I love being surrounded by books in every room of my apartment. It doesn’t matter that I haven’t read most of them yet. They sit there as little monuments to humanity, stacked capsules of time, the promise of future conversations—friends.

How do you feel about this?

Your spouse isn't just one of your relationships in this world ... they are your #1 relationship in this world. That means you put them first over EVERYTHING including your parents, family and friends. You have their back and don't allow others put them down... including parents or children. Your relationship with your spouse should come before any other relationship in your life, short of your relationship with God.

Signing Exact English (SEE) isn’t the best way to teach deaf children reading and writing because it’s not how language naturally works. American Sign Language has its own grammar and structure, which are different from English. When you try to sign English word for word, it can feel awkward and confusing, and students may not fully understand either language well. A bilingual approach using ASL and English works better. ASL helps build a strong first language foundation, where students can really understand ideas, grow their vocabulary, and develop thinking skills in a natural way. That foundation is important because without it, learning to read and write in English is much harder. Once students are strong in ASL, they can connect those ideas to written English more easily. They understand the meaning first, then learn how to express it in English, instead of just copying word by word. This leads to better reading and writing overall.

@news_australian Absolutely!

BREAKING: Do you support Australian Governor-General, Sam Mostyn, intervening to free Ben Roberts-Smith by declaring that she’ll pardon him if convicted? This should lead to charges being dropped since a court trial will be pointless if he’s going to be pardoned! Do you Agree?

Pierre Poilievre tells @Kris_Sims that he is in FAVOUR of having recall legislation in Parliament so that voters can hold MPs who cross the floor and betray their constituents accountable by forcing a by-election. This is common sense and I completely agree with Pierre here.

Canada's deputy prime minister sent $25 billion to Ukraine. Then went to work for Zelensky. Chrystia Freeland signed every check. Announced every package. Arranged nearly $2 billion through the IMF. Then on January 1st 2026 Zelensky appointed her as his personal economic advisor. You cannot make this up. Irony writes itself.

How many of these things have you noticed: 1. Malls don’t have windows so you won’t realize it’s already dark outside… You lose track of time and stay longer. 2. Bars don’t display clocks so you don’t notice how long you’ve been there… You keep drinking, spending more. 3. Restaurants play fast, upbeat music so you eat quicker and leave sooner… Making space for the next customer. 4. Cafés play slow, relaxing music so you stay longer and end up ordering more. 5. Supermarkets place essentials like milk at the back so you walk through the store and pick up things you didn’t plan to buy. Everything is intentional. Nothing is random.

Payday on a US Navy cruiser, 1942... During World War II, U.S. Navy sailors were typically paid in cash while at sea, with shipboard paymasters distributing wages by hand. Enlisted sailors earned base pay ranging from about $21 to $66 per month depending on rank, with additional allowances for specialized roles and time in service. Paydays were organized and recorded carefully, as ships could be deployed for extended periods without access to banks. Sailors often used their earnings to purchase goods from the ship’s store or saved money to send home through allotments, which were encouraged to support families during wartime. The process shown here reflects the scale of coordination required aboard large vessels, where crews often exceeded 1,000 personnel. By 1942, the U.S. military had expanded rapidly to over 12 million service members, making payroll distribution a major logistical operation across all branches. © History Pictures #archaeohistories

BREAKING: Court documents reveal that Australian government war crimes investigators do not even have the NAMES of two individuals Ben Roberts-Smith is alleged to have killed in Afghanistan almost 20 years ago. Nobody has managed to identify these alleged victims - even after $300 million was spent on war crimes investigations over five years. Australian Office of Special Investigations director Ross Barnett already revealed that investigators have: - No crime scenes - No access to the deceased - No bodies - No post-mortem report - No official cause of death - No recovery of projectiles to link to weapons that might have been carried by members of the ADF - No photographs - No site plans - No measurements - No recovery of projectiles - No blood spatter Now we know that after nearly $300 million and 5 years of investigation, they do not even have the NAMES of two alleged victims. If there is no name, no identification, no body - how do we even know they were killed? Does anybody actually think this is fair? Does anybody actually think that a criminal conviction - proved to a criminal standard, beyond reasonable doubt - is remotely possible in these circumstances? Daily Mail: ''Two of the five men Ben Roberts-Smith is accused of murdering while serving with the Special Air Service in Afghanistan have never been identified by war crimes investigators. Court documents seen by the Daily Mail show one of the Victoria Cross recipient's alleged victims is described only as 'Person Under Control 1', or alternatively 'Enemy Killed in Action 3'.''

Last year, Justin Trudeau set the tone of nationwide fear, telling Canadians not to travel to the US. Now, he's on vacation in California. I wonder how long it will take Canadians to realize that the anti-American fear campaign was just a way to score cheap political points.

@Murk441 Me…I could

Who could?

You too?

@Murk441 56 years for us…

On the same day Justin Trudeau was spotted at a teenage music festival in California with Katie Perry, Mark Carney tells to Canadians to stay in Canada because Orange Man bad.

An 11-year-old girl often joined her mother, a nurse who cared for elderly residents in nursing homes. She noticed that the residents had simple needs that insurance and their families did not fully cover. She went room to room and asked each person to share three wishes. To her surprise, none were luxury items—just everyday things like favourites, snacks, or small comforts. She created a GoFundMe campaign and an Amazon wishlist program. The funds she raised allowed her to fulfil those wishes for the residents in the care home.

Reading for 30 minutes every day completely changes your how you think. Your thinking becomes deeper. So just read more books.
