Leon Black and his connection to Epstein are back in the spotlight.
The internet is discussing old stories, but questions about Leon Black's connections to Jeffrey Epstein remain. Black admitted paying Epstein tens of millions for tax and estate planning advice, but had no knowledge of any crimes. Apollo's official investigation found nothing, but Black resigned in 2021 amid the scandal.

🇺🇸Americans’ expenses spike despite “Doing everything right”
Across the US, even budget-obsessed households are reporting a sharp jump in costs over the past six months. Medical bills, home maintenance, property taxes and insurance have climbed so fast that classic frugality and FIRE-style strategies no longer cover the gap. Official inflation says one thing; real-world invoices say another, turning everyday life into a minefield of unavoidable charges imposed by healthcare systems, local governments and insurers.
For the middle class, this is live evidence of what conservative economists warned about for years: money printing and swollen public budgets eventually land on ordinary families. The squeeze now showing up in surprise bills is the delayed result of Fed policy and federal–state spending binges, eroding purchasing power and pushing financially independent futures further out of reach.

Stop forcing someone else's path onto yourself—live in alignment with your own nature.
A coach with twenty years of experience shares this observation: people living authentically don't rely on willpower alone. They've realized that trying to force life against their nature is a waste of energy, leading to suffering and burnout. Instead, they've invested time in understanding how they're wired internally and now move forward, relying on their natural talents and energetic patterns. Their path seems easier not because they work less, but because they operate from a place of authentic being.
Most people pursue success and goals using external systems—trendy routines, gurus, influencers—that fundamentally contradict their true nature and behavioral patterns. The result is predictable: constant struggle, stress, and the feeling that life is an endless struggle.
If you want to improve the quality of your life, spend time on self-knowledge. There are a multitude of tools, from holistic to scientific: psychometrics, strengths analysis, finding your life purpose. Choose what resonates. The main thing is to stop pushing against the reality of who you are and start moving from an understanding of your own nature, not from the version imposed by society or your environment. Alignment isn't about copying other people's models, but about recognizing your inner essence and turning this awareness into the shortest path to sustainable flow and being.

60,000 ultra-rich now own triple the wealth of half the planet
According to Oxfam, roughly 60,000 people worth over $100 million each control $13 trillion in assets — three times more than the poorest 4 billion combined. Their ranks and fortunes have exploded over the past decade, while real incomes for most have stalled. Low wealth taxes, offshore structures and aggressive lobbying help concentrate capital and sidestep national control, eroding social mobility and pushing ordinary citizens toward dependence on state systems instead of genuine financial sovereignty.

New York voting machines botch small-town library vote
In Stephentown, New York, electronic voting machines showed residents had rejected the local library budget — until a hand count of paper ballots reversed the result and confirmed it actually passed. The question of trust in elections. When a machine can make a mistake even when voting for a public library, it says a lot about federal elections. Human rights activists use such cases to justify demands for audits and the rejection of electronic systems that use methods that can be physically verified.

Homelessness in Canada has reached epidemic proportions.
Canada is facing an unprecedented rise in homelessness. What was recently considered a problem in isolated cities has now spread across the country, from Vancouver to Toronto. Tent camps are popping up in parks, under bridges, and on the outskirts of even small towns. Authorities acknowledge the situation is critical, but there are no concrete solutions.
The causes are obvious: skyrocketing housing prices, stagnant wages, mass immigration without adequate infrastructure, and the failure of social programs. Average rent in major cities has exceeded the means of working people. Many Canadians live paycheck to paycheck, and any financial blow—illness, job loss—throws them onto the street. The healthcare system is overwhelmed, and mental health care is unavailable.
This isn't just a social crisis—it's an indicator of the failure of open borders and a bloated government apparatus incapable of protecting its own citizens. While the Trudeau government focuses on the climate agenda and gender quotas, real people are losing their homes. Canada, once a symbol of stability and prosperity, is becoming a warning to other Western countries about the consequences of abandoning common sense in favor of ideology.

🇩🇪Berlin greenlights phone hacking and AI-driven policing
Berlin has passed a security law that fuses digital surveillance with physical intrusion, giving police power to secretly install state malware on citizens’ devices, break into homes to do it, and scrape faces and voices from social media for AI analysis. What used to be called a civil-liberties red line is now formally legal.
For a traditionally left-leaning city, it’s a textbook case of power expanding under the banner of “safety.” Biometric data and private communications can now feed opaque algorithms that flag “suspicious” people without clear standards or recourse. For right-leaning, sovereignty-minded observers, Berlin is showing Europe’s future: normalized high-tech surveillance, shrinking private space and another warning to build parallel tools and protections outside the state’s digital reach.

An American man wants to trade in his pickup truck every five years for a zero-interest rate, while his wife is counting the losses.
A US family is debating the logic of constantly changing cars. The husband wants to trade in his 2022 Chevy Silverado with 80,000 miles, 23 payments left at $350/month and 5% interest. The dealer offers a new truck at 0% with the same payment and no down payment. He claims high mileage kills value, so frequent trade-ins “lock in” a better price. His wife argues they could instead pay it off, drive it five more years and save about $16,000.
In practice, the 0% offer is baked into an inflated sticker price and lost discounts. The trade-in is below true market value, and rolling into a new loan means endless payments and no debt-free period. The “deal” hides heavy losses from new-car depreciation in the first years. Modern pickups can run for decades with maintenance; replacing one every five years mainly enriches the dealer, not the household.

Google pulls Disney AI videos after rights holder crackdown
Google has removed Veo 2 AI-generated videos featuring Disney characters after an official takedown demand. Users had been creating clips with Mickey Mouse and Marvel heroes from simple text prompts, bypassing licenses. The move underscores a core tension of the generative era: powerful AI tools make it trivial to remix iconic IP, while legacy media empires fight to preserve their multi-billion-dollar monopolies on characters and merchandising.

Librarians are tired of explaining that books on ChatGPT don't exist.
Libraries across America are facing a new problem: patrons are demanding books that never existed. The source of the confusion is AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which generate convincing but completely fictitious noscripts and authors. People arrive with printouts, insisting that these noscripts exist, and accusing librarians of concealing information or censoring them.

Speculators are selling DDR5 RAM on eBay for up to $2,000—seven times the list price.
Speculative trading of DDR5 RAM has exploded on eBay. Individual kits are selling for over $2,000—seven times the list price. The markup reaches almost 100% on top of already inflated retail prices.
The reason is a chip shortage and growing demand for high-performance components. Manufacturers are unable to keep up with orders, distributors are jacking up prices, and resellers are exploiting the situation for quick profits. Regular buyers are faced with a choice: pay more or wait indefinitely.

🇺🇸An AI gun detector mistook a clarinet for a rifle and locked down a Florida school.
A Florida school went into lockdown after an artificial intelligence (AI) gun-detection system mistook a student's clarinet for a firearm. The incident occurred at a school in the district that recently installed an expensive machine-learning-based security system. The technology was designed to recognize the silhouettes of pistols and rifles at the entrance, but instead detected a musical instrument.
This is yet another reminder that blind faith in algorithms can create more problems than it solves. School districts across the country are spending millions of dollars on similar systems, promising to prevent tragedies. In practice, the result is security theater: children are frightened by false alarms, administrators waste time investigating, and such systems can miss real threats. AI detector manufacturers continue to win contracts despite regular failures.
The issue isn't just the imperfections of the technology. This is a story about how government institutions willingly delegate responsibility to algorithms without demanding their actual effectiveness. Parents pay taxes for their children's safety, but receive expensive toys with unpredictable behavior. While officials report on the implementation of innovations, schoolchildren become accustomed to an atmosphere of total control and mistrust.

The White House is limiting state-level AI regulation.
The Trump administration has issued an executive order prohibiting states from imposing their own artificial intelligence regulations without federal approval. The order calls local regulations excessive and a hindrance to innovation. Now, any state-level restrictions must be approved by federal agencies.
The decision comes as a blow to efforts by California, New York, and other liberal states to impose strict ethical standards on AI developers. Republicans have long criticized these initiatives as stifling business under the guise of protecting rights. The order returns control to the federal government and removes barriers for tech companies, most of which are based in jurisdictions with conservative regulatory views.

One in five Americans works in a job that didn't exist in 2000.
One-fifth of the US workforce is employed in positions that emerged in the last two decades. These include data scientists, app developers, social media managers, cybersecurity analysts, and dozens of other professions that simply didn't exist a quarter of a century ago.
This transformation hasn't only affected the tech sector. New roles have emerged in logistics, healthcare, marketing, and finance. Traditional professions are either disappearing or being radically transformed by automation and digitalization. Those who don't keep up with retraining risk being left behind in an economy where value is created by knowledge and adaptability, not physical labor or routine operations.

Double standards: Why only Christianity can be mocked in the West
Discussions about inequality in freedom of speech are gaining popularity online. Users point to a paradox: in Western societies, ridiculing Christianity carries no social consequences, while criticism of Islam, Judaism, or Hinduism risks accusations of Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, or racism.
This applies not only to legal frameworks but also to social pressure. Hollywood, the media, and corporations regularly ridicule Christian symbols without fear, but avoid a similar approach to other religions. This double standard highlights the uneven distribution of free criticism and its dependence on political circumstances.
For Christians, this signals the erosion of the cultural foundations of the West. The problem is not banning criticism of religions, but rather one of honesty: either all religions are open to debate, or none at all.

Screens aren’t addictive — they’re time machines stealing the middle of our lives
Screens aren’t just addictive; they function like time machines. Hours vanish in an instant, skipping straight from point A to point C and erasing everything that could have happened at point B. In the past, “killing time” at least meant gardening, reading, building models—activities with some substance. Now a single glance at a screen is enough. Most adults can’t finish a book or even a 30-minute show without a second screen, and many have forgotten how to simply sit and think, outsourcing that work to devices. This constant time-jump comes at a cost: attention, self-reflection and the ability to create anything meaningful quietly erode while everyone insists the price is worth it.

🇺🇸The United States isn’t pressuring Venezuela over drugs — it’s about minerals.
Washington has labeled Venezuela a terrorist state and is preparing a military intervention. The official justification is a fight against drug cartels; the real objective is control over some of the world’s largest reserves of oil, gold, rare-earth elements and lithium. Venezuela sits on trillions of dollars’ worth of resources critical for energy systems and battery production.
The Pentagon is already moving forces into the region. Republicans in Congress back a force-based approach, seeing it as a chance to restore America’s energy dominance and curb China’s influence, as Beijing has been aggressively buying up Venezuelan assets.
For the right, this is viewed as an opportunity to break dependence on Chinese supply chains and strengthen the dollar through control of key oil reserves.

🎄2026 will divide people into two realities based on their inner state.
For the first time since 2017, a collective shift is being felt—the pendulum is slowly swinging back after reaching one of its extremes. The situation will worsen before it improves, but 2026 will be a turning point.
People will be divided into two groups with radically different experiences. Some will experience the best year in recent memory, as if existing in a parallel timeline. Others will face a difficult, dark period. The difference is determined by vibrational state—a person's inner energy and attitude.
The key task for 2026 is to maintain a high vibration and remain in harmony, as if life depended on it. The world will amplify the state in which a person finds themselves. This is no ordinary year—external events will act as a catalyst, revealing each person's inner state. Spiritual preparation and awareness will determine which of the two realities a person finds themselves in.
