Staffers for Seattle Socialist Mayor Katie Wilson abruptly end an interview with KOMO News Senior Reporter Chris Daniels when she can't answer basic questions
Wilson has been criticized for dodging the press & being unable to answer basic questions since she came into office
this should make every man in this country lose his fucking mind:
your annual physical costs $300. your doctor spends 13 minutes with you. he orders a basic metabolic panel and maybe a lipid panel. total lab cost to the lab: about $12. billed to insurance at $800. your testosterone test, if he even runs one, is total testosterone only. one number. he compares it to a reference range that includes 80 year old men on dialysis. you fall "within range" at 340 ng/dL at age 29. he says you're fine. visit over
a self-ordered panel through a direct lab company costs $150 out of pocket. no appointment. no referral. no 6-week wait. walk into any Quest or Labcorp location tomorrow morning. results in 48 hours on your phone
that $150 panel gives you:
free testosterone (the only form your body uses)
SHBG (the protein binding your testosterone and making it useless)
estradiol sensitive (if this is high your testosterone is being converted to estrogen)
DHT (the androgen responsible for drive, confidence, and sexual function)
prolactin (if elevated it's suppressing everything downstream)
free T3 and free T4 (your actual thyroid output, not just TSH which lags months behind real problems)
reverse T3 (if high your body is actively blocking thyroid hormone from entering cells)
hs-CRP (systemic inflammation)
homocysteine (cardiovascular and neurological damage marker)
fasting insulin (catches metabolic dysfunction years before glucose goes abnormal)
your doctor didn't order any of these
$300 and a 13-minute appointment got you a number that means nothing without context. $150 and a walk-in lab visit got you the complete picture of why you feel like shit and exactly where the breakdown is occurring
one of these options gives you answers. the other one gives you a co-pay and a follow-up appointment in 6 months where he'll tell you the same thing
this isn't a healthcare system. it's a subscription model. and you're the recurring revenue
the reason your doctor doesn't run the full panel isn't because he's stupid. it's because there's no billing code that justifies spending 45 minutes interpreting 15 biomarkers when he can bill the same amount for 13 minutes and a basic panel. he gets paid per visit, not per outcome. the system rewards keeping you just confused enough to come back
i started ordering my own labs 4 years ago. every problem i'd been chasing for years showed up on a $150 panel that nobody in the medical system had ever bothered to run. the fatigue, the brain fog, the anxiety that came out of nowhere, the sex drive that vanished.
the full guide on what to order, how to read it yourself, and what the numbers actually mean is on my substack. stop paying $300 for permission to be confused
Four years ago, the Bucktooth Botox Bandit of Buffalo (Kathy Hochul) told Republicans in NY to leave the state and said we weren't New Yorkers.
After she barely won re-election, my wife and I took her up on her offer.
It was the best decision we could have made. We now own a home and a successful business in Tennessee due in large part to a far lower tax burden than what exists in New York.
Now Hochul is begging those of us who left to COME BACK to New York so she can tax our income to pay for her and Mamdani's pet projects.
Be careful what you wish for, Kathy. None of us are coming back.
🚨 WOW! Elon Musk just resurfaced this video of Chuck Schumer in 1996 saying that "the NUMBER ONE REASON" migrants come to America is to commit fraud and steal taxpayer dollars
"They can get benefits against the law because of FRAUD!"
ELON: "That’s what he said."
We need to pass the SAVE America Act so they CAN'T VOTE.
Let’s get my position on the Republican Party crystal clear. I’ve been a registered Republican since Bill Clinton turned the Oval Office into his own personal brothel. Now that Senate Majority John Thune refuses to protect election integrity, I am disgusted with my party. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat in my life, but the RINO elements destroying the Republican party are a disgrace. I am a devout follower of President Trump, and as a registered Independent will continue to vote with Republicans when they stand behind this great President and act like Republicans again. Democrats, the ragtag band of con artists and grifters that they are, manage to work together in lockstep, but getting Republicans to accomplish anything is like herding cats. It’s absolutely infuriating.
