Why do you feel restless after watching p*rn? Your body may enjoy it. But your soul suffers. When the soul weakens, life begins to lose its direction and barakah.
P*rn is a silent addiction.
It starts as “just once.”
Then it becomes a habit.
Soon, worship feels heavy.
Salah feels empty.
Du’a feels distant.
Dhikr becomes neglected.
The Qur’an becomes difficult to read.

Because the eyes are a gateway to the heart.
What repeatedly enters the eyes eventually affects the heart.

You only need 3 questions to audit your whole day. Most Muslims fail all 3.
Every night, you replay your day in your head. Most people call it overthinking. The Sunnah turns it into accountability.
The Companions (RA) would hold themselves accountable every day.
Here are 3 questions to ask yourself every night:

Here are 3 questions to ask yourself every night:
1. Did I pray every salah on time?
Not, “Did I pray?”
Not, “Did I make them up?”
On time.
The fard prayers are the foundation of a Muslim’s day and the most basic accountability check.
If you can’t answer yes to this one, fix this first.

🔥Breaking, I have recently discovered that Obama has long been associated with a dark, Alinsky Organizing group in Minnesota called Wellstone Action and renamed to Re:Power. And even have had fairly recent interactions also. Wellstone also has deep connections to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Now we will know why so much bad comes from Minnesota.
Wellstone even operates a training camp named in honor of Paul Wellstone who once declared, “I am an old Alinsky organizer.”
You all may be familiar with one of their earliest Camp Wellstone trainees, Tim Walz. And his Wellstone trainer was Peggy Flanagan, the now Lt governor of MN. The DSA’s influence on Wellstone was profound, and it continues to echo in Walz’s career.
So what are some names of their past staffers?
- Francis fox Pivan (eek)
- Peggy Flanagan, MN lieutenant Gov
- Keith Ellison MN, Attorney General
- Al Franken
- Donna Brazille
Obama and Francis Fox Pivan used to work together at Demos which Obama helped start. He was also on the board of directors at Demos too.
Obama also worked as a director with Francis Fox Pivan at Project Vote too. Both Demos and Project Vote were partnered with Acorn.
“Paul Wellstone, elected U.S. Senator in 1990 and reelected in 1996 as a DSA-backed project, represented this tradition. A former New American Movement member (merged into DSA), Wellstone advised Young Democratic Socialists and functioned as a populist Marxist – “the Bernie Sanders before Bernie Sanders.” His 2002 plane crash death made him a Minnesota icon.”
“Wellstone Action (later rebranded) trained over 100,000 activists. Today’s Minnesota leadership stems directly from this: Senator Amy Klobuchar (Wellstone protégé), Governor Tim Walz, Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and others are Wellstone alumni. Keith Ellison’s background includes Nation of Islam ties (a left-wing group with communist links), fundraisers at the Minnesota Communist Party leader’s home, and connections to DSA and FRSO.”
FRSO, is headquartered in both Obama’s Chicago and the Twin Cities (MN). And is responsible for the George Floyd riots that started in MN.
Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), is a pro-Chinese Maoist group. It helped found Black Lives Matter elements and maintains Chinese consulate ties.
Now let’s get into Obama’s history with Wellstone. But before I do, I wanted to note that I learned during this quest, Obama’s OFA never left it just merged with the Obama Foundation.
Let’s start at the beginning. Obama and Minnesotas Wellstone go way back.
🔹Former Wellstone action did Obama’s campaign in MN 2008 and 2012
“Jeff Blodgett will once again helm President Barack Obama‘s campaign in Minnesota. The former executive director of Wellstone Action started with the campaign on Monday.”
🔹2017 there was talk of Obama working with Wellstone for the Trump resistance.
“Organizing for Action (OFA) , the successor to Barack Obama’s presidential campaign that has been rebuilding itself as a Trump-era resistance machine, is launching a new effort to train more activists by connecting progressive groups with newly-trained organizers.
After training 1,000 fellows since the start of the year, OFA will work with Wellstone Action”
🔹But like I said, OFA merged into the Obama Fndn. But OFA also partnered with Wellstone while he was still president.
July 2016 as per the DSA:
“Barack Obama’s successful Obama for America became Organizing for America and recently Organizing for Action (and will become part of the Obama Foundation that raises money for his presidential library). They joined such previously formed groups as Wellstone Action (created to carry on the legacy of the late Minnesota senator Paul Wellstone) and MoveOn,”
🔹Coincidentally a Wellstone trainer was on Joe Biden’s campaign.
🔹Re:Power (Wellstone) partners 2018
- Obama Fndn
- Revolution Messaging, Judge Merchans daughter
- Working Families Party (communist)

This also links to everything imaginable for the 2020 election and more recent too.

A woman just called me about 30 minutes ago. Voice shaking and trembling with fear underneath.
Her favourite pet dog has been acting weird.
Experience minutes of seizure (tonic-clonic), it stops after which the dog start running 440 before regaining consciousness.

I tried my best to calm her down and explain the basis to her.
Apparently the dog is due for vaccine since January, however she said her vet asked her to wait till September to synchronise with her other dog's vaccination.
How? Why? On what basis?
I don't know 🤦♂️🤦♂️

Apparently, judging from my experience and years of practice, the culprit is CDV!
I promised to check up on the dog once day break!
She was so happy that I was available to pick her call at such an odd hour and giving her rapt attention despite not knowing her.

That's not an accident.
Every measurement, material, and color was pointing to something, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

The reason for the Tabernacle is stated plainly:
Exodus 25:8 — "Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst."
This is staggering.
The infinite God of the universe wanted to live among a wandering group of former slaves in a desert.
The Hebrew word מִשְׁכָּן (mishkan) means "dwelling place."
The entire structure exists to answer one question that runs through all of Scripture:
How can a holy God dwell among an unholy people without destroying them?
Everything in the design is an answer to that question.

There was only one entrance to the entire courtyard.
One gate. One way in. (Exodus 27:16)
Not multiple paths. Not "find your own door."
Every Israelite who wanted to approach God came through the same single entrance.
Centuries later, Jesus would say: "I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved." (John 10:9)
The architecture itself was teaching a truth long before it was spoken aloud: access to God comes through one appointed way, not many.

I have today signed the NIMC Act 2026 into law.
For nearly twenty years, Nigeria’s identity system operated under a law written for a different era. That era is over.
This new Act gives our nation a modern, secure and digital identity framework fit for the Nigeria we are building, a Nigeria on the path to becoming a one-trillion-dollar economy.

This law makes NIMC the Root Certification Authority for Nigeria’s National Public Key Infrastructure and Digital Public Infrastructure. With this, NIMC now holds the keys to trust in our digital economy: every digital signature, every secure transaction, and every verified identity.
This is how serious nations build digital economies, and we are building one for Nigeria.

I will not allow the data of Nigerians to be treated carelessly.
This Act aligns our identity system with the Nigerian Data Protection Act. The act expressly says your personal information cannot be accessed without your consent. It cannot be used beyond the purpose for which you gave it, and any access must go through proper legal channels.
This is your right as a Nigerian, and this law protects it.

Last week, DSA candidate Mathewos Samson won a state House runoff in urban Atlanta by 33 points, carrying the district’s 85% Black, ~$30k median-income tract by 30+.
DSA candidates still run best with young, highly educated urban voters, but their wins are not limited to them.

Recent results offer little to no evidence that DSA candidates are broadly strong in general elections with white working-class voters or working-class voters of color (The Squad, on balance, underperformed in 2022 and 2024). But in Democratic primaries, DSA is clearly a force.
1/ Here's what so many people get wrong about Richard Nixon and Watergate.
👇🧵
👇🧵
2/ First - the context. Nixon entered office with the deck stacked against him.
He was the first president since 1849 to take office with both Houses of Congress controlled by the opposing party.
The permanent bureaucracy, media, and political elite were all aligned against him.
