🇺🇸 #Oklahoma high school principal (Kirk Moore) seen charging at and disarming a school shooter.
The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Victor Hawkins, was a former student who said he wanted to shoot up the school “like the Columbine shooters did.” While taking down the shooter, Moore was shot in the leg. He is expected to recover.
When the Principal woke up that day, he never thought he would be tackling a gunman.

The early hours of a collapse can feel normal. The power is out, phones aren’t connecting, and the usual rhythm of traffic has gone quiet, while most of your neighbors are still standing on their porches, chatting across fences, half-convinced this will be sorted out by evening. Someone mentions the grocery store closed early.
Another neighbor says the gas station couldn’t process cards. The general mood is slightly inconvenient, at least for now. But you already feel the weight of it, don’t you?
You’ve spent years understanding how thin the margin really is between a functioning society and one that isn’t. You’ve read the case studies, run the numbers, thought through the scenarios most people dismiss as paranoid.

🌾 🇺🇸 👨🌾 U.S. Farm Bankruptcies Surge +46% as Fertilizer Costs Squeeze Farmers:
The American Farm Bureau Federation reported 315 Chapter 12 bankruptcy filings in 2025, up from 216 in 2024 and the third consecutive annual increase.
The Midwest got hit hardest with 121 filings, a +70% jump.
The Southeast followed with 105, up +69%.
Together, those two regions accounted for more than two-thirds of every farm bankruptcy in the country.
Fertilizer prices are pouring gasoline on the fire.
Urea, the most widely used nitrogen fertilizer on the planet, has ripped +87% year-to-date and trades near $720 a tonne.
For corn growers who depend on nitrogen, this is a dire situation.
Many farmers are reporting they will cut the amount of fertilizer they use, shift from corn toward less nitrogen-dependent soybeans, or just take the yield loss.
Farms are under pressure.
