Where the COVID vaccine argument falls apart, is that we’re seeing the same health problems occurring in children who were never vaccinated, but have been repeatedly infected with COVID

This on top of sharp rises in developmental problems in children who’ve never been vaccinated

🚨 14 year old Esther “Esti” has been missing from Toronto for over a week.

Her family asked Global News to re-share this clip from last year because they hope someone recognizes her face, her voice, or remembers an interaction that didn’t seem important at the time.

Watching it is honestly devastating. She comes across as bright, warm, articulate, and genuinely sweet. Her parents describe her as extremely intelligent, deeply caring, and trusting. Esti is on the autism spectrum and her family is terrified that someone may have taken advantage of that.

She was last seen late Friday night on May 15 near Earl Bales Park in North York. Police later released security footage appearing to show her in a restaurant shortly after midnight. Toronto Police launched a Level 1 search, the highest level search operation available, involving multiple specialized units.

She’s 5’2 with brown hair and was last seen wearing a turquoise sweater with writing on the front and grey sweatpants. Police say she was not wearing shoes.

If you are in the Toronto area, please look at her face carefully and share this as widely as possible.

Let's find Esti!

Los Angeles, 15-year-old Clara Daly from California, was travelling with her mom.

A flight attendant asked if anyone knew sign language. Clara, who had studied ASL for about a year, volunteered.

The passenger was 64-year-old Tim Cook, who is deaf and blind, flying alone. Clara knelt in the aisle and fingerspelled into his hand to communicate. She helped him order water, check the time, and speak with the crew.

For the rest of the long flight, she stayed with him, chatting until landing and bringing comfort to his journey.

Last night, I made a simple request on X. I asked if anybody visiting Arlington National Cemetery for Memorial Day would stop by Alan’s grave and leave a photo for our family.

What happened next honestly caught me off guard.

By this afternoon, dozens of Americans from all walks of life had made the walk to Section 60 to visit SSG Alan W. Shaw. Veterans. Families. Complete strangers. People who had never met Alan, but chose to honor him anyway.

For one day on social media, people put aside the constant noise and negativity and came together for something bigger than themselves. My notifications filled with photos, kind messages, prayers, and stories from people honoring not just Alan, but so many of our fallen heroes.

I don’t think people fully understand what moments like this mean to Gold Star families. The fear is never just losing them. It’s losing them slowly over time as the world moves on and fewer people remember their name.

But today showed me that Alan will never be forgotten.

After years of watching social media reward some of the worst parts of humanity, today gave me a reminder that the good is still out there too.

Thank you to every single person who stopped by to visit Alan today, said his name, shared his story, or took a moment to honor the fallen.

This right here is the America Alan knew and loved enough to fight and die for.

And today, y’all showed us all that it’s still here and it’s still worth fighting for. 🇺🇸

@SharrellAnne2 This post is who we are as Americans. No one ask his race,political affiliation, if he loved dogs or preferred cats. His sacrifice, love of country is all we know. A wife who loves her husband and ask so little of one of us. A Memorial Day to pause and be grateful.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper.

Her name is Audrey van der Meer.

She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth.

The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time.

Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen.

Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task.

When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once.

The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected.

When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely.

Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG.

Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events.

The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem.

Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next.

Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve.

Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews.

Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad.

Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page.

A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched.

The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall.

The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down.

The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page.

That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it.

Two studies. Two countries. Same answer.

Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast.

Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth.

You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick.

The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew.

Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

I need you to follow this carefully.
A photographer submitted images to the New York Times.

One showed a severely thin Palestinian boy, using it to claim Israel was deliberately starving civilians. The Times published it on the front page.

The child had cerebral palsy. Pre-existing conditions. Nothing to do with famine.

The Times CORRECTED the story. Publicly. On record.

The Pulitzer Prize committee, which awards journalism’s highest honour, read the correction. Reviewed the work, and gave the photographer the prize anyway.

One of the oldest lies in human history, that Jews deliberately harm children, is award-worthy journalism.

It just won a Pulitzer.

Doctors Without Borders says there is malnutrition in Gaza due to a lack of aid.

It’s quite literally impossible to host a marathon when there is supposed malnutrition.

He employed Palestinians. They murdered his daughter and he still seeks peace.

And what he gets in return is nothing but ignorant hate.

Such a good representation of the entire conflict.

Last week it was revealed Hamas is systemically raping Palestinian women in Gaza.

Yesterday it was revealed Hamas clerics are raping young Palestinian boys.

This morning it was revealed the Islamic Republic is raping female prisoners.

Barely a word in the media.

Weird.

[Nimco Ali (OBE) @NimkoAli]

Hamas raped women on October 7th and recorded it. So the abuse of women in Gaza is not surprising. What is disturbing is how many are willing to deny it, because protecting Hamas appears to matter more than protecting women.
