Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "ANOTHER BIG LIE - AND UNFORTUNATE STUPIDITY

We are hearing from the Media about all the people who oppose Trump’s attacks on Iran, complaints from the Democratic Party left claiming falsely that Trump violated the law, and
1)
from the MAGA right that this is not America First and we should take care of things at home first.

Both, of course, ignoring the fact that Iran’s Islamic Regime continually threatens the USA and Israel and its neighbors,
2)
that the Islamic Regime has killed 32,000 of its own citizens just last month to stop dissent.

And that this Islamic Regime has killed more than 1200 Americans, without a response from the USA, that it sponsors terrorism in Europe and the USA,

THE NANOPARTICLE REVOLUTION: Re-educating the Blood-Brain Barrier.

New research from a Spanish and Chinese consortium has unveiled a "supramolecular drug" capable of repairing the BBB's natural waste-disposal system to treat Alzheimer’s.

A thread on the future of AD therapy. Image
1/ The Problem: In Alzheimer’s, the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) stops working as a filter and starts acting as a wall.

Toxic proteins like Aβ build up because the brain's natural "trash shoot" is broken.

The Solution: Activating the endogenous efflux pump. Image
2/ This breakthrough is a global effort. By combining material synthesis expertise from China with biological validation from Spain, researchers created a nanoparticle that doesn't just deliver drugs—it heals the barrier itself. Image

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just blocked California’s secret gender-transition policy for kids in public schools. The policy required public schools to help students transition to a different gender while hiding the transition from parents. Today’s decision lifted a Ninth Circuit order that had allowed the policy to go forward.
Becket filed a friend-of-the-court brief in support of parents fighting California’s policy, urging the Court to recognize the right of parents to raise and educate their children according to their faith—a principle the Court recently upheld in Becket’s landmark victory in Mahmoud v. Taylor. becketnewsite.s3.amazonaws.com/20260120151554…
In its per curiam their decision, the Supreme Court relied on Mahmoud, noting that “the intrusion on parents’ free exercise rights here—unconsented facilitation of a child’s gender transition—is greater than the introduction of LGBTQ storybooks we considered sufficient to trigger strict scrutiny in Mahmoud.” becketnewsite.s3.amazonaws.com/20260302180556…The parents who assert a free exercise claim have sincere religious beliefs about sex and gender, and they feel a religious obligation to raise their children in accordance with those beliefs. California’s policies violate those beliefs and “impos[e] the kind of burden on religious exercise that Yoder found unacceptable.”
Alt text 3: California’s policies will likely not survive the strict scrutiny that Mahmoud demands. The State argues that its policies advance a compelling interest in student safety and privacy. But those policies cut out the primary protectors of children’s best interests: their parents.

Autistic precision. People keep asking for examples of autistic needs. Here you go. Here's a really good example of an autistic need that most people don't understand.

Our brains don't just WANT precision. We NEED it.
When things are imprecise, it shakes our internal coherence. It gives us anxiety. Overwhelming anxiety a lot of the time. And it paralyzes us mentally.
We don't correct because we want to annoy people. We correct things that our nervous systems interpret as a threat. Because we rely on our internal coherence for survival.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and inspiration, John Hammond, Jr. From the first time I heard him on the first blues album I bought, Blues at Newport ‘63 on Vanguard Records, I was just knocked out and have felt that way about him ever since.

He was the inspiration for teaching myself blues guitar and learning how to sing these songs we loved so much. He made it cool and all right.

Not only was he a virtuoso on guitar, harp, singing and choosing songs, to me it felt like he was totally possessed by the blues.

(2/5)
I’ve never witnessed anyone as swept up and away as John playing his music live.

I’m so grateful for our many years of friendship, being able to hang with so many blues greats, and best of all, that in his wife Marla, he found such a fun and abiding soulmate.

In March 2025, Trump carried out a premeditated attack on the Al Rasool Al-Azam Oncology Hospital in Saada, Yemen, turning it into rubble. At least two people were killed and 13 more injured.

This was not an isolated incident. Eight days previously, on March 16, Washington launched 13 separate airstrikes against the building, systematically destroying the hospital’s five blocks.

The Anti-Cancer Fund, a local government medical organization, described the events as a clear “war crime.”Image

Syria 🇸🇾 In 2017, on Trump's orders, US forces repeatedly bombed the National Hospital in Raqqa, carrying out 20 separate attacks against the building, including using white phosphorous munitions.

A highly controversial and widely-banned weapon, white phosphorous instantly ignites upon contact with oxygen, sticks to clothes and skin, and burns at an extremely high temperature. It cannot be extinguished by water, leaving those affected to suffer excruciating – and deadly – injuries.

At least 30 civilians were killed, some likely due to the effects of the white phosphorous, which causes respiratory damage and organ failure.Image

Here's what no one will tell you about picking the right sales industry:

The difference between a $120k rep and a $400k rep is almost never talent.

I've watched average reps get rich selling in the right sector and watched Chads stay broke in the wrong one:
When I first started coaching, I assumed my best clients were the ones with the sharpest interview skills.

Wrong.

My best outcomes? The $200k+ placements. The ones who hit President's Club out of the gate.

They all had one thing in common:

They picked the right industry before they started interviewing.

The industry you sell in determines your ceiling.

Everything else is negligible below that ceiling.
Most reps choose companies the way they choose restaurants.

🤡: "I've heard of Salesforce. They seem cool. Let me apply."

That's brand recognition doing your thinking for you.

🐲 reps reverse-engineer the decision.

They ask: where is the money flowing right now, and which industries are positioned so that even a mid-tier rep clears six figures?

The world today, more than ever, needs a

Catholic🇻🇦– Orthodox 🇷🇺 – Shia 🇮🇷 alliance

Against the

Judeo 🇮🇱 – Protestant 🇺🇸 – Salafi 🇸🇦 cabal

🧵⬇️ Image
From @armesillaconde latest Substack:

“Just as the so-called Abraham Accords are unifying Zionist Jews, Protestant Evangelical Christians, and Salafist Sunni Muslims—who share an absolute contempt for the body, iconoclasm, a disregard for women, and a total lack of hierarchy and tradition—it is urgent and necessary to seek a rapprochement between Catholic Christians, Orthodox Christians, and Shia Muslims.

This is in pursuit of defending communal ideas, respect for the body, consideration for women, and the fight against an eschatological and criminal Zionism. Never before has solidarity among these three faiths been so necessary against third parties—the axis of the so-called Abraham Accords—which seek to eradicate Christians from West Asia, establish Greater Israel, and destroy any resistance to the Anglo-Zionist-Wahhabi axis, which is the international financial oligarchy in religious terms.

Despite deep doctrinal differences, Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Shia Islam share fundamental elements based on their Abrahamic monotheistic origin, the importance of tradition, and certain aspects of veneration and ethics.

⬇️
Key Commonalities:

1. Monotheism and Faith in God

All three traditions worship a single deity, the creator of the Universe, though they name Him differently (God as the Holy Trinity in Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, Allah in Shia Islam). The three faiths share the belief that God created human beings, made covenants with the prophets, and sent instructions and warnings to humanity. However, for Catholics and Orthodox, Jesus is not a prophet, but God Himself incarnate.

2. Veneration of Mary (Maryam) and Jesus (Isa)

The Virgin Mary is a sacred figure in all three beliefs. In Shia Islam, she is considered the purest and most pious of women, frequently mentioned in the Quran (she even has a Surah, or chapter, named after her), being the only woman named in the holy book. For Catholics and Orthodox, she is the purest goodness, chosen by God to be incarnated as the Son, as Jesus, to save humanity through His sacrifice. The centrality of the Virgin Mary in Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, and Shiasm was noted by @AliciaMelchorHe in a recent Facebook post, which can be read here: facebook.com/alicia.melchor
Shia Muslims and Catholic/Orthodox Christians believe that Jesus is the Messiah. Furthermore, Islam considers Jesus a high-ranking prophet, born of a virgin (Mary), respecting his miraculous figure. For Catholics and Orthodox, Jesus is God incarnate as the Son, who died and rose again, ascended to Heaven with the Father, and descended as the Holy Spirit to Earth so that the Apostles could preach to all men.
Both Catholic and Orthodox Christianity and Shia Islam believe in the Second Coming of Jesus to Earth in the end times to restore justice, although the details differ across the three faiths.

3. Prophets and Scriptures

The three traditions recognize Abraham as a central patriarchal prophet. They also share a veneration for biblical prophets such as Noah, Moses, David, and John the Baptist.

4. Eschatology and the Afterlife

The three traditions teach that earthly life ends and will be followed by a day of judgment, where the souls of men will give an account of their actions and beliefs. They also share the notion of an afterlife with reward (paradise) or punishment (hell).

5. Structure, Tradition, and Spirituality

Catholics and Orthodox share the importance of Ecclesiastical Tradition alongside Scripture—centralized in the Roman Catholic Apostolic Church and decentralized among the various Orthodox patriarchates. Shia Islam also places immense weight on tradition and the sayings of the (infallible) Imams to interpret the Quran. They also have a hierarchically organized clergy, unlike Sunni Islam. Catholics and Orthodox venerate saints. In Shia Islam, there is a similar veneration toward the Imams (descendants of the Prophet), believing they possess a gift of divine intercession. This does not occur in Sunni Islam.
