Gen X. Facts matter. Truth is objective. Words mean things. Former press sec to Ron Paul. Does not believe the official story.

This is the kind of stuff old men make for their grandkids and the kids don’t know what to make of it cause it’s not high-speed, low-drag fun

Then 30 years later, they look back and realize what a good man Grandpa was

@elonmusk Can you help Hopital Lumiere in Bonne Fin Haiti? I was a missionary kid there. My dad was a surgeon there. People need to know about that place.

@BuenoForMiami 💯 agree!!!

I used to think the average person had common sense.

Then I started seeing people argue that kids can’t consent to “gender-affirming care” because they’re too young to make permanent decisions about their bodies. And I thought, “Cool, so you’re against circumcision too, right?”

That’s when I discovered that applying the same principle in a different context is apparently an impossible task for a shocking number of people.

So let me get this straight: if a kid wants something done to their body, they’re too young to consent. But if you want something done to their body, suddenly consent isn’t important?

Sooo… you can chop up your kid how you want, but not how they want?

How about we stop chopping up kids altogether?

It’s a pretty simple rule: don’t permanently alter a child’s genitals unless there’s a genuine medical necessity. The fact that you like a particular form of mutilation doesn’t magically make it not mutilation.

In America, a warehouse store. A fully roasted chicken costs five dollars, the raw chicken beside it costs seven, and I stood between them like a man between two truths.

Golden. Hot. Seasoned. Spinning in glory under the lights, in a line of its brothers. Four dollars and ninety-nine cents.

I checked the raw birds. Seven dollars. Pale. Cold. You must do everything yourself.

This is not commerce. Commerce does not move backward. Somewhere in this building, mathematics lies defeated.

I asked the man at the counter. "How is the cooked bird cheaper than the raw bird?"

"Been five bucks forever. They keep it that way."

"But the store loses."

"Yep. On purpose."

On purpose. I held my receipt with both hands.

In my land, a lord who lowered the price of rice in a hard winter was remembered for generations. They built him a small shrine. This store does it every day, with chicken, and tells no one.

A woman behind me grew tired of my reverence. "It's just a chicken, sir."

It is not just a chicken. It is a wound the merchant takes on purpose, so that anyone, on any day, with five dollars, eats like a lord. The bird is the message. The price is the vow.

I will confess: I bought two. I did not need two. The second was not hunger. It was gratitude, and it was delicious.

Some prices are not prices. They are promises.

I return every week now. I take one bird. I bow toward the deli, briefly, so as not to alarm the staff. They have begun nodding back.

The vow holds. The bird turns. Five dollars.

Long may it spin.

INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.

This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.

Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.

The Bergamo convoy. Military trucks moving through a small Italian town in early 2020, the world watching, everyone told those trucks were carrying the coffins of COVID dead. That image is part of why people accepted what came next.

It has only recently been confirmed that each of those trucks held one coffin. It was staged.

A research group of Italian doctors is compiling data showing that countries with the highest vaccination rates are also seeing the highest all-cause mortality rates.

Nurses and medical staff are now openly saying that elderly patients were being classified as COVID regardless of their actual diagnosis, because hospitals received five times the reimbursement for a COVID admission. The people dying were elderly, already carrying multiple conditions, and the act of hospitalizing them was itself part of what killed them. Scientists call that a syndemic. Not a pandemic. The difference matters.

Italy was the image used to frighten the world into compliance. I am still finding out what was actually happening here.

@doseMASTR @AwakenWithJP @JoelWebbon It's some kind of psyop. This is NOT organic.

@JanisK1953 @sappholives83 Maybe Ed Gein types though to be fair. What this guy is going through to appease that class of human is truly remarkable and sacrificial.
