Elon Musk explains why school feels so boring School often gets learning backwards. Elon: "you want to teach to the problem instead of teaching the tools" Start with something real. Elon: "here's a car engine, we're going to try to understand how this car engine works. We're going to take it apart." To take it apart, you need tools. Elon: "along the way, you learn about wrenches and screwdrivers and all the tools that are needed" But that's not how school usually works. Elon: "we're going to teach you a course on screwdrivers and a course on wrenches. And you're like, why do I have a course on wrenches?" It's like learning to cook. A year of knife drills is torture. "Let's make tacos tonight" and you learn the knife in a day. Elon: "That would be like, say, a course on calculus without explaining what calculus is useful. And then you sort of forget it." Give people the "why" first. The "how" sticks.

The US has no alliance with Ukraine. Cut them off.
US "Here is Starlink, a powerful military technology. We'll give it to you for free and block Russia. Just please don't use it to strike Russian mainland targets. They have, you know, nuclear warheads and stuff, thanks". Zelensky: Uses it to strike mainland targets. US "Zel, see above. Also, btw, you may not have noticed, but we have a global oil/energy crisis atm, so can you please, you know, not use Starlink to hit Russian refineries and make things worse, esp with the midterms coming up. Ty". Zelensky, "nah, I think I will, and especially because the midterms are coming up. Go fuck yourself Trump". US, ok let's throttle their mainland access so they can't launch offensive strikes. Zelensky: "Omg I can't understand why the US would possibly do this. The US seems to support the other side."

The things that Data Republican is currently revealing are so outrageous and so shocking that many federal government insiders are simply dismissing them as being "not possible." Such people are wearing the blinders of human nature. Their loyalty to the institution of the federal government they were/are a part of blinds them to the misdeeds of people from that same institution. My article below explains; it's super short (~500 words). Please read if so inclined.

The entire premise of ā€˜gender transition’ is a fraud. After cross-sex hormones and surgery, the share of young Finns needing psychiatric care went from 19% to 49%! Finland tracked every young person sent to its gender clinics, for up to 25 years. Among those given cross-sex hormones or surgery, 19.2% had needed specialist psychiatric care before their first clinic visit. After their last procedure, 48.9% did. Their matched peers stayed flat. We were told cross-sex hormones and surgery would fix these young people's mental health. Finland checked. After the drugs and the surgery, far more of them needed psychiatric care, not fewer. What Finland found Finland sends every young person who wants a medical "gender reassignment" to one of two university hospital clinics, in Helsinki and Tampere. Researchers led by Dr. Sami-Matti Ruuska, an adolescent psychiatrist, and Prof. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, a professor of adolescent psychiatry at Tampere University, pulled the national health records for every one of them. That's 2,083 people under 23 who went to those clinics between 1996 and 2019. Each was matched with eight people of the same birth year and hometown, 16,643 in all. Some were followed for up to 25 years. The new numbers Critics claimed the first analysis might have counted people who hadn't had their drugs or surgery yet. So in September the authors ran it again, starting the clock only after each person's last step: cross-sex hormones, breast removal, or genital surgery. •Before their first gender-clinic visit, 19.2% had needed specialist psychiatric care. •At some point after their last procedure, 48.9% did. •Their matched peers, counted from the same dates, went from 14.4% to 13.2%. After their last procedure, these young people were about six times as likely as the general population to need specialist psychiatric care. That held for both males and females. billboardchris.com/news/2026…

BREAKING: French police have encountered rioters and looters armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns on the streets of Paris, Marseille and Lyon. The information comes from the Le Journal du Dimanche journalist Laura Tchekov, who says that her newspaper has received this information from sources within the DGSI, France’s main internal security agency. The weapons were carried by minors and young adults described as being part of organized crime groups but sometimes also close to the Islamist movement in France. The journalist says that not all armed rioters were arrested and that several of them remain on free foot. It’s believed that police officers refrained from making arrests as they thought they could be both outmanned and outgunned at the moment and that hundreds of people were on the streets, creating a risk of a shoot-out that could have resulted in a large number of wounded and dead.

Worth reposting... Lets examine the last 25 years of one-party control of Oregon: In 2001-03 Oregon's budget was $34 Billion: 32% for education 25% for social programs 12% for infrastructure 12% for administration 6% for public safety 13% for everything else The 2025-27 budget was $140 Billion, over four times higher: 18% for education 45% for social programs 7.5% for infrastructure 14% for administration 5% for public safety 10.5% for everything else Focus on the money they are giving away: In 2001-03, Oregon spent $8.5 Billion, 25% of its budget, on social programs. In 2025-27, they are spending $62.7 Billion, 45% of the budget on social programs. That is 7 times as much and almost half the budget on handouts. The ā€œHealthier Oregonā€ part of Oregon Health Plan spends $1.3 Billion and offers free medical for illegal migrants. They spent $724 Million on ā€œhomeless servicesā€ = $60,412 per homeless person in 2024, and the homeless count rose anyway. Someone's getting that money, but you can walk around Portland and see all the homeless who don't look like they got any. Oregon schools sank to the bottom of the US for reading and math scores. To "fix" low graduation rates, Democrats passed a law stating that students don’t need to prove proficiency to graduate. They just extended it again for next year, and are boasting about increased graduation rates. Democrats aren't raising anyone out of poverty or improving education. They are building an empire of permanent dependency with themselves in charge. You can see their campaign ads saying, ā€œVote for us or the Republicans will take away your benefits!ā€ Kotek can’t blame Oregon’s money troubles on Trump. Democrats have controlled Oregon politics this whole time, even as the Federal government has flipped party control 5 times!

There's a lot of truth to this.
Left-wing men are assholes who pretend to be nice. Right-wing men are nice guys who pretend to be assholes.

In 1998, a woman stopped Shaquille O’Neal outside an arena and told him his sneakers cost too much for kids. He took $2,000 out of his pocket and handed it to her. She slapped it out of his hand. That same day he walked away from a $40 million deal and went off to make a $20 shoe. He tells it himself in the video below. He was leaving the building. She started on him before he reached the car. ā€œYou’re charging these babies all this money for the shoes.ā€ He had about $2,000 on him. He pulled it out. ā€œMa’am, I don’t make the prices. Here you go.ā€ She slapped the money out of his hand and kept going. Why wouldn’t you make a shoe that’s affordable. On the table at that moment was a Reebok deal. Forty million over five years. ā€œI thought about it. I was like, you know what, she’s right.ā€ ā€œSo that day, cut ties with Reebok, starting my own brand.ā€ He did not negotiate a payout. ā€œI told them: keep the money. I don’t want to make it a fight. I’ll still wear the shoes during the season.ā€ Then he went to Walmart. The new shoes were priced at $29 and $19. He also took Reebok’s designers with him. ā€œIt’s not that kids don’t want to wear 20 dollar shoes. They don’t want to wear shoes that look like they cost 20.ā€ ā€œI don’t care how much money I lose. Make these kids look good.ā€ He says the line has now sold more than 400 million pairs. Twenty-three years after he walked out, the company he is part of bought Reebok. He gave up $40 million rather than keep selling a shoe a mother could not afford. Would you have taken the forty?
