1. Kids are not dumb; the spelling system is. Proof ⬇️. Research shows it delays learning to read by 2.5 years (Seymour, 2003) for most &, if we extrapolate, it has 10s of 1000s of misspellings. Will the anglosphere care like the French who fixed 5000 words WITHOUT forcing ALL to

The official narrative has gone from: -Covid was naturally occurring, and there are no biolabs in Ukraine whatsoever To: -Covid was man-made, and the US funds over 30 biolabs in Ukraine OOPS! Simple mix up! Nothing to see here! I’m sure they lied for a good reason!

John Stuart Mill nailed Canada’s problem. A free country cannot survive when one side controls the schools, media, bureaucracy, courts, and cultural institutions, then treats every serious objection as misinformation, hate, or extremism. If your argument cannot survive open debate, it is not wisdom. It is weakness wearing a government badge. Canada’s problem is not that Canadians disagree. Healthy countries disagree. The problem is that too many people in power no longer think they should have to answer the other side. They confuse slogans with thought and moral posing with truth. Mill understood what our political class has forgotten: you do not even understand your own position until you can state the opposing case honestly and refute it fairly. Canada needs more of that again. Less censorship. Less sneering. Less expert class arrogance. More courage. More debate. More freedom.

U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee claims that Israel is successful not because of military, economic, or political factors, but because God directly favors and protects it. 🤡🇺🇸🇮🇱

“My preference has always been to take Kharg Island… I don't know that America has the stomach for it… You'd make a fortune." He’s talking about sacrificing thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of American soldier’s lives. So he and his buddies can make a fortune. That’s what he thinks we don’t have the stomach for.

97 out of 100 Senators had their campaigns funded by AIPAC. We knew there was a uniparty but I don’t think most of us knew what that actually entailed. Now that we do, we need to take steps to prevent this foreign influence over the American government.
97 out of 100 Senators campaigns were funded by AIPAC. That’s all I’m gonna say.

THE SELECTIVE NATURE OF HISTORICAL MEMORY. Two million Koreans killed in three years. And most people have never heard it called an atrocity. History is written by those with the power to choose what gets remembered. And what gets forgotten. @Byoussef

HERE WE GO 🚨 Britain’s Minister for Northern Ireland is preparing a major crackdown on social media companies to force removal of all content they say “is illegal” He says anti-immigrant talk causing outrage will no longer be tolerated (Holy sh*t) UK Secretary of State for Northern Ireland “Social media companies have a very heavy responsibility. It's why we're going to bring forward new powers next week to make it clear that social media companies need to take down illegal content, particularly when we are facing circumstances such as the ones we've seen in Northern Ireland over the last two days” This is going to be enforced under the Online Safety Act which Hillary Clinton flew over and helped pass ‘Under the UK’s Online Safety Act 2023 platforms must proactively assess, mitigate, and rapidly remove “illegal content.”’ Liberals are tyrants and the are going to being mass censorship until the western world is completely overrun with foreigners and conquered

🚨 U.S. LAWMAKER THREATENS SANCTIONS OVER X Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna has warned that Britain could face sanctions if Keir Starmer moves to ban or heavily restrict X. The warning comes amid growing transatlantic tensions over free speech, online regulation and the UK's Online Safety Act. What was once a domestic debate is now attracting attention in Washington. And the pressure is growing. @realannapaulina

"Chaos favours the establishment!" True! & A poem about the English spelling system was called "the chaos". Orwell called the system tormenting. Why do we give it to kids to learn & teachers to teach? It delays learning to read by at least 2 years. The French fixed theirs a bit lately & game-changer did NOT force current users to relearn or use the new spellings. Only next generations! Deal? youtu.be/Moc07fTsJT4?si=CQaw…

BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country. Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison. The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption. That means: • Every image scanned • Every message inspected • Every video analyzed All directly on your phone. Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data. Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes. In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach. Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device. Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.
