BREAKING: Minnesota Mao — a new documentary from the team that brought you The Fall of Minneapolis. Coming June 4.

Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose. The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life. In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food. Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch. In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable. I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.

REPORTER: “Do you worry about racism if you ran for president?” STEPHEN A. SMITH: “No.” “I do not believe it is as prevalent as some on the left would like us to believe.” “I do believe a vast majority of Americans judge you on the CONTENT of your individual character rather than the COLOR of your skin.” CBS never aired this part of the interview on TV. You had to go all the way to the “extended interview,” available only online, to hear it.

NEW: Democrat men are now wearing red lipstick to protest President Trump. “Everyone put on red lipstick to show resistance against You Know Who.”

"This time the No Kings protest is going to be serious and force Trump to resign!" The No Kings protest:

i'm so high at home depot rn, and i have to ask where the hose at and i know ima laugh when i do.

I’d rather ride shotgun with Tiger Woods on a 12-hour drive than do 12 seconds at a “No Kings” protest.

"How do Asians feel about Trump?"

These people are insane.

Today, for the first time, we got 100% on the record confirmation that Rep. Ilhan Omar committed immigration fraud. Lying on your immigration forms is an immediate denaturalization. Vice President JD Vance says DHS is exploring enforcement. Ilhan needs to be deported.

This was not on my bingo card, but he is 100% correct!!

Tim Walz belongs in PRISON.!!!

Eric Trump explains just how bad Democrats weaponized the DOJ 🚨 He also says he believes Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and Democrats in charge during the Biden Admin were responsible for organizing the assassination attempt “I became the most subpoenaed person in American history, 112 subpoenas for doing nothing wrong. I've never gotten so much as a traffic ticket. 91 indictments toward my father. They came after us like we were dogs They raided Mar-a-Lago. They raided Melania's room, their room — It was the government. It was Joe Biden. It was Merrick Garland. We know that Hillary paid for the dirty dossier. We know that Barack Obama was the one that did the Russia hoax. They weaponized every bank. They weaponized every financial institution. They weaponized the DOJ. They spied on our campaign. And when none of this worked, you know what they did? They tried to shoot my father because they couldn't control us. We weren't one of them. We love this country. We love our nation. We love the constitution. We love God. We love faith. We love freedom. And our country was going to hell. So guess what? We fought relentlessly”

Not even in the top 5. 🤡
