I watched all 138 minutes of Joe Rogan's interview with @calleymeans. Calley's logic is as follows (my comments are in parentheses):
1. President Trump and RFK Jr. are heroes, the best people on the planet.
2. They keep getting bamboozled by staffers who know the system better, are secretly working for industry, and are demons.
3. Trump and RFK Jr. are completely unaware of these machinations by staffers (in spite of the fact that the details are in the news every day and activists are explaining to them exactly what is going on).
4. When Trump and RFK Jr. find out after the fact that they have been betrayed they are furious (and then do nothing).
(At no point does Joe Rogan ever ask why these betrayals are not met with firings of the people involved.)
5. Trump and RFK Jr. care deeply about these issues but this pattern just keeps happening because this is a structural problem and there is nothing Trump and RFK Jr. can do so we'll just have to pass a Constitutional amendment some day to address the problem of lobbyists. (The details of this proposed Constitutional amendment are never described.)
That's the interview. 2 hours and 18 minutes of this logic over and over again.
Heidi Overton! Plots with the DOJ to get the Supreme Court to take the glyphosate case! Writes the Executive Order to protect Bayer/Monsanto! Trump and RFK Jr. didn't know! Her punishment? Nominated to be the head of the FDA.
What!???
And that's how you know the interview is a psyop.
In point of fact, Trump or RFK Jr. could pull the Covid shots tomorrow. Trump or RFK Jr. could have stopped the approval of the Moderna mRNA flu shot or flavored vapes but refused to use their legal authority to do so. Both men know EXACTLY what is happening but they do nothing because THEY are captured by industry.
The Informed Consent Action Network even sent a letter to @SecKennedy back in June listing twenty things he could do with the stroke of a pen (no Congressional approval or committee meetings necessary) to reform the vaccine program to make it safer and none of those reforms have happened.

Meanwhile the White House, HHS, and MAHA tell the base to shut up so that industry can continue to get away with murder and the money will keep rolling in.
I'm sick of the lies. I'm sick of the fact that the government is engaged in iatrogenocide and Calley Means thinks that the problem is soda pop. I'm sick of the endless psyops that keep the killing on schedule and the profits thick. I'm sick of pretenders who have not done the work. I'm sick of fake heroes who refuse to use their power to protect the citizenry.
Listen to the moms. Pull the shots. Shut down these vile agencies. We don't need a Constitutional amendment. Everything necessary to stop the chronic disease epidemics can be done right now by President Trump and Secretary Kennedy with the powers that they already have. No more excuses.
I am a legal immigrant and I support President Trump immigration policies 💯! America’s first duty is to its own citizens, NOT to the people who entered illegally and mooch off the system.
Policies that prioritize non-citizens over Americans undermine the message we teach our children: that hard work leads to opportunity. When illegal immigration is rewarded and legal pathways are ignored or abused, it devalues the effort of those who came the right way.
Those who voted for Democrats or stayed home — enabled the millions of illegals flooding into our country the four years Biden was installed. That influx has strained housing, schools, hospitals, and wages while creating real risks to public safety and election integrity. Non-citizens voting and receiving benefits that often exceed what many citizens receive without lifting a finger is NOT sustainable nor fair. I blame not only Democrats, but Senate Republican leadership like Thune, who should have prioritized getting the SAVE AMERICA ACT across the finish line. Clean rolls protect every legitimate citizen’s vote.
The country is safer and more functional when illegal aliens are not released into communities. Democrats have made clear they intend to reverse enforcement the moment they regain full control. That is not a policy disagreement, it is a deliberate choice to put non-citizens ahead of Americans.
Mass deportation of illegal aliens and removal of those who refuse to assimilate and work is not cruelty, it is basic governance. Every illegal entrant removed reduces pressure on housing, wages, schools, and social services, making life more affordable and opportunity more available for American citizens and legal residents who play by the rules.
I have ZERO sympathy or tolerance for people who come into America illegally and immediately access public assistance that overwhelms state and local budgets. I have equally little sympathy or tolerance for long-term legal immigrants who remain heavily dependent on welfare after years or decades. ie: the Somalians who have been here for a couple of decades and 80% are still on welfare and this is well-documented. This is NOT sustainable! People who will NOT contribute should NOT stay.
I firmly believe that the more illegals we deport, the more affordable the lives of Americans will become.
Bill Maher and Justine Bateman put words to something a lot of people feel but rarely say out loud.
Maher calls it the religion of wokeism, and Bateman makes the sharpest point here: you can agree with 8 out of 10 tenets and still get thrown out. At that point it stops being a political view and becomes a church with excommunication.
What she says about why people stay in line is interesting too. It’s not conviction, it’s fear. Fear of standing on your own without a group to belong to.
Maher has spent decades refusing to carry a membership card for either side, and it has cost him plenty of friends in his own industry.
Thinking for yourself has become so rare that it now looks like rebellion.
It feels like the West has been at war with reality for a few decades now.
So many social problems are downstream of masses of people pretending that reality isn't real.
Comforting lies take precedence over uncomfortable realities. People want to feel good, not do good.
I've seen a few of my liberal/left/progressive/Democrat friends sharing this. It reflects a total misunderstanding of what Jesus said.
It boils down to this:
A politician "doing it" means passing a law that takes something from someone else to redistribute it.
In effect, redistributive politicians are parasites. They only consume, not create. They feed on the productive activities of others.
Socialism is coercion—forcing the many to support the few.
And that's at odds with what Jesus called for, for two reasons:
1. Jesus encouraged free will offerings. He told us to give voluntarily—because part of the point of charity is not simply to transfer property to another person, but to transform our souls in the process through the mutual benefit that comes from supporting our brothers and sisters.
2. The "greatest commandments" taught by Jesus were to love God and love others. We cannot reconcile socialism with love, for it is the weaponization of envy and enmity. You don't love someone when you take things from them without their consent.
Those sharing this image either do not understand Christianity, do not understand socialism, or both.
That ignorance needs correction. See below for a book that can help.
A farmer, tired of rats destroying his crops and stealing his grain, came up with a clever but cruel plan. He threw a dead pig into a deep, abandoned well. Attracted by the smell, nearly 80 rats rushed into the well to feast on the carcass. At first, everything seemed wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone, and the rats ate until they were satisfied.
But when the food was gone, they discovered something terrifying. The walls of the well were too steep to climb. They were trapped. Days passed, and hunger turned into desperation. Desperation turned into aggression. The rats that had once eaten peacefully beside one another began fighting for survival. Eventually, they began killing and eating each other.
One by one, their numbers dwindled until only a single rat remained. Its eyes were bloodshot, and it had survived by consuming its own kind. Then the farmer returned, lowered a rope into the well, and rescued the last surviving rat. But he didn't save it out of kindness or compassion.
The farmer knew the rat had learned to survive by hunting other rats. When he released it into his fields, it would continue killing its own kind instead of eating his grain. The farmer had turned his enemy into his greatest weapon.
And that is the lesson of divide and conquer. Those who control the trap don't need to fight the battles themselves. They simply create the conditions in which others turn against one another.
The rats believed their enemies were the other rats. They never realized that the true enemy was the farmer who had put them there.
The greatest danger isn't always the enemy standing in front of you. Sometimes it's the one who created the conflict and stands quietly watching you destroy each other.
Before you turn against your neighbor because of their political beliefs, ask yourself who benefits from keeping Americans divided. While we fight each other over Republican and Democrat, we may be overlooking those who profit from the conflict. Perhaps the real question isn't which side you're on, but who built the well—and why they want us fighting at the bottom of it.
Just a reminder about something I said a few years back: “addiction is a progressive narrowing of the things that bring you pleasure.” “Enlightenment (for lack of a better term) is a progressive expansion of what brings your pleasure.”
Are you addicted to something? If so, what?
Surround yourself with people who see a flying car and say, "Awesome!"
Not people who see a flying car and say, "It's not actually flying" or "I don't see the point."
This post is not about cars :)
Dear Secretary Bessent @SecScottBessent,
My name is Everett Stern. In 2010 I was a compliance officer at @HSBC. From a back office in New Castle, Delaware, I watched billions of dollars move to drug cartels, sanctioned regimes, and terrorist organizations. The enemies of the United States. I documented it, I escalated it, and when the bank would not act, I took it to the @FBI, the @CIA, and eventually the @SECGov.
The result was a $1.92 billion settlement. At the time, it was one of the largest in American history. It was also about five weeks of the bank’s profit. Not one banker was charged. Not one went to prison.
I paid a different price. I lost my career, my savings, and my place in the industry I had trained for. I was blacklisted. Every door in American finance closed at once. I slept on a camping cot in a 300 square foot apartment because I could not afford a bed, and I waited tables at @PFChangs to eat. I tell you this not for sympathy, but so you understand that I know exactly what it costs to do the right thing in American finance, and exactly how little the system does in return.
I made that sacrifice because I believed it would change something.
Yesterday, your department fined @BankofAmerica $1.2 billion for failing to report more than $5 billion in suspicious transactions, some of it tied by your own findings to Chinese laundering networks, narcotics, and the southwest border, alongside 475 apparent sanctions violations touching Russia, Iran, and global terrorism. The bank admitted it willfully violated the Bank Secrecy Act.
Fourteen years after HSBC. A bank with “America” in its name. And once again, not one individual charged.
Secretary Bessent, I want to say plainly what I believe you already know. The fines are not working.
A fine is paid by shareholders, absorbed by the balance sheet, and forgotten by the next earnings call. Bank of America reported earnings this morning. Nobody who set the alert thresholds, nobody who decided the 2024 cease and desist could wait, nobody who chose the backlog over the law will lose a single thing they value. Their lives are untouched. That is the entire reason the behavior repeats.
This is money laundering. This is blood money. Money that reaches a cartel buys fentanyl that kills Americans. Money that reaches a terrorist organization buys the next attack. This country has fought a war on drugs and a war on terror for decades, at enormous cost in lives and treasure, and all the while we have allowed the financing to flow through institutions we charter and regulate. Cut off the money and we win. We have never seriously tried.
There is also a question of equal justice that I cannot let go.
Before I walked into the FBI building to report HSBC, I stopped in front of the Great Seal on the wall and read the words engraved beneath it: “Justice is the defense of our liberty.” I believed that. I still want to. But every day in this country, people go to prison for crimes that are nothing next to moving money for the people who want Americans dead. A suit, a title, and a corporate badge should not be a shield from the consequences that apply to everyone else. If a street dealer goes to prison for what he sells, the banker who moved the cartel’s money should be standing next to him.
I also want to raise something that is rarely said in these conversations. Why has no one inside Bank of America come forward the way I did? The answer is that everyone in American banking knows what happened to me, and to the whistleblowers who came after. The last person who spoke up is the only policy anyone believes. That is a culture problem, and it starts with leadership, in the banks and in the agencies that regulate them.
This is not a political issue. It has spanned administrations of both parties. It is a national security issue, and I am asking you to treat it as one.
Three things would change the math overnight.
Refer individuals for criminal prosecution. Not the analyst in the queue. The executives who set the thresholds and chose the risk. One banker in handcuffs would do more than every fine in Treasury’s history combined.
End “too big to jail.” An institution cannot be too big to fail and too big to jail at the same time. If it is the first, it must be held to a higher standard, not a lower one.
And if Bank of America will not act as America’s bank, review its charter. A national charter is a privilege granted on behalf of the American people. It should be conditioned on not moving money for the people trying to kill them.
Secretary Bessent, you said yesterday that these actions send a clear message that even the biggest institutions are not above the law. With respect, the institution was never the problem. The people inside it are above the law, and they know it. Until that changes, I will keep writing letters like this one, and the next bank will keep paying the next fine.
I gave up everything I had to stop this. I am asking you to use the power you have to finish it.
Respectfully,
Everett A. Stern

Dan Levy (Schitt’s Creek) having a hissy fit over Shane Gillis’ SNL joke:
“Women wearing short shorts at the gym does not make them whores. It makes the men calling them ‘whores’ misogynists.”
Absolutely Dan, and at this point, I’m a GYNOPHOBIC MISOGYNIST and proud of it.
Because come on - the left is empowering women’s worst and darkest impulses.
Women dress like whores - HOW DARE YOU CALL THAT OUT!
Women abort their unborn - MY BODY, MY CHOICE!
Women strangle their kids - SHE JUST SNAPPED, THAT’S ALL!
Add to that, we’ve got Hollywood telling us 24/7/365 that women are killers, assassins, warriors, demons, witches, monsters - anything that allows them to be seen KILLING MEN.
And all while being CELEBRATED AS BADASSES for the crimes we see them commit.
So what man WOULDN’T be misogynistic toward a breed that seems increasingly defined by its hatred of men?
Danny, spare me the sanctimonious outrage.
You’re not defending women from misogyny:
YOU’RE DEMANDING THAT WOMEN BE EXEMPT FROM CRITICISM.
And as for you being “speechless that something like that can exist on live national television”...
Aren’t you one of the people who shrieks when someone attacks Kimmel for his jokes on national television?
Lady, take your giant pedophile glasses, clutch your pearls - and GFY while you’re at it.
THE KIDS KNEW THEY’D BEEN SOLD
Some of the children were crying. Some tried to run away when the vans stopped for gas.
Tarek “Joey” Kadourah, a former DHS site supervisor with a background in law enforcement, gang investigations and government contracting, tells Lara Logan that agents began raising alarms about who was picking these children up.
According to Joey, agents reported that supposed “relatives” weren’t relatives at all. In some cases, he says men displaying MS-13 or Mexican Mafia tattoos arrived to take custody of children.
One veteran agent reportedly asked him: “There’s two guys with prison tattoos picking up a kid from us. What’s going on, Joey? We need to raise concerns.”
Joey says when he brought those concerns to his supervisor, the response was:
“They’ve been vetted. Everything’s okay. Keep your mouth shut. Just keep doing the job.”

I recently learned that the entire country of Canada has fewer MRI machines than the state of Pennsylvania, despite having 3x the population.
That's wild... The median time for a scan is over 4 months. 💀

Denzel Washington Shares a Quote Everyone Needs to Hear
"The hardest thing to do is look in the mirror. The easiest thing to do is blame someone else. I'm not talking about anybody, I'm talking about everybody. We don't look in the mirror, that's where it starts. What can I do better?"
"You can't have more success than I've had, and I'm here to tell you, it doesn't mean a thing. It's lonely at the top. It's very slippery up there, it's not a lot of room, it's easy to slide down. So be careful what you ask for, and don't measure it by what the world tells you success is."
