The United States Army printed a nutritional warning in 1859 that would earn you a failing grade from a modern dietitian.
Captain Randolph Marcy was a career frontier officer, and the War Department asked him to write The Prairie Traveler, the handbook that guided thousands of settlers west. Into it he put, from hard personal experience, what happens to fit healthy men reduced to lean meat and nothing else.
He described men subsisting on lean horse, colt and mule, eating four, five, six times a day, stomachs packed full, and growing weaker and more wasted with every one of them. The appetite was never satisfied. A miserable diarrhoea set in. In one account he recorded, the men lamented that a little bear’s oil would have made the lean meat bearable, but no bear was anywhere to be found. Fit men, he noted, could be genuinely incapacitated on lean meat alone in under a fortnight.
His practical advice to the traveller was therefore direct. Get fat into the diet, or the meat, however much of it you eat, will not keep you alive. The frontier men around him already knew it in their bones, pairing every lean cut with marrow or rendered fat and treating pure lean flesh as a slow way to die.
So an army captain wrote the fat requirement into an official government manual in 1859, on pain of watching your men waste away if you ignored it.
The food pyramid unwrote it a century later, told you to trim the fat and grill the lean breast, and called the result heart-healthy. Marcy could have told them how that ends. He watched it happen, and he wrote it down.

A Colorado teacher REFUSED to allow a 13-year-old student to present her Pro-Life poem for the class because it’s "offensive."
MILLIONS have now listened to her poem and her story.
If you haven't heard it yet, @StudentsforLife made an amazing video of her reading it!

23.5% of all children born in America in 2025 were from foreign mothers.
They would all be American citizens now.
No questions asked.
Forever.
Get this.
We have flown a regular-sized American flag on the front of our house every day of the 24 years we've lived here.
We have newer neighbors that I would guess are in their early thirties. They have a five-year-old son.
My hubby is friendly with them.
Yesterday, the husband came over and had the nerve to ask my hubby to remove the flag because it, “triggers his son”.
Two things.
First, how does a five-year-old become “triggered” by the flag of his birth? Can you imagine what the parents are drilling into this poor kid?!
Second, the complete NERVE of this guy to ask.
Needless to say, today my husband replaced our regular-sized flag with a HUGE one.
Hey ESPN,
Any reason you post about Muslims praying but you won’t post a SINGLE time about the USMNT praying after every match?
I’m sure it’s not because of an agenda or anything... Probably just a mistake, right?
American patriot in a Jacksonville Walmart gets overwhelmed when he hears Islamic chanting blasting through the speakers days before July 4th.
This is how you push back. Film it, speak up, and complain to management.
Don't stay silent!
A 37-weeks pregnant woman from Nigeria was reportedly trying to fly from the UK to the United States when a UK border officer named Sarah intervened. The goal was reportedly so the baby could be born on US soil and automatically receive American citizenship under the 14th Amendment (unlike in the UK, where birth alone doesn't grant citizenship unless a parent is British or settled).
Customs officers can deny entry to pregnant foreign nationals if they suspect the trip is solely for birth tourism or if there are concerns about medical costs.
🚨 JUST IN: Sheridan Gorman's angel mom just dropped this raw truth nuke straight to Democrat members of Congress
"I don't understand why it's only the REPUBLICAN side that cares about our American children!"
"Basically what you just did, what you said was, 'I'm so sorry for your loss. I have a daughter too. I have a son. I feel your pain...'"
"You DON'T feel my pain. Because the next words out of your mouth were, 'BUT.'"
"There's no 'BUT' when your child is in a coffin!"
"And I need you to understand that. And if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here, I'm going to buy you a bench. I'm going to buy. You can put that on the record. I'm going to buy Congress the bench. And they can come and sit and hold my hand and look me in the eye and explain to me why illegal immigrants are more important than my daughter. I really want to know what because I don't understand!"
The author of the 14th Amendment:
"This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens..."
The SCOTUS didn't just go against President Trump, they went against the Constitution.

Demonize opposition
Provide free housing
Provide government benefits
Give illegal aliens Driver’s Licenses
Automate voter registration
Mail every voter a mail-in ballot

Clarence Thomas, in his two page concurring opinion disallowing boys in girls sports, says gender dysphoria is a mental illness and you are either a boy or a girl, that trans doesn’t exist at all. He’s right. We need more people willing to speak this truth.
🚨 Today the California Senate Committee held a hearing on the “Stop Nick Shirley Act,” known as AB 2624. This bill will criminalize and punish anyone from looking into fraud inside immigrant communities in California.
This bill was created only after I exposed billions of dollars in fraud throughout immigrant communities in the US. “Immigration support services” have become a billion dollar industry in California, and now that the fraud has been exposed, they are trying to criminalize those who look into the fraud.
The bill has passed through the California Assembly and is set to pass through the Senate and then to Governor Newsom’s desk. This bill was created by the Attorney Generals WIFE and will allow him to go after citizens if they film nonprofits and “immigration support services providers”.
Welcome to Califraudia.
'I RESPECTFULLY DISSENT': Justice Clarence Thomas issued a scathing dissent after the Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship, arguing the majority diminished the value of American citizenship.
A child born in America to a family that has been in America for 10 generations has the same citizenship as a child born in America to a family that snuck over the border 10 minutes ago.
Insane.
Iceland is a windswept volcanic rock where almost nothing grows, and it produces some of the healthiest, longest-lived people on the planet. Have a look at what is actually on the plate.
Lamb: grazed on wild highland pasture, eaten in everything from soup to smoked legs hung in the rafters. Sheep have outnumbered people on this island for most of its history.
Fish: cod, haddock, and whatever the boats brought in. A people that lived and died by the sea for a thousand years, and still eats close to 90kg of fish per person a year, the most of any country on Earth.
Skyr: the thick cultured dairy they have eaten since the Vikings, protein-dense and ancient.
Butter: on everything, without apology.
Eggs: a staple.
Fermented shark and soured ram: the genuinely feral end of the menu, preserved through winters that wanted them dead.
What is barely there: fresh fruit and vegetables, for the obvious reason that the climate spent most of history refusing to grow them.
So here is a population that historically could not have gone plant-based if it had wanted to, surviving on lamb, fish, and fermented dairy through centuries of darkness. The result: a life expectancy near 83, Icelandic men at times the longest-lived in all of Europe, and the lowest infant mortality on the continent.
The vegetables were never the Icelandic secret, because for most of its history Iceland barely had any. The lamb and the cod carried a nation through the dark. They still do.
Nobody ate three square meals a day until a factory whistle told them to.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are a shift pattern dressed up as tradition. The rigid three-meal day took shape in the Industrial Revolution, when workers pouring into the cities needed feeding before the shift, on the midday break, and after clocking off. The Royal Navy ran the same timetable at sea. Then the cereal makers and the advertisers finished the job last century and sold the nation the line that breakfast was the most important meal of the day.
Go back further and the whole structure dissolves. The Romans thought it healthiest to eat one proper meal a day. Medieval Europeans and the Norse got by on two. Hunter-gatherers ate when there was food and went without when there was not, sometimes for days at a stretch. Feast, then fast. That rhythm is written into us far deeper than any timetable, because a body shaped by lean spells learned to run smoothly on its own fat between meals.
Two meals is the natural home for most people, and one trick makes it effortless. Stack each meal with fatty animal food. Eggs and butter, a ribeye, a pan of mince, oily fish, cheese. Hunger stops knocking at eleven and again at three, because protein and fat fill you and hold you. You stop grazing because there is nothing left to chase.
The snacking, the little and often, the breakfast forced down with no appetite, all of it came from a factory timetable and an advertising budget.
Eat twice. Eat richly. Then let your body do the thing it was built for, running calm and fuelled on good food and its own reserves until the next proper meal.
The fatty animal foods that the Mediterranean diet quietly forgot.
- Lamb and mutton, slow roasted until the fat ran.
- Goat, the everyday meat of every hillside from Crete to Calabria.
- Liver, kidney, heart, sweetbreads, eaten first and never wasted.
- Lardo, cured pork back fat, sliced thin on warm bread.
- Strutto, pork dripping, the cooking fat of southern Italy.
- Pecorino and feta, full fat sheep and goat cheese, eaten daily.
- Sardines and anchovies, whole, bones and heads and all.
- Bottarga, cured fish roe, essentially a block of pure fat and protein.
- Egg yolks the colour of a sunset.
- Marrow, scooped hot from the bone.
That is what the people on those coasts actually ate.
Then Ancel Keys turned up.
He surveyed Crete partly during Lent, forty eight days where the islanders eat no meat, no cheese, no eggs at all.
He surveyed southern Italy in the wreckage of the Second World War, a population too poor for meat by circumstance, not wisdom.
He wrote it up as the native diet of the region.
The world built a pyramid out of a fast and a famine.
The lamb fat and the fish heads never made the poster.
