MEET KIMBERLY. If you’re using “11-1” to argue the lone juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial must have been wrong, watch this. Kimberly served on a statutory rape jury years ago. Eleven jurors believed the defendant was guilty. One refused. After hours of deliberating, the eleven eventually changed their votes to NOT GUILTY. Did the evidence change? No. Kimberly says they were tired. They wanted to go home. They didn’t like the teenage victim. A man they believed was guilty walked free. She still considers it one of the biggest regrets of her life. THAT is why I won’t dismiss the Clancy holdout simply because eleven people disagreed with him. Eleven people can be wrong. Eleven people can cave. Eleven people can just want the deliberations to end. The entire purpose of requiring unanimity is that the twelfth juror is allowed to say: No. You haven’t convinced me. And refuse to move.

MEET JESS GROSSMAN. She is beautiful. Young. Full of life. She is becoming a victim of the Canadian healthcare system/Socialized Medicine. Her only hope is to come to the United States to seek treatment, Her cancer was caught early. She did the chemo. The radiation. The MRIs. The procedures. Everything she was told to do. When radiation failed, surgery became her best hope. Her surgeon went from about 85% confident she could operate to 95%. Then Jess waited. Weeks for imaging. Specialists. Procedures. Reports. Cancer didn’t wait with her. By the time everything was finally completed, the tumor had spread too far. Surgery was no longer possible. Now Jess is starting chemo again, what she says is her LAST chemotherapy option. She’s also been referred to Memorial Sloan Kettering in New York, desperately hoping an American surgeon can still give her another chance. Jess wrote: “I was so prepared to beat this cancer. But those I needed to help me do that, weren’t.” That is absolutely heartbreaking. She was ready to fight for her life. She just needed the healthcare system to move faster than her cancer.

WANT TO SEE HOW AN INSURFFERABLE ADULT GETS MADE? LISTEN TO HER PARENTS. Jamie Komoroski got drunk, drove 65 mph in a 25, and crashed into newlyweds leaving their wedding. Bride Samantha Miller was killed. Her husband and two relatives were injured. And from jail, Jamie asks: Why did this have to happen to me? Her father responds: Because bad things happen to good people, honey. No. Something bad didn’t happen to Jamie. Jamie did something horrific to someone else. This is parenting malpractice.

Samantha is gone forever. Jamie got 25 years. And listening to this call, you start to understand how she became this insufferable.

This is the DSA co-chair. Let me summarize what he says in this video: We’re using the Democratic Party as a ballot-access vehicle, not because we share its goals. We build our own organization, get elected under the Democratic label, caucus with Democrats when it’s useful, and push our own agenda from the inside. We see the Democratic establishment as an obstacle, not a home.

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON IN MINNESOTA? A man tied to at least $36 MILLION in taxpayer-funded group homes was simultaneously living in Liberia and serving as a high-ranking government official there. Yet Minnesota still had him licensed as the director responsible for group homes caring for vulnerable adults. State investigators found neglect in 10 cases tied to Dukuly-linked homes. Some involved resident deaths. Then a reporter called. Days later, he removed himself as director from two facilities. He has not been charged with fraud, but that almost makes the bigger question worse: How does Minnesota keep sending millions of dollars into programs where glaring red flags aren’t caught until journalists or federal investigators show up? At this point, Minnesota doesn’t have a fraud problem. It has an oversight collapse.

🚨 BRITISH WOMAN UNDERSTANDS AMERICA BETTER THAN MOST OF THE PEOPLE PAID TO COMPLAIN ABOUT IT Someone asked her what culture America even has. Her response was basically: Are you kidding me? Cowboys. Ranches. Rodeos. Southern hospitality. California surf culture. New York ambition. Midwestern communities. Jazz. Blues. Rock and roll. Hip-hop. Hollywood. Broadway. Baseball. Basketball. Football. Diners. BBQ. Thanksgiving. NASA. Silicon Valley. World-class universities. Laboratories. Inventors. Engineers. Entrepreneurs. And generations of Americans who served, sacrificed and sometimes died defending the freedom that allows wildly different people to live together in the first place. Then she nailed the part people miss: American culture became so globally dominant that people confuse its familiarity with its absence. That is an extraordinarily good observation. The world wears American culture, watches American culture, listens to American culture, copies American culture, builds businesses modeled after American innovation—and then some smug idiot asks what culture America has. Meanwhile, someone actually moves here and immediately recognizes what millions of Americans have been conditioned to sneer at. At this point, I am prepared to negotiate. We will trade Hasan Piker, AOC, Mehdi Hasan and Ilhan Omar for her. Four-for-one. Final offer. 🇺🇸 Welcome to America. You get it.

Canada told this man’s wife to kill herself with MAID because they had “no treatment” for her stage 4 ovarian cancer. They lied about HIPEC surgery. Lost her chemo requisition. Her oncologist never even met her in person. ERs sent her home with opioids while her lungs filled with fluid. So they evacuated her by ferry from Vancouver Island to Seattle. America got her into the system immediately. Started chemo. Gave her the surgery Canada said wouldn’t work. Every time she went back to Canada, she nearly died again, going septic in Canadian hospitals until her husband literally unplugged her from machines and evacuated her back to the US. They finally got him a green card in under three months with the help of a Congresswoman. Now they’re in Texas. His wife is heading into her THIRD remission. She squatted 175 lbs for five reps last week. Canada’s answer was death. America’s answer was treatment. That’s the difference. 🇺🇸

THIS 1996 CLIP OF KARY MULLIS ON FAUCI AGED LIKE FINE WINE Kary Mullis invented PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. In this 1996 interview, here’s what he said about Anthony Fauci: ➡️ Fauci doesn’t really know anything about the underlying science (Mullins says: “I would tell him that to his face.”) ➡️ Fauci doesn’t understand electron microscopy. ➡️ Fauci doesn’t understand medicine. ➡️ He described Fauci as an administrator rather than a scientist actively doing the work. ➡️ He said Fauci repeatedly declined invitations to publicly debate him. This wasn’t said after COVID. It was said 24 years before the pandemic by the inventor of one of the most important tools in modern molecular science.

THIS MAN JUST SAID THE PART NO ONE ELSE DARE SAY OUT LOUD And whether or not you agree with everything he said, his argument is brutal: Civil rights offered Black Americans such staggering moral authority because the injustice was real, inescapable and chilling. But his point is that moral credibility CAN BE SPENT. You cannot survive on the actions of your grandparents for eternity and ask that nobody judge what goes on in your neighbourhood today. Then he draws the comparison that really sticks: East Asian Americans. Exclusion. Forced labor. Internment. Racism. But they did build businesses, have families, create communities, assimilate and prosper without wrapping grievance permanently around their identity. And that is why the this argument is going to enrage some people. But, he is not asking who had the bigger loss. He is asking a much less comfortable question. What did you BUILD, after America eventually opened up the door? That one question makes all the difference in the world.

Well, well, well… what do we have here? Apparently, Zohran Mamdani’s NYC believes everyone should pay their fair share, unless NYC owes YOU money. Residents in Manhattan co-ops discovered the city had been calculating their property taxes using wildly overstated building sizes. One Upper West Side building was actually 22% smaller than the square footage NYC had on file. The city acknowledged the discrepancy and corrected the square footage going forward. Great! So refund the years of overpaid taxes, right? LOL. No. One building says it was denied a refund for the previous six years. A property-tax consultant who has analyzed hundreds of buildings estimates that 70% of NYC co-ops and condos may have overstated square footage. And NYC has since shortened the potential refund window from six years to three. I’m sure the city would show residents exactly the same grace if THEY underpaid their property taxes for years. Fair share for thee. Not for NYC.

Imagine being so heavily propagandized that you expect America to be a dangerous, hateful place… and then you get here. This German fan spent weeks traveling across the United States and said the biggest surprise wasn’t the soccer. It was how kind Americans were. He felt safe. Strangers went out of their way to help him. He was so overwhelmed that he cried. The world’s perception of America is often shaped by headlines, not reality. This video is a reminder that one of our biggest exports isn’t just movies or music, it’s misinformation about who Americans actually are.

DREW AFUALO BUILT HER CAREER DEFENDING WOMEN. NOW WOMEN ARE BEING TOLD THEY’RE WRONG FOR DEFENDING THEIR OWN EXPERIENCE. If you don’t know Drew, she became a massive TikTok creator by roasting misogynistic men. Her brand was unapologetic feminism, and she eventually turned that audience into podcasts, a book and a much larger media career. Then a recent podcast clip blew up. Her guest said trans women have a more beautiful understanding of womanhood and described the programming of cis women as sad. Drew agreed. The conversation went on to contrast trans women’s beautiful, expansive understanding of womanhood with cis women focusing on things like sexual violence and the realities associated with being female. And women understandably said: HOLD ON. There is nothing hateful about acknowledging that biological women and trans women are different. That distinction matters precisely because women’s bodies have shaped our lives: puberty, periods, pregnancy, childbirth, reproductive health, physical vulnerability and the risk of sexual violence. Those experiences aren’t propaganda. They aren’t some inferior version of womanhood women need to unlearn. They’re reality. And this is where I think creators have done real damage. We have normalized the idea that simply acknowledging biological differences is somehow transphobic. So women are expected to carefully validate everyone else’s experience while increasingly being told that describing our OWN experience is exclusionary. You can treat transgender people with dignity and respect while still saying biological sex is real. Those positions are not contradictory. And Drew’s apology fell short for the same reason so many influencer apologies do: too much explaining the intent and not enough acknowledging what was actually said. If your entire career is built around calling out people who demean women, you should recognize it when women tell you they feel demeaned. Women should not have to erase themselves to prove they are compassionate.

🚨 LIBERAL WOMEN HARASS TWO STRANGERS THEY DECIDED WERE ICE AGENTS AND CHASE THEM OUT OF A STARBUCKS IN NJ. At a Starbucks in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, a group of women saw two men, decided, with no proof, that they were ICE agents, and began confronting them. They accused the men of kidnapping people, called them disgusting, told them they should be ashamed, and continued following them outside into the parking lot. The men did not scream back. They did not threaten anyone. They remained calm, respectful, and walked away. So the entire scene was just a group of liberal women publicly harassing two strangers because they wanted the emotional rush of playing resistance hero. Then they will go online and ask why decent men avoid them. Because nobody wants to come home to a woman who treats paranoia, public humiliation, and uncontrolled aggression like personality traits.
