🚨🇺🇸The Senate just killed the SAVE Act, 48-50.

Voter ID and proof of citizenship, supported by over 80% of Americans, dead.

Four Republicans voted no: Tillis, Murkowski, McConnell, Collins.

The uniparty showed its face today...

Great examples and a strong conclusion. “"Settled science" is the phrase people reach for when they would quite like you to stop asking questions.”

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

If science were never to be questioned, your doctor would still be recommending a particular brand of cigarette to settle the nerves.

You'd be dosing the baby with heroin cough syrup, because Bayer sold it over the counter.

You'd be rubbing cocaine on its gums for teething, and the chemist would recommend the stronger tube.

The DDT lorry would still come round to fog the street while the children carried on playing in the spray.

Your surgeon would be reaching for the icepick, because the man who pioneered the lobotomy was given a Nobel Prize for it.

Pregnant women would be handed thalidomide for their morning sickness, with a reassuring pat on the shoulder.

You'd be drinking radium tonic for your energy and brushing with radioactive toothpaste for the glow.

Stomach ulcers would still be filed under "stress," and the man who proved they were bacterial would still be a laughing stock.

Butter would be the villain and margarine the heart-healthy hero, on the firmest medical advice going.

Lead would still be in your petrol, your paint and your water pipes, certified harmless by the people selling it.

All of it, in its day, was the consensus. Settled. Beyond polite debate.

"Settled science" is the phrase people reach for when they would quite like you to stop asking questions.

@JamieErdahl Sorry to hear about your Dad, Jamie. My Dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last September, and he passed away in December. Brutal disease. Great of you to remember the wonderful things about your Dad. I do the same. Grieve, celebrate him, pass on his wisdom, and be well. ❤️

[Tuck Mixon @TuckMixon]

Wow!

[Tuck Mixon @TuckMixon]

Shocking, sad, and not surprising.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

RFK Jr. told Tucker Carlson the CDC buried its own internal study showing a 1135% INCREASE in autism risk from hepatitis B vaccination.

The researchers were shocked.

So they covered it up.

How?

“They got rid of all the older children essentially and just had younger children who are TOO YOUNG TO BE DIAGNOSED [with autism],” Kennedy explained.

Imagine discovering evidence of catastrophic harm and making sure no one ever found out.

Then, telling everyone it’s “safe.”

If health authorities are willing to keep a signal this alarming hidden from you, what else are they not telling you about vaccines?

Is it possible that your child’s allergies or chronic immune issues didn’t appear organically, but were triggered by vaccination instead? 🧵

[Tuck Mixon @TuckMixon]

@KatTimpf Prayers for you and your family @KatTimpf . You were blessed to have such a wonderful Dad. May God be with you and comfort you in your grief. My Dad passed away in December after a short battle with pancreatic cancer. I miss him, and I'm happy for him that he is with the Lord.

My favorite line in this post: "The science of heart health is not settled. And cholesterol is not a simple story." What does your doctor tell you?

[Nick Norwitz MD PhD @nicknorwitz]

🚨New Paper: "Seven Years of 700 Cholesterol Without Coronary Atherosclerosis: A Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Case Report"

Link: https://t.co/5VnRpZlFdR

For the past 7 years, I’ve been running what is essentially a natural experiment in cholesterol and heart health.

During that time, I’ve largely lived with:

👉Total cholesterol around 700 mg/dl
👉LDL cholesterol between 500–600 mg/dL

I recently underwent advanced coronary CT angiography imaging with AI-guided analysis. This is not a CAC. It measures all plaque (soft + calcified), with expert interpretation and AI-guided analysis capable of quantifying plaque down to the cubic millimeter (mm3).

Now, to address the obvious question:

Am I too young for plaque?

In brief: No.

The clearest comparison is individuals with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, who often have similarly extreme LDL/ApoB levels and can develop advanced plaque as toddlers, and even heart attacks as early as age 8.

Also, nutrition influencers in their 30s have publicly shared quantified plaque scores from these same imaging technologies. In one recent case, a plant-based influencer in his thirties was found to have 61.3 mm³ of plaque despite having far lower lifetime LDL exposure. (He can identify himself if he so chooses.)

My case also isn’t a one-off.

There are many individuals like me, including older individuals with similar LDL-C and ApoB without any plaque.

The difference is that I’m an unusually well-characterized subject, with extensive metabolic data and health markers tracked over time. You can learn more at the newsletter or open-access paper, linked above.

The science of heart health is not settled. And cholesterol is not a simple story.

In 1962, C.S. Lewis was asked to name the books that most influenced his life philosophy.

The list he came up had many classics, but also some lesser known gems. Here’s his list:

Great post about reducing visceral fat!

[Ábris Babicz | The Demi Cycle Protocol 🧬 @AbrisGains]

Your liver, heart, and pancreas are drowning in fat.

It's called visceral fat, and it pumps inflammatory chemicals straight into your bloodstream 24/7.

This is why you're tired, foggy, and gaining weight almost no matter what you eat.

Here are 8 ways to destroy it:🧵

[Tuck Mixon @TuckMixon]

Corruption kills, and the corrupt don’t care.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

In 1953 an American physiologist called Ancel Keys stood up at a World Health Organization conference in Geneva and presented a graph.

The graph plotted fat consumption against heart disease mortality in six countries. The United States at the top. Japan at the bottom. A smooth upward curve in between. The room was convinced. The graph would go on to define global nutrition policy for the next seventy years.

There was one small problem with the graph.

Keys had data from twenty-two countries. He chose six.

The other sixteen, which included France and Switzerland eating vast quantities of butter and cheese with low heart disease, and countries like Chile eating almost no animal fat and having high heart disease, did not produce the line he wanted. So they were not on the graph.

When this was pointed out, in print, at the time, Keys did not engage with the science. He launched a career.

He became chair of the American Heart Association's nutrition committee. He got himself on the cover of Time magazine. He organised the Seven Countries Study, a sequel to the cherry-picked six, which selected populations and time points that would confirm his hypothesis and excluded those that would not. Crete was measured during Lent. The comparisons were, by design, not fair.

Then he did the thing that turned him from a scientist into a politician.

He went after the opposition.

Dr John Yudkin, a British physiologist, published a book in 1972 called Pure, White and Deadly, arguing that sugar was a better fit for the heart disease data than fat. His data covered more populations, more years, and more accurately matched the rise in cardiovascular mortality across the twentieth century.

Keys called him, in print, a charlatan. He used his position at the AHA to block Yudkin's research from conferences. He pressured editors. He lobbied funders. Yudkin's grants dried up. His reputation was systematically dismantled by a man who was, at this point, not doing science but running a protection racket for a hypothesis.

Yudkin died in 1995 in obscurity. His work has since been quietly vindicated. Nobody has apologised.

Meanwhile the American Heart Association, funded since 1948 by a $1.7 million donation from Procter and Gamble (makers of Crisco, a product that urgently needed a reason for Americans to stop cooking with lard), adopted Keys's recommendations and issued them as medical advice.

The American public complied. Butter consumption collapsed. Margarine tripled. Seed oils, negligible in 1950, became the dominant cooking fat. The food industry reformulated thousands of products to remove fat and replace it with sugar, because the fat was the enemy and the sugar was not.

American obesity rates, stable for fifty years, began to climb in 1977, the year the McGovern committee translated Keys's hypothesis into federal guidelines.
They have not stopped climbing since.

Type 2 diabetes followed. Metabolic syndrome followed. Fatty liver disease, which barely existed in 1950, became endemic. The entire constellation of chronic metabolic disease now occupying every doctor surgery in the developed world tracks, almost perfectly, onto the adoption curve of the guidance Keys spent his career promoting.

He retired to Italy, drank olive oil, ate cheese, lived to 100, and described himself in interviews as a pioneer.

He was a pioneer.

He pioneered the practice of producing a predetermined conclusion from selective data, destroying the reputations of anyone who noticed, and using institutional capture to convert the conclusion into policy.

Ancel Keys was not wrong the way scientists are sometimes wrong.

Ancel Keys was wrong the way politicians are wrong.

Deliberately. Profitably. Without consequence.

You are still eating the consequences now.

[Jeremiah J. Johnston, PhD @_jeremiahj]

I stood in this piazza in Turin, Italy, with two of the greatest Shroud scientists alive — and I think about it almost every day. 📷
On my left, physicist Prof. Paolo Di Lazzaro — the man whose laser experiments at ENEA required 34 billion watts of energy lasting no more than 1/40th of a billionth of a second to even partially replicate the Shroud’s image. Any longer and the cloth would have been incinerated. And even then, they still couldn’t fully reproduce it. No known natural or human process can explain what is on that cloth. On my right, mathematician Prof. Bruno Barberis — who dismantled the flawed 1988 radiocarbon dating that the world’s headlines used to call the Shroud a fake, and whose statistical analysis calculated just a 1 in 200 billion chance that the Man of the Shroud is anyone other than Jesus of Nazareth.
1 in 200 billion.
These aren’t men of faith chasing a relic. These are world-class scientists who followed the evidence — and the evidence stopped them in their tracks.
Modern science cannot explain how it was made. No laboratory has ever replicated it. Not once.
My answer hasn’t changed.
The Man of the Shroud is Jesus of Nazareth. And the empty cloth is the greatest archaeological echo of the greatest event in human history — the Resurrection.
This research went straight into my new book The Jesus Discoveries — available now wherever books are sold. If the Shroud intrigues you, this book was written for you. Link in my bio.

The resurrection of Jesus is real, and the shroud is evidence of that reality.

[The SCIF @TheSCIF]

On Easter, A.D. 33, the superficial image of the Resurrection of Jesus was created on the Shroud of Turin. It would take 34,000 BILLION watts of energy, traveling at 1/40th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine-linen shroud to leave the image that it did. We do not have that type of power on Earth.

The Shroud of Turin is only .02 microns thin, and can be scrapped off with a knife, and science has proven it is not paint, pigment, die, and there are no brush stokes. What is most absolutely fascinating is that there is Type-AB blood all over the shroud. Which is a priestly line of blood, which is only 6% of the world's population and connected to Jesus.

There is also a criminologist by the name of Max Fry who took pollen samples from the Shroud of Turin. He found 58 pollens on the shroud. 38 of them are from Jerusalem that only bloom in spring time during Passover. The last remaining 20 pollens follow the provenance of where the Shroud of Turin has been for the last 2000 years.
