Really? Here's what Dina Titus was saying not too long ago... "JD Vance...You better hide behind that sofa 'cause we're coming for ya...We are coming for you, J.D.! We're coming for J.D. Vance! We're coming for the MAGA folks! Donald Trump, we're coming for you!" "We're coming for ya. And what a day it's gonna be!"

As more details come out about tonight’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, my concerns are for the safety of the attendees.

@mbrown_co I "bribed" my 5-year-old granddaughter (now 19) $5,000 if she turns 30 without ANY tattoos. An ex-boyfriend wanted their initials tattooed on her wrist...she said no. If she wants one after 30, it's her body. I'm just giving her time to grow up before doing anything permanent

My mother-in-law bribed my son to get good grades. She promised him, without asking me, $1000 for every A he brings home on his report card at the end of the semester. I was mortified. This went against every parenting instinct I had. Everyone knows you cannot pay a kid to learn. You will ruin his relationship with school! You will teach him that effort is transactional! I almost called her out and told her to walk it back. I decided not to say anything. And I'm glad I didn't, because I would have been wrong. My son is thirteen and severely dyslexic. School has always been harder for him than it is for the kids around him, and he knows it. He watches other kids read things once and get it. He watches them finish assignments in half the time it takes him. Intrinsic motivation for a kid who struggles and knows he should not be struggling is literally impossible. School is a daily reminder that he is different. You can't fall in love with the process of learning when the process humiliates you. I have witnessed his struggle with confidence firsthand. The people who tell dyslexic kids to find their passion for learning have never watched a dyslexic kid try to fit themselves into the narrow box of our education system. But when she made the offer, I saw the gears start turning. $1000 is an absurd amount of money for a kid his age. He's been spending the money in his head ever since. And then I watched him do something I have never been able to get him to do, despite trying everything in my power. He started trying. He started turning in his assignments on time. He did the damn work. Then one day, he burst through the door after school, his hands doing the little flappy thing that he does when he's excited. "Dad! I got two As!" I burst into tears on the spot. In all of his years, he's never gotten an A on a report card. His grandmother's ridiculous bribe did more for him than years of every parenting strategy I've tried. She bribed him into discovering that he was capable. He learned, on his own, that he can actually do the work. And the reason he learned is that the incentive structure was strong enough for him to actually decide to push himself. This is where the intrinsic motivation thing breaks down. Every single adult who clutches their pearls when it comes to bribing their kids gets up every morning and goes to a job they would not do for free. I love my chosen vocation. Writing, speaking, and coaching are expressions of my highest values and align deeply with my sense of purpose. And I would not work all day, every day doing this work unless I was getting paid handsomely for it, and anyone who claims otherwise about their own work is lying to themselves. When you say, "I'd do it for free," what you mean is that you'd do the fun parts of the job when you felt like it. Nobody would do the real version of their job for free. My son is more honest about his motivations than most of the adults who will read this. He was offered a clean deal. Do the work, get the money. He took the deal. In doing so, he found something worth more than the money: the feeling of having done something he didn't believe he could do. I'll chalk that up as a win.

We are witnessing the quiet collapse of the American education system in real-time, and almost nobody is talking about the endgame. 📉 ​I just went down a rabbit hole of "teacher crash out" videos, and it’s haunting. We aren’t just losing "staff"—we are losing the heart of our communities. From being blamed for every student outburst to managing 30+ tiny humans with zero administrative support, the math simply doesn't add up anymore. ​During 2020, they were called heroes. In 2026, they are being treated like replaceable cogs in a broken machine. ​The scary part? When the last certified teacher walks out that door, what happens to your kids? We are heading toward a "zombie apocalypse" in the classroom where nobody is left to lead. ​This isn't just a "workplace issue." This is a national emergency. ​If you’re a teacher: What was your breaking point? If you’re a parent: Are you seeing the shift?

🚨 Here is the full 40 minutes of my crew and I exposing California fraud, Minnesota was big but California is even bigger... We uncovered over $170,000,000 in fraud as these fraudsters live in luxury with no consequences. Like it and share it, the fraud must STOP. We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening. These fraudsters have been able to defraud American taxpayers for years without any pushback from the public and politicians. It is time to EXPOSE IT ALL and end America's fraud crisis.

@notsorrycat @aakashgupta A few years ago I won a $25 Crumbl gift card. I carried it in my wallet for several months, eventually giving it to a man who stopped & helped when I had a flat tire (he refused any money). After reading this, I wish I would have thrown it in the trash instead of passing it on

The ingredient that crosses the blood-brain barrier is polysorbate 80. And the reason it's in a cookie tells you everything about how industrial food manufacturing actually works. Polysorbate 80 is an emulsifier. Pharmaceutical companies use it as a drug delivery vehicle specifically because it permeates the BBB. Researchers at Tianjin Medical University published a study in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity (2024) showing dietary polysorbate 80 disrupted the blood-brain barrier in mice, accelerated cognitive decline, and triggered neuroinflammation. The mechanism: P80 altered gut bacteria, which changed bile acid metabolism, which sent deoxycholic acid into brain tissue, which activated immune cells that damaged neural architecture. Gut to brain. From an emulsifier in frosting. Crumbl uses it in their heavy cream blend to keep the texture smooth and the shelf life stable. The same compound that neuroscience labs use to smuggle chemotherapy drugs past the brain's security system is doing double duty as a frosting stabilizer. The sugar math is almost secondary at this point. A single Crumbl pink sugar cookie contains 76 grams of added sugar. The American Heart Association daily limit is 36 grams for men, 25 for women. One cookie is two to three days of sugar in about four minutes of eating. Crumbl listed the calories per quarter cookie on their menu boards, 180 calories with an asterisk. The full cookie is 760. More than a Big Mac. Crumbl did $1.2 billion in systemwide sales last year across 1,059 stores. TSG Consumer Partners just bought a stake. Blackstone loaned them $500 million. The fastest-growing cookie chain in America is a private equity play built on a product that a Harvard-trained psychiatrist called "a recipe for metabolic disaster." The 69 ingredients are doing exactly what they were engineered to do: make you eat another one.
Wall Street Apes@WallStreetApes

This is so insane “Crumbl Cookies is now selling a cookie with the amount of sugar you would get, not in 1, not in 5, BUT 11 of these Krispy Kreme donuts” This one cookie has 69 ingredients including one that crosses the blood brain barrier How is this legal??

@Pajegetc @xevekiah Chores like laundry are necessary for a comfortable home, not an attempt to conquer & enslave. A lot of the wives/girlfriends who follow the advice of the MIL will find themselves single while another woman takes her place & happily provides what she refused to

Two weeks after our wedding, my mother in law finally came to visit since she had missed the ceremony due to a flight issue. It was my first time meeting her, but we instantly got along. One day, while we were in her room, my husband walked in looking irritated and asked where the laundry I had done was. He was specifically looking for a shirt I had washed. I excused myself to find it for him, but when I came back, my mother in law questioned me. “Why do you let him talk to you like that?” she asked, clearly surprised. “You already did his laundry, and he still can’t find his own clothes? What does he think you are, his maid?” She pulled me closer and added, “Listen, don’t let him treat you like a house girl. Since I got married, I’ve never done your father in law’s laundry, he actually does mine. That’s how I raised him to be. If he can’t even appreciate your effort enough to look for his own clothes, then let him wash and fold them himself.” That was the last time I ever did his laundry in that house and now he’s the one doing mine. Good mothers in law really do exist.

@DailyMail *Trump's rescue of US airmen trapped in Iran was a success with no American casualties* Daily Mail: "It may be a success, but it could have possibly failed and cost American lives!" You don't hate the media nearly enough.

@Mr_Husky1 Run from anyone issuing ultimatums! They are destructive threats that damage trust, create power imbalances replace mutual respect with control. While they may force a temporary, forced commitment, they rarely lead to long-term satisfaction or a healthy, thriving marriage

No, the President cannot commute Tina Peters' prison sentence. It stems from her 2024 conviction in Colorado state court on state charges (tampering with voting equipment in Mesa County). Presidential commutation power applies only to federal offenses—not state ones. That's a matter for Colorado's governor.

Without the SAVE Act, we will… Lose the House in November. Democrats will nuke the filibuster. The Senate will be lost within four years. More Ketanji Browns will be confirmed to the Supreme Court. Democrats will then cheat a Democrat into the White House. The border will be opened like a wound. We will be flooded with illegal aliens. The cheating at the polls will then be irreversible. Democrats will be a supermajority for decades to come. Every city and town will look end up looking like every blue city shithole looks now. America will become a socialist sewer. OR… The Senate can dump big corp parasite John Thune, and pass the damn SAVE Act.
