@WallStreetMav That's right The academic delays of lockdowns an influx of children who don't speak English continuous upward failure no disciplinary tools for teachers loser parents and spineless principals are catastrophic I haven't heard a teacher say they've enjoyed their job in years😱😭

Part of our decline is due to having allowed so many people from the 3rd world to enter our country. The average IQ has dropped since 1979.

When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education. 46 years and $4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40. We are, however, #1 in cost per student.

@dbongino Joan Rivers thought so

The pearl clutching over a joke, made by a UFC heavyweight known for his post fight stand up comedy acts, is next level hypocrisy. The same people moaning and clawing at their faces over it have absolutely no problem calling President Trump and his supporters “nazis,” and “fascists,” so I’ll pass on the faux outrage. Thanks. And have a splendid day! tmz.com/2026/06/15/dan…

@Graham__Hancock My father was an enthusiastic Rosicrucian in the 90's

Ronnie Pontiac, author of The Rosicrucian Counterculture: The Origins and Influence of the Invisible Society, is the featured author on my website this month. His book explores the far-reaching influence of the Rosicrucian movement on thinkers such as Descartes, Shakespeare, Newton, Goethe, and Jung, and shows how its spirit still echoes in modern pop culture and psychedelic circles. He reframes the Rosicrucians not as an order of superhuman masters but as a genuine counterculture, a recurring eruption of suppressed knowledge that surfaces whenever a stagnant status quo demands renewal. In his article, linked below, Ronnie introduces the Rosicrucian enigma itself: the panic it sparked, the surveillance state it quietly defied, the still-unsolved riddle of who wrote the manifestos, and the radical message at its heart, that the power to remake our world begins with us. grahamhancock.com/pontiacr1/

@OwenGregorian I think our simulation resembles the opening to Star Trek Insurrection

Steven Spielberg admits he's been converted on UFOs, says he believes the believers | Lauryn Overhultz, Fox News Steven Spielberg spent decades putting aliens on the big screen. Now, the legendary filmmaker admitted years of UFO reports and eyewitness accounts have convinced him that the people claiming to have seen them deserve to be believed. While promoting his new film "Disclosure Day," Spielberg said widespread documentation, smartphone videos and testimony from military and government figures helped move the subject of UFOs from tabloid territory into the mainstream. Though he said he had never personally seen a UFO, the Oscar-winning filmmaker acknowledged he had grown more willing to trust those who claimed they had. "Well, the younger me wouldn't have been exposed to the incredible plethora of visual documentation of what's been going on," Spielberg said during an appearance on "The Daily." "Seeing is believing and until I see something myself. And why I have not seen a UFO – I don't understand why they haven't come to me yet. I mean, I feel like their agent. So I have not had any sightings whatsoever. However, having said that, so much of the believers, I now believe the believers." Spielberg said he started paying closer attention when UFO stories were no longer confined to the fringes and high-profile voices began stepping forward with their own accounts. "...I really feel that things started to get into the mainstream. And then after that, there was a lot of documentaries were being made, and I saw all of them – every doc made about this. And you can't make a doc unless people come forward. Now, there, it's not under oath, but a lot of people from Congress, from the military started coming forward." For "Disclosure Day," starring Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor, Spielberg said he wrote a story based on science fiction. "The foundation upon which I built my science fiction story is a very, very credible foundation, just based on everything that I've absorbed over many, many decades, but especially over the last decade," he explained. "And there is a consistency in the reporting." "There is circumstantial evidence from tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people who have claimed, not just in America, but all over the world, to have seen something or met people who have had seen things," Spielberg added. Spielberg's "Disclosure Day" centers on the revelation that extraterrestrial life has been secretly known about for decades, following a whistleblower and a TV meteorologist who become entangled in efforts to expose a massive government cover-up. The movie marks Spielberg's return to the UFO and alien themes that made films like "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and "E.T." cultural landmarks. foxnews.com/entertainment/…

@OwenGregorian 🧠💪💯

@Patience123 @brianlilley No They'd lose the victim angle if they pursued a direct attack Better to use proxies and build powerful long range weapons and wipe a "one bomb" state off the map

@RealDaveSwanson @brianlilley If that was true they would have started the war. Instead they were attacked by these two murderous regimes twice during negotiations.

Prime Minister Mark Carney and the leaders of Germany, France, Italy and the U.K. say they warmly welcome the peace deal with Iran. Seems their main concern here is stability in the region. Hard to understand how stability occurs with Iran's regime still in power.

@TRHLofficial @CassandraRules 🎯🎯🎯 Definitely and why is Somalia looking like a common denominator?

@CassandraRules An NGO is probably helping the third worlders

I had never even heard of the 340B program before this. How is it possible that an illegal alien from Haiti figured out how to exploit it for $58 million before most Americans even knew it existed? Denaturalize. Deport. Dismantle all programs that are allowing this kind of fraud.

@mark_slapinski This is satire right? Right?

BIG WIN Mark Carney just secured 10 MILLION for the Canadian economy from a deal with Poland He's building bridges abroad while creating jobs for Canadians

@Patience123 @brianlilley Nope They wanted a fight with the "Great and Little Satan"

@RealDaveSwanson @brianlilley I think you’re confused.

@milehijules @CarolinaLion2 Every single innovation and invention in human history was designed to free ourselves from labor Now we're here and the majority are begging for jobs instead of a share of the income the very wealthy collect! What good is the productive capacity today if no one can afford it?

@CarolinaLion2 The real unemployment number is close to 25%. This is January, I'm sure it's worse by now.

I keep watching a bunch of people blindly repeating "nothing ever happens" and "trust the plan" as a hand grenade slowly rolls into their lap.

@writtenoff_mufc It's about balance The sooner children learn about it the better

Question for parents on here, if you are against the social media ban for kids, can you explain why?

@DavidWolfe 👀👀👀

How do we REALLY KNOW there are over 8 BILLION people in this world 🤔? We're only going by the numbers they're giving us

@WallStreetMav How long does it take?

What is the appropriate allowance for an 11 year old boy each week to take out the trash and recycling? I was thinking $20 per week to handle that chore whenever we need it done.

No one asked to be born Whilst I do agree people should be productive especially from 15-35 The idea that legions of laborers of 100 years ago is still a thing is just not realistic Mining and agriculture and manufacturing have dramatically increased yields with a fraction of human labor input

@RealDaveSwanson @BamaSaltyMarine If they need others to feed them at all it is a them problem. Food benefits should be survival rations not cash equivalents. Frankly the government shouldn't be feeding them at all. let them go to a food pantry or charity if they need assistance.

If MREs are good enough for our troops, why not for welfare? What if EBT was replaced with monthly MRE deliveries, 8 cases per person. No misuse. No luxury. Just food. Needs met. Problem solved!

@brianeskow That's what great Kings always did And that was before Robots and AI

Does a just society require some degree of wealth redistribution?

@thevivafrei The left is complaining about porn after drag queen story time and sexualizing math in grade school??? Really?

Comparing social media to drugs is a fundamentally flawed strawman. And it is one heck of a Pandora’s box to open - the argument that “it’s like a drug”, so the government can govern me harder. Social media, as an entity, is no more “damaging” than a bad diet. By your logic, you would also need to support government-mandated food consumption, or restrictions like banning Dunkin’ Donuts, - because some kids over consume sugar to the point of “damaging” their bodies. Social media is also fundamentally different from porn. Porn is an act (that itself is governed by age). Social media is a mechanism of expression and sharing information. So respectfully, no @KatMcKinley. The government does not get to micromanage my children’s access to technology based on what they think is good for my kid.

@therealmrbench That's right

Fans at UFC 250 acted with class. They proudly sang O Canada for Aiemann Zahabi. Meanwhile, the “Elbows Up” crowd at the FIFA World Cup game in Toronto booed the U.S. anthem. One side acted petty. The other showed respect. That says a lot. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

@KariLake WOW!

Can we make this into a US postage stamp? If we do, I promise I’ll start sending out letters.

@rationalposts That's how money has always been created Banks don't lend out our savings Banks have our savings accounts as liabilities and our loans as their assets

Elon Musk wouldn't be a trillionaire if government stopped printing money out of thin air. You'd know this but government school seized your education and replaced it with government schools.
