Who the hell is Traditional Thoughts and whatโ€™s he all about? Well, Iโ€™m Danny, a conservative who values two things above all else: laughter and honesty. Let me tell you why these matter so much to me โ€“ and why they should matter to you all too. Laughter is the glue that holds us together. As a conservative, I believe in strong families and communities that look out for everyone in them. Life can be a total bitch โ€“ whether itโ€™s dealing with being marginalized by a tyrannical lib government or just the daily grind. Laughter always cuts through that. It reminds us to stay grounded, to enjoy the freedom we fight for, and to cherish the people around us. Itโ€™s not just a moment of joy; itโ€™s an absolute rebellion against despair!! Honesty โ€“ thatโ€™s the bedrock of everything I stand for. Some of you know about my history and some of the things Iโ€™ve been through. This makes being honest and having integrity my top priority in life. As conservatives, we value truth, even when itโ€™s hard. If youโ€™re standing up for whatโ€™s right or youโ€™re poking holes in the lefts woke nonsense, honesty, builds, trust. Thatโ€™s how we hold ourselves accountable to God, to our families, and to our country, without it nothing else works. Laughter and honesty, arenโ€™t just personal values โ€“ their conservative principles that keep us free, keep us real, and keep us united. So laugh loud, speak the truth boldly and letโ€™s build an X community we can all believe in! Stay honest, keep laughing and God bless you all. Now laugh at my stupid joke in this video!

REALITY CHECK: Someone clearly missed the memo. Your own idol has spoken she created and named her love team FreenBecky. Thatโ€™s not just a fan invention; itโ€™s the official ship, the brand, and the partnership she chose herself. So why the hostility? You keep creating ghost ships that donโ€™t last, and while youโ€™re out there โ€œhaving fun,โ€ youโ€™re also causing harm. Whether you see it or not, your actions create unnecessary drama and tension, not for FreenBecky but for the girls and the fandom, at the end they are the ones close to each other. This message is not aimed at fans who support the official ship โ€” itโ€™s for you bitter solos who continue to stir up conflict and chaos around them. This is about both Freen and Becky. Theyโ€™re not blind. They know who their genuine, loving, and respectful supporters are and if youโ€™re out here inventing ships to serve your own ego or delusions, just know: you are not part of that group. Time and time again, weโ€™ve been called delulu yet reality keeps proving us right. Meanwhile, you end up as the punchline. Arenโ€™t you tired of being part of a never-ending comedy act? (A rather cheap one, at that.) Itโ€™s also painfully clear that many of you donโ€™t even understand what a ship is or why it exists. Youโ€™ve reduced it to personal fantasy projection a form of selfishness that ignores the people you claim to support. Thatโ€™s not love. Thatโ€™s ignorance plain and simple. And laziness for research and understand the industry too. Letโ€™s be real: FreenBecky is not just a ship itโ€™s real. Whether itโ€™s romantic or not, the bond they share is deep, authentic, and built on mutual trust, care, and respect. Love does not need to fit inside your limited definition. The woman you supposedly admire has always spoken clearly: love has no gender. That includes love without boundaries, without labels, and without your need to constantly assign new โ€œghost partnersโ€ to her to fit your fantasy. While youโ€™re busy fabricating narratives, sheโ€™s out there winning with her real, chosen partner. ๐Ÿ’… So bring your tired arguments if you must. Just know Iโ€™ve got receipts. Plenty of them to make you STFU P.S. Nychaa has been friends with both of them for a while โ€” just like Jeff and Gemini. It just so happens that all of them also support the ship. Nychaa is currently going through a difficult time, but of course, what would any of you selfish people know about empathy? All you seem to know is how to hate, harass, insult, and fake love your own idol. THE ONLY SHIP SHE ALLOWS IS WITH FREEN Mumu.

Liam & alcohol addiction and substance use. Or maybe I should say Liam & depression Before any of you start calling him an alcoholic and drug addict again, let me tell you what addiction is. I'm not talking about the โ€œdictionaryโ€œ definition; you can search for it yourself. I'm talking about the โ€œreal lifeโ€ definition. Addiction is a survival mechanism. No one starts drinking out of nowhere or because they get bored at home. Addiction is much more than this. Addiction happens when the outside world is too much to bear and you have to find a way to survive. You're anxious, you're depressed, everything becomes too much and you don't know what to do. You don't want to feel anymore; you just want to be numb. So you start with โ€œJust one glass.โ€ and end with โ€œJust one more.โ€, after having several. You know itโ€™s not right at some point, but all you can think of is, โ€œSo what?โ€. That happens when you want to forget about the world. A world that can't understand you, a world that's too much to bear. The same goes for drugs. So, no, you don't start drinking or using substances for fun. Many of those who get on this path have a terrible depression. The problem with depression is that some can very easily hide it. There's one called high-functioning depression, and itโ€™s the most dangerous one because no one can see it. You are crumbling on the inside but look happy and sunny on the outside. You usually do that because you realise the people around you don't and can't understand what you are going through. So you just hide it. Because itโ€™s easier. Addiction is never the main problem, but that's all the people outside see. People never try to find the real problem. Itโ€™s easier to call someone addicted than to search for the actual reason that's behind it all. But we all know Liam was open about his struggles. He was in recovery, he tried his best to be fine. He fought every single second of his life to survive. That man went through so much sh*t some of you can't even imagine, in a world full of hate pointed at him. Yes, he probably had a bad depression too, among other things. And God forbid any of you to have a bad depression because you don't know how fucking hard it is to even wake up in the morning. Properly functioning requires a new level of mental strength. And he was fucking STRONG and BRAVE and KIND and I can go on for 2 days, and he DIDN'T deserve anything that happened to him. Keep this in mind. So, if you don't know about a subject, you don't have to talk about it. You know nothing. You have no idea what he'd been through. He openly talked about mental health and his struggles. He wore his heart out on his sleeve all the time. He was honest. And all you heard was โ€œalcohol and drug useโ€. You never cared about him. You never cared about the people around him who didn't support him at all, the people who harmed him in a lot of different ways. You don't care at all. You should be embarrassed of yourselves for being this blind. Open your eyes. Itโ€™s already late but do it at least now

Hereโ€™s another example from about a month ago. A Senegalese citizen, taken prisoner by AZOV, spoke about his experience with the Russians: > "If a Russian woman sits next to you, or even just walks into the room, youโ€™re expected to get up so she can sit down. Youโ€™re constantly called 'black' and touched. If, for example, your bodyโ€ฆ I donโ€™t even know how to explain it. They touch your skin. Itโ€™s very racist. Iโ€™m not the only one who went through this. Many students had similar problems. Some even fought with the Russians because of it. As a result, they were expelled and deported to their home countries. We were treated badly, without any sense of humanity." Interviewer: Do you want the Russians to exchange you? > "No." Interviewer: Why? > "Becauseโ€ฆ Because the Russians ruined my life. They destroyed everythingโ€”My plans, my future. And all of this happened because of the military contract I signed with Russia. The Russians will do anything to convince you. Their only goal is to get you to sign a contract and join their army. And the message I want to send to my African brothers, whether English-speaking, French-speaking, Senegalese, students, or anyone from any country, is this: Do not even think about joining this army. At first, they tell you one thing, but in the end, everything turns out completely different. Not to mention the money they were supposed to pay me. They didnโ€™t respect me. They had nothing. In the end, he thanks Ukraine for rescuing him and treating his wounds: > "I never stop thanking the Ukrainian people who received me and helped me. Itโ€™s thanks to their help that Iโ€™m here now, in front of you, able to speak. These are people with dignity, people who respect truth and human rights."

I just finished watching the first episodes of No Tail to Tell on Netflix, and honestly, it already feels like the wildest rom com fantasy ride of the season. From its first moments, you can tell this isnโ€™t your typical love story. Itโ€™s a blend of folklore, modern life, and chaotic fate that hooks you quickly and keeps you curious. At the center of it all is Eunโ€‘ho (played by Kim Hyeโ€‘yoon), a 900 year old gumiho, a nine tailed fox being who has lived for centuries and absolutely refuses to become human. Sheโ€™s mischievous, sharp tongued, self serving, and emotionally guarded, having spent her long existence gaming the balance between good and bad deeds so she never loses her immortality. Sheโ€™s a gumiho I have always wanted, with bite, sass, and style. Then fate and literal chaos intervene. A strange accident involving Kang Siโ€‘yeol (Lomon), a world class soccer star known for his confidence, discipline, and narcissism, flips everything on its head. One moment, Eunโ€‘ho is untouchable, powerful, and detached. The next moment, sheโ€™s losing her mystical edge and becoming human without warning. I mean, she spent centuries avoiding this. The show balances humor, mythology, and emotional chaos. Eunโ€‘hoโ€™s reactions to human flaws, especially her first encounters with Siโ€‘yeolโ€™s fame, ego, and everyday life, are equal parts hilarious and insightful. Her ability to bend situations to her will in her gumiho state is contrasted brilliantly with how lost and confused she becomes as a human. Episode 1 closes with a surprising twist. Itโ€™s a visual and emotional jolt that sets the tone for the entire series: this isnโ€™t just fantasy, itโ€™s fantasy that feels grounded and heartfelt. I have a mix of excitement and intrigue. Iโ€™m already loving the push and pull. Even though itโ€™s early, No Tail to Tell already balances fantasy and real emotion in a way that feels promising. Thereโ€™s wonder, thereโ€™s chaos, thereโ€™s humor, and thereโ€™s the sense that both leads will challenge each otherโ€™s long held beliefs. If the first episode is anything to go by, this will be one of those series that gives you the laughs, the myths, and the heart pulling moments. #NoTailtoTell

This speech by Stephen Miller is so deeply evil itโ€™s hard to fathom it coming from a White House employee. This is pure Nazism. The in-group is โ€œmorally superior,โ€ โ€œordered,โ€ โ€œbeautifulโ€ & โ€œnormal.โ€ The out-group is โ€œabnormal,โ€ โ€œscarredโ€ & โ€œdeformed.โ€ The in-group goes to church on Sunday (Miller is Jewish). The out-group is โ€œviolent,โ€ โ€œjunkies,โ€ & โ€œpredatorsโ€ This is precisely how the Nazis spoke about their political opposition. It is a full-throated commitment to eugenics as policy. In reality, you just need to watch Miller to see everything he claims to be afraid of: hatred, jealousy & violence. He is the most โ€œdeformedโ€ man in America. Finally, when Miller brings up the boogeyman of โ€œAntifa,โ€ itโ€™s important to remember the original โ€œAntifaโ€ were antifascists in Weimar Germany who were the first people sent to Dachau. There is no left vs. right anymore. There is life vs. death. โ€” โ€œThe leftist is fundamentally motivated by envy, by hatred, by jealousy. The leftist looks at what is beautiful and what is good and what is natural and is filled with envy and hatred. The leftist looks at a perfect family with the perfect life and a perfect job and perfect kids who goes to church every Sunday and is filled with the feeling of inadequacy and jealousy and they covet and they turn those emotions ultimately into a desire to subjugate, to oppress and to inflict pain and suffering. It's not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations and you see any photograph of those who were assembled to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person. Not one looks normal. They're all deformed in some way in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism. Why is that? Why? You look at two photographs and you see a normal American street, you see an antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating? Why is there not one normal looking person among them? Every one of them through the course of their life and their decisions has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways. The point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred. Trust your instincts to all people and cross all civilizations. You know what normal is. You know what beautiful is. You know what good is. You know that families are right. You know that children are precious and beautiful and must be protected. You know that the criminal and the junky and the predator is a threat to normal, healthy living. This is so much deeper than issues about taxation and regulation, although they're incredibly important. It's about normal, healthy, ordered living. And the violent leftists for these deep-seated reasons, going back to the earliest wisdom taught to us in the Bible about coveting. And I'm not talking about rich versus poor. I'm talking about a much deeper kind of coveting. Coveting people who are morally superior. Who are superior in the simple, truthful way they live their lives. People that they look at who are happy and ordered and peaceful and contributing to the communities. That burns an ember in them and that's how you end up with the horrors we've seen throughout history. Where good families are dragged that into the street and executed.โ€

We all want to feel smart. As humans we pride ourselves in being the most intelligent species on the planet. But to be smart one really needs to master the basics of critical thinking and not simply the typical herd mentality we see all too often these days. Iโ€™ve been accused of a lot of things. And the accusations are always intended to create doubt, not just in my own mind to make me question reality, but also doubt in the minds of those who read what I write. In truth, it has absolutely no effect on me in the slightest. Iโ€™m pretty confident and comfortable in my ability to discern fake from reality. I make my own mind up because Iโ€™m not afraid to stand alone if I need to. But Iโ€™ve seen doubt corrupt minds of many people, mostly really stupid people, but also people who are simply afraid to stand by their own convictions. I get it. Itโ€™s daunting and frightening to feel all alone. I used to feel that fear a long time ago. But I spent years completely isolated and alone, pushing everyone away, and I ended up learning the most valuable lesson I could ever have hadโ€ฆ and thatโ€™s to trust myself and my gut instinct. And Iโ€™ve lost count of how many times itโ€™s saved my life. Itโ€™s so easy to be swept away by the crowd and to want to simply conform. Weโ€™re a social species and instinctively we want to be part of a crowd, to fit in to society, and to not feel like the freak fringe. But the one important question many fail to ask themselves is who determines what is right or wrong. In todayโ€™s world we see cancel culture, popularity contests, and we somehow have been conditioned to believe that someone with millions of followers and making a lot of money from it must be doing and saying something right. Itโ€™s that 21st century celebrity culture. Surely if someone has 5 or ten million followers and viewers and is deemed some kind of celebrity, thatโ€™s the way to go, right? But we donโ€™t ever seem to pause and ask ourselves if itโ€™s even real. Is it reality or just a house of cards? How often do you find yourself seeing or hearing something and thinking to yourself you know the answer or you believe something said is wrong because you may know about it, just to then question yourself and get swept away because thousands believe differentlyโ€ฆ thousands believe itโ€™s something else because they heard some popular person say so? And instead of standing by your beliefs, you surrender to the crowd because itโ€™s easier? And as soon as you do it once, then twice, it slowly becomes habit. You become lazy. You stop thinking for yourself and allow others to lead you to a conclusion or belief. Youโ€™d be shocked at how easily it happens and how often it does. And those podcasters with millions of followersโ€ฆ theyโ€™re counting on it. And what youโ€™ll always find is that theyโ€™re never working alone. Theyโ€™re always in groups and packs where they all just echo each otherโ€™s voices and opinions like a hive mind without ever needing to evidence it. They use clever techniques and wording to make whatever they say seem so plausible. They use the right jargon and lingo. They name drop. They make out as if theyโ€™re in some secret circle of knowledge. And you get drawn in, against everything you yourself know to be true. I donโ€™t expect anyone to outright confess it or admit it. But just keep in mind that this is exactly what propaganda is. And some people are very good at it. They get paid to be good at it, like successful snake oil salesmen. You want so badly to not be that village idiot that you donโ€™t realize thatโ€™s exactly what theyโ€™re making you become because you allow it. I urge everyone to watch this short 4 minute video on the Asch Conformity Experiment and see how easily people get swept up by simply wanting to fit in. This is real life. This is how it works. And itโ€™s only up to you to be strong minded enough to not fall for it.

.david friedberg: โ€œA wealth tax takes away private property. If you give the government the ability to do that on even 1% of net worth for billionaires, the next step is 5% of the billionaires, or maybe 2% of millionaires, and then maybe itโ€™s 3% on people that have a net worth of 100 grand a year. And by the way, to figure out how much you have, what your assets are, youโ€™ve got to send me a list every year of everything you own. So now the government gets to look into your house, not just see whatโ€™s in your bank account, what stocks you own, but what cars do you own? Whatโ€™s the value of those cars? How much is that art worth? Whatโ€™s everything here worth? Private property rights go out the window when you institute a wealth tax. Because now the government has the right to assess all your value and to take anything they want from you based on a vote where a bunch of people raise their hand and say, weโ€™ll increase the tax rate to thisโ€”5%, 2%, 10%, whatever it isโ€”and hereโ€™s the threshold, and weโ€™ll take it every year. And when you do that, it eventually leads to 51% of people voting to take everything from 49%. Thatโ€™s the worst case. Thatโ€™s the end state of this. It eats itself, and thatโ€™s socialism. And so I think that a wealth taxโ€”and look, itโ€™s not going to affect me, this California tax. So donโ€™t think that Iโ€™m trying to speak my book or whatever the comments or bullshit are. I think this is a fundamental, principled issue. By degrading private property rights, we are setting a precedent in the United States that is the foundation of why the United States was set up in the first place, which is for all of us that came to this country to get away from tyrannical governments outside the United States that took all our shit and controlled everything and told us what to do all the time. And we came here and we get to have private property. Sure, Iโ€™ll pay my tax. Hereโ€™s my 53%. Thank you very much, government, for all the great stuff you do, for all the services you provide. But now, f*ck off and leave me alone. And thatโ€™s not the case anymore when this passes. Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna, all these national politicians, AOC, Elizabeth Warrenโ€”theyโ€™re all saying we need to have a national wealth tax now. So itโ€™s not just in California. This is going to be the issue between 2026 and 2028. The elites are the billionaires and the tech people. Theyโ€™re coming after them. And the manifestation of that is to create this wealth tax. And that gives the government the system by which private property rights are gone. And the United States has a very questionable future at that point. Thatโ€™s the thing I worry about the most. And I juxtapose that with my optimism about the future and this amazing shit. I mean, think about itโ€”this amazing shit thatโ€™s happening in the world. Weโ€™re going to have free f*cking energy. Weโ€™re going to live forever. Weโ€™re going to have all of this insane stuff that we never imagined. Abundance and resources that we could never contemplate. Happiness. Spending time with family. Working less hours. Robots that build shit for us. Everything is going to get better. Everything is getting better. Everything is getting more amazing. And then weโ€™re like, letโ€™s f*ck ourselves. Why not? Because weโ€™ll just f*ck ourselves.โ€

Blake Lively & Ryan Reynolds at SNL50 with some celeb reactions! In celebrity circles, โ€œsupportโ€ rarely means truth. It means power, access, connections, clout, and the need to remain in the safe circle. Hereโ€™s my take on why Taylor Swift and cast of the It Ends With Us circle rallied behind Blake and Ryan so quickly. For Taylor, I think itโ€™s the most human reason of all: loyalty. When a close friend repeatedly tells you someone is awful, harmful, or out to get them, you donโ€™t respond like a judge weighing evidence. You respond like a friend. You believe them. You feel protective. You think, โ€œIf you hurt my friend, you hurt me.โ€ And once that switch flips, most people donโ€™t stop to verify. They go straight into defend mode. Sometimes even revenge mode. And Iโ€™m not saying that to absolve her. Iโ€™m saying it because itโ€™s a real warning about how friendship can cloud your judgement. When someone you care about constantly frames themselves as the injured party, you can slowly turn into their soldier without noticing youโ€™ve become a tool. Loyalty starts to look like obedience. Support starts to mean โ€œdo whatever it takesโ€ instead of โ€œdo whatโ€™s right.โ€ For the cast and surrounding crew, the pressure is different but just as powerful. Itโ€™s not only that they may have been fed a version of events that pushed them away from Justin Baldoni. Itโ€™s that staying aligned with the biggest names in the room feels safer than standing alone. Flattery is addictive. Being chosen by powerful people feels like protection. And underneath it all is the fear nobody admits out loud: if I donโ€™t back them, what happens to my career? My opportunities? My reputation? Thatโ€™s how gatekeeping works. Nobody wants to be the person who says, โ€œActuallyโ€ฆ Iโ€™m not sure thatโ€™s true.โ€ Nobody wants to be the one who risks everything by refusing to clap along. And this is where Blake and Ryanโ€™s role becomes the centre of it. They didnโ€™t just โ€œhave friends.โ€ They had influence, status, access, and the kind of social power that can turn personal feelings into public narratives. When stars at that level push a story, everyone around them feels the gravity. People get pulled into the orbit whether they realise it or not. So yes, I can acknowledge that some of the cast may have been dazzled, buttered up, or simply scared. They went along because it felt easier than being the odd one out. But that explanation doesnโ€™t erase responsibility, because Blake and Ryan benefited from it. They understood the power dynamic. They understood what their names could do to someoneโ€™s image. They understood how quickly a whisper becomes a headline when itโ€™s carried by the โ€œrightโ€ people. And instead of handling conflict like adults, it looks like they chose something uglier: building a narrative, gathering allies, and turning influence into a weapon. And hereโ€™s the part I want to focus . A real friend doesnโ€™t drag you into their wars. A real friend doesnโ€™t put you in a position where your name and influence become a battering ram. A real friend definitely doesnโ€™t let you bulldoze someone without making sure the truth is solid first. So no, this isnโ€™t excusing Taylor. Itโ€™s naming the reality: loyalty can be exploited, and powerful people know exactly how to exploit it. And if youโ€™re still blindly defending Blake and Ryan, itโ€™s not โ€œgiving grace.โ€ Itโ€™s enabling.

I know it's easy to discard gaming from the 80s, 90s, and even the early 2000s as nothing more than nostalgia viewed through rose-tinted glasses. One aspect that often gets overlooked in that debate is actually based on facts, not just overly sentimental nostalgia. Having a computer and wanting to get the most out of it - and sometimes even just to get it working at all - required you to be far more invested, curious, and hands-on, so maybe that's why anyone who experienced that era feels a stronger connection to it. You had to read up on things, learn, and tinker with both software and hardware. If you had a PC in the 80s or 90s, it wasn't a "one and done" purchase. There was constant upgrading: swapping out a crappy sound card for a better one, replacing a small/slow hard drive, installing a CD-ROM drive, doubling your RAM from 1 MB to 2 MBโ€ฆ the list went on and on. It meant installing and updating drivers so everything actually worked. It meant understanding compatibility issues - all without the internet in the early days - so you relied on magazines, manuals, and friends who had "been there, done that." And that was just the hardware side. Then came the software: getting drivers, configs, and setups tuned perfectly so you could squeeze every last bit of performance out of the machine. Some games simply wouldn't run unless you freed up those final kilobytes of conventional memory. There was even a whole industry built around "managing your PC" with tools like Norton Commander and countless others. These days, there is... No more fiddling with AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files. No fine-tuning HIMEM.SYS. No IRQ conflicts with your sound card. No more boot disks. Juggling hard drive space? Forget it - drives now come in terabytes, not megabytes. Dealing with a 5.25" floppy, a 3.5" floppy, and a CD-ROM drive all crammed into one case? What a drag. Saving up for that shiny new VGA card to replace your old EGA? Not a thing anymore. And yet, if you ask older gamers who lived through the 80s and 90s, most of us actually enjoyed customizing and troubleshooting our machines. It was part of the experience - part of the joy and excitement. Sure, it involved plenty of trial and error and frustrating "OMFG, why isn't this working?!" momentsโ€ฆ but when it finally worked, the reward was so much sweeter. Finally freeing up those last couple of kilobytes of your 640K base memory? Glorious. Replacing that pathetic PC speaker with a real sound card? Pure ecstasy. To all you old-school gamers out there, I hope you experienced it the same way. I always felt that the need to tinker endlessly made the whole experience more rewarding. You were more connected to your machine and understood it on a deeper level. These days, you just click a button and the game downloads and installs itself. I have a modern PC, of course. It's been over 20 years since I last had to do any real tinkering. That's convenient, sureโ€ฆ but the magic and curiosity is gone.

Telling the Truth in a Post-Truth World โ€” John MacArthur There is a kind of insanity that says, โ€œI can do anything I want. I can live any way I want.โ€ And because the consequences are not instantaneous and immediate, although they well could be, because the wages of sin isโ€”what?โ€”death, because God is a God of mercy and God allows sinners to survive and even enjoy common grace, they somehow come to believe that they can continually store up wrath against the day of Godโ€™s judgmentโ€”as Romans 2 saysโ€”and there will be no consequences. Everyone understands and everyone livesโ€”letโ€™s put it this wayโ€”under the all-encompassing, all-sovereign authority of natural law. It is sovereign, it is without mercy, and it will bring consequences, mostly immediate, to its violators.But because people think they can get away with sin and evil behavior and immorality, and they can live with lies and deception, our society is drowning in that. This has become, frankly, for us a comfortable norm. In fact, itโ€™s so normal to violate the moral and spiritual laws of God that our nation is making laws to protect those violations. Moral and spiritual law is violated, starting with children who are being told at the ages of four and five that they may not be a girl when they are a girl, they may not be a boy when they are a boy, and they need to have some transgender treatment, all the way to the unbelievable advocacy of abortion from an entire party in the United States. The real terrorists in America didnโ€™t hit 9/11; the real terrorists in America are people who advocate abortionโ€”they massacre the creation of God continually. The whole society, I think, has sort of arrived at the cynicism of Pilate, who say, โ€œWhat is truth?โ€ cynically, and then walked away before he had an answer. The Russian grand chess master by the name of Kasparov made an interesting statement. He said this: โ€œThe point of modern propaganda is not only to misinform or push an agenda, it is to exhaust your critical thinking so as to annihilate truth.โ€ This culture is making critical thinking an exhausting battle. They just continually hit us with a barrage of lies and deception with the notion that they can wear out our will to fight; and it works. It works in the culture for the unregenerate, who are falling into that kind of insanity. It even works in the church as supposed church leaders and pastors cave in to the demands of certain sins in the culture. This post-truth ideology really, really flourishesโ€”and this is an important thing to noteโ€”when it is empowered by a group identity. If you have one sort of loose cannon running around like Chicken Little, โ€œThe sky is falling, the sky is falling, the sky is falling,โ€ you sort of laugh at Chicken Little. But if Chicken Little has a group identity, if heโ€™s empowered by a whole lot of other people who are saying the same thing and thereโ€™s a collection of liars committed to this, theyโ€™re empowered. So you have the LGBTQ community, you have the trans community, you have cults, you have false religions, you have aberrations of all kinds. And the individuals involved in those things are not alone; they are basically empowered because they have teammates. And at that point, they become ensnared in the immoral, deceptive lies, and the web captures them. They are being mutually affirmed by their other teammates, and then they are being even more mutually affirmed as the culture affirms them and the nation makes laws to make sin righteousness, and to make righteousness a violation of law. You come along or I come along and confront that, and we find itโ€™s impossible to convince them of the dire deception they are in and its terrifying consequences because weโ€™re on the outside. And what do they say to us? โ€œYou havenโ€™t lived my life. You havenโ€™t walked in my step. Who are you to tell me what to do.โ€ These groups, as they get stronger and stronger and larger and larger, insulate each other in their lies.

Yunjin getting emotional speaking about what this tour means to her ๐Ÿฅบ ๐Ÿถ This tour has been so fun tho guys, you have no idea! Iโ€™ve been talking about this with a lot of ppl, this tour has been so much fun and itโ€™s been so good for us spiritually. Weโ€™ve learnt so much, weโ€™ve learnt to much about each other, our team, and how to perform better? Because weโ€™re really serious about wanting to make every show better than the last. So we debrief and monitor every show, and we get together and give each other feedback. Like, โ€œletโ€™s be more in sync on thisโ€ or โ€œletโ€™s fix these partsโ€. Through giving each other feedback, we really want to show an improved version of ourselves, and weโ€™re really taking extra care of this for this tour. In doing so, these days weโ€™ve felt like weโ€™ve improved bit by bit, and felt like weโ€™ve become more united and confident, which has made this tour an even more meaningful and precious experience. And itโ€™s not just us, but fearnots too - you guysโ€™ energy gets up there? Like you guys get better each show at showing your energy. And itโ€™s honestly so rewarding: you have no idea how much it means to us, just to see people enjoy themselves at a show. It means so much more than you think, so when we see you guys jump with us and sing. And we hear you guys shout freaking โ€œIโ€™m an otaku bestieโ€? Itโ€™s freaking crazy guys, like I get really emotional every show, like Iโ€™m not even joking. So, really because of fearnots, Iโ€™ve really come to realise that weโ€™re able to keep growing continuously. And that if you have a clear driving force, no matter what anyone says, and even in times when you donโ€™t believe in yourself: as long as thereโ€™s one person who believes in you, if you believe in that one person, anything really does become possible. Itโ€™s not even just the 5 of us, or just fearnots, or our team of staff? But it feels like all of us have become more united, and Iโ€™ve really felt a sense of ์ • (๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ: ๐˜ข ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ๐˜ด ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ, ๐˜ต๐˜บ๐˜ฑ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ด), so Iโ€™m really proud of that and it feels like this tour has become a really precious one for me.

โ€œIs JD Vance a Political Coward, a Personal Coward, or Both?โ€ JD Vance said this in a recent interview with UnHerd: โ€œ99% of Republicans, and I think probably 97% of Democrats, do not hate Jewish people for being Jewishโ€ฆ there is a real backlash to a consensus view in American foreign policyโ€ฆ we should be able to say โ€˜we agree with Israel on that issue, and we disagree with Israel on this other issue.โ€™โ€ Fine. Name the issue. Go ahead. Say it clearly. Is it Jewish communities in Judea & Samaria? Is it taking the gloves off against Iranโ€”Americaโ€™s enemy? Is it military cooperation that strengthens America and creates American jobs? Be precise. Be specific. Name the policy youโ€™re โ€œdisagreeingโ€ with. Because hereโ€™s the problem: you and people like you keep downplaying the massive rise in antisemitism on both the Left and the Right, as if itโ€™s fringe or imaginary. It isnโ€™t. And a huge portion of it is laundered through Israel. โ€œIโ€™m not an antisemite, Iโ€™m just anti-Zionist.โ€ Okayโ€ฆ then whatโ€™s your criticism of Israel that doesnโ€™t collapse into the same old ignorant, obsessive, conspiratorial Jew-hatred the moment anyone asks a follow-up? Because most of the โ€œcriticismโ€ from the right-wing influencer class doesnโ€™t hold water. It doesnโ€™t survive scrutiny. Itโ€™s not โ€œpolicy disagreement.โ€ Itโ€™s fixation. Itโ€™s resentment. Itโ€™s a vibe! One that always seems to end at โ€œJews.โ€ And you canโ€™t pretend you donโ€™t know who youโ€™re standing next to. Tucker Carlsonโ€”who elevated you and pushed you into national Republican stardomโ€”has mainstreamed this genre of โ€œanti-Zionismโ€ that constantly bleeds into antisemitic insinuation: loyalty tests, dual-loyalty smears, Talmud hysteria, and endless โ€œIsrael controls Americaโ€ signaling. And thatโ€™s why it stood out that one of your strongest condemnations lately was aimed at Sloan Rachmuth; who asked a question you should be able to answer in public without melting down: How much influence does Tucker Carlsonโ€™s orbitโ€”including his son Buckley, and the broader network around themโ€”have on your thinking and staffing? Itโ€™s easy to dismiss antisemitism on the Right when you justโ€ฆ donโ€™t look at it. Itโ€™s easy to say โ€œthatโ€™s not antisemitism, itโ€™s just Israel,โ€ when you use โ€œIsraelโ€ as a rug to sweep it under. But we can see whatโ€™s under the rug. When every TPUSA-style event reliably produces yet another obsessive USS Liberty question, that isnโ€™t โ€œforeign policy nuance.โ€ Itโ€™s a tell. When prominent right-wing personalities give an on-blowjob to figures like Nick Fuentes, that isnโ€™t โ€œedgy discourse.โ€ Itโ€™s an ecosystem. When Candace Owens and other influencers rant about Jews, Israel, and the Talmud like itโ€™s a civilizational panic button, that isnโ€™t โ€œcriticism.โ€ Itโ€™s antisemitism with a costume on. This exists on the Right. Itโ€™s not small. And it cannot be ignoredโ€ฆ especially by someone auditioning to lead a country. So why are you ignoring it? Hereโ€™s my contention: because youโ€™ll say or do anything for power. Youโ€™ll cozy up to Jew-haters because you want their votesโ€ฆ and because YOU think you NEED them. Thatโ€™s not just cowardly. Thatโ€™s dangerous. And itโ€™s anti-American. So prove me wrong. If youโ€™re โ€œjust anti-Zionistโ€ and itโ€™s โ€œjust about Israeli policyโ€: Name the policy. Be specific. Say it plainly. No winking. No fog. No dodge. Anything else is just cowardice.

What is it like to grow up in one of the most talked about families in the world? Well, todayโ€™s guest is Ivanka Trump - someone whoโ€™s lived much of her life in the public eye, from childhood through business, and all the way to the White House. From a young age, her life was anything but normal. She grew up surrounded by media attention and moments that most people could never relate to. At just nine years old, she was dealing with reporters outside her school during her parentsโ€™ divorce - an experience she says shaped how she saw trust and the world around her. As she got older, that pressure didnโ€™t go away. She built a career in real estate before stepping into government and working at the highest level during one of the most intense political periods in recent history. I found myself coming back to something we discussed around how living under that kind of scrutiny forces you to get really clear on who you are, because if you donโ€™t, the world will define it for you. And a lot of this conversation comes back to that idea. Being intentional with your time and your decisions, and even what you allow into your mind, because without that, itโ€™s very easy to get pulled in a direction that isnโ€™t really yours. I wanted to know: - How do you grow up under constant public scrutiny? - What does pressure actually do to a person over time? - How do you know who to trust when youโ€™re in the spotlight? - What is power really like behind closed doors? Thereโ€™s a moment where she reflects on how, for a long time, protecting herself meant building walls and not trusting people, but over time she realised those same walls can stop you from having real connection. Let me know your thoughts after watching this one.

I lost my mother a year and a half ago and grief taught me something I wasn't expecting. Here's the Stoic technique that turned it into gratitude (from Letting Go by David R. Hawkins): All grief comes from attachment combined with the refusal to accept that everything is temporary. The more you depend on external things and people to feel whole, the more vulnerable you become to losing them. The Stoics had a practice for this called negative visualization (the primary other name for the Stoic practice of negative visualization is ''premeditatio malorum'', a Latin phrase translating to "the premeditation of evils" or "pre-studying a bad future") In any moment, hugging someone you love or drinking a glass of water, imagine this is the last time you ever do it (the goal is to wake up to what you already have before itโ€™s gone). Because there will be a last time and it won't announce itself. I lost my mother a year and a half ago. There was a moment where I hugged her for the final time without knowing it. Sitting with that reality is one of the most powerful ways to activate genuine gratitude โ€“ gratitude that clears the mental clutter and puts you in a state where you can actually move forward. The book draws a line between the smaller self and the higher self: The ego is the illusion of separateness. Although this illusion can be useful at times, it distorts the underlying reality that everything is interconnected. Marcus Aurelius believed we are hardwired for service and connection & that living in that truth is where real fulfillment comes from. Here's the paradox that changed how I show up in relationships: Chasing love makes it harder to find. Your vibe attracts your tribe. I used to highlight my strengths, hide my weaknesses, and perform but it never worked. When I committed to showing up in radical truth I stopped dating entirely for over 2.5 years and met my wife 8 to 9 months after I started again โ€“ we built something real from the very first conversation. The energy you put into yourself is what gets reflected back to you by the world. The choice to live from love shapes everything โ€“ your relationships, your character, and the legacy you leave behind. I love you, mom. Thanks for all the wisdom you shared with me that I was too naive to understand. You gave me many lessons that continue to unfold even unto this day. Thank you for giving me a love for wisdom, and an ambition to learn to love wisely.

My answer: Why do these robots have human parts that portray typical male and female forms? This is going to be a very hard for me to answer, but I think itโ€™s important to understand. The most powerful urge in humanity is the mating ritual. Males and females do extraordinary, impossible tasks to complete the circle of furthering life. The neuropeptide release, endorphins, pheromones, with every sense organ in the body, form profound Monumental memories. Designed for humans to overcome every obstacle to have the best chance to further our species. We have separated logic from emotions and emotions from logic, as if they are separate things. They are in fact, one thingโ€”different sides of the same coin of humanity. These emotions are in every single one of us as the first principals of human existence and is based on one single thing: That thing is encapsulated in the word: LOVE. We seek love and we seek to give love as the first principle of humanity, everything that ever was and ever will be arises from the fertile ground of: LOVE. If you canโ€™t see it keep digging and you will see the root. Thus the emotional component of pair bonding is a profoundly strong opiate ifโ€”mechanicallyโ€”hijacked and sold back to you as a monthly subscription, it is a weapon. It allows the 75 year wedge that has taken place between connections of humanity to be fully severed, especially for life pair bonding. It spans from financial, political, philosophical, and deep hurt foundations. But have no illusions it exists. Now enter humanoid robots that can fulfill any fantasy at any time for any reason that one could possibly think of. It will become the most addictive pervasive and destructive force we have ever witnessed. There is already damaged connection of intimacy for many people, this will be permanently severed. This will break a chain of millions of years that formed every element of ambition for us to move forward. It would be highly useful for an enemy to flood markets, both legally, and what one would certainly be one of the most pervasive underground markets with these types of robots. This is to occupy young men who otherwise would be building, to change this world, into a prison of hours upon hours, days upon days, years upon years of fantasy that will fuel addictions like we haveโ€”neverโ€”seen before. Locked in rooms, uncoupled and disconnected from the very core of the first principal reason we are here. And it will all come at an initial low cost that was slowly increased the monthly subscription plan, for life, of the investment you made into this robot โ€œconnectionโ€. They will also have the ability, when they find ways to get more cash for a new kink, to download new feature sets on a fairly regular basis. Iโ€™m not a dystopianโ€”I am anti-dystopian but itโ€™s vital for us to realize what the future looks like for some of us. It is not easy writing this and I assure you itโ€™s not easy to understand what I see in the future. It all sounds like great fun games just like everything initially and until you realize the deep philosophical reasons why itโ€™s not. And of course there are those that will think I am crazy and the most prude way. Laws? Banning robots are not going to fix the problem. In fact, the underground economy that will arise will be robust and quite unlike anything weโ€™ve ever seen before. And I promise you, you will never remove the robot from somebodyโ€™s life once they become deeply addicted to it. Never. I canโ€™t leave you without my prayer: We must as a species mature. We need to train and teach from first grade, to the day you leave this place, that the most important thing on this planet is human connection and love. Once this becomes an accepted axiom and the majority align with a deep desire to form these pair bonds in an honest and candid manner we can mitigate the effects of what this future may bring about. I have thought about this for a very long time: We need to true connection and we need true love

The final scene in The Godfather Part II, with the family gathered around the dinner table, was originally going to include Marlon Brando, but he pulled out at the very last minute. Coppola had to rewrite a whole new ending the night before the shoot. He explains: โ€œItโ€™s a very interesting story, because I had written this scene that we go back to, around the period just before the first Godfather, when they were all youngโ€ฆ My idea was that they would come together, finally, at the end, as a family. And the end of the movie would be a big, beautiful scene with Marlon Brando and Al Pacino, sort of summing up the whole saga that had gone down. And I was negotiating with Marlon Brando right up to the last minute saying, โ€œMarlon, please, just one day. Weโ€™ll give you this money.โ€ But Marlon was so mad at Paramount - for ultimately not paying him any money on the first picture, or whatever he was mad about - And although I didnโ€™t know it until the last day, ultimately, it wasnโ€™t going to be possible to have him in the picture. So I went to bed that night really worried. I had lost the end of my movie. I had to shoot it the next day. I had no idea what to do. I was sleeping in the Chateau Marmont Hotel. I had this scene. I had paid all this money to get Jimmy Caan to come back and some of the other actors to be in the last scene. And in the middle of the night, I just had this idea. And I wrote it - which is that they were all gathered for a surprise birthday party for the Don. And so after this scene plays out, in which Michaelโ€™s decision to join the Marines is kind of examined relative to really what all we know is going to happen, and what this young, beautiful, collegiate man whoโ€™s a war hero, who goes straight, is going to end up to be: this man without a heart, whoโ€™s killed his own brother and alienated his wifeโ€ฆ And I thought there could be one beautiful scene with him and Don Corleone as we remember him from the first movie. Since Marlon didnโ€™t come, I made it the surprise party, and I built it up to the point where they all said, โ€œOh, heโ€™s here. Heโ€™s here.โ€ And they all run out of the room. And as youโ€™re waiting for Marlon to come into the room, you just stay on Alโ€ฆ And I came up with the solution at, like - three in the morning. And the next day they said, โ€œWell, Marlonโ€™s not coming.โ€ And I said, โ€œThatโ€™s all right. Iโ€™ve got a scene we can do without him.โ€ And it was this one. Also, I like that staging kind of, especially about families who ultimately dissolve in front of your eyes, the idea that you have a table full of people. And one by one, someone argues or someone goes off, and then youโ€™re just left with one โ€ฆ And everything else now is just sound. The father comes, and you know heโ€™s there, and you feel heโ€™s there, but youโ€™re left with Michael alone.โ€ This quote comes from the director's commentary track off the Godfather Part II Blu-ray
