After a long departure, I’m back to enjoy the “new Twitter.” Moderately Conservative. Conservatively Liberal. Liberally Moderate. Nearly retired.

@ZubyMusic What?!?!? 😂

@MarkHalperin Sorry. Got it in 3. :)

I’ve stood by POTUS through a lot of things. But I deplore the way he posted about the tragic murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. We all deserved better.

[Tim Childers @TimChilders08]

@BellaBaddie__ In the Shetland Islands. I don’t want to leave.

[Tim Childers @TimChilders08]

I grew up with Rob Reiner on my television. My dad was a huge fan of All in the Family, and Rob's interactions with his father-in-law were epic entertainment. As a director, he has impacted American cinema for decades to come. His impact on movie-making will be sorely missed.

@goddek Don't become what you hate.

Scott Adams: The No Kings rally is an imaginary solution to an imaginary problem that only exists to make money for the organizers

@ScottAdamsSays “So, first of all, nobody's stealing their democracy.

Second of all, there is no logical, common sense way that people wandering around this weekend on a nice autumn day is going to change anything in the real world.

…All that really mattered was, did they get paid?

And the answer is yes.”

America is a great country.
There's a line in the very good film THE LAST BLACK MAN IN SAN FRANCISCO (2019). The lead character is on the bus and hears two young women discussing how they dislike San Francisco. He tells them, "You don't get to hate it, unless you love it."
When you love a place, you hate anything that pulls it from its core.
If you don't love it, you don't get to 'hate' it.
If you don't love America, we don't want to hear what you have to say about America.

Scott Adams: I sacrificed everything, and today it was worth it.

@ScottAdamsSays “MAGA supporters, you all took a personal and professional risk for the benefit of the country, and you knew that it was going to cost you dearly.

You lost family members, you lost friends, you lost jobs. It cost you money.

And you were right in the end. You bet the right way.”

It's time for people with Trump Derangement Syndrome to admit they were wrong.

Cancelled Netflix and subscribed to Angel Studios as its replacement. First watch? RKF: Legacy documentary. What a powerful testament to the memory of RFK and his impact on the future of RFK, Jr. A recommended watch.

Better news! Way to go UTC.

Was able to confirm this morning that the TPUSA chapter @UTChattanooga has been approved now after the school overruled the student gov association who tried to stop the chapter formation. Congrats to TPUSA’s new chapter!

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has denied Turning Point USA’s RSO (Registered Student Organization) request following a vote by the Student Government Association.

This decision effectively blocks our students from gaining official recognition on campus. As a result, the students will be forced to restart the process, reapplying and once again facing the same SGA that has already demonstrated clear bias against them.

Tennessee, are these the values of your state? Your tax dollars are propping this garbage up.

The American Heart Assn. Has Changed 'Normal' Blood Pressure To 110/70...Every Time They Lower The Numbers, Millions Of People Need Drugs.

In 1970, Normal BP Was 160/95. In 1985 It Was 140/90. And Now 120/80 Is Considered 'Elevated.'

That's Not Medicine. That's $40B Marketing.

The bar has been lowered once again & under new guidelines, more Americans meet the criteria for high blood pressure & are pressured to start taking antihypertensive medications.

The AHA & ACC (American Heart Association & American College of Cardiology) in August 2025 just released hypertension 'updated' guidelines shifting 10 points lower across all categories in order to make more people diagnosed as hypertensive to prescribe more drugs.

'Normal' is now 110/70 or less.
'Elevated' is now 120/80 & qualifies for blood pressure medications.
'Stage 1 Hypertension' is now 130/80 & qualifies for even greater aggressive medication.

Here's why this is not medicine but marketing...

The new guidelines are based on results of a large, federally funded study called SPRINT, backed by pharmaceutical giants & stockholders...which found a 25% 'relative risk' reduction in cardiovascular events using a lower blood pressure target.

25% reduction was the 'relative risk reduction' not the 'absolute risk reduction.' Relative risk reduction is useless & misleading, whereas absolute risk reduction is the actual percent helped by an intervention.

The absolute reduction in cardiovascular events was only 2% – SPRINT also used an especially high-risk population, so patients with low or average risk for cardiovascular events had 0% benefit or absolute reduction.

Is lower blood pressure always better? definitely not...

The AHA & ACC assume that a lower blood pressure is always better, but some primary care doctors challenge that doctrine. “Once you get to a certain point, if you lower blood pressure further, your rate of stroke & heart attack increases,” says Dr Andy Lazris, primary care doctor & Right Care Alliance council chair.

Doctors are graded on how well they get patients to the new hypertension target. These grades affect doctors’ pay.

Dr. Andy Lazris admits, “If I lower my patient’s blood pressure & they fall and break their hip due to the medication causing dizziness & fainting...I still get paid.”

“Treating blood pressure with medicine is a risky intervention,” says  Dr. Ronald Adler, associate professor of family medicine & community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

“BP medications cause adverse effects such as kidney & electrolyte abnormalities, not to mention the increased risks of complications such as dizziness & falls that inevitably result when BP is lowered too much,” says Adler, “Because the new guidelines suggest that people be treated initially with 2 drugs, such experiences will be even more common.”

Side Effects of Blood Pressure Medications:
Heart palpitations
Fainting
Kidney dysfunction
Angioedema (swelling of face/tongue)
Joint pain
Chronic cough
Low sodium & potassium
Dizziness
Headache
Dehydration
Muscle cramps
Gout
Insomnia
Constipation
Tiredness
Depression
Slow heartbeat
Symptoms of asthma
Sexual dysfunction

Your own unique optimal blood pressure can be obtained thru diet & lifestyle interventions:

A whole foods diet consisting of low sugar, no seed oils, no processed foods & including abundant nutrient dense animal sourced foods will normalize blood pressure for you.

Prioritizing the minerals Potassium & Magnesium is crucial. Both are involved in the body's Sodium Potassium Pump System. Supporting these important minerals by using unrefined mineral salt & in supplements when needed to heal deficiency will also yield your own normal Blood Pressure.

Bioavailable Magnesium needs are at least 600 mg per day & Potassium guidelines are at minimum 4,700 mg per day. Most people do not even get 50% of these minimums, leaving their heart & blood vessels to work harder than our physiology is intended to.

Dr Gilbert Welch, Dartmouth professor, "focusing on the number 110/70 not only will involve millions of people but also will involve millions of new prescriptions & millions of dollars."

"It distracts doctors & their patients from activities that aren't easily measured by numbers, yet are more important to health — real food, regular movement & finding meaning in life. These matter whatever your blood pressure is."
