Zohran Mamdani, a self-described socialist and Democratic NYC mayoral candidate, is embroiled in controversy after a report revealed he marked "Asian" and "Black or African American" on his 2009 Columbia University application. Born in Uganda to Indian parents, Mamdani says he was reflecting his Indian-Ugandan heritage. Critics, including Mayor Eric Adams, accuse him of misusing affirmative action, while supporters call it a political attack. The debate fuels scrutiny of Mamdani, who attended Bowdoin College, as he campaigns against Adams and others, highlighting tensions around identity and racial classification.

What do you think of Mamdani's decision? Do you think it was justified, or was he abusing the system? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments. ⬇️

Prepare yourself for a star-spangled chuckle! A Gallup poll reveals that patriotism is taking a bit of a nosedive among Democrats, with only 36% feeling "extremely" or "very" proud to be American—down from 62% last year. Republicans, on the other hand, are practically bursting with red, white, and blue pride at a 91% rating, while independents are just... mildly proud, like they’re not sure if they’re at a BBQ or a budget meeting. The overall national pride score hit a record low of 58%, which is like the country collectively saying, “Eh, America’s cool, I guess.” Young folks are especially grumpy, probably too busy scrolling X to wave a flag. So, as we light fireworks and grill hot dogs, it seems some Americans are feeling more “meh-pendence” than independence. Happy 4th, anyway!

If you are a citizen of the USA, are you feeling patriotic this year? Is patriotism important, or irrelevant? Let us hear your thoughts in the comments below. ⬇️

People Are Not Gluten Intolerant, They’re Poison Intolerant...

🥖 Joe Rogan Calls Out American Bread…

“Our bread is so fcked — We're fcking poisoned”…

“In America what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain

About 200 years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber in nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead

Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize

Therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity and inflammation.

But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas

The bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK and even China

Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut

So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired and blamed gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat.

The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread.”

You just want normal food? Well, you will have to grow it…

Otherwise, enjoy your daily poison…

Why Are People So Obedient? The Problem of Compliance

In the privacy of our minds, many of us disagree with the ideologies, political agendas, and government mandates of our day, yet in public we comply. We do what we are told, say what is politically correct, and justify our hypocrisy by telling ourselves that we are powerless to change society. The truth is, each of us has far more power to influence society than we have been led to believe, and it's our disbelief that results in the perpetuation of tyrannical rulership.
