A peaceful place or so it looks from space……. A closer look reveals the human race

[Felonious Punk @WichitaFrom]

Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields, the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds

BREAKING - Trump falls asleep AGAIN in Turkey.😴

What happened to not being an embarrassment...

@SpookyQuant @MrWokajxx I would be interested in Ninjatrader version for sure

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau had ONE goal: protect YOU from financial fraud. Trump gutted it.

It’s important to note that the CFPB didn’t cost taxpayers a single cent — and it saved Americans $21 BILLION before its destruction.

Trump didn’t care. It had Obama and Biden’s hard pro-American work all over it.

A bipartisan Senate Committee found Trump’s destruction has COST Americans $19 billion. In one year. By eliminating common sense things like limited bank overdraft fees to $5 and reduced medical debt impact on credit reports.

Are we great yet⁉️

Holy shit.

This is Fox reporting on the “Trump family: biggest grift of all time.”

For once, they accidentally wandered into the truth.

Mellor registered as a foreign agent for Cuba while running for Congress as a Republican, a week after Trump called communism the biggest threat to America since its founding. In his own FARA filing, the field asking which Cuban official he represents says: Unknown.

Trump destroyed the teams at DOJ dedicated to going after kleptocrats and oligarchs like Putin, right off the bat. It was the first of many favors. Trump/Russia is no hoax. https://t.co/KspmgA2mec

If they are willing to risk everything to stop their release, think about just how bad for them they must be.

Trump supporters, how did you become such a horrible stupid people?

[Reich-Wing Watch @ReichWingWatch]

🚨James Gosnell Jr. — the Charleston County magistrate who in 2015 told grieving Emanuel AME families that white supremacist shooter Dylann Roof’s relatives were “victims too” — has pleaded guilty to two federal charges: possession and distribution of child s*xual abuse material (CSAM).

Gosnell faces up to 20 years on each count, a mandatory minimum of 5 years, restitution, and lifetime sex offender registration.

Federal prosecutors say the CSAM recovered from Gosnell’s devices specifically included infants and toddlers.

In their motion opposing bond, they laid out Telegram communications between Gosnell and a co-defendant (who has already pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate) describing a planned trip to jointly abuse a infant, plus alleged references to past international trips connected to abusing young children abroad.

Gosnell spent months in jail claiming his devices were hacked (of course) and the CSAM was placed there. That story collapsed the moment a plea was on the table.

No matter how horrific the crimes, they always portray themselves of the victim.

Gosnell is the same judge reprimanded by the SC Supreme Court in 2003 for using a racial slur from the bench with a Black defendant.

A man who spent decades deciding who deserved the benefit of the doubt was, by prosecutors’ account, s*xually exploiting children this the whole time.

Sentencing date is to be determined.

Gosnell was originally appointed to the bench by Republican SC Governor David Beasley in 1996.

A friendly message to MAGA folks on this 4th of July weekend: you are the most traitorous, unpatriotic, anti-American, insurrectionist pieces of shit walking the earth right now. Fuck you.

Todd Blanche has missed his January 2nd deadline to release more unreacted Jeffrey Epstein files.

Instead, the sack of shit is asking for a two month delay claiming, get this, it’s to protect the victims identities.

[Donald Trump Portfolio Tracker @TrumpsPortfolio]

The president's son got FREE stock in a gun company one month after his dad won.

Then his dad's government proposed shipping guns to your doorstep like DoorDash.

Then mailing handguns through the post office.

Then cut the suppressor tax to $0.

Then legalized rapid-fire triggers.

Then killed the pistol brace rule — 7 MILLION guns back on the market.

34 deregulations. One spring. One executive order. One father.

And the SEC chair who approved the company's listing? He was at Don Jr.'s $500,000 private club 5 days after taking the job.

The company's own SEC filing calls Don Jr. an asset. They put the conflict of interest IN THE PROSPECTUS.

$PEW is the stock. Read more in bio.

If you read anything today you must read my article on Trump’s ownership in private prisons and ICE detention facilities. Trump’s policies on immigration are literally lining his pockets. Major new sources globally are not covering this story.

Why did Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell’s wife, run straight to China to meet with high ranking government officials, three days after he went into cardiac arrest? And why did the mainstream media cover up the EMS dispatch audio until I released it on social media?

[Forest Park Pharmacy @ForestParkPharm]

My wife and I own a pharmacy. Last month we spent days trying to pry one prescription loose from a company that did everything it could to hold onto it.

The drug was everolimus. A generic. It treats cancer and protects transplant patients from rejecting their new organ. Not exotic. Not rare. A pill.

The patient wanted it filled with us because we're cash-pay and cost-plus. No insurance. No PBM. No secret markups, no games. Our price was $318. That's not cheap by our standards — most of what we fill runs under $20 — but it was honest.

Here's what that same prescription looked like on the other side of the counter.

In 2023, Medicare was paying about $6,645 for it. That's roughly 21 times our price for the identical medication. Medicare spent around $240 million on everolimus alone that year. If they'd paid our price, they'd have saved roughly $230 million. On one generic drug.

So how does an insurance company profit off a drug that expensive? Don't they pay for it?

No. You pay for it. In your premiums. Their job isn't to spend less — it's to keep your healthcare dollars circulating inside their own companies. And the tool they use is called spread pricing.

Spread pricing works like this: the middleman bills the health plan one price, pays the pharmacy a lower one, and keeps the difference. You never see it. On TRICARE, they pay an independent pharmacy like mine about $311 to fill everolimus. That barely covers our cost of the drug. Meanwhile the plan gets billed thousands. That gap — north of $6,000 on a single fill — is pure margin the middleman pockets.

Now here's the part they'd rather you not think about.

The pharmacy we were fighting was Accredo. Accredo is owned by Express Scripts. Express Scripts is the pharmacy benefit manager owned by Cigna. Same company, three masks. That nesting-doll structure isn't an accident — it's the whole design. When the pharmacy, the PBM, and the insurer are all one entity, they can shuffle money between their own pockets and call it whatever they want. The confusion is the product.

And this isn't a story about one weird drug. It's the business model.

The FTC has been digging into exactly this. In its January 2025 report on the three biggest PBMs — CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx — staff found those companies marked up specialty generic drugs by hundreds and thousands of percent when dispensing through their own affiliated pharmacies. Just those markups generated more than $7.3 billion above what the drugs actually cost to acquire, from 2017 to 2022. One in five of the specialty generics they studied was marked up over 1,000%. Some cancer generics: over 3,000%. On top of that, the FTC pegged spread pricing on those same drugs at another $1.4 billion.

One example straight from the FTC's files: dimethyl fumarate, a multiple sclerosis drug. Costs about $177 to acquire. The PBMs paid their own pharmacies close to $4,000 for a 30-day supply. Same trick. Different drug.

And they steer the profitable ones to themselves on purpose. Pharmacies affiliated with the big three took in 68% of specialty dispensing revenue in 2023 — up from 54% in 2016. The prescriptions marked up more than $1,000 disproportionately end up at their own pharmacies, not independents like mine.

So when we called to transfer this patient's everolimus to be filled without insurance, it landed like we were asking them to set $6,000 on fire. Of course they stonewalled us.

That's why we fired them.

No insurance means no invisible $6,000 charge buried in a premium you can't itemize. It means the price you see is the price. Ours was $318. Theirs was thousands. Same pill.
