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.

Trump had expressed that he wanted the King of Norway, Harald, to invite him to Norway. So the King invited Obama instead.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

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.

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.

I need your support. Please Follow my page and spread the truth.

How to Think Clearly About (Maybe) Replacing Biden

"Chief Justice John Roberts, writing in his majority opinion, appeared to argue that the liberal justices overreacted to the court's decision in their dissents. 'As for the dissents, they strike a tone of chilling doom that is wholly disproportionate to what the Court actually does today,' Roberts wrote."

Rather ironic and telling that Chief Justice Roberts shows more concern over the tenor of dissents from his liberal justices, and not a single solitary chirp ever about the rampant ethics and a…

Here's the problem. The guy explicitly says that his conversations with DOJ cannot even be used as *evidence* against him. This is where ACB smacked him down, but of course, that wasn't enough (as an aside, I've been kind of impressed with her lately).

Anyway, it's one thing to declare something like this when it's all just hypotheticals. But he says this *knowing* that his conversations with DOJ contain *clear evidence* of corrupt intent, and that removing them would eliminate a key piece of evidence. So apparently, even though policing state elections has absolutely nothing to do with a president's constitutional responsibilities, and even though the conversations include evidence of him stepping outside the boundaries of his duties, that stuff is unadmissable.

Which, apparently, means that any discussions he has with officials regarding taking action which, for anyone else, would be a clear violation of the law, are inadmissible as evidence against a President.

So it seems to me that Jack Smith's mission, should he be allowed to continue, is clear: prosecute *everyone else* to the hilt. Show the American people the Trump sized hole in the law where a President would be answering to the people if his corrupt jurists hadn't bailed him out. Let everyone know that if you help a president commit a crime, it will be *your ass* on the line, while he can play with house money.

Of course, then there's the Presidential pardon to worry about ...
