Growing up in Connecticut, I always assumed the majority of Americans had Italian-Irish ancestry.
Pizza places on every block, Irish pubs, kids in your graduating class named Ryan Mancino/Maria Murphy, everyone is Catholic.
Once I left New England, I realized how unique it was.
@ChrisMasterjohn@theNOBSdentist If someone has a narrow palate it can be very difficult to properly mew or have the space to thumb pull. However, bone-borne expansion devices can be designed to fit and expand in narrow palate individuals.
Dostoevsky was 28 when they stood him in front of a firing squad. Blindfolded. Hands tied. He could hear the rifles being loaded.
At the last second a messenger on horseback arrived. The Tsar had commuted the sentence. The entire execution was staged. Psychological torture designed to break him.
It worked. He had a seizure on the spot.
They sent him to a labour camp in Siberia. 4 years. Freezing. Starving. Sleeping on wooden planks next to murderers. His epilepsy got worse. He had no paper. No pen. Nothing.
When he got out he was broke. His first wife died. His brother died. He inherited his brothers debts. He was so desperate for money he signed a contract with a publisher that would have given away the rights to everything hed ever write if he missed the deadline.
He wrote The Gambler in 26 days to make it. Dictated it to a 20 year old stenographer named Anna. Married her three months later.
Then the real work started. Crime and Punishment. The Idiot. Demons. The Brothers Karamazov. The greatest novels in the history of the Russian language. Maybe any language.
The man who stood blindfolded before the firing squad, who convulsed on the ground while soldiers watched, who slept next to killers in Siberia for 4 years, who was buried in debt and grief.
That man wrote: "every minute can be an eternity of happiness."
He earned the right to say it.
its never over. never give up fren.
Shein's clothes are so toxic the state of Texas is suing them.
Lab testing found:
- PFAS at 3,300x the EU limit in 7 jackets (no federal US limit)
- Phthalates at up to 428x the legal limit (children's shoes/accessories)
- Formaldehyde (toxic VOC)
Until lawsuits and legislation force Big Clothing to change, find natural fiber clothes free of toxic dyes, coatings, and treatments on the Oasis app.
The COVID cover-up goes all the way to the top. Fauci funded the Wuhan lab. Senior intelligence officials hid classified evidence from the president himself. Scientists were silenced. Millions paid the price.
The DOJ has until May 11th to prosecute Fauci before the statute of limitations runs out.
I am not letting this go. The American people deserve justice.

VAERS dropped the receipts on miscarriage/stillbirth reports by year… and just take a look at 2021-2022.
From basically flatline for decades to over 3,500+ reports in 2021 alone? That’s not a gentle curve - that’s a cliff.
They told pregnant women these shots were ‘safe and effective,’ pushed them hard… and now we’re staring at this explosion in reports right after the rollout. Coincidence? Or is the ‘root cause’ conversation they shut down on autism about to blow up here too?
Hospitals reporting days with ZERO births? Empty delivery rooms? What the actual is going on with our kids and the next generation?
Epstein + Bobby Kotick (CEO of Activision Blizzard - the company behind Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, Candy Crush, Diablo, Overwatch) in leaked 2013 emails:
“How do we teach kids to spend money for the rest of their lives as early as possible?”
Answer: microtransactions in Call of Duty + sexy rewards + guns + virtual items.
Because “education through games is for losers” - we need to hook them on constant paying.
Kotick’s name appears over 300 times in Epstein’s files.
This isn’t a conspiracy theory. These are their own words.
And look around - that’s exactly what kids’ gaming looks like today. 💀
🚨 WOW: Oldham County GOP literally cut the mic on Thomas Massie after he said:
“I am a congressman. I don’t work for the Speaker. I work for YOU.”
That’s the line that scared them.
Not corruption. Not scandals. Accountability.
This party doesn’t want representatives. It wants puppets.
This is more evil than just proposing a red meat allergy.
Alpha-gal syndrome can actually cause people to go into anaphylactic shock from leather, pet dander, milk and dairy products, carrageenan, cooking meat fumes and more.
You can even be restricted from flying due to it!

Leaves behind:
The destruction of the central bank.

The expansion of executive power.

Proof that an orphan from the American frontier can defy empires.
