There is something more dangerous than black magic and evil eye:
Let’s talk about something most people miss.
In Surah Al-Falaq, we ask Allah’s protection from so many evils:
1. from the evil of whatever He has created
2. from the evil of the night
3. from the evil of those blowing onto knots
4. from the evil of an envier when they envy.

But we only call upon Allah once:
“Qul a’udhu bi-Rabbil Falaq”
(Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak)

I'm old enough to remember me getting shadow-banned from CNN for a while after calling Jennings a liar and asking on live air why CNN was paying Jennings to lie to its viewers …
And I didn't even use the f-word to him on air even though I was definitely thinking it!
The menswear ("Derek") guy offers some valuable commentary. This one for example.
He first thought I was in the US and was some poor confused person. He then told me to stay out of US conversations. Maybe he was joking? Who knows?
A thread on clothes.

One thing that bothers normies about fashion commentary is that most people instinctively understand clothing is socially constructed. That is why some women feel more comfortable covered while others go topless on a beach.

Men especially often just want to know: what can I wear so nobody notices my clothes at all? To people like those men, detailed judgmental fashion commentary feels like the myopia of a dilettante.

🚨Italian TV has a new report on Paolo Zampolli on Sunday. Zampolli had his mom declared mentally and physically incapable and had her put in an elderly home, away from her house. He took a lot of her money and her jewels. His aunt, his mom’s sister, talks.
Zampolli’s aunt says her sister (Zampolli’s mom) is brilliant, a college professor, and Zampolli relegated her on an elderly home. She specifies Zampolli “only completed mandatory primary education. He was enrolled in a specific southern Italian High School bc he would never have passed at a high school in Milan. Didn’t complete it. Didn’t go to college”. Consider that this utterly ignorant, cruel, amoral man has been given a freaking DIPLOMATIC post by the Trump administration.
Zampolli’s aunt further adds that she always wondered how an only child could do this to his mother, and that the rest of the family fails to understand how, with all they had intellectually and financially, her sister could have had such a son.
Erasmian fans of the reconstructed keep saying ἡμεῖς (we) and ὑμεῖς (you) both sounding like /imis/ proves historical Greek pronunciation is "broken." They're wrong.
The distinction isn't lost — and Plato already documented it 2,400 years ago.

We don't need 16th-century Europeans to tell us how our own vowels work.
Living Greek dialects still preserve the υ sounds the Erasmians claim were "authentic Attic":
Megarian: υ = [u] (back rounded) — κρούσταλλο [krústalo] = crystal
Pontic: υ = [y] (front rounded) — νύφε [nýfe] = bride
Cappadocian: υ = [y] (front rounded) — σκυλιού [scyˈʎy] = of the dog
Standard: υ = [i] — ύπνος [ípnos] = sleep

Megarian: υ = [u] (back rounded) — κρούσταλλο [krústalo] = crystal

Cappadocian: υ = [y] (front rounded) — σκυλιού [scyˈʎy] = of the dog
Standard: υ = [i] — ύπνος [ípnos] = sleep
Even without the pronouns, the verb ending already tells you who is speaking:
ἡμεῖς λέγομεν = we say (-ομεν = 1st plural)
ὑμεῖς λέγετε = you say (-ετε = 2nd plural)
The pronoun is redundant. English uses "you" for singular, plural, formal, and indefinite — with zero verb help — and nobody calls English "defective".

High blood pressure doesn't start with salt and getting old...
It starts with inflammation, insulin resistance and low nitric oxide.
Here are 10 science-backed methods to lower your blood pressure naturally (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Eat more garlic
Garlic contains a compound called allicin which works like a natural ACE inhibitor.
That's the exact same mechanism many blood pressure meds target.
Studies show aged garlic supplements can drop blood pressure by 5-10 points in just weeks.

2. Eat more potassium-rich foods.
Potassium helps your kidneys flush excess sodium and relaxes your blood vessel walls.
The problem?
Most Americans are massively deficient in it.
Add avocados, spinach, sweet potatoes and bananas to your daily meals.

1) Start Early — Don’t Wait for Admission
If you’re planning to travel to any of these countries, start preparing at least 6 months in advance.
If you have a strong 2:2, 2:1, or First Class, your admission chances are already high (around 80–90%).
But admission is not the problem ; Proof of Funds is.

2) Every Deposit Must Have a Clear Source
Immigration officers don’t just look at your balance; they look at how the money got there.
Salary → clear
Business income → clear
Transfers → must be explained
Gifts → must be supported
If you cannot explain it, it becomes a red flag.

1/ How did Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, and Robert De Niro become the voices for a communist celebration: May Day?
Who is behind the May Day protests today, using workers as a Trojan Horse for communism and socialism in America?
I’ve been digging into this for years as you know.
In a new article just published with my @FoxNews Digital colleagues @MizellPreston and @M_Dorgan, we have identified:
🔴 About 600 GROUPS
🔴 With $2 BILLION in combined revenue
🔴 Mobilizing about 3,000 protests nationwide
READ THE ARTICLE HERE: foxnews.com/politics/600-g…
Here is an important takeaway: the protests today represent the rise of a RED-BLUE alliance between far-left socialist groups and Democratic organizations, including the California Democratic Party.
They include:
🔵The Ohio Democratic Party Progressive Caucus
🔵 North Carolina’s Young Democrats of Moore County 🔵Young Democrats of Wisconsin
🔵 Yuba County Democratic Central Committee
They're all on the official list of organizers for a coalition, "May Day Strong," promoted online at maydaystrong.org
🔵 In Ohio, the Licking County Democrats organization is hosting a "May Day Strong" protest at the courthouse in Newark, promoting the national event’s official mantra: "No Work No School No Shopping." The groups didn’t respond to requests for comment.
The new RED-BLUE ALLIANCE isn't spontaneous.
It’s coordinated.
We'll keep showing you how.
We'll be on the ground today. I'm in Washington, D.C., where the Party for Socialism and Liberation, a self-declared communist organization, met inside its “Liberation Center” last night to build signs, prep messaging and drive turnout. Michael, Preston and @LouisCasiano are in Minneapolis, Los Angeles and New York. And we've got eyes on the network nationwide.
What looks like a protest moment is actually an organizing infrastructure.
Organizers are calling it “Workers Over Billionaires,” urging people to skip work, school, and shopping as part of a coordinated action.
But two tycoons have funded key organizers:
🔵 George Soros, a Democratic billionaire
🔴 Neville Roy Singham, an American-born tech tycoon living in Shanghai
Soros has funded a key organizer:
🔵 Indivisible
SIngham pushes the propaganda of the Chinese Communist Party and has funded key leaders of May Day:
🔴 People's Forum
🔴 ANSWER Coalition
🔴 CodePink
🔴 Party for Socialism and Liberation
🔴 BreakThrough News
Then there is also in the mix:
🔴 Democratic Socialists of America
🔴 Communist Party of the USA
🔴 Revolutionary Communist Party
🔴 Maoist Communist Union
🔴 Freedom Road Socialist Organization
And then the unions:
🔵 American Federation of Teachers
🔵 Teamsters
🔵 United Auto Workers
🔵 National Education Association
In total: 600 groups, $2 BILLION in collective revenues
Critics say this goes beyond traditional labor activism.
They argue May Day is being used as a unifying vehicle for a wider political agenda.
Democratic strategist @MelissaDDeRosa told me: “May Day has a proud history of honoring workers, but too many Democratic organizations have allowed that tradition to be hijacked by the activist fringe…”
She added: “The increasing willingness of mainstream Democrats to align with extremist socialist groups is a major factor in why the Democratic Party is losing the center…”
That’s why it’s important to cover this.
Not just the protests—but the network behind them. Thank you to @DataRepublican for her magic helping me connect the dots.
Who’s organizing May Day?
Who’s funding May Day?
How does the messaging spread?
Read our coverage to get the answers.
May Day, right now, is more than a protest supporting workers. I was a union leader at the Wall Street Journal -- yes. Who doesn't want dignity of labor?
May Day is using workers as a Trojan Horse for an ideological mission by groups with key groups that want to destroy free enterprise in America, eliminate military bases, socialize private industry and free prisoners from jails -- yes.
It’s a window into a growing political coalition that’s critics say stoke the rhetoric that is leading to political violence from the left.

A Roman official Petrus leaves Rome for Spain carrying a bundle of papal documents across a dangerous Mediterranean. It sounds like a minor errand. It was anything but.
A thread on a journey from Rome to Visigothic Spain...and the world behind it.🧵
The background of Petrus' mission is one of the great doctrinal struggles of the age: the Monothelite controversy.
For years, the Roman world had argued over how to describe Christ. And whether He had one will or two. This could sound weird to you, but for the people in the 7th century this was a highly political issue. /1

In 680-681 AD, the Sixth Ecumenical Council took place in Constantinople. What was meant to settle the religious issue, ended in a crisis.
The council rejected Monothelitism and affirmed that Christ possessed two wills, divine and human, in harmony. But a council’s decision meant little unless the wider Christian world accepted it. /2

1/ Another way we can fight back against digital ID and the coming digital control grid is to reach out to city and state legislators.
Most people today do not understand the US Constitution. Including state legislators.
The US Constitution created a decentralized power structure. The federal government actually has very limited powers. All other powers are granted to the states and to the people themselves.
And state legislators need to understand this.
