Read this - every single word. It's excellent. This is the accurate view of history.
Cynical Publius@CynicalPublius

I get tired of Democrats claiming to be on the “right side of history” when both their past and their present are so utterly sordid and destructive. So, if you are a Democrat, let me tell you about MY side of history and YOUR side of history. My side of history is Cato the Elder, John Locke, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Irving Babbitt and William F. Buckley.  Your side of history is Thomas Hobbes, Karl Marx, Josef Stalin, Mao’s Little Red Book and Noam Chomsky. My side of history is George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan and Donald Trump.  Your side of history is Tories who fled to Canada, Jefferson Davis, Woodrow Wilson, Bull Connor, George Wallace and Nancy Pelosi. My side of history is freedom of thought, freedom of speech, freedom of religion and spirited debate.  Your side of history is ThoughtCrime, Speech Codes, religious persecution and Cancel Culture. My side of history is Brown v. Board of Ed., Loving v. VA, Gitlow v. NY, and Heller v. DC.  Your side of history is Dred Scott, Korematsu and Roe v. Wade. My side of history is Jackie Robinson.  Your side of history is Colin Kaepernick. My side of history is head held high, standing straight, hand over heart.  Your side of history is sullen glances at the ground, kneeling. My side of history is the family as the foundation of society. Your side of history is mutilating confused children. My side of history is the rockets’ red glare.  Your side of history is imagine no religion. My side of history is firefighters going up the stairs into the Twin Towers.  Your side of history is 28-year-old men playing Call of Duty in their mothers’ basements. My side of history is smoked brisket.  Your side of history is a no-foam, no-sugar, soy latte. My side of history is Lincoln freeing the slaves and General Patton liberating Buchenwald.  Your side of history is Fort Sumter, the Gulag and Pol Pot’s killing fields. My side of history is Mel Brooks.  Your side of history is Amy Schumer. My side of history is all men and women are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights.  Your side of history is critical theory and only some lives matter. My side of history is 20-year-olds storming Omaha Beach. Your side of history is 20-year-olds in their safe spaces with adult coloring books. My side of history is American men and women disabled by an IED.  Your side of history is American men and women disabled by anxiety. My side of history is the Kentucky Rifle, the Springfield 1861, the M1911, the M1 Garand, the M14 and the AR15.  Your side of history is whimpering submission. My side of history is Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers, Apollo 11 and Jonas Salk.  Your side of history is “global warming,” 100+ genders and porous cloth masks stopping viruses. My side is of history is laughing babies.  Your side of history is selling aborted baby parts on the open market. My side of history is the Sistine Chapel and Monet’s water lilies.  Your side of history is an inverted crucifix in a bottle of urine. My side of history is construction.  Your side of history is deconstruction. My side of history is civilization.  Your side of history is nihilism. And, MOST OF ALL: My side of history is liberty.  Your side of history is tyranny. *finis*

@ihtesham2005 @tracybelliston Fascinating. I've taken notes for years - virtually all of my adult life, especially at sales training and for sermons. I always felt I retained more information that way.

A Norwegian neuroscientist spent 20 years proving that the act of writing by hand changes the human brain in ways typing physically cannot, and almost nobody outside her field has read the paper. Her name is Audrey van der Meer. She runs a brain research lab in Trondheim, and the paper that closed the argument was published in 2024 in a journal called Frontiers in Psychology. The finding is brutal enough that it should have changed every classroom on Earth. The experiment was simple. She recruited 36 university students and put each one in a cap with 256 sensors pressed against their scalp to record brain activity. Words flashed on a screen one at a time. Sometimes the students wrote the word by hand on a touchscreen using a digital pen, and sometimes they typed the same word on a keyboard. Every neural response was recorded for the full five seconds the word stayed on screen. Then her team looked at the part of the data most researchers had ignored for years, which is how different parts of the brain were communicating with each other during the task. When the students wrote by hand, the brain lit up everywhere at once. The regions responsible for memory, sensory integration, and the encoding of new information were all firing together in a coordinated pattern that spread across the entire cortex. The whole network was awake and connected. When the same students typed the same word, that pattern collapsed almost completely. Most of the brain went quiet, and the connections between regions that had been alive seconds earlier were nowhere to be found on the EEG. Same word, same brain, same person, and two completely different neurological events. The reason turned out to be something nobody had really paid attention to before her work. Writing by hand is not one motion but a sequence of thousands of tiny micro-movements coordinated with your eyes in real time, where each letter is a different shape that requires the brain to solve a slightly different spatial problem. Your fingers, wrist, vision, and the parts of your brain that track position in space are all working together to produce one letter, then the next, then the next. Typing throws all of that away. Every key on a keyboard requires the exact same finger motion regardless of which letter you are pressing, which means the brain has almost nothing to integrate and almost no problem to solve. Van der Meer said it plainly in her interviews. Pressing the same key with the same finger over and over does not stimulate the brain in any meaningful way, and she pointed out something that should scare every parent who handed their kid an iPad. Children who learn to read and write on tablets often cannot tell letters like b and d apart, because they have never physically felt with their bodies what it takes to actually produce those letters on a page. A decade before her, two researchers at Princeton ran the same fight using a completely different method and ended up at the same answer. Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer tested 327 students across three experiments, where half took notes on laptops with the internet disabled and half took notes by hand, before testing everyone on what they actually understood from the lectures they had watched. The handwriting group won by a wide margin on every question that required real understanding rather than surface recall. The reason was hiding in the transcripts of what the two groups had actually written down. The laptop students typed almost word for word, capturing more total content but processing almost none of it as they went, while the handwriting students physically could not write fast enough to transcribe a lecture in real time, which forced them to listen carefully, decide what actually mattered, and put it in their own words on the page. That single act of choosing what to keep was the learning itself, and the keyboard had quietly skipped the choosing and skipped the learning along with it. Two studies. Two countries. Same answer. Handwriting makes the brain work. Typing lets it coast. Every note you have ever typed instead of written went into your brain through a thinner pipe. Every meeting, every book highlight, every idea you captured on your phone instead of on paper was processed at half depth. You did not forget those things because your memory is bad. You forgot them because typing never woke the part of the brain that would have made them stick. The fix is the thing your grandmother already knew. Pick up a pen. Write the thing down. The slower road is the faster one.

Chicago woman mocks Democrats by speaking in a squeaky, high-pitched voice, who say black people's voting rights are in danger. The woman also called out the commissioners one by one to their faces. "I'm 63 years old. I've been voting since I was 18. I have never had a problem voting..." "So now you're all gonna drag black people in here, definitely some senior citizens, and gonna have them come up here and talk about how they're scared to vote... all that junk, when you know it's not true."

🚨 JUST NOW: Elon Musk drops the bombshell that the FBI implanted 26 people INTO JAN. 6TH to "spy" for them And the government LIED to us that this never happened. "4 entered the Capitol during the riot. An additional 13 entered the restricted area around the Capitol. So more than a dozen FBI spies participated in the so-called insurrection!" "A bunch of them broke into the Capitol. Their own inspector general says this is what happened. But that's not what they told you when they testified under oath." None of them bore any consequences. Intel said they knew it was going to get possibly violent, but did nothing to prevent it. And all of it was hidden. One of the BIGGEST SCAMS in DECADES

🚨 BREAKING: A principal in Pennsylvania just drew a line and didn’t blink. Students tried to stage an anti ICE walkout during school hours. Daniel Weber walked straight outside and shut it down. His message was simple. You want to protest on school time? You’re suspended. That’s called leadership. Schools are for learning. Not activist field trips. Not political theater. Parents send their kids to get an education, not to join street rallies in the middle of the day. More backbone like this. Less chaos. More adults in the room. 🇺🇸 FOLLOW ME, THE NEXT DROP WILL BE SHOCKING

🚨 NC SYSTEM FAILED 5 BOYS AGAIN – HORRIFIC ABUSE BY GAY ACTIVIST COUPLE! Two men who adopted five innocent boys and used them as LGBTQ props are now charged with sexually abusing them and making child porn. A 6-year-old and 15-year-old were among the victims. Earlier warnings were ignored while stable straight couples wait years. Kids are not activism toys! North Carolina must put children first and stop this dangerous ideology.

🚨PRAY FOR TREY ISLES — SHOT 15 TIMES AT POINT BLANK RANGE! Trey Isles is fighting for his life in a Kentucky hospital after being gunned down execution-style — 15 shots at point-blank range — in Newport, KY. He was simply walking to the store with his girlfriend when three suspects pulled up, stood over him, and unloaded. He’s still alive by the grace of God… but he has a long, painful road ahead. And the national media? Crickets. Zero outrage. Zero wall-to-wall coverage. Zero hashtags. Zero marches in the street. The suspects — Kortney Alford, Tiance Combs, and Terry Moses — are still on the loose. Pray for Trey. Pray for his family. Pray for justice.

It takes an astonishing level of political conditioning to keep repeating the claim that Black Americans are “losing the right to vote” in 2026 while Black Black Americans are: Voting. Winning elections. Holding office. Serving as judges. Running police departments. Owning businesses. Controlling major city governments. Dominating entertainment, sports, academia, and media influence. The language being used today deliberately tries to emotionally compare modern election law debates to the actual horrors of Democrat led Jim Crow segregation. 🚨Yeah that’s right.. it was Democrat LED! 🚨 That comparison is intellectually dishonest. Jim Crow meant: State enforced segregation. Literacy tests. Poll taxes. Physical intimidation. Open racial exclusion under law. Wanting voter ID, updated voter rolls, citizenship verification, signature matching, or constitutional district debates is not remotely equivalent to that era. Americans are tired of being emotionally manipulated every election cycle with the same recycled fear rhetoric. And here is the deeper irony: Many of the loudest voices claiming to “protect Black America” have presided over cities suffering from catastrophic violence, educational collapse, narcotics epidemics, fatherlessness, business flight, poverty, and generational dependency for decades. People are finally comparing rhetoric to outcomes. That is why these panic narratives are becoming less effective. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Deputy AG Todd Blanche just CALLED OUT Fake News ABC George Stephanopoulos to his FACE for running cover for Don Lemon storming a church "CONVENIENTLY missing from what you just showed, George, is the appellate court and a judge on the appellate court who said just a few days later there was clearly PROBABLE CAUSE — and it wasn't even a close question!" "A grand jury, which is what our system has set up to determine whether probable cause exists, concluded that there was probable cause!" "That indictment is now public. Everybody in this country can pull it up and read for themselves and see what the grand jury found that Mr. Lemon did." "We talk about the First Amendment right. You have a right of freedom of religion, which is just as important as any other right that we have!" "And George, I don't know if you've watched the videos or read the indictment about what it's alleged that Mr. Lemon did, but if anybody in this country thinks that that is quote, independent journalism, I would like to have a conversation with you." 🫳🏻🎤

President Trump just posted the ULTIMATE hypocrisy meme exposing Barack Obama and the Democrats 😂 When the South wants fair elections and voter ID? “JIM CROW 2.0!!” When deep-blue New England runs their one-party strongholds? “This is DEMOCRACY!!” The left doesn’t care about “democracy” they care about POWER. And they’re furious when common sense election integrity gets in the way.

I have read some truly evil things in my life... Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, comes close to what I read in the search warrant for Joshua Gilliam and Ronald Lynch. These two married men have 5 BOYS, in North Carolina. They have been arrested for r*pe, child p*rnography, and grooming. The victims are a 5-year-old and a 15 year-old... but police say many many more charges are coming. ...but it gets worse. Last year... in May of 2025, the NC State Bureau of Investigation sent Harnett County a cybertip about Ronald Wayne Lynch, possible child se*ual abuse material. NO CHARGES WERE FILED. In MAY 2026... 1 FULL YEAR LATER ...a second cybertip arrived. This time naming his husband, Joshua Lee Gilliam, in the r*pe of a five-year-old and the grooming of a fifteen-year-old. THEN charges were filed. For both men. Please read that again... a year went by. A year in which children remained in that household. What happened to those children in that year? The details of this case are so sickening and so horrifying I have had to walk away from my laptop. Truly the most vile things I've ever read in my life, bar none. I'm at a loss for words that evil like this can evil exist at this depth. How was this never seen? Why did no one say anything? How can this happen in America?!!!!
