@SamaHoole I used to eat a lot of spinach. Will never go back. Thankfully my husband (not carnivore) doesn't like spinach, so I don't have to worry about cooking any for him!
@JesseKellyDC You are so right. Dems in charge of America's 250 would have been a depressing disaster. Trump and his administration, including the State Fair, have done an amazing job, and it's not over yet!
@AndyGoldney@SamaHoole I've been experimenting with more salt, less salt, salt throughout the day... Have yet to find the right balance. I'm also taking magnesium glycinate, as recommended. It's a real challenge.
We’re going to win on this birthright citizenship issue. We’re just not going to win quite yet. The America First movement is not complete. It’s not even halfway. It’s in its infancy stage. The things we all want now WILL come to pass over time. Stay involved and keep working.
Dear Sophie Cunningham,
You absolute chaotic saint, thank you. While the rest of the WNBA was busy doing boring things like dribbling and scoring, you ascended Mount Petty and delivered the single greatest athletic achievement of the 21st century: the 22-second Point Heard ‘Round the World. DeWanna rolled up with big emotions; you just hit her with the slow, unblinking finger of doom like a disappointed Victorian ghost who’d had enough of everyone’s nonsense. No words. No touching. Just pure, concentrated shade channeled through one perfectly extended index finger.
I haven’t been this proud since the invention of sarcasm itself. And now, right on schedule, I’m on the edge of my seat waiting for the left to have a full meltdown. Any second now some blue-check PhD in Grievance Studies will publish the groundbreaking essay “The Racialized Finger: How Sophie Cunningham’s Point Perpetuates White Supremacy in Women’s Sports.” They’ll claim your gesture was a “microaggression with macro consequences,” demand sensitivity training for all index fingers, and probably launch a https://t.co/hORTWK0zHN petition to ban pointing unless it’s been pre-approved by a DEI consultant and performed only in the approved “non-threatening” direction. “This isn’t just a point,” they’ll sob on MSNBC, “this is violence. This is erasure. This finger is literally the new burning cross.” Bonus points if they somehow tie it to climate change or student loan debt.
You turned a basketball game into performance art so powerful it broke the internet, launched a thousand memes, and made grown adults point at each other in grocery stores like it’s the new national greeting. The arena laughed until they cried. Your teammates looked like they wanted to give you a standing ovation. And somewhere right now a group of very serious people are writing strongly worded letters about how your finger is problematic, triggering, and needs to be canceled immediately for the good of democracy. Never change, Sophie. Keep wielding that lethal weapon of silent judgment. Keep protecting your squad with the world’s most elegant non-contact foul. And when the inevitable congressional hearing on “Toxic Pointing” begins, just walk in, look every senator dead in the eye, and give them the treatment they so richly deserve. We’re all out here practicing in the mirror like idiots, rewatching the clip on loop, and loving every glorious second of the mayhem you unleashed. This point didn’t just go viral, it went legendary. With breathless, slightly unhinged admiration and oceans of affectionate sarcasm.
🇺🇸 THE SUPREME COURT RULED AGAINST US TODAY. CONGRESS CAN STILL FIX THIS!
Before you throw your phone across the room, hear me out.
Yes, Barrett and Roberts sided with the liberals today. Yes, it is a gut punch. Yes, Alito's dissent is going to age like fine wine while this majority opinion ages like milk.
We covered all of that.
But this fight is not over. Not even close.
Here is what the majority opinion actually did, whether they intended to or not. They handed us a roadmap.
The Court ruled the way they did because the current federal election statutes are silent on when mail-in ballots must be RECEIVED. They only govern when elections must be HELD. The majority found that gap in the law and drove straight through it.
Congress can close that gap tomorrow!
This is not wishful thinking. This is constitutional bedrock. Article One of the Constitution gives Congress explicit authority to override state election rules for federal elections. They have done it before. In 1845 fraud was rampant because states held elections on different days and voters were crossing state lines casting multiple ballots. Congress stepped in and mandated a single uniform Election Day and that was the end of it.
One law fixed it then. One law can fix it now.
All Congress needs to do is pass legislation stating clearly that mail-in ballots in federal elections must be RECEIVED by Election Day, not merely postmarked. That is it. That closes the loophole the Court just created. The majority opinion even pointed toward this solution directly, essentially telling us that if the American people want this rule, go get it through your elected representatives.
So that is exactly what we are going to do.
This is where your energy belongs right now. Not in despair. Not in rage. In action. The midterms are coming and every single House seat matters. Every Senate seat matters. We have already primaried out a number of RINOs this cycle and the new Congress is going to look different from this one.
A bigger majority changes everything.
With enough seats we pass the legislation. We close the loophole. We establish once and for all that Election Day means what every honest American knows it means. The day you vote is the day your ballot had better be in the hands of election officials. Full stop.
The left thinks today's ruling ends this fight. It does not end anything. It clarifies the battlefield and points us directly at the next objective.
Roberts and Barrett may have failed us today. But the Founders did not. They built a system with a remedy for exactly this kind of moment. That remedy is Congress and Congress answers to us.
Stay in the fight. The next move is ours.
What the doctor says vs what it actually means.
“Your LDL is high.”
What it means: Your body is producing more of the molecule it uses to repair tissue, make hormones, and carry fat-soluble vitamins to your cells. That is biology doing its job.
“LDL is the bad cholesterol.”
What it means: LDL is a lipoprotein. A transport vehicle. It carries cholesterol to the cells that need it. There is no bad cholesterol. There is only cholesterol doing its job.
“You are at increased cardiovascular risk.”
What it means: A population-level risk calculator produced a percentage. It does not know your insulin level, your inflammation markers, or your LDL particle size. It knows your age and your total cholesterol number.
“Statins will reduce your risk by 50 percent.”
What it means: Your relative risk drops by 50 percent. Your absolute risk drops by around 1 percent. These are not the same number. One of them is used in the consultation. Malcolm Kendrick documents this distinction in Doctoring Data.
“Statins are well tolerated.”
What it means: Known side effects include muscle damage, fatigue, memory problems, and raised blood sugar. Well tolerated means most people stay on them.
“This is the standard of care.”
What it means: This is what the guidelines say. The guidelines were written by committees where financial conflicts of interest with pharmaceutical companies are well documented.
The doctor is not lying. They are following a protocol. The protocol is the problem.
Did your doctor explain the difference between relative risk and absolute risk before they wrote that prescription?
