While everyone argues about data centers and water, California almonds quietly use up to 80x more, AND the whole industry only survives because of trucked-in "livestock"... Every February, beekeepers transport nearly every commercial honeybee colony in the United States (around 2.8 million hives) to California to pollinate almonds. It's the largest "managed-pollination" event on the planet. Almonds cover 1.4 million acres and need bees to pollinate so they set nuts. So why do we need to truck them in? Well, almonds are grown in huge monoculture orchards, meaning the native bee species are all but eradicated...there's nothing for them to eat most of the year. To fix the problem WE created, we ship in bees from across the country. I interviewed the creator of the 2019 documentary The Pollinators, which followed this migration and brought a lot of this story into public view. First off, honeybees aren't native to North America. They were brought from Europe in the 1600s. The "bee crisis" you read about, with national colony losses around 55% last year and some commercial keepers losing 60 to 70% in a single season, is happening to a managed, introduced species. It's a livestock collapse driven by long-haul transport, pesticide exposure at bloom, hives packed together spreading mites and viruses, and a monoculture diet. Meanwhile, North America has roughly 4,000 native bee species. Most are solitary, don't make honey, don't sting, and quietly pollinate everything from squash to blueberries. Research out of UC Davis and UC Berkeley has been direct about this: when blue orchard bees, bumble bees, and other natives forage alongside honeybees in almond orchards, fruit set goes UP, not down. The presence of wild bees changes how honeybees move through the trees and makes the honeybees themselves more effective pollinators. So the fix isn't more honeybee hives. It's hedgerows, wildflower strips, bare ground for ground-nesting bees, and uncut field edges, aka habitat for the natives who were doing this work long before we started trucking in livestock. Honeybees are livestock. Native bees are the wildlife, and we should be planting to include them in our agriculture.

She gave her three-year-old daughter a sedative, wrapped her in a blanket, and placed her in a large leather suitcase. With her heart pounding, she waited in line to leave the Nazi ghetto, watched closely by armed guards. If the little girl made a sound, or if a guard decided to open the heavy bag, they would both be executed on the spot. When she finally made it outside the gates and her child was safe, she did something completely unthinkable. She went back inside. And then she saved another child. And another. She did this dozens of times, risking her life with every single step she took. For most of her life, that little girl, Henia Lewin, believed her mother, Gita Wisgardisky, had performed a single, desperate miracle just for her. It was not until her mother’s funeral many years later that the shattering truth finally emerged. An elderly survivor approached Henia at the cemetery, looked into her eyes, and revealed a secret kept for decades. "Your mother saved so many," the survivor told her. "No one knows how many. Maybe she didn’t even know herself. She didn’t count them." Gita had smuggled countless children out of the Kovno Ghetto in Lithuania, hidden deep inside suitcases or carried through secret passages, right under the noses of the oppressors. Henia was born in 1940 into a normal, loving Jewish family. That normalcy completely vanished when the Nazis invaded and forced the Jewish population into a cramped, disease-ridden ghetto. Hunger and sudden deportations became the daily reality. Gita saw through the lies early on. While some people hoped for the best, she understood the dark truth. She knew that when the Nazis spoke of relocating children, they actually meant killing them. Gita refused to wait for the end. Working secretly with a brave Lithuanian Catholic priest, she found kind families willing to hide Jewish children in the countryside. But getting the children out of the heavily guarded gates was a suicide mission. The children had to be perfectly still and silent. This was why Gita used sedatives. She put her own daughter into a deep, heavy sleep, placed her in that suitcase, and walked toward the guards. When a soldier stopped her, Gita did not panic. She calmly offered her watch and her best pair of leather boots as a bribe. The guard took them, looked away, and she passed through the gates. Little Henia was taken in by a Christian family. She was taught to call strangers mom and dad, and she learned to never mention her real name. Though she was only three, she understood the danger and kept the secret for two long years. Meanwhile, Gita went right back into the nightmare. She returned to the ghetto to find more children. Each trip involved a new suitcase, more sedatives, and a fresh set of bribes. She never asked for recognition. She simply acted. Miraculously, Gita, her husband Jonas, and Henia all survived the war. They eventually moved to the United States, where Henia grew up to become a school teacher and a passionate voice for Holocaust education. Today, Henia shares this story because memory is a torch that must be passed from hand to hand. It reminds us that even in the darkest corners of human history, love can conquer the greatest fears. Gita went to her grave without ever boasting about her heroism, but her legacy lives on in the generations of children who got to grow up, laugh, and have families of their own because one mother refused to leave anyone behind. Some stories are not meant to be closed—they are meant to be carried forward.

🚨 BREAKING: The FBI raided the Portland home of an ILLEGAL ALIEN who was shining lasers at military helicopters Turns out, he also lived with THREE OTHER ILLEGALS, and all of them are now in ICE custody, being processed for deportation. LMAO! FAFO! 🤣

Senators who are complicit in preventing Trump from making recess appointments ⬇️. @SenateGOP will either stand with Trump/MAGA, or face the voter consequences. I say we should replace them all.

GOP voters are plugged in… Like never before. We know what the Filibuster is. We know what a Pro Forma Session is. We know what the Blue Slip Tradition is. We know who the GOP is spending $ on. The GOP Establishment can’t hide their treachery. We see it. We’re ending it.

🚨 WOW! Marco Rubio reveals the US has now secured deportation agreements with 20 third-party countries to deport our illegals to And DHS is using that as LEVERAGE to get illegals to stop putting up fights to go back to their home countries If you tell them they're going to Cameroon, for example, they'll give up and say "just send me home to El Salvador instead" 😆 "We've gotten 20 countries now around the world who have signed agreements that allow us to deport people to those places." "What often happens when you go to the person who's here unlawfully and say, 'we're going to send you to this third country' is all of a sudden they decide they'd rather go back to their home country instead."

🚨 WOW! President Trump and EPA Chief Lee Zeldin just confirmed they CANCELED the fraudulent NGO Stacey Abrams got BILLIONS from the federal government "They put $2B into the account before leaving, and had NO reason for existence." ZELDIN: "THAT WAS CANCELED. They no longer have access to $2B." 🔥 "Over $29B has now been canceled at EPA."

🚨 DNI TULSI GABBARD JUST SAID IT PERFECTLY in front of THOUSANDS on the National Mall! "All of us, and all of our leaders, need to get on our knees and prostrate ourselves before the Supreme Lord, acknowledging that we are totally dependent upon Him for our success, indeed, for our survival." "We are at this time totally dependent upon God to light our path so that we can successfully navigate the troubled waters that we are in, into a future where our children and their children and generations for hundreds and thousands of years can live in peace, freedom, and prosperity." "So on this day, let us humble ourselves before God. Let us beg for His mercy and guidance." @TulsiGabbard 👏🏻

🔥 AWESOME! President Trump just gave a BEAUTIFUL sendoff to outgoing DNI Tulsi Gabbard at today's cabinet meeting. "She DRAMATICALLY reformed the Office of Director of National Intelligence and cut the staff by 40%. And she prevented COUNTLESS terrorists and cartel members from entering the United States." "She exposed MOUNTAINS of evidence related to the Russia, Russia, Russia hoax. One of the, probably the greatest hoax in the history of our country." "And she declassified numerous historic documents of special public interest, including related to the JFK and RFK assassinations, which everybody wanted to see. And we're now releasing a lot of things having to do with space." "Tulsi, we're praying for you and for your husband. Her husband's not feeling great, but he's going to feel great soon." 🙏🏻

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Trump SBA chief Kelly Loeffler exposes in the Cabinet room she found $200 BILLION in FRAUDULENT PPP loans distributed by the Biden admin... ...and they tried COVERING IT UP.

"We've turned the first $22 billion of that over to Treasury for collections and to DOJ for prosecution." "Our inspector general is already announcing that people are going to jail. There are jail sentences now being served." "We've announced that 140,000 people have been barred from ever getting SBA loans again defrauding the government for about $9 billion." "So we are going to continue our work under the great leadership of Vice President Vance and appreciate the partnership because it's really accelerated our ability to get the job done." 🇺🇸

🚨BREAKING: The Next Attorney General of Texas Will Order a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION of George Soros On DAY ONE for Funding Riots and Open Borders CRIMES Against The State Mayes Middleton: "We know who's driving this at the end of the day. George Soros is driving this, foreign billionaires, NGOs like SPLC. I will investigate these NGOs and hold them accountable." "I will also investigate George Soros on DAY ONE in office for the crimes I believe he has committed against our great state." "He's funding riots, he's funding DAs who are not prosecuting criminals. It's why I support Governor Abbott's statewide prosecutor plan, and it's why I also support adding prosecutorial powers to the Attorney General's Office."

We now turn our attention to Thune Goon Langford.
