Iran has described its retaliation if Trump proceeds with his own threat to destroy Iran's power plants. If all this happens, western civilization will collapse, along with the U.S. dollar and up to 50% of current food production, globally. Billions would starve in that scenario. I don't think Trump cares. He's gone completely mad and it's time to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Remember one of the world's largest aquifers sits underneath Nebraska. It's draining at a rate of 3 ft a year. Industrial monoculture fully intends to suck out every last drop and turn the great plains into one giant desert. Zero chance this system exists in 2050.

A Danish scientist counted bugs on the same windshield, same road, same conditions, every year for 20 years. By year 20, 80% of the insects were gone. In Germany, a group of volunteer bug scientists did something even bigger. They set traps in 63 nature reserves, not farms, protected land, and weighed everything they caught. Same traps, same method, 27 years straight. The total weight of flying bugs dropped 76%. In midsummer, when insects should be peaking, it was 82% gone. A follow-up in 2020 and 2021 checked again. No recovery. In the UK, they literally ask drivers to count splats on their license plates after a trip. The 2024 count came back 63% lower than just 2021. Three years. A 2020 study pulled together 166 surveys from 1,676 locations around the world. Land insects are disappearing at roughly 9% every ten years. Here’s where it hits your plate. About 75% of the food crops we grow depend on insects to pollinate them, everything from apples to almonds to coffee. One 2025 study modeled what a full pollinator collapse would look like: food prices jump 30%, the global economy takes a $729 billion hit, and the world loses 8% of its Vitamin A supply. Birds are already feeling it. North America has lost 2.9 billion birds since 1970. A study from just weeks ago found half of 261 bird species on the continent are now in serious decline, and the losses are speeding up in farming regions. The birds that eat insects lost 2.9 billion. The birds that don’t eat insects? They gained 26 million. That ratio tells the whole story. One of the German researchers behind the 27-year study drives a Land Rover. He says it has the aerodynamics of a refrigerator. It stays clean now.

Did you know Goodwill made $2.1 BILLION in revenue last year? They pay executives 6-figure salaries. They pay workers sometimes less than minimum wage via a legal loophole. They get their inventory donated for free then sell it back to the public. The thrift store for “poor people” is one of the most profitable nonprofits in the country.

This rings more and more true every day. Offline is and will be the new online.

@Mishi_2210 2. 63 if it was the whole family, but it just says the couple went on the picnic.

This is supposed to be one of the hardest problems ever to solve. Is it? Or isn’t it?

Anytime Dan Bongino steps in public, this is the bare minimum he should experience.

The money was so good back then you could have 4 families

Her father, Carlos Sheinbaum Yosolevitz, whose parents were Ashkenazi Jews from Lithuania, was a member of the Mexican Communist Party. Now his daughter Claudia is the President of Mexico and is working to phase out the use of cash to implement a totalitarian surveillance state.

When Joe Wilson exposed the fake uranium intelligence, Dick Cheney's office literally leaked the identity of Wilson's wife, a covert CIA agent, to the press as revenge. They committed treason just to silence a whistleblower.

We are in the middle of a major conflict with a country who has a history of state sponsored terrorism and we are not paying our TSA security folks at the airports. This is insane.

Realizing we went from “America First” to “Americans be careful everywhere on Earth” in about 3 weeks

U.S. troops in the Iran conflict are increasingly uneasy, citing stress, safety concerns, and unclear goals. Some describe a lack of planning, with one official warning a ground operation would be “an absolute disaster.” Many troops are questioning the purpose of the war, with some saying, “We do not want to die for Israel — we don’t want to be political pawns.” Source: HuffPost

How could Californians see what’s happened to their state and say, “Let’s vote for the guy who claims Newsom hasn’t made any ‘significant missteps’”? California needs massive change, not another Newsom-like replacement.

Bizarre that dentistry isn’t a field of medicine. Dental research, what little there is, doesn’t meet medical standards. There are no incentives for dentists to focus on prevention, no coordination with doctors, no real standards for care. It’s absurd

@slausongirlnews The crazy thing is west coast/ south central black gang culture has had such a large impact on the whole US. Imagine if it had been for something more positive that would have affected the whole country!

The history of gang banging in South Central, Los Angeles has reduced Black men to a level of poverty decades later that is not being discussed enough. This directly impacts not only dating but the Black family.

Corrígeme si me equivoco, pero este año cumplo 38 y me he dado cuenta de que, como hombre, a nadie le importas. Ni a tu esposa. Ni a tu familia. Ni a tus amigos. Ni a tus compañeros de trabajo. A nadie. La gente actúa como si les importara, pero en el fondo, no es así. Estás solo. Siempre solo.

@Hombrelmparable Only your parents. Once they are gone its over.

What’s actually stopping humans from just living in one peace??
