The myth: Dr Atkins, the steak-and-butter man, dropped dead of a heart attack. His own diet got him in the end.
What actually happened: he slipped on an icy pavement outside his Manhattan clinic, cracked his head, and died nine days later of the brain injury. The thing that killed him was a frozen pavement.
Then came the cleanup. A leaked medical examiner's note, handed to the press by a vegetarian campaign group, said he weighed 258 pounds at death. Proof of obesity, they crowed. He had weighed 195 on admission. The other sixty-odd pounds were fluid, pumped into a man who had spent nine days comatose in intensive care. They photographed a balloon and called it a lifestyle.
He did have a weak heart, as it happens, a cardiomyopathy left by a viral infection. His arteries, on the angiogram, ran clean. Even his heart trouble was the opposite of the clogged-artery disease they wanted to blame on his dinner.
None of it touched the diet, in either direction. He fell on some ice. That is the whole story.
But "the meat doctor's heart gave out" travels a great deal faster than "he slipped over in February," which is the only reason you ever heard the first one.
So…..the Florida Chamber of Commerce endorsed Byron Donalds, a candidate who will work on behalf of Trulieve to legalize and control recreational use marijuana in Florida which will drive up automobile insurance rates, health insurance rates, home insurance rates, costs of consumer goods due to lower employee productivity, automobile deaths, unemployment, academic failure rates, DUI arrests, etc.
DON’T BYRON MY FLORIDA !
Hasan Piker, an anchor baby born in New Jersey, was immediately taken back to Turkey, where he was raised and lived until he was 18. He grew up hating America, Christians, and Jews like everyone in Turkey. He came back to the U.S. as an adult to sow chaos.
Aber Kawas was born in New York to Palestinian Muslim parents. She grew up hating America and openly supports Hamas and Islamic jihad, saying America deserved 9/11 because of Islamophobia. She won the Democratic primary for NY State Senate.
Darializa Avila Chevalier was born in Florida to Dominican or Haitian parents. She converted to Islam, claiming that Palestine is the only thing that matters to her. Openly hates the U.S., calling it a disgrace of a country and was part of an organization that calls for its eradication. She won the Democratic primary for Congress in New York.
The enemy within.
Syria (Aleppo) in the 1950s, when 40% of the population was Christian. Today, it is less than 1%. This is the case for all the Middle East under Islam. Funny how no one cares about this real genocide.
During the Iranian Revolution, leftist students, communists, and Muslims were all united in overthrowing the Shah.
The leftists celebrated when Khomeini returned in 1979. They thought they defeated capitalism and imperialism. It didn’t last long.
Around 30,000 leftists who helped the Islamic regime consolidate power were soon executed. That’s where the term “useful idiot” comes from.
They served their purpose and were no longer needed. Muslims had always despised their progressive ideals and couldn’t wait to get rid of them.
One of the women celebrating in the picture was killed, the other fled the country for her life.
It’s bizarre that almost 50 years later, Western leftists are making the exact same mistake and allying with Muslims. They will have the same fate.
UK police officer Luke Salmons attended a mandatory DEI training where external trainers literally walked around the room chanting ‘Islam is a religion of peace’ for several minutes. He asked sincere questions about Gaza and jihad. A Muslim sergeant invited him for coffee afterward. Two days later a fellow officer photographed a book in his locker and reported him. His inspector pulled him aside and told him ‘I don’t like your beliefs’ and suspended him. Eight months of investigation. Gross misconduct charge. Career destroyed. He fought back, won his appeal, won a settlement, and still never got his job back. Christians are being purged from public service in Britain for asking questions
Good graph that shows property tax revenue taken from homeowners rising much higher than increases in population and inflation.
This is nationwide; the effect in Florida is even more dramatic.
Time for a taxpayer revolt!
In 2014, 300 scientists warned Anthony Fauci would start a global pandemic.
Following the high-profile escape of three bugs from U.S. labs, these 300 scientists sent a letter to President Obama, urging him to shut down Anthony Fauci's gain-of-function research.
Obama issued a moratorium and shut down 18 of the worst projects by Anthony Fauci. In the end, he really didn't shut them down. Instead, Obama moved the research offshore to places like Ukraine, the former Soviet State of Georgia, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China.
Now, it is widely accepted that COVID-19 originated from that very lab in Wuhan, China.
Those 300 scientists were right about Fauci…
But the big question is, why are people like him so obsessed with creating dangerous pathogens in the first place? 🧵
Governor DeSantis will be signing his final budget into law this week 😥
This could be the last time Florida will spend less than we did last year.
DeSantis is one of a kind.
This is sheer hatred toward non-Muslims. Radical Islamists in Bangladesh cut down an 900+ year-old banyan tree bcoz Hindus worshipped it. Temples & churches are under attack, & Hindu, Christian, & Buddhist girls are being forced to wear burqa & hijab. But no news in leftist media
A century ago, one in every four big trees in the eastern forests of America was a chestnut, and every autumn the country under them ate for free.
The American chestnut was a giant, a hundred feet tall, and there were close to four billion of them from Maine to the Deep South. Each autumn they dropped a carpet of sweet nuts so thick you raked it up by the sackful. Families roasted them all winter. Hogs and cattle were turned loose in the woods to fatten on them for nothing. Turkey, deer and bear lived off the same mast. The timber, straight and rot-proof, built the barns, the fence posts and the furniture. One tree fed the people, fattened the livestock, carried the wildlife through winter, then built the house.
Then in 1904 a blight arrived on imported Asian chestnut stock, spotted first on the trees at the Bronx Zoo. It moved through the forest at fifty miles a year, and by the 1940s it had killed close to four billion trees, nearly every mature chestnut on the continent. One of the worst ecological catastrophes in the country's history.
Here is the part that should stop you. The tree is not quite dead. The old roots still send up shoots, year after year, that the blight cuts down before they grow tall enough to fruit. A century on, the stumps are still trying, and still failing.
A free harvest that fed a continent every autumn for thousands of years, gone in forty, and still reaching for a sky it will never reach again.
I will never forget the day that DOGE discovered that FEMA was spending $59 MILLION to house illegal aliens in luxury hotels in NYC…
…all while FEMA nearly kicked out 3,000 Americans from THEIR hotel rooms in the dead of winter in Western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene

🚨Esta historia es de terror. Los medios lo han ocultado todo. Ocurrió ayer en Almería (España). Joven ilegal de 21 años entra en una autocaravana con una navaja. Se desnuda. Agrede sexualmente a una chica alemana de que estaba descansando dentro. La golpea brutalmente dejándole la cara desfigurada.
La encontraron gravemente herida y la trasladaron al Hospital Materno Infantil de Almería, activando el protocolo de agresiones sexuales.
La Policía localizó al sospechoso, escondido. Al verse acorralado, corrió hacia el mar y se adentró 100 metros pese al fuerte oleaje y viento.
Empezó a hundirse y a dar síntomas de ahogamiento.
Cinco agentes se lanzaron al agua revuelta para rescatarlo. Lo sacaron con dificultad (el agresor apenas colaboraba) y lo estabilizaron en la arena.
Los cinco policías necesitaron asistencia médica por lesiones durante el rescate.
Solo un periodico local lo ha registrado, porque en España está prohibido informar sobre cualquier cosa que rompa la narrativa pro inmigración masiva del gobierno socialista. Esta son las consecuencias. Que todo el mundo lo sepa.
