🇮🇱 — The Temple Institute has not succeeded in producing a red heifer that meets the religious requirements for sacrifice, despite over twenty years of intensive breeding efforts in both Israel and the United States.
➡️In a recent Facebook post, the Israeli organization admitted that “all our efforts so far have been frustrated by the appearance of more than one non-red hair on all our potential candidates.” This issue has led to the disqualification of all the red heifers, including those brought from Texas, as they do not meet the strict halachic (Jewish legal) criteria.
➡️Jewish law dictates that the red heifer must be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives, directly facing the Temple Mount. This specific location allows the priest conducting the ritual to see into the area of the Holy of Holies, as it is directly east of the Temple site. The ashes from the sacrificed red heifer are essential for ritual purification, a prerequisite for rebuilding the Temple and restarting sacrificial worship. Orthodox Jews affiliated with the Temple Institute believe that the arrival of the Moshiach, or messiah, will follow the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and the reinstatement of these ancient rites.
"In Russia, you would be arrested", von der Leyen tells a protestor as he's being arrested.
We live in truly bizzaro times.

Meet the Unitree A2 — The 'Interstellar Hunter'
Weighing in at 37kg (70lbs), the Unitree A2 can carry a full-grown human, run at 5 meters per second (11.8mph), and climb 1-meter-high (3.3ft) obstacles like it’s nothing. With LiDAR-powered 3D vision, insane balance, and a 20km (12.4 miles) range—this thing is built for real industrial work, not just cool videos.
"Industrial work".... right.
The militarization of robot dogs is on the rise. Even more disturbing is that some of these robots are receiving OpenAI’s ChatGPT upgrades that make them all the more intelligent.
Trump even has some robo dogs at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
The Black Mirror 'Metalhead' episode also comes to mind, check out clip HERE.
The ‘Skynet moment’ is upon us.
🎉 A legacy erased: Happy birthday, George Soros
George Soros turns 95 today, and for his birthday present America brought him the annihilation of his legacy.
Soros has been known for two things: making money and spending it on political influence. Over the last few years, he has handed over control of his empire to his son, Alex, and Alex seems unable to do either of those things successfully.
Alex took control and In December 2021, Alex invested $2 billion to buy nearly 20 million shares of an electric vehicle company called Rivian at somewhere between $70 and $100 per share. It was one of the largest one-off investments the fund had ever made. A year later, Rivian shares were selling for just $18 and Soros Fund Management sold at a loss of what must have been more than $1 billion.
Perhaps related to the massive losses on Rivian, in July 2023 Open Society Foundations announced that it would be laying off 40 percent of its staff worldwide, halting all new grants until February 2024, and ...

“Not-Us Syndrome” is alive and well.
As Richard Susskind noted in 2025, many professionals suffer from what he called the “Not-Us Syndrome” — the belief that automation can and will affect every profession except their own. Among the reactions to the Microsoft paper, this mindset is palpable. A significant share of the responses downplays the data, misinterprets the concept of task alignment, or dismisses the paper outright as irrelevant to their experience.”
