After my first child was born the pediatrician came in to educate us on vaccines

Immediately he brings up heavy metals:

"Are you worried about the aluminum in vaccines? Because you should know your baby gets more aluminum from breast milk than they do from a vaccine"

I didn't argue, but I did do my research

A single vaccine contains between 0.125-0.85mg of aluminum

In comparison breast milk contains between 0.01-0.05mg of aluminum per liter (34oz or about 4 cups), and infants drink between 16-32oz of breast milk per day

So if we assume the lowest intake of milk and lowest aluminum level in that milk it would take about 25 days to reach the same 0.125mg in some vaccines

If we assume the highest content in breast milk and that the baby drinks a full 32oz per day it takes more like 3-17 days to reach the level in a single dose of a vaccine (0.125-0.85)

Sounds logical, right?

The problem is the pediatrician was completely ignoring an important point, BIOAVAILABILITY

Aluminum from breast milk has less than a 1% bioavailability, meanwhile the bioavailability of aluminum in vaccines approaches 100% absorption

This means we need to take the number above and multiply it by 100x, it would take a year of 1 liter daily breast milk to even surpass the lowest aluminum content in vaccines, and with the current schedule MULTIPLE are stacked together in the first few days of life

This is the kind of thing that frustrates me endlessly, I believe people should weigh risk/benefit and choose what they believe is best for their child, but twisting the facts to give a blatantly false impression ("you're giving your child more aluminum than a vaccine") is pure fear based manipulation

There are examples of this being done to women and parents every single day in the medical system

🚨 ARE YOU KIDDING? Colorado is one governor’s signature away from passing a draconian bill that would ban ABA services for unvaccinated children.

“This bill caught my attention … because it seemed almost cruel and bizarre.”

“HB26-1425 in Colorado would ban ABA services for unvaccinated kids.”

“We’re actually calling on everyone in the nation to call Governor Polis.”

“Tell him, ‘Don’t do this.’”

“If you have a child receiving ABA services in America, call Governor Polis.”

“Tell him not to go forward with this bill.”

🚨MUST SEE AMERICA! TEXANS ARE RISING UP

"I WAS KIDNAPPED BY MUSLIMS" - GREAT-GRANDSON OF SAM HOUSTON & DAVY CROCKETT DESTROYS FRISCO MOSQUE PLAN

This one hit like a thunderbolt.

Joel Teemi, direct descendant of Texas legends, stood before the Frisco City Council last night and delivered pure fire:

“My great grandfather was the first president of the Texas Republic… Sam Houston.

Another great-grandfather fought at the Alamo… Davy Crockett.

My great-great-great-grandfathers fought under George Washington in the Continental Army.”

Born on Langley Air Force Base. Military family for generations. He went into ministry instead, preached in 58 countries.

In 2021 he was kidnapped and held hostage by Islamic supremacists in the Middle East while caring for the widows and children of the 21 Coptic Christians beheaded by ISIS on that Libyan beach.

His own young children have lived on the front lines.

Their friends were killed by Muslims.

His message was crystal clear and unapologetic:

“I don’t want to bring a mosque to Texas ever. We shouldn’t have one here. It’s incompatible with what it means to be an American.”

He pointed to true assimilation: his brother’s wife, a former Muslim from India, converted to Catholicism, learned English, and joined a church, instead of demanding a mosque.

“Christ is King… Stay true to your roots.”

Real Texas bloodlines are showing up and saying NO.

Frisco is awake. Texas is awake.

The fight continues.

As a Californian, this is sickening and unacceptable, just stop it now!

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the Director of Strategic Planning at the California High-Speed Rail Authority.

I have held this position for seventeen years. In that time I have written four business plans, overseen six revisions, and authored eleven methodology updates. The train has not moved.

There is a hard hat on the shelf behind my desk. It was given to me at the Fresno groundbreaking ceremony in 2015. It is still in the cellophane. I use it as a bookend for the business plan binders. There are four binders. They are substantial. The hat holds them upright.

In 2008, California voters approved Proposition 1A. San Francisco to Los Angeles. Two hours and forty minutes. Fifty-five dollars per ticket. Ninety-five million annual riders by 2030. Total cost: $33.5 billion. Fifty-three percent said yes.

The current cost estimate is $231 billion.

I am sometimes asked to provide context for that figure. The state housing shortage is 2.5 million units. At the California median home price, $231 billion would produce 577,000 of them. The average public school teacher in California earns $95,000. $231 billion is every one of their salaries for eight years. The state has a documented wildfire suppression staffing gap. $231 billion would fund 6,400 additional fire crews for a century. I include these comparisons for context. They are not relevant to my work.

We have built 119 miles of infrastructure. Columns. Viaducts. Grade separations. You can see them from Highway 99 between Madera and Bakersfield. They stand in rows across land that used to grow things. No track runs on them. No train has touched them. Some of them have graffiti now. I have seen the photographs in the quarterly progress reports. I have not visited.

There was an almond grower outside Hanford. She is in our files as Parcel 417, Hanford East. The Authority acquired twelve acres of her property through eminent domain in 2016 for right-of-way clearance. The trees were removed. The soil was graded flat. The right-of-way has been clear for nine years. Nothing has been built on Parcel 417. Her file notes that she attended three public comment hearings between 2014 and 2016. I do not know what she said at those hearings. I know what we said. We called the acquisition "a critical milestone in the project's advancement." I wrote those words for the 2016 Annual Report. They were well-received. Her contact information has been flagged in the Phase 2 preliminary assessment, in case additional right-of-way is required. Phase 2 does not yet exist. Her contact information does.

The original completion date was 2020. The current target is 2032. The route has been revised from San Francisco-to-Los Angeles to Merced-to-Bakersfield. One hundred seventy-one miles. I refer to this as Phase 1.

The French national rail company, SNCF, joined the project as a consulting partner in 2010. They left in 2011. They used the phrase "political dysfunction," which is diplomatic language for a country that built the Eiffel Tower in two years telling you it cannot build your train. SNCF then went to Morocco and built a high-speed rail line from Tangier to Casablanca. Two hundred miles. Operational by 2018. Seven years.

We are in year eighteen. I included the SNCF departure in the 2022 business plan as a "comparative international case study." The lesson I drew was that Morocco has simpler permitting requirements. This is accurate. I did not draw other lessons.

The $9.95 billion bond that voters approved costs the state $647 million per year for thirty years. Roughly $20 billion in total repayment. The bond is being serviced on schedule. $647 million leaves the state treasury every year and arrives in accounts associated with a train that does not carry passengers. It has done this since 2010. The bond repayment is the most functional transit system we have built. It moves $647 million a year. On time. Every time.

In 2019, Governor Newsom said the project "would cost too much and, respectfully, take too long." He then continued funding it. I appreciated the word "respectfully." It acknowledged the problem without producing an obligation to solve it. My team delivered the 2020 business plan revision the following quarter. It was well-received.

The Governor also supported legislation to shield certain cost details from public disclosure. That same year, thousands of pages were removed from the Authority's website. I was not involved in that decision. I was involved in the pages.

Last Friday, a television host told the Governor on camera that the project now costs $231 billion. The Governor said, "No, it's not. It's not." The $231 billion figure is from the 2026 draft business plan. Page 47. I wrote page 47. The Governor then said we had gotten the project "back on track." I noted the phrasing. A rail project that has not yet laid operational track is not, in a strict sense, on one. I did not raise this.

The ridership projection has been revised from 95 million annual riders by 2030 to 36 million by 2060. I updated that figure personally during the 2024 planning cycle. The ticket price has been revised from $55 to $105. Both figures describe a service that does not yet exist.

The State Auditor published a report. The title is: "Flawed Decision Making and Poor Contract Management Have Contributed to Billions in Cost Overruns and Delays in the System's Construction." That is twenty words. We have 119 miles of columns that carry nothing. I read the report carefully. It was thorough. We incorporated its findings into the next business plan revision.

The board was scheduled to vote on the latest business plan on April 29th. The vote was delayed. Additional review was requested. I support additional review.

My pension vests in 2034. The project's current completion target is 2032. If the train is finished on schedule, my position becomes unnecessary two years before my pension matures. The completion date is determined by the business plan. I write the business plan.

The plan says the project should continue. It has always said this. I have never written one that recommended otherwise.

6 coisas que os filhos fazem só por um tempo... e depois desaparecem para sempre 😞

1. Um dia eles param de correr até você assim que acordam.
Aquele barulho de pezinhos no corredor, o abraço na cama... aos poucos dá lugar ao silêncio e à porta fechada do quarto.

2. Eles param de dizer: "Mamãe, papai, olha!"
Já não correm mais para te mostrar cada pedrinha ou cada desenho.
Pouco a pouco, o mundo deles fica mais silencioso... e mais deles.

3. Um dia eles param de segurar sua mão enquanto caminham.
E de repente você sente o vazio.
Não porque o amor acabou... mas porque eles estão crescendo.

4. Um dia eles param de dormir nos seus braços.
Aquele apoio no seu ombro, a respiração ficando calma...
são momentos que, sem aviso, acabam.

5. Em algum momento, eles deixam de acreditar que o seu beijo resolve tudo.
Antes bastava um curativo.
Depois, as feridas mais profundas começam a se esconder na música e no silêncio... não mais nos seus braços.

6. Eles param de te trazer seus "tesouros".
Folhas, papéis, pequenas descobertas.
Aquele amor puro e espontâneo... simplesmente diminui.

A infância não é um ensaio. Acontece agora e, enquanto ainda pedem colo e chamam você o dia inteiro, aproveite cada momento. ❤️

The single LARGEST vaccine–dementia study ever conducted (n=13.3 MILLION) found that adult vaccines (flu, pneumococcal, shingles, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis) increase risk of DEMENTIA (+38%) and ALZHEIMER’S (+50%) for a DECADE.

The more doses, the higher the dementia risk.
