Remarkably direct statement from LHL.
Melissa Chen@MsMelChen

Since its founding, the CCP has sought to use the Leninist concept of the United Front to extend its influence abroad by weaponizing ethnic ties to the Chinese diaspora. Lee Kuan Yew knew this first hand. In the 1950s–60s, Chinese medium schools and left wing unions in Singapore were heavily infiltrated by communist elements tied to Maoist China and the Malayan Communist Party. They caused a lot of trouble for him. He once said: "The danger is, if you are Chinese-educated and only Chinese-educated, you are monolingual, then your source of literature will be communist." So one of the smartest things LKY did was to make English the working language of government, business, education, and administration (while promoting bilingualism with mother tongues). Lee recognized that "ethnic strings" could be weaponized. Prioritizing English was more than just an anti-communist measure. Lee Kuan Yew understood that it would help create a neutral, unifying language and identity in Singapore’s multiracial society, while also cutting the emotional and cultural ties that linked its ethnic Chinese population to their ancestral homeland. Ties which the CCP are only too happy to weaponize. It's significant that Lee Hsien Loong - Lee Kuan Yew’s own son and Singapore’s former Prime Minister - chose to reaffirm the very ethos of his father’s founding vision before an audience in mainland China, speaking directly to the Chinese leadership and the CCP itself.

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”

@clashreport It would be more accurate to say the communist revolution killed over 100 million Chinese and impoverished many more. Only when the CCP got with the western, capitalist programme did people start to see their standard of living improve.

Former Singaporean diplomat Kishore Mahbubani: China has rescued 800 million people out of poverty — two and a half to three times the population of the United States. That's an amazing achievement. When people say the Chinese people are not free, I ask a very simple question: If the Chinese people are not free, why do over 130 million Chinese people leave China each year and then, using their own two feet, return to China every year?

Thomas Massie: “The force of the whole swamp has come down on me.” “It’s three billionaires.” “They’re hedge fund managers and gambling magnates.” “They’re upset that I’ve never voted for foreign aid.” “Particularly foreign aid to Israel.” “And they’re upset that I vote against the wars.” “These billionaires are funding a super PAC called MAGA Kentucky.” “They are not MAGA, and they have never been to Kentucky.” “There will be $6 million spent this week on TV and radio and mail.” “Fox News, they’ve got a monopoly on the screens in a lot of Republican houses, particularly people between the ages of 65 and 75.” “For the last 18 months, they’ve not invited me on a single show.” “They have blacklisted me.” “I can’t get on TVs in the living rooms of the people that vote in this election unless I can buy TV ads.” @RepThomasMassie @MassieforKY

They’ve been on it for years. Since school most of them. Anyone can beat a test when they’re a pro getting good coin in Japan. It’s the years of doping leading up to that point that makes the difference.

If VAR is just delaying a human decision that can just as likely be wrong, what is the point of VAR? Isn’t it better to just go with the on field calls and live with the results? #whuars #coyi

@joemontana100 The thing that gets me is you can’t trust your gut reaction to a goal. It’s like putting your passion in the hands of some joyless guy from accounts.
