@WallStreetApes It’s Walmart. They force the companies to have the products meet certain prices in order to have the premium shelf space. Chef Boyardee came out with “throw back” Ravioli. Amazing. But $.30 higher. Only out for a few months.

[Forest Park Pharmacy @ForestParkPharm]

My wife and I own Forest Park Pharmacy, and we don't accept insurance. None of it. That decision is exactly why we could fix what happened to a patient today.

A family came in wanting to transfer their kid's antibiotic to us. The child had already STARTED the course. Then, mid-treatment, the insurance company decided the last 14 tablets suddenly needed a "prior authorization" before the other pharmacy could hand them over. A sick kid, halfway through an antibiotic, and the answer was "please hold."

The drug is linezolid. It's a generic. It's been generic for over a decade. It treats serious gram-positive infections — the kind you do NOT want to stop antibiotics in the middle of, because an interrupted course is how you breed resistant bugs and end up right back where you started.

So why the hold-up on a cheap, common generic? Follow the fake math.

Insurance and the PBMs behind them price drugs off a number called AWP — "Average Wholesale Price." People in my industry have another name for it: "Ain't What's Paid." It's a benchmark number, not a real-world cost. On paper, the AWP for just those last 14 tablets is about $2,500.

My cash price for the same 14 tablets? $18.

Read that again. The system that's supposedly "protecting" this family from cost is the same system that inflated an $18 medication into a $2,500 line item, then slapped a prior auth on it to "review the expense" THEY invented. They manufactured the problem, then billed everyone for the privilege of solving it — and made a sick kid wait while they did it.

This is the whole game. When a drug is priced honestly, there's nothing to "manage." When it's priced off a fantasy benchmark, you get spread pricing, PA paperwork, pharmacy phone trees, and delayed treatment — all dressed up as cost control.

Here's the part nobody tells you: roughly 90% of prescriptions are low-cost generics. For the vast majority of what people pick up every day, running it through insurance does two things — raises the real cost and risks delaying your care. That's it. That's the value-add.

That's why we fired the insurance companies. No middleman deciding your kid can't finish their antibiotics on schedule. No fake prices. Just the real number, on the shelf, today.

The medication was always cheap. The insurance was the expensive part.

WOAH 🚨 Real report released from the Federal Reserve finds 30% of the cost of increase in home prices and 20% of rent increases ARE DUE TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

No longer a conspiracy theory. “We just saw a study from the Federal Reserve just last week finding that 30% of the increase in home values across the country in metropolitan areas are due to illegal immigration”

Just think about that, you already can’t afford a home and now they’re 30% more expensive because illegals flooded America under Biden

You already can’t afford rent but you’re paying 20% more because illegals flooded America under Biden

Again, these are increases for the average metro areas from early 2021 to early 2024. Under Biden’s Presidency

The second Democrats gain power this starts back up and rent and homes get even more expensive

My son,

One day, when you're older, you will come across this post and this video of the two of us walking up into the mountains.

I hope you watch it more than once.

We always begin the same way. You go bounding off ahead, certain the whole mountain belongs to you, and for a little while it does.

Then the path gets steep.

The air gets thinner and your legs get tired.

You stop, you turn, and you look back at me and say: Dad, is the view really worth it?

I will tell you a secret.

I ask myself the same question.

I'm climbing my own mountains you can't see yet, fighting things I hope you never have to fight, and some days the weight of it all feels like more than I can carry.

Mom and I both put on a brave face, but it isn't always brave underneath.

There are mornings I feel I am carrying the whole mountain rather than walking up it.

But that's not a flaw in you or me, it just is what the journey is.

You will meet climbs that burn your legs, there will be days when every step asks more than you think you have, and there will be MANY MANY times when turning back seems the only sensible thing thing to do

...don't be ashamed of wanting to.

Everyone wants to turn back.

But WANTING to turn back, and not doing it... well my son, that is the stuff strength is made of.

There will be days when everything feels uphill. When the world feels unfair, and you’ll wonder why it has to be so hard.

The summit will never stoop to meet you and the path cannot be talked into being shorter.

What changes... what is changing in you even now while you're reading this, and especially on days that feel like nothing but insane amount of work and heartache...

...is YOU.

You are the thing that grows.

The world stays gloriously, stubbornly large, and you rise to meet it.

So climb.

Not because it is easy, but because you were made for the climbing.

And when at last you stand in the high place with the wind in your face and the whole green country spread beneath you, you will understand something that cannot be told to a man but only shown to him: that every aching step was a kind of payment, and the view was the thing it had been buying all along.

It will not feel like a reward.

It will feel like coming home to a country you have never been to, and somehow always missed.

I will be there.

Lower on the trail by then, most likely.

Slower. Catching my breath against a stone.

But I will be watching you go up, and there will be no prouder man on the entire freaking mountain than me... the man who is proud of the boy who simply will not stop putting one foot in front of the other.

Keep climbing, son.

I am always on the trail.

I love you,
Dad

@farsaid_fenius @JamesDueck @USCCB @Pontifex Great idea!! If US Catholics would each throw in $20, it would be plenty to get it going.

@DeepBlueCrypto @cafreiman And he envied those with financial success, but did not himself want to work. Pride, envy, sloth….

@DianeHutchings1 @DavidJHarrisJr Have you tried paying them to move out? If you know they need to go because they are broke, paying them to leave is often works.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

In 2016, Del Bigtree convinced a top infectious disease doctor to do something public health has avoided for decades: conduct a study comparing the health outcomes of vaxxed vs. unvaxxed children.

Dr. Marcus Zervos vowed to publish the results no matter what.

The results were devastating for the vaccinated, and Dr. Zervos ultimately chose not to publish the study.

When confronted about it, he said bluntly: “Publishing something like that, I might as well retire. I’d be finished.”

Here’s what the study revealed:

• Vaccinated children were 4.29 times more likely to have asthma.

• Three times higher risk for atopic diseases (like eczema).

• Nearly six times higher risk for autoimmune disorders, a category that includes more than 80 different diseases.

• 5.5 times higher risk for neurodevelopmental disorders.

• 2.9 times more motor disabilities.

• 4.5 times more speech disorders.

• Three times more developmental delays.

• Six times more acute and chronic ear infections.

• Among nearly 2,000 unvaccinated children, there were zero cases of ADHD, diabetes, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, intellectual disabilities, tics, or other psychological disorders.

The study’s conclusion was equally striking. It states: “[I]n contrast to our expectations, we found that exposure to vaccination was independently associated with an overall 2.5-fold INCREASE in the likelihood of developing a chronic health condition when compared to children unexposed to vaccination.”

When science uncovers an inconvenient result, it often gets buried, or the data is twisted until it produces the outcome “The Science” wants.

How do you think Vioxx, a migraine and arthritis pain drug, made it to market?

An estimated 100,000 people died before the manufacturer (Merck) finally decided it was too dangerous to keep prescribing.

And Vioxx wasn’t an isolated case.

Roughly 1 in 3 drugs approved by the FDA get pulled or receive a major safety warning LONG AFTER they get prescribed to millions of people.

If Vioxx could be approved without the danger being flagged during trials, what else is on the market today that people assume is safe?

Perhaps the most important question is: how do they get away with rigging these trials in the first place? 🧵

@EQuinones6310 @CindyThink4 I read a story like this when Russian leaders came to visit and couldn’t believe our stores. They thought they were staged to give the appearance of being plentiful. So they were taken to another grocery store nearby. It blew the lid off the propaganda even they believed.

[America the Beautiful @InPrincipoerat]

@StarryMessenge2 @AaronKheriatyMD @jbronitsky With you until vaccines. Manipulating part of our immune system while also injecting highly toxic substances and foreign dna is not the way to better health. Perhaps a few-but not the dozens surrently on the list and hundreds in the process of being made.

[America the Beautiful @InPrincipoerat]

@jeffreytucker Glad you are able to admit it now. Thank you. That’s more than many who will continue to deny.

[America the Beautiful @InPrincipoerat]

@LGgentilette @Xtopher_Uzo Matthew 16:19. Jesus give Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven- Confirmation, Confession, and Governance. Up until the early 1900’s ALL Christian denominations believed in transubstantiation! In any event, impressive list and it is all true!

@WallStreetApes It’s the food. My sister in law is not from the US. When she moved here 20 years ago, everyone in her country/city was thin. Then American fast food chains came in since then. Now she said when she travels back, they are all fat now.

@RussLarson @JeremyTate41 When homeschooling our kids for a couple years within a co-op, I learned so much about Christian history. My eyes were opened to how history should be taught. Yes, it is a religion, but we cannot exclude teaching about it without excluding our most important history.

@MrPool_QQ 😐 <—- my not surprised face.

[America the Beautiful @InPrincipoerat]

@thefacialdiva @alannawilgus57 @MrPool_QQ Not an expert* but, the mineral based sunscreens block physically with larger particulars which have to stay on the skin to work. Not to say they can’t contain harmful chemicals. There are websites/apps that you can look up specific products on for toxicity.

[America the Beautiful @InPrincipoerat]

@ourptrights @MaryBowdenMD Unfortunately, unless you can prove harm and show damages, they can administer whatever they want and there is no recourse. This happened during Covid when kids were given shots against parents written consent against it. No harm, no foul as they say…
