I have a 101 degree fever from the raw milk and I want to be very clear that this is the system working exactly as designed.

I drink raw milk now. Unpasteurized. I get it through a herdshare, which is a legal structure my farmer Cliff and I use because the government does not want me to have access to my own cow, and the fact that they have made it this hard is the strongest possible signal that it is good for me. 400 dollars a month. Cliff drives it to a gravel lot off the highway in coolers, like a man delivering something illegal, because he is, because milk, in the year 2026, in the country that put a man on the moon, is contraband, and that should tell you everything about who is actually in charge of your body and whether they have your interests at heart.

Pasteurization, they say, kills the bacteria. Yes. Exactly. They are heating the milk to kill the life in it. I do not want dead milk. I want living milk, with the enzymes, with the cultures, with whatever it is Cliff's cows are walking through, because my ancestors did not pasteurize and my ancestors built the pyramids, and yes I know my ancestors also died at 35, but they died strong, they died sovereign, they did not die soft in a hospital bed eating canola.

Canola. Let us talk about the seed oils, because the seed oils are the whole war. Seed oils are industrially processed inflammatory poison and they are in everything, they are the reason for every chronic disease, all of them, simultaneously, and I have removed them from my life entirely. I cook in beef tallow. Everything. Eggs in tallow. Vegetables in tallow. I rendered my own tallow in the kitchen and the smoke alarm went off and Megan asked if this was sustainable and I told her the only thing that is not sustainable is the industrial seed oil lobby, and once, I will admit, I poured warm tallow over cereal, and I want to say that it was not good, but it was real, and real beats good, real always beats good.

My brother-in-law is a gastroenterologist. He looked at me at Easter, my one cheat day where I still did not cheat, and he said, you have lost a lot of weight, are you okay, and I said I have never been more okay, I have shed the inflammation, and he said, that is not inflammation, that is muscle, you are losing muscle, and I told him that is exactly what someone who went to medical school and is funded by Big Pasteurization would say. He works at a hospital. A hospital. The building where they bring you the canola on a tray and call it recovery. I am not taking nutrition advice from a man who is, structurally, the enemy.

Every morning at 6am I stare at the sun. Not near it. At it. I call it retinal charging. The mitochondria need the photons, the unfiltered ones, and sunglasses are just another industrial product designed to put a barrier between you and the source, and yes my vision has a new spot in it, a little gray comma that follows my gaze, but I have reframed the gray comma as proof of contact, a sunspot of my own, a stigmata of compliance with the actual rules, the old rules, the ones Cliff's cows still follow.

Here is the fever. I want to get to the fever because the fever is the confession.

I have had a temperature of 101 for 9 days. Drenching night sweats. Joint pain. My brother-in-law, unprompted, texted me the word "brucellosis" and a link, which is undulant fever, which you get from, and I have read this, raw milk. And I felt, reading his text, not fear, but vindication, because a detox has symptoms, and the stronger the symptoms the deeper the toxins being expelled, and a body that has been eating canola its whole life is going to have a lot to expel, and this fever is just the industrial residue of 38 years finally leaving me, through the sweat, into Cliff's good clean sheets, which I also do not wash in detergent.

Megan wants me to go to the doctor. I have explained that the doctor is the problem. The doctor will give me an antibiotic, which is just a seed oil for your gut flora, and break the detox right when it is working. I have decided to ride it out. Ancestrally. My ancestors did not have urgent care. My ancestors had a fever and a cow and the sun, and I have all 3, and I am, for the first time in my life, in complete alignment with the way a human being is supposed to break down.

They call it brucellosis. I call it the toxins finally admitting defeat.

It is day 9. My fever is 101.4. Cliff is coming Thursday with the milk. The sun comes up at 6:11 and I will be at the window. Megan has stopped arguing, which I have interpreted as her finally understanding, and not, as my brother-in-law texted, "giving up."

And honestly, I have been reading that the next level is the soil itself, that you have to reintroduce the gut bacteria directly, from the ground, the old way, and there is a man in Idaho who sells it, the dirt, by the jar, and the jars are not cheap, and they are not regulated, which is how I know.

I have never been more sovereign over my own body.

🚨 Here is the full 42 minutes of my crew and I exposing Minnesota fraud, this might be my most important work yet. We uncovered over $110,000,000 in ONE day. Like it and share it around like wildfire! Its time to hold these corrupt politicians and fraudsters accountable

We ALL work way too hard and pay too much in taxes for this to be happening, the fraud must be stopped.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

Now that the Supreme Court finally ended affirmative action, colleges will only further deprioritize SAT scores in favor of subjective factors because of large racial disparities in test results. There’s a simple way forward that will drive excellence and diversity of talent among incoming college classes: the College Board should add a physical fitness section to the SAT, instead of just math and reading sections. This could mirror the “Presidential Fitness Test” – consisting of a 1-mile run, pull-ups, sit-ups, shuttle run, etc. – regularly administered across American high schools until the Obama White House disband it. This is a pro-merit solution that rewards diverse talents: it’s a fact that those who perform well on math & reading tests tend to perform more poorly on the 1-mile run, and vice versa. This would also help address a growing mental health crisis in our country: physical fitness correlates directly with lower rates of depression, anxiety, and drug use. This is not formally part of my Presidential platform but it’s a serious proposal to address multiple cultural & health challenges with a single actionable step: most solutions shouldn’t come top-down from government.
