We don’t even know what we don’t know. The Tim Heidecker Podcast will never hide the truth. Watch now on InfoWars.
Four individuals are sitting in a recording studio, wearing headphones and speaking into microphones. The text overlay includes: 

1. "They're suppressing it for sure. There's some suppression that's taking place."
2. "I just read—I think we know something like, 80% of the information that they do have is being classified."
3. "It's fucking crazy."
4. "Dude, the fucking shit that's been classified. Like, dude, you don't even know half of it."

Just in general, I hope you remain uncowed by people taking an ideological position (what position isn't?) and then trying to shut you down by saying you are.

Okay, I propose a slogan for this: "Janky until proven functional, period." And note that that assumes HIGH standards for functionality, established in the specific use case.

Taikonaut Dr. Liu Yang was the first Chinese woman to travel into space, 2012. #WorldSpaceWeek🚀 In 2022, Liu returned to orbit on Shenzhou 14, helping build the Tiangong Space Station & performing a historic spacewalk. She is also a military transport pilot. She was born #OTD in 1978. #WomenInSTEM
A portrait of Chinese taikonaut Dr. Liu Yang (born 1978), historic space pioneer and the first Chinese woman in space, appearing in her formal spacesuit assembly. The medium close-up shot focuses on her face as she glances off-camera to the left with a subtle, serene smile and clear, focused eyes, creating a calm and determined mood. She is securely fitted into her white intravehicular spacesuit, which features a heavy metal helmet locking ring resting on her collarbones, complete with metal clasps and a blue name badge reading "刘洋 / Yang Liu". Wrapped tightly over her head is a dark, functional communication cap fitted with earphones and an integrated black adjustable boom microphone positioned directly in front of her mouth. The background is a solid, warm brown wooden paneling that isolates the subject, drawing total attention to the tech-heavy gear and her calm demeanor. The composition highlights her historical significance as a symbol of human spaceflight exploration and a trailblazer for women in science and aviation.

Public schools should not indoctrinate students, discriminate against families who don’t share their beliefs, or force taxpayers to fund religion. They must remain secular and open to all.

Biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert developed the Purified Protein Derivative in the 1930s that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide by 1952. Before her work, TB skin tests were inconsistent/unreliable.It remains the basis for the TB skin test used today. Born #OTD in 1897. #WomenInSTEM
A vintage black-and-white studio portrait features biochemist Dr. Florence Seibert (1900–1991), famed for developing the Purified Protein Derivative (PPD) that standardized tuberculosis testing worldwide. Captured from the chest up, she poses in a three-quarter turn while looking directly at the camera with a subtle, intelligent smile, establishing a serene, professional, and historically significant mood. Her dark hair is styled in a classic 1920s short bob featuring prominent finger waves framing her forehead. She wears delicate, rimless spectacles and a light-colored blouse designed with a prominent collar and soft ruffled detailing along the edges. The composition employs soft-focus lighting typical of early 20th-century photography, casting gentle highlights across her face against a smooth, dark, non-descript studio backdrop. In the bottom right corner, a faint, embossed photographer's stamp adds an authentic period touch to this archival image celebrating a foundational figure in medicine.

Below it, a quote tweet from Canada Hates Trump (@AntiTrumpCanada) reads: "The biggest fucking fraudster in American history who's pardoned hundreds of fraudsters and appoints fraudsters to run the government, says what??"
