@KeenanPeachy @Mangan150 What’s amazing is that the productive people are so productive that they have managed to support both themselves and the massive corruption and grift so well for so long. Imagine how much better the world could be for everyone if all those resources hadn’t been wasted.

Now cooking fries in 100% Beef Tallow in ALL Florida locations.

Our tallow has no preservatives, chemicals or additives….Anything less would be Sus

A 15 yr old Boy Scout working on his merit badge just sent me this idea:

No taxes on workers under 18 yrs old.

I love it because:

1. They need experience to pick a college major

2. They need to develop a work ethic

3. The economy needs more workers

4. They don’t get to vote

"Name one trusted person all eight billion people, across every nation, can agree on. Who would that be?

The answer is nobody.

But, everybody agrees on steel.

If you study civil engineering, [you realize] how difficult it is to build a building using stone or wood. So, when someone comes along with steel, it solves everyone’s problem for the next 2,000 years. And it’s such a good solution that it doesn’t matter what your politics are (socialist, communist, fascist, left, right).

People [may not trust each other, but] they trust Maxwell’s equations. They trust Newtonian physics. We can’t agree on a [single] trusted political or commercial entity, but we all agree on [the utility of] electricity, fire, and steel.

So, it’s ironic when companies pay lobbyists, academics, and non-profits to [besmirch] Bitcoin because they want you to rely upon their company and token. It’s obvious [no one will] trust a private company to issue our money. It has to be a commodity without an issuer.

Bitcoin is digital steel."

I don’t care about the stockpile.

Get rid of the capital gains tax. Treat bitcoin like cash.

Imagine Biden trying to take and answer these questions while signing executive orders. After a long day of speeches and ceremonies. 🇺🇸

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

If there was ever any doubt as to who bears responsibility for the COVID pandemic, Biden’s pardon of Fauci forever seals the deal.

As Chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee I will not rest until the entire truth of the coverup is exposed.

Fauci’s pardon will only serve as an accelerant to pierce the veil of deception.

Ignominious! Anthony Fauci will go down in history as the first government scientist to be preemptively pardoned for a crime.

The world is getting a clinic on why Bitcoin is different from EVERYTHING else.

Crypto involves insiders and energy-less key strokes to create more.

Bitcoin involves proof of energy and real valuable work to acquire more.

I wanted to read the full 1,500+ page bill & speak with key leaders before forming an opinion. Having done that, here's my view: it's full of excessive spending, special interest giveaways & pork barrel politics. If Congress wants to get serious about government efficiency, they should VOTE NO.

Keeping the government open until March 14 will cost ~$380BN by itself, but the true cost of this omnibus CR is far greater due to new spending. Renewing the Farm Bill for an extra year: ~$130BN. Disaster relief: $100BN. Stimulus for farmers: $10BN. The Francis Scott Key Bridge replacement: $8BN. The proposal adds at least 65 cents of new spending for every dollar of continued discretionary spending.

The legislation will end up hurting many of the people it purports to help. Debt-fueled spending sprees may "feel good" today, but it's like showering cocaine on an addict: it's not compassion, it's cruelty. Farmers will see more land sold to foreign buyers when taxes inevitably rise to meet our obligations. Our children will be saddled with crippling debt. Interest payments will be the largest item in our national budget.

Congress has known about this deadline since they created it in late September. There's no reason why this couldn't have gone through the standard process, instead of being rushed to a vote right before Congressmen want to go home for the holidays. The urgency is 100% manufactured & designed to avoid serious public debate.  

The bill could have easily been under 20 pages. Instead, there are dozens of unrelated policy items crammed into the 1,547 pages of this bill. There's no legitimate reason for them to be voted on as a package deal by a lame-duck Congress. 72 pages worth of “Pandemic Preparedness and Response” policy; renewal of the much-criticized "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state; 17 different pieces of Commerce legislation; paving the way for a new football stadium in D.C.; a pay raise for Congressmen & Senators and making them eligible for Federal Employee Health Benefits. It's indefensible to ram these measures through at the last second without debate.

We're grateful for DOGE's warm reception on Capitol Hill. Nearly everyone agrees we need a smaller & more streamlined federal government, but actions speak louder than words. This is an early test. The bill should fail.

Just had our server tell us that they only cook in Beef tallow. NO seed oils. Without me asking. Been doing so since the 70s he said but now enough people care that they make it known. Another sign of real, positive change happening all around us @SeedOilDsrspctr

I hope @DOGE takes an axe to the TSA. Make commercial air travel great again

[Court Harrington @CourtHarrington]

@AnnaVocino Made it last night, planning to do 2 more for Thanksgiving

[Mike Lee @BasedMikeLee]

Please share this post if you’d be more likely to eat at a restaurant chain that banned seed oils and used beef tallow instead

Since people are equating support for RFK Jr. with being anti-vax or even anti-science, this is worth re-sharing...

In 1979, eleven babies died of SIDS in one county in Tennessee.

They all had received the same vaccine from the same batch at around the same time. Wyeth's (since merged with Pfizer) response:

Instead of recalling the vaccine pending an investigation, they covered it up AND ordered all future batches to be spread out across the country, so that any more deadly clusters would go unnoticed.

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

I am thrilled to announce Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as The United States Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). For too long, Americans have been crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies who have engaged in deception, misinformation, and disinformation when it comes to Public Health. The Safety and Health of all Americans is the most important role of any Administration, and HHS will play a big role in helping ensure that everybody will be protected from harmful chemicals, pollutants, pesticides, pharmaceutical products, and food additives that have contributed to the overwhelming Health Crisis in this Country. Mr. Kennedy will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!

I struggle to think of an idea with more long term upside than school choice, vouchers and charter schools.

Leaders come and leaders go, but don’t change the rules of the game.

Censorship is changing the rules of the game.

Lawfare is changing the rules of the game.

Importing voters is changing the rules of the game.

Time to change the people who are changing the rules of the game.

@Mark_Sisson If anything kids are even more negatively impacted by seed oils. I can see noticeable changes when my children end up eating seed oils. They sunburn much more easily and though hard to quantify seem to be more easily irritable and moody. Hard to avoid but well worth the hassle.
