America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

AI can’t create a soul. But it can counterfeit faith well enough to fool the undiscerning. This post explores how digital tools, if left unchecked, may deform our spiritual habits, displace conviction with convenience, and offer the golden calf of mimicry instead of the living voice of Christ.

Why did Donald Trump pardon a Democratic crook like P.G. Sittenfeld?

The working theory of the Cincinnati political class is that Sittenfeld's wealthy benefactors, who were already bankrolling his legal defense, paid for the pardon with cryptocurrency.

But will non-MAGA Republicans and undecided voters get it now and vote accordingly?

Unfortunately, the people who most need to hear this message are not hearing it! Instead, they are hearing lies from the mainstream (corporate) press!☹️

So Kamala and Tim need to get the message out there that she was part of these great policies that benefit ordinary Americans and will continue them!

Will the MAGA/KKK members get it? No, they won't. I apologize to some for what I'm about to say here. In some cases, we are so invested in something being so that it is virtually impossible to apply critical thinking to the process. Religion is one of those areas. All life on earth (plants, animals, insects) are descended from LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) which existed 3.5 billion years ago and which is the source of all DNA among all living things. A banana and I share some of the sam…

You're right but I'd estimate those crackposts constitute only small vocal core of MAGA support. Peer pressure to conform. Individually, when we get a chance to speak to them, most want to keep their government benefits.

Some of those bigots are highly conflicted. Some of the worst racist comments I got when I used to text to blue wall states came from people with Slavic last names. During the Sept. 10 debate Trump twice refused to say whether he wanted Ukraine to win the war against Russia. He suggested, "Negotiate a deal," which Harris countered by saying if Trump had been president during the invasion, "Putin would be sitting in Kyiv with his eyes on the rest of Europe."

Vance has been anti Ukraine. Over a million Ukrainians in Pa. Approximately 784,000 Polish Americans in Michigan, 758,000 in Pennsylvania, and 481,000 in Wisconsin. Latvians, Estonians, Litvaks, Fins, etc know that if Ukraine falls, they are next.

Last week, the DNC organized a national call with Polish American supporters. The goal was to rally local networks to host events and spread the campaign's message. This strategic move is aimed at mobilizing Polish American voters who could be crucial in tight races.

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

RFK Jr. has reportedly told officials to hide cases, even as symptomatic farm workers test positive for H5N1.

Pandemics start with cover-ups.

I'm exposing the Trump administration through direct CDC leaks.

I report on bird flu, COVID-19, TB, measles, and other infectious diseases — using verified intel and trusted sources.
