If you're pro-2A, please take a look at this travesty of justice and consider helping spread the word that a correction is likely needed here. Here's a great YT video with a quick breakdown - https://t.co/jLMVGR76QC
Dugans's bond was denied this morning in court, and he will spend the duration of the trial in federal custody.
Among many reasons, some outright lies or at least omissions by the FBI, the closing reason by the female judge was "hate speech". Which is odd since that's not a legal category as far as I was aware.
I got to sit in the courtroom with his wife and family during the process. The only words he spoke were "I love you" to his wife while being escorted out by US Marshalls.
More to come.

@Laurence5905@dylanmallman Bitcoin activity is public on the blockchain. AI can already read the blockchain and establish patterns to link accounts and account activity, so Bitcoin is only private if you don't use it.
Bitcoin is a hedge against a crumbling dollar, but not a private one.
@SBakerMD Used to love ribeye, but I've developed a greater appreciation for New York strip, these days. ;)
Probably the more honest answer - whatever my hubbie cooks for me. He is a meat-cooking master! <3
Here's my hypothesis.
What we just witnessed in KY with the Massie loss was a 'struggle session.' It was designed to send one message: "We're fully in control, you have no power, and you might as well not even waste the time to vote."
It was an operation designed to inflict demoralization. Same as not being allowed to be on the beach alone during 'Covid.' That's it's complete nonsense **IS** the point.
Same as publicly executing Charlie Kirk. Same energy, same intention, & the same people. The point is to demonstrate their power, with the target being your sense of agency and control.
We no longer need to wonder why the Trump administration has zero interest in finding CK's actual killer. It's the same people.
Who was that figure in white seen leaving the roof of the Sorenson building at UVU that fateful day? That nobody cares on Tyler's 'defense team' or with any investigative authority is meant to be both obvious to the thinking person, as well as demoralizing.
That's the play; fracture and divide us. Demoralize people to the point of giving up before they can even begin to organize, let alone fight. It's a form of cognitive warfare, and it's been running non-stop since Covid first appeared in 2020.
Why? Because someone hates America and its people and wishes to see us taken down.
The Barbarians are inside the gates.
That's what the Massie loss means to me.
$32 million dollars and an entire administration mobilized to destroy one congressman.
His crime?
Demanding answers about Epstein class abuse networks, and refusing to let child predators hide behind political cover.
If that level of firepower doesn't tell you who's being protected, nothing will.
Go Massie!
Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.
When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.
They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.
In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.
The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.
We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
If you feel stuck, try this: For the next 30 days, every single day, wake up at 5am and work out for at least 30 minutes.
It doesn’t matter what the workout looks like. Go to a gym, go outside for a run, do pushups and squats on your bedroom floor.
This isn’t about the workout. It’s about creating Proof of Agency.
By the end of 30 days, you’ll completely rewire your brain. Scientists call it neuroplasticity. Your brain physically changes in structure and function through action and experience.
The action of waking up early and working out every single day for a month will create evidence that you have the power to take an action and achieve a desired outcome. You’ll see yourself differently. You’ll reorganize your life around this new priority. You’ll eat healthier, go to sleep earlier, and narrow your focus. It creates Proof of Agency.
That has ripple effects into every area of life.
Mayor of Charlotte, NC asks that we not post about this lady murdered on a Charlotte train by a repeat offender with 14 prior arrests
I say in Iryna’s memory please share and make this go viral! A repeat offender with 14 prior arrests should not be roaming the streets of ANY city! They should be locked up!! Epic failure in the justice system..
We will never forgot her ever
‼️TURNING POINT ALERT‼️ - know you guys are busy, but time is running out to endorse the great Thomas Massie for reelection in Kentucky. You may have heard, he's facing a deluge of FOREIGN MONEY. And Charlie Kirk's wishes couldn't have been clearer on this point (see below, elsewhere).
Please mobilize the massive grassroots army Charlie organized and inspired to do the right and honorable thing, and to help demonstrate (reassert) American sovereignty.
3 days remain. PLENTY of time.
Thanks!

“One of my favorite members of Congress. He loves the Constitution, he loves liberty. He’s honest and he’s tough, and he’s really gonna go after the intel agencies. It’s Thomas Massie, who’s just terrific.”

Char on a steak contains heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds, in extremely high doses, in isolated laboratory conditions, in rats, have shown carcinogenic effects.
The doses used in those studies, scaled to human equivalents, would require you to consume the charred outer crust of approximately several thousand steaks per day for the rest of your life.
Humans have been cooking meat over open fire for somewhere between two hundred thousand and a million years. The crust on a roasted joint, the bark on a brisket, the blackened edges of a chop pulled from the embers: this is the food our species was built around.
If burnt-edge beef caused cancer at the rate the headlines imply, we would not be here to read the headlines.
Eat the steak.
Enjoy the crust.
A 40-year-old patent has finally been brought to life.
That's the Y-zipper.
A 3D-printed three-sided fastener that transitions any object from flexible to rigid and back again.
The robotics application is the one that caught my attention.
A quadruped robot that adjusts its leg stiffness depending on terrain, switching between rigid and flexible in real time without additional motors or complex mechanical systems.
But this goes way beyond robotics. A wrist cast that loosens during the day and stiffens at night. A tent that pops into shape in 90 seconds instead of six minutes.
The idea sat in a patent filing for four decades. It took 3D printing to finally make it real.

In 1995, Pfizer wrote a memo projecting $55 million in profit from selling their epilepsy drug for bipolar disorder.
The same memo admitted there was no evidence the drug worked for bipolar disorder.
They sold it for bipolar disorder anyway.
In 2004, they pleaded guilty to two felony counts of misbranding gabapentin under the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act.
They paid $430 million.
The Department of Justice listed every condition they were criminally convicted of fraudulently promoting:
— Bipolar disorder
— ADHD
— Migraines
— Neuropathic pain
— Reflex sympathetic dystrophy
That was 21 years ago.
Today, gabapentin (Neurontin) is the 5th most prescribed drug in America.
73 million prescriptions a year.
15.5 million Americans on it.
An estimated 95% of those prescriptions are off-label.
For the same uses Pfizer was criminally convicted of fraudulently promoting.
The fraud was named.
Prosecuted.
Settled.
And the drug is bigger than ever.
If you or someone you love is on gabapentin or Neurontin, this is the federal court record nobody told you about.
Nurses are not supposed to know this. Patients are not supposed to know this.
But I am a nurse. And the documents are public.
Sources in the replies.
Never in the 250 year history of our Republic has this happened in a Congressional race.
Support from all over the country is pouring in, because this May 19 election is about We The People vs. foreign lobbies & Epstein’s billionaire cronies.

The past week I have done Blueprint assessments for so many amazing women and I just have to say something.
Reading through these intake forms, sometimes I have to stop for a minute because I feel it in my chest.
Because I know that place.
I know what it feels like to sit there and think:
“Maybe this is just who I am now.”
I know what it feels like to be exhausted, inflamed, ashamed, overwhelmed, and still somehow keep going anyway because the alternative feels unthinkable.
Some of these women have survived things that would break most people.
Abuse.
Loss.
Grief.
Years of stress.
Years of putting themselves last.
Years of being told to just “eat less and move more” while their body and nervous system were screaming for help.
And then they sit there blaming themselves because they can’t stop eating brownies on the weekend or because they “failed another diet.”
That doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you human.
Food becomes comfort for a lot of us because it was the only thing that was always there. Always available. Always worked for five minutes.
I see so much of myself in these women it hurts sometimes.
Not pity.
Recognition.
And I think that’s why I care so much about helping women understand what’s actually happening in their body instead of just handing them another meal plan and sending them on their way.
Because when you finally understand the hormonal side, the nervous system side, the emotional side, the metabolic side… something shifts.
You stop seeing yourself as a failure.
You start realizing your body was trying to protect you the whole time.
One of the women I worked with recently said:
“Maybe my life isn’t over.”
That hit me hard.
Because THAT is why I do this.
Not to be an influencer.
Not to scream about macros on the internet.
Not to pretend I’m perfect.
I do this because I remember what it felt like to lose hope in myself.
And if I can help someone get even a tiny piece of that hope back?
Then every bit of this journey was worth it.

The first version of the Big Beautiful Bill defunded sex changes for minors. But the final version that everyone but me voted for, in fact the version that Donald Trump signed, put all of that money back in!
