If you have a child that can articulate themselves at an early age and exudes confidence , you have an obligation to ensure that the environment you place them in does not break this out of them.. you cannot surround them with adults with poor self esteem and ignorance

dostoyevsky said hell isn't fire and chains but simply being unable to love. we search for God in cathedrals when he hides in the eyes of strangers who need us. in the beggar we rush past. in the enemy we refuse to forgive. in the parts of ourselves we keep locked in darkness. we pray for miracles while ignoring the burning bush of every ordinary moment. the greatest sin isn't hatred but indifference - the heart that feels nothing when it should break. and on judgment day, you won't be asked what you believed, but who you comforted when they wept in the garden alone.

Think Trump was aggressive to Zelenskyy for no reason?
Watch the whole talk.
Timestamps below.
Zelenskyy was emotional.
Interrupted Trump.
Called Putin names.
Raised his eyebrows.
All before Trump checked him.
And he called Vance a bitch.
He wasn’t ready for peace.

12:00 Trump cracks joke with Zelensky

19:00 reporter asks Zelenskyy why he’s not wearing a suit
19:22 Trump commits to sending arms to Ukraine
19:41 Zelensky raises eyebrows and rolls eyes at Trump’s statement
22:55 Trump takes the edge off of the suit question by joking with Zelensky that he likes his outfit

One of the most striking things about yesterday’s Zelensky press conference was Lindsey Graham’s reaction to it. The two are old friends, but Graham disavowed him within the hour. This was more than just transactional disloyalty. It was scapegoating. Lindsey Graham knows what’s coming. Over the past three years, with the tacit support of its western patrons, the Ukrainian government has committed a remarkable number of serious crimes. The Ukrainians sold huge quantities of American weapons on the international black market at twenty cents on the dollar. These weapons are now in the hands of armed groups around the world, including Hamas, the Mexican drug cartels and the forces now controlling Syria. God knows what the Ukrainians have done with the pathogens in American biolabs in their country. Even US intel agencies aren’t sure. The Ukrainians have also murdered a number of people in various countries in political assassinations, and tried to murder others, including American journalists and a European head of state. This is all true, and it’s all going to come out at some point. Better to start blaming it on Zelensky now.

Not just the highly educated. Welsh miners formed study groups to read Austen and Dickens. Scottish shepherds built lending libraries. Watchmakers & cabinetmakers taught themselves Greek and Latin. The loss of working-class autodidact culture is one of history's great tragedies.
