August 21, 1883. Just after six in the evening, the sky over Rochester, Minnesota turns the color of a bruise. Twenty minutes later, a third of the town is gone. Thirty seven people are dead. More than two hundred are bleeding in the streets.
Rochester had no hospital. Not one.
So a convent school on the edge of town emptied out. The nuns walked into the wreckage in full habits, and a woman named Mother Alfred Moes, an immigrant from Luxembourg who had come to America with almost nothing, sent word to the only doctor in town who could handle that many wounded.
His name was William Worrall Mayo. He was 64, an English country doctor, a hard skeptic on the subject of religion.
The sisters took over Rommel's dance hall and turned it into a hospital overnight. None of them had ever been trained in nursing. They learned it standing up, with Mayo giving orders and the injured laid out on the floorboards.
When the last patient was gone, Mother Alfred went to see him.
She told him Rochester needed a real hospital. A permanent one. She said she had seen it, a great hospital rising out of the cornfields on the west edge of town, and that she wanted him to run it.
Mayo told her the truth. A building like that would cost $40,000. Well over a million in today's money. He said no congregation of school teaching nuns could possibly raise it.
She did not argue with him. She simply told him that if he would take charge of the hospital, the sisters would take charge of paying for it.
Then she went out and did it.
For six years, her sisters taught school and handed over their wages. Every dollar. She bought nine acres of farmland. She hired the builders. She oversaw the plans herself, and when the money ran short, she found more.
Saint Marys Hospital opened on September 30, 1889. Twenty seven beds. Thirteen sisters, none of them nurses by training. Dr. Mayo, now 70, walked in as chief of staff with his two sons, Will and Charlie, beside him.
Those two boys built their surgical practice inside her building. Patients started arriving from Chicago, then from every state, then from overseas. The brothers formalized the partnership in 1919 and gave it their family name.
Mayo Clinic. Today it treats more than a million patients a year and is ranked the best hospital in the United States.
Mother Alfred Moes died on December 18, 1899, ten years after the doors opened. She never saw what it became.
The Mayo brothers always said it plainly. Their father did not want the hospital. The nun did. She built it, and then she handed them the keys.
Millions of Americans have made the drive to Rochester with someone they love in the passenger seat. Almost none of them know that the whole thing started with a 54-year-old woman standing in tornado wreckage, refusing to accept a no.

I am currently working on replacing my Medicare Advantage plan which was discontinued by Blue Cross. The new plan plus Medicare Part B will cost me what a car payment would be for Medicare supplementary insurance
This bastard ruined our health care
🚨 IT'S OFFICIAL: President Trump is offering a $1 MILLION REWARD for ANY American who reports election fraud and it results in a conviction
ANOTHER great idea from Trump!
"I'm also going to be issuing a million dollar bonus or reward for anybody that reports voter fraud — leading to the arrest and conviction of somebody." 🔥
The White House also confirmed the $1,000,000 bounty applies to BOTH past elections and the upcoming 2026 midterms
Every single leftist ballot harvester and crooked operative now has to look over their shoulder knowing an American can get $1M for turning them in! LFG!
Democrats will complain about this.
Round 1:
🏆Bolsonaro: 56.1 million votes
Lula: 53.9 million votes
Round 2:
🏆Lula: 64.1 million votes (+10.2M)
Bolsonaro: 59.8 million votes (+3.7M)
To give you an idea of how unlikely this is: all the eliminated candidates from round 1 got 9.33M VOTES COMBINED
Imagine the amount of division that is being caused by Islam in the United States when the Muslim population is at 1%. What do you think will happen when it is at 5%? 10%?
Can’t believe the media is still pretending DataRepublican didn’t just drop the receipts. Former USAID people, DSA-linked groups, and the rest openly talking about red lines, declaring the federal government illegitimate, provisional governors, and rewriting the system with the same color-revolution playbook they’ve used overseas.
Everyone on X has seen it. The big outlets are just choosing not to.
That’s not journalism,that’s complicity.
It is a matter of historical fact that the two groups most prone to murdering or enslaving Christians are Communism and Islam.
The Democrat Party is now under the control of a marriage of convenience between literal Communists and Islamic Jihadists. This unholy alliance is popularly referred to as the "Red/Green Alliance."
If you are an American Christian, know this: the Red/Green Alliance wants you dead, or enslaved, or bankrupted, or persecuted so badly that you will not be allowed to live freely in American society.
They hide behind the lies of benevolence of seemingly harmless masks like Talarico.
Those masks will fall as soon as they achieve power.
There should not be a single adult Christian staying home for the midterms. Christians must vote like their life depends on it, because it does.
The optimist in me will pray nothing like this ever happens.
The realist in me says if the government is preparing for this possibility, I as the head of my household need to prepare for this possibility.
Minnesota has USPS offices set up inside mosques. Those locations process mail-in ballots.
These should be shut down immediately. There is supposed to be a separation of church and state in this country.
One of the biggest election scandals in history has been the Democrats’ installation of a fake Dan Sullivan (not the US Senator) to deceive voters in Alaska. The corrupt media of course is not outraged at the lawless election manipulation but the effort to protect the lawful rights of Alaska voters. If a fake Republican Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed was ticket splitting with the real Muslim Brotherhood Abdul Mohammed El-Sayed the media would be apoplectic and the courts would fix the ballot. It cannot be defended which is why the media refuses to discuss what the lawsuit is actually about.
The Department of Justice does not seek to stop any ballot from being cast or to stop the certification of Alaska's election. This litigation seeks to ensure that after Alaskans cast their ballots, they are preserved in a manner so that only Alaska's governing officials have the information necessary to make a determination as to whether Alaskan voters were confused or mislead.
The lawsuit was written by Justice Department attorneys and the Department did not coordinate with any campaign or candidate, but rather relied solely on federal law.
Robert Reich in 2025: Trump is a fascist dictator for even suggesting that a company be taken over by the government and for telling a CEO what to do.
Robert Reich in 2026: SpaceX and Starlink must be taken over by the government.
Small man, giant fraud.
86 ARRESTED. 766 TRUCKS PULLED OFF THE ROAD. Nearly $1 MILLION in stolen cargo recovered. All in 3 DAYS across 4 STATES.
Illinois. Indiana. Iowa. Ohio.
Operation Highway Shield just exposed what's really happening on our highways.
This wasn't a routine DOT check. They targeted driver qualifications, CDL fraud, and unsafe operations — and what they found should alarm every driver and every family on the road.
The results:
51 people detained for being in the country illegally.
21 of them were behind the wheel with non-domiciled CDLs issued by California and New York.
36 drivers failed basic English proficiency requirements.
766 drivers and vehicles placed out-of-service.
86 operators arrested — for offenses including road rage and domestic violence.
Nearly $1M in stolen freight recovered.
In THREE DAYS.
Now think about this:
When a driver gets arrested mid-run hauling 80,000 lbs, what happens to that truck? That load? Who's paying to recover it? Who's liable if something goes wrong?
Because here's the question nobody wants to answer:
Somebody hired them.
Somebody handed them the keys.
Somebody was supposed to verify they were qualified, legal, and safe to operate that rig.
Pulling dangerous drivers off the road matters. But does accountability end at the steering wheel?
After 86 arrests and 766 out-of-service orders — should trucking companies face real consequences for putting unqualified drivers on the highway, or is it all on the driver?

Had a patient recently come see me with Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer, at the young age of 37.
The majority of his treatment and surgeries were completed at MD Anderson in Houston, often ranked among the top Cancer hospitals in the world.
He sought me because his oncologist would not prescribe any ‘non-traditional’ medications like ivermectin, Fenbendazole, or Mebendazole.
Before you jump to conclusions and start rambling about anti-parasitic, let’s talk about how each of these works in the body.
Ivermectin works in cancer on WNT/TCF and PAK1→Akt/mTOR inhibition, mitochondrial respiratory suppression, chloride-driven hyperpolarization, and P2X4/P2X7-linked immunogenic cell death.
Fenbendazole works for cancer by impacting mitochondrial translocation of p53 and inhibition of glucose uptake, GLUT transporter expression, and hexokinase II, on top of moderate microtubule destabilization.
Mebendazole's main mechanisms regarding cancer are still β-tubulin binding, VEGFR2 inhibition, and Hedgehog inhibition. This in turn leads to reduced glutamine markers which have downstream effects.
[Notice I didn’t say anything about parasites there.
Feel free to show this tweet to someone who doesn’t know any better.]
The oncologist actually supported their use but likely due to ‘politics’ couldn’t personally prescribe them.
So instead of 1 doctor managing all of his cancer care, he has like 5.
Unfortunate but becoming increasingly common.
At the end of the care you have to be AN ADVOCATE for yourself.
If you don’t like the answers you are getting (in medicine), continue to seek out providers until you do.
