Mike Tyson says he quit cocaine and alcohol for 5 years after smoking toad venom
“I had the experience of smoking some of the toad venom that comes from the toad. You bust its little pimple and the puss comes out. We put it on a window or a mirror, it hardens up, we make fine ash out of it, like sawdust or whatever, and we smoke it”
“Then we smoke it, and once you smoke it, let the smoke out. You hold it for as long as possible. You let it out, and then you go to another dimension. Then you realize all you did in life, you didn't do shit. This is the closest I ever been to God”
“Oh shit, it'll blow your motherfucking mind. It will blow your mind for you to know how powerful you are. I did it around 60 times. It's always a different experience. It blows your mind what you saw”
“I saw the ancient shit, like the Aztec, shit from Africa. I saw my ancestors during prehistoric times. It's really creepy. And then next thing you know, you wake up and you're crying or something”
“If I ever saw somebody take it before I did, I would never take it. I was high. I was on cocaine. I was on cocaine when I took it. I was doing crazy shit. I took that, I ain't get high for five years. Didn't touch liquor or cocaine in five years. I was 100 pounds overweight. I got in shape to fight. That's what that did to me”
@ObviousRises Only white people cannot afford families. All of the brown zoo animals that have been thrown at us (like a monkey throwing shit) have infinity money that was stolen from us, and they are populating like the cockroaches that they are
On this day in 1944, Theodore Roosevelt Jr. died in his sleep in a stone farmhouse in Normandy. He was 56 years old, and he had spent almost his entire adult life trying to be worthy of a famous last name.
He was the eldest son of President Theodore Roosevelt. In the First World War he went to France and was gassed and badly wounded at Soissons leading his men. That same summer his younger brother Quentin, a pilot, was shot down and killed over France. Ted came home with lungs and a leg that never fully recovered, and before he even left Europe he helped found the American Legion so that ordinary soldiers would have someone looking out for them.
Between the wars he did almost everything. Governor of Puerto Rico. Governor General of the Philippines. Businessman, explorer, writer. He could have spent the Second World War safe behind a desk. Instead, at 54, arthritic and walking with a cane, he talked his way back into uniform and into combat.
By 1943 he was fighting in North Africa and Sicily under Terry Allen, and their loose, unpolished, soldier-first style rubbed General Patton the wrong way. Patton had them both relieved of command. Roosevelt didn't sulk. He asked for another job, any job, as long as it kept him near the fighting. They made him assistant commander of the 4th Infantry Division.
Then came D-Day. He hid a heart condition from the Army doctors. He wrote to his commander three separate times, in writing, begging to go in with the very first wave rather than watch from a ship. He was the only general to land in the first wave on any beach that morning, the oldest man in the invasion, walking through machine gun fire with a cane in one hand and a pistol in the other.
The boats came in a mile off course. Officers froze. Roosevelt limped up and down the beach under fire, studied the ground, and said, "We'll start the war from right here." Then he spent the morning waving men forward and sorting out the chaos so calmly that terrified 20 year olds looked at this old man with a cane and decided that if he wasn't scared, they wouldn't be either.
His son Quentin, named for the uncle killed in the last war, landed at Omaha Beach the same morning. They were the only father and son to come ashore together on D-Day.
He died a month later. A heart attack in his sleep. And here is the part that gets me. On the very day he died, the orders had just come through promoting him to major general and giving him his own division. He never saw the paperwork. He never knew he'd earned the Medal of Honor either.
At his funeral his pallbearers were seven of the most famous generals of the war, Bradley, Hodges, Collins, Barton, Huebner, and George Patton. The same Patton who had fired him. Patton wrote in his diary that Roosevelt was one of the bravest men he had ever known.
Years later Omar Bradley was asked to name the single most heroic thing he witnessed in all of World War II. He didn't pause. He said, "Ted Roosevelt on Utah Beach."
The USS Liberty Was Not Supposed to Have Survivors
Marine Bryce Lockwood said “a radio operator ran coax cable through a damaged antenna and forced out the distress call.”
The U.S. Sixth Fleet heard it.
The Israelis heard it too.
And the attack stopped.
That Mayday saved them but then LBJ called off the rescue.
Rep. Thomas Massie said survivors were left for 17 hours, while many bled and waited.
That is where this thread begins:
the distress call that broke the silence and the cover-up that followed.
3:10 — leaked Isræli HQ audio shows they knew it was an American ship before the attack.
Thread for the historical records — with NSA/CSS evidence, CIA files, and the intercepted record showing Isræl knew it was a U.S. ship. 1/8🧵
I bet $500,000 on Polymarket that Microstrategy sold Bitcoin in May.
Evidence came out while the market was open. Legally confirmed. Then Polymarket changed the rules, and refused to pay.
Last chance to do the right thing @shayne_coplan. Where's my fucking money?
Shane Gillis calls out scumbag behavior:
Kiss Me is a great impromptu segment that happens every few months.
On episode 702 Big Vinny came dangerously close to striking out until he was saved last second by the wonderful Ms. Shelby.
“Haven’t got anything out here yet tho”
“I’ve been laid, I don’t need that”
It’s amazing how some people have zero self awareness.
Tony has a great memory & often hits guests with “you’ve been on this show before right?” or “first time on the show?”
Big Vinny might be the only one to never mention his previous appearances. 🤮.
Two Georgia Supreme Court candidates broke multiple Georgia rules for judicial candidates. They filed a secret lawsuit before Judge Leslie Abrams Gardner who stopped the complaints' publication. Eleventh Circuit reversed and unsealed everything. Supreme Court denied unanimously.
Has any action been taken against the police officers who handcuffed this boy and made him bleed to death in the street?
Who are they?

@NYCMayor Islamophobia is a made up word by Muslims to erode Western Civilization.
This is likely a hate crime hoax spread by Muslims who love being perpetual victims while they kill Jews and Christians everyday.
