Do your best. Speak the truth.

There are several obvious reasons this is happening. But the one rarely mentioned mainstream is everyone knows 10/7 was a MIHOP attack, which 1000000% undermines any moral authority Israel has to do mass murder in Gaza. Kelly is no dummy and surely knows this. ABN
The reality is individuals, even at or near the top, do not have much power over how the global/Western political system works.
Everyone at or near the top is enmeshed in circles of people, money, and power.
When power in the system is applied, as in Gaza, I doubt Thiel has any say in how his products are used.
A good analogy for how political power works is in the video below, which describes how big banks and huge funds have entirely captured not just the world’s money supply but also what money even is.
The only way we the plebs can affect any of this is make our views known. We have a weak position but our opinions do matter.
My sense is Thiel is not evil. His embarrassment and fumbling are likely symptoms of his knowing the slaughter in Gaza is horrible and he is powerless.
Many people, myself included, do not even want to participate in the system since it strongly feels like making a pact with the devil.
That’s the world. Some of us are in the thick of it, making the world turn.
Some of us become artists, hermits or monks.
I have a clear conscience but am also aware that I do not face the moral conundrums Thiel faces daily.
The truth is the world needs Peter Thiels and also artists, hermits and monks. ABN

No one who actually watches Owens can honestly claim she is irrational, let alone so crazy she should be committed to a mental hospital.
She did at one point show the speaker had not been telling the truth and displays conspicuous self-aggrandizement.
Owens is the best reporter by far on the Charlie Kirk assassination.
Her work has been fascinating, factual and appropriately speculative.
Very importantly, it is crowd-sourced, which makes it super up-to-date and ever deepening, as new facts appear.
Owens is pioneering the journalism of the future. No one else is at her level.
If you have not been watching her, I highly recommend you start. This episode is topical and a good place to begin: Charlie’s Final Hours. What Else Is Josh Hammer Lying About? | Candace Ep 250.
As a side-note, Hammer appears to me to be a JS but I cannot be certain of that.
I can be certain, however, that his response is classic Bolshevik-era JS, where critics were cruelly incarcerated and silenced for ‘mental illness’, when all they were really doing is telling the truth, as is Candace. ABN
June 2001. A “restricted meeting” between President George W. Bush and President Vladimir Putin. Not a podium performance, not a television soundbite, not a speech crafted for domestic applause. A private conversation, the place where empires are supposed to speak plainly, where leaders test ideas that could reroute decades.
And what does the memo show?
Putin raises the idea that Russia could eventually join NATO. He says Russia feels “left out” by NATO enlargement. He points to an older fact most Western publics were never meant to internalize: the Soviet Union applied to join NATO in 1954. He argues the reasons for rejection no longer apply. He suggests, almost clinically, that perhaps Russia could be an ally — “European and multi-ethnic,” comparable in character to the United States.
Probably the worst blunder in world geopolitical history, particularly Western geopolitical history. Not allying with Russia and then pushing NATO encroachments on Russia, followed by the Maidan color-revolution (done by USA), followed by insisting Ukraine join NATO puts the entire blame for this major failure on USA, no matter what bs the Europeans were also slinging.
I believe and hope Trump is trying to undo this enormous error and I hope he succeeds. ABN
In China, a student conducted a human behavior experiment, secretly setting up a small camera, then pretending to faint to see how his schoolmates would react, and the results were quite shocking.
中國一個學生，做人性實驗，偷偷架了一台小攝影機，然後他假裝昏倒，看看學校的同學會有怎樣的反應，結果相當的讓人吃驚。

Posted by Trump. That kind of money is not due to incompetence but planned systemic criminal fraud. A small fraction of $76.5 billion would pay for protective monitoring. ABN
A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Trump Kennedy Center was canceled after the show’s woke host pulled out in protest of President Donald Trump.
Famed drummer and vibraphone player Chuck Redd has been presiding over holiday Jazz Jams at the Kennedy Center since 2006, succeeding bassist William Keter Betts.
But he canceled the annual concert, a holiday tradition dating back more than 20 years, this year after being ‘saddened’ by the performance hall’s rebrand.
‘When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,’ Redd told AP in an email Wednesday.
As of last Friday, the performance center in DC‘s façade reads The Donald J. Trump and The John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.
This is a good example of the power, the cognitive and emotional valence, of psycholinguistics. ABN
