This young college kid was just kiIIed by an illegal alien in your state Why are you protecting his kiIIer??
ICE is terrorizing our communities—now slashing tires of a Portland resident who attempted to shine a light on their abusive behavior. Amid ICE's unlawfulness, the right to bear witness has never been more important to hold our government accountable aclu.org/press-releases/aclu…

Where is the money going? My property taxes say 42% is going towards the schools. The CT Lottery says all funds go to the schools. Where is the actual money going?
I JUST GOT ASKED TO BUY SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR A CLASSROOM THAT’S ALREADY FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS. The teacher’s wishlist included pencils, paper, tissues, and markers. Nothing fancy. Just basic things kids need to learn. Parents pay property taxes, sales taxes, and income taxes, then get another list asking them to reach into their pockets so the classroom can function. And if they can’t afford to help, their kids still need those supplies. HOW ARE WE FUNDING PUBLIC EDUCATION WITH BILLIONS OF TAX DOLLARS, YET TEACHERS STILL HAVE TO ASK PARENTS TO BUY PENCILS? Seriously. Where is the money going?

No Kings explained for people who think they're fighting fascism. You're standing in a crowd on Saturday. You look around and think yeah. No Kings. This is what democracy looks like. Bro. You're holding a sign made by a communist billionaire who lives in Shanghai. You live in a constitutional republic. Elections. Term limits. A free press that spent four years calling the president a fascist without one journalist being arrested. The modern left's definition of fascism: You love your country? Fascist. You want to enforce the border? Racist. You think parents should raise their kids? Bigot. You want to know who's voting in your elections? Jim Crow. Being patriotic is fascism to the modern left. But every country has borders and enforces them. 176 countries require ID to vote. That's the definition of a country. But the Democratic establishment told you otherwise. And you believed them. Congress has a 15% approval rating. 80% of Americans disapprove. 97% of incumbents got re-elected. Chuck Schumer. 46 years. Longer than Stalin. Steny Hoyer. 45 years. Longer than Mao. Mitch McConnell. 42 years. 5x more than Napoleon. Nancy Pelosi. 39 years. Longer than Henry VIII. Maxine Waters. 35 years. Longer than Mussolini. Bernie Sanders. 35 years. Triple Hitler's entire reign. Trump. 5 years and 3 months. Won the popular vote and the electoral vote. But Trump is the king. Okay buddy. You don't hate kings. You hate kings that aren't yours. And they have you in the streets carrying their water. The Democratic Party installed a president without letting you vote. Biden quit on a Sunday. By Tuesday your queen was crowned. No primary. No debate. No ballot. First time since 1968. Three days before your march every Senate Democrat voted against photo ID to vote. During COVID you carried a vaccine card everywhere like a hall pass from the government just to eat at a restaurant. But getting a birth certificate or waiting two hours at the DMV to prove you're a citizen before you vote? That's oppression. The Democratic Party is pro illegal immigration. Counts non-citizens in the Census. Census determines congressional seats. More non-citizens means more seats means more power. No voter ID means no way to check. That's how you keep power without wearing a crown. Biden built a censorship machine. Pressured Facebook to suppress true information and admitted it in writing. Censored scientists. Censored doctors. Censored JOKES. The Biden White House told Facebook to remove "humor and satire." They literally went after people for making fun of them. UK does it better tho... Everything they censored turned out to be right. They just outsourced the silencing to Silicon Valley. And it doesn't stop at speech. The extreme left justifies taking children from families. Six thousand schools rewrite children's identities without telling parents. And the State has the right to intervene. The Hitler Youth did this. Mao's Red Guards did this. The Soviets built statues of a child who reported his own father. Same playbook. During Covid, your bakery got shut down. Church closed. You couldn't hold your dying mother's hand at the hospital. But thousands packed together during BLM to burn Minneapolis and THAT was essential civic engagement. Obviously. $2 billion in damage. 25 dead. 2,000 cops injured. 20 states burning. VP Kamala promoted a bail fund for the rioters. No investigation. No hearings. January 6. One building. Few hours. 1,000 prosecuted. Two years of televised hearings. Kings decide which violence counts. The left decided. Charlie Kirk spent his life walking onto campuses asking for honest debate. He was assassinated. CSIS terrorism database. 2025 is the first year in 30 years that left-wing attacks outnumber right-wing. Yet no one brings this up. 75% of liberal students say preventing a speaker from talking is justified. 27% say violence is acceptable. Liberals who went to Trump rallies: "I never felt unsafe." "The experience changed me." They say. Conservatives who show up on liberal campuses get screamed at, blocked, and assassinated. One side talks. The other side screams. The Party for Socialism and Liberation marched Their stated purpose in their own words: "Revolution." Not reform. But Marxism. 500 groups. $3 billion in revenue. Pre-printed signs. The signs were ready before you were even angry. AND its all coming again .... if the left gain any power. VOTE RED RED RED on November 3rd

I am speechless. Thomas Aquinas College just dropped a study on the rigor of the new SAT. It compares the 1980/87 test with 2026. The findings should terrify every parent and teacher... Vocabulary has collapsed. Old SAT: 70.6% of questions tested vocab. New SAT: 15%. The old test forced students to know a wide range of words through analogies, antonyms, and sentence completions. The new test abandoned that. Most vocab questions now just ask students to fill in one blank from context. Reading passages also got radically shorter (average ~97 words vs 300–340). The new test uses short expository passages and hands you the necessary background knowledge inside the text. The older tests leaned much more heavily on argumentative and persuasive writing, assumed far more historical, scientific, and cultural knowledge, and penalized students who lacked it. This is a redefinition of what "college readiness" means. If you believe that kids should develop rigorous vocabulary, be capable of sustained reading, and possess background knowledge, I have bad news for you. The SAT no longer measures these. If you want a future where children can actually read difficult texts and construct complex arguments, the SAT must be replaced now. This cannot go on.
We were concerned that the SAT has become a less reliable measure of student preparedness for a rigorous college curriculum. So, we commissioned a study from Johns Hopkins University. What does this study tell us about the state of higher education? The results are shocking. thaq.co/4iLThZ0

BREASTMILK She thought she was studying milk. What she uncovered was a conversation. In 2008, evolutionary anthropologist Katie Hinde was working in a primate research lab in California, analyzing breast milk from rhesus macaque mothers. She had hundreds of samples and thousands of data points. Everything looked ordinary—until one pattern refused to go away. Mothers raising sons produced milk richer in fat and protein. Mothers raising daughters produced a larger volume with different nutrient balances. It was consistent. Repeatable. And deeply uncomfortable for the scientific consensus. Colleagues suggested error. Noise. Statistical coincidence. But Katie trusted the data. And the data pointed to a radical idea. Milk is not just nutrition. It is information. For decades, biology treated breast milk as simple fuel. Calories in. Growth out. But if milk were only calories, why would it change depending on the sex of the baby? Katie kept digging. Across more than 250 mothers and over 700 sampling events, the story grew more complex. Younger, first-time mothers produced milk with fewer calories but significantly higher levels of cortisol—the stress hormone. The babies who drank it grew faster. They were also more alert, more cautious, more anxious. Milk wasn’t just building bodies. It was shaping behavior. Then came the discovery that changed everything. When a baby nurses, microscopic amounts of saliva flow back into the breast. That saliva carries biological signals about the infant’s immune system. If the baby is getting sick, the mother’s body detects it. Within hours, the milk changes. White blood cells surge. Macrophages multiply. Targeted antibodies appear. When the baby recovers, the milk returns to baseline. This was not coincidence. It was call and response. A biological dialogue refined over millions of years. Invisible—until someone thought to listen. As Katie reviewed existing research, she noticed something unsettling. There were twice as many scientific studies on erectile dysfunction as on breast milk composition. The first food every human consumes. The substance that shaped our species. Largely ignored. So she did something bold. She launched a blog with a deliberately provocative name: Mammals Suck Milk. It exploded. Over a million readers in its first year. Parents. Doctors. Scientists. People asking questions research had skipped. The discoveries kept coming. Milk changes by time of day. Foremilk differs from hindmilk. Human milk contains over 200 oligosaccharides babies can’t digest—because they exist to feed beneficial gut bacteria. Every mother’s milk is biologically unique. In 2017, Katie brought this work to a TED stage. In 2020, it reached a global audience through Netflix’s Babies. Today, at Arizona State University’s Comparative Lactation Lab, she continues reshaping how medicine understands infant development, neonatal care, formula design, and public health. The implications are staggering. Milk has been evolving for more than 200 million years—longer than dinosaurs walked the Earth. What we once dismissed as simple nourishment is one of the most sophisticated communication systems biology has ever produced. Katie Hinde didn’t just study milk. She revealed that nourishment is intelligence. A living, responsive system shaping who we become before we ever speak. All because one scientist refused to accept that half the story was “measurement error.” Sometimes the biggest revolutions begin by listening to what everyone else ignores.

We did not apply for a ballot or deposit a ballot or attempt to vote. We showed an elections official saying “you are the ID” and confirming one could vouch for eight others who were not there. If that’s a crime, anyone who speaks with a polling official and asks questions is also committing a crime. Journalism is not a crime.
Minnesota law clearly states that no individual shall intentionally misrepresent the individual’s identity in applying for a ballot, depositing a ballot in a ballot box or attempting to vote by means of a voting machine or electronic voting system. youtube.com/watch?v=c_oqgTcY…

They broke no laws. They did not cast votes. What did they prove? That you can wear a disguise and vote. And not only that, you can "vouch" for others so they can vote. Anyone can be behind a burka. Taking them "at their word" and letting them "vouch" is just codeword for CHEATING. We need ID and visual confirmation the person under the veil matches the ID. Unless and until we have that - all you Dems do is use this to CHEAT.

MN Secretary of State Steve Simon on charging me with a felony. Mr. Simon, every time someone has sued or tried to arrest me, it has backfired. Because of 1st amendment fundamentals. The process will not be my punishment. I wiIl have fun with the process, exposing injustice.
Today’s charges send a message to those who would disrupt our elections through deceit at polling places: It’s your constitutional right to make any political point you want, but don’t break our laws to do it.

Joe Rogan is horrified as Steve Hilton reveals where the 330,000 migrant kids Biden lost actually ended up. ROGAN: “Holy f*ck!” HILTON: “The way Bobby puts it is that Becerra turned HHS into the largest child trafficking operation in history.” A caseworker told Hilton they were ordered to ignore obviously fake IDs and get the kids out the door as fast as possible. Their directive was “Speed over safety.” If something happens to the kids, so be it. One girl was put on a plane, handed off to three strange men, and forced to work 20 hours a day. ROGAN: “Oh my God, it’s shocking. That’s so evil.” The kids were given a hotline to call if they were in danger. The problem was getting anyone to answer. HILTON: “There were 65,000 unanswered calls to the hotline.” And the people who flagged it? “FIRED.” ROGAN: “It doesn’t even seem like it could be real.” When Bobby Kennedy Jr. previously described what happened to these kids, he called it a “huge, huge tragedy.” KENNEDY: “One guy pretended to be the parent of 42 children. We have no idea what happened to those kids.” “There was about 60 kids who were sent to one address. When we looked at that address, it was a container, a steel container in the middle of a parking lot.” “A lot of them were sent to work at slaughterhouses and picking fruits in the fields. They were slaves.” “It’s a huge, huge tragedy. My agency [under Biden] was the single biggest child trafficker in the world.” And now Xavier Becerra, the man who presided over all of it, wants to be governor of California. Steve Hilton is running against him.

They are undercover journalists. They didn't vote, but they exposed voter fraud affecting not only Minnesota but all of America. Why isn't CNN looking into that? They didn't require any ID, and people could vouch for up to eight others without ID. Make it make sense. It's criminal.

FIXED IT: Journalists charged after uncovering election fraud in Minnesota "unlawful voting" They did not even obtain a ballot let alone vote. "claimed other voters' identities" They did not actually claim to be the person, nor did they sign any affidavit. You're going to get SUED!
