“I see nothing “wrong” in believing in a God. I don’t think there is a God, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights when it worries me.”

📰A new Finnish study reports that youth gender transitions (under age 23) did not improve mental health symptoms. For some youth, medical gender reassignment may have had a negative impact. Link ⬇️ /1


USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins says dissent during COVID wasn’t just discouraged, it was punished. “Back a couple years ago, if you had the courage… to question if COVID came from a lab leak in Wuhan, you were censored.” “You were shunned, and the left called you crazy.” “And if you dared to push back against the unconstitutional, invasive government mandates, you were met with the punishing power of the state.”



Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

It's been 6 years since the world locked down. Not a single mainstream streaming platform has delved into the repercussions of this unprecedented global action. The documentary feature film Generation-Covid does. Available soon.


Sam Harris sits quietly as Bill Maher calls out the NYT for pushing readers toward an opinion on the “Iran War.” “The second day of the war… The New York Times’ headline was ‘US troops die.’ That was what they led with.” “But then, in a country where I’ve read 80 to 90% of the people are thrilled that the Ayatollah is gone, what picture did they put? Picture of people mourning the Ayatollah…” “I can’t believe that somebody at the desk didn’t get, ‘I’ve got a great picture of people dancing in the streets.’ Yeah, we’re gonna go with the 10% who are sorry the Ayatollah is dead because that’s gonna funnel the thought of our readers toward, ‘Oh, this is a bad war to get into.’” “That, to me, is the difference in what the media does now and what they didn’t used to do. You’re funneling me toward an opinion, whereas I would love it if you just told me what happened.” After a couple of low-energy “yeahs,” Harris conceded: “The boundary between activism and journalism has clearly broken down.”
