According to Carlson, “both parties have decided that there’s something about Trump that’s so threatening to them, they just can’t have it.”

The headlines today are all about Donald’s plummeting stock prices, but that’s just scratching the surface.
The real story, the one that’s buried beneath the sensational headlines, is far more intriguing: Truth Social could be a front for a campaign finance scam.
Let me break it down for you:
Direct donations to political candidates are subject to FEC laws, which impose limits on the amount that can be donated and require transparency about the source of donations.
Now that Truth Social is a publicly traded company, however, supporters and even foreign entities have a new, surreptitious way to back Donald financially without having to make a direct political donation.
This is a cause for concern.
Still, today’s developments offer some positive news: without a solid financial foundation, the company’s ability to operate, let alone pose a threat, is significantly compromised.
One thing is certain: our eyes are open. And we’re watching.
Are You Tired of Anti-White Racism?

It’s not enough to know how to think critically… you also have to want to do it.
When I teach critical thinking, I ask students to consider potential harms from falling for false or misleading claims. We make decisions based on our beliefs, impacting our health, our pocketbook, and even how we vote.
It reminds me of the saying, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink.” Well, you can teach someone to think critically, but you can’t make them do it.
Critical thinking is more effortful than autopilot or intuitive thinking. But it’s your best shot at protecting yourself from being fooled.
Comic: Rubes Cartoons
If you want to know if a belief is true, one of the most important first steps is to determine if it’s falsifiable.
Belief in the supernatural, conspiracy “theories”, and strongly held political opinions cannot be proven wrong, no matter how many “facts” you find to support them. (We can always find “evidence” to support what we want to believe if we look hard enough!) If you choose to accept these unfalsifiable beliefs anyway, recognize that they’re not evidence-based.
Instead of looking for evidence that you’re right, determine if the belief is falsifiable. If it is, actively look for evidence to prove yourself wrong. If it’s true, it will withstand scrutiny. But if it’s not true, try to accept the evidence and change your mind. Resist the temptation to protect the belief from disproof by moving the goalposts.
And don’t assume you must be right simply because you can’t be proven wrong.

We don’t see reality as it is, but as our minds shape it. Our perceptions are an interpretation of reality, and are strongly influenced by our prior knowledge, experiences, emotions, motivations, and self-interests. We need others to help us see our blind spots.
(Also, while many love the sounds of singing birds, and assume it means they’re happy, a direct translation would probably be closer to, ”Let’s get it on” or “This is my tree”.
)
DOUBT IS OUR PRODUCT
Certain vested interests have a documented history of confusing the public about established science to avoid regulation and protect their business models.
Their problem is that they don' have the evidence to support their position or disprove the consensus. (If they did, they would certainly provide it.) So instead, they sow doubt. They point out minor uncertainties to claim the “science isn’t settled”, and cherry pick contrarians or fake experts to convince us that there’s no consensus.
For example, the tobacco industry manufactured doubt about the link between smoking and health problems. (See image below.)
And fossil fuel companies used the same strategy, with many of the same think tanks and scientists, to convince the public that the science of human-caused climate change wasn’t “settled”, even though they knew otherwise (link below). A memo from Frank Luntz to President George W. Bush in 2002 stated: “Should the public come to believe that the scientific issues are settled, their views about global warming will change accordingly. Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate.”
Importantly, science denial is motivated by not wanting to accept a strongly-supported scientific conclusion because it’s perceived to conflict with our core beliefs... especially those tied to our identities. Special interest groups lean into the biases and emotions that make us easy targets, and convince us that it’s the scientific community (not them) who’s out to control us. Their game plan only works if we lose trust in reliable sources of information.
The point is, the goal of science denial isn’t to convince the masses that science is wrong (because they can’t), but to sow enough doubt that the public either gets confused or descends into nihilism.
The purveyors of science denial need victims. Don’t let them fool you.

Hi Friends,
I’m hoping you all can do me a solid. When this video became my first to reach 1k views (after about a week), I bet my husband I could reach 10k by the end of the month. (Which is in — checks watch — less than a week.)
I *REALLY* want to win this bet! Please help by giving it a watch, and maybe even a thumbs up!?! (If you have to leave it playing while you do something else, I won’t know the difference.)
If it’s not asking too much, please also consider subscribing!
Thank you!
Melanie

Therefore, you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue in the debate.”
Importantly, science denial is motivated by not wanting to accept a strongly-supported scientific conclusion because it’s perceived to conflict with our core beliefs... especially those tied to our identities. Special interest groups lean into the biases and emotions that make us easy targets, and convince us that it’s the scientific community (not them) who’s out to control us. Their game plan only works if we lose trust in reliable sources of information.
The point is, the goal of science denial isn’t to convince the masses that science is wrong (because they can’t), but to sow enough doubt that the public either gets confused or descends into nihilism.
The purveyors of science denial need victims. Don’t let them fool you.

Hi Friends,
I’m hoping you all can do me a solid. When this video became my first to reach 1k views (after about a week), I bet my husband I could reach 10k by the end of the month. (Which is in — checks watch — less than a week.)
I *REALLY* want to win this bet! Please help by giving it a watch, and maybe even a thumbs up!?! (If you have to leave it playing while you do something else, I won’t know the difference.)
If it’s not asking too much, please also consider subscribing!
Thank you!
Melanie
