@Keltic_Spirit Today I walked away from Tillamook cheese. I have been exclusively buying their cheese, butter and ice cream for years. Loved their products but the new messaging has lost my loyalty!

IF YOU WRITE IN RALPH NORMAN YOU WILL BE SPLITTING THE REPUBLICAN VOTE & WILL CAUSE A DEMOCRAT TO WIN THE SENATE PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT !!!! I DONT LIKE DARLINE NORDONE EITHER BUT WE MUST STAND TOGETHER AT THIS TIME OR WE WILL LOSE IT ALL TOGETHER.

[Tara Servatius @TaraServatius]

TRANSLATION: The UniParty Republican leadership is starving Texas US Senate candidate Ken Paxton of cash because he is a conservative.

Once you understand that they'd rather have Democrat Talafreako win than have a conservative in the US Senate, it all makes sense.

The problem is that Texas is the most critical Senate race in the country.

Paxton began the race AHEAD in the critical Texas race, but after Democrats spending $31 million while the National Republican Senate Committee starved him for cash, Paxton is down by over 3 points.

The Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) has approximately $239 million in cash on hand according to its mid-2026 Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings, and it has spent $0 directly to support Ken Paxton.

Sen. Tim Scott's National Republican Senatorial Committee says they won't fund him, either.

The excuse? After starving Paxton of cash, he's down in the polls. Now they're saying he's a bad candidate because Paxton is down 3 points, and using it as a justification to starve him of more cash.

Meanwhile, Michael Whatley, who has zero chance of winning in North Carolina against popular Democrat Governor Roy Cooper, is down 8 POINTS after the SLF Republicans blew $17 million and plans to blow $50 million more. Scott's NSRC is also blowing money on ads for Whatley. Again, tens of millions in, Whatley is sinking in the polls.

Why spend on Whatley? He's a liberal Republican who isn't even that popular among REPUBLICANS in NC.

GOP leadership is now pointing at Trump to bridge the gap with his MAGA, Inc. PAC, and Trump did just hold a fundraiser for Paxton, but won't committ to spending money so far. Trump has also been largely at war with conservatives lately, spending money to defeat Republican Ralph Norman in a REPUBLICAN primary in South Carolina.

That $1.6 million blown in the SC GOP primary to punish Ralph Norman really could have helped Paxton.

Republicans have to get smarter, or we will hand the Senate and the House to Democrats by default.

@Ghostofcynthia @TPUSA @ScottPresler South Carolinian here. Three time Trump voter and definitely MAGA! However I was totally behind @ScottPresler and @TPUSA in support of Ralph Norman. The true conservative was Norman. They did not go behind Trump's back, they made the right choice for SC!

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@suzy_redd Unbelievable !

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@ScottPresler Done!

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@seanmdav My family will be voting Norman on the 25th.

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@SCVotersCo Boomer here. My husband and I both voted Norman.

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@suzy_redd My husband and I voted Ralph Norman today!

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@carlyon_matthew Voting Ralph!

An 80-year-old Japanese-American woman with advanced Alzheimer’s—bedbound, incontinent, and speaking only in single syllables for years—just shattered our understanding of neurodegeneration.

After a single supervised 5-gram dose of psilocybin mushrooms (Enigma strain), she woke up after 19 hours and did the impossible:
+ Regained full speech (forming complete, coherent sentences)
+ Recovered lost memories (recalling long-forgotten life events)
+ Regained mobility & continence (dressing herself and staying dry)
+ Restored eye contact and humor
A follow-up 3-gram dose one month later boosted her verbal fluency and agility even further. These gains lasted for weeks.

🧠 This Is Not A Cure. It’s Something More Profound.
The case report, published in Frontiers in Neuroscience (May 27, 2026), proves that functions we assumed were irreversibly destroyed by dementia are actually still there—they are simply trapped behind broken neural gates. Psilocybin bypassed the damage. How? Through explosive, rapid neuroplasticity:
+ The 5-HT2A Switch: Psilocybin floods 5-HT2A serotonin receptors, triggering a massive spike in BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor).
+ Neural Rewiring: BDNF acts like fertilizer for the brain, driving dendritic spine growth, synaptogenesis, and the repair of broken networks.
+ Circuit Restoration: It downregulates chronic neuroinflammation and re-establishes critical communication between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex.

🛑 The Tragedy of Our Delay: Johns Hopkins is already studying psilocybin for depression in early-stage cognitive decline. But for late-stage, severe patients? It is an absolute shame that we aren't taking these trials more seriously. Modern medicine has exactly zero treatments that restore lost function in advanced dementia. This single case demands immediate action.
We don't have time to wait for a 10-year bureaucratic pipeline while millions of minds fade into the fog.

⚡ The Directive for Compassionate Use: President Trump’s executive order accelerating psychedelic research gives us the exact legal framework we need. We must bypass the standard red tape and establish compassionate use protocols immediately for advanced patients. For millions of families watching their loved ones slip away, this case report is a thunderbolt of hope. The brain still holds secrets, and science moves fast when we get out of its way.

What if a single guided experience could give you back one last conversation with the person you love?

🔄 Share this if you want real hope for dementia. Access and research must accelerate NOW.

@NancyMace Property tax, first. State income tax next!

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@Supersonic_Red @kathrynwise6869 Exactly! I am of this generation!

[HAP @PardeeHelene]

@Tanyaelisabeth Boomer here. I have one grandchild I absolutely adore. I drop everything whenever asked to watch her. My spare income goes to help in anyway I can to make my children's lives easier. I still work fulltime and am a cancer survivor. All my boomer friends do the same!

So, I did exactly what you asked and I sat down and read ALL 261 pages of your bill.

It does support mass amnesty and I'll tell you exactly where:

Pages 162-170... The Dream Act:

You grant conditional lawful permanent resident status to ILLEGAL ALIENS who:

>Have been continuously present in the U.S. since January 1, 2021
>Entered before age 18
>Meet education, employment, or military service requirements
>Pass criminal background checks

On top of this, in Sec. 2102(b)(3)(B), DACA recipients get fast-tracked to conditional green card status.

...which is literally mass amnesty

BUT THE BILL GOES EVEN FURTHER!!!

On pages 204-217, you present the Dignity Program:

This is a separate track for illegal aliens who don't qualify for the Dream Act.

If you are an illegal aliens who:

> Was continuously present since December 31, 2020
>Pay a $1,000 upfront "restitution" fee
>Submit biometrics, pass a background check
>No felony convictions

You get work authorization + travel authorization + deferred removal for 7 years

After completing the 7-year program (paying $7,000 total in fees, staying employed, obeying laws, paying back taxes):

We grant you:
> "Dignity Status" which is essentially a lawful nonimmigrant status, which is renewable any number of times
>Work and travel authorization

But the most important bit that you're hiding here is that it totally suspends deportation of anyone who qualifies for this.

This would effective end ALL MASS DEPORTATIONS in the United States immediately.

You are a liar, you are a fraud, everything you stand for is fake... did YOU read your own bill?

Because I just did, and you are a damned LIAR!!!!!

As Jesus hung on the cross on Good Friday, He spoke seven times. Each word was deliberate. Each word was profound. Here is what He said:

1. “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)
He said this while the soldiers were still nailing Him to the cross. Not after. While it was happening. His first words from the cross were a prayer for the people killing Him.

2. “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.” (Luke 23:43)
The last person Jesus saved before He died was a convicted criminal hanging next to Him. The Church recognizes him as Saint Dismas. He asked only to be remembered. Jesus gave him Paradise.

3. “Woman, behold your son. Behold your mother.” (John 19:26-27)
Nailed to the cross, Jesus looked down and entrusted His mother to John. The Church holds that in this moment Jesus was not only providing for Mary personally. He was giving her as Mother to all of humanity.

4. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46)
The only time Jesus called God “God” instead of “Father.” He was quoting Psalm 22, written by King David 1,000 years earlier. The Church is clear: this was not despair. Psalm 22 begins in suffering but ends in total triumph. Jesus was pointing His listeners to the whole psalm.

5. “I thirst.” (John 19:28)
Two words. The Creator of all water, dying of thirst. Catholic teaching holds that His thirst was not only physical but a thirst for souls. Saint Teresa of Calcutta built her entire mission around these two words.

6. “It is finished.” (John 19:30)
In Latin: “Consummatum est.” The debt was paid in full. The Old Covenant fulfilled. The sacrifice complete. He bowed His head and died.

7. “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” (Luke 23:46)
His last breath was a prayer to the Father. He came from the Father. He returned to the Father. He brought us with Him.

No greater love has ever been shown.

If You stopped calling your parents at 80 and they stopped asking why.

It is not because they don’t care, not because the hurt didn’t run deep, but because at 68, 71, 74, you learn to stop chasing people, even the ones you raised, even the ones you would die for without hesitation.

They sit with it, quietly, the way old people sit with things they cannot change. They replay the last conversation, the one that went wrong, the one where voices rose and words landed like damage. They wonder what they could have said differently, they wonder if you wonder the same.

The rift feels old now, familiar almost, like a scar both of you have stopped examining. But scars don’t mean healed, they just mean covered.

Your mother still mentions you, not always directly, sometimes just in the way she goes quiet when your name comes up in another context. Your father still prays for you, even if he has run out of words to say to you directly, even if the last thing you said to each other left a taste neither of you has forgotten.

And you, you’ve built a life around the silence, convinced yourself it’s fine, that people drift, that some relationships just end, that even blood has its limits.

But at 3am when things get heavy, you know.

You know it isn’t fine, you know the silence has a weight, you know that somewhere a 70-year-old man is aging without his child and somewhere inside you, something is aging too.

The longer it goes, the harder the return feels, but the return is still possible, that is the part pride doesn’t want you to remember.
One of them will die first, it won’t be announced in advance, there will be no warning that today is the last chance, no signal that the window is closing.

Fix it before the window closes, not for them, for the version of you that will have to live with whichever choice you make today.
