1).
โ€žA new investigation has backed up evidence given by a woman who has accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her when she was 13, according to a report.
2).
The woman conducted four interviews with the @FBI in 2019 in which she detailed alleged abuse by @realDonaldTrump and child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Her interviews referencing Trump were initially withheld by @TheJusticeDept (@DOJRR47).โ€

Here's the problem. These are all "tactical" objectives. They are not strategy. Because there IS NO strategy.

1/ Let me take these "objectives" 1-4 to explain - based upon what I've learned in briefings - why we are badly and embarrassingly losing this war.
2/ Rubio objective 1: destroy their air force.

Air power is how a nation projects extra-territorial power. And how you protect your own airspace.

But drones are replacing airplanes. And we CANNOT destroy all their drones. Their drone attacks continue.

3/ Rubio Objective 2: Destroy their navy.

Ok, but for what? Their "navy" isn't what closes the Strait of Hormuz. It's thousands of speed boats and suicide boats. And like their drones, we can't destroy them all.

The Strait stays closed, navy or no navy.

6 signs your body desperately needs to reset from chronic stress (& you don't realize it):

1. Stubborn belly fat.
Stress slows your metabolism to a crawl.

This creates:
โ€ข Low energy
โ€ข Weight gain
โ€ข Cold hands/feet

No matter how clean you eat

Once your metabolism reflects survival mode, your engine is shutting down to conserve energy for the "threat." Image
2. Gut issues that won't resolve

When stress is high, digestion shuts down.

This creates:
โ€ข Chronic inflammation
โ€ข Nutrient deficiencies
โ€ข Food sensitivities

No matter how clean you eat, your body can't use it.

Once your gut breaks down, where does it spread?

Oil rising
Geopolitics heating up
Supply chains under pressure

FED:
โ€œNothing to see here.โ€ ๐Ÿ‘€

Letโ€™s translate:

Inflation โ€œnot affectedโ€ =
๐Ÿ‘‰ People havenโ€™t panicked yet

1/ For the non-apostolic, Iโ€™d like to offer a bit of insight into our world of whatโ€™s commonly known as holiness preaching.

We do affirm that separation and distinction in clothing and lifestyle are salvific.

The criticisms of such are often weird to us, though.

A ๐Ÿงต.
2/. Itโ€™s important to know that these practices come from two places: direct commands and principle guided decisions, both from the Word.

The intent of this thread is not to speak to those so much as to speak to the criticism(s) commonly offered.
3/ Everyone with a nominal Christian worldview (and most otherwise) have a basic (and innate) sense of propriety, the appropriateness, of behaviors and attires for social occasions, whether formal or informal.

This is Sandy Island, in Australia's Coral Sea:
- 15 miles long, 3 wide
- First recorded in 1774
- Not actually there.

It's the world's most recently undiscovered island, after 2 previous attempts to undiscover it failed. (What a sentence!)

Here's the story...

1/ Image
In April 2000, radio enthusiasts on a 'DX-pedition' (radio-mapping a remote place - โ€œDXโ€ is telegraphic jargon for "distant") sailed in search of Sandy Island.

Here's a modern Landsat pic of what they found. If you *really* squint...

Nah. No point! There's nothing there.

2/ Image
Here's a British admiralty chart from 1908, showing Sandy Island upper middle-left - apparently via data from a French whaling ship 'Velocity', which claimed it charted the island in 1876.

Whoops! Well, these things happen.

But satellite photos should settle it, right?

OK, try this one:
Suppose that, to counter an obesity epidemic, the government introduces a new policy. Every citizen has to turn up, once a month, to the town hall. You have to strip down to your underwear, and stand on the scales. You are photographed, and your weight ...
.. is read out to your fellow citizens in the queue which snakes through the hall. Failure to turn up is punishable by a hefty fine, and eventually disenfranchisement after three strikes. ...
... This would be a terrible idea. Coercive, shaming intrusive and illiberal. ...

1/ Hereโ€™s our inciting incident: (FBI data + Deloitte projections)

The bad guys are about to have robots capable of human-grade deception at machine scale.

That means we need to rethink the entire cybersecurity stack, especially the human layer.deloitte.com/us/en/insightsโ€ฆ
2/ My hot take: the dominant security training models have a role problem.

People are onboarded as hypothetical victims. Trained as hypothetical victims. Graduate as hypothetical victims.

In an age of AI voice clones, deepfakes, and native-looking fraud, that's the wrong role.
3/ The video + quiz model (think "defensive driving") is a necessary-but-not-sufficient solution. It can satisfy compliance, but does not reliably build instinct.

Real attacks land fast, social, emotional, and contextual. And they never arrive as neat multiple-choice questions.

The US-Israeli attack on Iran

A few thoughts in a ๐Ÿงต
Itโ€™s obvious to everyone that the US doesnโ€™t have a clue what it is doing and Trump is acting on instinct.
Trumpโ€™s instincts are rubbish when it comes to war and geopolitics.

This scientist spent 20 years proving every major disease shares one hidden root.

Before we reveal it, here are 8 facts about human health that no doctor will ever tell you (#3 is where it all connects):

1. Vegans have smaller brains (explained in 20 seconds):
The brain requires DHA and EPA (two essential omega-3s that only exist in animal foods)

A recently published book documented that the less meat a human eats, the smaller the brain becomes.

PS: This is also why depression spikes when people eliminate animal foods. Image
2. Your doctor is measuring the wrong thing.

Most physicians only test blood glucose, but millions of people with normal glucose are already severely insulin resistant.

Get your fasting insulin tested:

Malignant narcissists crave control not just as a means to an end, but because controlling others makes them feel powerful. Itโ€™s not about achieving a goalโ€”itโ€™s about proving they can control. Their fragile ego depends on this, giving them the illusion of superiority. They donโ€™t just want compliance; they enjoy the act of making people submit.
This manifests in ways that are not only disruptive but often deeply destructive. A malignant narcissist may change rules arbitrarily, contradict themselves, or demand things that are impossible just to watch others struggle. They create unnecessary conflict, sabotage progress, and destabilize situations simply because maintaining confusion and disorder keeps them in control. Predictability and stability threaten them because those conditions empower others to think and act independently.
When a malignant narcissist accuses someone of being "controlling" or "demanding," it's often pure projection. They expect full submission, so when someone sets a boundary, asserts themselves, or simply expects basic respect, the narcissist twists it into an act of control or unreasonableness.
This is also where their use of false equivalence comes in. Theyโ€™ll act as if someone expecting fair treatment is just as bad as their own selfish, manipulative behavior. In their mind, the person who asks for decency is "demanding," while the narcissistโ€™s actual demands for control are dismissed as reasonable. Itโ€™s a way to gaslight and reframe the situation so that they can avoid accountability while making their target feel guilty or unreasonable for standing up for themselves.
