Imagine this: you get paid by our tax dollars and you don’t even show up to do your job when it involves our tax dollars being stolen.

Wtf are these people doing in office if they don’t even care about our money being stolen and wasted? They are simply working against us.

Remember the start of the pandemic?

Cops chased people who paddled in the ocean, sat alone in cars, or played catch outdoors.

Swimmers were ordered to wear masks in pools.

It’s important we don’t forget how AUTHORITARIAN politicians are eager to be:

The scariest age for a man is 37.

Not because something dramatic happens that day, but because many realities begin to collide at the same time.

At 37, life stops feeling theoretical. The dreams you had in your twenties are now being measured against the reality you have built so far. Some men feel proud of their progress. Others quietly begin asking themselves uncomfortable questions.

By this age, responsibilities are usually heavy. Career pressure is real, family expectations may be rising, children may depend on you, and financial decisions suddenly carry more weight than they did before.

Another subtle thing happens around this age. You begin to notice your parents aging. The people who once looked strong and permanent start showing signs of slowing down. It reminds you that time is not standing still for anyone.

At the same time, you start realizing that your energy is no longer unlimited. The reckless optimism of youth begins to fade, and decisions must become more intentional.

For many men, 37 becomes a moment of reflection. A point where they either double down on building the life they want or drift into routines that slowly define the rest of their years.

The scary part is not the age itself.

It is the clarity that suddenly arrives with it.

In order to be born, you needed:

2 parents
4 grandparents
8 great-grandparents
16 second great-grandparents
32 third great-grandparents
64 fourth great-grandparents
128 fifth great-grandparents
256 sixth great-grandparents
512 seventh great-grandparents
1,024 eighth great grandparents
2,048 ninth great-grandparents

For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years.

Think for a moment:
How many struggles?
How many battles?
How many difficulties?
How much sadness?
How much happiness?
How many love stories?
How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

I spent $12,000 on therapy over 2 years trying to fix my anger before someone checked my blood

Was snapping at my girlfriend over nothing. Road rage every commute. Constant irritability that I'd mask all day at work and then explode the second I got home. Therapist said it was unprocessed childhood trauma. We spent 2 years unpacking my relationship with my father

Here's what was actually happening in my body: my gut was leaking endotoxin into my bloodstream which was keeping my immune system in a permanent inflammatory state. Chronic inflammation elevates cortisol. Elevated cortisol burns through magnesium. Low magnesium destroys GABA production. Without GABA your nervous system has no brake pedal

I didn't have an anger problem. I had no neurological ability to regulate a stress response because my inhibitory system was running on empty

Nobody tested this. Not my therapist. Not my doctor. Not the psychiatrist who suggested I "might benefit from an SSRI to take the edge off"

3 practitioners. 2 years. $12,000+. Zero blood draws

Fixed my gut. Restored magnesium and zinc. GABA came back online. The rage disappeared in weeks. Not managed. Not suppressed. Gone. Because the thing causing it was gone

I think about those 2 years of therapy sessions analyzing my childhood while my body was on fire and nobody thought to check. Talking about my father while my cortisol was 3x baseline because my intestinal lining had holes in it

The mental health industry is billing $280 billion a year in the US. Almost none of it starts with blood work

If you're doing everything right psychologically and still can't control your reactions, you might not have a mind problem.

You might have an inflammation problem that no one in the room is trained to find

Our refrigerator just died... again. This is our second refrigerator in ten years. It was a Whirlpool, a "plain Jane" model with no bells, no whistles, and no fancy screens. We bought it for its simplicity, thinking it would be the one thing in our house that just worked.

It lasted five years and one month, exactly thirty days past the warranty.

The repairman’s verdict? A dead compressor. But the real diagnosis... it was Built to Break.

Under the guise of "green" regulations and "energy efficiency," we’ve traded tanks that lasted thirty years for plastic-heavy shells that barely last five.

We are forced to pay a premium for "high-efficiency" tech that saves ten cents a month on electricity, only to be told to throw the whole $1,500 + unit into a landfill when a single internal component fails.

It’s a racket. The government mandates the specs, the manufacturers cut the quality, and the consumer is left holding a bag of spoiled milk. We don’t own appliances anymore; we just lease them from the scrap yard.

The Minnesota Attorney General refused to prosecute Somali fraudsters who stole $250 million, and then received campaign contributions from them 10 days later

That’s called BRIBERY

He needs to be indicted

We observe that the Tim Walz administration capitalizing on the hurt and pain our communities are facing. Using our tears and the hardship we are all suffering - regardless of our political beliefs, race, religion, socioeconomic status, Tim Walz is portraying himself as a hero.

Tim Walz is no hero - in any stretch of the definition. Tim Walz is a self-serving narcissist who is trying to distract the public from fraud caused by his disastrous administration. And this political theater comes at the expense of our lives.

Do not let Tim Walz fool you into believing he cares about our community. We are under no illusions that our communities will ever get justice in Minnesota as the poisonous influence of Tim Walz has tainted our judicial system.

We only hope that government can be cleaned up and those who committed and enabled fraud will be held accountable.

And we hope divisiveness and violence inflicted on our communities will stop.

We’d like to warn the public about Peggy Flanagan. This woman is incompetent, an expert on fakery, and malicious. Peggy has never supported Minnesotans. Peggy claims to be of American Indian heritage but nobody in our DHS American Indian teams has ever found her helpful. Many community members have similarly said that she hasn’t helped our diverse communities - at all. Moreover, Peggy has attacked anyone who dares to challenge her desperation for power. When state staff came to the governors office in good faith that we could partner on stopping fraud, Peggy attacked us. On April 12, 2024, Peggy Flanagan went on a public stage to denounce whistleblowers as losers in their mom’s basements.

Is this someone who has Minnesotan’s best interest at heart? Does Peggy Flanagan have what it takes to represent diverse communities when her own community barely knows of her and nor has she even reached out to them? Does Peggy Flanagan even have a real political platform or is she just appealing to uninformed folks who will vote for a democrat - at all costs.

What we can say is that Peggy Flanagan is not suitable for a political career. Peggy is an activist with no experience in representing the best interests of a community. Peggy’s paid family medical leave is going to a program that brings economic devastation to Minnesota yet she will use that as a crutch to get her into senate.

Peggy Flanagan’s retaliation against whistleblowers is the worst of all. Peggy will silence you and no matter your ethics, she will retaliate.

Peggy Flanagan is a dangerous conman.

Silver prices have now tripled over the past year, their biggest YoY gain since the Hunt brothers attempted to corner the market in early 1980.

"Silver Thursday" (March 27, 1980) would soon follow, with Silver prices falling over 50% in a single trading day. By 1982, Silver prices had declined 90% from their peak.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! A Somali mob just RUSHED ICE agents in St. Cloud, MN

These guys are WAY outnumbered

They need NATIONAL GUARD support. The terrorists CANNOT WIN.

[U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement @ICEgov]

ICE arrests criminal illegal aliens.

Communities get safer.

Governor Walz and Mayor Frey’s radical sanctuary agenda is doing the opposite — putting Minnesotans at risk.

Here are some of the monsters Walz, Frey and rioters are defending in MN:

renee good is the epitome of the modern-day liberal white woman

>37 years old
>lost custody of her two older children
>fled to canada after trump won in ‘24
>career as a “poet”

>moved to minneapolis from canada to fight for the “rights” of illegal aliens
>enrolled the only child she has custody of in Southside Family Charter School, who’s mission is to “put social justice first, and prioritize involving kids in political and social action”

>through her involvement with the school, joined “ICE Watch”, a national coalition of “activists” dedicated to disrupting ICE raids
>lost her life while obstructing ICE, as a result of assaulting federal law enforcement with a deadly weapon (her car)

if we want to be a serious country with law & order, anything short of outright abolishment of the 19th amendment would be a grave half-measure

this is the face of chaos, instability, dangerous empathy for criminals, and reckless disregard for the law

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Fed-up American runs into leftist protestors on his way to pick up his child, HE IS DONE WITH THE BS

"You're obstructing traffic, IDIOTS! That's against the law! I'm about to start throwing FISTS!" *Starts pushing*

"I have a daughter!"

"GET AWAY FROM MY CAR! GTFO of the way!" 🔥

Very acceptable reaction.
