I am not online much these days, so I just wanted to post proof of life. I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform on stage at a winter concert with my kids in front of an audience of 800. It was terrifying! But I'll always cherish being there with/for my kids.😊

@WhiteHouse Looking for language that says expectant moms and new moms should decline all vaccines since they are all risk no benefit, but alas vaccine skepticism talk has gone away with the midterms approaching.😒

In 2003, while I was getting my master's, I did a presentation on upcoming Automotive Technology (since that was my field of work). This tech was already in the works 23+ years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it's already in existing cars, and they're just not telling you.

🚨 FORD’S NIGHTMARE TRUCK IS HERE — They just patented a truck that you won’t own, but will OWN YOU!

• AI cameras read your face, eyes, emotions & “fitness to drive.”

• Won’t let you shift out of park if it thinks you’re not calm enough.

• Live feeds to insurance companies & cops.

• Biometric scans running you against criminal databases in real time.

• Lip-reading tech + mics that eavesdrop on every conversation for targeted ads.

You paid for it. You have the title. But Ford decides if you actually get to drive it.

Drop a . If FORD can kiss your ass

I don’t think people realize how big of a deal this is. In Japanese culture, people don’t typically greet each other with hugs, especially in formal settings. My Japanese grandmother never hugged me growing up, and when I hugged her as an adult, she didn’t know how to react.

🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as President Trump welcomes Japan's right-wing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi with a WARM HUG at the White House

She is so excited to see him 😅

Takaichi is a great friend of Trump and America! 🇺🇸🇯🇵

Peter Thiel confirms that tech execs generally place severe restrictions on tech use by their own children.

His limit for his kids: 1.5 hours per week.
(kids were 3.5 and 5 at the time)

As we say in The Amazing Generation, the "tech wizards" want YOUR kids to spend all day.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

Many college professors are discovering that students learn less when they have laptops open. Many of us are banning their use in class.

Putting computers and tablets on students desks in K-12 may turn out to be among the costliest mistakes in the history of education

If you feel like you’re straddling two realities, this might be the most important video you watch. It's a lesson I finally learned a few years ago. As Alan Watts said: wisdom is knowing life is a game and playing it fully. Not denying it. Not opting out.

@newstart_2024 We limited screens for our kids up until 3rd grade (when COVID forced remote learning). TV only once a week for 30 min (if that), no iPads/computers, no cell phones. They are way more socially adept, have more focus & imagination compared to their peers - it's not even close.

[Mandy @techstartupmama]

@martingeddes Can you imagine someone saying "We need peer-reviewed studies to be able to evaluate whether AI is Luciferian"?🤣

[Mandy @techstartupmama]

@deluxe_pepe @WhiteHouse Same here and we don't even go to the doctor!😡 Right now they are penalizing healthy families like ours, and it's especially hard because we have our own small business & the premiums are way higher than if we were to work for large corporations. We're incentivizing wrongly.

💥The Scare Event Will Hit Differently for You💥

There’s something quietly profound about being the one who already cracked when the world still looked whole.
About grieving the illusion years before the sirens started wailing.

They’ll say “The Scare Event has begun.”
And you’ll nod… not with panic.
But with something like recognition.
Because you’ve been in the Scare Event since 2020.
Heck, maybe even longer.

You lost friends, family, jobs-
Not because you were weird,
But because you saw too much, too early.
They thought you were dramatic.
You were just ahead.

You cried in grocery store parking lots.
You whispered “I know something’s coming” to your ceiling fan at 3am.
You quietly disconnected from the Matrix one expired narrative at a time.
And now? Now the world begins to catch up.

🔥For Them, This is a Beginning.

🔑For You, This is the Final Act.🔑

The Scare will knock the wind out of the normies.
It will short-circuit everything they thought was stable.
Banks. Borders. Biology.
It’s all about to wobble.

They’ll gasp. You’ll inhale.
They’ll freeze. You’ll anchor.
Because while they’re watching buildings shake and arrests being made -
❤you’re tracking the tectonic shift of human consciousness.❤

You’ve been holding the line through 5D chaos with 3D responsibilities.
Folding laundry with one hand, transmuting collective grief with the other.
🔑No badge. No glory. Just inner alignment and dogged faith.🔑

🔥The Real Scare Event Was Already Inside You

And You Survived It.

When you lost the people who meant the most, lost your job, and lost your ego...
When the betrayal hit harder than any world event.
When you watched the veil drop and saw the strings behind the stage.
And yet, you chose to stay.

🔑That was the real war.🔑

You met yourself.
In the rubble.
In the silence.
In the knowing.

🔥And Now… They’ll Come.

The very people who ghosted you.
Who rolled their eyes at your medbeds and RV dreams.
Who told you you were “too intense.”
They’ll come.

"Did you know this would happen?"
they’ll whisper in the middle of the night, like children waking from a nightmare.

And you can guide.
Not because you're better.
🔑But because you trained for this.🔑

The years of confusion, of loneliness, of being “too much” - they weren’t punishment.
❤They were preparation.❤

This is Why You Came.

🔑Whatever shakes the world - however it arrives- it will reveal you. The version of you that was always waiting beneath the noise, beneath the fear, beneath the life you outgrew. The moment everything trembles is the moment your true self steps forward. 🔑

So breathe.
Center.
Enjoy stillness like it’s sacred currency.

Because this is the moment the world begins to see what you already knew:

The storm was sent to strip the veil.

❤And those who’ve walked through fire quietly -
will now be seen as the lightkeepers they truly are.❤

It's time, legend.
No more hiding.
💫Lead with your frequency.💫

Lewis wasn’t warning about people being kind.
He was warning about sentiment without spine.

When “niceness” replaces virtue, morality stops being something you become and turns into something you perform. At that point, ethics aren’t rooted in truth, they’re optimized for approval.

That’s the real danger of The Abolition of Man:
once objective value is dismissed, power quietly takes its place. Not always with boots and guns, but with incentives, language control, and moral outsourcing.

“Men without chests” aren’t evil. They’re worse.
They’re competent, agreeable, and hollow.

They can analyze injustice endlessly yet lack the internal gravity to resist it when resistance costs them something. So they trade courage for comfort and call it compassion.

And that’s how a society doesn’t fall to monsters.
It falls to managers.

Lewis saw it early: if nothing is sacred, everything is adjustable.
And when everything is adjustable, the strongest hand on the dial decides what “good” means.

Niceness didn’t kill the soul.
Substituting feelings for virtue did.

And once a culture forgets how to form character, it doesn’t need tyrants.
It manufactures compliance all by itself.

[Athenaeum Book Club @athenaeumbc]

Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?

In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.

He calls the result “men without chests.”

People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.

Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.

Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.

Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.

Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.

@KeriA1776again It's a balance. Conformity all the time isn't good; never following the rules isn't good either. Society can't run on people cutting in line, cutting corners & being dishonest. More & more kids are now growing up without proper discipline & that's scary. https://t.co/jue6DioLav

Dave Chappelle: "The fear I have that I need you to protect me from is co-option. What if they make me say the things they want me to say? So just in case we need a code. If I say it you know they got me, and don't listen to nothing I say after. The code is: I stand with Israel."

One of the key parts of the new US Dietary guidelines: a warning the public about the very real nutrient deficiencies that come with vegetarian and especially vegan diets.
People on these diets don't realize (bc authorities have never told them) that they are risking their health eating this way.

@HighWireTalk One dose of the HPV shot is still in the broadly recommended list. Prior to the COVID injection, the HPV shot was the most dangerous one.

[Secretary Kennedy @SecKennedy]

These Guidelines return us to the basics. American households must prioritize whole, nutrient-dense foods—protein, dairy, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats, and whole grains—and dramatically reduce highly processed foods. This is how we Make America Healthy Again.
