Ideally, we will return to the understanding that college is not a minor league sports franchise, but primarily a place for students to discuss hard truths and learn about the world around them.

@ClayTravis 🎯 on this point.

@ClayTravis Enjoy your stuff @ClayTravis , but this is one of the rare times you’re missing the big point.
When filling gas tank goes from $45 to $70 in one month, ordinary Joes/Janes don’t focus on Wall Street - eyes are on essentials bc it squeezes their margin.

Nobody is coming to save you.

Not your insurance company. Not your doctor's 8-minute appointment. Not the FDA.

You are the only person who eats your meals, sleeps your hours, and lives in your body.

Own it completely or suffer the consequences slowly.

@Realrclark25 Please define “polarizing”.
In addition, who decides when this “conversation” is necessary?

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Why do NFL team leaders have a “responsibility” to address a teammate’s political opinions they disagree with, but not a teammate’s felony arrest for beating women? Aren’t violent felony charges far more serious to a team’s reputation? Love to hear your take @1NCRDB1.

@ClayTravis “Whooaaa Nelly!”
Still nothing like it. Miss his voice in college football.

The biggest epidemic in America has no ribbon, no awareness month, and no pharmaceutical solution. It's insulin resistance.

Most people who have it don't know they have it. No obvious symptom. No alarm that goes off.

Just a slow, quiet process where your cells stop responding to insulin — your body starts storing everything as fat, inflaming everything, aging faster.

Hon. Paul Newby, Chief Justice, North Carolina Supreme Court, on the greatest danger to judicial independence:

“Let me tell you the greatest danger — and I haven't figured out a good answer to it — and that's when judges take up positions on policy questions that are coming before the court: ‘vote for me, and I will rule this way.’ When I ran in 2004, I ran on the fact that I will not be a legislator in a black robe. I do not believe somebody died and made me king. I believe in judicial modesty, judicial self-restraint. Frankly, if there's not judicial self-restraint, there is no restraint. And it scares me to death… where folks try to find a policy issue that they think people are supportive of, and they say, ‘vote for me, and I will give you whatever you're looking for from a policy perspective.’”

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

Aging well is not about looking young.

It is about functioning fully.

Getting up from the floor without effort. Carrying your groceries without strain. Keeping up with your kids or grandkids. Thinking clearly. Sleeping deeply. Waking with energy and a reason to get up.

These are the metrics that matter.

The habits that support them are not complicated.

Move your body daily. Eat food that came from the earth. Sleep long enough to feel restored. Manage your stress before it manages you. Invest in the people around you.

You do not have to be perfect at any of them.

You just have to be consistent enough that the compounding effect works in your favor.

@RossHayes Great way to spend quality time!

It feels like it happened overnight, but after decades in the fashion wilderness, jean shorts are back. Every teenage boy in Nashville is wearing them, including my sons. Huge moment for Florida Gator fans everywhere. It’s your time.

[Del Bigtree @delbigtree]

Robert Kennedy Jr. wants to do the most basic thing science can do - compare the health outcomes of vaccinated children to unvaccinated children using the largest medical database in America.

That's it. That's the study. That's the scientific method.

And the American Academy of Pediatrics is suing him to stop it.

Think about what that means. Not content with blocking changes to the vaccine schedule, they are now going to court to prevent an investigation into whether the schedule is actually producing healthy children. The one question the entire program should have been answering for fifty years, and the people who run that program are fighting in federal court to make sure it never gets asked.

This is an industry protecting itself from its own data.

I am not accusing anyone in medicine of malice. I am saying that the long-term health investigation has never been done with the seriousness it deserves, and now that someone is finally trying to do it, there is a worldwide effort to shut it down before it starts.

We have to do this study. We have databases right now, like the Henry Ford Health database, that could give us real answers. Every database in this country should be opened to this investigation. The scientific method demands it. The health of our children demands it.

The only people who have something to fear from the truth are the ones fighting this hard to hide from it.

My YouTube account has risen from the dead.
No reason offered. No email received.
I guess I wasn't in violation after all?

Apparently, all it took was... a kind Congressional staffer to contact YouTube and argue my case.

While I appreciate all they did to restore my channel, it really should not require this.

I'd advise everyone who got their YouTube accounts terminated or demonetized to contact their member of Congress.
Maybe that's the language YouTube understands.

@FrankLuntz Sadly, not surprising at all.
