@RoKhanna How well did that work for France? They have all that and more, their economy is in the dumpster.

@mehdirhasan I'll allow it.

On the sixteenth of December 1960 a twelve-year-old boy was put on a table in a San Jose hospital, given electric shocks until he was unconscious, and had an ice pick hammered through the thin bone above each eye and swept from side to side through the front of his brain, because his stepmother had told the doctor he was defiant. The doctor's fee was two hundred dollars.

Howard Dully was a big, clumsy, daydreaming boy whose mother had died when he was five, and his father had married a woman called Lou who could not stand him. She took him to six psychiatrists. All six told her the problem was not the boy. The seventh was Walter Freeman, who had performed more lobotomies than any man alive, who drove between state hospitals in a van he called the lobotomobile doing them by the dozen in an afternoon, with no gloves and no surgical training, and who had once done twenty-five in a day. Freeman's notes on Howard, which Howard did not read for forty-four years, record the symptoms. He objects to going to bed. He turns the lights on when there is broad daylight. He does not react to love or to punishment. He has a savage streak. On that evidence, and Lou's signature, and two hundred dollars, Freeman wrote that the boy would benefit from a transorbital lobotomy and did it four days later.

Howard remembers the table. He remembers waking with two black eyes and a fever and no idea what had been done to him, because nobody told him, then or ever. His father never spoke of it. Lou put him into a state institution the following year, and the boy with the holes in his brain spent the next forty years in and out of asylums, juvenile halls, a jail, halfway houses and the street, drinking, drifting, never quite able to say why he was the way he was, with a photograph that existed somewhere of a doctor in a suit standing over a child with a steel spike in each eye socket.

At fifty-six, driving a school bus, he went to find out. He found his file in Freeman's archive at a university in Washington, in the doctor's own handwriting, and read for the first time what his stepmother had said and what the doctor had agreed to. He went to see his father, who was eighty, and asked him why he had let it happen, and his father said he had been bullied into it. Howard told the story on the radio in 2005 and five million people listened to a man weep over a piece of paper.

Walter Freeman was not a quack. He was a professor of neurology, the man who had brought the lobotomy to America, and the operation had won its inventor the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1949. The journals published him. The hospitals booked him. The newspapers called it a miracle. He did it to three and a half thousand people, nineteen of them children, and he kept doing it until 1967, when a patient died on the table and the hospital took his privileges away, and he spent his last years driving the country in the van looking up his old patients to prove it had worked.

That is what settled science looked like from inside, to a twelve-year-old. A mother's complaint, an expert's confidence, a procedure with a prize behind it, two hundred dollars, and a lifetime nobody could give back.

The same institutions now tell you what your child should eat, in the same voice, with the same certainty, and the leaflet has a logo on it. Howard Dully is in his seventies and still cannot say what was taken. Nobody ever apologised.

Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo prays for America and Israel as he kneels and weeps in front of the mass grave of his own church members killed in Nigeria.

His prayer:

"Father, visit Trump - let him increase foot soldiers to come to Middle Belt. Use your power to bring out Benjamin Netanyahu to save us in Nigeria. Father, protect Israel from their enemy... bless America and Israel that would join to save us in Nigeria.

I want peace to reign in this country. Fight the battle that we cannot fight."

Doggone it!!

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

Right now, a genocide against Christians, perpetrated by Muslims, is happening in Nigeria.

More than 3,000 members of Reverend Ezekiel Dachomo’s church have been killed. And he has already conducted over 200 mass burials for his congregation.

This year alone, more Christians have been killed in Nigeria than Gazans in 3 years of war. But no one seems to care, and the media remains silent.

I showed my son the "HOT/CRAZY MATRIX" video and this may be the most hilariously accurate video ever created.

Poking fun at trans-people well ahead of its time.

If you've never seen this before PLEASE watch it, it's pure cinema... downright hilarious in every way 🤣

Interesting. I'm sure they are voting blue too.

[The Maine Wire @TheMaineWire]

Over the last few days, we've observed NGOs dropping off groups of Somalis to vote in Lewiston, where they are being aided by "translators," who are likely also being paid by NGOs...

MANY red flags here...

Boys should know how to treat people with disabilities.

Most people don’t know what to say… so they stare, avoid, or say the wrong thing.

Today we taught the boys something simple: speak to them, not around them. Don’t stare. Don’t assume. Just be respectful. Also, lend a helping hand.

Before we started, they all knew we were trying to teach so they didn’t think I was really being mean.

At the end of the day, they’re people first.

[Lynnejo @lynpyn76]

He tried to tell us, and no one heard.

[Nicholas Lissack @NicholasLissack]

The late Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, warned of the dangers of tolerating or seeking “dialogue” and “understanding” with radical Islamists and Marxists.

He was right about everything. France’s devastation proves it yet again.

We should have listened to this wise man.

@ThrillaRilla369 I have noticed this as well. McDonald's looks like a prison!

France brought this sh*t to Iran.
Now the same sh*t is burning down France.

We are in the middle of this currently.

My coworker's mother passed away last November.

She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work.

He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate.

Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office.

Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title.

He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance.

The caseworker sighed and told him:

"Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full."

He offered to pay a monthly settlement.

They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction.

A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien.

You don't own generational wealth.

You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Palm Beach, FL - This is an example of the love we experienced today at the No Kings rally today in Palm Beach.

Liberal women really have no clue how to handle a person of color and legal immigrant who supports President Trump and our law enforcement agencies.

Full video dropping tomorrow! You don't want to miss it!

Is anyone thinking about the insane possibilities that may come and our next steps? At what point in the future will America need to secure the Nuclear Arsenal of Europe? What will France need to look like before we go get them?
