Dear Josh Stein,

My family were among the first to settle North Carolina . And throughout history, my ancestors have represented North Carolina in every capacity - politicians, sheriffs, soldiers.

These men? All 3x great grandfathers of mine. One from each NC region.

None of them were rich. None of them were raised on plantations. And not a single one of them ever owned another human being.

You dishonored them, their forefathers, and their descendants by refusing to send delegates to the Great American State Fair.

Now you want to put demands on the organizers who stood up to represent my people? Over a symbol that does, in fact, represent our history?

Of course you do. You’re a transplant. You don’t represent me or my people because you share no roots with us. The only folks you represent in NC are the ones who see the world through your lens. 🙄

Want input on things that represent NC? Then next time, swallow your pride and get off your butt. Otherwise, STFU.

Thanks,
The NC Queen

When the dermatologist was just on Fox News debunking the idea that some chemicals in sunscreen aren't good for us, it sounded illogically dismissive of the studies and research.

I took a quick look.

I didn’t hear her disclose her paid relationships with big sunscreen makers. ☀️

This is part of a trend that I discovered decades ago. It permeates our news media landscape.

I learned that nearly every member of the national board of experts that lowered cholesterol guidelines and basically recommended that people should take more statins, worked for the statin makers.

I learned that many members of the board set up during Covid that restricted hydroxychloroquine... were paid by the companies that made other controversial treatments for Covid like remdesivir that were then prioritized over hydroxychloroquine.

It doesn’t stop there.

When the government and the cosmetics industry tried to falsely debunk the scientific studies linking antiperspirants and breast cancer, they referred me to the American Cancer Society for an interview. I learned that the expert at the American Cancer Society hadn’t even read the relevant studies, and yet was claiming the link was a myth. I asked and found out that the American Cancer Society takes money from the antiperspirant industry and other allegedly cancer, causing industries. However, they wouldn’t tell me how much.

When the nonprofit “every child by" was illogically denying the proven vaccine autism link, I dug in and found out the nonprofit was actually started by a vaccine maker in order to defend vaccine companies, and to controversialist those of us exposing the risks.

I was the first journalist to ask and report that the expert the government kept referring us to in order to debunk the vaccine autism link, Dr. Paul Offit, was not an independent expert at all, but was a vaccine inventor and vaccine industry insider… though that was never disclosed in the media at the time. He was always presented falsely as if he were an independent expert.

When I saw a lead dietary group giving questionable advice about nutrition, I learned that the group takes money from the sugar, cola, fast food, and preservative snack industry.

In short, whenever I’ve looked for a tie between experts defending a chemical or risk that could impact an industry's bottom line... I’ve always found one. Food for thought.

"Dr. Jody Levine has financial and professional relationships with several prominent consumer product companies that manufacture and market sunscreens.
Because sunscreen is legally regulated as an over-the-counter drug and is a core component of commercial skincare lines, her consulting roles inherently create potential conflicts of interest when she recommends sun protection or reviews skincare products in the media. 

Her specific ties to major corporate sunscreen manufacturers include:

1. Johnson & Johnson / Kenvue

Dr. Levine has served on the Medical Advisory Board for Johnson & Johnson. Johnson & Johnson’s consumer health spin-off, Kenvue, owns Neutrogena and Aveeno, two of the largest and most widely distributed sunscreen brands in the United States. In her media and print features, she has regularly recommended product categories or specific options overlapping with these brands, such as recommending Neutrogena Sport Face in broad consumer media interviews. 

2. Galderma (Cetaphil)

She has acted as a consultant and advisor for Cetaphil, a brand owned by Galderma. Cetaphil produces a substantial line of daily facial moisturizers with SPF, mineral sunscreens, and broad-spectrum sun protection lotions marketed heavily toward sensitive skin and pediatric care. 

3. Beiersdorf (Eucerin)

Dr. Levine has maintained consulting arrangements with Eucerin, a brand under the Beiersdorf corporate umbrella. Eucerin manufactures a wide range of daily anti-aging lotions with SPF, sensitive skin sunscreens, and body sun protection products. 

Impact on Media Appearances

When Dr. Levine appears on networks like Fox News or in print publications to deliver general public health messages—such as advising viewers to apply sunscreen 15 minutes before going outside or warning against the dangers of tanning beds—she is providing standard medical advice aligned with the American Academy of Dermatology. However, because she does not routinely issue on-screen financial disclosures listing her corporate partners during short news segments, viewers are generally unaware that she is paid by the parent companies of the very products sitting on drugstore shelves."

Never forget that every one of the criminals in this picture were fully aware that “Trump/Russia Collusion” was a complete hoax that literally constituted a coup attempt against the Constitutional will of the American people.

It’s the worst political crime in U.S. history.

NEVER FORGET.😡

RE: George W. Bush

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s. This cost me friends and exposed me to relentless personal attacks. I defended his CHARACTER. I thought what I was doing was right. I was wrong.

I did not believe—and still do not believe—that he “lied” us into the war in Iraq. My belief was and is based on my knowledge of classified pre-war intelligence and my service early in the war on the Iraqi base that was most suspected to include WMD storage.

I defended Bush against “Bush lied, people died.” I defended Bush against “Chimpy McBushitler” and all of the other spurious Democrat insults that served only to undermine the war effort I had been fighting.

But while I defended Bush, he NEVER defended himself.

Then, when a true Marxist was elected President in the form of the worst human being to occupy the Oval Office since Woodrow Wilson (i.e., Barack Obama), Bush was SILENT. He never, ever spoke out against Obama, and even cozied up to him and Michelle, which I assumed was part of the tradition of former Presidents never criticizing their successors. (I was wrong in my assumption.)

THEN Donald Trump was elected President by America and suddenly Bush found his voice in criticizing serving Presidents. Why would he do this to a member of his own party other than because Trump was an outsider determined to dismantle the tyranny of the federal administrative state?

I now know that George W. Bush is a Deep State charlatan of extremely low character. Allegiance to the Deep State and The Swamp trumps any allegiance he may have ever had to his own party, the United States of America, the Constitution, or the American people.

He is despicable.

Surprisingly, I now find him more objectionable than the other Presidents in this picture. At least they let us know who they actually were.

One of my great regrets in life is the way I defended George W. Bush in the early 2000s.

GOD BLESS OUR AMERICAN TROOPS! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[TonemanLives 🇺🇸🇮🇹 @TonemanLives]

Before we arrived at the place we are at today, before all the political bullshit, before this nation became so divided, filled with hatred, before all the corruption by both parties in DC., before Politicians sold out their country for greed and power, before the cesspool filled with rot and filth became the Swamp, before we all arrived here, we lived in a much different America.

There was once this place. A very special place. A very magical place. A place where your freedoms were a part of life and your privacy respected. In this place we loved thy neighbor and always helped those in need. We never lived in fear. We went to work, paid our bills and enjoyed everything this place had to offer.

We didn’t worry about politics, we just worked hard and raised our families the right way, teaching them about love and respect, teaching them about love for God. A really great place. Almost seems unimaginable, too good to be true, but it’s not. It’s very real. That place? The greatest place in the world. That place is the United States of America

If you were fortunate enough to grow up here, you know exactly what I’m talking about. We respected those in charge, we respected law and order. We respected police officers and we owe a debt that can never be repaid to our brave men and women in our military.

This was our America. This was the America we were fortunate enough to grow up in. Most would think there isn’t a better place to be in the world. So why would anyone want to destroy this place? Because that is what Evil does. It destroys all the good in the world and replaces it with hate and division. Evil doesn’t believe in your happiness, evil believes in misery. Evil believes in having the power to own you. Enslave you. Make you their personal property. Freedoms? Gone. Love? Dead. Your faith in God? No longer allowed. Evil wants control. Evil wants to call all the shots.

Evil took us down a path which met its crossroad. It was Good trying to defeat the Evil. It was Good trying to hold onto our America hoping and praying for help to arrive. Help did arrive. Help is here. You see there was a man who also cherished the America being ripped away from us. That man, a businessman decided to put his money where his mouth was and took on the challenge. He is fighting the Evil. He literally put his life on the line for we the people as well as our country.

Trump didn’t do it for the money, hell, he has plenty of that. He did it for two reasons. For love of our country and for love of we the people. We owe him a debt that can never be repaid and we will proudly stand with him until the very end.

We are MAGA. The real MAGA. Not just some spoiled posers who all went running once the shit hit the fan. We are MAGA strong and we not only appreciate all that Trump has done but we will all stand behind him till the very end, the same way he gave up his lavish lifestyle for all of us.

Without him this country would be all but lost. Taken away forever. We don’t forget. MAGA doesn’t forget. Thank you President Trump. My two cents

[GregGutfeld @greggutfeld]

i came to the conclusion that this story is so awful that we have no way to punish it. to commit to an appropriate measure of justice is beyond our willingness to do it.

[Restoring Your Faith in Humanity @HumanityChad]

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

There is a new field in this universe, and standing in it, at last at ease, is an old soldier. His name is Hector.

He is a Cavalry Black, a big Irish-bred gelding the better part of seventeen hands, and for seventeen years he served with the Household Cavalry in London, on State and Ceremonial duty, which is a polite phrase for the hardest thing you can ask of a horse.

Understand what that means. A horse is a flight animal. Every instinct in it, refined across millions of years of being prey, says one word in the face of sudden noise and pressing crowds: run. Hector was trained, over years, to do the opposite. To stand. To carry a rider in a steel breastplate down the Mall through a wall of sound, past the bands and the cheering and the saluting guns of the King's Troop, and not move a muscle. To hold himself still on a state occasion while every nerve in his body screamed at him to bolt, and to do it again, and again, faultlessly, because the man on his back and the crowd at his shoulder were trusting half a tonne of flight animal to master its own nature on command.

He walked behind a gun carriage at a state funeral once, at the slow march, the drum beating the step, a nation watching through its tears, and he never put a hoof wrong.

He is retired now. The shoes are off. The clipped parade coat has been let go woolly and unmilitary, the first sign the people who tend old service horses look for that one is finally letting down. He shares a green field with a small unbothered donkey called Nelson, because a horse should never be alone, and the black charger who stood behind kings and the donkey who has never had a worry in his life are now inseparable. When his old groom visits, Hector lifts his head and nickers across the field before the man has said a word.

And here is the part that undoes everyone who knows what they are seeing. One afternoon they found Hector lying flat out on his side in the grass, dead still, and a heart stopped, the way every horseman's does at that sight, because a horse down and flat looks like the worst news there is. Then an ear flicked at a fly, and the breath went out of them in relief. He was simply, deeply asleep. A horse only sleeps like that when it feels entirely safe, because flat on the ground is the one place a prey animal cannot flee from, and most never dare it. For seventeen years Hector stood, awake to every danger, holding everyone else's nerve so they could rely on him. Now, in a quiet field, he has decided it is finally safe to lie down and close his eyes.

He gave his courage to the rest of us for seventeen years. He has earned the grass. He is taking it lying down, in the sun, with the donkey keeping watch.
