Start doing the right thing and referring to socialists as communists.

We don’t have time to beat around the bush to protect sensibilities anymore.

@boehmerB Why does Charlies basement wine-tasting room have a bunch of flags lined up against the wall?

Weird...

Been carnivore for 6 years.

Used to burn within 30 minutes of sun exposure.

Red, peeling, miserable.
Now? I can spend hours in direct sun with zero sunscreen and my skin just... tans. Like a normal human.

What changed? Removed seed oils.

Your cell membranes are made of fat. When you eat polyunsaturated seed oils, they integrate into your cells and oxidise under UV light. That's the burn.

Saturated fat from beef doesn't oxidise. Your skin becomes sun-resistant naturally.

You don't need factor 50. You need to stop eating seed oils.

The solution to sunburn has been staring at us the entire time: Stop putting industrial lubricants in your body.

On the final day of the Constitutional Convention, as the last delegates were signing their names, 81 year old Benjamin Franklin looked up at the chair behind George Washington.

On the back of the chair was a sun.

Franklin had stared at that sun for months through every bitter argument, every deadlock and every moment he wondered whether the whole thing would collapse.

He turned to the men near him and said:

“I have often and often, in the course of the session, looked at that behind the President without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now at length I have the happiness to know that it is a rising and not a setting sun.”

The knowledge that seed oils stay in your body for 2-5 years makes it that much harder to justify a cheat day.

A doughnut fried in seed oil this weekend could still be sitting in your fat stores in 2028. The linoleic acid goes straight into the fat and settles in, with a half-life of about two years.

One doughnut isn't a treat. It's a deposit that takes years to drain.

Suddenly it loses its appeal when the receipt runs to 2028.

250 years ago today, on June 29, 1776, New Yorkers looked out at the water and saw a nightmare on the horizon. The British fleet had arrived, and so many ships filled the bay that witnesses said the masts looked like "a forest of pine trees" growing out of the sea. The timing could not have been more brutal.

This was the empire's answer to the rebellion, and it was overwhelming. The first wave of around 45 warships and transports dropped anchor off Sandy Hook and Staten Island carrying General William Howe and roughly 10,000 troops. Within days it kept growing. Then his brother Admiral Richard Howe arrived with more. It would eventually swell into one of the largest seaborne invasion forces of the entire 18th century, hundreds of ships and tens of thousands of professional soldiers and German mercenaries, aimed at one city.

Now sit with the timing. While that forest of masts was filling the harbor, delegates down in Philadelphia were in the final days of debating whether to declare independence. They voted for it on July 2 and signed off on the wording on July 4. So at the exact moment America was being born on paper, the most powerful military on earth was already anchored off its coast, getting ready to strangle it in the cradle.

The people of New York understood exactly what they were seeing. Alarm bells rang, panic spread through the streets, and soldiers sprinted to their posts to stare at a force they had almost no hope of matching. Washington's army was outnumbered, outgunned, and about to get badly beaten in the battles for New York that followed.

That's the part that gets lost in the fireworks every Fourth of July. Independence wasn't declared from a position of strength. It was declared with an enemy armada already sitting on the doorstep, knowing full well what was coming. They signed their names anyway.

Carnivore had a beautiful simplicity when it started. Get rid of the plants. Eat fatty animal food until you're full. Stop. That was the entire instruction manual, and it worked so well it didn't need a second page.

Then the influencers arrived, because a thing that simple cannot be monetised.

Suddenly you weren't allowed to just eat a ribeye. You had to go nose to tail, choke down spleen and testicle for the trace minerals. You had to fret about your folate. You had to learn your MTHFR status, balance your methionine against your glycine, track your copper to zinc ratio, worry your oxalate dumping was happening too fast, and decode a metabolic pathway chart that looked like the London Underground.

It got so complicated that people needed a coach, a course, and a cupboard of desiccated organs just to eat meat.

Then, one by one, they faded out. The pathways got too convoluted even for them, or they pivoted to honey, or they simply ran out of new anxieties to sell.

And after all the noise, look who's still standing. The same people doing the same thing they were doing at the start. Getting rid of the plants. Eating fatty animal food until they're full. No chart, no coach, no testicle.

Turns out the instruction manual really was one page.

@LukaszukAB can you get on that.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but postmarks are NOT a secure way of determining when something was actually mailed. 😂😂😂😂

Postage machines are widely available and easily manipulated.

This ruling is incredibly reckless.

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

Why would he want it called off?

He got hundreds of thousands of people to sign a petition demanding it.

Perhaps something with the third party advertiser disclosure rules has him worried for some reason.

[ThePersistence @ScottPresler]

The SCOTUS ruling on mail-in ballots being allowed AFTER Election Day

is complete vindication for our work to pass the SAVE America Act

& only makes the way I was treated in South Dakota look even more profoundly unfair.

The timing is impeccable.

It’s almost poetic.

🇬🇧 CONVENT AND ST PATRICK BURIAL SITE BURN DOWN IN DOWNPATRICK, MEDIA SAYS NOTHING

Yesterday the convent and the burial place of Saint Patrick himself in Downpatrick was reduced to ashes.

Locals say it was arson. The resting place of the patron saint of Ireland set on fire, and the legacy media has nothing to say. The politicians have nothing to say.

A Catholic site tied to one of the most important figures in the history of these islands burns, and you get silence.

That silence tells you everything.

[Election Wizard @ElectionWiz]

The Supreme Court ballot decision doesn't say late ballots are required; it says current federal law doesn't ban them. Congress can change that tomorrow. Voter ID, proof of citizenship, Election Day deadlines: all within Congress's power over federal elections.

@InfantryPilot My marina shuttle in HNL (from Costo to LaMariana) had tradewinds A/C and worked pretty well. On a beer run, things got stacked a bit higher and blocked the wind somewhat.
