Today we discuss Harvard, higher ed, public health, AI, and political cheating. Harvard has announced the suspension of several graduate programs, as well as hiring and other budget freezes, claiming poverty due to the suspension of federal grants. But Harvard’s revenue last year was $6.7 billion, and their losses amount to 1.7% of that. Meanwhile, Trump wants Harvard to run trade schools. Then: vaccinologist Paul Offit admits that natural immunity was always superior to vaccine-induced immunity—if you survived the infection—but that this was not a matter of public health policy because Americans couldn’t handle the nuance. And: Google’s AI fabricated a criminal history, and is now being sued. Finally: how you voted is visible on your mail-in ballot in some counties in California.

There seems to be a deliberate effort underway to “Hamas-tize” online critics of Israel, to equate dissent with extremism, as to implement "Hate Speech" laws. Does anyone else see that too?
I don’t like talking about this topic because most people are burnt out on it, and I think that fatigue is by design. A lot of conversations are being deliberately hijacked by professional trolls to “Groyperize” dissenters, turning genuine criticism into something that is distasteful to a casual observer
I first noticed something strange when Candace Owens had Nick Fuentes on her show. The next day, Nick would talk insanely mad shit about Candace, saying some of the nastiest things I’ve ever heard, including about Black people in general. It made no sense unless (upon reflection) he was purely trolling
Later, Tucker Carlson commented in his interview with Candace:
TUCKER CARLSON: He [Fuentes] is clearly part of a campaign to discredit non-crazy right voices. That’s obvious. I’ve been around a ...

The Divergent: Strategic Outline for Cultural and Political Disruption
Working Tagline: Reason. Restoration. Renaissance.
Or Integrity. Transparency. Respect.
I. Introduction: Why Now?
America is paralyzed by polarization. The current political system feeds on division, outrage, and gridlock.
Reasonable, values-driven people on both sides of the aisle are politically homeless.
The status quo benefits power structures, not citizens. The Divergent offers a real-time alternative.
II. Foundational Premise: What Makes This Different
Not a third party — a functional realignment of citizens reclaiming power without adopting old structures.
Not centrism — a movement defined by functionality, truth-seeking, and mutually satisfying outcomes.
Not passive — we leverage collective abstinence, transparency, and upstream solutions to shift power.
III. Core Values
Defection from division — We reject and sever allegiance to any organization, media outlet, or political entity that leverages division for power, profit, or influence. Solidarity in this refusal is how we reclaim our collective strength.
1. Integrity without compromise — Candidates and policies must meet basic moral...
What's going on here? This is my video, it looks like the government has sprayed some defoliation agent to kill off the trees and weeds. This is all over my area of Virginia. I've never seen them do something like this and don't understand why they are with which herbicide. It's easy to go dark in wondering what they're up to, could be innocuous too.
