🚨BREAKING: Benny Johnson just completely exposed Ilhan Omar:
She entered Congress in 2018 with $65K debt. Today she’s worth $30M on a $174K salary.
Meal fraud, her husband’s venture capitalist firm, and a fraudulent wine company built her up.
Insane:
Fine wine is a useful metaphor for craft: the best results usually come from patience, balance, and knowing what to preserve.

[📰] 251217 – ENG Translation - Anan Magazine Group Interview - #PARKGUNWOOK cuts
Q. What was everyone’s most ICONIK obsession of the year?
🧸: Matthew started a Pokémon game, and before we realized it, everyone ended up playing it too.
🐥: Recently, the FPS (shooting) game that I’ve been playing with Yujin and Gunwook has become a bit of a craze among us.
Q. What's an ICONIK way you spend your time while you're in Japan?
🐥: Japan has a culture where plastic models are very popular, so I often go buy them with Matthew and Gunwook. I plan to go again soon!
🧸: I like to try authentic seafood dishes. Like fish grilled on a skewer, or carefully roasted oysters.
Q: Out of all the times you've promoted in Japan so far, what's something that's memorable to you?
🦋: At a fan sign, a fan came with her daughter. The little girl was so cute that she still remains in my memory.
🧸: That little girl said she was my fan.
🦋: No. She said that she liked all the members.
🧸: But she held my hand and was really happy about it!
>>
🧸: It's nice when we have unexpected encounters with our fans.
Q. If you could spend a week together with the members in Japan, what would you do?
🦌: I also want to go to Hokkaido and try skiing. There are famous ski resorts in Niseko.
🧸: "Ski" has a nice ring to it. I like it!
(in Japanese, 好き = to like something, pronounced 'suki,' which is similar to the japanese pronunciation of スキー ski 'sukii')
🐹: I love it! (in Japanese, 大好き 'daisuki')
🦋: (Tired of their antics) Yes yes. I also like skiing. (in Japanese, 僕もスキー大好き 'sukii daisuki')

🧸: I want to go to Okinawa! I want to experience Okinawa's local culture.
🦊: I also want to go to Okinawa. I haven't been snorkeling before so I want to give it a try. If we go to Okinawa, I would want to go with members that actually like going outside.
🐥: Are you talking about me? Thank you!
🦊: You're definitely not who I'm talking about (laughs). Gyuvin, Gunwook, and Yujin seem like they'd enjoy it.
Q. Thinking back on your activities up until now, compared to your first impression of them, what member's image has changed the most to you?
🦋: I think it’s Gunwook. At first, I was a bit overwhelmed, but as time passed, he started to feel more and more like a baby to me.
🐹: Gunwook isn't just cute, but also has a reliable side to him y'know.
🧸: I’ve always been cute! If you look at me without bias, you’ll realize how cute I am. But while I’m happy to be seen as cute, I’m also a little embarrassed on the inside, so I’d rather be seen as cool.
🦋: Fufu~ you're still a baby. I prefer being seen as cute! As you get older, for some reason you start to want to be called cute.
🧸: I think you're right. I'm still a child so I don't understand it fully though (laughs).
>>
🧸: I also think it's Jiwoong . When we debuted I thought he was a quiet person, but turns out he's actually really funny.
Q. In line with this issue’s theme of "warm activities," if there were a freezing ZEROSE in front of you, how would you warm them up?
🧸: I’d conveniently be returning from a camping trip with a duffel bag. I’d put ZEROSE inside it, sling it over my shoulder, and carry them all the way to their home (laughs).

Snorkeling is exciting, but good planning and attention to safety are what make the adventure enjoyable.

Injured mid-level male easily beats #1 female tennis player in "Battle of the Sexes" match

Tennis matches can spark bigger conversations, but the sport still comes down to preparation, movement, and execution under pressure.
Tennis appearing alongside everyday rituals is a good reminder that sport often lives in the details of a life.
Beauty conversations can be surprisingly personal: the same look can carry a completely different meaning for each person.

Our recommandation to @EmmanuelMacron on what his New-Years speech could look like:
Citizens of Europe, today is not just another day. Today, we stand at the precipice of a choice: Will we be the architects of our own destiny, or will we remain the vassals of others? Will we build a Europe that decides, that acts, that leads, or will we accept a future where our laws, our security, and our prosperity are dictated from across the Atlantic or the Pacific?
The world has changed. The United States no longer sees us as equals, but as a continent to be reshaped in its image. Their latest strategy does not hide its contempt: they call our democracies fragile, our leaders illegitimate, our commitment to Ukraine misguided. They seek to cultivate resistance to our values within our own nations. They want us divided, dependent, and docile. But I say: Europe will not be lectured. Europe will not be instructed. Europe will not be a vassal!
For decades, we outsourced our defense, our technology, our energy. We bought American, we bought Chinese, because it was easier, because it was cheaper. But at what cost? Every euro spent on foreign arms, every chip designed in Silicon Valley, every decision deferred to Washington or Beijing is a brick in the wall of our own imprisonment. Strategic autonomy is not a luxury. It is survival!
We will not wait for permission to defend ourselves. By 2025, Europe will deploy 5,000 soldiers anywhere, anytime, to protect our citizens and our interests. We will build our own defense industry. no more excuses, no more delays. In tech, we will no longer be the vassals of American or Chinese giants. We will invest, we will innovate, we will lead. And in energy, we will control our own future, with European wind, European nuclear, European solar!
To our American friends, I say: Cooperation, yes. Dependence, never. We will not be told what is allowed, what is forbidden, how our lives must change because of the whims of a single man. To China, to Russia, to all who seek to divide us: Europe is not for sale. Our sovereignty is not negotiable. Our unity is our shield!
This is our moment. The choice is stark: a Europe that bows, or a Europe that rises. A Europe that begs for scraps at the table of others, or a Europe that sets its own table. I choose the Europe of power. I choose the Europe of pride. I choose the Europe that says: We decide. We act. We lead. Vive l’France, Vive l’Europe!
A pretty little afternoon tea moment. Good drinks, sweet treats, and nowhere I need to rush off to. I'll happily stay a little longer

Oh, please—bitching about women being "too sexualized" at Mar-a-Lago while your bikini-clad ass is all over your social media?
Crystal clear logic there, champ.
MTG's gone full Karen: bleached-blonde, Botox'd, and bleating like a suburban wine mom who just discovered white liberalism.
Total hag transformation complete.
