We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too.

THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
You can crash your yard's mosquito population without spraying a single chemical with a Mosquito Bucket of Doom.
Fill a 5-gallon bucket about two-thirds with water. Drop in a handful of grass clippings, leaves, or hay. Let it sit for a day, then drop in a Bti dunk (also called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis, sold at any hardware store as "mosquito dunks," about $10 for six).
Mosquitoes are powerfully attracted to fermenting water and will lay their eggs in your bucket. Bti is a naturally occurring soil bacterium that produces a toxin that kills mosquito, blackfly, and fungus gnat larvae only.
This method doesn't harm bees, butterflies, fireflies, fish, frogs, birds, pets, or people. BTI dunks are EPA-approved for organic use and safe in animal water troughs and birdbaths.
One dunk lasts about 30 days. Top off the water as it evaporates. Cover with 1/2-in Mesh Hardware Cloth to prevent animals from getting trapped and put the bucket somewhere shady where pets and kids won't get into it.
The bucket becomes a mosquito magnet and a dead end. Compare that to fogging the entire yard with pyrethroids, which kills every insect in it, including the predators that eat mosquitoes.
Doug Tallamy's Homegrown National Park has been running the "Mosquito Bucket Challenge" since 2021. The more buckets in a neighborhood, the bigger the dent. One bucket per yard is a great start.
🔻 Two things happened in the last 24 hours that were not supposed to happen simultaneously.
The first: Trump walked into the Situation Room at 2:14 PM. The meeting lasted exactly 2 hours. He walked out without announcing a deal. The media said "no decision was made."
That is a lie. The decision was made before he sat down.
The deal was leaked ON PURPOSE. The terms published were not the real terms. They were the terms meant for Iran to reject. The actual agreement was signed 6 hours earlier through a backchannel that does not appear on any official schedule.
The second: Pam Bondi testified behind closed doors about the Epstein files. She admitted "redaction errors." Dozens of names were exposed. She blamed two men below her and refused to answer 14 questions.
What she did not say — and what three people in that room already know — is that the "errors" were not errors.
THE NAMES WERE RELEASED INTENTIONALLY.
Not to expose victims. To send a message to 11 people who believed their names would never surface. Three of them are currently serving in European governments. One has not been seen publicly since April 19.
The war you see is not the war being fought. The deal you were shown is not the deal that was signed. The names you think were "accidentally" leaked were placed there with surgical precision.
There is a list. It is not long. But every name on it has a deadline now.
**June 15 is not a release date. It is a surrender date.**
Those who come forward before that date will be offered terms. Those who do not will be named in a format that cannot be redacted, retracted, or denied.
THE EXTRACTION PHASE HAS BEGUN.

Forward this before it disappears.
🔥Oklahoma, start shopping now.
James Lankford isn’t on the ballot until 2028, but don’t wait until election season to start looking for a replacement.
If you’re tired of establishment Republicans making excuses while voters get ignored, start building the bench.
Name some 2028 Oklahoma primary options below.
I am still voting for Jake Merrick! Maybe he didn't have the money from special interest groups (to be in the debate), like the others, but he is the man for We the People of Oklahoma! I am voting on principle! And Jake is it!
our knee can heal itself. It just needed Germany to hand it the blueprint.
Doctors in Stuttgart did something quietly radical. They built a gel that lets damaged joint cartilage rebuild itself, no implants, no metal, no major reconstruction.
It's called ChondroFiller liquid.
Here's how it works.
A surgeon injects the liquid into the damaged spot during a single minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure. Within 3 to 5 minutes, it hardens into a stable matrix, molding perfectly to the exact shape of the lesion.
Then the real magic starts.
That matrix becomes a scaffold. Your own repair cells migrate in from the surrounding tissue, multiply, and slowly transform into chondrocytes, the cells that actually build cartilage. Over the following months, your body replaces the gel with brand-new tissue grown from you.
No fibrin glue. No drilling into the bone.
This isn't a fringe experiment, either.
The device is made by Meidrix Biomedicals, developed alongside scientists at the Fraunhofer Institute for Interfacial Engineering and Biotechnology in Stuttgart. It's been CE-certified since its market launch in 2013 and has already been implanted in more than 20,000 patients worldwide.
The numbers back it up.
In one study of 26 patients with hip cartilage defects larger than 2 cm², 81% achieved good or excellent results. MRI scans confirmed significant healing in over 90% of cases.
One important caveat: it's built for small, focal cartilage defects, not advanced arthritis. Patients with severe osteoarthritis saw weaker results.
But for the right injury, this flips the script entirely.
Instead of replacing the joint, you give it the tools to repair itself.

There is no way to investigate it and there’s no way to prove it from a league standpoint but anyone with above a room temp IQ knows exactly what happened last night.
You guys spin every narrative you possibly can to make the Thunder the villains when we have clear villains right here.
Wemby plays the “cool, calm, and collected Shaolin monk” character when he’s winning, but we’ve seen him throw an elbow at a player’s neck and put a hit on another Thunder player the moment he’s not getting what he wants.
Wemby is a dirty player who flops and foul baits like any other star, and putting him as the face of “ethical basketball” is laughable and disingenuous
Just imagine…
The Thunder are getting blown out in Game 5 of a 2-2 series, and Shai, (who in the previous series threw a vicious elbow and didn’t even get fined for it), whispers something to Dort and JWill, and they proceed to check in and throw two cheap shots on a key player in garbage time.
Now imagine Shai skipping media availability after the biggest loss of the season.
What would the discourse be?
There’s a double standard with Wemby!
