A new law in Georgia is a win for free-range parenting and says that “neglect” is only when you put your child in serious, obvious danger. This bill came about after a woman was arrested because her 10-year-old son walked less than a mile to town on his own. The town tried to order her to track him on a phone and she refused.

In Case You Missed It.
🤝 Donald Trump has endorsed Lindsay Graham for re-election, saying he “has been a wonderful friend” to the President. He once said Trump was “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” and that the only way to make America great again would be to “tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” That’s friendship?
⚖️ A federal appeals court has temporarily blocked a discovery order that “would have required Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to turn over documents and respond to written questions about their role in advising cuts in certain parts of the federal government.”
🏳️⚧️ A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration cannot block transgender people from enlisting in the military for now.
🏫 The North Carolina Supreme Court ruled that a woman and her son can sue the school district because they gave the 14 year-old boy the Covid vaccine without her consent.

Lead: Gaza Occupation Is A Go
Israel’s Minister of Defense warned that the IDF is planning to “operate with full force in additional areas of Gaza.” In a post addressed directly to the people of Gaza, he says that they “will be asked to evacuate from combat zones for your own safety. The plans are already prepared and approved.”
Prepared and approved by who? He doesn’t say. He only says that Gaza is on its way to being fully occupied by Israel.
He says that the people of Gaza should “demand the removal of Hamas from Gaza and the immediate release of all Israeli hostages—this is the only way to stop the war.” He accuses Hamas of “putting your lives at risk, causing you to lose your homes and more and more territory that will be integrated into Israel’s defense formation.”
The word integrated is telling, isn’t it? This does not indicate a military mission. This means the land will become Israeli and that has been “prepared and approved.”
The full text chain for the bombing in Yemen was published by The Atlantic and it is not something the Trump administration has been able to adequately explain. In fact, they tried to flat out lie it away.
Secretary of defense Pete Hegseth said this when asked: “Nobody was texting war plans. And that’s all I have to say about that.”
He’s parsing words. It wasn’t a war because no one fought back. It was an attack on targets who were in civilian infrastructure. One target was said to be at his girlfriend’s apartment. Why did the U.S. consider the other people living there to be acceptable collateral kills? Assassinations and bombing civilians is against international law.
This is not fighting terrorism. It is terrorism. Why did the Trump administration do it and why did they do it so goonishly?

US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) in El Salvador and published this video about it. It has one hell of a dystopian optic!
“I want everybody to know, if you come to our country illegally, this is one of the consequences you could face… This facility is one of the tools in our toolkit that we will use if you commit crimes against the American people,” she said.
She is standing in front of tattooed gang members, presumably bad dudes. But are we sure? Did these people have due process? We were told that they were the worst of the worst but we were told that about the people in Guantanamo Bay too and that turned out to be a lie. The American people should not be unwitting participants in another Guantanamo Bay.
The Trump administration is also fighting to deport university students who protested on behalf of Palestinians. A Turkish woman at Tufts University was detained because the government says that she “engaged in activities in support of Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that relishes the killing of Americans.” New video shows her being approached by non-uniformed people in masks and put in an unmarked van. The government is still fighting to deport Mahmoud Khalil on slim evidence.
The point is: The U.S. government is arresting people for speech violations. The U.S. government tortured innocent people in Guantanamo Bay without due process. Are we being asked to cheer for the punishment of tattooed banditos to hide these facts or is this exactly what it seems? When is anything in politics ever exactly as it seems?
What’s Trending?
Kidpool is trending because it recently came to light that Ryan Reynolds made his 7-year-old daughter deliver a lewd joke on the movie Deadpool even though she didn’t want to. In a director’s cut of the film, he admits that he threatened to replace her in the film if she didn’t do it and when she begged to get the role back, they made her do it between “70-500 times.” What’s more, this is not the original line in the script. The original line may have been even worse.
Avengers: Doomsday is trending because Marvel Studios unveiled the cast for the movie. I’m sure none of them are perverts like the actors from the aforementioned Marvel film though, right?
Lindsay Graham is trending because President Trump has endorsed him for re-election, saying he “has been a wonderful friend” to the President. He once said Trump was “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” and that the only way to make America great again would be to “tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” That’s friendship?
News By The Numbers
$50,000. That is the price tag on the gold Rolex Daytona wristwatch that US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wore in this video in front of prisoners. The contrast has caused quite a stir.
9 million. That is how many credit scores could triple because the Covid-era student loan pauses are expiring and more than 9 million borrowers are past due, according to a new estimate by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
25%. That is the new tariff that the Trump administration announced on buying foreign-made cars. However, if your car is foreign like a Volvo or Toyota, the tariff won’t apply if it was manufactured in the U.S.
Climate Shift

“Climate change is going to fade from view like overpopulation did.” That is the headline from journalist Michael Shellenberger and political scientist Roger Pielke Jr.
It seems they are right. Two days ago I typed “climate change” into Google and the search engine returned a search for “climate variability.” I was floored. Google is pretending that it always viewed climate change as a naturally occurring phenomenon, which it is. That’s a lie! Google promoted the “climate crisis” by partnering with the United Nations to pervert search results with alarmist information.
What the climate narrative seems to be accepting is that the Earth’s atmosphere goes through natural cycles of warming and cooling and no one was ever able to prove human responsibility for it. In fact, a new paper in the journal Science of Climate Change disproved it. The paper used AI models to reveal that “human CO₂ emissions, constituting a mere 4% of the annual carbon cycle, are dwarfed by natural fluxes.”
The paper also asserts that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) uses faulty models to predict climate outcomes and humans’ roles in them. This was explained in detail in this book by veteran climate researcher Judith Curry: “Climate Uncertainty and Risk: Rethinking Our Response.”
The sad part about this narrative shift is how many people were made anxious based on junk science and alarmism and how many books you have to read to refute the utter crap that Google and the media have been serving up. We should never forgive them. I don’t.
