Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, “There is a barely known and acknowledged fact about the American Revolution that could be instructive to learn in this 250th year since the Declaration of Independence.”
1)
In 1776, there were three ethnic groups in the USA that 100% supported independence from England and that dreamed of a new country of freedom and equality that was the theme of the Declaration of Independence.
2)
All other groups, English, Scots, Irish, German, French, were divided, with the wealthy upper class returning to England or moving to Canadian colonies.

I started a Substack. First piece up.

Most chaos is leadership choice. Some is physics. Some is human cruelty. Each demands a different preparation. Confusing them is what kills you, your project, and your supply chain. ↓

Ein Radiomoderator macht nichts falsch – und doch reagieren Menschen mit
▶️ Hass und Rassismus.
Der Sender äußert sich und bezieht Position.
----------
"Soll das jetzt hier ewig so weitergehen, dass uns in der Werbung nur noch farbige Menschen gezeigt werden? Image
Den Einheimischen gegenüber schon ziemlich respektlos", soll es in einem Kommentar geheißen haben.
"Gibt es Radio Hamburg jetzt auch in Afrika?", soll ein anderer Nutzer gefragt haben.
▶️ Auch das N-Wort sei verwendet worden, zudem hätten Nutzer rassistische Bilder hochgeladen.
Programmleiter Niklas Naujok ergänzte: "Alle diesbezüglichen Kommentare haben wir zur Anzeige bei Polizei und Staatsanwaltschaft gebracht.
Als Radio Hamburg Team stehen wir klar an Isaacs Seite und setzen gemeinsam ein Zeichen für Respekt, Zusammenhalt und Menschlichkeit."

1/ Why can't Russia have n̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶s̶ interceptor drones that work, unlike Ukraine? The answer, says one warblogger, is that Russia's military-industrial complex has been captured by big vested interests who've made it into a "gravy train". ⬇️
2/ '¡No Pasaràn!' compares Ukraine's P1-SUN with Russia's Yolka interceptor drone:

"The Ukrainians also made a "Yolka." How is it different from ours?

P1-SUN.
Acceleration up to 450 km/h.
Interception altitude up to 5000 m. Image
3/ "Our Yolka:
Maximum speed 250.
Interception altitude 2000 m.

Not allowed in the rain, not allowed at night, not allowed if facing the sun. If a bird flies between the Yolka and an enemy UAV, the Yolka can lock onto it. It can simply get knocked off course. Image

Roger Froikin @rlefraim wrote, "I wonder if Israelis know which prime minister first called for judicial reform.

I bet you think it was Netanyahu. But if that is your guess, you would be wrong.
1)
The first prime minister to suggest the need for judicial reform was very specific, criticizing how judges for the High Court were chosen as “anti-democratic,” and he emphasized the need to democratize the court system and end the ethnic biases that seem to affect it.
2)
That prime minister was Yitzchak Rabin."

2. White House Account posted "FULL CIRCLE MOMENT" with a photo of Marco Rubio wearing the same identical tracksuit that Maduro wore when he got captured and arrested.

Rubio is the Sec. of State and would the tracksuit imply that the prior SoS (HRC) will get Maduroed?

La ansiedad no es solo mental.

Se almacena en el sistema nervioso, elevando los niveles de cortisol.

Aquí tienes 9 maneras de liberarla (sin medicamentos)

1. Agua fría en la cara. Image
Image
El agua fría en la cara activa el nervio vago. Salpícate la cara con agua fría cuando sientas ansiedad.

Esto activa el nervio vago y desencadena el reflejo de inmersión de los mamíferos, lo que provoca una disminución casi instantánea del ritmo cardíaco.

Es una de las maneras más rápidas de interrumpir un ataque de pánico en pleno apogeo.
2. Ralentiza tu exhalación

Haz que tu exhalación sea más larga que tu inhalación. Este simple cambio te saca del estado de alerta en segundos.

Todo tu sistema se relaja. Tu visión se aclara. Pruébalo ahora mismo.

Everyone knows you should "just meditate" to lower cortisol.

But most people don't know these 8 unconventional yet powerful tips to lower cortisol: 🧵

1. Hum for 60 seconds Image
Image
Humming may look silly.

But slow vocal humming can help shift your body toward a calmer parasympathetic state through breath, vibration, and prolonged exhalation.

Sometimes the nervous system responds faster to physiology than to thought alone.
2. Identify your primal loop.

You're operating from one:

'I'm not enough.'
'I'll be abandoned.'
'I must prove my worth.'

These aren't conscious beliefs — they're nervous system patterns.

Once you see yours, you can interrupt it.

That's where real change begins.

During tawaf in the Mataaf, a child asked his mother:

“Mama, why is the Kaaba black?”

And what she explained was honestly beautiful.
A child asked his mother during tawaf in the Mataaf:

Mama, why is the Kaaba black?

Does Allah like black colour?
Why doesn’t Allah like blue?
I like yellow… does Allah like yellow?
Is black Allah’s favourite colour?

Before she could answer, the child had already reached his own conclusion:
If Allah likes black, then tomorrow we should wear black too… then Allah will love us more.

And she realised, this was not really a question about colour.

He was trying to understand Allah.
So she explained to him gently:

1/ WHY ARE "REPUBLICAN" CAMPAIGNS IN MONTANA BEING SUPPORTED BY DEMOCRAT DARK MONEY?

We recently saw the power of grassroots engagement, supported by President Trump, in knocking off RINOs in Indiana.

In Montana, our RINO problem is even more severe, but it doesn't get reported on because we are far from the national media, and our small state media is completely controlled by the left.

In the last legislative session, without any warning to the voters who elected them, nine GOP State Senators crossed the aisle to hand organizational control of the Senate to the Democrat minority and stymie conservative priorities from budget bills to infrastructure, to critical issues like making judicial elections partisan (Despite overwhelming GOP votes in the state, Democrats have been able to maintain ultimate control through "non-partisan" judges heavily backed by out of state leftist and trial lawyer money.)

Again, this isn't an issue of these "GOP" reps voting with the Dems on this or that issue. They voted with the Dems on PROCEDURAL AND ORGANIZATIONAL matters-- so they were literally playing for the other team while wearing the R as a skinsuit.

Many of these Senators are now trying to get re-elected as Republicans and counting on Democrat dark money to make it happen.

All of this is documented in the linked articles here.

gallatinrepublicans.com/how-dark-money…
2/ I've been fairly critical of the Montana GOP at times, but I will give them credit for moving decisively against these lawmakers, unlike some other state parties who have looked the other way when treacherous reps have undermined fundamental GOP priorities.

The state party completely severed recognition of the nine lawmakers as Republicans, pulled all campaign funding, and revoked their voting rights at party conventions.

The GOP has moved aggressively against these lawmakers, but bolstered by out-of-state money and Democrat campaign expertise, they still have a lot of influence.
gallatinrepublicans.com/fireweed-and-t…
3/ The rot goes beyond the State Senate though. The seventeen "GOP" candidates below were also taking money from people affiliated with Fireweed a "progressive" Montana political consulting firm.

The amounts may seem small, but in a state with districts of 11,000-40,000 people, a little money goes a long wayImage
