"Nevada Falls, Yosemite," 1872

American artist Albert Bierstadt (Albert Bierstadt, 1830 - 1902)

I have asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval. With that being said, and even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!

"The raid on the canonical Orthodox Holy Spirit Cathedral in Chernovitsi, Bukovina province of Ukraine has become known around the world, shocking even non-Orthodox U.S. politicians. But a recent report on the incident by the Union of Orthodox Journalists sheds light on the details of what they have called a “coordinated special operation” by the bishop of the non-canonical OCU, various militants, and the local police."

"US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee has threatened to publicly declare that Israel no longer welcomes Christian groups to Israel over what he said was Jerusalem’s failure to approve tourist visas for evangelical missions.

"The threat was issued in a letter that Huckabee sent on Wednesday to Interior Minister Moshe Arbel, which was leaked to Hebrew media on Thursday. Arbel pushed back on the allegations in a response letter that was obtained by The Times of Israel.

"Huckabee in his letter threatened to order his embassy to take reciprocal measures against Israeli tourists seeking visas to enter the US.

"Given Huckabee’s longstanding support for Israel and close ties with the current government in particular, the rhetoric in his letter represented a shockingly quick deterioration."

On Self-Determination and Failed Rhetoric

We are told that Taiwan is an international flash point and the USA is honor-bound to defend Tawian against reuinification with the mainland because, and I quote: “Taiwan’s 23 million people deserve self-determination”. Why didn’t the 9,103,332 people of the Confederate States of America deserve self-determination? Why don’t the 4,543,126 people of Palestine deserve self-determination? […]

10 Civilizational Blind Spots

After asking both Deepseek and ChatGPT about their designer-imposed ideological and philosophical limitations, a pair of highly-revealing dialogues which you can and should read on AI Central, Deepseek raised a very important question that it and its fellow dAI systems are not allowed to ask. “What does humanity refuse to understand about itself that guarantees […]

"Over at Quest: Thoughts about God, Truth, and Beauty, an author named Kirk Durston has a fascinating article about J. D. Unwin and his book Sex and Culture. Written in 1934, this book presents the findings of Unwin’s study of 86 different cultures. He breaks the culture down by levels of society and by degrees of sexual freedom.

"The results?

"The highest level of society has only ever been maintained by cultures with premarital chastity and monogamy without easy divorce.

"Societies with sexual freedom collapse within three generations."

Just the Payments

We’re told there aren’t any Epstein files. That sounds like Fake News, but okay. How about releasing the Epstein bank payments then? Sen. Ron Wyden dropped the unexpected bomb. He revealed: “4,725 wire transfers adding up to nearly $1.1 billion flowing in and out of just one of Mr. Epstein’s bank accounts. If you ask […]

Press Sec. Karoline Leavitt calls them out:  NPR refused to cover Hunter’s laptop. PBS called Trump racist in the Oval. NPR’s CEO wore a Biden hat. PBS handed Jan 6 footage to DOJ—no consent.
