🚨 Black mother catches HORRIFIC RACIST abuse of her nonverbal autistic son on hidden camera. School: Field Elementary School, 120 Sacred Heart Lane, Louisville, KY 40206 White Teacher: Robert Ransdell (ECE Assistant) For months the school claimed her sweet son was “abusive” and ignored her requests to observe the classroom. On May 13, she hid a camera in his ponytail. What she found was nothing short of HORRIFIC. The footage captures Robert Ransdell aggressively approaching her son after the main teacher left the room — followed by her child’s screams. The video & audio captures Robert Ransdell calling the child a “STUPID N*GGER BOY” while he chokes the child and slaps him and drags the child across the classroom by his hair!

CLOWN SHOW‼️ #Circus

Many Americans today have mixed opinions about Barack Obama. Some admire him, others criticize him. But for those of us who come from outside, the reality is often different. Believe it or not, no American president has ever left such a strong impression around the world as Barack Obama. He embodied hope, respect, intelligence, and dialogue. He represented a powerful image of America: open, inspiring, and close to the people. For many of us, Obama was not just a president; he was a symbol. A symbol that everything is possible, that social background, skin color, or personal history should never be limits. He restored confidence to millions of young people around the world. He spoke to the world with dignity, calm, and responsibility. He knew how to unite instead of divide. No matter the internal political debates, internationally, Barack Obama will forever remain one of the most respected, loved, and admired American presidents. His legacy goes beyond borders. And his name will remain engraved in history.

@allenanalysis At the earliest it will be 2029 and as much as likely Trump will be out of Power by the time it’s open.

🧵THREAD: I want you to see this clearly. Two hours after a man with a shotgun fired shots at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, sixteen of the most prominent MAGA influencers on X all posted the same message. The message was not "thank God the President is safe." The message was "this is why we need the White House ballroom."

@TimT_MP @CurtisHouck @ScottJenningsKY This real estate guy from 20 years ago saw what the GOP were becoming, more extremist views, pandering to the far right and the MIC. I wonder what his position is on impeaching the current president for getting the U.S. into an unwinnable war duped by Israel’s 40 years of lies.

@CurtisHouck @ScottJenningsKY Democrats thrive on hatred of America when they are out of power. They see it as their ticket back into power. They call Trump a fascist and Hitler 2.0 but it will not stop with Trump. From now until the end of time, any Republican President will be the latest Hitler. Just watch.

BOOM: CNN panel EXPLODES when @ScottJenningsKY argues Americans *should* be proud to live in the greatest country on Earth and that it’s the left who hates this country, hate its history, and fear for the future.... “I like it when our leaders talk about a hopeful future. I think that's good for the country. I — I guess I sort of reject the premise of the conversation a little in that, you know, these are somehow dark times and we're living through this uncertain rough patch. I mean, I'm pretty happy, you know, and I think a lot of people are.” “If you looked at the splits [in an NBC News poll] on how people feel about America, the promise of America, if you look at whether they’re proud of their country or not — ,,Gallup has measured this — Republicans and conservatives are proud to be Americans, and it’s Democrats and liberals who are not. And I think if you looked at the splits in that, you’d find — you — you’d find — you’d find — you’d find the two lines on the graph going this way. And honestly, I mean, I think there’s a political movement in this country right now built on telling people that America is rotten at its core. It’s not the Republican ideology.” “The problem is telling you the truth about the numbers?” “I’m not going to give you a break about the math!” “Yeah. I agree. We have we have Democrats cheering for Iran. I totally agree with you. It’s crazy.” “What you’re raising, though, is the issue of — we’re not living in a shared reality. This is the biggest difference today for the rest of the country’s history. And it's hard to have a shared national purpose when you don’t have a shared reality. And so, I think one of the things we're going to have to grapple with as Americans is, you know, how do we have more of a shared reality when it comes to our political [differences]”

@CurtisHouck Two words: Dunning-Kruger

Scott, as usual, brought the receipts... x.com/ScottJenningsK…

@CurtisHouck @ScottJenningsKY Republicans show a remarkable anosognosia about the damage their policies cause. The world is currently either shocked, sad, or laughing at the mess the USA has become. To go from leading the free world to what it is today is devastating.

One of the most shared videos worldwide. Boycott all Israel products.

@EvanWritesOnX @__Perk_ Can you imagine explaining this to Trump? He might be the interface but never the architect.

The posts you're seeing online, "Trump is an idiot," "strategic failure," is the most surface level thinking you can come across. These people evaluating the "war" are as though the sitting president is the principal actor pursuing coherent state objectives, and then grading him against those objectives. When the objectives appear contradictory, bombing a country while lifting sanctions on its oil, attacking Iran while enriching Russia; they conclude incompetence. But the contradiction only exists if you assume the US government is the client. It isn't. The Private Sector is the client. And from TPS's perspective, every single move is executing precisely as the structural incentives predict. There's right now, three TPS sectors that are directly feeding on this war simultaneously. This rarely happens. They usually take turns on rotation. The MIC via the Pentagon has requested $200 billion in supplemental war funding, on top of a baseline defense budget already exceeding $800 billion annually. Mostly taxpayers. Taxpayers who think this is a "strategic failure". Lockheed's stock alone has risen nearly 40% since the beginning of 2026 as tensions with Iran grew. The energy sector is the second beneficiary, and this is where the "sanctions contradiction" reveals itself as anything but contradictory. Before the war, the US had already become the world's largest LNG exporter. Now look at what the war did to the competitive landscape. Qatar halted LNG production after Iranian strikes on its facilities, removing the world's second-largest LNG supplier from the market. European natural gas prices nearly doubled, and European storage sat at a five-year low below 30%. Asian and European buyers are now scrambling for whatever LNG is available, and US terminals are already operating at full capacity. American LNG producers aren't shipping more volume; they're collecting massively higher prices on every cargo that leaves the Gulf Coast. These producers will be in for a windfall as desperate international buyers bid top dollar to secure what fuel is available. The structural consequence is permanent: Qatar's reputation as the world's most reliable LNG supplier is damaged. Gas importers are realizing they've perhaps taken Qatar's dependability for granted. Qatar knows this. It's baked into the agreement. Trade-off. When buyers restructure their long-term contracts after this crisis, they will diversify toward US supply, the only major LNG exporter not located in a warzone or subject to Strait of Hormuz risk. The war doesn't just produce short-term profits for US energy companies; it restructures the global LNG market's risk calculus permanently in Private Sector's favor. Now resolve the "sanctions contradiction." The surface-level critics see this sequence: the US starts a war, oil prices spike, and then the administration lifts sanctions on Russian oil and Iranian oil at sea to bring prices down. They call this incoherent. It's perfectly coherent. It's just serving a different client than the one critics assume. Trump said his administration would lift some sanctions on oil-producing countries to keep energy prices down, stating "We have sanctions on some countries. We're going to take those sanctions off until this straightens out." The Treasury issued a 30-day waiver on deliveries of Russian oil already loaded on tankers, and on Friday, Treasury lifted sanctions on 140 million barrels of Iranian oil at sea. What does this accomplish? It provides just enough price relief to prevent the oil shock from becoming politically fatal domestically, Brent crude at $112 is painful but manageable; $125 would trigger a recession and collapse Congressional support. The sanctions relief acts as a pressure valve to keep oil in the band where the managed conflict can continue. It doesn't end the price spike; it modulates it. Meanwhile, the underlying damage to Iranian and Qatari supply capacity continues to accumulate, ensuring that when the 'war' ends, the market will have permanently shifted toward private sector energy dominance. That's the play. That's the terms being negotiated while you're watching a "war" play out. The Russian sanctions relief is the most telling. The Kremlin's spokesman said US and Russian "interests coincide" regarding energy market stabilization. European leaders were outraged. Zelensky warned that revenue from the eased sanctions would fund Russia's war effort in Ukraine. But notice who was not upset: US energy producers. Russian oil entering the market at temporarily unsanctioned prices is competition, yes, but it's controlled competition, limited to 30-day waivers on oil already at sea. It calms markets without fundamentally altering long-term supply contracts. And it creates a diplomatic chit with Moscow that may prove useful in a future Ukraine settlement. The TPS doesn't care about Russian sanctions on principle, it cares about them instrumentally. When the instrument needs recalibrating, it recalibrates. The FIC angle is equally important. I mentioned this many times. Oil prices remain well above pre-war levels, with Brent crude settling around $112 per barrel, up from roughly $70 before the conflict began. That $40+ per barrel spread, applied across global crude markets, represents an enormous transfer of wealth. Commodity trading desks, insurance markets (warzone and marine insurance premiums have exploded), shipping firms navigating alternative routes, and financial institutions managing the volatility; all of these are extracting fees from the crisis. The FIC doesn't need a side in the war. It hedges either way, with enough volatility to generate trading profits but not so much that markets seize up entirely. The $105-115 Brent band is the sweet spot. The Strait of Hormuz is the key to the entire architecture. Every analyst quoted in mainstream media treats the closure as an unintended consequence. Something the administration "didn't see coming." But look at the incentive map. The Strait's closure is the mechanism by which all three TPS extraction channels, very rarely, activate simultaneously. Without the Strait closure, there's no oil price spike (no FIC windfall), no Qatari supply disruption (no US LNG market capture), and no compelling reason for a $200 billion defense supplemental (no MIC ratchet). Trump has now said the Strait of Hormuz should be "guarded and policed" by "other Nations who use it, the United States does not." The US doesn't need Hormuz oil, it's a net energy exporter. The countries that need Hormuz are in Europe and Asia. By forcing them to shoulder the military burden of reopening the strait, Washington compels its allies to increase their own defense spending (boosting MIC exports), deepen their dependence on US security guarantees, and accept US LNG as the safe alternative to Gulf supply. Six allied nations have already committed to "preparatory planning" for a Hormuz security coalition; exactly the outcome that makes NATO allies pay for their own protection, a stated Trump objective since 2017. The GCC understand all this. Iran understands all this. Russia and China understand all this. This is the trade-off for the US leaving the Middle East. This is the trade-off for the peace and stability ask. The states are willing to take a setback against the TPS if it means gaining more autonomy in the future. They play the long game. The TPS wants to get paid today. All three factions are collecting. While citizens who are effectively paying for it, call this a strategic failure. Open your eyes.

According to a new study, people who took last winter's flu vaccine were 26.9% more likely to get influenza than the unvaccinated.

@thehealthb0t lol An outlier study and no one bothers to look up the full figures for the season. smh

Arrogance and ignorance is a bad combination‼️

MUST WATCH: Today, Tennessee House Republican Representative Michele Reneau stated the following on a House education bill: “The Bible actually does instruct those who do own slaves on how to treat them.” She is then, justifiably, TORCHED by Justin Pearson. Stop using and weaponizing the Bible to justify committing atrocities, white people (and those adjacent)!! 🤬

… why can’t the NHS trusts just do this work themselves, paying staff properly to work out of hours and eliminate the need for private companies? We need to raise funds to run this project. And we’re almost halfway there already! 😮💙🥰🚨 - please click here to donate …

Hello! I know you’re really busy but could I borrow you for 1 min? This is important 🚨 We think private equity might be moving in on the NHS - attracted by making money from the huge waiting lists. And we want to investigate what’s going on and tell as many people as possible..
