WOMAN SHOT IN THE HEAD
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of Cartersville , GA,was visiting her in-laws and while there went to a nearby super-market to pick up some groceries. Later, her husband noticed her sitting in her car in the driveway with the car running and the windows rolled up. Her eyes closed with both hands behind the back of her head.
He became concerned and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay; Linda replied that she had been shot in the back of the head and had been holding her brains in for over an hour (at least it seemed that way to her, it actually had been 15 minutes, she blamed the inability to tell time on her head injury).
The husband called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the doors were locked and Linda refused to move her hands.
When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of bread dough on the back of her head. From the back seat a biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her in the back of her head.
When she reached back to find out what it was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed out, but quickly recovered.
Linda is blonde, a Democrat, and a Biden supporter; but that could all be a coincidence.
The defective biscuit canister was analyzed and it was determined to be Trump's fault.

Question:
In the Bible Adam & Eve had children, Cain & Able right?
Cain k!lled Able, right?
Then Cain moved away and married, is that right?
Where did the wife come from if in the beginning God ONLY made Adam & Eve?
I’m trying really hard to understand the logic here. Please I need answers, I’m only trying to understand.

Re the Cornell rape allegations:
1. There are stark differences between Jane Doe’s 2024 statements to police and the allegations made in the 2026 civil lawsuit. Both accounts cannot simply be treated as true if they materially contradict each other. The DA declined prosecution in 2024 for substantive reasons, and that matters when assessing what happened.
2. It does no good to assume criminal guilt based on a civil lawsuit filed two years after the initial statement. That is not fair to these young men, and it is not fair to actual rape victims. It may feel satisfying to say, “The Cornell 7 raped a young woman,” but an accusation does not make that claim true.
3. Looking back on a consensual sexual encounter with deep regret happens. But it does not turn that encounter into rape. Women, like men, have agency and are responsible for making choices about sex, including their choice of partners and activities. Consent matters. So does personal responsibility.
4. Even if the encounters that night ultimately remain on the consensual side of the line, the choices made by both the young woman and the young men are still morally repugnant. Substance abuse and sexual behavior can be destructive without every destructive choice becoming a crime.
5. Accusations of physical or sexual abuse carry enormous consequences for the accused, especially for young men. That is precisely why such allegations should be taken seriously and investigated carefully. Abuse should be dealt with harshly when established. But allegations should not be treated as proof, and false claims of abuse should have severe consequences as well.
6. Feminism created an entire ideology around sex, turning what should have been equal treatment under the law into an ever-expanding demand for special treatment and social restructuring, all with a side of misandry.

The old way to win at Google was keyword stuffing.
You picked a phrase like "email marketing tips" and repeated it. In the title. The first line. Three subheadings. The name of the photo file.
I did that for years. I taught other people to do it. It worked.
Here is what changed, and it is not what most people think.
Ranking still works. Clicking stopped.
68% of US Google searches now end without anyone clicking anything. When Google puts an AI answer at the top, people click one of the sources about 1% of the time.
HubSpot built one of the biggest content operations on earth doing exactly what I taught. Their organic traffic is estimated to be down 70 to 80%.
You can still reach the top of Google.
It is just no longer a door to anything.
Open your own analytics and compare this June to June two years ago. That number is the whole story.

Communism through (my) ages:
1) When I was 15, a teacher told me "It isn't as bad as they say, and makes a lot of sense."
2) At about 19, college friends, "Socialism isn't communism."
3) At 20, on meeting my grandfather-in-law, "They are evil. We escaped in 1949."
4) At 30, "China is a wonderful developing Democracy"
5) At 35, I was sent to communist China on business. It was a crowded, smelly, dirty, factory of despair and hopelessness. This I saw with my own eyes.
6) At 36, "China doesn't count. Successful socialism is in northern Europe."
7) I moved to northern Europe when I was 40. It was much nicer than China, but also felt like I was living in the past. I had to wait 6 months for a hernia operation.
8) When I was about 45, the migrant crisis began. The socialist/globalist/pacifist allowed them entry into every country, regardless how many crimes they committed along the way. Just 20 minutes from my house, in Calais, I was shocked to see migrants jumping onto trucks, breaking open the doors, scattering the contents across the highway, then climbing in. They went through the Chunnel and got out in England.
9) At 52, the soft socialism around me had transformed into globalism. I was told I had to call people by their preferred pronouns, though it was a lie, and even if I didn't know what the preferences were. I quit.
10) I returned to the US, and am now 60. "Socialism" is no longer a dirty word here. People openly espouse the virtues of it. Politicians run as socialists and win.
Socialism has taken many forms, from the Bolshevism of Russia, to the CCP in China, the Nazis in Germany, Fascists in Italy, and the many forms of it found in Latin America. It is one of the two most destructive ideologies on earth. It is designed to deprive, despirit, and murder everything that comes in contact with it.
Socialism is a great lie at every level. It helps no one, not even those who benefit the most. This is because the cost is the imposition of one's will on everyone else, and that destroys the soul of the usurper and the life of the oppressed.
Socialism always fails on its own, but only after destroying almost everything in its train. It can also be conquered. Those are the options.

Democrats think they’re using Muslims to usher in socialism.

"A socialist can set up a company, give shares to all the workers, put workers on the board, pay executives the same as everyone else and if there’s any profit remaining they can freely donate it to the government.
There is absolutely nothing stopping any socialist from living according to these values under a capitalist system." - @DanielPriestley
He's wrong about that. There is something that stops them.
Common sense.

Genuinely, socialism is the best sounding system.
It makes perfect sense for a society to work together to elevate the living standards of everyone together.
It makes sense that if someone builds something of enormous value, we accept that it was inevitable that it would have been created at some point and that it was society as a whole that went into the discovery.
It seems fair that we would all accept that people have vastly different abilities that yield very different commercial value. How unfair that the person who is naturally good at negotiating a roll-up acquisition strategy is wildly more rewarded than the nurse who returns someone to health or who allows someone to die with dignity.
Honestly, I see it. I understand it.
The issue is that we are primates running on ancient software. We don’t do stuff for the collective good, we do stuff for our kids.
The person who strives for an A on the exam doesn’t study if the grades are equalised. The entrepreneur doesn’t start the company when half the rewards are redistributed to those who didn’t - even though they couldn’t.
We’re happy sharing to an extent but we’re not content to put it all in the pot. We’re happy to help those who clearly cannot survive on their own but we’re not happy supporting those who don’t want to work or who struggle to get motivated or focused.
Socialism is the smartest system but it doesn’t actually work and has never worked. Really smart people like socialism because they can see how much better society could be … if only it worked.
Even John Lennon kept the royalties to Imagine. His heirs will never need to work again from that one song alone. If he truly believed what he was saying, he would declare that it belongs to “all the people living for today”.
Capitalists accept human nature. We know there is a better way but we know it’s out of reach. We understand that if you can harness self interest in a pro-social way you will lift living standards enormously. The restaurant owner will feed the village not because it’s good for society but because it’s good for his kids… either way the village is fed. John Lennon will write uplifting songs … but only if he owns the rights.
The most important part about capitalism isn’t that it’s better - it’s not. It’s that it actually works in the real world.

Ci sono miti (fasulli) duri a morire!
Karl Marx non era un filosofo del popolo. Era un parassita invidioso che ha succhiato soldi per tutta la vita: prima dai familiari, poi da Engels, che lo manteneva con regolarità mentre lui bruciava tutto in speculazioni sbagliate e nel vizio.
Quando le richieste diventavano troppo oscene, Engels stesso si innervosiva. Marx non riusciva a nascondere l’invidia per la ricchezza altrui. E da questa invidia personale ha costruito un’ideologia.
Il comunismo non è una teoria della liberazione: è l’invidia elevata a sistema. Invece di creare ricchezza, insegna a odiare chi la crea. Invece di premiare il merito, premia il risentimento. E quando prende il potere, trasforma lo Stato in una macchina di saccheggio legalizzato.
Non è un caso che ovunque sia stato applicato abbia prodotto miseria, carestie, gulag e morte di massa. Oltre cento milioni di vittime nel XX secolo, come documentato nel Libro nero del comunismo.
Hayek lo aveva capito: il socialismo non è solo economicamente fallimentare, è il preludio inevitabile al totalitarismo. Solženicyn ha descritto l’orrore dei campi. Mises ha smontato la sua economia prima ancora che si realizzasse.
Marx non ha mai lavorato un giorno in vita sua in modo produttivo. Ha passato il tempo a teorizzare come rubare il frutto del lavoro altrui. E la sua ideologia ha solo fornito la giustificazione morale a generazioni di parassiti, tiranni e sicofanti.
Il comunismo non è una sfortunata applicazione di un’idea buona. È un’idea cattiva fin dall’origine, nata dall’invidia e dalla pigrizia intellettuale di un fallito che ha voluto rifarsi una vita a spese degli altri. E il mondo continua ancora oggi a pagarne il prezzo.
E la nostra battaglia culturale deve continuamente ribadirlo!

The commies are right, we should take Elons trillion dollars to finally solve hunger in Africa.
Oh, wait, $2.6 trillion has already been thrown at Africa in foreign aid since 1960 & people are still hungry.
The commies are right, we should take Elons trillion dollars & solve homelessness.
Oh, wait, hundreds of billions have already been thrown at homelessness & the homeless population has only grown exponentially.
New York alone spent $81K per homeless person per year & the homeless population exploded.
Not having enough money is never the problem.
The commies who want to manage the money are the problem because they always find a way for that money to land in their own back pockets.
Thats the ONLY reason they want Elon’s money- to funnel it right back into their campaigns & pockets.
There ain’t a single genuine thought of good deeds behind the “tax the rich” movement.

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.
I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.
Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.
We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!
Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??
Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."
Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.
When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.
My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.
Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.
People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.
Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.
We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.

When my son got one of his first jobs with a manufacturing company, he complained how he was “doing all the work” making parts that sold for hundreds of dollars a piece while only making $20 an hour.
“It’s unfair to the workers!” he said.
“You sound like a liberal.” I said.
He made a classic mistake I see people make over and over. They only look at the hard cost of goods and final sale price. They don’t understand anything in between.
I pointed out that the company he worked for only makes an 8% profit. Their total profit on that $400 part was really only about $32.
“There’s no way.” he said. “The bar stock only costs about $8.”
To him, his argument was logical. Every day his hands turned $8 worth of aluminum bars into thousands of dollars of product, but he only got about $160 of that. That seemed unfair.
I asked him “What about all of the other people in the company? The ones who aren’t making the parts.”
He hadn’t thought about that.
I explained that every hand along that product’s journey from creation to the customer is another person who has to get paid. The engineers who designed and tested it, long before you made it. The person who packed it in a box. The person who made the manuals that go with it. The person who answers the phone when a customer has a problem later. The people who order the materials and maintain the machines and sweep the floors and clean the toilets after you leave. The accountants and lawyers and insurance companies who keep the business organized, compliant, and protected if the part you made fails.
All of those people are paid for from those parts you made. And all of them get their paychecks whether the parts are sold right away or not.
On top of that, there’s the cost of the facility itself. The building, heating and cooling it, and every piece of equipment inside it.
All of those costs are paid before the owner makes one cent.
“At the end of the day, you’re actually making more money from every unit you make than he is.“
He understood it after that.
Running a business is the hardest way to make money.
Roughly 90% of entrepreneurs will fail. Don’t get me wrong, the reward can be great if you’re one of the 10% that makes it, but that results in a confirmation bias. You only see the winners. You never heard about the 90% that failed before they made it.
You see the guy in the big office who looks like he doesn’t work as hard as you, but you never saw what it took to get there.
You never saw the times he went without a paycheck so he could make payroll. You never felt the stress of being denied necessary capital, or losing an important customer, or under-bidding on a contract and losing money on every unit. You’ve never felt the repercussions of making the wrong call.
If you mess up, one customer is marginally inconvenienced, and you can fix it with another $8 part. If HE messes up, you and everyone else have no job.
You can be the guy on top if you’re willing to take the risks they took and do the work they did to get there.
Or you can do your part and collect your paycheck while someone else worries about that stuff.
And that’s OK too, because the world needs both.
The beauty of capitalism is that you get to choose which one you want to be.
