Friends, today is the Holy Father’s birthday! Please join me in praying for Pope Leo. May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and strengthen him as our trusted shepherd.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Lord of Life, You have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We see with pain so many brothers and sisters who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. Let’s #PrayTogether at https://t.co/VVI6MfRjM5

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Do not be afraid to sow without immediately seeing the fruits. The sowing belongs to you; the growth belongs to God. No gesture carried out in the name of Christ is useless.

There is no world where I don’t fight to ban Flock cameras in Illinois.

I don’t care what good they claim to do. None of it outweighs the government tracking private citizens without a warrant.

Our constitutional rights are not negotiable.

Ban Flock.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

The government doesn’t need to know everywhere you’ve been.

It doesn’t need a database of your movements.

It needs to leave decent, law-abiding people alone.

Deflock Illinois.

[Rep. Scott Perry @RepScottPerry]

Flock cameras now log approximately 20 BILLION vehicle scans every month. That’s not targeted policing of bad guys. That’s mass collection and surveillance - not safety.

STOP THE FLOCK.

[Darren Bailey @DarrenBaileyIL]

I’m Darren Bailey.

I think your property taxes should go down, your gas should cost less, the government shouldn’t track your every move, and taxpayers shouldn’t subsidize Big Tech.

I don’t think that’s asking too much.

@DrJackKruse Happy Birthday!!!!

Italian artist Sergio Furnari unveils a beautiful new statue honoring Charlie Kirk, which is set to be on display in NYC's Times Square on the 1st anniversary of his assassination.

Amazing 🇺🇸

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Requiring an ID and proof of citizenship to vote is common sense.

It’s time to pass the SAVE America Act. RT if you agree.

@PeteHegseth @dbongino That’s a great pic!

[U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops @USCCB]

Today the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, joined by parishes and faithful across the country. The act of consecration takes place as part of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
Join the livestream this afternoon at 4pm ET / 3pm CT / 2pm MT / 1pm PT. Watch along, pray with us, and entrust our nation to the love of Christ's Sacred Heart.

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Next week I’m holding a hearing with a whistleblower who will testify publicly about the COVID coverup.

Mark your calendars: Wednesday, May 13 at 10am.

The truth is coming.

@DarrenBaileyIL I paid $4.79 a gallon for 87 this morning in central Illinois. It’s ridiculous!!!

Dr. Alexis Cowan on Deuterium: How One Simple Water Hack Could Reverse Mitochondrial Damage, Cancer, and Chronic Disease

Sweat is deuterium enriched, so it helps your body to deplete deuterium. So, just briefly, deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen. The amount of deuterium in your drinking water varies depending on what latitude you live at.

High latitudes, lower deuterium. Equatorial latitudes, higher deuterium. Deuterium is enriched in plant foods, roots and fruits, starches, and is depleted in animal foods. At more northern latitudes, we’re really only meant to receive deuterium during the part of the year where we can grow and eat plants.

Of course, now in the modern environment, we have access to any food at any time of year, and so a lot of people, especially if you’re eating processed foods, are eating deuterium bombs, and then they’re never sweating, they’re never getting out into sunlight to help them remove that deuterium, and deuterium clogs and gums up mitochondria.

So, if deuterium levels get too high in the tissue, that creates mitochondrial dysfunction, which then begets more deuterium overload and more inflammation and more disease. So on the converse to that, deuterium depletion is being used in the treatment of cancer and diabetes right now, but there’s a large scope for other diseases as well, to actually reverse some of the root causes of the disease at the mitochondrial level.

And so that’s why if people have heard of deuterium-depleted water, it’s something that is leveraged within these clinical trials, for example, to help ameliorate these two disease types. And for people who are interested in that, I’ll just make one brief note that the concentration of deuterium in the water is important. So you don’t want to just drink straight deuterium-depleted water because the deuterium in the bloodstream actually plays an important role.

The blood is the most enriched source of deuterium in the body. The tissues have the least. So wherever there’s mitochondria, the deuterium goes away from that ideally.

And so it’s concentrated in the blood where red blood cells have no mitochondria, so they don’t have to deal with this issue.

But what you’re doing is you’re pulling water out of the blood volume, and because that’s deuterium-rich water, what you’re effectively doing is removing the deuterium-enriched water from the body, and then what you have to do in order to establish equilibrium is to pull deuterium out of the tissues to reestablish the right concentration of deuterium in the blood. So in effect, you’re depleting deuterium from your tissues when you sweat.

And similarly with the drinking water, the drinking water is directly in homeostasis with your blood volume, and so if you’re drinking deuterium-depleted water, and the ideal range is between 105 and 120 parts per million, that’s going to very slightly reduce the blood deuterium levels, which then results in the deuterium being pulled out of the tissue to restore the roughly 150 parts per million concentration in the bloodstream. So those are a couple different ways. Obviously, when you’re sweating, you’re releasing deuterium. There’s also some evidence that when you’re getting exposed to full-spectrum sunlight, it also helps to remove deuterium from the water in the body, as well. And so there’s just a couple things.

There also makes sense too because when you’re in an environment, like let’s say it’s summertime and there’s more plant foods available, there’s more deuterium in those foods. You’re eating that, but the body has the ability to handle that deuterium load better because the sunlight quality is better. Versus in the wintertime when there’s no plant foods available and you’re meant to be eating animal fats and proteins, which are low deuterium foods, that helps your mitochondria work better in the absence of full spectrum, like UV light and more intense, longer days...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

If the two disciples of Emmaus recognize Jesus when He breaks the bread for them, we too should recognize Him in this way. Not just in the Eucharist, but wherever there is a life that becomes broken bread, wherever someone makes a compassionate gift of themselves, like He did. With the grace of the Risen Christ, we can become this broken bread that transforms reality. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 24:13–35) #ApostolicJourney #Angola

@DerrickEvans4WV No kidding.

[Mary Talley Bowden MD @MaryBowdenMD]

The risks are real, and the data is clear. It’s time for the government to pull these shots off the market. We cannot afford to play Russian roulette with our children’s health any longer.

[Secretary Marco Rubio @SecRubio]

Masoumeh Ebtekar - also known as "Screaming Mary" - was the spokeswoman for the Islamic terrorists who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days - subjecting them to beatings, starvation, and mock executions.

In 2014, the Obama Administration granted visas to her son and his family to enter the United States. In June 2016, the Obama Administration gave them lawful permanent resident status via the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program.

This week, I terminated their lawful permanent resident status and today, Seyed Eissa Hashemi, Maryam Tahmasebi, and their son are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement pending their removal from our country.

Her family should never have been allowed to benefit from the extraordinary privilege of living in our country.

America can never become home for anti-American terrorists or their families - and under the Trump Administration, it never will.
