REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China’s Payroll 🚨
I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking “favorable coverage” and “positive messages” about Beijing. 🧵
@Tndoublee@BrilynHollyhand You removed the context, don’t understand the Bible. Read the Catholic version with commentary to get the correct interpretation.
Jessica Gorman: “My beautiful, 18-year-old daughter was murdered in cold blood by a man who should have never been in this country...because the politicians we choose, leaders like Kathy Hochul, who choose sanctuary policies over the safety of our American citizens."
Jordan Peterson on the 7 domains that give life meaning:
1. Most people want an intimate relationship. don’t just hope for one. define what it would actually look like. picture an ordinary dinner with the people you love. if you’re going to have 10,000 dinners in your lifetime, you might as well get them right.
2. Put your family in order. listen to them. repair what can be repaired. if someone refuses every attempt at communication, walk around them. but don’t neglect the relationships that can be saved. making your family a priority has cascading positive consequences.
3. Surround yourself with people who celebrate your successes and genuinely support you when life gets hard. if someone keeps pulling you down while you’re trying to aim higher, it may be time to let them go. choose friends who encourage your growth instead of rewarding your excuses.
4. Whether it’s a job or a calling, have a plan. become the kind of person employers want to bet on. learn new skills, improve your resume, prepare for opportunities, and keep putting yourself out there. people become successful every day. one of them could be you.
5. Never stop developing yourself. keep learning. stay on the edge of your abilities instead of settling into comfort. invest in your education so you’re always becoming more capable than you were yesterday.
6. Treat yourself like someone you’re responsible for. take care of your body and mind. don’t let your habits or temptations decide the direction of your life. decide the kind of person you want to be, then build habits that move you toward that person.
7. Develop a vision for your life. if you don’t write your own story, you’ll become a character in someone else’s. without a clear aim, you’ll be driven by your impulses or by other people’s expectations. a meaningful life begins with deciding what you’re aiming at.
I’ve just finished reading Gad Saad’s book Suicidal Empathy.
It ranks, along with Chris Rufo’s America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything and Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay’s Cynical Theories, as the best take-down of the lunacy at the heart of the wokeist philosophy.
For Saad, empathy—in itself a perfectly decent trait—has become so grossly exaggerated that it threatens truth, reality, and justice.
Cases in point abound: so they won’t feel bad about themselves, we’ll allow biological men to compete in women’s sports and crush the dreams of thousands of young women; so as not to undermine the self-esteem of minorities, we will permit unqualified candidates to have positions in universities and the corporate world; so that everyone might feel included, we will characterize the meritocracy as “white privilege,” etc.
As I was making my way through Saad’s book, I kept remarking the sharp distinction between empathy and love.
To empathize is to enter profoundly into the experience of another and to endeavor not to hurt that person’s feelings. But to love is, as Thomas Aquinas taught, “to will the good of the other.”
As I said, in itself and all things being equal, empathy is a good thing. But it is not the same as love, which, depending on circumstances, can very much involve hurting someone’s feelings.
When a professor gives a student a “C” as an honest reflection of his work, he might well be insulting him, but he’s also telling him the truth and perhaps even urging him to try harder.
When, in the Confessional, a priest tells a murderer to turn himself in to the police, he’s undoubtedly making that person’s life more uncomfortable, but he’s also willing the man’s good.
Any decent parent knows that showing real love for her children means engendering all kinds of bad feelings in them.
In light of this distinction, we can understand why Jesus didn’t say, “have empathy for one another,” but rather “love one another.” And why St. John the Evangelist didn’t say, “God is empathy,” but rather “God is love.”
It occurred to me as I was reading Saad’s book that one reason Wokeism has seized the consciousness of so many in the West is that Christianity has faded as a cultural force and Christians themselves have forgotten what stands at the heart of their faith.
.@SecRubio is the first U.S. Secretary of State to openly confront the growing scourge of radical left-wing violence and terrorism coming from the likes of Antifa and trantifa militants.
That’s why the left and its media are in full meltdown over the summit in Washington. Acknowledging the threat undermines years of minimizing, excusing, or supporting the violence perpetuated by their side.
I'm very thankful I had the opportunity to meet Sec. Rubio at the White House Antifa roundtable last year.
Those who want to learn more about the history of American Antifa and how it came to get away with so much violence for a decade, please read my book, "Unmasked": https://t.co/FSQgQWP2jO
@SaraEisen Your interviewing skills keep improving. I really like the changes you have made in the last two years. Also, excellent interview with Gary Cohen today. Please have Gary on more often. All the Best!
Look at these photos
Falcon 9 soaring into the sky. Falcon Heavy and Starship ready for the next mission. Starlink antennas simple, clean, ready for any terrain. The Boring Company’s machine that looks like industrial sculpture. Futuristic tunnels full of Teslas. And the man whose vision stands behind it all.
It’s not a coincidence. It’s not just “technology.”
It’s class itself.
Zero unnecessary ornaments. Zero exaggeration. Just a pure, very high-quality product. You hold it in your hand, step inside, or look at it and immediately feel that everything is refined to the last detail. It works. It looks right. It lasts.
Elon Musk has this rare quality: he’s a man with class. He doesn’t flaunt luxury or add things just “because they photograph well.” He chooses simplicity but the kind that’s executed perfectly. And he transferred exactly that same philosophy to his companies.
The result? Engineering at the level of fashion. Design that’s modern yet has timeless elegance. Products that don’t just do the job they impress with their quality and quiet confidence.
It’s no accident that the rocket looks like a work of art.
That a Tesla interior feels minimalist yet luxurious.
That a Starlink dish looks like it was designed by someone who understands aesthetics, not just connectivity.
They all share one common thread: class.
Not the loud, flashy kind.
The real kind quiet, self-assured, and uncompromising.
If you value things that are simply well-made without unnecessary bling, but full of character and top-tier quality this is the essence of what Elon has built.
