🚨 WOW! JD Vance says it PERFECTLY

VANCE: "I was a critic of Trump in 2015 and 2016. Now I'm the VP of the US in the Trump admin."

JOY BEHAR: "Yeah, what happened?"

VANCE: "Well, Joy, a little HUMILITY. When you make predictions and those predictions turn out to be false, you got to ask yourself, well, what made me wrong about that? What did I not understand or not appreciate?"

"For example, I said that Donald Trump's economic policies would not lead to wage growth. They did in the first term. That was actually a major, major thing!" 🔥

"I said that we couldn't bring back any of those factory jobs because I kind of had given into this idea that those jobs were disappearing, but actually Donald Trump, you saw a manufacturing boom during that administration!"

"So there's a certain point where you say, you know, I made predictions about this. I ended up being wrong. And in politics and anything, I think it's important to just say, you know what, I got some things wrong and I was wrong about him."

Boom!

Bronnie Ware spent 8 years caring for people on their deathbeds. These were their 5 biggest regrets:

1. “I wish I’d lived a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.” (by far the most common)

2. “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.”

3. “I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.”

4. “I wish I’d stayed in touch with my friends.”

5. “I wish I’d allowed myself to be happier.”

These aren’t dramatic failures, they’re quiet choices we make every single day. Getting that first one right tends to fix a lot of the others.

Which of these regrets hits you the hardest right now?

Jillian Michaels tells a body positive activist that Big Food is literally buying off dietitian influencers to say “ditch the diet” and eat whatever you want.

What happens next is a textbook example of Stockholm syndrome:

MICHAELS: “Can I give you some statistics?”

ACTIVIST: “Please, please, please.”

MICHAELS: “Okay. So Washington Post analyzed more than 6,000 social media posts by 68 registered dietitians with a combined reach of over 9 million followers. 40% of them were using the anti-diet language. Like food freedom, no food rules, ditch the diet, healthy at any size, so on and so forth, very often not disclosing the fact that they were paid by the big food companies.”

ACTIVIST: “Okay.”

MICHAELS: “So they’re basically going after the intuitive eating dietitians. I can give you Abby Sharp.”

ACTIVIST: “That’s okay, though… The body positive movement is really for us. That is not even anywhere we need to equate into it.”

MICHAELS: “It really is when they’re using your movement.”

ACTIVIST: “I’m going to say this clearly… I don’t care who uses my f*cking movement. I want the movement to be there, and that right there, they can take it. It’s marketing and sales 101. Of course they’re going to use the f*cking movement.”

MICHAELS: “But then why can’t you guys say you don’t get to co-opt our movement?”

ACTIVIST: “That’s not for me to do. I don’t care about that. The thing is, we don’t care.”

MICHAELS: “I think you should.”

ACTIVIST: “But it’s not about we should. We are doing what we’re doing because this is our family, this is our world. It doesn’t matter…. The thing is, WE DON’T CARE.”

Michaels just explained how Big Food buys off influencers to keep people fat. And she still thinks Michaels is the enemy.

Jordan Peterson on what real prayer actually requires:

You have to sacrifice part of yourself.

There’s something in you that needs to die, some resentment, some bad habit, some ego, some weakness, and you have to offer it up to something higher.

That’s the discriminating spirit inside you deciding what’s chaff and what’s wheat. You give up the chaff so the better version of you can live.

Real growth and repentance aren’t comfortable. They require voluntarily killing off pieces of your old self instead of letting life do it for you the hard way.

What’s your take, what’s one thing most people need to sacrifice or let die in order to truly grow?

Just so we're all clear, "Pride night" has included the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence" which is a LARP group solely built to radicalize and agitate against Christianity. Facts.

But athletes who could not give one shit about feminist fantasies and Pride have to wear badges and patches and bow down and bitch out publically if they don't do it right. The whole fucking movement spits on their core tenets and then Christian scripture on their hat is a problem. 🎬😵‍💫🌊

Fuck you and your Repressive Tolerance!

Many golfers who come over the top have transition backwards. They feel like the downswing starts with rotation, so they spin open from the top, throwing the club out and over the plane. Hello, slice.

The fix isn’t no rotation. It’s better sequence. Starting the downswing with a lateral move toward the target not only shifts pressure into the lead side, it helps shallow the club.

Now rotation becomes an asset. With the club shallow, a player can rotate as aggressively as they want and the path stays on plane. The lateral shift earns the right to turn hard.

This is one of the ways we teach coaches to use force plate data in our advanced seminars. When we see an over-the-top pattern and lateral force is low or late, we start cues from the ground up.

[🇺🇸 Kyle Bass 🇹🇼 @Jkylebass]

The irony is too rich to ignore. A piece lamenting that players made “a night meant for inclusion about something else entirely” …by simply writing Bible verses on their hats. Silently. On their own caps.

Let’s think about what “inclusion” apparently means here: everyone is welcome, celebrated, and affirmed…unless you’re a religious person expressing your faith quietly, in which case you’re a problem to be ridiculed by a major sports outlet.

The players weren’t protesting. They weren’t disrupting anything. They weren’t demanding anyone agree with them. They wrote scripture on their hats. That’s it. And yet the media framing treats this as an act of aggression against inclusion…while simultaneously being deeply exclusionary toward them.

This is the core contradiction the mainstream sports media can never seem to resolve: inclusion only seems to flow in one direction. Pride Night deserves full-throated coverage and moral endorsement. A Bible verse deserves a condescending op-ed.

If a reporter wrote a piece mocking players for putting an LGBTQ+ symbol on their cap, their career would be over by morning. The double standard isn’t subtle …it’s architectural.

True inclusion, by definition, has to include people of sincere religious faith. The moment a media outlet decides that one group’s expression is a celebration and another’s is an embarrassment, they’ve stopped covering a story and started enforcing a cultural orthodoxy.

That’s not journalism…it’s a dress code. @nytimes @TheAthletic

Oh, Hillary. Hillary, Hillary. You ignorant slut.

As the Senior Military Aide to President Bill Clinton, YOU’RE military aide — the officer who carried the nuclear football in and out of the White House every single day — I saw the “people’s house” up close alongside you. @HillaryClinton

Spare us the sanctimonious lectures. And turn on your replies, coward.

When you and Bill left in January 2001, your staff ransacked the place. Remember?

“W” keys ripped off every keyboard. Phone lines cut. Desk drawers glued shut. Obscene voicemails and vulgar graffiti left behind.

Presidential seals and silverware stolen. Furniture damaged. The GAO confirmed the vandalism and theft. It wasn’t “transition friction” — it was a disgrace.

You trashed the People’s House on your way out the door and now you’re clutching pearls over Trump?

I remember, Hillary. I was there. Remember?

The hypocrisy is Olympic-level, Ms. Clinton. And you know it! You of ALL people know it!

The American people have long memories. Especially this one! Me!

We remember who actually looted the place.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Shut up and color.

EVEN EVEN MORE HILLARY

In the summer of 1997, Bill Clinton visited Denmark. We landed on AF-1 in Copenhagen, boarded Marine One for a night time tour of the coast en route to Kronborg Castle, for Shakespeare the “home of Hamlet.” We landed at around midnight and were welcomed with open arms by the queen and her staff.

Beautiful, historic castle. I was put up in the Scottish Military suite. Beautiful room with a fully appointed spread of meats, cheeses, breads, fruit, and a full bar. All served, of course, with fine china and crystal.

After a phone call with my wife, I made sure POTUS was down for the evening and went to bed.

The next morning, the queen had a breakfast spread for Clinton and the staff. Again, first class.

As we headed to the motorcade to leave for an event and the flight home, I was pulled aside by the Danish military aide.

“Buzz, we have a problem. Your staff stole the china and crystal from their rooms. And took other things as well.”

I was stunned and chagrined. I apologized profusely and told him I’d handle it.

I talked with Hillary and the White House chief of staff and told them what had happened.

They both shrugged their shoulders. No apology. Nobody held accountable. No repayment.

Just another day in the Clinton White House and a group of Ugly Americans.

I don’t want to hear a damn word from @HillaryClinton about White House decorum. Not a word.

The conspiracy theorists were right

A new FDA data mining report shows they knew the Covid vaccine had 25 major side effects and they all conspired to hide it from the public

Senator Ron Johnson’s Senate PSI Majority Staff Interim Report has been released on FDA data mining and the March 2021 analysis by Dr. Ana Szarfman

There was a “masking” in the standard FDA system, where signals from Pfizer and Moderna reportedly cancelled each other out

Meaning they lied and hid the side effects from the public and told you it was 100% safe and effective

I have compared the whole list for you:

Neurological & Dysautonomia

• Bell’s palsy (Suppressed Signal)
• Paraesthesia ear (Suppressed Signal)
• Bradykinesia (Suppressed Signal)
• Basal ganglia stroke (Suppressed Signal)
• Cerebral artery occlusion (Suppressed Signal)
• Thalamic infarction
• Sinus rhythm abnormality
• Agonal rhythm
• Diaphragmatic spasm
• Dementia (Pfizer)

Cardiac

• Sudden cardiac death (Suppressed Signal)
• Acute left ventricular failure (Suppressed Signal)
• Diastolic dysfunction (Suppressed Signal)
• Ejection fraction abnormal (Suppressed Signal)
• Hypertensive emergency (Suppressed Signal)
• Blood pressure systolic changes (Suppressed Signal)
• Aortic stenosis (Suppressed Signal)
• Cardiac failure chronic
• Acute myocardial infarction (Pfizer, Moderna)
• Cardiac telemetry abnormal (Pfizer) (Suppressed Signal)

Vascular & Pulmonary

• Pulmonary infarction (Suppressed Signal)
• Embolic stroke
• Ischaemic stroke
• Aortic aneurysm rupture
• May-Thurner syndrome
• Hypomagnesaemia (Suppressed Signal)

Other

• Cholecystitis acute (Suppressed Signal)
• AST/ALT ratio abnormal
• Mastoid disorder
• Cardiac assistance device user
• Brain natriuretic peptide increased
• Asymptomatic COVID-19 (Pfizer) (Suppressed Signal)

The FDA’s standard analytical method allegedly masked “obscured” statistical safety signals in the data

Aka they lied

The Great Awakening is REAL.⏰

Watch this Democrat have his moment of clarity, that exact second when the fog lifts and reality hits. You can see it in their eyes. The programming is cracking. The lies they’ve been fed for years are finally colliding with the truth unfolding right in front of them. This is happening more and more every single day.

Former liberals, life-long Democrats, and even some deep in the system are waking up to the corruption, the division, and the destruction of our country. They’re realizing the America they thought they were fighting for was never the real target, it was always the Republic, our freedoms, and our future.

The train of truth is rolling, and it’s picking up speed. Just like that powerful Big Boy locomotive thundering across America for our 250th anniversary, nothing can stop this momentum.

If you’re a Democrat or former Democrat watching this… welcome. The door is open. There’s no shame in admitting you were lied to.

Millions have already made the journey.

The Golden Age isn’t just for some of us, it’s for all of us who love this country.

God bless America. 🇺🇸

The best is yet to come. 👊

[Bret Weinstein @BretWeinstein]

No, it’s not “Pride Month.” Not for me, and not for millions of others.

You’re welcome to be proud of whatever you want, in any month you like—because this is America. But what started in 1969 as a rebellion against persecution, morphed into a license for public depravity, and then morphed again into a weapon aimed at families and innocent children. Along the way it went from a day, to a week, and then a month and became official, and thereby effectively mandatory for all.

Enough!

If you’re gay and wondering why you are facing resistance now, the answer is that, with few exceptions, most of you didn’t stand up against the expansion and weaponization of “pride,” and the coercion that went with it. In that failure to resist, the gay community compromised any expectation that the rest of us should support “pride” at all, but especially the obscene display of hostility toward civilization and the families of which it is built, and for whom it exists.

If your hackles are raised by the idea that civilization is about families, realize that families are how civilizations persist through time. Not everyone needs to form one, but we all must respect and protect them—It is the foundation of what it means to be civilized.

For the small fraction of gays and lesbians who DID courageously stand up and resist expansion, coercion and the weaponization of “Pride,” I stand with you, and I have all along. But I won’t be celebrating, and I won’t be silent.

It’s not too late to join the voices of reason and to confront the insanity of what “pride” has become.

🔥 BREAKING 🔥

An Africa-based research team aiming to disprove Western claims about low IQ in African countries went viral.

After conducting mass IQ tests, over 50% of participants scored below 70, with a median score of 69.7 which supports Western findings.

Low IQ = Low impulse control & a higher level of crime & violence.

This is evident across the West with 3rd world Mass immigration.

❌ IQ under 75

An IQ under 75 indicates an intellectual or cognitive disability, often characterized by slow learning, poor impulse control, difficulties with abstract reasoning & significant challenges with social and daily living skills.

Individuals may exhibit a childlike approach to problems, struggle with long-term consequences & are more prone to violence due to lack of social/ emotional intelligence & communication skills.

Protesters are standing outside JPMorgan Chase in New York this weekend, holding giant banners that say “STOP ELON • NO TRILLIONAIRES” and “ELON IS STEALING YOUR PENSION”

These people are protesting the greatest success story in modern history. Let’s look at the actual reality:

• Elon has already paid more in taxes than almost anyone alive
• Tesla and SpaceX employ well over 100,000 people and actively push humanity forward.
• Through DOGE, he already helped cut billions in wasteful government spending. That saved taxpayers hundreds of billions.....meaning he actually helped secure grandmas' pensions by slashing bureaucracy, not the other way around.
• Friday's historic SpaceX IPO didn't "steal" from anyone. It created massive value, turned everyday workers into millionaires, and rightfully made him the world’s first trillionaire

He didn’t steal anything. He built it from the ground up

His companies have created massive job growth, accelerated sustainable energy, and are literally building the infrastructure to make humanity multi-planetary

Rather than celebrating excellence, demanding the government punish it is pure evil

[L. Wayne Mathison @WayneMathison]

The Left would do itself a favour by learning basic economics. I studied economics in high school and university, and the first lesson is simple: wealth is created, not merely divided up.

Money moves wealth around. Work, skill, risk, investment, invention, farming, building, repairing, producing, and organizing people create wealth.

The fixed-pie mindset is poison. It teaches people that someone else’s success must explain their own failure. Sometimes people are exploited, yes. Sometimes rules are rigged, yes. But the general idea that one person getting richer automatically makes everyone else poorer is childish nonsense.

A farmer grows more food. A mechanic restores a vehicle. A business owner creates jobs. A musician writes a song. A builder turns lumber into a house. None of that steals wealth. It creates it.

If your entire politics is based on resentment instead of production, you are not fighting poverty. You are defending the thinking that keeps people poor.

[Math Files @Math_files]

In the 1960s, a direct flight to Neptune would have taken nearly 30 years. That was longer than most spacecraft could survive. Reaching the outer planets seemed almost impossible.

But one engineer, working quietly with a pencil, found a way around this problem.

Gary Flandro, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, was asked to study how spacecraft might travel to the distant planets despite the limits of rocket technology at the time. Fuel was scarce, and engines were not powerful enough for such long journeys.

Flandro turned to a clever idea from physics called a gravity assist, sometimes known as a planetary slingshot. The concept is simple in principle. When a spacecraft passes close to a large planet, the planet’s gravity pulls it in and then flings it forward. In doing so, the spacecraft steals a tiny bit of the planet’s motion around the Sun. The planet slows down by an amount too small to notice, but the spacecraft gains a huge increase in speed without using any fuel.

With only paper, pencil, and the limited computers of 1965, Flandro calculated the future positions of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. What he found was remarkable. In the late 1970s, these giant planets would line up in a rare formation. This alignment would allow a single spacecraft to travel from one planet to the next, gaining speed at each step.

This opportunity appears only once every 176 years.

Flandro showed that a spacecraft could use Jupiter’s gravity to reach Saturn, then use Saturn to reach Uranus, and finally use Uranus to reach Neptune. This chain of boosts would cut the travel time to Neptune from about 30 years down to just 12.

This elegant piece of mathematics changed everything.

It became the foundation for the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions, both launched in 1977. Thanks to this precise planning, the two spacecraft sent back the first close images of the outer planets. They later continued their journey beyond the solar system, becoming the first human-made objects to enter interstellar space.

All of it began with a simple insight, worked out by hand, that turned an impossible journey into a reachable one.
