Hello again.
We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip.
The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity.
I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool.
I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy.
I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know.
I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia.
A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia.
This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was.
And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
Thanks for reading.
Under fire from MD or DO anesthesiologists who claim their job title is being misappropriated, the American Association of Nurse Anesthesiology (AANA) has withdrawn applications to register trademarks for two variations on its name.
The AANA will keep using its revised name, however, keeping alive the battle over whether the clinicians long known as “nurse anesthetists” can rebrand themselves as “nurse anesthesiologists.”
Here’s what you need to know about this ongoing dispute. https://t.co/sX9BchVrvo
New findings suggest the heart’s mechanical activity actively restrains tumor growth, revealing a pathway that could inspire future cancer treatments.

GLP-1 receptor agonists are being prescribed to tens of millions of patients with obesity. What no one can yet answer is whether those drugs are protecting their peripheral nerves or damaging them further. Small clinical studies suggest GLP-1 receptor agonists may improve nerve structure in patients with diabetic neuropathy, yet other studies document cases where patients develop peripheral neuropathy because of rapid weight loss due to GLP-1 drugs.
That question gained new urgency with a recently published Nature study. A team at Helmholtz Munich in Oberschleißheim, Germany, used an AI system called MouseMapper to scan every nerve, immune cell, and 31 organs in a transparent mouse body — all at once. What they found suggests obesity-associated nerve damage extends far beyond the extremities where clinicians typically measure it. Read more on the study: https://t.co/PnEaru6ME5
TEXAS: Why would the governor hire a registered Democrat to decide which filmmakers get $1.5 billion in taxpayer money? Stephanie Whallon, the head of the Texas Film Commission, gets to decide which movies taxpayers will fund. Why not get a conservative like Matthew Marsden @matthewdmarsden to pick the films we're going to fund?

I'm filing articles of impeachment against "Judge" Sparkle L. Sooknanan.
Her power grab against President Trump cannot be tolerated. Rogue judges like her are destroying the rule of law while communists undermine America.
We have the RIGHT to know that only AMERICANS are voting in our elections.
Americans elected Trump to lead, not the rogue judges who are behaving as activists for the communists cloaked in their black robes.
Jet2 "Islamophobia"?
There's been a video going viral of Muslims verbally attacking airport staff accusing them of "Islamophobia" because they were removed from a flight.
Yet it's literally normal policies being used and not only Muslims were removed.
Crying wolf as always.
Egypt forgot how to build the pyramids.
Rome forgot how to build the aqueducts. Some still carry water today. What they built still stands. Neither civilization remembers how they did it.
Musk: “You look at great civilizations like ancient Egypt, and they were able to make the pyramids, and they forgot how to do that.”
Musk: “And the Romans, they built these incredible aqueducts. They forgot how to do it.”
No army invaded them. The knowledge just stopped getting used, and the moment it did, it was gone.
Same collapse. Compressed into fifty years instead of a thousand.
Musk: “In 1969, we were able to send somebody to the moon… Then the space shuttle retired, and the United States could take no one to orbit.”
Musk: “People are mistaken when they think that technology just automatically improves… it will, by itself, degrade.”
Capability doesn’t sit in a vault. It only exists inside the people doing the work right now.
The second they stop, it doesn’t pause.
It disappears.
That should not scare you. It should focus you.
Nobody loses a civilization to war. They lose it the moment they stop building.
Nobody is owed the future. It belongs to whoever keeps building it.
SpaceX President and COO Gwynne Shotwell and her husband have announced that they are donating ~$325 million of SpaceX stock to Trump Accounts for more than two million children across the U.S.
Every one of those kids will now have a direct stake in a company whose mission is the most ambitious in human history: to make life multi-plantary 🚀
New report from Allstate shows Boston, Massachusetts is the most collision-prone city in the country
Boston drivers are nearly 189% more likely to be involved in a crash than the rest of the country
“Now, on average, Boston drivers go just 3.7 years between collisions — Now this leads to higher repair and insurance costs”
“Worcester, Springfield, and Providence, Rhode Island also made the top 10 worst in the nation”
I think I found the problem
Massachusetts - Sanctuary state
Boston - Sanctuary city
Worcester - Sanctuary city
Springfield - Sanctuary city
Providence, Rhode Island - Sanctuary city
Insurance companies and regulators say rates are up 20-50%+ in recent years due to “broad economic pressures”
I think what they really mean is Democrats flooded America with 20 million+ illegals in 4 years
Americans who went to Chuck E. Cheese as a kid, go there now and notice its very different
“I’m at Chuck E. Cheese with my kids and since when has it become such a sad place? — I remember Chuck E. Cheese when I was a kid was like full of crazy lights, colorful. There was like animatronics, like all kinds of fun stuff”
There is a reason for this
Chuck E. Cheese was acquired by the private equity firm Apollo Global Management in 2014
After the purchase, everything became corporate and they started the remodels people hate
The major modern remodel program known as the Chuck E. Cheese 2.0 began in 2017
It went bankrupt in 2020 but emerged out of bankruptcy with new private equity ownership
There is literally nothing on this earth private equity firms have made better. They just destroy businesses everyone loves
More surveillance technology is being introduced by Google
Google's is prepping a new AI feature for their Pixel phones that is going to ‘track and note-take’ all of your conversations it’s always listening to
“The amount of surveillance tech being normalized right now is astounding:
- We have the Kids Act in Congress that wants to implement ID checks just to access the internet
- We have the highly invasive Meta Glasses collabing with Kylie Jenner
- We have Google trying to scan your fingerprints and palms pretending it's a reCAPTCHA.
- We have Google admitting earlier this year that all the AI systems they're forcing into their phones is actually a way to harvest your data to further train their AI systems
- Then they added Nano Banana 2 onto their phones so that they could scan all of your photos
And now they want to harvest your audio data by recording and banking all of your conversations and the ambient noise around you whenever you go places”
All this is absolutely true
The Kids Act recently passed the US House. It bundles child online safety measures, including elements of the Kids Online Safety Act which very likely will push broad age verification across platforms, requiring ID checks or data collection
Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA version that activates your webcam for hand gestures, like wave or open palm to verify you’re human. It maps roughly 21 hand landmark and knuckles for “liveness detection.” It gives them more of your biometric data
And Google’s “Audio Memory” feature for Pixel phones is real and in development
It will “keep track of what you hear throughout your day, from the music around you to your important conversations.”
As of now you’ll have to opt in to Google’s Audio Memory and conversation-tracking feature. But we all know it starts out voluntary and ends mandatory or just apart of the phone
Literally no one needs this, this is nothing but mass surveillance packaged as some useless feature
@EricLDaugh The Democrats have a long history of being friendly with Iran.
I would not be shocked to find out that the Democrats are urging Iran behind the scenes to break the negotiated peace agreement.
After all, the Democrats only chance in Nov is if oil prices remain high.
A convoy of ships, escorted by the U.S. Navy, is attempting to pass the Strait of Hormuz by using the Omani route when
Iran struck the convoy attempting to pass through Omani waters with U.S. Navy escort.
At least one ship was hit by a drone
