Kherson. A russian human safari — POV. russians keep openly posting their war crimes without even trying to hide them. They openly state that any car, bus, or ambulance is a “legitimate target.” This isn’t war. It’s hunting of civilians. And the world keeps allowing it.

Teacher makes a 6 year old a certificate saying he is ‘Most likely to become a dictator’ because of his conservative values. I have been warning against for decades. The future of western civilisation is in the hands of our teachers. 😳

A russian double tap in Kherson. First, a drone hunted a civilian car with workers inside — a 60-year-old man was killed on the spot. Then they struck again, deliberately targeting the ambulance that rushed to save lives. They waited for rescuers — and hit them too. This is not war. This is a hunt.

Malian rebels reportedly using more sophisticated drones in attacks on government and PMC forces.

King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable. A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline. That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong. For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world. Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests. It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature. The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses. Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.

This is Odesa kindergarten after russian attack. This happens throughout the country every day,

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

She is going to come down from her high horse really hard one day! The sooner the better. Quite extraordinary!

Please don’t look away. This heartbreaking video was shared by locals surviving in Oleshky, where a real genocide is unfolding. The world should be screaming about this — not hiding in silence.

SHE REPORTED 1,400 CHILDREN BEING RAPED. THEY INVESTIGATED HER. Jayne Senior @Jes123tia456 spent 14 years as manager of Risky Business, a Rotherham Council project for vulnerable young women. For 14 years she handed evidence of systematic child sexual exploitation to police and social services. Names. Dates. Patterns. A 42-page intelligence report. She built the jigsaw piece by piece. They shut down her programme. They told her the records were rubbish. They told her she was rocking the multicultural boat. They told her the children were consenting. Children. Ten years old. She risked prosecution to become the source for Times journalist Andrew Norfolk, whose 2012 investigations finally broke the story open to the nation. The Jay Report in 2014 confirmed what she had been screaming into the void since the late 1990s: at least 1,400 children had been abused in Rotherham. Jayne got an MBE in 2016. The council got reputational damage it spent years managing. The officers got their pensions. When she filed complaints with the IOPC about senior police officers who had done nothing, the watchdog warned her that if she kept going, she would be labelled a vexatious complainant and could face imprisonment. She kept going. Her complaint was eventually upheld in 2021. The report naming the officers was never published. South Yorkshire Police @SYPTweet rejected the watchdog's findings. No officers were named. No further action was taken. Someone did warn her the officers might sue her personally if she spoke about it publicly. She spoke about it publicly. This is what accountability looks like in Britain. A youth worker risks prison to protect children. The institutions that failed those children close ranks, bury the reports, and threaten the one person who kept records. The children were the problem, apparently. Not the men. Not the police. Not the council. The woman with the filing cabinet. Source: The Times @thetimes, @BBC, @guardian , @yorkshirepost, Jay Report 2014, IOPC Operation Amazon 2022

Scholars across the spectrum, even skeptical and critical ones widely accept these 12 minimal historical facts about Jesus’ death and resurrection. 1. Jesus died by Roman crucifixion. 2. He was buried, most likely in a private tomb. 3. The disciples were discouraged, bereaved, and despondent afterward. 4. The tomb was discovered empty very soon after. 5. The disciples reported experiences they believed were actual appearances of the risen Jesus. 6. The teaching and proclamation of the resurrection began very early. 7. These experiences completely transformed the disciples’ lives, they were even willing to die for their belief. 8. Their reports, preaching, and teaching took place in Jerusalem, right where Jesus was crucified and buried. 9. The gospel message centered on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 10. Christian community gatherings began early, with the first day of the week as a regular time for worship. 11. James, Jesus’ brother, a former skeptic/unbeliever, became a follower after he believed he saw the risen Jesus. 12. A few years later, Saul of Tarsus (Paul) also converted after an experience he concluded was an appearance of the risen Jesus. List is from; Gary R. Habermas, On the Resurrection: Evidences, vol. 1 of On the Resurrection (Brentwood, TN: B&H Academic, 2024), 146–147.

As a physician forced to count fetal parts in medical school, as I would not betray my love for God and participate in an abortion, I agree. I was sobbing counting little hands and little feet while the residents and attending physicians laughed at me for being human and grieving the death of a baby.

Videos like these let you hear the sound of nighttime in Ukrainian cities. This is Odesa tonight. Hundreds of Ukrainians live in every building you see some are hiding, trying to keep their children safe, while others just watch from their windows. Yes, staying near a window is reckless; you never know where the next Shahed drone is heading in the night sky. Currently, it is impossible to shoot down every russian drone, and many still reach the city and people's homes. Every explosion makes it clear: people have suffered once again. But only the morning will reveal the 'black marks' left behind and the true scale of the damage.

To everyone clutching pearls over an “environmental disaster” in Tuapse: This is what russian “liberation” actually looks like. Ukraine will keep hitting every target it needs. The fastest way to peace is simple: russia — go fuck yourself and get out of Ukraine.

Silence doesn't mean inactivity. Often, it means the forces there are kicking ass. As is the case in Kharkiv, where Khartiia has been quietly holding back Russian assaults. Russia's tactic is to slowly grind down units over time until they eventually break through. We don't want that to happen. We don't want to surrender initiative to the Russians and resort to firefighting measures where we jump around from one crisis to another. We are providing the resources NOW, to stop the crisis before it happens. And to keep stuffing Russians into boxes. Please donate: paypal.com/donate?campaig…

This might be the most beautiful thing I watched today. ❤️

"I already fear almost nothing." He is 12. He just stopped a russian drone with his hands. He is 12 years old. He is the oldest of five children. And on April 18, he stopped a Russian FPV drone from reaching his brothers and sisters. Anatoly Prokhorenko from Semenivka — a border town in Chernihiv Oblast — was outside when he saw a Russian drone turning toward the area where his younger siblings were playing. He had been taught what to do. A soldier friend showed him once, cutting fibre-optic cable from a downed tree in a forest. "In a rare case — tear it," the soldier had told him. The case arrived. "I just crouched down, looked — it went upward. I said: 'Right, 15 seconds, and I pull.' My nephew runs out and shouts: 'Pull!' I pull — and I see it accelerating upward because it's losing control and starting to fall. We prepared for it to explode. But the drone fell about 100–150 metres away in the bushes." It was the first time he'd ever done it. He was scared. "The fear for my own people overcame everything." What this story actually tells us about this war: Semenivka sits on Ukraine's northern border with Russia. Russian drones fly over it regularly. This is not an exceptional event for the people who live there — it is Tuesday. Anatoly has adapted to a reality that most of the world still struggles to comprehend: a 12-year-old in a border town has learned drone recognition, knows what fibre-optic cable looks like, understands the difference between a controlled drone and one that's lost its signal — and acts on that knowledge under pressure. A drone warfare training expert from the Kruk UAV operator centre offered a sobering note: Anatoly was fortunate there was no second drone overhead. Typically, an FPV is guided by a reconnaissance drone flying at 300 metres. If that drone sees a child disabling the FPV — the child becomes the next priority target. This is the environment Ukrainian children are growing up in. How civilians adapt — and what it costs: Anatoly's family has since relocated to Chernihiv city. His father, Volodymyr, is applying for internally displaced person status. His verdict on his son: "He scared everyone — his mother, his father. But he held psychologically. He's growing into a man." Anatoly is in 7th grade. His hobby is mechanics — he helps his father repair their car and tractor. He wants to know how drones work from the inside. He wants to become a soldier. "I already fear almost nothing. The fear of Shaheds is still there. But living in Semenivka, when they flew overhead constantly — it stops being scary." A 12-year-old should not know what fibre-optic cable feels like under his hands when he tears it to save his siblings. He should not have to calculate 15 seconds while a Russian weapon turns toward his brothers and sisters. He should not be describing his fear of Shaheds as something he has learned to manage. This is what Russia's war does to Ukrainian childhoods. And this is what Ukrainian resilience looks like when it reaches all the way down to a boy in a border town who decided — in the moment — that fear of what might happen to him mattered less than what was happening to them. "I already fear almost nothing." He is 12. — Source: Suspilne Chernihiv, April 28, 2026 #Ukraine #Chernihiv #RussiaWarCrimes #UkraineChildren #StandWithUkraine #UkraineWillWin #SlavaUkraini #FPV #CivilianResilience #UkraineWar

Outstanding.
