I think the majority of Americans, dare I say the world, don’t understand propaganda and need to seriously study it: its methods and characteristics. The government has been deducting a psyop and manufacturing hate for decades. Listen, if you think that the WTC fell at nearly free fall speed, because of a little jet fuel at the top of the skyscraper scraper, I can sell water 💧 to a whale.

Beef costs nearly 8% more than a year ago, and the US cattle herd hit a 75-year low this year. The New York Post wants to blame gym bros and GLP-1 users.

Read the whole article though. One woman on a GLP-1 said she's happy to pay more for steak because she's saving money by not buying snacks and sweets anymore.

That's the part the headline missed. Quit buying junk and use that money to buy steak!

And the bodybuilder in the story buys 93/7 ground beef to avoid the fat. Next time you're at the store, look at the price of 70/30 right next to it...

Saturated fat was supposed to clog your arteries. A brand new randomized trial just put that to the test.

Researchers in Norway assigned 193 adults with obesity to one of three diets for up to 2 years. One was low-carb with about 30% of energy from saturated fat. That's 3 times the 10% cap in the Dietary Guidelines. The other two were higher-carb, guideline-style diets.

On the high saturated fat diet, triglycerides dropped 20 to 35% and HDL rose 5 to 18%. On the higher-carb diets those stayed fairly flat.

LDL went up 5 to 10%, mostly the large, buoyant particles. ApoB did not go up significantly. Small dense LDL did not go up significantly. And CT scans at 12 months showed no difference in coronary artery calcium between the diets.

The lead researcher said the study "challenges the contention that a higher intake of saturated fat has an inherent negative impact of overall disease risk."

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The UAE, a close US and Israeli ally, is quietly helping Ansarallah (Houthis) fight Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces, four sources have told Drop Site. This comes after Riyadh forced the UAE out of Yemen last December following clashes between their rival Yemeni allies in the south.

Key findings:

➤ UAE-aligned Yemeni forces have given Ansarallah targeting help while Abu Dhabi looked the other way. Two sources said the UAE has also shared intelligence directly.

➤ The assistance is limited to targets inside Yemen, not Saudi Arabia, according to some sources. One source said a senior US official warned the UAE to stop, but sources indicated the assistance was ongoing.

➤ Commanders in the Giants Brigades, a predominantly Salafi militia from the south, have repeatedly abandoned positions without a fight, while UAE-backed southern separatist commanders have refrained from fighting Ansarallah on key fronts, a Yemeni source said.

Senior Ansarallah official Mohammed al-Bukhaiti denied the assistance, citing UAE “neutrality,” but said Riyadh could avoid “the possibility of a future Yemeni-Emirati alliance against it” by ending the war and lifting the blockade. The STC separatists denied contact with Ansarallah or unwillingness to fight it in the south. The UAE ambassador to Washington did not respond to requests for comment.

I get criticized by MAGA Republicans for criticizing Trump. But if Republicans don't criticize Trump, then the only criticism will come from Democrats. But Democrats criticize Trump for the wrong reasons. Letting Democrats define Trump undermines the Republican cause.

I criticize Trump for being too much like Democrats. Republicans need to draw a contrast between the failed big-government policies of Trump and Democrats and the true free-market, limited-government policies that should define the party.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

No one takes seriously the words of US- and Saudi-linked enemies of Iran-Pakistani relations. With oil wealth collapsing, the days of US-controlled, Saudi-funded takfiri terror are darkening too. The Yemeni armed forces stood by Gaza; the Saudis stood by Trump. Choose your side.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

The Sept. U.S. trade deficit in goods was $134.9 billion, the highest ever recorded in Sept. There were only three months in history when the deficit was higher, all under Trump in 2025.

Here are the facts. Measured by the size of our trade deficits, Trump has been the worst president in history on trade. The tariffs have been a complete failure. Not only have they failed to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., but the U.S. is now more dependent than ever on foreign producers. Not only are we importing more than ever, but we are now paying Trump's tariffs on those imports.

Trump says trade deficits represent a loss. Judged by his own standard, Trump is the biggest loser in the history of the presidency. Also, if the economy is booming as Republicans claim, why have our trade deficits gone way up? Why are the trade deficits under Trump so much larger than they were under Biden, when, according to Trump, we had the worst economy in U.S. history?

Here are the facts. When you compare Trump's first two years to Biden's last two, GDP growth and job creation are slower, inflation is higher, and budget and trade deficits are bigger. If Trump is right that under Biden we had the worst economy in history, and the Trump economy is objectively worse on all counts, then the Trump economy is now the worst economy in history.

☑️Locate Starlink users exact locations
☑️Identify the users, in some cases.

🇲🇽 A MEXICAN TEENAGER BUILT A FIRE EXTINGUISHER THAT USES SOUND INSTEAD OF WATER OR CHEMICALS

A student created “Vortex Tech,” a portable prototype that uses low-frequency sound waves around 30 Hz to disrupt the air feeding small flames.

In tests, it put out small fires in roughly 5 to 8 seconds.

She built it with her adviser and uncle after getting inspired by a sonic-cannon concept.

It’s still an experimental prototype for small fires, but a teenager from Mexico turned bass into a fire extinguisher 😮

Eating carbs last does work. In one study of people with type 2 diabetes, having the protein and vegetables 10 minutes before the carbs cut the glucose rise by about half compared with eating the carbs first, and insulin was lower too. But that's a workaround. The bigger change is eating fewer of the carbs in the first place, and that's what people with diabetes should hear first.

Since Trump’s election:

-Musk got $680 billion richer
-Musk became the 1st trillionaire
-SpaceX got $10 billion in federal contracts
-Tesla & SpaceX paid $0 in federal income taxes

Now, Musk’s spending $442 million to keep Republicans in control of Congress.

Gee, I wonder why?

turns out this is complete and utter bullshit

[Ken D Berry MD @KenDBerryMD]

Breast cancer cells are LOADED with insulin receptors. That's important to know for preventing/treating it. Why? Read on...

In 159 breast tumors, insulin receptor content was more than 6 times higher than in normal breast tissue. And the receptors worked: they bound insulin and switched on.

Many cancer cells favor a form of the insulin receptor (IR-A) that acts mainly as a growth signal, not a sugar-handling one. Insulin tells these cells to grow.

So what happens when insulin runs high?

512 women with early breast cancer had fasting insulin checked. Highest vs lowest quarter: 2x the distant recurrence, 3.1x the death rate.

In the Women's Health Initiative, researchers measured insulin in about 1,650 postmenopausal women drawn from a cohort of 93,676. In women not on hormone therapy, the top quarter of insulin had 2.4x the breast cancer risk. And the obesity link mostly faded once insulin was accounted for.

Few doctors check fasting insulin. Fewer still know that Low-carb/Keto/Carnivore is the most direct way to bring it down. I've made videos on this (see below).

If high insulin goes with more breast cancer AND worse outcomes, why isn't fasting insulin part of every breast cancer workup?

here's my AI cybersecurity apocalypse white pill.

I've been fixing bugs in leftover human code non-stop for over a year now. literally cleaning up years of human slop.

at the same time, i've been building fully AI-written complex software which I regularly review with AI the same way that I'm reviewing the human code.

the difference is like day and night. good models don't just find the bugs, they also produce far fewer bugs.

the difference between a big project written exclusively by modern frontier models and one written by a dozen engineers is just incredible.

all those little obscure mistakes that humans overlook are mostly absent. if you take care of your project, the code quality can be great and there's almost no accumulation of weird edge cases that sneak in inevitably over the course of multiple years of working on a code base with a team of humans.

makes me very optimistic about the future.
