Many of us have been, by definition, Christian Zionists our entire lives. However, until recent years we either didn't know what to call it or didn't think it was relevant enough to bring up in conversation. (We're not all vegans after all LOL) The recent turn-up in outward identification with Zionism, in my opinion, was prompted by those who have externalized hostility towards Israel. That hostility isn't necessarily antisemitic: some don't like how Israel was reconstituted in 1948; others object to aspects of its conduct since then; and, yes, others do indeed loathe the race that comprises its demographics. On @x and elsewhere, it is common for accounts hostile to Israel to rage-bait those they disagree with by tagging their opponents as, well, lots of things, but always "Zionists". At first we were offended because it's a term bandied about as a slur; however, upon reviewing what it meant, we decided to agree instead, and we have adopted the term as an accurate descriptor. As for me, I consider myself a Christian Zionist because my Jewish Messiah--The Lion of the Tribe of Judah--The King of The Jews--is returning to rescue Jerusalem, to save the Jewish remnant (who finally turn to Him in the end times after severe judgment), to give His faithful their reward (Jew and Gentile), and to rule the nations for a thousand years... ...from Zion.

A Stanford psychologist spent 4 years proving that the simple act of walking generates 60% more creative ideas than sitting, and the experiment she designed to kill every alternative explanation is one of the most decisive findings in modern psychology. Her name is Marily Oppezzo. She got the idea for the study while walking with her advisor at Stanford to discuss her thesis topic, and the paper she eventually published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology in 2014 is sharp enough that it should have ended the seated meeting on the day it came out. She ran 4 experiments on 176 people. Same person tested twice. Once sitting, once walking. The creativity tasks were the standard ones psychologists have used for decades to measure how good a brain is at generating novel useful ideas. The result was almost too clean to publish. 81% of participants in the first experiment produced more creative ideas while walking than while sitting. In the second experiment, 88%. In the third, 100%. Every single person walked into a more creative version of themselves. On average, people generated 60% more novel useful ideas the moment their legs started moving. The skeptical question is the obvious one. Maybe it was the fresh air. Maybe it was the scenery passing by. Maybe it was the change of environment doing the work, not the walking itself. Oppezzo killed every one of those explanations with one experimental decision. She put people on a treadmill facing a blank wall. No scenery. No fresh air. No environmental change. Just legs moving in place while staring at white drywall. The 60% boost held. Then she ran the experiment that closed the case completely. She took participants outside in two conditions. Half of them walked through a Stanford courtyard. The other half were pushed through the exact same courtyard in a wheelchair. Same outdoor stimulation. Same scenery passing at the same speed. The only difference was whether the legs were moving. The walkers produced dramatically more novel high-quality ideas than the wheelchair group. The outdoors did almost nothing on its own. The walking did everything. This is the part of the study that hit hardest when I read it the first time. She also tested the opposite kind of thinking. Convergent thinking. The kind where there is one right answer and you have to narrow down to it. Word puzzles where 3 words share a hidden fourth word that connects them. The seated participants did slightly better on these. Walkers got slightly worse. Walking is not a general intelligence enhancer. It does one specific thing. It opens up the divergent search inside your brain. The part that generates options. The part that produces unexpected connections. The part that takes a problem and finds five ways into it instead of one. When you need to converge on the single right answer, sit down. When you need to find the answer in the first place, get up. The mechanism is now well understood. Walking selectively activates what neuroscientists call the default mode network, the system inside your brain that runs when you are not consciously focused on anything. The DMN is where mind-wandering happens. Where memories cross-reference each other. Where ideas that have been sitting in separate folders inside your head finally bump into each other. When you sit at a desk and force yourself to concentrate, you suppress the DMN. When you walk at a natural pace, the executive part of your brain gets just busy enough handling the walking that the DMN comes online and starts doing the work that focus was blocking. The most useful finding in the entire paper is the one almost nobody quotes. The boost did not turn off the moment people stopped walking. Participants who walked first and then sat back down stayed elevated. Their next round of seated creativity work was still significantly better than people who had been sitting the whole time. The rest lingered for at least several minutes after the legs stopped moving. You do not need to do creative work while walking. You need to walk before the creative work. The brain holds the state. The history of this is the part that should haunt anyone who still does meetings in chairs. Charles Darwin built a gravel loop behind his house in Kent called the Sandwalk and walked it 3 times a day for the rest of his life. The theory of evolution was developed one lap at a time on that path. Nietzsche walked up to 10 hours a day during the years he wrote his most important books and openly said the work was conceived on his feet. Beethoven composed for the morning and walked for 5 hours every afternoon with a pencil in his pocket for when something landed. Kahneman said the best thinking of his Nobel Prize-winning career happened on leisurely walks with Amos Tversky. Steve Jobs refused to take important conversations sitting down. He held them on foot. Every one of them was using the system Oppezzo would not measure until 2014. They just did not know what to call it. The question worth sitting with is the one almost nobody asks. Every meeting you have ever attended sitting around a table was a meeting held at a fraction of the brain power that was actually available to the people in the room. Every brainstorm that got stuck inside a conference room. Every problem you tried to solve at a desk and gave up on. Every idea you could not quite get to. The intervention is the easiest one in modern science. No supplement. No app. No subscription. No training program. Just a pair of legs and 15 minutes. The Stanford lab proved it. The philosophers knew it. The neuroscience explains it. And almost everyone reading this is still trying to think their way out of problems sitting completely still.

I have refrained from talking about Henry Nowak so far because I was too angry. I remain too angry. I'm angry at the scumbag who stabbed an 18-year-old boy to death. Who drove a blade into the back of his legs to stop him from running, then finished him by skewering him through the chest with an 8-inch blade. All while that poor boy tried desperately to escape. I'm angry that the same scumbag then cried "racism" to cover his tracks, claiming self-defence after pursuing and butchering an innocent boy who just wanted to get home. I'm angry at the parents who tried to hide the murder weapon and shield their killer son from justice, putting blood loyalty above any sense of right and wrong. I'm angry at the police who handcuffed a bleeding teenager while he cried "I'm dying" and "I can't breathe," and let him bleed out in the street. All because his attacker cried racism. I'm angry at the judge who has introduced manslaughter as an alternative verdict before the jury even had a chance to decide. Robbing Henry's family of the proper verdict on what was clearly cold-blooded murder. I'm angry at a nation that grants religious exemptions so minorities can carry deadly blades in public while locking up natives for far less. A nation that has opened the floodgates to migrants who want us dead and now watches its own young bleed out in the name of "diversity." I'm angry that we've allowed it to happen. I'm angry.

The Fall of Rome was a positive for the development of Western civilization. Rome was over 30% slaves and had little innovation given that slave labor was cheap. The Middle ages was not dark. Eventually hundreds of small to large monarchies innovating to get the most out of the land without the benefit of slaves. The best books on the Middle ages.

Her name was Isabella Stroupe. She was 19. She loved books. Her family called her Bella. She was tied to a bed with a tow strap and tortured for months in an east Charlotte NC apartment. Multiple broken bones. St*b wounds. R*ped repeatedly. Her mother said she screamed and screamed when she found out. Thomaz Hamilton, a violent repeat offender is charged with first-degree m*rder and first-degree r*pe. Months. She was alive in there for months. Say her name. Isabella Stroupe. WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

Learn the lesson of Nehushtan. The Torah recounts how God commanded Moses to build a bronze serpent, set it on a standard (pole), and lift it up for all Israel to look at. Israel was being punished by a plague of poisonous snake bites, but whenever anyone who had been bitten looked at the bronze serpent on the standard, they would be healed and saved from the plague (Numbers 21:6-9). This bronze statue was directly commissioned by God, and served as a visual, tangible point of focus to represent God’s deliverance for Israel. Indeed, this event was referenced by the Messiah Yeshua, who likened Himself to the bronze serpent, saying that He too must be lifted up (a reference to crucifixion) so that anyone who looks to Him and believes would have life—eternal life (John 3:14-15). But what God had told Moses to make, Israel later twisted. Around 700 years after Moses, Hezekiah king of Judah finally destroyed the bronze serpent which Moses had made, because the people of Israel had turned it into an idol named Nehushtan, burning incense to it and setting it up among the Asherah idols (2 Kings 18:1-4). God did not tell Moses to create an idol. But the people of Israel made it into one by treating it that way. And as a result, the thing which God used as a picture of His salvation had to be completely destroyed. The later actions of Israel made “Nehushtan” irredeemably tainted, and the good that it had accomplished in Israel’s past could not outweigh the present damage of its continued existence. Hezekiah was righteous in destroying what Moses had made. We should take this example seriously. What kinds of “Nehushtans” do we have in our lives or our religious sensibilities that need to be torn down? What traditions or institutions were set up in past times to accomplish good things for God, but now serve as distractions that are set up in place of God? Anything—no matter how good, holy, or godly it was at the start—can be twisted and perverted by our fleshly desires. Whether it’s a church building, or a synagogue, or a cross, or a Torah scroll, or a systematic doctrine, or a daily routine, or anything else, we can distort anything if we fixate on it as the master of our lives, rather than the One God whom these things supposedly are meant to glorify. Are we looking to religion to determine our faith, or are we looking to God and to His word?

🚨 Michigan Absentee Ballot Fraud EXPOSED — Ballots Rerouted to Detroit Homes Overseas absentee ballots were secretly diverted to random Detroit houses and cast by strangers who didn’t even know the real voters. This went on in 2017, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024. One case: Mary Elaine Beckman’s ballot was “processed” from a Detroit home full of non-English-speaking immigrants who had never heard of her. Ballots mailed to 7 Mile addresses instead of overseas locations — no applications ever sent to actual voters. Yet they were counted as valid.

Hey y'all...can we get a prayer chain started for Abraham and Tulsi Gabbard regarding his rare bone cancer?!? I am actually saddened by this news. I really like Tulsi and the job she is doing with President Trump. Now, her husband faces an upcoming battle, and they could use our prayers. Please lift them up in yours! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Miracles do indeed happen 🤭 A young German female activist from the latest Gaza flotilla was filmed by media in a neck-brace with her face looking “bruised and battered”, her expression tearful and “traumatized” after being held for a few hours in Israel. But then…. The Miracle 🤣 Just a couple of hours later, the same young German female activist was filmed perfectly fine, bouncing around, smiling and cheering… no bruises, no marks, no neck-brace, no injuries, no anything in fact. It is simply incredible the superhuman powers of recovery she showed. Even Wolverine and the X-Men would be jealous 😂

LEGACY: @DNIGabbard declassified highly sensitive records and internal documents from the Obama White House. The records make an even stronger case that the 2016 Russia collusion narrative was not rooted in credible intelligence. Rather, intelligence was manipulated by the outgoing Obama Administration in coordination with IC leadership to fit a preferred political narrative. As of May 2026, DNI Gabbard has declassified well over half a million pages of government records that were previously withheld from the American people.

All I’m saying is that no one who dies and comes back to life says they saw Mohammad.

Pray for President Trump. Not sure what’s happening. But whatever issue brought him back to Washington must be serious.

If you don’t want to have a baby, then don’t have sex. 96% of abortions would stop immediately. Decisions have consequences—oftentimes, permanent consequences. If you have sex, and you get pregnant, you cannot get un-pregnant. There is no going back. That unique human life has already been created. Your only options are to raise the child, give the child up for adoption, or (God forbid) end the child’s life. If you have an abortion, you will have to live the rest of your life knowing that you terminated your son or daughter in your womb. If you are intent on not having a baby, then be responsible for your own actions and abstain from indulging in the action which creates babies. I know that might seem backwards and antiquated in today’s society, but God’s design is for sex to be a joining of just one man and one woman, with the intent of covenantally bonding them in lifelong marriage and of bringing children into the world. The abuse of sex will always eventually lead to confusion, pain, or even death. The pro-choice slogan is, “My body, my choice”; and it is your body and your choice—until you get pregnant. So make the choice to not devote your body to shortsighted sexual desires, without regard for the lives of your future children. Instead, preserve yourself for your husband on your wedding night, when you’re ready to have kids and make a beautiful family.

The British politicians who took a knee for George Floyd have not even made a post about Henry Nowak.

Consequential thoughts can be set aside for a later time. Our heart expresses deep gratitude for @TulsiGabbard 's unwavering strength, and I am certain you will all join with me in prayer for a successful treatment, fast recovery and extended life for both of them – filled with abundance and joy. “My rock.” It is well understood. When cancer introduces the frozen moment of fear, it is prayer that battles the dark imaginings and faith that fuels us. There is before the moment of our knowledge, and there is everything that comes next. All else moves in a blur, we become disconnected from daily challenge. When the body is tested, faith and prayer strengthen the soul. Our battle no longer manifests in the business of things, but rather in the spirit of our faith.  “With God,” is not something to say it is the core of how we fight; we lean into the source of all healing. Prayer connects us directly to the God of love who created every cell in our body. In the battle against cancer, prayer is not the last resort it’s the beginning, the front line of hope and healing. Heavenly Father, we have need for You today. Please provide Your healing power and grace upon Abraham Williams, the husband of Tulsi Gabbard. Lord of mercy guide those who will now tend the affliction. We accept Your works through those You guide and love powerfully, completely and unconditionally. Our first, last and final healing is always found in You. We come to You today with our prayers for both Abraham and Tulsi, and we know You hear our prayers just as You understand our faith. We ask for Your comforting embrace of Abraham, Tulsi and those they love. Father of strength, lift the heart of Tulsi Gabbard and fill her with fortitude, courage and the sense of safety. God that holds the stars, we ask for Your healing and grace to cover Abraham; every affliction; every wound; every trepidation and consequence. Thank You for Your mighty power that works through all things. We reach out to You knowing through every struggle Your glory is in command. We ask that You pull our prayers close and extend Your healing power. In Jesus’ name. ~Amen!

Vaccines are so "safe & effective" placebo studies are "unethical" and banned. CDC has a database to compare but wouldn't release it. RFK pushed to open it so the CDC deleted it Here's the real data that shows vaccines increase chronic illness by 3-10X midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-much-dam…

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead @ODNIgov for the last year and a half. Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

This is VERY bad. Palestine Action have put Jewish Civilian addresses and personal details on a Target Map teaching people how “choose a target”
