5⃣UNITE THE RIGHT

F-37, a member of the leadership chat for the Charlottesville rally in 2017, made racist posts under an SPLC employee's supervision and arranged transport for others to attend the rally. SPLC paid this person $300K.

More human beings have died of dysentery and the diarrhoeal diseases beside it than of almost any other cause in the history of the species.

Not war. Not famine. Not the great named plagues that get the documentaries. A bacterial infection of the gut that turns the bowels to bloody water and empties a person out until there is nothing left to give.

It is the quiet killer running underneath all of history. In nearly every war ever fought, until distressingly recently, disease killed more soldiers than the enemy did, and the disease, more often than not, was dysentery. Armies dug their latrines upstream of their own drinking water and then wondered why they were dying. It killed in the camps, the prisons, the slums, and above all the nurseries. For most of human history, the child who reached the age of five had already beaten the thing most likely to kill it, and the thing was, overwhelmingly, the runs.

Then, over the last hundred and fifty years or so, we beat it. Not with diet. With plumbing.

Clean water. Sewers that ran away from the wells instead of into them. Refrigeration. Soap. Antibiotics for when all of that failed, and vaccines for the other killers sitting alongside it. This is where the famous rise in life expectancy actually comes from. Not from anyone eating more sensibly. From engineering, sanitation, and medicine dragging the infant mortality rate down through the floor, so that the average lifespan, which had always been held low by all those dead children, could finally climb.

Here is the part worth sitting with.

Of all the things that added decades to human life over the last century, the modern diet is not one of them. The dietary advice that arrived in the 1970s did not extend anyone's life. It turned up after the hard work was already done, and took the credit anyway. Over the very same decades that sanitation and antibiotics were adding years, the food was quietly taking them back, in the form of an explosion of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease that our great-grandparents, for all their dysentery, simply did not have.

We solved the thing that killed people fast. We are still living, every single day, with the thing that kills people slowly.

Progress rarely happens on all fronts at once. We got very good indeed at not dying young of infection, and we have spent that hard-won breathing room inventing an entirely new way to be unwell.

The plumbing saved you. The food guidelines just stood next to it in the photograph.

Holy.

@SJSU knowingly recruited a man to give them a competitive edge. The coach lied & hid it from the team.

He went as far as to say anyone who disagrees with his allowance to play "needs to get therapy & leave SJSU."

🚨 CALIFORNIA'S ELECTION SYSTEM IS A JOKE 🚨

Steve Hilton: “You're sending out mail ballots to every single person on a voting roll that is wildly inaccurate.”

“The whole thing is a joke, just like pretty much everything else they try and do here.”

DISGUSTING

Parents, BEWARE

[C3 @C_3C_3]

There is literally nothing California could do to make their elections less secure.

Mail in ballots and No ID.

Weeks of counting with no real chain of custody.

The fraud is staggering.

It’s an insult to America.
It’s an insult to Americans.

The U.S. military was the last redoubt the leftists needed to conquer to control our society.

They almost did it. Under Obama/Biden they turned the Pentagon into the Alamo. The DEI Marxists were swarming the walls, and a lot of them got inside the perimeter.

A LOT OF THEM.

But unlike the Alamo, this time reinforcements came in the nick of time.

The military was the last institution they needed to conquer to achieve total Marxist dominance over our entire nation.

THEY WERE SO CLOSE.

But then Pete Hegseth and his team came riding over the hill, defeated the attackers, and drove off the ones who got inside the walls.

The fact that they were so close to having it all, only to lose it all, is why we see so much wailing and gnashing of teeth today from the Pentagon “press.”

It’s glorious.

This claim by the Center for the Study of Federalism is incorrect:

"The states’ rights theory was first set forth in the late eighteenth century by Thomas Jefferson, then vice president of the United States, and James Madison, then a representative from Virginia."

The core ideas of states' rights are limited federal powers, state sovereignty, and resistance to centralization. These were fiercely debated a decade earlier during ratification debates. Anti-Federalists like Patrick Henry, George Mason, and "Brutus" warned that the Constitution would destroy state independence.

Jefferson & Madison's 1798–99 Kentucky & Virginia Resolutions were an important formalization (especially for "interposition"), but they didn't invent the theory. It predates them.

How will they have credibility on a topic when they get basic history and timelines wrong.

@ricksapp Very good point, he is an intractable, imperceptive moron. I will stop responding to him, though rarely have I in the past.

[Doctor Copper @DoctorCopper]

@jjfThompson @OldNewYork1664 When you don't understand the concept of state sovereignty, you ask stupid questions like OldKnickers did. Implicit in that question he asks is that the right to do whatever had to be justified to a supreme authority. But there was no supreme authority above the states.

On February 18, 1861, Jefferson Davis was inaugurated as the Confederate President in the capital of Montgomery, Alabama. In his inaugural address, he never mentioned slavery, even though Lincoln did, vowing to forever protect it inside the Union.

Davis spoke of what the South was truly trying to achieve: "An agricultural people, whose chief interest is the export of a commodity required in every manufacturing country, our true policy is peace, and the freest trade which our necessities will permit." Lincoln wouldn't allow it.
