@NikolaMaresova1@MarioNawfal My dad is type 2 and has been taking this for years I’ve never seen him in such physical decline he recently stopped taking it because he feels it has made him feel weaker than ever but he has lost weight and kept his diabetes under control with it at-least.
Donald Trump clearly hasn't learned from his Covid era mistakes. He fails to recognize how ineffective his warp speed vaccine is as the ninth shot is being recommended to seniors. Even more troubling is the documented harm being caused by the shot to so many innocent children and adults who are suffering myocarditis, pericarditis and brain inflammation.
This has been confirmed by a CDC funded study of 99 million people. Instead of bragging about its speedy approval, we should be honestly and transparently debating the abundant evidence that this vaccine may have caused more harm than good. In fact, I look forward to debating both Trump and Biden on September 16th in San Marcos, TX.

Just finished this book - Bad Therapy by @AbigailShrier
This is one of the most eye-opening books I've ever read. It's a must read for any parent, any teacher, and should be required reading for any school administrator as well.
The book dives into trying to figure out why kids are having so many mental health problems, when there are so many resources devoted to improving mental health outcomes.
Anxiety, depression, suicide, etc are all higher than they've ever been with kids, even though their lives are arguably better than ever before. It just doesn't make sense.
A few key takeaways from the book:
A constant attention on how kids are "feeling" or "thinking" is causing negative outcomes.
Constantly ruminating on your emotions and how you feel negatively impacts your mental health. If all you do is focus on your emotions, you are destined to be anxious or depressed.
We incessantly ask kids how they're feeling, if they're happy, how their mental health is, etc, and this is creating kids who think they're fragile instead of resilient.
Trying to solve every problem for kids has caused a generation who can't do anything for themselves.
We (Gen X) were told to "suck it up" or "you'll live" or "rub some dirt on it" all the time. Many of us came to the conclusion this is "bad parenting" because our feelings were neglected, and we vowed not to do this to our own children.
Because of that, kids immediately over-dramatize everything that happens to them, making mountains out of molehills, and thinking the world must revolve around their emotions and feelings.
You develop confidence and strong mental health by doing things, not by thinking or via therapy.
You can't think your way out of anxiety. You don't gain confidence by analysis of your thoughts or mental health issues.
You gain confidence and eliminate anxiety by doing gradually more difficult tasks, excelling at them, and realizing you are a competent, capable person.
The non-stop attention therapy gives to these small, common emotions we all feel blows them out of proportion to their seriousness (not talking about genuine disorders here, just normal anxieties that millions of people go to therapy to try to avoid).
One of the best ways to decrease your happiness is to chase it.
Our society constantly tells kids they should be "happy" and asks them if they are.
Happiness isn't a state you should be in 24/7. That's not realistic. Joy and bliss aren't permanent states - they are fleeting.
Contentment, stillness, and being even-keeled are much better goals to aim for mentally.
The happiest, most well adjusted kids come from families with loving parents that have strict rules for the household.
This one really set off the confirmation bias in me... I feel really blessed we have 2 well adjusted middle school kids who do great in school, are very respectful and well mannered, and we barely even need to parent them.
But for years, we were very strict with them. Bedtimes, family rules, how we do things, etc. The in-laws and lots of friends thought we were totalitarian.
In reality, we just had high standards. And it's really paying off right now. I found it really interesting that strict rules equals happy kids. Makes sense, though, as kids need to know what their boundaries are.
Constantly surveying school-age kids about their mental health causes more issues than it solves.
Mental health resources is big money. Districts need to validate all the resources allocated towards mental health, and they often do that via surveys.
Asking kids non-stop questions like:
- Have you thought about self harm?
- Have you thought about suicide?
- Have you been so anxious you can't get out of bed?
Etc, etc puts into their heads the idea that themselves, or many of their peers are broken and cannot function properly in the real world.
It normalizes situations that would be incredibly rare at any other time in history.
There's a lot of other takeaways, too, but I'll stop there.
It's a fantastic book. Go pick it up and read it. This isn't an affiliate thing or a promotion thing at all. I just really enjoyed it, and it will further shape the way I parent moving forward.
This is what college really feels like. Sure you learn but it just feels like you are in a system that makes you just go through the motions. It feels like it lacks care it’s just treated like another way to make money another job. But it’s more important than that. Needs work!
🔥🚨BREAKING: This disturbing footage of men who kidnapped their ‘opps’ dog and threatening to kill it is going viral. When you niggas do shit like this it makes the entire fucking world hate us.
We do shit like this on Black history month but be quick to march when a white person kills us? Nobody is worse to us than us.
Propaganda aside we have TO FIX THIS SHIT SOMETIMES WE FUCKING ACT LIKE ANIMALS. IT MAKES IT HARD FOR ANYONE LIKE ME THAT TRIES TO DEFEND US WE HAVE TO FUCKING STOP!
MUST WATCH: A Boston man gives the police a piece of his mind after the Gov turned a recreational center in a predominantly black area into a facility to house illegals.
Democrats are taking away opportunities from black people and prioritizing illegals!
This is Jose Menjivar. 150 Democrats voted against a bill to automatically deport him.
He is an illegal with four deportations and three DUI convictions.
Last month during his 3rd DUI incident, he kiIIed Melissa Powell (46) and her teenage son Riordan (16) in Colorado. He got off without jail 4 days before the crash.
This is William "Lilly" Whitworth
William was just sentenced to 6 years for plotting several mass shootngs at local schools and churches in 2023
William is transgender, owns a copy of Communist Manifesto, and wrote up manifestos
You didn't hear a word about this story because it didn't fit the narrative
Joe Biden is campaigning in South Carolina right now. Tomorrow is the first day of Black History Month. Let’s reminisce on everything he’s done for Black Americans:
- Authored the 1994 crime bill which led to the mass incarceration of black people
- Said if you don’t vote for him, “then you ain’t black”
- Extended penalties for people under 21 charged with selling marijuana
- Endorsed segregationist senators
- Opposed busing because he didn’t want his kids to grow up in a “racial jungle”
@charlieg67 @The_Blck_Swan @zhao_dashuai@GregAbbott_TX 2) maybe we just need more resources but as of right now it feels like he is just putting on a show.
@charlieg67 @The_Blck_Swan @zhao_dashuai@GregAbbott_TX Ya I think only the extreme truly want to succeed it would be dumb in a time like this. But I actually don’t trust Abbott and the border if you drive down to the border right now it’s still super open. At key points sure he is doing stuff but a mile down the road it’s open still.
@charlieg67 @The_Blck_Swan @zhao_dashuai@GregAbbott_TX Yeah it would be stupid to divide in a time like this. It’s a lot of frustration over here more than anything but I wouldn’t doubt that people here would flock to fight for Texas if it came to it. But I think the bigger problem is it seems like they want us divided.
@charlieg67 @The_Blck_Swan @zhao_dashuai@GregAbbott_TX I said that’s all I hear about from the average Texan not Abbott. But it’s all talk and jokes mainly some are serious. But most people here are upset with the US gov more than The Texas gov.
