🇺🇸 AMERICANS ARE DODGING BOOKS, AND SMARTPHONES ARE THE CULPRIT

Americans are reading less, and surprise, surprise: your smartphone is the prime suspect!

Constant notifications and dopamine-packed content make books feel like the broccoli of entertainment.

Gen Z doesn’t even see reading as “important” anymore.

And it’s not just phones. Schools are assigning snippets instead of novels, so kids aren’t building reading stamina.

Add in endless streaming and social media, and it’s a perfect storm of distraction.

The result? We’re skipping the brain-boosting, stress-reducing, life-lengthening benefits of books.

Want to change that? Put the phone down and pick up a book. Your brain will thank you.

Twelve rounds, three judges, one clear winner: Oleksandr Usyk.

The Ukrainian champ schooled Tyson Fury in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, for the second time in seven months, earning a unanimous 116-112 decision on all cards.

Fury swung, missed, and slumped as Usyk’s footwork and precision dominated.

Once again, the Gypsy King’s talk couldn’t match the action in the ring.

With this victory, Usyk remains the unified heavyweight champion, fending off Fury’s attempts at redemption.

🚨🇺🇸 EXPOSED: FAKE TRUMP "HATE" CRIME AT COLLEGE

A Rhodes College student confessed to staging 13 fake racist messages, including "slurs" and “Trump Rules,” near the Black Greek organizations’ plaza over Thanksgiving break, aiming to frame Trump supporters.

The messages, including “Trump Rules,” were treated as hate speech due to their placement alongside racial slurs and vandalism targeting Black students, creating the impression of politically motivated harassment.

This sparked a full-blown hate crime investigation until Memphis police confronted the student, who admitted to fabricating the entire scenario.

The school is now pursuing “all legal avenues” against the student, citing the “enormous pain” caused by this staged act of divisive propaganda.

🚨🇺🇸 DETROIT MOM GETS $33 MILLION BILL FOR ASKING QUESTIONS?!

Elizabeth Clair, a Detroit mom, filed a public records request with her school district for emails about “anti-retaliation” policies.

Instead of transparency, she got slapped with a $33 million bill—yes, million—and a $16.5 million deposit demand.

Apparently, asking questions comes at CEO prices now.

The district claims it would take an employee 400 years to sort through 21.5 million emails.

Clair, understandably, called the fee “absurd.” Her scaled-back request still cost over $1,000, which feels like a polite way of saying, “Don’t bother.”

She’s not alone. Another mom, Jessica Opfer, got a $25 million price tag for asking why the district dropped a curriculum.

The district says this covers redacting private info, but parents think it’s a fancy way of dodging accountability.

Clair:

"As taxpayers in the community, as parents who send our kids and entrust our children to these institutions every day, I think everything should be transparent.

I fail to understand why this district puts up such a fight against us.'

It just leads me to think, what are they hiding?"

Lyedja Santos, 19, brought chaos to Berilo Wanderley High School in Natal, a city in northeastern Brazil, by shooting an 18-year-old classmate in the head before her .38 revolver jammed as she tried to target a teacher.

Luckily, a brave student tackled her, stopping what could’ve been a massacre.

When police searched Santos, they found the gun, three knives, and books about serial killers.

She also left a melodramatic note about wanting “peace” and asking for forgiveness.

Santos:

"I acted alone, I acquired everything on my own and no one knew anything about it.

To my friends and family, I thank you for everything you have done for me and I am sorry for everything I have caused.

I loved each and every one of you, even if I didn't show it.

I hope you understand and forgive me, because that is the only way I will find peace."

"As of this morning, the Air Force attacked strategic Houthi targets in the port of Hodeidah and deep inside Yemen.

We did this in response to the Houthis' repeated attacks on civilian targets in Israel. Last night, they attacked a school in Ramat Gan.

They are not just attacking us - they are attacking the entire world. They are attacking international shipping and trade routes.

Thus, when Israel acts against the Houthis, it is acting for the entire international community. The Americans understand this well, and so do many others.

After Hamas, Hezbollah and the Assad regime in Syria, the Houthis are almost the last remaining arm of Iran's evil axis.

They are learning, and they will learn the hard way, that whoever harms Israel pays a very heavy price for it."

This comes as the league pulls in over $20 billion annually, and its billionaire owners are more than capable of footing the bill.

🚨 ELON’S MONTESSORI SCHOOL: STEM, SNACKS, AND ZERO “WOKE PROPAGANDA”

Elon’s latest project isn’t a rocket, a tunnel, or a meme—it’s Ad Astra, a Montessori school near Bastrop, about 30 miles southeast of Austin, Texas, where kids ages 3 to 9 can learn STEM skills, solve problems, and snack on carrots and hummus.

The school sits on 40 acres of land near his other ventures, including SpaceX and The Boring Co., conveniently located for employees’ kids—or Elon’s own ever-growing fleet of offspring.

A 4,000-square-foot house is being converted into a classroom for up to 21 students, with a focus on hands-on learning, outdoor play, and “authentic Montessori” methods.

While tuition will be subsidized at first, parents can eventually expect private-school price tags.

Elon, who’s made his views on education crystal clear, wants fewer kids growing up to become political science majors and more learning “useful” trades like engineering or plumbing.

This isn’t Elon’s first swing at schooling—he started a similar Ad Astra school in California back in 2014 and has childcare centers popping up near SpaceX facilities.

But his Texas version lines up neatly with his growing political influence, where he’s pushing back on diversity and inclusion efforts and aligning himself with Trump’s education agenda.

For now, Ad Astra promises to raise the next generation of “builders and problem solvers,” because if there’s one thing Elon loves, it’s creating the future—preferably one STEM project at a time.
