Breaking: Your smart TV takes a screenshot of your screen twice every second and sells what it sees.

It is called ACR, and it has been running since you set the TV up.

Texas already sued over it. Here is how to turn it off in under 2 minutes:

I hadn't slept a full night in 3 months.

Melatonin. Magnesium. Meditation apps. Nothing worked.

A friend pushed me to see a sleep doctor. I expected blood tests, a sleep study, maybe a CPAP referral.

He didn't even look at me.

He looked at my iPhone and said:

"There are 3 settings turned ON right now keeping your brain awake at 3 AM. 9 out of 10 patients I see have the same 3 toggles."

Me: "So my own iPhone is the thing keeping me awake?"

He didn't answer.

Here's everything he showed me (save this, your sleep depends on it):

An American had been paying $45 cash for her medication.

She finally gets “great insurance.”
The price jumps to $300 — for the exact SAME generic drug.

The pharmacist checks again: without insurance, it’s still $45.

Insurance didn’t lower the cost. It exposed the SCAM.

You do not want your daughter discovering, in adulthood, the stark difference in the capacity for force between the two sexes.

The consequences can be dangerous.

Let her learn that reality early through her brothers, cousins, and the roughness of ordinary childhood interactions.

Let her discover that men are not women, and that the physical world does not negotiate with feelings.

Because a woman who grows up unaware of these differences is more likely to place herself in situations where she assumes she possesses options she does not.

And that is a dangerous miscalculation.

Far better that she learns the limits of force in a controlled environment than discover them for the first time in a hostile one.

For some lessons are educational in childhood but catastrophic in adulthood.

Goodluck. Or, congratulations.

"We consider the CHOLESTEROL LEVEL Of 350 Perfectly Fine."
~Barbara O'Neill

"Now, doctors want you DOWN to 150"...every time the numbers are lowered, MILLIONS More people 'need' drugs.

That's NOT health care, that's greedy MARKETING. Statins are a $22 BILLION dollar industry.

The hypothesis that high total cholesterol causes CVD was introduced in the 1960s by the authors of the Framingham Heart Study.

However, in their 30-year follow-up study published in 1987, the authors reported that ‘For each 1 mg/dl drop in total cholesterol per year, there was an 11% increase in coronary & total mortality’.

Statins cause a litany of side effects that will cause sickness & a low quality of life. Statins do not lower Cardiovascular Risk or Disease, Stroke, Heart Attack or Mortality. Statins cause more death.

Chronic Conditions Caused By Statin Drugs:
Liver Inflammation & Damage
New Onset Type 2 Diabetes
Heart Failure
Vertigo & Dizziness
Cognitive Impairment
ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease)
Aphasia
Dementia & Alzheimer's Disease
Cancer
Pancreas Inflammation
Parkinson's Disease
Muscle Tearing & Pain (Rhabdomyolysis)
Fatigue & Weakness
Neuropathy
Hormone Deficiency
Brain Damage
MS Multiple Sclerosis
Clinical Depression

🚨Karmelo Anthony is GUILTY.🚨

As a teacher of 10 years and a Black Christian man, I’m removing ALL racial bias and calling it straight:
He brought a weapon to school — that alone is an automatic crime and grounds for expulsion. Then he put himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and chose to stab another kid instead of walking away.
This is an open-and-shut case. Without the politics and racial tension being forced into it, everyone would see the facts clearly: Karmelo Anthony killed that boy.

I pray for the victim and his family. Justice must prevail over narrative.

Dr Eric Nepute was sued by the US Gov't for over $500 BILLION, for helping patients & talking about prevention with Vitamin D, Quercetin & Zinc.

Dr Nepute treated over 11,000 patients during Covid - not one died - yet the Biden Administration went after him because they didn’t want prevention or early treatment.

They wanted people funneled into hospitals, given Remdesivir & put on ventilators.

The truth about the medical scams during the pandemic have come out...yet, Dr Nepute is still deplatformed, demonetized, banned, lost millions in legal fees & had to start his life over...all while Fauci, Gates & others increased their wealth by billions with no persecution.

More human beings have died of dysentery and the diarrhoeal diseases beside it than of almost any other cause in the history of the species.

Not war. Not famine. Not the great named plagues that get the documentaries. A bacterial infection of the gut that turns the bowels to bloody water and empties a person out until there is nothing left to give.

It is the quiet killer running underneath all of history. In nearly every war ever fought, until distressingly recently, disease killed more soldiers than the enemy did, and the disease, more often than not, was dysentery. Armies dug their latrines upstream of their own drinking water and then wondered why they were dying. It killed in the camps, the prisons, the slums, and above all the nurseries. For most of human history, the child who reached the age of five had already beaten the thing most likely to kill it, and the thing was, overwhelmingly, the runs.

Then, over the last hundred and fifty years or so, we beat it. Not with diet. With plumbing.

Clean water. Sewers that ran away from the wells instead of into them. Refrigeration. Soap. Antibiotics for when all of that failed, and vaccines for the other killers sitting alongside it. This is where the famous rise in life expectancy actually comes from. Not from anyone eating more sensibly. From engineering, sanitation, and medicine dragging the infant mortality rate down through the floor, so that the average lifespan, which had always been held low by all those dead children, could finally climb.

Here is the part worth sitting with.

Of all the things that added decades to human life over the last century, the modern diet is not one of them. The dietary advice that arrived in the 1970s did not extend anyone's life. It turned up after the hard work was already done, and took the credit anyway. Over the very same decades that sanitation and antibiotics were adding years, the food was quietly taking them back, in the form of an explosion of obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disease that our great-grandparents, for all their dysentery, simply did not have.

We solved the thing that killed people fast. We are still living, every single day, with the thing that kills people slowly.

Progress rarely happens on all fronts at once. We got very good indeed at not dying young of infection, and we have spent that hard-won breathing room inventing an entirely new way to be unwell.

The plumbing saved you. The food guidelines just stood next to it in the photograph.

High cortisol is the real reason you can't lose belly fat.

It also tanks your libido, breaks insulin, and locks visceral fat onto your gut for life.

Here are 8 ways to drop cortisol and finally cut the gut:

1. Lift heavy 3x/week.

Kobe Bryant reveals exactly why so many athletes go broke a few years after retirement

"Once you retire you don't have that source of income coming in. Even if you save over a 15-year career, if your spending habits remain the same, eventually that well is going to run dry"

"For us athletes the retirement age is 32, 34, if you're lucky 37 like myself. What comes next?"

"The question needs to be, what is my passion. Not where I can create the most value or generate the most revenue, but what is my next passion"

"When you find that next passion, then everything else will make sense"

"But that's the hardest part for us"

"We have to constantly learn. Our mantra is value growth, because to grow you have to constantly learn, constantly move, constantly improve"

[Dr. Taylor Burrowes @taylorburrowes]

Every man I’ve worked with who’s been through a bad marriage says the same thing, almost word for word:

“The signs were there. I just didn’t want to see them.”

That’s what happens when you skip vetting and let attraction do the thinking for you. By the time the evidence is undeniable, you’ve already built a life on top of it: a mortgage, a child, a decade.

Vetting isn’t something you do over dinner. It’s what you observe over time, in the moments a person wasn’t planning to be watched, under stress, under pressure, under conditions that don’t flatter them. Anyone can perform compatibility on a good day. You’re looking for who they are on the bad ones.

The cost of doing that work is months of patience. And the cost of skipping it is a lifetime of damage control.

666 Mafia came out of Memphis.

Gangsta Boo called herself the “Devil’s Daughter.” She confessed to practicing witchcraft and being turned out to satanism by 666 Mafia.

So many rappers have confessed to satanism but just mention God and people call him a fairy tale in the sky. Mention devil worship and barely a shrug.
