I don't think anybody really grasps how desperate this situation is. University professors are now saying they are unable to teach history because reading long books and passages is how a person learns history. College kids are incapable of reading more than a few pages. Some classes don't assign any reading at all now, only lectures. There is an assumption among the people managing this decline that reading is just a way of receiving information. It isn't. Proper reading is how we build the mental muscle to synthesize ideas and evaluate them. If the catastrophic decline in reading and literacy is not addressed now, we risk losing everything. Western civilization cannot survive the death of reading because it was built by people with the kind of cognitive depth that a culture of deep reading brings: Complex reasoning, extended internal dialogue, the capacity to hold opposing ideas in tension. Our systems and institutions are complex, and they require well ordered minds to maintain them. Reading forms minds, and the West was built by the richest minds in history.

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/…

These are the malinois of the cat world....🤪😹😹😹😹

doing flag day right!

“Iran needs to rein Hezbollah in and tell them to stop firing at Israel… Israel was very measured in their response” Thank G-D at least one person in the US administration has common sense and actual understanding of what’s going on. Thank you @SecWar @PeteHegseth 🙏🏼

Classic Konstantin Kisin street interview. Bloke marching with a big sign demanding a “socialist intifada” for the New Workers’ Party. Kisin: “What’s a socialist intifada?” Bloke: “If I’m being honest with you, I just got this at the stand over there… I don’t actually know the definition of the word intifada.”😂🤣 Zero clue what he’s chanting for, but the sign looked revolutionary so why not? Peak protest cosplay. The slogans are loud, the understanding… nonexistent. Much love and respect to @KonstantinKisin @triggerpod 👊🏼

Columbus Circle is the entry point to Washington DC, the seat of western civilization. For a decade, this monument was a homeless encampment smelling like piss and drugs and vandalized by the terrorist left jihadis. Trump has restored this monument to its glory. I’ve never even seen the water running until now. Decline is a choice. Preserve western civilization. God bless our ancestors. 🇺🇸

How do you know? You don’t audit them, and you’re obstructing the federal government’s audit, Rob. What are you hiding?

Ynet: Israeli officials are reportedly furious over U.S. efforts to discourage an Israeli response to any Iranian missile attack. According to the report, Israeli intelligence believes there is a significant chance Iran will launch missiles at Israel. While Washington is urging Tehran to limit its response, it is also pressing Israel not to retaliate. One Israeli official reportedly accused the Trump administration of “normalizing attacks on Israel,” questioning why the U.S. was justified in striking Iran after an American helicopter was downed, while Israel is expected to absorb missile fire without responding.

🚨 BREAKING THE SILENCE: MARCO RUBIO JUST DROPPED A TRUTH BOMB ON RADICAL ISLAM THAT WILL SHAKE THE WEST AWAKE! 🔥 Secretary of State Marco Rubio just went FULL WAR MODE on Fox News: “Radical Islam doesn’t want peace. It doesn’t want coexistence. It wants TOTAL DOMINATION of the West. The United States is their #1 enemy — and they’ve been coming for us through terror, infiltration, and stealth jihad for decades!” He named the monsters by name: Sayyid Qutb, the Muslim Brotherhood’s deadly playbook of dawa, hijra, and jihad. No more PC garbage. No more “lone wolf” lies. For 40 YEARS we’ve been gaslit by weak politicians and lying media — downplaying Orlando, Pensacola, and a thousand other attacks as “random” while the ideology spreads like cancer. This isn’t “Islamophobia.” This is REALITY. And the establishment is already trying to memory-hole it. RETWEET if you want this message BLASTED across America! Marco Rubio is finally saying what millions have known in their bones. The West will either fight this evil — or submit. #RadicalIslam #MarcoRubio #WakeUpAmerica #NoMoreEuphemisms

The revelations six years later are pouring out so quickly that it is impossible to keep up much less mentally process all this: * The Director of National Intelligence has documented 120 US-funded/owned biolabs in 30 countries many of which are manufacturing and manipulating infectious diseases. * Senator Rand Paul's committee has released the receipts concerning US funding/backing of the manufactured SARS-CoV-2 virus/vaccine as part of this program. * Senator Johnson has produced definitive evidence that US public health agencies knew of the grave dangers of the shot to everyone but said nothing. * Many officials are privately admitting/proving that the whole point of lockdowns was to preserve population immunity for the shot and block other avenues toward wellness. * Hardly any of this makes the national news and one wonders if the public mind has any awareness at all.

CNN’s Kasie Hunt: “The president recently signed an executive order to build a state-by-state citizenship list of eligible voters. What is DHS going to do with voter information?” DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: “We’re going to make sure that our constitution is upheld, meaning that ONLY citizens of the United States are voting. That’s the most important thing we can do to protect the integrity of our elections.” “It’s what SAVES America... That we’re not having GAMES like you might see in Sanctuary cities… Why wouldn’t we want to make sure it’s safe?” “The ONLY people that should be voting in federal elections are true American citizens.”

Eli Sharabi, ex rehén en Gaza, le dice la verdad en la cara a la ONU: "NADIE en Gaza me ayudó. Me trataron peor que a un animal. Los civiles nos vieron sufrir y vitorearon a nuestros secuestradores." Comparte esto. Los medios no lo harán.

“This technology is going to fundamentally reshape society & the economy which is why you should just let liberals control, manage, oversee, gatekeep, and regulate every single aspect of it.” Yeah, like: no.

Another angle: President Trump says a deal will be signed today. Hours later, Hezbollah launches 6 rocket and drone attacks against northern Israel. Israel responds with strikes in Beirut. Iran then turns around and says: “Look, Israel is sabotaging the deal.” Now we wait to hear President Trump’s response. If Washington places the blame on Israel, it risks creating a precedent where the IRGC and its proxies on Israel’s border can attack at will while Israel is expected not to respond. I hope that is not the conclusion reached.

Muslims were welcomed into Lebanon when it had a Christian majority. The moment they had enough power, they turned against the Christians. Listen to this fearless survivor of the Lebanese civil war expose Islam’s goal to take over the world.

The cutest cookie-making moment I’ve seen today

An African American just became the world's first trillionaire and a former fry cook at McDonald's is about to sign a peace deal with Iran. Never let anyone ever tell you America isn't the greatest country in the history of the world.

The Swedish government told her she owed 102% of her income in taxes. She was 68 years old, a children's book author, and held no political power. Yet, by writing a simple fairy tale, she helped topple a government that had ruled for 44 years. Stockholm, 1976. Astrid Lindgren opened her mail to find a tax assessment that defied logic. As Sweden’s most beloved author and the creator of Pippi Longstocking, her books had taught generations of children about courage, independence, and standing up to bullies. Now, she had to face a broken system of her own. She read the document carefully, did the math, and realized the truth: due to a quirk in the law that combined regular income tax with self-employment fees, her marginal tax rate had hit 102%. It was not a typo, nor was it a rounding error. One hundred and two percent. If she paid what they demanded on her extra earnings, she would owe more than she actually made. She would literally go into debt for the privilege of working. At 68 years old, she could have hired expensive accountants to quietly find loopholes and protect her wealth. She could have done what many powerful people do when systems overreach—safeguard her own position and leave everyone else to figure it out alone. Instead, she picked up her pen. In March 1976, she published a satirical fairy tale in Expressen, a major Stockholm newspaper. It was called "Pomperipossa in Monismania" (Pomperipossa in Money-mania). It told the story of a successful author who loved her country and worked hard, only to discover a tax system designed to punish honesty and success. The story was witty, precise, and impossible to misread. Pomperipossa was Astrid; Monismania was Sweden. The ruling Social Democratic Party—which had governed Sweden for over forty consecutive years—was furious. Prime Minister Olof Palme went on the defensive, dismissively claiming in public that Lindgren was a wonderful storyteller but a terrible mathematician. Astrid didn't back down. She stood by her numbers, and soon enough, the Ministry of Finance was forced to admit that her math was completely correct. She began appearing on television and speaking out publicly, pointing out—with the calm, steady patience of someone used to explaining things to people who aren't listening—that a tax system taking more than 100% of a person's earnings wasn't progressive. It was absurd. That September, Sweden held its national elections. For the first time in forty-four years, the Social Democratic Party lost power. While political analysts pointed to several contributing factors, like economic stagnation and inflation, everyone acknowledged that Astrid Lindgren’s tax revolt had fundamentally shifted the national conversation. She had made it safe to question a system that once seemed untouchable, giving a voice to frustrations millions of people felt but hadn't known how to articulate. The new coalition government reformed the tax code, cutting the most extreme rates, and Astrid quietly went back to writing children's books. But she never stopped paying attention. In the 1980s, when Sweden debated a new animal protection bill, she noticed loopholes that would still allow for cruel factory farming practices. She wrote articles, lobbied politicians, and testified before Parliament well into her eighties. In 1988, Sweden passed some of the strongest animal welfare laws in the world. It was widely nicknamed "Lex Lindgren" (Lindgren's Law) because everyone knew she was the driving force behind it. Astrid Lindgren passed away in January 2002 at the age of ninety-four. Sweden honored her with a state funeral attended by the Royal Family and the prime minister, while thousands lined the streets of Stockholm. But her true legacy lives on far outside of official ceremonies. Every child in Sweden still reads her books, every debate about fair taxation still references Pomperipossa, and animal welfare advocates across Europe still look to Lex Lindgren as proof of what is possible. She never ran for office, nor did she ever build a formal political movement. She had no credentials in economics or public policy—just an extraordinary gift for storytelling. But she had spent decades writing about Pippi Longstocking, a girl who refused to follow rules that didn't make sense, stood up to bullies, and never shrank herself to make others comfortable. Astrid Lindgren simply chose to live her life exactly like the hero she created. When authorities insisted that nonsense made sense, she refused to pretend along with them. And because she spoke up, the world listened.
