Tonight, @POTUS will address the nation on Operation Epic Fury.
From day one, the objectives have been clear: obliterate Iran’s missiles and production, annihilate its navy, sever its support for terrorist proxies, and ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon.

From day one, the objectives have been clear: obliterate Iran’s missiles and production, annihilate its navy, sever its support for terrorist proxies, and ensure it never acquires a nuclear weapon.
🧵
.@POTUS (March 2): “Our objectives are clear. First, we’re destroying Iran’s missile capabilities… and their capacity to produce brand new ones — pretty good ones they make. Second, we’re annihilating their navy… Third, we’re ensuring that the world’s number one sponsor of terror can never obtain a nuclear weapon… And finally, we’re ensuring that the Iranian regime cannot continue to arm, fund, and direct terrorist armies outside of their borders.”
.@VP (March 2): “Whatever happens with the regime in one form or another, it’s incidental to the President’s primary objective here — which is to make sure the Iranian terrorist regime does not build a nuclear bomb.”
This is why always choosing the rhetorically most explosive posturing possible is a terrible idea. Anyone who does not know rhetoric does not know how much going always on the offensive and highlighting the catastrophic over the mundane will rape your spirit
This isn't even true. I would argue based on pure demographic stats, across every population group, the US has a whiter citizenry than every Anglosphere country outside of the UK. I don't think its supermajority White or anything but people put themselves into a knot here....
People tried to make it out like the Great Replacement had basically passed the threshold under Biden. Making insane claims downstream of foreign intelligence ops that for all intensive purposes, White in America is the same as someone of European Stock exclusively.

What the Meditating Brain Does, and when
Across all three groups, significant, measurable changes in brainwave activity began within just two to three minutes of starting meditation. Those effects then peaked at around seven minutes.
To understand what this means for your psychological well-being, it helps to know a little about the brainwaves we were tracking.

To understand what this means for your psychological well-being, it helps to know a little about the brainwaves we were tracking.
Alpha waves (8–12Hz) are the brain's signature of calm, wakeful relaxation, the mental state you experience in those moments of quiet focus, free from anxiety or distraction. During meditation, alpha power increased steadily and rapidly across all participants.
Theta waves (4–8Hz) are associated with deep internalised attention, creativity, and the kind of absorption that experienced meditators describe as going "inward." Advanced meditators showed significantly elevated theta from the very first 30 seconds, suggesting that long-term practice doesn't just change how you meditate but also changes how your brain rests.

Jews: we gather together tonight for Seder this Pesach at an extraordinary moment in Jewish history. Our grandparents could not have believed it, let alone the ancestors before them for 100 generations. This year is a Passover of gratitude and wonder. (1/6)
Never since the Maccabees have Jews managed to stand up against the beasts trying to kill us, pillage us, and push us around. This is a new thing.
We are the luckiest Jews to have ever lived, and it’s not even close. There are new rules, and we set them: Israel eliminated the IRGC thugs, who dedicated their lives to building nukes to murder eight million Jews, was a sort of “Nuremberg in advance,” and with guns. That's how it works from now on. (2/6)

What Jews are asked to do once a year is to sit down with their families, the unit that ties us 100 generations into the past but also the far future, and understand where we are. It’s never looked better than this year. Can you beleive it?
All the enemies arrayed against us have been pushed back, and never again will any enemy be allowed to build themselves up on our borders. Khameini should have read more Isaiah: “No weapon formed against you will succeed; and you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment.”
Those that took up weapons are dead, and those who ran their propoganda for them will be repudiated too. (3/6)

It turns out there are significant differences in what is considered a just war that separate Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Judaism considers a “Just War” as a war fought in defense of human life. It makes no distinction between Jewish lives and the lives of any other human beings. It goes on to consider a war against an existential threat to the Jewish people a “Just War,”

including doing everything possible to permanently eliminate that threat. For example, in the Torah, Amalek, or in current events, Hamas and its ideology, or Iran’s Ayatollahs and their ideology.

1. The Biological Conflict: High-Road vs. Low-Road
Human perception operates on two parallel tracks.
The "Low-Road" is a high-speed (12-15ms) shortcut from the thalamus directly to the amygdala. This pathway evolved for immediate survival, providing a low-resolution

The "Low-Road" is a high-speed (12-15ms) shortcut from the thalamus directly to the amygdala. This pathway evolved for immediate survival, providing a low-resolution
"threat" signal that bypasses reason.
In contrast, the "High-Road" (30-40ms) routes data through the sensory cortex to the medial Prefrontal Cortex (mPFC).
This allows for high-resolution analysis and logical context.

2/ First, let's define what we're actually talking about.
An AI agent isn't just a chatbot. It has a persistent state, executes actions, handles complex tasks, and operates with strong reliability guarantees.

Rep. Susie Lee, D-Nev., joined the race to the bottom today with a profane attack on the President for merely watching the arguments on birthright citizenship: "So f--king f--ked up. I’ll pray they f--k him to his face." It is not merely profanity but a pathology on the left...

The average age of the voters for each party are shown in the graph below.
The first thing you will notice is that those people still voting Tories are, on average, aged 67. This is a huge issue for the Conservatives going forward.

Todays story builds on the last post about Eric Vandenaerden.
Still young, Vandenaerden was deemed experienced enough to be a contender for the 1985 Tour of Flanders. He already won 7 races that season, including a stage in Tirreno-Adriatico. 2/24

Most opposition would come from his own team. Eddy Planckaert had won Omloop het Volk. His brother Walter and Australian Phil Anderson, winner of E3, were also formidable contenders. The team also fielded defending champion Johan Lammerts, although he was a domestique. 3/24
