@TomCottonAR There's always another malevolence that wants power, the real issue is who lines up behind it and votes it into power.

@Liz_Wheeler This "decision" is cultural suicide.

[Ron DeSantis @RonDeSantis]

“I do not forget the position assumed by some that constitutional questions are to be decided by the Supreme Court, nor do I deny that such decisions must be binding in any case upon the parties to a suit as to the object of that suit, while they are also entitled to very high respect and consideration in all parallel cases by all other departments of the Government. And while it is obviously possible that such decision may be erroneous in any given case, still the evil effect following it, being limited to that particular case, with the chance that it may be overruled and never become a precedent for other cases, can better be borne than could the evils of a different practice. At the same time, the candid citizen must confess that if the policy of the Government upon vital questions affecting the whole people is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court, the instant they are made in ordinary litigation between parties in personal actions the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned their Government into the hands of that eminent tribunal.“

@RandPaul ...when was the last time 2/3 of the Senate and House agreed on anything political ?

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@Fat_Electrician ...and also somehow avoided that whole "conquest - submission - beheading" preoccupation. Must be that "Christianity" stuff.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@FoxNews ...thereby locking in the "Easter bunny" vote...

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@BasedMikeLee ...which requires a 2/3 majority in both houses. And given R's cant/wont pass their own agenda at 50.5%, will never happen.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@vinelodge @afshineemrani Hasn't been true since y2k.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@christoph_wertz @afshineemrani You will get the cheapest thing the "insurance company" algorithm predicts, and you will die.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@TheLaurenChen ...and BTW never practiced conquest, beheadings and tango-ism.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@robbystarbuck ...and oh yeah they are devoutly observant Christians who have never practiced mass murder, beheadings, and conquest.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@RandPaul Prediction: nothing will happen.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@atensnut ...because the Ten Commandments are not just "what you think".

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@ItsAllPoliticss ...if the R party doesn't put that man up next time it needs a brain transplant.

[Derek "numbers" Marknofski @marknofski]

@elonmusk ...anybody investigating whether a side effect of "the jab" is prevasive dementia ?

I'm a cardiologist. If I could only recommend two supplements for the rest of my career, it would be these:

Magnesium glycinate.
Vitamin D3 with K2.

I take both every day. I prescribe both constantly. And the number of patients whose lives visibly change within weeks of starting them still surprises me after twenty years.
Up to 75% of Americans are low in magnesium. Most have no idea. If you're stressed, sleeping poorly, cramping at night, your blood pressure runs high, or you feel wired but exhausted — this is probably why.

Magnesium calms the nervous system, relaxes blood vessels, supports healthy heart rhythms, and improves sleep quality. The glycinate form is highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach. 300-400mg before bed. It's the supplement patients thank me for most — because they finally wake up feeling calm instead of wrecked.
Most Americans are also deficient in vitamin D. Low D3 quietly ruins your mood, weakens your immunity, increases inflammation, and raises cardiovascular risk. I see suboptimal levels constantly in my heart patients. Target blood levels of 50-80 ng/mL — not the bare minimum of 30 most doctors accept.

Here's what almost nobody knows: low D3 actively depletes magnesium. Your body uses magnesium to convert D3 into its active form. If you supplement D3 without magnesium, you can actually worsen a magnesium deficiency — and wonder why you still feel terrible.
You need both. They work as a system.

And always take D3 with K2. Without K2, calcium from D3 can deposit in your arteries instead of your bones. Together, they keep bones dense and arteries clean.
D3 with K2 in the morning with a meal containing fat — they're fat-soluble.
Magnesium glycinate at night before bed.

Cheap. Available everywhere. Backed by extensive evidence. And the combination addresses two of the most common deficiencies driving the fatigue, poor sleep, anxiety, muscle cramps, and low mood that millions of people are medicating with far more expensive and dangerous interventions.

Your future self will thank you. Probably within two weeks.

Wisdom from Hannah Arendt here.
Total domination runs on two engines
Terror - isolates people, preventing them from organising together
Ideology - a ubiquitous explanation that is unfalsifiable.
The ideal subject for the regime is not a fanatic, but a person who can no longer discern between fact and fiction, and true and false. They only trust what they are told, not what they see. It’s not that they believe the lie, it’s that are too exhausted to form another belief.
This was said before the exhausting technology of social media was around, before the insistence that we a must have the right opinion on everything, on things like climate science and immunology, that most of us couldn’t possibly have expertise in. To avoid isolation we have to carry the right opinion or stay silent, so we select the opinion of the authorised experts, because we are too exhausted to use our own resources and too frightened to be isolated from society and the market. Even when our experts say ridiculous things, like human sex categories are made up of declarations and fabrics, people fall in because of the energy and the cost to resist.

@NikkiHaley ...and the really amazing thing is that none of these tautologies seems obvious to whatever is going on right now.

@RealJamesWoods ...and a big thanks to all those non-fireable public school teachers who refused to teach "western civ".
