Ok y’all I know I’ve put some Irish folk songs out here lately, but this might be the best one yet

Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood.

“All of the Communist Parties, upon attaining power, have become completely merciless. But at the stage before they achieve power, it is necessary to use disguises.”

What we have is a cluster B psychopathology problem among white progressive females that tracks almost perfectly with communist violence. Jennifer Welch is a raging case of cluster B psychopathology. Hence the anger, antagonism, petulance.

John Wesley Powell lost his right arm to a bullet at the Battle of Shiloh in 1862. The surgeons amputated it below the elbow. He went back to the war anyway and fought at Vicksburg.
Seven years later, he decided to do something nobody had ever done: take boats down the Green and Colorado Rivers, straight through the Grand Canyon. At the time, that stretch was literally a blank spot on the map. Some people believed the river disappeared underground or plunged over giant waterfalls.
In May 1869, Powell set off from Wyoming with nine men and four wooden boats. Most of them had zero whitewater experience.
Two weeks in, one of the boats smashed apart on the rocks and took a huge chunk of their food and gear with it. They named the spot Disaster Falls. One man had seen enough and walked out a few weeks later.
At one point Powell was scaling a cliff and got stuck on a ledge, hanging on with his only hand, unable to go up or down. One of his men climbed above him, took off his long underwear, and lowered it down so Powell could grab on and be pulled to safety.
By August they were deep inside the Grand Canyon. The flour was moldy. They were living on bad bread, dried apples, and coffee. Their clothes were rags. The rapids kept getting worse, and nobody knew how much canyon was left.
Then they reached a rapid so violent that three men said they were done. They would climb out of the canyon and walk to the nearest settlement instead. Powell couldn't talk them out of it. The two groups shook hands, the three men took a rifle and some letters to mail home, and climbed up the canyon wall.
Powell and the others ran the rapid and made it through. The very next day, they floated out of the Grand Canyon.
The three men who climbed out were never seen again.
Powell went on to run the U.S. Geological Survey and spent years warning Congress that the West didn't have enough water to support the kind of growth everyone was planning. They ignored him.
Today the second largest reservoir in the country is named after him. Lake Powell. A man who warned about water shortages, now best known for a lake that's been shrinking for decades.

The Australian government has admitted pressuring Facebook into demonetising us, due to an article written by far-left activist journalists at the ABC.
So much for freedom of the press.
And not only is the Australian government interfering with independent journalism, it is also giving the corporate media millions in grants, and forcing the tech companies to give those same billion-dollar companies tens of millions more.
The demonetisation happened in August, and weren't going to mention it and give the ABC reporters the satisfaction, but now that the government is confirmed to be involved we are compelled to speak out about it.
Australians should know that their government is suppressing media outlets they don't like, and buying off the rest.

If America had built 1,000 nuclear reactors by 2000 and continued expanding, nuclear power would supply ~90% of our electricity today, even with dramatically higher demand from electrification.
We wouldn’t just have cheaper, abundant electricity. We’d have an entirely different industrial economy. Never forget what they stole from you.
Ralph Nader, 1997: “When we came out against nuclear power in the early '70s, the government had predicted that there would be 1,000 nuclear plants by the year 2000 in the United States, and there's 109 and shrinking, as more and more get shut down.” pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline…

Parasite Deep Staters out here planning a literal coup d'etat 🤯
It’s not every day you stumble across a recording in which U.S. citizens discuss plans to declare the federal government illegitimate.
Here’s one particularly alarming excerpt:
“If the federal government’s deemed to be illegitimate … then the governors become the leading governing authority under the current republic framework of our Constitution.”
And then there’s this one:
“I really want to emphasize this is not a concept for a secession. No one is talking about leaving the United States.”
Of course they’re not “talking about leaving the United States”; they’re talking about a planned transfer of governing authority outside the constitutional process—replacing the authority of the federal government with governors and outside networks.
I hope this turns out to be a deep fake or a bad practical joke—because if it’s real, it’s unbelievably frightening.
Either way, it’s a good reminder to vote carefully in November.

Credit Default Swaps for Oracle, Broadcom, and Nvidia continue to widen out, with Oracle at a 23% default probability, Nvidia at about 8%, and Broadcom at 12%. Which is pretty amazing, given these are among the largest companies in the world.

WE AUDITED ALL 58 FOREIGN-BORN FEDERAL JUDGES SITTING ON AMERICA'S BENCH FOR LIFE.
I spent over a billion tokens and about 45 days on this deep dive.
Through this deep dive and the over a million court cases we have combed through, we have launched an American First Index (AFI) for the site. (More on it as we improve the metrics and refine deeper.)
Out of 58 sitting foreign-born Article III judges, 43 were appointed by Biden or Obama. Among those drawn from ACLU and public defender pipelines, border enforcement is blocked over 80% of the time and 60% of criminal sentences fall below federal guidelines.
We have added an interactive tool on bench receipts that allows you to drill down and look at how each of these judges behave on the bench.
This is just the start. The federal judges are easier to identify than the state level judges. I assume there are 100s if not 1000+ foreign born or first-gen American on our benches.
They do not judge on our laws, they judge on the culture they came from. This is a huge reason our country has lost its identity.

Letting everyone vote was a deadly mistake…
Many of the Founding Fathers warned against mass democracy. The uninformed masses and hordes of migrants simply vote for more benefits from the state. Several Western nations are now headed toward fiscal collapse, led by France.

What a photo
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The shared photo is AI-generated. The foreground pavement does not match Trocadéro's actual geometric marble esplanade or mosaics, and no such protest scene with Palestinian flags was reported there during October 2026 Paris events.

Wow, wow, wow. I just left the National Press Club where Minister of Communications @AnikaWells spoke. She repeatedly and brazenly lied about the fake accounts, claiming they were only for enforcement, even though the legislation says in black and white that the eSafety Commissioner can use them in unlimited ways for "educational" and "promotional" purposes.
One big moment came when a Politico reporter got up and said something about how mean people like @PaulineHansonOz were to eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman-Grant. Seriously. A supposed reporter was white-knighting for a government official during the official Q&A. The same reporter had come up to me before Wells' speech and asked if I had criticized Inman-Grant. Who needs government censors when you have Politico?
After he asked his question, Wells showed the most emotion, describing online criticism of Inman-Grant as "abuse." She also talked about her own staff's supposed suffering. I kid you not. The mask dropped, and you could see what really upset her: people — including a sitting Senator — criticizing government officials.
After gaslighting the audience about fake accounts, Wells repeatedly insisted the government wasn't trying to censor content. She said this after filling her speech with examples of content she claimed harmed people. You couldn't make it up.
This legislation is the culmination of decades of progressives equating words with physical violence. Wells cynically compared her legislation to prevent psychological "harm" to various laws that protect people from physical harm, like seat belt laws.
BTW, Wells never said what content it was that she thought caused eating disorders. Pictures of skinny women? Dietary advice? Who knows. Nobody asked.
Another important moment came when Wells explicitly said Australia would be pursuing censorship alongside other nations, including the UK, France, and Spain—all countries where governments risk losing power to populists.
I spoke with Julie Inman-Grant before the speech began and asked about the fake accounts. She insisted they were there just for enforcement, and when I asked why the law allowed them to be used for government propaganda, she said she might write an "enforcement memo," which, of course, would have no impact on the legislation.
After her speech, I went up to Wells and asked if she was seriously saying the legislation didn't allow the government to use fake accounts for government propaganda. She refused to answer. A man who said he was from the National Press Club stepped in front of me and said I could interview her afterward. But that wasn't possible because they rushed her out the back to avoid any difficult questions.
So there you have it. The pettiest people in Australia are seeking to silence citizens and their political opponents in the name of protecting children. These deeply intolerant and cynical people want to control what you can see and say online. And they're doing it with most of the media's support. Australia has reached a new low in its rapid descent into dogmatism, intolerance, and censorship.
The government today will introduce sweeping censorship that @AlboMP & @AnikaWells lie about. Below she claims the government wants to create a bot army of fake accounts for “research” when the bill clearly intends for them to be used in partisan warfare against fooled citizens.
