THE PRESIDENT ISN’T AN ELECTED KING
HE IS JUST A BUM

WHICH DOOR DO I LEAVE FROM, ASSHOLE.
WE WANT THE GOVERNMENT THAT CAN CHANGE, NOT STAND STILL
Power should answer to people, not rule over them. What makes a democracy strong? A constitution carved in marble, or the humility to admit we don’t know everything? In With Honors (1994), Joe Pesci’s Simon Wilder, a homeless man with a surprising grasp of history, delivers a spine-stiffening rebuttal to Gore Vidal’s elitist professor. In just a few lines, Simon reframes American power, not as something bestowed by intellect or title, but as something earned by listening and changing. “The president isn’t an elected king, no matter how many bombs he can drop,” he says. In an age where political ego often eclipses public good, it’s a reminder that real leadership is about humility, not authority. Government should be fluid, accountable, and human, not a monument to its own self-importance.
More than Harvard, this film explores the cracks between privilege and principle, and how sometimes the person with the least is the one who sees the most clearly. Simon’s words challenge the myth that wisdom only comes with degrees or podiums. He doesn’t pretend to have all the answers, but he defends the right to question those who claim to. At a time when trust in institutions feels uncertain, this scene reminds us: power should listen before it leads. It should serve, not reign.
With Honors (1994), directed by Alek Keshishian, stars Brendan Fraser, Joe Pesci, Moira Kelly, Patrick Dempsey, and Josh Hamilton. It’s a deeply moving dramedy that explores the unexpected friendship between a privileged Harvard student and a homeless man who takes possession of his thesis. It’s also just a great watch. Pesci’s performance, equal parts wit and grit, earned critical praise for its warmth and gravity. The film is an underrated gem that asks timely questions about class, intellect, and dignity.
Did you know that under Trump, the US Army created a new reserve unit called Detachment 201, which appointed tech executives — one from Palantir, one from Meta, and two from OpenAI — to the high rank of lieutenant colonel, despite them having no military experience? Not great!
Palantir, Meta and OpenAi, including their executives, donated over $7 million to Trump.
That $7M buys their executives the chance to cosplay as Lt Colonels, and make military decisions that benefit their companies and increase their profits.
This is what corruption looks like.
A remarkable new study has found that simply sniffing rosemary could boost your memory by an astonishing 75 percent. Scientists discovered that the scent of this common herb helps the brain break down a compound called acetylcholine — a key chemical that supports learning, focus.
A remarkable new study has found that simply sniffing rosemary could boost your memory by an astonishing 75 percent. Scientists discovered that the scent of this common herb helps the brain break down a compound called acetylcholine — a key chemical that supports learning, focus, and memory retention.
Acetylcholine acts like a messenger in the brain, allowing nerve cells to communicate quickly and clearly. As we age or experience stress, levels of this chemical drop, often leading to forgetfulness or mental fog. But rosemary’s natural compounds — particularly cineole — have been shown to slow this breakdown, keeping brain signals sharp and steady.
In controlled tests, participants exposed to rosemary aroma performed significantly better on memory tasks than those in unscented rooms. They remembered to complete tasks, followed instructions more accurately, and showed improved reaction times.
The best part? This powerful brain boost doesn’t require pills, supplements, or hours of training. Just a few minutes of breathing in rosemary’s earthy scent — through essential oils, fresh herbs, or even rosemary-infused air sprays — could help your brain stay alert and focused.
Researchers believe rosemary may offer a safe, natural way to enhance cognitive performance in students, professionals, and even older adults facing memory decline.
One small sniff. One massive impact. Rosemary is no longer just a kitchen herb — it may be one of nature’s most effective tools for keeping the mind sharp.
Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

We are going to have the first trillionaire, and minimum wage is still $7.25/hr.
Trump just pardoned Michael McMahon, a former NYPD officer who was convicted of acting as an unregistered agent for China, interstate stalking, and conspiracy. A literal agent for China is now walking free because of Trump.
UN-F*CKING BELIEVABLE
Moments after Senate Republicans REJECTED the Democrats’ healthcare deal, Trump departed for Mar-a-Lago.
He doesn’t give a shit about you.
Yesterday at Dr Oz’s press conference, trump fell asleep, shat himself, & the stench was so bad it made some dude behind him pass the fuck out while trump just stood there staring into space. Where’s the outrage from the media? Where’s your book on this,

Republicans have not controlled the Senate, House, majority of Governors, the Supreme Court & the Presidency since 1928.
Guess what happened in 1929?

Meta makes more money from ad fraud – as much as $16 billion – than all the NFL TV partners put together make on NFL ad sales. Theft on an epic scale.
