Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV
A little good news
Thanks to Instapundit for pointing out these encouraging stories about Cornell University rejecting demands from snowflake students for “trigger warnings” on class lectures that might potentially give them the vapors…And for a leak of a document given to new hires at the top law firm Paul Hastings, outlining the rigorous, non-negotiable demands of the job that they are required to meet or they’re gone. Welcome to the real world, kids…

Bombshell Report
This morning, the Washington Post ran a bombshell report based on an interview with an alleged unnamed teenage friend of the person who has been leaking highly sensitive and damaging classified US military and foreign policy documents onto the Internet.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/04/12/discord-leaked-documents/
The source calls the leaker “OG” and claims he is the leader of their online gun enthusiast group and that he brought the documents home from his job on a military base. He apparently started sharing these secrets with his tight online circle of friends during the pandemic to “keep them in the loop” about world affairs and secret government operations. The source says the leaker is not Russian or a Russian partisan, or an Edward Snowden-style whistleblower, nor is he trying to harm America’s interests, although the leaks certainly have. Here are some of the biggest revelations so far:
Naturally, this has given rise to many questions, like how did this person gain access to so many damaging, top secret documents, take them home, and post them on the Internet for months without being detected and arrested? If WaPo was able to find someone who knows him, why haven’t all our high-powered intelligence agencies been able to identify and stop him? Have they been too distracted with trying to jail Donald Trump, January 6th protesters, pro-life activists and concerned parents to do their real job of protecting America from actual threats?
Another thing worth pointing out: experts say the release of classified documents that can reveal confidential sources in foreign nations can get people killed. Yes, that’s why it was such a big deal when Hillary Clinton handled them in such a cavalier fashion, but our intelligence agencies didn’t seem to care about that, either. They only seem to worry about classified documents getting out when they're under lock and key at Mar-A-Lago.
It appears that the biggest government secret that’s been revealed is just how politicized and incompetent our intelligence and security agencies have become, and how far they’re gone off track from their real mission. It reminds me of what was reportedly one of John Kennedy’s favorite jokes:
Did you hear about the Russian who got 30 years in prison for standing outside the Kremlin and yelling, “Khrushchev is an idiot!”? He got 10 years for insulting Khrushchev and 20 years for revealing state secrets.
