Hero:
On this day in 1859, the U.S. government executed John Brown for his failed raid on a federal armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia. For attempting to liberate enslaved people, Brown became the first American to be executed for treason.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. Thatโ€™s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defenseโ€ฆ He runs around on a stage like heโ€™s a 12 year old playing army. Itโ€™s embarrassing.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited โ€œwords & concepts.โ€ I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories Iโ€™m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

Itโ€™s fun to think about the surgeon who will botch your surgery 20 years from now and what heโ€™s doing at this moment. He just ran all his homework through ChatGPT. He just read that article about vaccines and autism at the CDC website. He just watched an Instagram video about the moon landing hoax.

The U.S. Supreme Court was given the wrong numbers. The โ€œunwindโ€ in the event of a negative decision on Tariffs, would be, including investments made, to be made, and return of funds, in excess of 3 Trillion Dollars. It would not be possible to ever make up for that kind of a โ€œdrubbing.โ€ That would truly become an insurmountable National Security Event, and devastating to the future of our Country - Possibly non-sustainable!

Rape Prevention Tips

If someone is drunk or asleep, DON'T RAPE them.

When you see someone walking by themselves. LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Use a BUDDY SYSTEM! If it is difficult for you to stop yourself from raping someone, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times.

Carry a RAPE WHISTLE. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow that whistle until someone comes to stop you.

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. When asking someone out, don't pretend that you are interested in them as a person. Tell them straight up that you expect to be raping the later, If you don't communicate your intentions, they make take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape them.

Japanese scientists find microplastics are present in clouds

Researchers in Japan have confirmed that microplastics are present in clouds, where they are likely affecting the climate in ways that are not yet fully understood.

The team identified nine different types...

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Bidenโ€™s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly โ€œhandedโ€ to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!

Youโ€™re gonna hear a lot of this today. Itโ€™s okay to be freaked out but do not let this stop you from voting! If they relocate you, GO. You have a RIGHT today to cast a vote.

If you need help getting around, ASK. I will help you or try to find someone who can! STAY IN LINE. IT IS YOUR RIGHT.

I dunno why wanting kids to have food is so controversial and radical.

"Kids should eat" isn't a wild outlandish wish.

Weโ€™re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.

No matter what side of the aisle youโ€™re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.

We canโ€™t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

So just saying this again because as a hospice caregiver, i see people take their last breath.

Death is not some magical clearance and speaking truthfully about someone who has died isn't "speaking ill of the dead."

I am not afraid of my words.
