As these large language models trying to build true intelligence, the more we keep rediscovering exactly what The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has taught all along through the Plan of Salvation: real intelligence requires an eternal spirit, a body, agency, relationships, and moral experience. Joseph Smith Jr. nailed the purpose of life centuries ago. The Pope’s just catching up.
We’re not offended by jokes, believers of Christ have been the punchline for over 2,000 years. What actually bothers us is when people spread false claims in a serious setting, present it as rigorous analysis, and then mock anyone who objects by telling them to lighten up and not take themselves so seriously.
“But the curse of every ancient civilization was that its men in the end became unable to fight. Materialism, luxury, safety, even sometimes an almost modern sentimentality, weakened the fibre of each civilized race in turn; each became in the end a nation of pacifists, and then each was trodden under foot by some ruder people that had kept that virile fighting power the lack of which makes all other virtues useless and sometimes even harmful.”
-Teddy Roosevelt
@FriedScones If you need help, just say it—no shame. I’m a fumbling ministering brother myself; I actively wrestle with when to step up assertively versus step back and give space/privacy.
Restore Britain will not pretend that a man wearing a dress is a woman. We’re just not going to do that.
We will not deny biological reality, we will not indulge this madness.
Men will be banned from women’s sports, categorically and absolutely.
Women’s private spaces will be protected, unequivocally. If a man enters a women’s toilet, that will be treated as the invasive act that it is.
Biological men will not be placed in women’s prisons, under any circumstances.
This filth will be kept away from children. Any teacher or medical professional pushing the idea that a child is born in the wrong body will be sacked, and they will be prosecuted. We will not tolerate it.
Any doctor found to have given vulnerable children mutilating surgery or puberty-blocking poison will be struck off and put in prison.
That vile flag will be banned from public sector buildings, ESPECIALLY schools.
Restore Britain will protect women, and Restore Britain will protect children.
Without apology.
If you agree, I hope you consider joining our party.

After the staggering level of welfare fraud exposed in Minnesota, why on Earth would ANY Republican vote to fund more refugee welfare programs? This is DC insanity at its finest.
No..no…no. Denied…no..;denied again. You don’t get to scrap legal principles going back to the 12th century that built the most successful society ever between the largest empire ever, science, freedom, the Industrial Revolution, creating the modern world order and the rest. The current British regime is the most oppressive ever in the history of the Anglosphere
RFK Jr. just brought the house down at the Kennedy Center.
The entire building erupted in chants of “USA!” after he shared an unforgettable conversation he once had with Charlie Kirk about death.
“I had a conversation once with Charlie where we were talking about the danger that we both faced from challenging entrenched interests. And he asked me if I was scared to die. And I said to him, ‘There’s a lot worse things than dying.’”
Kennedy continued: “And one of the chief among us is losing our constitutional rights and having our children raised in slavery.
“I said to him at that time, ‘Sometimes our only consolation is that we can die with our boots on. We can die fighting for these things.’
“Charlie gave his life so that the rest of us would not have to suffer those fates worse than death. Now it’s our job. He’s no longer there to lead us. Rush in and fill the breach and win this battle for our country, for God, and for our families. Thank you.”
The crowd’s response was electric. Listen to how loud those chants of “USA!” became.
EUROPE - A lesson in explaining irony.
JD Vance - “Europe does not accept free speech."
Europe - “ The JD Vance speech is not acceptable."
Here endeth the lesson 🤣🤡
NEW: Robert Kenendy Jr. says that Donald Trump is breaking tradition by privately funding his transition team and has already started it three months early.
Kennedy began by talking about why he's chosen to trust Trump, saying, "I've talked to Donald Trump specifically about this, and I said, 'Look, the last time you were in there, you put John Bolton in charge of NSA, and Mike Pompeo in charge of the CIA... and he said, 'Here's the difference... when I got in last time, I had no idea how to govern, and I got surrounded by donors and corporate people who said you appoint this guy and appoint that guy... I appointed a lot of bad people.'
He continued, "I was listening this morning to this extraordinary interview that Donald Trump did with Joe Rogan yesterday... and he said, 'This time I'm not gonna do that.' He told us that (too), and he didn't just promise that, but he did something no other president's done before. Normally, the transition team is not created until November 6th because GAO, the General Accounting Office, pays for all the cost of the transition team. Trump said, 'I'm not gonna do it this time. I'm not gonna do it their way. I'm gonna start my own transition team three months early.' And he got private donors to fund it, and he's appointed 20 people including me and Tulsi, and there's people of all different kinds of ideology and people who we're gonna have to go up against on that transition team and fight for our vision. But I can tell you this, which is unique: there are no corporate lobbyists on that transition team. And, usually, it's 100% corporate lobbyists. So it's very, very different, and it gives me lots of hope that this government is gonna be different than any government we've ever seen."
🚨ELON MUSK: "It's pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started the revolution and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and theres no revolution. You get taxed on what you earned, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. Taxes, taxes, taxes, and what does it get spent on? That's why we need to reduce the size of government."
