I walked through the red light district in Brussels today and it was one of the most horrible things I’ve ever seen. Young women standing behind glass while groups of men banged on the windows and haggled over them like products. Most of the women appeared to be Asian or Eastern European. The men crowding around them were overwhelmingly African or Muslim men, many still dressed in Islamic clothes. Anyone who looks at that and sees “empowerment” is sick in the head. I don’t know the circumstances of every woman there, but it was impossible to witness it and not wonder how many were there through coercion, desperation, trafficking, or poverty. Nothing about it looked liberating. Putting it lightly it was dehumanising. The women treated like livestock by the most depraved men I’d ever seen. This is Brussels. The capital of the European Union. The place where leaders gather, policies are written, and grand speeches about progress are made. Yet just outside the conference halls and beneath the glass towers, this is happening in plain sight. I only hope Ireland never comes to resemble it.

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine. In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted. odni.gov/index.php/newsroom/…

It seems hard to believe now but Zelensky was elected in part because of his dovish position on Russia. Part of his electoral pitch was “I’m going to negotiate with putin to end the conflict”. This is also why putin only invaded in 2022 - he thought Z would be pro russian

Articles like this are meant to you blackpill because we are “chopping down trees in Yellowstone.” But don’t worry this is completely fake. First, it’s meant to panic you about timber extraction when the National Forests were created in the 1890s for timber and watersheds. The Multiple Use mandate (a law passed in the 1960s) requires we manage American national forests for co-equal purposes: outdoor recreation, timber, grazing, watersheds, fish and wildlife. This means one “use” under the multiple use framework cannot, by law, preclude the others. Timber harvest under multiple use should be a source of American pride in conservation. Multiple use is a uniquely American innovation that gives many different types of people and businesses real skin-in-the-game in public land conservation. The 2026 Forest Service is pretty great at balancing conservation science, outdoor recreation, and extraction based livelihoods. Funny enough, despite what the article is trying to mislead you into thinking, the planned clearcut isn’t really even for timber, it’s mainly to remove dead down trees caused by insects/disease to prevent wildfire. The Biden era emergency declaration they’re using to speed this fire mitigation up is to prevent endless lawsuits from crazy NGOs that make management next to impossible. The proposed Bear Palmer project is less than 1 percent of the 3 million acre Custer Gallatin National Forest. It’s a tiny, localized vegetation removal project. The type of clearcut proposed here *sounds* bad to people who know nothing of Mountain West forests, but it’s well within the Custer Gallatin’s own Biden-era 2022 management plan. Forest management plans are documents that take years of science, manager, and public input to establish a sustainable management strategy including vegetation and timber plans. The management plan itself says a clearcut like this is the ideal path to regeneration for species like lodegpole pine because these trees are shade intolerant, meaning they need sunlight. So regeneration is best after what’s called a “stand replacing disturbance” or a clearcut. Bear Palmer is a prioritized stand because there is a lot of deadfall due to insect issues or big wildfire risks. Beyond all that, no clearcut happens without an additional NEPA and special assessments of wildlife, old growth, listed species like griz, and so on, beyond the requirements of their own plan. You can read hundreds of pages of these assessments on their website today. Clearcutting is literally *the* preferred regeneration method for lodegpole to reduce wildfire risk and disease within the forest’s own plan and meet ecological objectives for regrowth! It’s just crazy to me that supposedly environment focused publications can miss the mark so egregiously. Whose interests are served by making the American people think the Forest Service is bad at managing trees/wildlife?! It’s actually, in terms of its science and management plans, really good at that. I was so astounded by how terrible this article was that I had to look into the author, who is an “award winning Bangladeshi journalist” who recently moved here to do a degree in journalism at the University of Montana. Maybe before writing an article so strangely out of touch with the way we manage national forests like the Custer Gallatin this guy should probably learn a little more about the American system? Who funds the demoralization propaganda website Inside Climate News? Of course it’s the same opaque network of foundations (Ford, MacArthur, Rockefeller) pushing climate extremist degrowth nonsense everywhere else. Only in America do massive foundations push panic agitprop to undermine our own public land agencies/demoralize Americans about our national forest system written by people who got here 5 minutes ago.

Karmelo Anthony attorney Mike Howard is now asking the jury pool about current immigration policies in the US and whether they agree with them or not.

Putin initiated the biggest white genocide in modern history when he started a war that was intentionally planned to kill as many young Russians and Ukrainians as possible. The Retard Right thinks this is fine because Ukraine is run by JOOOOOOOS, ignoring that the principal financier of the Russophilic Ukrainian opposition is an Israeli dual citizen who fled Ukraine when the war began because he knew he'd wind up in a gulag. (The government subsequently expelled him from parliament and stripped him of Ukrainian citizenship.) And nobody wants to talk about how one of the biggest triggers of Euromaidan in 2013 was Putin convincing Yanukovych to resettle Chechens in Ukraine. Understandably, Ukrainians did not want to live around the Slavic world's equivalent of Spirit-Americans. I'm skeptical of Ukraine, but Putin is basically mirror universe Obama. Russia and BRICS are the source of this third worldist crap and I'm tired of it.

why would you ever need 8 bags at once when the grocery store is a 5 minute walk

Say what you will about these characters, but Moscow is one of the most beautiful and historic cities on earth. Its architecture spans almost a thousand years, and the city has references to some of the most important 20th century developments.

Why do Americans get so butthurt about the fact that, outside of natural beauty, America is a pretty uninteresting cultural experience. If you’ve seen one American city you basically have experienced all America has to offer.

Propaganda along I-80 in rural mountain west…

I Agree. Americans are less tolerant of even decent (but normal) child behavior, while in countries like Italy, there's more acceptance of their presence overall adaptations to make things easier, like bringing kids food asap after sitting down.

Genuinely though, why can’t seniors downsize. If they’re living in like a 3-4 bedroom house… why

90% of students don’t even know how to open or save a Word document when they come to my class, let alone format text. “Digital native” generation is tech illiterate & Grandma Luddite Heather must teach them the ancient ways

It seems there is an army of para-academic or just bookish people who don’t really produce work but are very emotionally invested in various academic signifiers. In a way that working scholars rarely are. All the best professors I’ve ever known are genuinely geniuses who don’t get riled up over hot-button talking points but will randomly say mind-blowing stuff about what they know. It is very easy to tell the difference between a real academic and someone obsessed with academia issues on social media.
