THEO VON: “Was there anybody who was immune to COVID-19?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “There’s one adult group. You’re going to laugh.”
[Theo Von listens closely for the reveal]
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “Smokers… They got very mild cases. And they don’t get long COVID.”
THEO VON: “Why?”
MCCULLOUGH: “Because smokers maintain a level of nicotine in the bloodstream… Smoking blocks the spike protein. It’s amazing. I thought smokers were going to go down.”
THEO VON: “Do you think that’s a good idea [to use nicotine patches] on a regular basis?”
DR. MCCULLOUGH: “I think [it’s a good idea] if they have long COVID... Nicotine, don’t forget, is a nootropic. A nootropic is a drug that makes the brain function more effectively... It’s addictive, but it’s not harmful to the human body... Nicotine patches are perfectly safe.”
@thisisfoster Another great post. I joke with my wife and say that I think Michael has a tap on our phones, because you seem to always be posting things relevant to our current family situation (courtship, launching kids to adulthood etc). Its been a huge blessing.
It’s absolutely true that some people declared brain dead can still hear what’s going on around them, but are unable to speak or sign that they are alive.
Zack Dunlap was declared brain dead, but survived, and later told Dr. Paul Byrne that he was listening as doctors told his parents that he was “dead” and could now become an organ donor:
“The next thing I remember was laying in the hospital bed, not being able to move, breathe — couldn’t do anything, on a ventilator. I heard someone say, ‘I’m sorry, he’s brain dead, he’s passing away.’ And there’s nothing I could do, just get mad. I couldn’t do anything — to sign — at all…I tried to scream, tried to move, just got extremely angry.”
Thankfully, Zack managed to move forcefully enough that his organ harvesting was called off. He recovered, got married, has a daughter, and works a job.
Dead people don’t get better. Brain death is not death.
My business made under $200k gross and paid $22k in taxes. I went over the self employment threshold which pushed me in to a higher tax bracket than last year. So far it seems like im paying more. $6k more than last year because I cleared $19k more in 2025. Im a Trump supporter but Im curious who is saving all this tax money? At this point shouldn't we be getting all of our voluntary tax for fraud contribution back from our entire working life?
President Trump, how many TSA workers are going to have to go in debt, bankrupt, or leave their job to find a way to feed their families?! Enough is enough. NOW CONGRESS TAKES A RECESS for 2 WEEKS?! Just like children, they can take recess when they finish their jobs. Convene the Senate under article 2 section 3 on extraordinary occasions. If being at war with the #1 terror state, after millions came into our country from God only knows where, and domestic terror acts on the rise - I don’t know what extraordinary means. @realDonaldTrump #govshutdown #warwithiran
@thisisfoster Wise words sir. I often wonder if you have certain churches in mind. It defintaley fits one we left a couple of years ago. Keep them going, your posts are always fitting to where we are in life, especially those on courtship.
We need real churches with real pastors real bad…
When the church is turned into a media platform, the pastor becomes a Current Events commentator.
The congregation is taught to view the church as a content production and distribution channel.
When the church is turned into a YMCA, the pastor becomes a program coordinator.
The congregation is taught to view the church as a provider of specialized programming that caters to all life stages and schedules.
When the church is treated as a replacement for the natural family, the pastor becomes a surrogate father instead of a shepherd of souls.
The congregation is taught to confuse the natural (household) and spiritual family (church) limits and purposes.
When the church is reduced to a social action group, the pastor is reduced to a community organizer.
The congregation is taught to subordinate primary doctrine to a derivative cause.
When the church is reduced to a para-church ministry (e.g. men's ministry, anti-abortion, etc), the pastor is reduced to a single issue specialist.
The congregation is taught to neglect the whole counsel of God's Word in favor of a single portion.
When the church is reduced to a discernment ministry, the pastor becomes an investigative journalist or the editor-in-chief of a paparazzi rag.
The congregation is taught to "spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new" (Acts 17:21).
May God raise up a generation of bold 'Word and sacrament' pastors who, first and foremost, shepherd the local sheep entrusted to their oversight!
🚨 HOLY SH*T! RAINMAKER CEO ADMITS WEATHER CONTROL - HIS TARGETS GET HIT WITH RAIN AND ICE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE
ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION YET?
This is Augustus Doricko, CEO of Rainmaker, explaining weather modification on camera with Shawn Ryan, as the timeline snaps perfectly into place.
Doricko lays out the system in plain English:
“You find the water with the radar… you fly your drone up into these conditions… you disperse the material… and with the same radar, you can now see it freezing, growing into bigger snowflakes… and measure how much precipitates downwind.”
“For every pound of this that you put up, you get in excess of 40 million pounds down on the ground.”
That’s not modeling.
That’s control.
He confirms the footprint:
“We’re operating in Utah, Colorado, Oregon, California - and Texas… we’ve been in our own rain there.”
Then Shawn Ryan says the line that changed everything:
“It’s got to be a weird feeling… knowing that that’s your rain.”
Doricko’s response?
“Like I said, that’s the second most important thing that I’ve ever done in my life.”
Now lock the timeline.
Doricko said a new agent - more effective than silver iodide - would be introduced in January 2026.
Guess when the ice storm hit Texas?
January. 2026.
Not later.
Not “sometime in the future.”
Right on schedule.
And remember what Doricko already admitted:
• Snow is easier to make than rain
• The current agent mimics ice crystal structure
• Texas was already an active operating area
So the question isn’t if the tech exists.
He explained it. On camera.
The question is: why did the same regions swing from flooding… to ice… exactly when he said the next phase would begin?
And don’t ignore who’s backing him.
Doricko is a Thiel Fellow, funded by Peter Thiel, with capital and influence running through Palantir - built for prediction, modeling, and control at scale.
Radar guided drones.
Chemical dispersal agents.
Real time precipitation tracking.
Floods first.
Ice next.
January 2026 - right on time.
If this isn’t weather manipulation, what is it?

Eighteen years sounds like a long time. It isn’t.
Over our sink, my wife keeps a card with a button pinned to it that says, “The days are long, but the years are short.” Ain’t that the truth.
Last night Emily and I went over to help deep clean my son’s rental house. He’s moving in this week, getting ready for his wedding next week. That part still feels unreal. It happened fast. Too fast.
From learning to walk, to developing hobbies, to karate lessons, to a driver’s license, to graduation, to starting a career. Blink, and it’s done. All of it felt slow while it was happening. None of it feels slow now.
For the past year or two, before going to bed, I’d look out the window to make sure his car was in the driveway. Soon, it won’t be, and it shouldn’t be. It’ll be parked at his own place, with his wife. In time, Lord willing, the cycle will repeat: father to son, son to grandson. That’s how it goes.
This is a victory. I’m proud.
I didn’t set out just to have children. I wanted to raise men and women of God. And he is a man of God: responsible, diligent, kind. Still, I can’t get over how fast it all moved. I remember older people saying this when I was younger. Now I’m one of them. And they were more right than I could have understood back then.
Maybe today is a long day for you. Maybe your little ones are driving you nuts. My youngest, Foxe, gets into everything. It’s hard to get anything done. It’s frustrating. But he’s learning how the world works. Right now his world is small. Before I know it, I’ll be helping him carry boxes to his car too.
I know you’re tired. I know you feel like you’re failing some days. I know you feel overwhelmed. But the “golden years” usually don’t look golden while you’re in them. You only see them clearly in the rearview mirror. And if you’re in that season now, you’re standing in it, whether you feel like it or not.
Embrace it. It’s short. It’s unique. It doesn’t come back.
With Hudson, I’m stepping into a new season. And I’m excited to see where the Lord takes him. This is the good life, even if lived with a touch of sadness.
Az winters, hard to beat. Its like summer in WA. But, revisit this in 20 years and see how you feel :) 55 here in the morning reminds me of the cold 35 mornings in WA, joints start feeling it more once the 40's (age wise) hit. But, still better than 35 degrees. Im becoming acclimated to desert life, HELP!
