"Sartre: Nobody Cares About You
(Stop Worrying So Much About Nothing)"
"What if the truth is that nobody really cares about you as much as you think they do? At first, this might sound harsh - even depressing - but in reality, it can be one of the most liberating discoveries of your life.In this video, we explore how existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and modern psychology reveal the hidden trap of constantly worrying about the gaze of others. From the spotlight effect to Sartre’s concept of bad faith, we’ll uncover why the fear of judgment silently robs you of freedom - and how realizing the truth can unlock authenticity, courage, and deeper connection."

"America Is Reaching A Boiling Point"
"America Is Reaching A Boiling Point"
by Michael Snyder
"I am deeply saddened by what is happening to our country. America is reaching a boiling point, and it appears that we have entered a new era of civil unrest in which political violence will become the norm. At this moment in our history, we should all be denouncing political violence as loudly as we can. Unfortunately, there are many voices that are loudly calling for more political violence. I have been warning that this time would come for so many years, and now it is here. The “left” deeply hates the “right”, and the “right” deeply hates the “left”. But how is a bitterly divided nation supposed to thrive? How is it even supposed to survive? Those that founded this country shared a common set of core values, but today there are no core values that still unite us, because the core values that our founders believed in so strongly have been abandoned. In fact, in so many ways America is now the complete opposite of what our founders intended.
Decades ago, we would laugh at the pathetic nations that were constantly plagued by political violence. Now we are one of those nations. A man in New Hampshire was just arrested for threatening to use homemade pipe bombs to assassinate New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte…"A ponytailed New Hampshire man has been arrested after allegedly plotting to assassinate the state’s Republican governor with a ‘weapon of mass destruction.’ Tristan Anderson, 22, is accused of threatening to kill Governor Kelly Ayotte with homemade pipe bombs. According to investigators, Anderson made the chilling threats to his roommate on Snapchat, bragging about his plans and showing off the materials he intended to use."
Hopefully authorities will lock up that nut for a long time, but the truth is that there are millions of others just like him. For example, a crazed leftist at Oberlin College has boldly proclaimed that we “need to bring back political assassinations”… A radical leftist student at Oberlin College casually called for political assassinations to continue in the wake of the targeted killing of political activist Charlie Kirk last week, according to an online post she made. “We need to bring back political assassinations,” said Julia Xu in a social media post, where her handle is @bringbacktheguillotine. “I don’t feel bad and I don’t think that everyone deserves the right to free speech. Some people should be afraid to express their opinion in public.”
That is sick. If you have not seen the footage of her making these comments yet, you can find it on YouTube. So where did she get such horrifying ideas? Well, it turns out that her thinking has been greatly influenced by Chairman Mao…"Xu is on the advisory board of campus group the Gender, Sexuality and Attraction Initiatives, an office that supports queer, trans and women’s programming at the school. Xu, who uses they/them pronouns, is also a member of Students for a Free Palestine.
Xu said she made the comments about Kirk, who was assassinated during a student debate at Utah Valley University in Orem last week, after being given five minutes for “hot takes” during her “Revolution, Socialism and Reform in China” class. She said her statement was influenced by her learnings about Chairman Mao, then went on to misguidedly (and perhaps inadvertently) praise the Chinese leader’s authoritarianism."
There are many on the left that would be thrilled if the United States was transformed into another version of communist China. And a lot of them are openly admitting that blood must be spilled to accomplish that goal. In fact, a tax collector in Pennsylvania has openly admitted that she is “so tired of being told” that violence isn’t the answer…"Ambler, PA tax collector and local Democratic Party leader calls for MORE assassinations and violence “I’m so tired of being told that violence isn’t into the answer. History is filled with blood. Let’s make some more martyrs.” SHE NEEDS TO RESIGN.
All over social media, there are people that are talking about a violent uprising. That should chill you to the core. In response, the Trump administration plans to crack down on left-wing organizations. In fact, President Trump just announced that Antifa will be officially designated as a terrorist organization…"President Trump announced Wednesday that he will designate antifa as a terrorist organization, and is recommending investigations into people who allegedly fund it. It’s unclear when the designation will take place, or what legal implications it will have. Antifa - short for anti-fascist - is a loose affiliation of mostly left-leaning activists, and generally is not considered to be a highly organized group."
I don’t think that people understand what this means. During previous administrations, terrorists have been shipped off to Guantanamo Bay to be tortured and hunted down by predator drones. In his post announcing this change on Truth Social, President Trump explained that Antifa will now be deemed to be “A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION”…"I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
Of course Antifa does not hand out membership cards. So how will it be determined whether leftist protesters are part of Antifa or not? There are so many unanswered questions. But what we do know is that the temperature is rising in this country, and it got even hotter when Jimmy Kimmel was suddenly pulled off the air…"After ABC’s suspension of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” over the comedian’s comments on Charlie Kirk, reactions have been swift, and many questions remain. The Walt Disney-owned network confirmed on Wednesday, Sept. 17, that it has indefinitely pulled Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show following comments he made on a Sept. 15 episode regarding the fatal shooting of the conservative commentator."
I don’t understand why he was still on the air. He was supposed to be a comedian, but he simply was not funny. Maybe that is why so few people were still watching him. ABC decided to make this move because Kimmel suggested that Charlie Kirk’s shooter was part of “the MAGA gang”…“We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,” he said. Jimmy Kimmel should have known better than to say something like that, because everyone knows that it isn’t true. So his employer held him accountable.
But all over BlueSky, liberals are freaking out as if some major turning point in our history has just happened. Here is one example…"First, Stephen Colbert. Now Jimmy Kimmel. Is it sinking in now? Do you all get it now? We now live in an authoritarian dictatorship. The United States of America as we know it is OVER for everyone. There are a lot of things that are going on in this country that are worth getting tremendously upset about. The cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel is not one of them."
But Rosie O’Donnell believes that this nation “is no more” now that Jimmy Kimmel is off the air…"O’Donnell lamented on Instagram: “this is unacceptable – f— this fascist administration and corrupt corporate executives – bowing to the orange monster – America is no more.” She is not rational. Unfortunately, we have reached a point where vast segments of the U.S. population are not rational. And when people are not thinking rationally, violence can erupt.
When asked about what just happened to Jimmy Kimmel, actor Jason Bateman had some very ominous things to say…‘Well, it’s troubling to say the least,’ the A-list star said. ‘And we all have to really take a moment and figure how we feel about this type of thing. Especially, people doing what you do. I’m sure there’s going to be some sort of collective move to respond to this, but I’m not smart enough or powerful enough to be the one to do it but I imagine there’s plenty of conversations going on to do something, because you just can’t stand by and let stuff like that go on.’
Exactly what did he mean when he said that “you just can’t stand by and let stuff like that go on”? If he suggesting what it sounds like he is suggesting? Everyone needs to take a step back and cool down for a while. But of course that isn’t going to happen, is it? 2025 is the moment when our national boiling point is being reached, and things are only going to get crazier from here."

"The Real Reason Gen Z Will
Never Own Anything And Pay Forever"
"Gen Z has been sold the lie of “freedom” through technology and convenience, but the reality is much darker. Rising housing costs, endless subscription models, student debt, car insurance hikes, and the “buy now, pay later” trap are creating the first generation that may never truly own anything. Instead, they’re paying forever - locked into a cycle of rent, debt, and inflation that keeps real wealth out of reach. This isn’t just about Gen Z - it’s a warning for all of us. Millennials are struggling too, and the cost of living crisis is only getting worse. From skyrocketing rent, to healthcare, to utilities, to food prices - every dollar is being drained. The truth is, we’re watching the rise of a system where ownership is replaced with perpetual payment. And if nothing changes, this is the future for America. In this video, we break down the real reason Gen Z will never own anything - and what it means for the rest of us."

"The Corner Where America Lost It's Soul: Inside the
Drug CrisisThat No One Survives, Kensington's Forgotten War"
"There’s a street in America where souls dissolve faster than syringes hit the ground, and the city pretends not to see it. Kensington, one of the nation’s most dangerous neighborhoods, is ground zero for a crisis no one can escape: a deadly drug epidemic consuming lives at an unprecedented rate. From fentanyl to xylazine, the epidemic has left entire communities in ruins. Once thriving with ambition and dreams, America’s forgotten streets now echo with silence, suffering, and the collapse of a system that refused to care. Join us as we explore the heart of Kensington, where survival isn’t a choice, but a fleeting hope. What caused this collapse, and how much longer can America ignore it? This is a story of addiction, despair, and the ongoing fight for survival in the shadows of the American dream."

"100x Bigger Mystery Object Entered Solar System -
and It’s Targeting 3I/ATLAS!"
"The solar system has recently welcomed a strange newcomer - an object so massive that it surpasses anything we've tracked in years. Astronomers are shocked because this gigantic monster, which is nearly 100 times larger than previously recorded interstellar visitors, looks to be traveling directly for 3I/ATLAS. Could this be a cosmic encounter unlike any we've seen before?
In this video, we discuss what scientists currently know about this bizarre interplanetary interloper. This finding has specialists on edge because of its potential origin outside our solar system, as well as its amazing speed and size. We'll look at why its track toward 3I/ATLAS is causing concerns, as well as what this could entail for Earth and the rest of our celestial neighbors. Join us as we investigate the shocking details surrounding this massive object's arrival, ideas about its purpose, and the ramifications of its close encounter with 3I/ATLAS. The universe may be more mysterious - and dangerous - than we previously assumed."

They've discovered 4, possibly 6, larger objects coming in on the same exact vector as I3/Atlas, which may be a scout ship for a larger fleet arriving in strength. One, the enormous C/2025 R2 (SWAN) is 100 times the size of I3/ATLAS. As the astronomer/physicist Avi Loab states, if I3/ATLAS is the "scout" ship SWAN is the "fortress."

“These three bright nebulae are often featured in telescopic tours of the constellation Sagittarius and the crowded starfields of the central Milky Way. In fact, 18th century cosmic tourist Charles Messier cataloged two of them; M8, the large nebula left of center, and colorful M20 on the right. The third, NGC 6559, is above M8, separated from the larger nebula by a dark dust lane. All three are stellar nurseries about five thousand light-years or so distant.
The expansive M8, over a hundred light-years across, is also known as the Lagoon Nebula. M20's popular moniker is the Trifid. Glowing hydrogen gas creates the dominant red color of the emission nebulae, with contrasting blue hues, most striking in the Trifid, due to dust reflected starlight. The colorful skyscape recorded with telescope and digital camera also includes one of Messier's open star clusters, M21, just above the Trifid.”

"Casualties of War"
by Joel Bowman
“War is father of all, and king of all. He renders some gods,
others men; he makes some slaves, others free.”
~ Heraclitus (5th Century BC)
Buenos Aires, Argentina - "Many and varied are the fissures, fractures and fault lines that divide mankind. Capitalism vs. communism... analytic vs. continental philosophy... Marilyn vs. Jackie... Some dichotomies, like individual rights vs. collective obligations... or Hume’s radical skepticism versus Kant’s transcendental idealism... are clear enough to differentiate such that they may be debated heartily and openly by all and sundry. Others, like a gentleman’s preference for blondes or brunettes... are fraught with peril, and thus best left to unmarried men to argue over. Moving on, then...
War in Pieces: When we left you last, we were distracting ourselves with yet another historic matchup: war vs. peace. Is the world careening toward the former, as it appears... or ready to embrace the latter? As the writer of Ecclesiastes reminds us, there is a time for all things, for all seasons, under heaven... including, but not limited to...
“...a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.”
So where are we in this grand, cosmic cycle? Here, the Commander-in-Chief of history’s most powerful military gives us a not-so-subtle hint. From Fox News..."Trump signs order renaming Pentagon back to ‘Department of War’
Trump said the name is 'a much more appropriate name, especially in light of where the world is right now.' Like everything The Donald does, his 200th Executive Order was met with chest beating and teary salutes from one TDS team (those given to Trump Devotion Syndrome)... and howls of protest from the other TDS faction (those soft and empty craniums in which the president lives “rent free”).
For our part, we approve of the new name... which is really a return to the old, pre-1947 name. Even if we’re not for costly foreign entanglements and mass killing to the “sound of trumpets,” as Voltaire described the scourge of war, we are in favor of calling a thing by its proper name. And whatever dubious traits the Department of Defense might claim for itself, truth in advertising was surely not among them. But let us return to the battlefields, so to speak. The latest, from the frontlines...
From AFP: "Israel army says it will use 'unprecedented force' in Gaza City." Gaza City (Palestinian Territories) – The Israeli military warned on Friday it would operate with "unprecedented force" in Gaza City, telling residents to flee southwards as it presses its ground offensive on the territory's largest urban centre. Israel has pummelled Gaza City with strikes and tank fire in its bid to seize it, nearly two years into the war that has devastated the Palestinian territory and left the Gaza City area gripped by a UN-declared famine.
Interesting timing, too. According to the newswire, “The assault comes ahead of a planned move by several Western countries, including France and Britain, to recognise a Palestinian state next week at a UN summit.” And now comes news of a “large wave of airstrikes” into southern Lebanon over the past 24 hours. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah. Lebanon claims otherwise. And the battlefield enlarges...
War Games and Military Drills: So too does the theater of war expand in Europe, with western newswires aflutter with reports of Russian drone incursions in Poland and Romania during the past week. Russia denies the claims, with Moscow’s ambassador to the UK pointing to “many false flag operations from Kyiv authorities during these years.”
Whether true or not, the war drums beat louder by the day. From (Polish broadcaster) TVP World..."Poland and NATO deploy 30,000 troops in military drills after Russia-Belarus war games. The Polish armed forces are staging their largest military drills of the year, bringing together around 30,000 troops from Poland and NATO alongside more than 600 tanks, aircraft and missile systems. Codenamed “Iron Gate,” the exercises are taking place at a training ground in Orzysz, just 100 kilometers from the strategic Suwałki Gap - a narrow corridor connecting northeastern Poland and Lithuania, sandwiched between Belarus and Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave.
This area has long been described as NATO’s “Achilles’ heel” - but the drills, part of the alliance’s wider “Iron Defender” maneuvers, are meant to display unity against the backdrop of heightened tensions with Russia. NATO’s “Iron Gage” military flex comes as Germany leads a 14-nation firepower display, Quadriga 2025, in the Baltics. The exercise, which involves air, land, and naval units - including warships, aircraft, armored vehicles, and logistics operations - marshals another 8,000 troops along Russia’s border.
Then there’s Operation Eastern Sentry, ostensibly designed to “bolster NATO’s eastern flank defenses” in response to the alleged violations of Polish airspace, which involves the mobilization of assets from multiple NATO members... including fighter jets from Denmark (F-16s), France (Rafales), Germany (Eurofighters) and likely others, including from the UK (where Trump just wrapped a press tour)...
But don’t you worry, dear reader. There’s nothing to see here. Naturally, “our” war buildup – also known as “exercises” and “military drills” – are brave... defensive... and all for the good. “Their” buildup – also known as “war games” – are menacing... offensive... fashioned from pure evil.
Friend From Foe: Of course, in the fog of war, it’s difficult to tell friend from foe, the enemy at the gates from the enemy within them. Propaganda, as is well known, finds fertile soil in shallow minds. That goes for both sides. Certainly, it doesn’t take a Tolstoyan imagination to conjure the pathos-rich headlines landing on the working Russian’s doorstep every morning...
“Foreign military alliance conducts war games along Russian border.”
“NATO gathers forces, assembles fighter jets, as peace talks collapse.”
“The Germans are coming!”
At the risk of seeing things from a different perspective, a dangerous undertaking in this, the Age of Certainty, one dares ask the obvious question: what might Washington’s response be if, say, a Chinese-led military alliance amassed 30,000 troops – along with “more than 600 tanks, aircraft and missile systems” – along the Canadian border? Would such a move put the Commander-in-Chief in the mood for good faith peace negotiations? Or might it be seen as crossing the brightest of bright red lines?
One recalls Mr. Kennedy being none-too-pleased when Mr. Khrushchev was caught installing medium- and intermediate-range nuclear missiles in America’s own backyard, in Cuba, back in 1962. Indeed, the human race waited in tenterhooks as U.S. forces worldwide were raised to DEFCON 2, the highest level ever in U.S. history short of nuclear war.
Several near misses and miscommunications during the crisis – including a US spy plane being shot down over Cuba (the pilot was killed)... and another veering into Russian airspace... on the very same day – could easily have triggered the “mutually assured destruction” the world so feared. In the end, it is something of a miracle that man – aided in no small part by his own dumb luck – has managed to avoid nuclear annihilation for this long.
Yes, dear reader, the story of our errant species is not without its moments of hubris and folly. No doubt both sides thought themselves on the “right side of history” along the way... but like so many things, history is only good while it lasts. Truth, as they say, is often the first casualty of war. But it’s not just the one-sided coverage of foreign conflicts that has hampered America’s once proud Fourth Estate.
From the fake-news-a-thon during the general elections… to the Covid hysteria… to ongoing cultural wars… to slanted and partisan coverage of every aspect of daily life, even down to the weather itself… people are growing tired of being fed “the narrative.” Indeed, the latest polls from Gallup show American’s Trust in Media at a well-deserved, five decade low."

"Astronomers have just revealed a chilling discovery - 2025 PN7, a mysterious object that has been hiding in Earth’s orbit for more than sixty years. It’s not a satellite, not a comet, not even a known asteroid. Early scans suggest unknown alloys, impossible stealth properties, and subtle course changes - the kind of behavior no natural object should ever display. Some scientists believe it could be an alien probe, cloaked and watching us since the dawn of the space age. Others say it’s just a fragment of rock, faint and hard to see. But with NASA unable to explain it, China already planning a mission to intercept it, and whispers of government cover-ups growing louder, the question remains: what has been shadowing Earth for six decades - and why now is it finally being seen? In this video, we break down the discovery, the strange evidence, and what it could mean for the future of humanity."

"In July 2025, astronomers spotted something racing through our solar system at impossible speeds. At first, it looked like another comet from deep space, rare, but not unprecedented. Yet as telescopes locked on, the details didn’t fit. Its light didn’t behave like a comet, its path seemed too precise, and the glow that surrounded it defied every natural explanation. For weeks, experts argued, data poured in, a glowing nuclear core found in interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS, and experts were shocked. This is the story of an object that may rewrite everything we know about the universe."
