@lone_rides My wife wrote an amazing book on the struggles and lessons learned from our experience in raising our son who has special needs. It is faith-based, inspiring, and honest in both the struggle and the blessing of raising a child with special needs. https://t.co/StCxS2HVP5
If you only have 3 minutes to watch Tucker Carlson’s show today, this is the 3 minutes you need to see.
The pharma treadmill is making everyone sick, and you won’t believe how bad it is until you see these stats:
• Autism rates in kids are 1 in 36 nationally, compared to 1 in 1500 in the not-so-distant past.
• In California, it's even worse: Autism rates are 1 in 22.
• 74% of American adults are overweight or obese.
• Close to 50% of children are overweight or obese.
• 50% of American adults have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
• 30% of teens now have prediabetes.
• Infertility is increasing by 1% per year.
• Sperm counts are decreasing by 1% per year since the 1970s.
• Young adult cancers are up 79%.
What's causing all this? It's simple: “Our TOXIC food system and our TOXIC environment.”
@CaseyMeansMD explains:
“The thing that people need to understand is that all of these conditions are caused or driven by the exact same thing, which is metabolic dysfunction. This core foundational issue of how our bodies on the cellular level function, which is driven by our toxic food system and our toxic environment.
“These subtle, insidious forces that are creating slow progressive illness, starting now in fetal life, that allow patients to be profitable and on the pharma treadmill for their entire lives. They make us sick, but they don't kill us. And then we are drugged for life.”
This is Rick Rescorla
On 9/11/2001, the Vietnam veteran was working as VP of security for Morgan Stanley in the South Tower.
In the months leading up to the attack, Rescorla sensed something would happen, he just didn’t know when so he prepared a plan.
On the day of the attack when the first plane hit, Rescorla ordered everyone out of the building, ignoring the Port Authority order to stay put.
“I said, ‘Piss off, you son of a b***h,’” Rescorla recounted to a friend that morning.
“Everything above where that plane hit is going to collapse, and it’s going to take the whole building with it. I’m getting my people the f**k out of here.”
The last time Rescorla was ever seen was on the 10th floor of the South Tower going up to save more people.
He saved 2700 people that day.

The vast majority of people have no idea how dangerous this is for a republic.
The weaponization of the political system will be our downfall.
We’re frogs in warm water and most won’t care until it’s boiling and too late.
They let their romance become rusty, take each other for granted, allow other interests or clouds of neglect to obscure the vision of what their marriage really could be. Marriages would be happier if nurtured more carefully.
Marriage brings greater possibilities for happiness than does any other human relationship. Yet some married couples fall short of their full potential.
Why we should celebrate American Independence. I’d love to share what I think is so special, so unique about America.
For starters, our founding documents and our founding fathers were truly genius. America is built upon a foundation of “negative rights”. These are inalienable rights, endowed by your creator, free from the interference of Government. Freedoms of speech, freedom of property, freedom to pursue happiness.
As opposed to the pursuit of happiness, other countries make the promise of happiness. They give away gifts, they entitle you to “positive rights”. The right to health care, the right to a home, the right to recreation. But all of these rights come at the cost of negative rights. Your property sacrificed for another’s home. Your labor sacrificed for another’s health care. Your speech sacrificed for another’s happiness.
Our founders were geniuses who stood on the shoulders of thousands of years western enlightenment from Judeo-Christian ethics to Aristotle to James Madison. Special. But maybe even more importantly what makes us special is our culture, our people.
We’re a nation of pioneers. Every immigrant who came here came with the courage for a better life. We sailed across the Atlantic, we pushed West, we risked getting scalped, we drilled holes in the ground, we started businesses. We're risk takers, entrepreneurs, and frontiersmen. From Manifest Destiny to Normandy, we were never paralyzed by fear.
That American spirit built upon that enlightened American foundation is special and worth celebrating.
Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸
I have a confession to make: when I hear the national anthem on the 4th of July, when the fireworks begin, I begin to cry like a baby. To me, as an immigrant who this great nation rescued from a violent Islamic revolution and offered every opportunity and protection, this is almost a religious holiday to me. I bleed red, white, and blue. And I want to say why I do.
We are perhaps the only place on earth where a non-English-speaking immigrant from an enemy nation can be welcomed here, educated here, allowed to attend the very best institutions, and find a fulfilling and impactful profession, not to mention (despite my weird name) be on national TV every week. We are the nation that discovered electricity, invented the light bulb, the internet, self-driving cars and self-landing rockets, cured and treated numerous cancers and defeated the Nazis. And we are a nation where we are FREE (with some recent exceptions that we must fix) to demand even more freedom and criticize our government without fearing being jailed, beaten, or killed.
So many try to trash the USA 🇺🇸, claiming we lack opportunity for all, are racist, are unfair, harm the environment/climate, and we are simply evil. I’m here to say that all this is WRONG?
Do we have problems? Yes. Can we do (a lot) better? Yes. Are we perfect? Absolutely not. But in the very same way that I love my kids, that we ALL love our own kids, despite their flaws, I love America despite its imperfections and feel a DUTY to make our country better. We don’t abandon or stop loving our kids because they did something wrong — instead, we recognize an obligation to improve them. To show them how they went astray and them help them fix it, no matter what that takes.
The very same applies to our country. Loving the USA with a passion and giving constructive criticism aren’t mutually exclusive - they’re deeply connected!
Especially in the midst of an election cycle, where politicians and media try to divide us and show us how different we are, we must remember who we are and how much we share in common. We are the only nation founded on the principles of freedom, equality, free speech, and the right to defend ourselves against tyranny. Do yourself a favor today: actually sit down and read the Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Remember our roots. And then recognize that, despite the nonsense that we are regularly fed, we all want the same things. We’re on the same team. And let’s start acting that way.
God Bless America 🇺🇸. Happy Independence Day. #LetFreedomRing
