This is the truth about communism from someone living in communism:
- Regime leaders get rich and exploit the people
- No food (hasn't had eggs in a year)
- No freedom of speech
- No equality

"It just leads you to misery, harassment, hunger and anguish" - Man living in communism

I just spent 2 incredible weeks in Italy and it is so frustrating to come back to the U.S…

How is it possible @RobertKennedyJr that the Italian food supply is so vastly superior.

I literally ate bread at every meal, dessert multiple times per day, and generally ate way more than I do in the U.S.

Not once did I have acid reflux. Not one headache, no digestive problems, and I didn’t gain any weight.

If I ate the same way in the U.S. (I used to at times) I would have gone through a full bottle of Tums and Advil just to get through the day…

WHY does the U.S. allow glyphosate in wheat, high fructose corn syrup in food and who knows what in our milk products?

The difference in quality of life in Italy vs the U.S. is staggering from their common sense (anti corporate) food regulation.

WHY aren’t more people upset about this?

The U.S. is the richest country in the world and we eat like one of the poorest.

The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.

The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.

The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.

The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.

The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.

The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.

The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.

Now it is today.

Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.

He is confident.

He has always been confident.

The confidence has never been the problem.

The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

Tax Day is the perfect day to remind everyone that:

“You pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not”

Abolish the IRS

@Pirates Afraid to win

[Eric Trump @EricTrump]

Let me make this very clear: Big Banks (think JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) are lobbying overtime to block Americans from getting higher yields on their savings—while trying to block any rewards or perks from being given to customers.

These banks, and others, pay rock-bottom rates on standard savings (often 0.01%–0.05% APY), even as the Fed pays them 4% or more. This massive spread fuels record profits, with almost none passed back to their customers / everyday depositors.

Today, the banks are desperately targeting crypto/stablecoins, where platforms plan to offer 4–5%+ yields or rewards. The ABA and other lobbyists are spending millions trying to ban or restrict those yields via bills like the Clarity Act, crying “fairness” and using words like "stability"—when it's really about protecting their low-rate monopoly and preventing deposit flight. This is anti-retail, anti-consumer, and straight-up anti-American.

Next time you see a big bank dropping billions on a shiny new Midtown Manhattan HQ, you know exactly where that money comes from: the non-existent interest rate they “pay” you!

Fortunately, the big banks are losing this fight as customers wake up to the games…

If you don’t “have time” to exercise. 

You don’t have time to improve the only vessel with which you experience the world and to prolong your life as a whole. 

Then please tell me. What is it you DO have time for?

Medication cascade from statins:

- Month 1: Statins prescribed for cholesterol
- Month 3: Muscle pain develops (CoQ10 depleted)
- Month 4: Prescribed NSAIDs for pain
- Month 8: Liver enzymes elevated (from statins)
- Month 10: Cognitive decline begins (brain needs cholesterol)
- Month 12: Blood pressure rises (CoQ10 depletion affects heart)
- Month 14: Prescribed blood pressure medication
- Month 18: Fatigue worsens (mitochondrial dysfunction)
- Month 20: Prescribed antidepressants
- Month 24: Glucose control worsens (statins increase diabetes risk)
- Month 30: Prescribed metformin

Started with one drug for a number. Ended with five drugs managing the side effects of the first drug.

This is modern medicine.

🚨 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.

People with microplastics in their arterial plaques died at 4.5x the rate of people without‼️

That’s 450% more.

This is the reason I’ve stopped using, storing and cooking with plastics.

It’s also why I recommend removing as many microplastics as possible with sauna, binders, EBOO and TPE (see video below).

I introduced the National Constitutional Carry Act because no one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country. Twenty-nine states already acknowledge this reality; let’s make it fifty.

🚨🇺🇸 NEW STUDY REVEALS: THE SMARTPHONE CHILDHOOD EXPERIMENT IS OFFICIALLY BACKFIRING

A massive, NIH-backed study just dropped a quiet bomb on modern parenting:

Kids who get smartphones by age 12 face higher risks of depression, poor sleep, and obesity.

Not because of what they do on the phone - just owning one was enough.

Researchers followed 10,000+ adolescents nationwide. Median age of first phone? 11.

And the pattern was brutal: the younger the phone, the worse the health outcomes one year later.

We’re talking increased depressive symptoms, less sleep, higher obesity rates, chronic fatigue, ...

And this held true even when kids had other screens like tablets. The phone itself was the tipping point.

Lead author Dr. Ran Barzilay said the wild part is they weren’t tracking apps or doomscrolling.

They asked one question: does having your own smartphone this young affect your health?

Answer: yes - and not in a small way.

So what's going on?
Phones aren’t just screens - they’re 24/7 social comparison machines, excellent sleep wreckers, attention grabbers and stress amplifiers, ...

They are basically dopamine slot machines wrapped in Gorilla Glass.

You can lock down apps, but you can’t lock down adolescence.

Researchers now want to study kids who got phones even earlier - under age 10 - to see who’s most vulnerable and how to protect them.

Because let’s be real: 95% of teens already have smartphones.

This is no longer a question of if - it’s how do we keep them from cracking under the weight of constant connection?

This is far from a moral panic. It’s the data finally catching up to what every exhausted parent already suspected:

Childhood wasn’t built for push notifications.

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

One of my most important core beliefs is that I want to see every person win.

I want them to be successful professionally, find happiness personally, and accomplish the things in their life that give them fulfillment.

Abundance, not scarcity. Positive sum, not zero sum. Encouragement, not judgement.

I largely credit this mentality with my own happiness.

Winning is contagious and so is happiness.

I introduced HR 5704 to repeal the 2013 Smith-Mundt Modernization Act and prohibit the domestic dissemination of federally funded propaganda.

Taxpayer-funded fake news should not be used by the State Department to wage influence campaigns against the American people.

Autism

Why does Tylenol cause issues & link to autism?

Some thoughts:

The liver is responsible for the majority of processing and cleaning out in the body. Most of that is done by something called glutathione.

There is a molecule called NAC that is responsible for making the glutathione.

Tylenol blocks/uses NAC.

Thereby allowing toxins to start to accumulate and the body’s inability to detoxify itself.

If done in pregnancy, this can lead to significant issues in the developing baby.

There is likely also a correlation with heavy metals, in particular aluminum.

I would also look into low thyroid levels in the 2nd trimester as well.

It’s much more complicated than this but this is a start.

Look at the map of where autism is most prevalent throughout world and how fast it has increased and realized this is NOT a genetic issue.

Why are the rates so much higher in California?

Why do boys have a much higher rate than girls?

Keep digging.

Yesterday, @patrickbetdavid walked on stage ready to lead a prayer for Charlie Kirk’s survival.

Instead, he was struck with the heartbreaking news that Kirk had died.

You could see the pain written all over his face as his eyes welled with tears.

Yet in that moment, he delivered a powerful 3-minute message that everyone needs to hear right now.
