We must remove—imprison if appropriate—everyone working for China’s regime in our country.

[Lee @TeaPartyPDX]

In 2015 Chen acquired nearly 200,000 acres (about 197,600 acres in later inventories) of former Crown Pacific timberlands in Central Oregon from Fidelity National Financial Ventures for $85 million, or roughly $430 per acre. 
Parts of the holdings sit in the same county as an Air National Guard base, and that fact was cited in legislative debate.
Kingsley Field Air National Guard Base (home of the 173rd Fighter Wing) is at Crater Lake–Klamath Regional Airport in Klamath Falls, Klamath County. It has been transitioning to F-35A training.

The deal was made through Whitefish Cascade Forest Resources LLC (later rebranded as Shanda Asset Management LLC). The holdings are concentrated in Deschutes and Klamath counties and include the well-known ~33,000-acre Bull Springs Skyline Forest west of Bend, which borders the Deschutes National Forest.

The China-born tech billionaire who lives in the Bay Area and bought the land is Tianqiao Chen (陈天桥), founder of Shanda Interactive Entertainment. 
He and his wife Chrissy Luo moved from Singapore to California’s Bay Area in late 2017.

He joined the Chinese Communist Party as a student.
Chinese state media and university records say Chen joined the CCP in 1991 at age 18 while studying economics at Fudan University in Shanghai. He was also active in the Communist Youth League. Later he served on the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), an advisory body, from roughly 2008 to 2018.

He appears on The Land Report 100, the main annual ranking of America’s largest private landowners.
When the magazine first added him in early 2024 he ranked #82 overall with the ~198,000 acres in Oregon. Later editions and articles have listed him around #85 or #86. One 2026 report still referred to him as the country’s 82nd-largest landowner. 

Among foreign owners of U.S. land he is consistently described as No. 2, behind only the Irving family of Canada (who hold more than 1.2 million acres of timberland in Maine). 
The ranking is based on the Oregon timberland only; his much larger Canadian holdings are not counted in the U.S. list.

@nataliegwinters It seems to be a problem across the country.

China owns land that surrounds our military bases across America.

How does this happen 🤔

CASTOR OIL HEALS TISSUE
DEEPER THAN ANY CREAM —
BUT 95% APPLY IT WRONG

1. Castor oil penetrates 3 inches into tissue within 20 minutes — but only cold-pressed, hexane-free oil, never processed.

2. Apply castor oil at 9 PM (bedtime) — your skin absorption rates triple during sleep when pores are most open.

3. Never apply castor oil on broken skin — it pulls toxins into the bloodstream too fast and causes flu-like symptoms.

4. Castor oil packs are for liver detox; castor oil rubs are for joint pain — different application methods, different results.

5. Pair castor oil with a heating pad — heat increases penetration depth by 70% compared to cold application.

6. Castor oil works best on the lower right abdomen (liver area) — that's where lymphatic drainage is most concentrated.

7. Cycle castor oil packs: 3 days on, 4 days off — your skin becomes impermeable with daily use and stops absorbing.

Sweden is officially trading screens and tablets for physical books and handwriting to reverse a decline in reading skills.

Once at the forefront of hyper-digitalized learning, Sweden is engineering a dramatic pivot back to the basics in its classrooms. Concerned that an overreliance on digital tablets and screens has eroded reading comprehension and foundational writing skills, Swedish education officials are investing heavily in traditional printed textbooks.

The national strategy aims to phase out digital devices for children under the age of six entirely, following a drop in international reading assessment scores.

Experts point out that while technology was championed to level the playing field, its unrestricted use has instead led to shorter attention spans and reduced retention among younger learners.

Scientific evidence strongly supports this retro transition. Research indicates that the physical act of handwriting activates complex neural networks governing motor skills, vision, memory, and language—cognitive benefits that are largely lost on a keyboard.

Furthermore, reading from a printed page provides critical spatial cues that aid comprehension, unlike digital screens that often subject students to cognitive fatigue and constant distractions. While computers and tablets remain valuable tools for research and collaboration, educators worldwide are watching Sweden's massive reinvestment in physical books as a potential blueprint for a more balanced, science-backed approach to modern schooling.

Four cloves of garlic a day is her version of an antibiotic.

Barbara O’Neill mixes a “flu bomb” when someone has a bad cold: crushed garlic, a bit of chopped ginger, lemon juice, honey, one drop of eucalyptus or tea tree oil, and as much cayenne as you can stand.

It all goes into half a cup of hot water. She says the first sip feels like you just swallowed a bomb. Kids get a much smaller clove.

Old kitchen remedies keep showing up because people still reach for them when they feel terrible.

When Hebei wholesalers dip freshly harvested cabbages into toxic formaldehyde solution just to save money on refrigeration, it exposes how systemic corruption continues to poison China's food supply.

Formaldehyde is a classified Group 1 carcinogen linked directly to cancer. Consuming produce treated with this toxic preservative is extremely hazardous, causing severe gastrointestinal irritation, digestive tract erosion, and long-term chemical risks.

Neighboring democracies are taking zero chances. South Korea immediately instituted mandatory 100% border testing on Chinese cabbage imports, while Taiwan bans them entirely.

The fact that free societies must treat Chinese produce like a potential biohazard speaks volumes. When an authoritarian regime prioritizes propaganda over public health, dangerous shortcuts become a permanent feature.

A developer using Bluetooth headphones accidentally caught Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba secretly hijacking his computer's audio system without making a single sound.

When his wireless headphones refused to switch audio to his phone while browsing AliExpress, he inspected the site's hidden code. He discovered background scripts holding his computer's audio pipeline wide open.

Alibaba was using the browser's WebAudio API to run invisible sound waves at zero volume. By measuring tiny hardware differences in how each computer processes those signals, the site created a unique digital fingerprint to track devices.

Because the secret audio path stayed active, it froze his Bluetooth connection while quietly scraping hardware memory, screen dimensions, and network data in the background.

Friendly reminder that you choose your reactions. You don't have to go into a fit of rage when an idiot cuts you off in traffic. You could laugh instead, and if you choose to react that way consistently enough, the quality of your life goes through the roof.

[Darshak Rana ⚡️ @thedarshakrana]

Your brain physically rewires itself every time you think a thought.

Donald Hebb stumbled onto this principle in 1949 while studying memory formation in lab rats.

He noticed that neurons that activated simultaneously began forming stronger connections over time, creating dedicated pathways where none existed before.

Scientists called it Hebb's Law.

The rest of us call it "neurons that fire together wire together."

Every habit, every skill, every automatic response in your body exists as a neural pathway carved by repetition. The route from your bedroom to your kitchen becomes a superhighway in your brain because you walk it every morning. The sequence of movements you use to tie your shoes becomes hardwired because you've done it thousands of times.

But, this same process builds your personality.

~ That tendency to check your phone when you feel anxious becomes a neural pathway.
~ The automatic urge to argue when someone challenges your opinion becomes a neural pathway.
~ The way you deflect compliments or seek validation or avoid difficult conversations becomes a neural pathway.

And it gets strengthened every time you repeat the pattern.

Your brain cannot distinguish between physical actions and mental habits. Both carve grooves in your neural architecture. Both become automatic responses when triggered. Both feel like "who you are" because they happen without conscious choice.

But, most people spend decades accidentally building neural superhighways to behaviors they claim they want to change.

You say you want to be confident, then practice self doubt every day. You say you want to be productive, then strengthen procrastination pathways by checking social media when work feels hard. You say you want authentic relationships, then wire yourself for people pleasing by avoiding conflict whenever it arises.

The brain observes your actions and assumes this must be what you want. So it builds infrastructure to make these patterns easier to execute in the future.

Neuroplasticity research reveals there is no "fixed self." The personality you think defines you is just a collection of neural pathways that have been reinforced more often than others.

The pathways you travel most frequently become the widest roads. The thoughts you think most often become the loudest voices. The behaviors you repeat most consistently become your automatic responses.

But the same mechanism that locks you into patterns can unlock you from them.

Every time you catch yourself mid pattern and choose differently, you send a signal to your brain that the old pathway might not be serving you anymore.

Every time you practice a new response instead of defaulting to the familiar one, you begin building new neural infrastructure.

The process feels awkward at first because you're literally walking through mental wilderness, creating trails where no trails existed. But repetition turns trails into paths, paths into roads, roads into superhighways.

This is why changing habits through willpower alone fails. You're trying to muscle through established neural superhighways instead of building alternative routes. The old pathways don't disappear just because you want them to. They have to be replaced through deliberate rewiring.

The most sophisticated meditation practitioners in the world understand this intuitively. They systematically rewire their brains by repeatedly choosing calm responses instead of reactive ones. Ten thousand hours of practice creates neural pathways so robust that serenity becomes their default state.

Professional athletes do the same thing with performance.They practice the mental patterns that support excellence until confidence, focus, and resilience become neurologically hardwired.

The implications of neuroplasticity extend far beyond personal development. Every social bias, every cultural assumption, every automatic judgment you make exists as neural wiring built through repetition. The way you unconsciously categorize people, the assumptions you make about different groups, the stereotypes that feel "obviously true" are all learned pathways that can be unlearned.

Societies change when enough individuals rewire their neural patterns around new ways of thinking and behaving.

The brain you have right now is not the brain you're stuck with. It's the brain you've trained through repetition. Every thought you choose, every action you take, every response you practice is a vote for the kind of neural architecture you want to build.

Most people cast these votes unconsciously, then wonder why their life feels automatic and unchangeable.

The moment you realize you're the architect of your own neural patterns is the moment real transformation becomes possible.

Your neurons are firing right now as you read this.

What are you choosing to wire them toward?

A long-running study from the University of Helsinki found that women who regularly engage in traditional “grandma hobbies” such as knitting, sewing, crocheting, and gardening tend to live up to eight years longer on average.

These activities help calm the nervous system by lowering stress and promoting a meditative, focused state through repetitive movement.
They also build confidence by creating a sense of purpose, routine, and visible accomplishment.
Mentally, such hobbies keep the brain active, supporting memory, attention, and cognitive flexibility as women age.

Together, these effects show that simple, creative pastimes can be deeply therapeutic, emotionally grounding, and beneficial for long-term health.
