WOW

This is what native anger looks like when it finally snaps. The brutal truth.. Bald lad in the car screaming “Enough is fucking enough” as Belfast burns. The Irish have had decades of brutal civil war, The Troubles hardened both sides into soldiers who know exactly how to fight when pushed. Now Loyalist and Republican communities are starting to unite against the real enemy: mass immigration, Sudanese beheaders, and third-world chaos on their streets. This is what happens when native people, forged in fire, finally say enough. They don’t integrate. They conquer. The British and Irish people still have the fighting spirit. If this spreads and the natives fully unite… the outcome will be absolutely brutal for the invaders and the traitors who imported them. Deport them all. Seal the borders. Or watch the fire spread. My England for the English. England. True Grit. Restore. No apologies. No surrender.

Good morning, America! Lucy and Snoopy — beagles from Ridglan Farms. Thank you Lauree Simmons, Big Dog Ranch Rescue, and Ricky Gervais for fighting to stop animal cruelty!

He’s the President of the United States — not your ex, not your personal villain, and not the cause of your misery. You don’t have to support him. That’s America. But if someone is simply backing the sitting President and it makes you rage, cut people off, attack families, or act like garbage — you are the problem. You’ve turned politics into a personality disorder: nonstop outrage and toddler meltdowns online. Grow up. He won. The sky didn’t fall. Pay your bills, care for your family, touch grass, and move on.

I HATE birthdays but this year is special because I adopted TWO BEAGLES through my girlfriend Lauree Simmons and Big Dog Ranch Rescue and they are now living the good life!

In order to protect the human person in the age of #ArtificialIntelligence, we must once again reflect on the common good, the universal destination of goods, subsidiarity, solidarity and social justice. #MagnificaHumanitas vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Friends, please join me in prayer for those who gave their life in service of our nation.

The Acts of the Apostles gives us the great icon for the unity of the Church in the picture of the apostles gathered in prayer in one place with the Virgin Mary on Pentecost morning. The Holy Spirit is nothing other than the love that connects the Father and the Son, which explains why one of his great titles in the tradition is “vinculum amoris” (chain of love). Thus the Spirit draws all of the followers of Jesus together in unity.

As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

In order for you to be born, God used generations. 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1,024 eighth great-grandparents 2,048 ninth great-grandparents Thousands of lives. Hundreds of years. One divine story. The Bible says in Acts 17:26 that God “determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.” That means your existence is not random. It is providential. Pause and think about it. How many wars did He preserve them through? How many sicknesses did He heal them from? How many famines did He carry them through? How many wrong decisions did His mercy cover? How many prayers were prayed that you are now walking in? Some of your ancestors may not have known Christ the way you do. Some may have whispered simple prayers into the night. Some may have carried faith quietly. But through it all, God was writing a story that led to you. Psalm 100:5 says, “His faithfulness continues through all generations.” You are evidence of that faithfulness. You are not here by accident. You are not a statistical coincidence. You are part of a generational testimony of God’s sustaining grace. And here is the powerful truth: You are now someone’s “ancestor in the making.” The prayers you pray today, The obedience you walk in today, The faith you hold onto today, Will echo into generations you may never meet. So live intentionally. Live gratefully. Live for Christ. Because just as God preserved thousands before you… He is counting on you to carry the light forward.

We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled. An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t. ‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

Allow me to translate this letter from eBay for those who don’t speak legalese: Ryan, We got your unsolicited offer to buy eBay for $125/share (half cash, half stock) supported by your 5% economic interest in eBay. Our board, backed by the usual crew of bankers and lawyers who get paid either way, “thoroughly reviewed” it. We’re rejecting it. Not because the math doesn’t work. Not because the highly confident letter from TD Securities for up to $20B on top of your $9B cash pile is fake. None of that. We’re rejecting it because your entire approach to running a company is an existential threat to how we like to operate here. Here are the reasons we feel this way, and the things we considered before paying consultants to write this: 1) We’d rather keep milking eBay as a “standalone” cash cow than let you turn it into something bigger and better. 2) Sure, you’ve got real financing lined up and you “know people” with deep pockets, but we’re going to call it “uncertain” anyway so we don’t have to engage. 3) Your plan would actually force real long-term growth and profitability changes we’d rather not be held accountable for. 4) The debt we pretended you can’t even obtain, the operational integration and focus on seller satisfaction, and most importantly, putting someone like you in charge of the combined entity all sound like a nightmare for our current leadership structure because all of us would have zero job security. 5) The valuation math only looks bad if you ignore the 46% premium you’re offering our shareholders and the upside from fixing eBay the way you fixed GameStop, which we are choosing to do and hoping nobody notices. 6) And I hope we buried the lede far enough here: Your governance and executive incentives are completely incompatible with ours. You and your board take zero cash, no salary, no bonuses, no golden parachutes. You buy shares with your own money and only get paid if shareholders win. We, on the other hand, like our nice, reliable annual payouts regardless of whether the stock is flat or the company is just coasting. We’re not about to hand over our golden goose to a guy who eats only what he kills. Look, eBay is “strong” and “resilient” in the way every entrenched public company says it is while handing out eight-figure checks and perks to the C-suite. We’ve done the usual incremental stuff: tweaked the marketplace a bit, returned some capital, and we’d like to keep doing that without any cowboy from GameStop coming in and demanding actual skin-in-the-game accountability. Can you just leave us alone? Our team remains focused on protecting the current regime and delivering “value”… mostly to ourselves and our consultants. Thanks, but no thanks, Paul S. Pressler
Chairman of the Board, eBay

The Bible was written across centuries by different authors. Yet one consistent story remains: Humanity needed a Savior.

Oh no, a Dear John letter.....😬 The USMC should make this standard training. 😅

Full episode in the comments! JB Pritzker’s voting rights stance runs into Illinois’ own representation math in a way that changes the framing. The discussion centers on how voter percentages translate into actual political power.
