Feed your soul with facts not fear

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

We are quietly isolating an entire generation of older people from society, and nobody seems to give a damn.

I took my 84-year-old grandfather to his local bank branch on Friday.

The exact same brick-and-mortar branch where he opened his first account in 1978.

We pull up to the front doors. They’re locked.

Inside is an empty lobby with a small sign: “Cashless Service Hub.”

A young guy in a polo shirt opens the door and tells us:

“We don't handle teller deposits or paper checks here anymore. You just need to download the mobile portal and scan your routing number.”

My grandfather pulls out an old flip phone with a cracked screen and a paper pension check from his coat pocket.

His hands were visibly shaking.

The employee just shrugs.

“You can do it on an iPad, or have a family member manage the app for you.”

This man worked forty-two years in a manufacturing plant. Paid his taxes. Fought for this country.

And now he is made to feel completely useless and stripped of his dignity because he doesn't own an iOS device.

Tech isn't making life easier if it completely locks out the people who built the world we’re living in.

Are your elderly parents or grandparents running into this wall too?

I miss the days when you could watch a tv show and it has zero LGBTQ crap in it.

I want a full tax refund for the last 25 years

[Robert Phoenix -- Post New Age Astrologer @AstroPhoenix9]

You know what I want? Better roads. Better bridges. Better trains. National parks not up for sale. A sky without Chemtrails. Non GMO food. Zero Glyphosate. Cheaper fuel. Keep the aggregate $5K and put it towards that.

7 years ago, ranchers sued the Big 4 for antitrust. Now the class is certified.

Every rancher who sold fed cattle to Tyson, JBS, Cargill, or National Beef between 2015 and 2020 is in this suit.

80% of beef controlled by 4 companies. Ranchers are fighting back. 🇺🇸

Fun fact: The scrap value of gold and copper inside of a flock camera is worth more than a catalytic converter.

Carry on.

🚨BREAKING: Multiple bridges have been washed away along Highway 11 near Pāhala on Hawaii’s Big Island.

More than 197,000 residents are without power statewide as Hurricane Lala leaves behind major flooding and infrastructure damage.

Dear Muslims: My family and I have decided to move from the US to a Muslim country. We haven't picked which one yet—we're still comparing which one offers the best benefits package.

All my neighbors want to come too. And my neighbors' neighbors. And all their friends. And their friends' friends. Millions of us will show up with suitcases and a sense of entitlement.

As a large Christian community, we'll need a few small changes: Please start building churches immediately. Real churches, with nice loud bells, the kind that can be heard from the town square.

We'll also need for everyone to celebrate Christmas, and to close certain streets once a year for our processions. We may want to gather to pray to our Almighty God on your streets, in your parks, or on the lawns of your mosques.

We'll be an oppressed minority, so you'll have to be understanding and adapt to our way of life. Every supermarket must stock real pork, ham, chorizo, and bacon. And we're bringing all our dogs, so you'll need dog parks, and you'll have to smile tolerate them we walk them in front of your mosques. We want our women to be able to safely go out alone and wear shorts and tank tops. And when the weather's nice, we men like to go shirtless. We also want to drink alcohol, dance, and place an occasional bet at the horse races.

While we're at it, your religious holidays are a bit too much; they could offend the Christian community, so we'd appreciate it if you'd discreetly eliminate them. Thanks.

In schools and workplaces, our children and employees must be able to wear large crucifixes, say prayers, eat ham sandwiches in the cafeteria, and learn Christian principles without anyone getting criticized. We also demand chapels or Christian prayer rooms in every building, plus translators, because we have no intention of learning Arabic.

If any of this is rejected, please send a list of police station addresses so we can report you for discrimination, Christianophobia, racism, and anything we don't like.

One more thing: if my kids protest or burn your flag for any reason, please be understanding. I'll be sure to give them a very serious scolding.

Finally, we all want generous benefits, free housing, phones, free food, and pocket money while we "integrate" over the next three generations. Working is optional, obviously. Be patient with us, you'll get used to it.

We thank you in advance for your tolerance and compassion. After all, diversity is our strength!

Sincerely,
A Very Reasonable Christian

So the USDA is going to spend $9 million dollars of taxpayer dollars to destroy 420,000 fruit-bearing trees and massive surplus of peaches to "maintain fruit prices" they won't donate the peaches to food banks, churches or feed the hungry, alright.

For anyone who likes their food thoroughly doused, the EPA approved three new ones on 1 July 2026, and there are four more in the queue.

The three are epyrifenacil, diflufenican and trifludimoxazin. Two of them had never been used in the United States before. All three are now cleared for corn, soybeans, wheat, canola, citrus and peanuts, which is over 70 million hectares of farmland and very nearly the entire foundation of the plant-based aisle, signed off in a single afternoon.

The agency's own review of trifludimoxazin recorded suggestive evidence of carcinogenic potential.

It approved it anyway.

Two of the three break down into trifluoroacetic acid, currently among the most widespread and least removable contaminants in the world's water supply. The EPA's technical work found that trifludimoxazin degrades into twelve separate PFAS compounds, which is generous. Most products manage only the one.

The official position is that none of these are forever chemicals, because the definition the agency itself wrote in 2023 requires a molecule to carry two or more fully fluorinated carbons. All three carry precisely one. The chemistry is identical, the persistence is identical, and the paperwork is immaculate.

Fifth approval of its kind under the current administration, against one in the whole of the previous four years. It landed a fortnight before the comment deadline on relaxing drinking water limits for other PFAS compounds, which is either very poor scheduling or very good scheduling.

No press release.

Posted quietly in the Federal Register on a Tuesday, the way you announce a car park closure.

🇺🇸 250 years ago we declared independence from the British Empire. 125 years ago, they stole it back—and erased the evidence.

This July 4th, Trump is reclaiming what McKinley died for: the American System.

Could Trump make federal election day a holiday so the USPS is closed?

[Electroverse @Electroversenet]

Electric cars are sold as clean. Yes, EVs cut tailpipe pollution, but if the goal is CO2 reduction, the full chain tells a different story.

The production of an EV requires more mining, refining, battery production and power generation over a standard petrol or diesel car.

Battery minerals are dug up and processed. Across the full chain, EVs cut CO2 by only 20%. But on top of that, batteries degrade. Over an EV's life, one battery replacement will collapse any CO2 advantage.

EVs also add major electricity demand.
They do not erase the old energy system.
They load more pressure onto it.

If you want to charge your EV at night or when the wind isn't blowing, then it will be 100% fossil fuel powering that.

EVs are not green.
They are virtue signaling on wheels.

Warren Buffett: "I can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes. Just pass a law that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."

They’re putting vaccines into U.S. food now.

Rep. Scott Cepicky..."One head of lettuce might be normal and the lettuce next to it could contain a vaccine." Foods need to be labeled as vaccine-laced. You shouldn’t buy tomatoes and unknowingly get a polio vaccine.

[Holden Culotta @Holden_Culotta]

Thomas Massie just delivered an urgent call to action:

“Americans are under attack by a German company.”

Bayer-Monsanto.

“People this week should be calling their congressmen … and saying, take the glyphosate immunity out of the Farm Bill.”

“It’s poison.”

“This administration has sided with the German company trying to get immunity from the harm that their products may cause.”

“Chellie Pingree and I … are trying to get them to strip the immunity for glyphosate that they’ve put into the Farm Bill.”

“Bayer’s product has become unprofitable because of the harm that state juries have decided has been caused to people.”

“And there’s something broader though than just glyphosate here.”

��This would set a precedent for every pesticide, every herbicide, every insecticide.”

“It would set a precedent that the EPA doesn’t exist to protect people and the environment.”

“It exists to give get-out-of-court-free cards to corporations.”

The food system changes when you stop funding it.

Companies don’t reformulate because they care.

They reformulate because you stop buying:
- Artificial dyes.
- Ultra-processed fillers.
- Low-quality oils.

When consumers demand better, shelves change.

You vote three times a day. With your fork.
