Listening to my fellow CNN panelists last night, I felt like it was 2017 all over again. RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA!

First, they denied the intelligence community was part of The Swamp. Then, they accused me of lying about Barack Obama’s central role in the Trump-Russia collusion hoax. And finally, they lectured me for suggesting there was anything nefarious about the whole ordeal.

Fortunately, we have plenty of receipts thanks to the Dao Prize-winning journalism of @FDRLST.

Let’s begin ...
We now know the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) was flawed, politicized, and rushed.

From @MZHemingway:

Top officials working on an intelligence community analysis about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election were overruled by CIA Director John Brennan, according to records exclusively reviewed by The Federalist. The records are related to ongoing criminal investigations into Brennan and other top intelligence officials for their roles in launching the Russia collusion hoax.

The dispute was over the “key judgment” in a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) that Russia had interfered in the election specifically because Putin and the Russian government “aspired to help President-elect Trump’s election chances.”

The senior intelligence officials pointed out the lack of evidence to substantiate the claim. “We have no intelligence to directly support this ‘aspiration’ point,” said one member of the small group of individuals working with Brennan, FBI Director James Comey, and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper on the assessment of Russian activity in the lead-up to the 2016 election.

Then-CIA Director John Brennan overruled objections to include the Steele Dossier in that 2017 ICA.

From @briannalyman2:

Newly released documents show former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) John Brennan included the now-debunked Steele dossier in the 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) despite warnings from intelligence experts that the dossier was flawed. The dossier was later used as the basis to launch the Russia collusion hoax.

"All The Way!" For Freedom: The Indomitable Spirit of Lt. Col. Benjamin Vandervoort. 🧵(1/8)

Imagine jumping into pitch-black enemy territory, breaking your ankle on impact, and realizing the fate of the D-Day invasion rests on you and your men. That was the reality for the 27-year-old Vandervoort on June 6, 1944. Here is the story of the paratroopers who refused to quit.Image
(2/8)🧵
While months of careful planning went into the invasion, the actual execution on the night of June 6, 1944, devolved into confusion.

As the transport planes hit the French coast, they encountered thick, unexpected cloud banks. Pilots could not see the ground or the pathfinder beacons, breaking up their tight flight formations to avoid mid-air collisions.

Lost in the clouds and taking heavy anti-aircraft fire, many pilots panicked, flying too fast or too low, and dropped paratroopers miles away from their designated zones. 13,000 American paratroopers were scattered across the Normandy countryside.Image
(3/8)🧵
His battalion was ordered to hold the critical crossroads town of Sainte-Mère-Église.

At 0120 hours, Vandervoort parachuted into Normandy with the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment.

He landed in a drainage ditch near the town and severely broke his ankle.

Refusing to be evacuated, he forced a medic to lace his jump boot tightly over the fracture. He used a cane to walk and for the next several days, he hobbled, marched, and led his battalion entirely on foot or using a crutch.Image

🧵84 years ago this week, the Battle of Midway changed history.

But what if America had lost — as it very nearly did?

People have no idea how close we came to a Japanese victory that would have cost the Allies both the Pacific and Europe.

It was that close. 🧵 Image
2/ Had Japan won at Midway, they would have destroyed three U.S. carriers while keeping their fleet intact.

Nothing could have stopped them from seizing key South Pacific islands, building airfields, and creating an impregnable defensive perimeter from Samoa to Midway to the Aleutians.

U.S. supply lines to Australia would have been severed. A Pacific offensive delayed until mid-1943 or later.

But that's just the beginning....Image
3/ An isolated, vulnerable Australia would have had to bring home its own critical troops from North Africa.

Their 7th Division was decisive at El Alamein. Without them, Britain likely would have lost the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, and India.

Without options, Australia might have even been forced into a neutrality pact with Japan — trading raw materials for safety.Image

God created us for real relationship and love with Him. True love cannot be forced — it must be chosen freely. That’s why He gave humanity genuine free will.
1/ 🧵
2/ If God had made our sinful desires extremely weak (almost no struggle), then choosing Him would require almost no faith, sacrifice, or real love. It would be shallow and robotic.
3/On the other hand, if our desires were overwhelmingly strong with no ability to resist, free will would be an illusion — we’d essentially be slaves to sin with no meaningful choice.

82 years ago today, my great-uncle Sergeant (then Rifleman) Arthur Richardson of B Company of the Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada had survived the initial assault on JUNO BEACH. The troops of A and B Companies, initially embarked on the S.S. Monoway, boarded LCAs for the assault. Image
B Company, less one platoon that accidentally found a piece of undefended beach due to a jammed LCA rudder, was disembarked in front of an intact and still-operating concrete resistance nest at Bernières-sur-Mer at 0812.
By the time the concrete bunker was out of action, the Coy Comd, Coy Sergeant-Major and 2 of 3 Platoon Comds were wounded. B Coy was down to less than 35 all ranks still in action. An LCF flak ship helped suppress the bunker and 3 QOR members killed it with grenades and Stens.

A Jewish refugee from Vienna became one of Britain’s toughest Commandos and stormed Normandy on D-Day.

He used his fluency in German to confuse the enemy, fought at Pegasus Bridge, was wounded three times… and still won the Military Medal.

This is his first-hand account:
(🧵) Image
Ian Harris (Hans Hajos) was born in Vienna, Austria on New Year’s Day 1920 to a Jewish father and non-Jewish mother.

His father had served as a Captain in the Hungarian Horse Artillery in the First World War and was highly decorated for his service.

Ian came to England in 1938 under the auspices of the Quakers, working for nearly two years on various farms.

He volunteered for the British Forces and on 14 February 1940 joined the Pioneer Corps.

In early March 1943 he successfully transferred to the commandos.

(continued)
Just before D-Day, training intensified and he was attached to 46 (RM) Commando with three other Germans.

He recalls:

'Then came D-Day when we were supposed to land, attack and knock out the coastal battery at Franceville-Plage, to the east of the Orne. My job was to do with communications, making use of my German whenever I could and giving false messages. I spent the whole of D-Day on a cross-channel steamer called the Prince Albert.

The battery had already been knocked out by the Air Force the day before. I recall standing on the side of ship facing the beach head and seeing the whole panorama of flames, explosions and infantry cheering as they went into action. These were the troopships of D-Day. The gliders of 6th Airborne Division were going over the top of us with their parachutists. We landed as reinforcements to either No. 1 or No. 4 Brigade on the beaches that had already been taken. It was still D-Day.

Soon we were thrown into action. I dealt with the first lot of POWs. There was a German fortified radar station at Luc-sur-Mer and Douvres-la-Delivrande, north of Caen. There were skirmishes and nasty fighting along the main street between the churchyard and farm buildings. We had to fight our way up a slope. I finished in a farmhouse and herded in the POWs. A captured German doctor dressed some of our wounded men.'

If you have more than 10 customers, you need to run the "Champion" cold email playbook.

It sets up a much easier sales process for very little extra work.

Here's what it is and how you can set it up:
You track the key contacts at your customer accounts.

When one of them leaves and starts at a new company, you reach out.

They already know you, trust you, and saw results. That makes the sales process significantly easier.
This works well with mid-market and enterprise accounts where directors and VPs bounce between companies every couple years.

They're going to onboard similar vendors at the new company. You want to be first in their inbox.

A biology professor said: "Your belly is a storage of cortisol waste.

Clear it with one routine before bed... And your life will change."

Here's the 9 minute fix:
(Must read till end )🪡 Image
Your belly fat is not random.

Your abdomen has a higher concentration of cortisol receptors than anywhere else in your body.

Every time your stress hormone spikes, your body sends a direct signal to your midsection: store fat here. Not your arms. Not your legs. Here. Image
This is why stressed people gain belly fat even when they barely eat. The calories are not the issue. The cortisol is.

it gets worse. Read below

The weird mixed messaging of Cardcaptor Sakura showing in detail Sakura putting on her wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads for safety but then drawing the line at wearing a helmet because it would ruin her cute hair style and she couldn't wear her cute school bonnet.
The message is "Safety is important but Not as Important as Fashion" or "What life saved is worth saving if the life it lives isn't worth Living?"
The alternative hypothesis is "The Japanese are a very practical people and Sakura doesn't have enough room in her school locker or backpack to put her helmet in there and she would have to carry it around with her to all her classes all day long".

How does the RW win for real? The starting point is to accept the primacy of culture. The five cultures shown below are irrefutably the most resistant to radical Leftism / communism in the Western world. We've faced the same decades long blasts of political indoctrination,
1/ Image
the same takeover of the schools & colleges, the same electoral manipulations, the same mass propaganda in the media & over the internet - and yet, we resist and in mass numbers. Outside of the racially invaded major cities we vote RW - completely rejecting the propaganda -
2/
in numbers usually equaling 65%-70% of our populations. Europe & Canada have in practice been unable to resist, as has also been true of the US NE & West - their cultures were not as resilient, not as deeply rooted and RW.

There are numerous real world implications.

Maintaining a vibrant s*x life in a long-term marriage requires moving away from the idea that intimacy should be "spontaneous."

In the beginning, biology does the work for you; in a long-term marriage, intentionality takes over.

Here are 10 rules for maintaining s*xual intimacy over the decades.
1/ Forgive the "Off" Nights:

In a long-term marriage, there will be seasons of illness, grief, or extreme fatigue where the s*x life slows down.

The Rule: Don't let a "dry spell" become a "dead zone."

The Action: Acknowledge the phase out loud: "I know we're exhausted lately, but I still find you attractive and I miss our time together." Acknowledging the gap prevents feelings of abandonment or resentment from taking root.
2/ Address "S*xual Boredom" with Novelty:

The brain craves dopamine, which comes from newness.

The Rule: Introduce one new element every few months.

The Action: This doesn't have to be extreme. It can be a new location (the living room instead of the bed), new lingerie, a new playlist, or simply trying a different time of day.
