Look directly at Ro Khanna's own X account after Tuesday night.
He didn't post a bill to lower grocery prices.
He posted three words:
"DEI is back." 🤡
Read those three words until they burn into your memory.
Democrats didn't take Congress to help working fathers buy steak or pay the electric bill.
They took Congress to bring back woke quotas, gender lectures, and anti-meritocracy madness.
They lied to get your vote, and laughed in your face the next morning. 🔥

509 years ago today (according to the traditional story), Luther challenged a Pope. The resultant cause and effect didn’t start a new church, it reformed the one true catholic church. As Calvin says in his letter to Cardinal Sadoleto:
"[N]ot only that our agreement with antiquity is far closer than yours, but that all we have attempted has been to renew that ancient form of the Church… Indeed, in attacking, breaking down, and destroying your kingdom, we are armed not only with the energy of the Divine Word, but with the aid of the holy Fathers also."
Orthodox, but not Eastern, catholic, but not Roman.

I have discovered $50 amazon photo frames to be the PERFECT home display screen
They can be rooted, updated to run a modern browser, have WiFi and can be powered from USB
1280×800 resolution with a nice touch screen
I detailed how to hack these yourself in my latest video

I hate that I have to do this, it’s my least favorite part about my life. I knew my life would get even more dangerous when I announced I am suing California and began accepting invitations to speak on college campuses this semester.
I need to raise money again for security. Doing the right thing and exposing evil now puts your life in danger in today’s society. For example, a UC Irvine “lecturer” (teacher) is insinuating it would be funny to assassinate me and leftist are threatening to kill me constantly.
I will not cower to the radicals or the far left who threaten and plot to kill and destroy our country, yet the $30k–$50k a month it costs me just to stay safe doing my job is unsustainable. I make enough for my needs and my employees, but this added expense produces no return and is unsustainable on my own.

God bless,

In the comments of @harvardrepclub's recent Instagram post announcing @nickshirleyy's visit to campus, UC Irvine and Chapman lecturer Matthew Goldman endorses a potential act of violence against Shirley, just before the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Soldering is best learned up close, watching an expert's hands. Now everyone has a chance to try it.
Together with @imperialeee at Imperial College London, we captured a full soldering masterclass and processed it into 4D Gaussian Splatting-based content for students. Anyone can watch it in a VR headset or on 2D devices.
The class covers the basic techniques required to hand-solder surface-mount and through-hole components on printed circuit boards (PCBs).
It was a real co-design effort: we planned the capture together with the Imperial team, positioning cameras so that every fine detail stays visible from any angle, down to the tip of the soldering iron.
Thank you to May Tang (Teaching Laboratory Technician), Tanmay Lad (PhD Candidate in Bioelectronics), and Dr Adrià Junyent-Ferré (Associate Professor in Power Electronics) for this collaboration.
Try learning soldering via the Gracia app in XR or in the Gracia store on the web.

Devoured by the Revolution IX: The American Revolution
The Fever:
Most revolutions come into the world with an appetite. They promise justice, identify enemies, sanctify rage, and eventually discover that destroying the old order is easier than governing without becoming worse than the thing they replaced.
The American Revolution was different because its target was precise. It was not a war against class, blood, faith, family, property, or memory. It was a war against illegitimate power.
The Use:
The Revolution did not require Americans to worship the state. It required the state to justify itself before Americans. That distinction is everything.
France would later drown liberty in blood. Russia would build a secret police state in the name of workers. China would send children to destroy their teachers. Cambodia would murder people for wearing glasses. America fought a king, won, and then built restraints around the power it had just seized.
The Turn:
This is where history expected the usual ending. The victorious general keeps the army. The liberators become governors. The new regime explains why emergency power must continue a little longer.
Washington did the thing almost no revolutionary strongman ever does.
He gave power back.
The Lesson:
The American Revolution did devour something. Not its children, its priests, poets, or Soldiers.
It devoured the oldest political lie on earth: that people belong to rulers.
That is why every ideology of control eventually hates 1776. Communists hate it because rights exist before the state. Tyrants hate it because government answers upward. Bureaucrats hate it because liberty was declared before permission was requested.
The American Revolution was not pure because no human thing is pure. It was exceptional because it won power, then chained power.
That is the difference between a revolution that liberates and a revolution that eats.
Devoured by the Revolution VIII: Cuba
The Fever:
Cuba, 1959. The revolution arrived with beards, rifles, romance, and promises. It spoke of corruption, dignity, justice, sovereignty, and the people. Students, workers, intellectuals, priests, journalists, and middle-class dreamers imagined they were watching a nation free itself.
They were watching a prison change wardens.
The Use:
The revolution needed martyrs while Batista still stood. It needed students in the streets, guerrillas in the mountains, foreign journalists in love with the costume, and ordinary Cubans willing to believe the firing squads would only face the guilty.
Then the old regime fell, and the new one began teaching everyone what guilt meant.
The Turn:
Rivals were executed. Dissidents were jailed. Newspapers were seized. Priests were harassed. Property was confiscated. Former allies who thought they had fought for freedom learned that the revolution had no room for pluralism, only obedience. Huber Matos, a revolutionary commander, criticized the communist turn and was rewarded with twenty years in prison.
The party did not betray the revolution. It revealed it.
The Lesson:
Modern radicals love the poster version of Cuba because posters do not show cells, ration lines, informants, exile boats, or men shot after midnight against prison walls.
The revolution always begins by promising to liberate the people from corruption.
Then it decides the people are too corrupt to be free.

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...
...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY
He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."
His name is Rishi Sharma.
He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.
He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.
He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...
...FOR FREE
So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.
Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.
He does it out of pure gratitude.
In his words:
"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."
As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:
"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."
THAT is America.
250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...
God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

The Christian worldview is the only worldview that can justify and will maintain the human rights and freedoms upon which our nation was founded 250 years ago today. Islam won’t (sharia law), Hinduism won’t (caste system), Atheism won’t (no one is higher than the dictator, which led to 100 million murdered by atheistic regimes in the 20th Century).
Those other worldviews do not believe,“that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Our founders knew that rights can only come from God—not governments—but that good governments are supposed to secure those rights. That’s what Christianity teaches.
Reflecting back on the founding of our country, John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson in 1813, “The general Principles on which the Fathers achieved Independence, where the only Principles in which that beautiful Assembly of young Gentlemen could Unite. . . And what were these general Principles? I answer, the general Principles of Christianity. . . ”
So whether you are a Christian or not, you should appreciate the principles that come from Christianity, including inalienable rights, and that governments are temporary institutions that are to protect the lives and liberties of beings that are eternal and made in the image of God—you and me.

America turns 250 today.
Let me read back the resume.
We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.
By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.
We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.
We strung a railroad across the entire thing.
We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.
Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.
You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.
Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.
We split the atom.
We put men on the moon in 1969.
Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.
We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.
We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.
We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.
We flew a helicopter on Mars.
We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.
We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.
Priorities.
We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.
Baseball, basketball, and football.
Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.
The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.
And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.
Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.
If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.
We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.
You are welcome for the suspense.
And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.
Not every chapter was clean.
We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.
That is the whole trick.
Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.
Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.
Happy birthday, America.
