The character of the British people is unique. It is that which has shaped our institutions. It is that which has made them so valuable. It is that which makes us stand up for liberty more fiercely than any other country in Europe. And we must never submit that character to any other nation.

Brilliant interview with John Major by Amol Rajan He tears into Brexit, “It has made us poorer which is emphatically not in the interests of our country. The world saw us as a member of the EU and it was a megaphone to magnify our power in the world. So instead we are isolated and outside.”

Dave Smith explains how Woodrow Wilson’s entry into WWI and the imposition of the Treaty of Versailles on Germany led to Hitler and WWII In fact, Winston Churchill himself also criticized the Treaty of Versailles. He predicted that “the frightful rancor and fear and hatred” caused by it would “in a generation or so bring about a renewal of the struggle of which we have just witnessed the conclusion.” However, Churchill is not off the hook for US entry into WWI, though. He once said, “The maneuver which brings an ally into the field is as serviceable as that which wins a great battle,” and as First Lord during WWI, he said, “It is most important to attract neutral shipping our shores in the hope especially of embroiling the United States with Germany.”

“Education is cheap in Nigeria because our lecturers do not know jack about what they teach.” — Podcaster On one hand, some Nigerians argue that the cost of education has become unaffordable. On the other, some mock our universities as “cheap” and of little value. So which is it? Is Nigerian education too expensive, or is it so cheap that it is considered worthless?

What do Gothic Cathedrals, Pink Floyd, and Chappell Roan's Grammy’s dress have in common? They're all examples of 'the grotesque.' But, as John Ruskin defines in ‘The Stones of Venice,’ there is either creative and positive, or base and vulgar grotesquerie. One is born out of seriousness, imagination & faith, the other out of mockery and bawdiness.

Pope Leo XIV at UNESCO asks “what does it mean to be human?” Watch and listen to the Pope’s magnificent reflection: “What does it mean to be human? Every culture is challenged by this question, which lies at the heart of every form of knowledge, every art and every religion. Even in the twenty-first century, after all, we cannot take for granted that we know who the human person is or what it means to live as a human being. Indeed, every generation is called to grapple with this question, especially in the face of tragedies that, regrettably, occur even today. Before all else, the human person is someone who is conceived and born. Thus, first of all, to be human means to be a child. None of us chose to be so. None of us decided from whom, when or where to be born. This evident truth sheds light on something that is not merely biological but ethical: as children, we are all brothers and sisters. From the outset, our humanity is a gift and a trial, a promise and a responsibility. For every human being, birth establishes a primordial bond — a communion of life that has its source, and its first educational setting, in the family. Secondly, we are all born naked and in need. We are poor by birth, in need of bread and words, of care and affection — that is, of all that nourishes body and spirit. We know this well, and yet, as we become adults, we risk forgetting it. It is precisely those in need who suffer the greatest consequences of this forgetfulness, whenever their humanity is betrayed or cast aside, exploited or deceived. Forgetting the circumstances of our birth obscures the very idea of human life, because it detaches life from the history common to us all. Thus, life is no longer understood as a gift, but as a commodity. It is no longer viewed as a summons to care and responsibility, but as a product to be exploited. Indeed, this tragic alternative reminds us that to be human is to be free by nature. Since all of us have been children, our freedom begins with our response to the freedom of the one who first turns to us — whether with gestures of affection or rejection, of loving welcome or neglect and cruelty. Thirdly, to keep alive the memory of our common humanity is to recognize its grandeur — that is, its immense potential — even though it is diminished by many forms of evil and injustice. Those engaged in the fields of education, science and culture are called all the more to care for every person, so that the beauty of our freedom may shine forth. This beauty has a name: justice. Freedom is indeed beautiful when it is oriented toward goodness and truth; it is disfigured when it descends into arbitrariness, violence or the thirst for power. To be human, then, implies a responsibility before history: the human being is one who grows, learns and works with both hands and mind. By that labor, we may cultivate the earth or disfigure it, create works of art or destroy them. At this particular juncture, we must recognize that the most terrible of “human works” is war, for then science itself is placed at the service of an inhumane will to destroy and to kill.”

Lent is fundamentally a battleground for us, a struggle to address is our lives the way in which we have become lazy or even negligent in our Christian life.

If conservatism is not ultimately about economics, what is it about? 'The defence of the West.' This, in one short, simple phrase is as near as I can come to expressing the overall mission of conservatives now. That defence involves securing our nations against internal and external threats alike. I shall enlarge on those threats in a minute. But what are the core convictions we are defending? Not having time to pen a treatise, or even speak as long as a German politician, I shall set out my views with English brevity. We conservatives believe that man has a basic sense of right and wrong and an amazing creativity when free to apply his talents; but we also believe that his nature is flawed, such that without restraints applied by convention and law he will destroy himself and others. We believe in free, limited democratic government, as the framework most likely to minimise opportunities for mischief and abuse of power; but we scorn the association of vox populi with vox dei, knowing that no mere majority vote can make what is good bad or what is bad good. We understand that in some areas government has to be strong. It has to be prepared to use force to defend the nation's security. We appreciate the majesty and rituals and pomp of the state, operating in its proper sphere. But we also believe that what is public ultimately exists for what is private—that it is the family (not the state or nation or even the Church), which is the basic institution of our society, without which all the rest collapses. We are suspicious of attempts at institutional change, unless those institutions have become in their present form a threat to the whole future of the country—as the trade unions and nationalised industries were, for instance, in Britain when I became Prime Minister. We view the world in which we live as in need, not of re-ordering according to master plans devised by enlightened experts, but rather of constant renewal according to timeless truths and rich traditions. And so we are unashamedly patriots. For as Edmund Burke wrote two hundred years ago: “To be attached to the sub-division, to love the little platoon to which we belong in society, is the first principle of public affection. It is the first link in the series by which we proceed towards a love of our country and to mankind”. So here we stand. Rock solid. Rooted in a clear, tried, tested view of the world and the heavens and everything in them.

So in a nutshell, we have photo receptors in our eyes which send a signal to the brain to initiate production of melanin, which as you know protects the skin and an effect of that is we become more melanated (tanned). So when we wear sunglasses, we prevent that process from happening and that’s one of the main reasons people burn. So the main principles are we should be in the sun more often. One way we can reduce being burned is by sun gazing. Or basically going out into the sun early, whether sun ‘rise’ or super early before it’s too harsh. The eyes then initiate the melanin production, which has an effect on our hormones and links to vitamin D, TRY THIS IS WORKED FOR ME 🌞

Reporter asks Sec Hegseth what would happen next if Iran attacks the US or its allies in the region: SECDEF HEGSETH: "The battle damage assessment is ongoing, but our initial assessment, is that all of our precision munitions struck where we wanted them to strike and had the desired effect, which means especially in Fordo, which was the primary target here, we believe we achieved destruction of capabilities. Ultimately, wherever it may be, whether it's in Iraq or Syria or bases in the Gulf. as the chairman said, it would be a very bad idea for Iran or its proxies to attempt to attack American forces."

Is climate change the same as global warming? Not quite. The warming of Earth — or global warming — is just one factor that makes up a range of changes that are happening to our planet, which is climate change. And we're studying all of it:

Stephen Miller is on point in regards to China with tariffs: "The Secretary of the Treasury is in the process of developing a plan. The President’s goals have been very clear on these points, which is that he is not going to allow China to continue to steal our intellectual property to continue to illegally dumping their goods into our markets to manipulate their currency."

The mode of existence of the world can be understood as the set of its fundamental characteristics that make both its existence and its transformations possible. In other words, what basic properties must a world possess for its evolutionary existence to be possible at all? Among the key aspects, several can be identified: (a) physical space must be either finite or infinite; (b) if infinite, this infinity must be either spherical or linear; (c) physical reality must possess the capacity to generate vast, stable structures and highly complex phenomena — which, according to our observations, it indeed does; (d) this capacity, as an active self-organizing property, must either have a beginning or be beginningless — that is, it either existed eternally, or the world was originally maximally simple and static before this property spontaneously emerged. : The author proposes that the mode of existence of the world is defined by a set of fundamental characteristics that make both its persistence and its transformations possible. In other words, for any reality capable of evolutionary development to arise, certain basic properties must be present. Physical space must be either finite or infinite. If infinite, its geometry must be either spherical or linear. Physical reality must possess the inherent capacity to generate vast, stable structures and highly complex phenomena, as we observe in our own universe. Finally, this self-organizing property must either have existed eternally or have emerged spontaneously at a certain moment from an originally simple and static state. This framework invites us to consider the minimal conditions required for a universe like ours to evolve intelligence and complexity. It frames the question of cosmic origins not as a mystery of creation from nothing, but as an inquiry into the necessary and sufficient properties of matter and space that allow reality to unfold as it has.

Why oh why doesn’t our establishment accept that its only moral obligation is to the British state and the British people? Not to global welfare. Not to international liberalism. To us, and our country, and our self-government. That is it. The moment they do that, so many of the issues which plague our society become easier to manage. Immigration is no longer a question of benefitting the largest number of global citizens but about boosting the British economy while keeping British people safe. Foreign relations is not about promoting obscure minority rights in far off lands but about securing British interests wherever necessary. And most of all we drop the idea that every culture in the world is the same and therefore anybody can fit in here, and celebrate the fact that Britain has a highly distinct, highly evolved culture all of its own that we want to cherish and protect. What’s so difficult about that?
