Almost half of the arable farmland and fresh water in Yemen is dedicated to khat growing

Computer tech stumbles across a predator's motherload illicit content immediately calls police where they set up a sting to catch the predator. ​In Stevens Point, Wisconsin (Portage County), Gary Johnson brought his laptop into Cody Electronics Repair to resolve a broken Wi-Fi connection caused by an operating system update. When the repair technician realized the system required a complete reinstallation of Windows, he called Johnson to ask if any files needed backing up before wiping the drive. Johnson’s exact instruction: "As long as you can back up the pictures, that’s all I care about." ​Following standard repair procedures to secure the client’s data, the technician opened the main pictures directory. Set to extra-large thumbnail view, the folder immediately displayed over 7,300 files containing deeply disturbing, illicit images of underage girls—some as young as toddler age. Recognizing the severity of the material, the technician quietly closed the folder, told Johnson the laptop would be ready for pickup the next morning, and contacted the police department. ​When Johnson returned to the shop the following day expecting a fixed computer, Stevens Point detectives were waiting outside. ​During questioning, Johnson attempted to excuse the massive collection as an innocent "hobby," claiming he started saving images off the internet after his personal camera was stolen years ago. He then offered an absurd cover story, stating he was assembling a collection of "the most beautiful girls in the world" to submit to Getty Publishing. When detectives confronted him about the explicitly illegal content, he repeatedly offered to simply take the laptop home and "eliminate" the files himself, completely failing to understand that possession alone is a severe felony. ​Johnson was taken into custody on the scene and transported to Portage County Jail, with a stop made at his apartment to retrieve necessary daily medication. Forensic analysts at the regional crime lab subsequently cataloged hundreds of flagged illicit files alongside extensive search histories, forwarding the findings to the District Attorney's Office for formal prosecution. His case is on going in the as it is being set up for trial. Once more info is available we will revisit.

ALL EYES ON SPAIN!!! 🚨🚨SPANISH FAMINE The brutal Spanish occupation forces are fencing off humanitarian aid - the invaders have no food. 14,000 are expected to die in the next 48 hours.

The idiot who runs our country says this but doesn’t have the courage or evidence to come after me. This should tell you how low IQ he is. Trump is who needs to get the hell out of our country because he is destroying it and making us the laughing stock of the world.

I am deeply appalled and angry to see “Firework” used on the @WhiteHouse TikTok account as a backing track for video footage of military strikes. I did not approve this, I was not asked, and I absolutely do not condone it. I wrote this song to be an anthem of hope, healing, and inner strength for people going through their darkest personal moments. To see a message of self-worth and upliftment weaponized to soundtrack destruction and violence is a complete violation of everything my song stands for. My music is for bringing people together, not celebrating warfare.

Absolutely horrifying

How many people has Elon Musk personally murdered via his work helping defund USAID? I've run the numbers. USAID, as people outside of CNN's viewership already know, operates largely as a CIA cutout, placing assets on the ground in countries where the U.S. govt is intervening politically. USAID was instrumental is helping seed the following revolutions/coup d'états/civil wars: Serbia — Bulldozer Revolution (Oct. 2000) Venezuela — coup attempt + sustained OTI funding (April 2002) Georgia — Rose Revolution (Nov. 2003) Ukraine — Orange Revolution (2004) Haiti — Ouster of Aristide (Feb. 2004) Lebanon — Cedar Revolution (2005) Belarus — opposition funding, "Jeans Revolution" and after — attempted, failed (2006) Honduras — Coup against Zelaya (Jun. 2009) Cuba — ZunZuneo / "Cuban Twitter" — attempted, failed (2010–12) Tunisia — "Arab Spring" (2011) Egypt — "Arab Spring" (2011–12) Ukraine — Euromaidan / Revolution of Dignity (2014) Bolivia — anti-Morales funding; 2013 expulsion; 2019 ouster Kyrgyzstan — Tulip Revolution (March 2005) Without U.S. intervention, it's hard to see how any of these would have gotten off the ground. Some back-of-the-envelope math on these conflicts' bodycount: Venezuela (2002): 19 Haiti (2004): ~300 Maidan event (2014): ~100+ killed. Bolivia (2019): 36 Donbas war (2014–2022): 14,200–14,400 military & civilian deaths. Ukraine full-scale war (2022–present), deaths, both sides, mil + civ: roughly 350,000–500,000 killed. So far we're up to somewhere north of 365,000 deaths, more likely north of 500K. What else do we have? USAID also helped fund poppy (heroin) farmers in Afghanistan. Unfortunately I haven't seen estimates of how many have died as a result of this taxpayer funded drug dealing, but I'm assuming they're not small numbers. USAID also worked with groups sexually abusing/trafficking children in Kenya (2021), and the Central African Republic (2013). Much earlier, during Vietnam, USAID helped the CIA arm & feed Hmong guerrillas fighting communist forces (not the worst thing). USAID also helped the Hmong militia & other warlords smuggle opium (a far less forgivable thing). While the final tally is hard to properly calculate, if past is predicate, in helping shutdown USAID, @elonmusk could be saving hundreds of thousands of lives, thousands of African children, & millions of people around the world susceptible to opiate addiction. Get this man a Peace Prize, @NobelPrize

Who’s gonna tell him?

Thank you Senator for highlighting the REPUBLICAN woman who registered her dog to vote and GOT CAUGHT BECAUSE of an ID requirement.
