SORRY PRASHANT KISHOR: YOU ARE WRONG! ( An Open Letter) Dear Prashant Prashant Kishor Either you have got your basic facts completely wrong, or you are blatantly misleading the people of India ( reference your-enclosed interview to BBC News). My rejoinder: 1) India’s Muslim population is 14% but according...

@PrashantKishor Bottom line Sanjay ji is that Prashant is putting up his CV for the position of Amit Malviya in BJP so he started lying and distorting facts !! #Modi #LokSabhaElections2024

@PrashantKishor Thanks for exposing the lies of Prashant Kishore. He gets Media attention these days, even after repeated errors in guesses (some wild too), is because Godi Media gives space to all those hail Modi-Shah

@PrashantKishor Both of you are wrong. Congress did not get 23% vote share but only 21.19%, which is only 2% higher than 2019!

@PrashantKishor Selective cherry picking stats that too wrong ones seem to be the flavour of this election season. And pk is no exception. He’s just a self centric person looking for opportunities here or there.

@PrashantKishor I admire for your articulated and befitting reply to PK .I feel this exhaustive reply with arguments must have rattled him .I know PK has travelled extensively in Bihar and has a connect with the Masses but this time I also got appalled for his boss against Congress .

#WATCH | Saran, Bihar: Jan Suraaj Founder Prashant Kishor says, "I have been going across Bihar for the last 3 years, including 2 years on foot. I reached 5000 villages on foot. I do not ask anyone for votes. Why? Every 1-2 years, someone comes to you and asks for votes. Whoever comes to you, asks for votes. They tell you that they would do all of your work if you vote for them. Hearing this, you have been voting for them all your life. We made Congress win for 40-50 years, then we made Lalu Prasad Yadav the king, and for the past 20 years Nitish Kumar is sitting on that Chair. We made PM Modi win at the Centre. But the lives of you and your children didn't get better. Now, one Prashant Kishor has come here...Listen to what we say and vote for us. But what is the guarantee that we won't deceive you after winning? The earlier leaders sweet-talked to you. Everyone talks well earlier and then doesn't care about you after winning. So, Prashant Kishor can also deceive you like the others did. So, I don't even ask for votes. I will tell you a way to come out of poverty. If you learn it, you can vote for whoever you want. But if you vote in a way we tell you, education and employment for your children will certainly be possible in Bihar itself."

🚨Governor DeSantis BLASTS corrupt Congressman Byron Donalds for insider trading! Says the Founding Fathers would be shaking their heads! We've worked with different people in Congress to try to get a ban on this insider trading in Congress. I think the Founding Fathers would look at some of that and I think they'd just be shaking their heads if they saw what was going on. You're in the greatest nation in the history of the world. You are in a nation, I believe, that was blessed by God to serve this purpose in the world as the last best hope on earth. And you are in a position in the United States Congress, which look, it's not always performs up to a great level, but it's still an august institution in our government and you decide to do that. You know, that is not right! That's NOT what you should be doing. So that's one of the reasons why I think you need TERM LIMITS for members of Congress. I think that would be very helpful.”

"You can either produce excellence or you can avoid criticism. But you cannot do both of those. The reason that you don't have certain excellence that you want is because you are afraid of getting criticized. You are afraid of the judgment that comes with it. You are afraid of standing out. You are afraid of being alone. You are afraid of people looking at you. You are worried about what people think of you. There are 2 categories of things in this world: 1) Things that are up to you 2) Things that are not up to you Which category does your reputation sit in? Your reputation is not up to you. I'm the one who associates your reputation with something, not you. You just do things. What's up to you? How you act. Your decisions. Your actions. That is up to you. Your reputation is not up to you. Here's how I know that: You all have a reputation about me and it's not in my control. I get to say and do whatever I say and do up here. I am in control of saying it. I am in control of doing it. The moment words leave my lips, who has control over what is done with those words? You! You are in control of what you think of me. And there's no way everybody in this room is going to think the exact same thing about me. No way. When it comes to exceptional, what we've got to understand is you can spend your whole life trying to avoid criticism and earn reputation, and it still won't be in your control. We can waste a lot of time missing out on excellence we could have been producing if we were just simply LESS trying to engineer what we wanted other people to think about us."

Tucker Carlson is—to put it bluntly—transing himself into a leftist. Tucker announced that he is leaving the Republican Party. "I would not support the Republican Party. There's no chance I would support the Republican Party. I'm not going to support the Democratic Party. I don't know what I'm going to do. But at this point, you know, how could you support, how could I or any American voters support a political party that's not loyal to the United States? That puts the interests of a foreign country above those of its own citizens. Like, that's, that's, you know, it's not possible to vote for people like that." Here's the point that needs to be made about that statement by Tucker Carlson. He said he would not support the Republican Party, nor is he going to support the Democrat Party and that's where I would challenge everyone to pause our thinking for a moment. If you refuse to vote for the Republican candidate, then you are, in effect, joining the Democrats. This is not some abstention that gives you moral high ground, because you don't 100% agree with the Republicans, or 100% agree with the Democrats, so you can't in good conscience, cast your vote because it might feel like an implicit endorsement of things that you don't agree with. No, no, no. If you do not vote for a Republican, you are, in effect, giving your opponent, the Democrats, a vote. Surrendering your vote gives your opponent an increased chance of winning because we are in a binary system. Either their values will prevail, or our values will prevail. So, if you refuse to vote for a Republican because you have even a significant policy disagreement with that politician, then you are effectively voting for racism against white people because that's what the Democrats stand for—wokeness, DEI, and ESG. I have never met a politician, read about a politician, or studied a politician with whom I agree 100% of the time. Disagreeing with a president on one policy is not a reason to blow up the rest of our agenda and, effectively, join the enemy—even if you claim you're not joining the enemy. Again, you don't have to agree with a politician on every policy in order to cast your vote for him, support him, or to be part of this general political party apparatus through which he is able to challenge the communists and anti-American zealots who are trying to take us down. So, I'm sorry to see Tucker leave the Republican Party. That makes me sad.

You Are the Disruptor in Your Family Line You know, many of you, many of you out there are different from your family because you are the disruption in Satan's generational plan in your family. Joseph was the disruptor in the generational plans of the enemy in that family. You, in this time, in this season are a disruptor of the generational plans that Satan has been trying to ratify and continue in your family. You are the disruptor, the disruption of that cycle. Grab onto that like Joseph did in this time. Grab onto it because look where Joseph ended up. He got taken from a pit and put before Pharaoh. He looked like a slave but it was really a setup to bring forth a leader that had the vision from God. And the strategy from God to stop a nation from going into famine. I'm telling you, many of you are the disruptors in your family line and you should grab hold of that word and run with it in this time. Aired: March 23, 2026 Watch Here: Rumble:

CHOOSING A CAREER PATH IN TECH AS A NEWBIE Of course, there is an argument that when starting out in tech you need to go for the stack (programming language) most common in your location. It would be easier to land a job faster because most people are already building stuff with this. What if I tell you that it is not usually the case? From experience, it could be harder to land a good-paying job if you choose a stack solely on popularity. The reason is that everybody is already thinking like you. So the competition is tough. As a newbie going against other people who have been in the process for a while can be discouraging when it seems you are not rewarded for your efforts. Why not follow the steps I did? I did a bit of research and asked questions. I was told that node jobs were everywhere but Golang is an emerging market. I thought of it for a while and then decided that instead of fighting with others probably more skilled and experienced than I am for node jobs, I would position myself for Golang as it was sure to boom and I would be one of the few experts in the field in my location. Needless to say, this has paid off. Most of the jobs I get are by referrals. Let us be honest, how many Golang developers do you know? In Summary, it is harder and takes longer to break into the labor market competing against the multitude. Why not stand out? Why not try GO?

#WATCH | On political rift within TMC, AIMIM President Asaduddin Owaisi says in an interview with ANI, "... Those who called us the B team till yesterday are now gone. Those who were saying 'Seene me Madina, aankh me Kaaba', Yogi Adityanath went to Bengal and said that, 'We will not let this become a land of Kaaba'. Both of them are now sitting and drinking tea. Have you ever heard that after losing power, a party lost 20 MPs?... All the pigeons, from here to there, flew away. This is your party, and you were abusing us... Neither are you able to stop the BJP. The MLAs of your party fled, and the MPs are leaving. People are making claims about your party. You are not able to stop your own people, and you keep throwing your entire secularism thesis at us." On TMC's allegations that the BJP is responsible for the internal rift in the TMC, he says, "Might be, but you have been in power for 15 years... What happened? Mamata Banerjee and her party's corruption, her party members' hooliganism, misgovernance, and her having no connection (with the people). The SIR was also an issue. The SIR began in June last year, before the Bihar elections. How much did you do to include those people's names while being in power for 15 years? Why could you not decrease the anomalies? I have a different opinion on this politics of symbolism and going to the Supreme Court. The principle of separation of powers is enshrined in the Constitution of the country. The Chief Minister of a state is the executive. The executive has gone to the judiciary?..."

I remember the BJP made the poll cry of "400 paar" and that they'll change the Constitution. But after the elections, I was glad to see that the PM was humbled and was forced to bow his head before the Constitution. It was a moment of pride for the Congress party as we were able to explain to the BJP and the nation that no force can touch the Constitution. I know Mohan Bhagwat has said that India didn't get independence in 1947, that the Constitution is meaningless, and that you believe this in your heart. But let me tell you, we will never let their dream come true! And this Constitution is going to rule India always! : LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi in Lok Sabha

You repeatedly said that there is a great injustice to the people of Bihar. You even gave a long speech with slogans of 'Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod'.

Some may be genuine votes, but I'm not saying all of them are fake. There may be some genuine votes as well... It seems that the Congress party has colluded with the booth-level officers and should be taught a lesson. The Election Commission should take action on this, and Rahul Gandhi should also speak out on this issue. You, too, will have to answer about the work your government is doing here.

It is absolutely imperative that we as Christians vote in this election! Some say, “Vote your conscience.” That sounds nice but what if your conscience misleads you? I would say, vote Biblically. There are many issues at stake that we as Christians want to have influence on- The sanctity of life, the very definition of the family, our relationship with the nation Israel and so much more. Here, in an interview with Erick Stackeck I I give reasons for Christians to vote.

Dear Senator Henry Seriake Dickson Henry Seriake Dickson While I take my time to properly address your allusion of me not playing by the rules which I consider very disingenuous seeing how I followed the process and even when you had insisted there would be no primaries for senate I let things go and asked my teeming supporters to focus on the bigger picture, I toured the FCT pacifying my supporters and party people who rightfully felt disrespected as they were all waiting at their respective headquarters for primaries that never happened. (I played field politics, I never waited for anyone to give me ticket), I would like you as the National leader to watch this video again! This part of the interview was so painfully appalling to watch. It looked as if you were insecure and in competition with your Presidential Candidate. Your first one on one interview after primaries and instead of selling your candidates and giving confidence to people on how set the road to winning the 2027 election was, you made it about yourself. With all due respect sir, it looks as if you consider the NDC a Special Purpose Vehicle whose aim has been achieved just by being registered instead of a Political Party whose aim is to win the 2027 General election decisively!!!! The registration of NDC should be a means to an end and not an end in itself. As a leader of a Political party, your number one job in that interview was to pacify aspirants many of whom are rightfully aggrieved and secondly to call on supporters to bear with the party and support it but you ended up antagonising the very people you would need to win election. Every vote counts! A leader must stoop to conquer! No one can take away your leadership of NDC, no one is interested in that! The focus is on Nigeria is winning the 2027 election! It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better. There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego! Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!

It looked as if you are fighting a war no one is waging with you. You don't have anything to prove to anyone, just lead! It is also interesting how as a leader i see you shifting the blame with any process that doesn't go well or is called out. Even in this statement below, you did! Take all responsibility! The party is young. It was overwhelmed. Mistakes will be made. Accepting the mistakes and being accountable is how the party will get better. There is a whole battle ahead of us. Rescuing Nigeria from the current state it is in, should be the main focus not people's fragile ego! Let me round up with some words from Jim Rohn: IF WHAT YOU DID YESTERDAY IS STILL LOOKING BIG TO YOU TODAY, THEN YOU ARE NOT DOING ENOUGH!!!

Hero–Doctor Kirk Moore, who's now facing 35 years in prison, defends his decision to give saline injections instead of COVID death jabs: "What law did I break?.... [there was] no ingredient list... no toxicity studies... [the jabs were] studied for a total of two months." This clip of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore (@Moore22K) is taken from an interview with Shannon Joy (Shannon Joy) posted to Rumble on June 10, 2025. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "So my one position that I've said all along is, what law did I break? There is no law. There was no Covid law passed. There was no. Nothing that said that I had to do whatever the government says that I need to do. There's no law that says that. And the government is trying to kind of put me into this fraud side, like you said, you know, saying I. That I absconded or I misused or I purloined, you know, $28,000, $28,800 worth of product that they gave me for free and that, you know, that I had a contract with them to give it in such a way. So, I think that's, you know, that That's That's the law side of it. "The ethical side of it wasn't that hard for me. I'm doing what my patients wanted me to do. After a full discussion of what it is. I, have no ingredient list. I don't know what this product is. There are no toxicity studies. There are no carcinogenic, you know, carcinogenic studies. There are no mutagenic studies. There's nothing out there. This is something that was studied for a total of two months. "And the control group was. Was terminated, because they found that it had 95% effectiveness. Once the numbers came out and it showed that that actual effectiveness was less than 1%, by an absolute risk reduction, then that in and of itself should prove, you know, should show that, hey, this is just ridiculous. There was no benefit. There's nothing out there. "You know, you look at Brook Jackson's study and what it was that she was, you know, that she's tried to present in Texas. That's been thrown out, at least twice now. And you just look at all of the. Everything that's behind it. You know, you mentioned, you know, the ethical side of it. You know, the AMA code of ethics says that a physician is supposed to take care of the patient that's in front of them. Okay? That's your oath. My oath is if you were my patient, I would take care of you. You tell me what your concerns are, you tell me, you know, what your symptoms are, and we come up with a plan. I explain to you what the pros and cons of that are, and then you and I come up with a plan on how to treat you. "And I'm not treating you for your husband or your kids or your neighbors or anybody else. I'm treating you that's in front of you. Okay, that's in front of me. And we come up with a plan. So that's the code of ethics. "There's also a known issue with medicine and the legal system. And the, again, the AMA code of ethics says two things. We know that there is going to be a conflict between ethical and moral medical treatment of people and the law at times. And so as a physician, your duty is to try to do what you can, to do both to take care of your patient and to kind of reconcile the law. "So I did. I went to the state of Utah, I went to the House, I went to some of the Senate subcommittees, I, I was, I testified in some of these committee hearings, to try to get laws changed, mandate laws, mask mandates, Covid mandates, shot mandates. And we were successful. In the state of Utah, we were able to pass laws, that reversed the mask mandates. That made it actually, to some degree, a fineable offense for businesses to require Covid vaccines in order to go to work and to go to school. "And so that was my first step. The second step out of this is that if you cannot change that during the time that you're doing, you are, by ethics and moral values, you are required to take care of your patient in front of you, not to abide by, like you said, to abide by the law. So where is the AMA and all this? That's their code of ethics. I don't see them standing behind me and, you know, and trying to support the medical values and ethics that they, that, you know, that they claim on their website is one of, you know, one of their, you know, bastions of health and what physicians need to do."

I believe this building will have lots of new facilities. I asked your principal, 'Madam, what facilities do you provide?' And she named a whole bunch that even I didn't have in my school. So, I must compliment all of you; you are going to have this AI facility here, which is hopefully going to open even new frontiers and opportunities for you. So use these opportunities well. Your teachers and your parents make a lot of sacrifices for you to be here, to learn, to grow and to have a strong future. We must always respect what other people do for us and respect their participation in making us what we are. By the time you leave school, you may not have a full idea of what your life will be like. What will your future be? But you will have a good idea of who you are going to be as a person for the rest of your life. So, if that idea of yourself can include love for others, can include kindness towards others, can include honesty, can include the worth of working hard for your living and earning without having to cheat or lie, then I think you will be on the right path and you will have a successful and fulfilling life. That is what I wish most for all of you, as I said that this institution develops your heart as much as your mind is developed. And you have the whole world ahead of you. I wish all of you the very best for strong futures and beautiful lives ahead, and I wish the MCF much success in the institutions that you are building. I was very heartened to know the good work that you did during the 2024 Mundakkai landslides tragedy. And how you work not just in your institutions but outside of them also to build a better society for all of us. : Congress General Secretary & Wayanad MP Smt. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra ji 📍 Wayanad

THOMAS MASSIE on Trump trying to whip his vote on the 2020 restatement that war powers resides with Congress "His argument... [was] that he could bluff Iran into doing what he wanted" "[But that would've] given [Trump] the power to declare war without Congress's involvement" "he didn't convince me. I did vote for the resolution that restated the Constitution... says you got to come to Congress if you want to have a war with Iran" "his first mistake may have been making Marco Rubio Secretary of State" "his second mistake would be letting Lindsey Graham on that airplane so many times, whispering in his ear" "finally, [maybe his] biggest mistake is letting Israel control too much of his policy. Perhaps it was taking $200 million from Miriam Adelson" This clip of Massie (Thomas Massie) is taken from an interview with James Patrick (James Patrick) posted to YouTube on May 21, 2026. ----------------Partial transcription of clip--------------- "In January of 2020, I had a conversation with President Trump about war with Iran. Now, to put this in context, they killed Soleimani, not on Iranian soil, but in Iraq. And he was an Iranian general. And then, we had a drone flying over there, and they shot it down. "Now, whether it was over Iran or over the water, I don't know. Maybe we'll never know. But at that point, the president threatened to take action against Iran for that, and he was being encouraged to do so by members of his cabinet. "So we had a vote here in Congress in January of 2020, and the President heard that I was going to vote for no war. Basically, the vote was a restatement of the Constitution and that war powers resided in Congress. It was to say that President Trump cannot go to war with Iran without an act of Congress. "There were only three Republicans who voted for that. But the president heard that I was going to vote for it. So he called me up to whip me on this vote, and he said, I'm more, anti-war than you are. And I said, well, you— In fact, you are. You've not started a war. You're the first president that hasn't started a war. "Now, remember, this was his fourth year in office, 2020. You're the first president that hasn't started a war that I could vote for since I was 18. And he said, I guess you're right. Thank you for saying that. "His argument to me was that if we didn't constrict his ability to rattle the sabers and threaten war, that he could bluff Iran into doing what he wanted and therefore avoid war. And they said, well, that would work just fine unless they call your bluff. And then now we've given you the power to declare war without Congress's involvement, and you're obligated to war if your intention was to bluff. Now you're obligated to war. "And, that day, he didn't convince me. I did vote for the resolution that restated the Constitution that says you got to come to Congress if you want to have a war with Iran. Now, fortunately, that war did not happen. But here we are in his second term, and I think he's— "You know, his first mistake may have been making Marco Rubio Secretary of State. And then his second mistake would be letting Lindsey Graham on that airplane so many times, whispering in his ear. And then, you know, finally, it may be the biggest mistake is letting Israel control too much of his policy. Perhaps it was taking $200 million from Miriam Adelson. "That was a mistake that, I think, led largely to him being predisposed to listening to Israel's interests over America's interests with regard to war with Iran."

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

WHOA: South Korean President says Trump is such a great peace maker that he’s asking for his help to UNITE Korea. Don’t expect this two-minute clip to repeat on CNN or MSNBC. “And one thing that I would like that I wanted to say to you is that America’s role, not as a keeper of peace, but a maker of peace, is emerging more evidently.” “Many wars in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in the Middle East are coming to peace because of the role that you are playing.” “So among the many world leaders, I believe that you are the only leader who has made such accomplishments.” “And I would like to mention that the only remaining divided nation in the world is the Korean Peninsula. And I would like to ask for your role in establishing peace on the Korean Peninsula. So I look forward to your meeting with Chairman Kim Jong Un and construction of a Trump Tower in North Korea and playing golf at that place. I believe he will be waiting for you.”

The Circle (2000, Panahi)/ Iran "Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date." --- Jafar Panahi Full Excerpt: "Interviewer: The subject matter of 'The Circle' (2000) is controversial. You mentioned that the film is still banned in Iran. In fact, when I was watching the film, I realized that through the characters, there’s a lot of fear about the system, the establishment, the police. The women can’t smoke; they have to wear the chador; they seem to want to hide every time. This is all very clear from watching the film. Did you deliberately want to make a statement about the political situation in Iran? Panahi: I have to tell you again that I’m not a political person. I don’t like political movies. But I take every opportunity to comment on the social issues. I talk about the current issues. To me it’s not important what is the reason for what has happened. Whether it’s political reasons or geographical reasons: these are not important—but the condition, the social issues. It is important to me to talk about the plight of humanity at that time. I don’t want to give a political view, or start a political war. I think that the artist should rise above this. Political movies have limited time. After that time, it doesn’t say anything anymore. But if the whole thing is said in an artistic way, then it doesn’t have an expiration date. So it doesn’t really serve a political purpose. Then it can be everlasting, for always, and it could be for anywhere. But I know that politically, with the film authorities, with any kind of film that has some political background in it, they would take issue with it. And for this reason, that is what the problem is. Interviewer: Still, your film makes a very strong statement about the problems that women face in Iran. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. Interviewer: So that is humanitarian, of course, but it’s also political. Panahi: Yes, I agree with that. It has the elements. It all depends on how you look at it. If a person has only political views, then he will only see the political. But if you are a poet or an artist, then you see other things as well in the movie. If you are a socialist, you see political or economic or whatever different points of view. You mustn’t look at a film with only one point of view. If you want to see 'The Circle' (2000) as political, then it is one of the most political movies in Iran. By political, I mean partisan politics. But even the police, I didn’t want to show them as bad. In the first instance, you are afraid of the police. Because you are looking at them from the point of view of someone who is now in prison. And normally you see him in a long shot, but when they come nearer and you see them in a medium shot, you can see their human faces. Then it comes down to, “Do you need any help?” But he goes back again and becomes frightening. If I were being political, then I would always show the police as dangerous or bad persons."
