“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”

The pathology of a pathological liar is easy on this one; Trump will do anything to take attention away from the Epstein files and the information accusing Trump of raping a 13-year-old child.

The link below is the civil part of the case; look at it. It is clear.

🇺🇸 Iran war is now being openly tied to the Epstein files.

This isn’t just escalation — it’s being framed as an “evidence retrieval” mission.

If military force is being used under that pretext, we are in unprecedented territory.

War as leverage.
War as cover.
War as control.

Republican oligarchs are very honest now: instead telling Americans "Eating cake!", they are telling "Eating liver!"

NASHVILLE — ICE shatter a car window in front of a newborn, refuse to look at man’s license & work visa… drag him out of his car, hit him, mock him for being Guatemalan (he’s from Mexico), laugh when he begs to say goodbye.
