Instagram banned the AIPAC Tracker account, the popular account that shows how much money politicians take from The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, claiming a violation of the app’s terms of service.
Posting publicly available campaign finance data is now a violation. Interesting.

Lead: We Invaded Venezuela. Israel Gets the Oil.
Photo credit: AI-generated image (ChatGPT/OpenAI)
Wasn’t it nice of the U.S. to attack Venezuela so that it can start to sell oil to Israel? What a pal we are to Israel!
Now that the U.S. has captured President Nicolás Maduro and taken effective control of Venezuela’s oil sector, the U.S. can decide who can buy oil and who cannot.
Since Israel is our “model ally,” they get first dibs!
Cuba? We don’t like them because they’re friends with China so they can’t have any. Does this mean their people are suffering? Yes. Do we care? Apparently not.
Countries or companies connected to Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and China are explicitly prohibited from dealing in Venezuelan oil under the new U.S. licenses.
The U.S. now dictates who can buy Venezuelan oil and on what terms. And one of the biggest beneficiaries is Israel.
If you still believe that the U.S. attacked Venezuela for drugs, you’re on drugs.
Rethink What You Put in Your Mouth
Most toothpaste show up with fluoride, foaming agents, and chemicals you wouldn’t knowingly eat—yet you use them twice a day.
VanMan’s Miracle Tooth Powder flips that model. It’s made with real grass-fed cattle bone hydroxyapatite—the same mineral structure as your teeth—to naturally remineralize and strengthen enamel.
No fluoride. No SLS. No foaming agents. Just clean, edible ingredients that work with your body—not against it.
Users report whiter teeth, less plaque, and waking up without that dry, coated feeling traditional toothpaste leaves behind.

The Vatican Bank just announced its first foray into equity indexes, laying the groundwork for what could become Catholic-branded ETFs.
The indexes will track stocks that are “consistent with Catholic ethical principles.” They are not available for consumers to invest in but they could be in the near future.
If you know your Vatican Bank history, you’re probably a bit uncomfortable with this.
In the early 1980s, the collapse of Banco Ambrosiano, Italy’s largest private bank at the time, triggered one of Europe’s biggest financial scandals. The Vatican Bank was deeply entangled in that mess through shell companies and complex financial arrangements. The bank’s chairman, Roberto Calvi, was found hanging under London’s Blackfriars Bridge. Billions vanished. The Vatican denied direct responsibility but eventually paid hundreds of millions in settlements.
It wasn’t just a scandal, it was a theft from the Italian working class. The economy imploded, causing economic pain that lasted decades.
And now, decades later, the same institution wants to brand and curate equity markets under a Catholic “moral” screen.
The new indexes, built in partnership with Morningstar, will filter companies through church doctrine, excluding businesses tied to abortion, contraception, gambling, pornography and other activities deemed inconsistent with Catholic teaching.
It kind of sounds like ESGs in a Catholic frock with the potential to be very profitable for the church. Skepticism is warranted.
Curt Kobain is trending because a new report suggests that he did not commit suicide but rather was murdered. Investigative journalist Chris Todd was on Redacted four months ago and presented research suggesting the very same thing! Watch here!
Justin Verlander is trending because he announced that he is going back to the Detroit Tigers with a reported one-year contract worth $13 million.
The Mummy is trending because Universal announced the fourth sequel to the film franchise, due out in May of 2028. Both Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will reprise their lead roles.

Did you miss our last live show? No problem, you can catch the replay here! Our guest on Tuesday was researcher Jay Dyer, who discussed how the film Eyes Wide Shut is real! The Epstein files prove that elite sex rituals that are meant to solidify hierarchy, power, and control are not fiction.
When the film was released it was dismissed as boring, indulgent and unrealistic. After Epstein, it now reads as psychologically accurate, structurally honest and restrained. Hold on because this one is dark!
