I still think this is true. We need to speak regardless.
I am becoming increasingly convinced that this “freedom of speech but not freedom of reach” that is being offered here on X is a giant honey pot operation.
I applaud the bravery of many whom I’m sure know this, and are speaking truth anyway. But please, be careful out there.

If you’re actually still going to vote, you need to check this app first.
It has been months in the making, but today I launched the 2026 Midterms Candidate Due Diligence website.
midterms.theleahfiles.com
For far too long we have not had a comprehensive side-by-side picture of who is funding our candidates, who pays for them to get elected, their stance on issues we care about, and many more important factors.
So, I built what I could not find: a page for every single person on your ballot, showing exactly who is paying for them.
Pick your state and you get your voting rules, issues on your specific ballot this midterm, a map of your congressional districts, the measures on your ballot and what they actually do, and a profile on all 2,517 candidates for governor, Senate and House.
For each candidate it shows where their money came from and who wrote the checks, what outside groups spent for them and against them, the companies and nonprofits they own out of their own financial disclosure, and where they stand on the issues with the vote or the quote behind it.
Every number links back to the filing it came from. If something is missing or something is wrong, tell me and I will fix it.
Finalizing some of the smaller elections now, but it's 80% done.
It is free and the site doesn't ask for donations. But if you would like to support my work you can subscribe to my Substack (link in bio) or buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/theleahfile…
I hope you enjoy!

A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.
But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.
One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.
The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.
And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.
The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.
The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.
Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.

Kaygıyla mücadele ediyorsan bu eseri dinle. Yaklaşık 30 saniye içinde nefes alışın değişmeye başlayacak. Bedeni sakinleştiren şey ise notaların arasındaki sessizlik.

Beautiful ❤️
People ask me why I'm so obsessed with ruminants. I've given it some thought, and my conclusion is that I'm not obsessed enough.
A cow walks onto a wet hillside that grows nothing a human can eat, puts her head down, and comes back with steak, butter, cream and a pair of boots.
She does it with a 150 litre fermentation tank she carries inside her, stocked with more bacteria than there have ever been people, which she feeds, waters and keeps at blood heat herself. Grass goes in. The bacteria take apart the one thing no animal can digest, and she lives on what they make. Then she digests the bacteria as well. Nothing is wasted. Even the fat comes out the far side rebuilt into something stable enough to fry in.
Fuel: rain and sunlight. Emissions: next year's grass. She repairs herself, builds her own replacement every spring, and improves the ground she is standing on while she works. The finest engineers alive have spent billions trying to copy one chamber of her stomach in a steel shed, and so far they have made a paste.
We have leaned on that machine for everything. The word capital comes from cattle, because a herd was the first bank. Domesday Book is written on sheep, and so was every deed in England for 500 years. Ruminants clothed our armies, lit our houses and carried our laws. Civilisation is a thing that happened to people who kept them.
And they are such good company about it.
A sheep remembers fifty faces for two years, which is forty-six more than I manage. A cow has a best friend, and her heart rate drops when that friend is beside her. A goat that cannot solve a problem will turn and look to you for help, as a dog does, and then ignore your advice. Let a herd out onto spring grass after a winter indoors and half a tonne of animal will skip.
They ask for grass, rain, and to be left to get on with it.
After ten thousand years of feeding, dressing and housing us, they will still walk over to the gate to see who you are.
So no, I will not be calming down.

Who else remembers the headphones for “hearing tests” and the pink drink?
What was the gifted and talented program really???
Why do we all remember the same things and have that period of our lives seem like a total blur?

Brilliant idea. It would also create community and connection that is totally missing in the work from home world.
A entrepreneurs new village.
A place to build and a place to grow.
We have 100s of rapidly abandoned malls across the US. Very few have a plan other than rot or a distribution center. But what if we can make them magnets to creative thinkers and builders?
The best outcome would be to make this into apartments and worker spaces for entrepreneurs.
This image below is a largely vacant concourse inside the Exton Square Mall in Pennsylvania. It can become a new place to keep talent local or even draw talent from far away.
The conversation is not that complicated as most malls have ample plumbing and conversions to bedroom and kitchen is not difficult or costly.
This entrepreneurs requirement would require the apartment holder to be in an active business that is in startup or active mode with clearly stated rules.
Hundreds of companies can be incubated here with shared resources at the anchors. 3d printers, shops, etc can be held in the areas.
Some anchor stores can serve as markets for products that make sense to sell to the general public.
Some anchor stores can serve as places to hold events and seminars.
Some can serve other functions for inventory, supplies and shipping.
It ain’t perfect and I can already hear the comments some doomers have. And no the living spaces like many lofts in big cities will have no windows but the courtyard. Conduct codes would be higher and closer to a university housing rules than what would be otherwise normal. This is not life long housing. It is like anyone who has ever seen a person, usually young lives when they build, some live in literal closets.
This said it absolutely will become a place of creativity and commerce any city would do anything to gain. A big plus would be a local college or university connection.
I would have lived here instead of my car when I was starting out. So would just about any entrepreneur I’ve ever met.
This is what we can build.
And this really changes the world.

This is absolutely the best case scenario. We shall see…
For the last century or more society has worshipped intelligence and technical competence while treating moral character as an afterthought. I believe this is going to come to an end with the rise of AI.
It’s kind of insane how much our culture will overlook as long as you produce economic value or whatever. A symptom of the almighty GDP number go up cult, etc.
We let high IQ excuse low character because cleverness was rare and profitable. AI very obviously destroys that excuse. Now a computer can outthink every professor, lawyer, entrepreneur, and financier on Earth in seconds. Raw intellect is no longer a reason to admire a man and ignore his moral failings.
What remains is his soul.
Thus, I predict that things like virtue, morality, and piety will be making a comeback which is one of many reasons I’m optimistic and bullish and all of my enemies are losing their minds in existential dread.

I try my best to keep the 10 Commandments through a saving relationship with Jesus Christ.
I really don’t need the Noahide laws to help me on my path. Thank you though. Lol

We need to remember what we lived through and the real world experiences of those who tried to fight back.
This interview is a great way to do that.

A history we are not taught because the parallel patterns would make us open our eyes.
The documented Bolshevik policies and their consequences, often presented as cause-and-effect relationships, to illustrate the perceived dangers of their ideology and its potential impact if applied “the Playbook”

Many people are missing entirely that this whole “AI” to “SI” thing is BIBLICAL, to the core. It is absolutely CRITICAL that everyone understands that this is MUCH DEEPER than surface level. 🚨🚨🚨⚠️⚠️⚠️
I am personally convinced that ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) which has since been not-so-cleverly renamed to just “SI”, is the “Image of the Beast” spoken about in Revelation, and Trump is ALL IN on bringing that into fruition.
The whole idea is to make Transhumanism, the fusion of man and machine, mainstream and accepted. That will absolutely lead to the “Mark of the Beast”.
It’s really just Satan’s pathetic attempt at god-like intelligence on Earth, or like as Elon Musk so eloquently put it they are creating “Digital god”, and that is why it will always be ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
Super intelligence is part of Satan’s plan to create a “super”’man, as a final act of man’s defiance and rebellion against God.
