparing voter ID laws to segregation is not just dishonest, it is insulting to the people who actually lived through Jim Crow.
Asking Americans to prove they are who they say they are when they cast their vote is called common sense.
A community college professor named Marty Lobdell taught the same study skills lecture for 30 years. The video quietly became one of the most watched educational recordings online, with over 10 million views.
He spent his career watching students fail not because they were lazy, but because no one had taught them how their brain actually works when learning something difficult.
The lecture, “Study Less Study Smart,” contains a powerful framework.
Your brain cannot sustain focus the way most people believe. Studies show the average learner hits a wall between 25 and 30 minutes. After that, efficiency collapses. You’re still sitting there, but almost nothing is being absorbed.
Lobdell told the story of a student who planned to study 6 hours a night, 5 nights a week. Thirty hours total. She failed every class. She was not lacking effort. She was confusing time near books with actual learning. The fix is simple: when focus drops, stop, take a 5 minute rewarding break, then return. That reset makes a massive difference.
He also destroyed the myth of highlighting and re reading. Recognition is not the same as recall. To prove it, he read 13 random letters. Almost no one remembered them. Then he turned them into “Happy Thursday.” The entire room recalled them instantly. The brain stores meaning, not repetition.
This is why elaborative encoding works so well.
Finally, he shared the most important principle: 80 percent of study time should be active recitation. Close the book and explain the material in your own words. Teach it to someone else or an empty chair. Retrieval is where real learning happens.
His closing line stuck with me: If this information does not change your
behaviour, you have not actually learned it.
The best students do not study more hours. They stop confusing the feeling of studying with the reality of learning.
🧵 THREAD: The true reason Pete Hegseth is being targeted is because he's standing between President Trump and a coup
@PeteHegseth named the institutions... CFR, Brookings, the general class... in 37 seconds in a video by @Liz_Wheeler . Within 72 hours of his nomination, a color revolution planning document cited him as an insider threat.
They didn't go after him because of drinking. They didn't go after him because of women. They went after him because every color revolution manual ever written says the same thing: you cannot topple a government unless the security forces defect. And a loyal Secretary of Defense is the one person who makes sure they don't.
I have the receipts. Their own documents. Their own training sessions. Their own words on camera.
As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇
This is what happens when criminals run the country.
This is what Democrats want for America.
And THIS is why we must pass the Save America Act to ensure the left doesn’t get what they want.
