That "FBI Intelligence Bulletin" listing pizza = girl, hotdog = boy? It's fake. Made on 4chan in 2016. How can you tell? The FBI is an American agency. The document spells it "colour."
What's actually in the documents is worse than any code word theory.FBI report (EFTA00089603): A mother describes how Epstein visited her daughter's summer arts camp at Interlochen. "EPSTEIN was buying all the kids ice cream." He wasn't using code. He was grooming children with real ice cream.
You know what code Epstein's network actually used? "Massage." That's it. They scheduled girls by name and time slot for "massages." Staff emailed logistics openly. The code was barely a code. The conspiracy theories imagine sophistication. The reality was brazen impunity.

Facing a mental health crisis, NJ school pulls beloved novel from English class
The School District of South Orange & Maplewood's most immediate response to this mental health crisis: it removed Junot Díaz's novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao from a high-level English class at CHS, which serves the suburban towns of South Orange & Maplewood about 15 miles west of New York City. After pushback from parents and students, the district said that parents could sign a permission form to allow their children to study the novel in class – a scenario which PEN America, the group dedicated to free expression, still classifies as a "book ban." The district also said it plans to implement an opt-in mental health screening for all CHS students, as well as shore up its current mental health offerings.

Four Astronauts, One Orbit – What Will They Find?
Unlike Apollo crews, whose orbital paths focused on equatorial regions of the near side for communication and safety reasons, Artemis II’s trajectory could offer a broader, higher-altitude perspective. From roughly 4,000–6,000 miles above the surface, the Orion capsule will reveal the full lunar disk, including polar regions and permanently shadowed areas that rarely receive sunlight.

Are we having the wrong nightmares about generative AI?
The nightmare we should be focusing on is institutional: generative AI breaks long-standing correlations that society uses to infer things like effort, sincerity, authenticity, and credibility. Once these signals erode, we don’t automatically get something better. We scramble to replace the old filters with new ones. And the transition from an old to a new way of doing things can be very costly, even if the old way of doing things wasn’t great.

Secret Service kills armed man at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago after he broke through security perimeter.
An armed intruder has been shot dead after illegally entering President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida early Sunday morning, the US Secret Service has said. The unidentified man in his early 20s was carrying what appeared to be a shotgun and a fuel can at the north gate of the West Palm Beach property at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday and was shot dead by Secret Service agents and a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy, according to a statement put out on social media. President Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago at the time; he is at the White House.

The Left’s Elastic Principles On Judicial Authority
what I want to call attention to here is the fickleness of the Left’s attitude toward the Court. It was not so long ago, when the Supreme Court repeatedly ruled in favor of Trump, that the Dems talked darkly about packing the Court and setting term limits for justices and otherwise made their displeasure known. Remember Chuck Schumer pontificating from the steps of the Court? “I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price,” he said. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.” Threat, or warning? The rule is, if you side with us, we coddle you. Go against our pet projects—climate change, COVID policy, Obamacare, trans-weirdness of any kind, censorship of dis-, mis-, mal-information, etc.—and we try to destroy you.

America's most partisan voters hold the most voting power
Fewer congressional contests are expected to be competitive this fall, compared with past election cycles, and experts say the extraordinary mid-decade redistricting efforts initiated by President Trump are largely to blame. Fewer competitive seats means the overwhelming majority — more than 90% — of congressional races will pretty much be decided during primary elections, which see far fewer voters participate than general elections.

Puerto Vallarta tourists warned to stay put at resort amid Mexico 'clashes'
Tourists at a local resort told Fox News Digital that they were urged to stay put at the resort. They said no reason for exercising the caution was immediately given. The U.S. State Department later issued a travel warning for multiple areas in Mexico on Sunday afternoon, urging U.S. citizens to shelter in place until further notice due to "ongoing security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity."
