“Your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals…” — Dr. Allan Greenberg, MD A physician says what most WON'T say out loud: “I can honestly say that unless you are in a serious accident, your best chance of living to a ripe old age is to avoid doctors and hospitals and learn nutrition, herbal medicine and other forms of natural medicine…” Modern medicine is useful for emergencies and trauma, but for chronic illness it fails us. **Nutrition IS medicine.** Healing the root cause — not just masking symptoms — is the real path to lasting health. Pharmaceutical drugs are toxic. They rarely cure anyone. Instead, they manage symptoms while causing terrible adverse side effects, new diseases, and lifelong dependency. It’s time to take control of your own health.

Your dad is going to ask you the same question about a thousand times. "Wanna throw the ball around?" At 6, you'll grab your glove before he finishes the sentence. At 9, you'll keep him out there until the streetlights come on. At 13, you'll say "maybe later." At 16, you'll say "Dad. Seriously?" One evening he'll ask, you'll say no, and he'll just nod and set his glove back on the shelf in the garage. He won't ask again. Neither of you will notice that was the last time. A writer named Tim Urban once did the math on his own life. By the time he finished high school, he had already used up 93% of all the in-person time he would ever get with his parents. Most of us land somewhere close to that. What's left is a few Thanksgivings. Some Christmases. Maybe a hospital waiting room. Then one day you're 40, cleaning out that garage, and the glove is still on the shelf. Leather gone stiff. A ball still tucked in the pocket. He kept it ready all those years. Just in case you said yes. If he's still here, you still have some of that last 7%. Go find two gloves. He'll pretend his arm is fine.

People, I honestly don't care if you call me heartless. Call me whatever makes you happy. But when I see posts about someone suffering a stroke, a pulmonary embolism (PE), a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or a devastating cancer ( Turbo) diagnosis, my immediate thought is whether they took that experimental COVID shot that they knew nothing about. That's honestly where my mind goes, and I'm not going to pretend otherwise. Years ago, people were proudly posting that they had taken a shot they knew nothing about, displaying their COVID passports as though it was something to celebrate. But now, suddenly, asking questions is considered inappropriate? Why? We were expected to accept their decisions without question, yet we're not allowed to ask questions now? And let me make one thing perfectly clear. I will never let you forget how you treated those of us who chose to remain unvaccinated. The insults, the names you called us, the medical decisions you mocked, and the horrible things some of you wished upon us unvaccinated simply because we exercised our right to make our own medical decisions. You don't get to erase that history or pretend it never happened. I'm going to keep asking questions. If people want honest conversations, then start being honest. Stand up and be transparent about whether you took the shot. We cannot have meaningful discussions about adverse effects if people are unwilling to have open conversations. I'm not interested in being politically correct or protecting anyone's feelings at the expense of asking questions.

Fantastic piece
Having spent a long time watching Elon Musk, and having talked with him, I believe I understand what he understood before almost anyone else. And it's something every one of us needs to understand now. Western civilization is not one civilization among many. It is the one that gave the world freedom of thought, modern science and the dignity of the individual. And it is under attack. Not by peoples, but by ideologies that want it dead. If it dies, the world will not become more just. It will become poorer, more brutal and darker. For everyone, including those who hate it. Why? Because civilizations are not interchangeable. We were told that any culture could be blended with any other, like mixing colors, and that the result would always be harmonious. It isn't true. A society where women are equal to men cannot coexist without friction with a worldview in which a woman's testimony is worth half a man's. A society where you can criticize God, change your religion or have none cannot absorb, without fracturing, a worldview in which apostasy is paid for with your life. Every people has its own genius and moves at its own pace. But not all values are equal, and you cannot build a nation on laws that contradict each other. Saying so is not racist. Racism is about blood. I am talking about laws, customs and values. And those values belong to no race: a Japanese, a Senegalese or an Iranian can make them his own, and millions have. That is exactly why they are worth defending. Let's remember where they come from. It all begins in Greece. In Athens, for the first time, men decide that truth does not descend from a throne but is sought through reason, and that a city governs itself through debate. Socrates chooses death rather than give up thinking freely. At Salamis, a handful of free cities stops the greatest empire in the world. Then comes Rome. Rome invents law that binds everyone, the citizen who holds rights, the Republic. And one immense idea: you can become Roman without being born Roman. You become Roman by adopting its laws. Christianity adds the most revolutionary idea in history: every human being, slave and emperor alike, has infinite worth. Then France. The cathedrals, those ships of stone our ancestors built over centuries for descendants they would never see. Descartes, Pascal, Voltaire. The Declaration of the Rights of Man. And Napoleon, who gives France the Civil Code, the lycées, and one simple principle: careers open to talent. Murat, the son of an innkeeper, ends up a Marshal of the Empire and King of Naples. The Civil Code spreads across much of Europe and still shapes the law of dozens of countries today. And this civilization goes on to abolish slavery, which had been practiced on every continent since the dawn of time, to push back the plague, smallpox and the night itself, and to set foot on the Moon. Peoples of the West, be proud of this history. Proud does not mean blind. Every civilization has committed crimes: conquest, slavery, war. Ours is the one that went furthest in examining its own faults, to the point of abolishing what it had once practiced. This capacity to question itself is its greatest strength. And that is exactly the strength now being turned against it. Because for decades, this magnificent system has been getting hacked. Not by an army. By an alliance of two forces that have nothing in common except one enemy: us. The first is communism. It lost the economic war, lost the Cold War, lost history's verdict with its tens of millions of dead. But it never lost the universities. It survived by changing costumes: class struggle became the struggle of the oppressed against their oppressors, and the West was declared guilty of everything. It taught our children to be ashamed of their ancestors, their borders and their culture. It is the root cause, because before you can bring down a civilization, you have to take away its will to defend itself. The second is political Islam. I am not talking about Muslims, many of whom came here precisely to escape this ideology and are its first victims. I am talking about a political project that wants to place religious law above civil law. It has no doubts. It feels no shame. It rushes into the void the first one dug. One disarms. The other advances. And let no one on the left believe they will stay in control. History has already staged this play. In 1978, Michel Foucault was enthusing over the Iranian revolution. Iran's communist party, the Tudeh, backed Khomeini and called on Iranians to vote for his Islamic constitution. By 1983, its leaders had been arrested, the party banned, and its chiefs paraded on television to confess their “crimes.” In 1988, thousands of political prisoners were executed, communist activists among them. The second always ends up devouring the first. Useful idiots are only useful for a while. So here is my call to every Western people. To the French, the Italians, the Poles, the Germans, the Spanish, the Americans, to all of you. We are at a turning point. What we do in the next ten years will decide what our grandchildren are allowed to say, believe, write and love. I am not asking you to die for the West. I am asking you for something harder: to live for it. Learn its history and pass it on. Have children. Speak without fear, even when they call you every name in the book. Vote, get involved, run for office. Build companies, schools, factories, families. Refuse the shame they are trying to inject into you. And stop surrendering anything that makes us who we are: freedom of thought, equality before the law, the dignity of every person. The historian Arnold Toynbee understood it: civilizations are not murdered, they commit suicide. And those who think they can let the West fall without paying the price should remember the Iranian communists. They helped tear down what they despised, and then they were next. The Greeks at Salamis were outnumbered. They won because they knew what they were defending. We are the heirs of Athens, Rome, Notre-Dame and the Civil Code. It is no accident that the rockets that will carry humanity to Mars are being built in a free civilization. It is time to prove ourselves worthy of what we were given. The West is worth defending. And no one will defend it for us.

I asked 50 Japanese people, ages 9 to 91, one question. "What do you admire most about Americans?" Here are the top answers. 10. "They clap when the plane lands." (Office worker, 34) 9. "They say 'I love you' every time they hang up the phone. Even men. Even to other men." (Taxi driver, 61) 8. "A stranger told me she liked my shoes. Then she just walked away. She didn't want anything." (High school girl, 16) 7. "They thank the bus driver when they get off." (Bus driver, 55. He got emotional saying this.) 6. "They tell you their whole life story in the grocery line. I know about one man's divorce, his boat, and his knee surgery. We knew each other for four minutes." (My mother, 64) 5. "They stand for the anthem at a children's baseball game." (Little League coach, 47) 4. "When they lose, they shake hands and say 'good game.' And they mean it." (Sota, 12) 3. "They fly the flag on a regular Tuesday. No holiday. Just because." (Nurse, 28) 2. "They help a stranger push a car out of the snow, then leave without saying their name." (My cousin's husband, 52, who got stuck in Colorado once) And the number one answer came from the oldest person I asked. My grandfather. He's 91. He thought about it for a long time. Then he said: "They still believe tomorrow will be better than today." I asked him what he meant. "In 1946, we had nothing," he said. "The American soldiers I met were young and far from home. But they acted like the future was coming, and it was going to be good. After a while, we started to believe them." I asked him if he thought Americans still believe that. He nodded slowly. "Tell them," he said, "not to stop."

🚨INCREDIBLE: A 3-year-old was kidnapped from a public library. 48 minutes later, he was on a city bus crying next to his kidnapper — and no one knew. No one except the bus driver. In Milpitas, California, driver Tim Watson had heard the police alert earlier that day: Missing 3-year-old boy, city-wide search underway. Then a man boarded his bus with a small boy who wouldn't stop crying. Something felt wrong. Tim looked closer. The face. The clothes. The description. It was him. But he couldn't scream. He couldn't confront him. One wrong move and that little boy could be in even more danger. So Tim came up with a plan. He got on the intercom and told passengers: "Someone reported a missing green backpack, I'm going to take a quick look." He started walking the aisle, pretending to search for a backpack — but he was really getting a close look at the child. It was the missing boy. Tim quietly radioed dispatch, alerted police, and then did the hardest thing of all — he sat back down, stayed calm, and kept driving like nothing happened, with the alleged kidnapper sitting just feet behind him. He kept that bus rolling until police intercepted it. Officers swarmed the bus, arrested the man, and scooped that terrified little boy into safety. That child is home with his family tonight because one bus driver trusted his gut and stayed cool under pressure. He's not a cop. He's not a hero who was supposed to be there. He's Tim Watson — a bus driver who saw a child in danger and refused to look away. This man deserves to be recognized.🙏

Oklahoma St @ Wisconsin Thoughts: - No Clary, Bogavac, Fallah, Ragland. No Garlock for Wisconsin - You could see the coaches working on stuff in this game. Both teams giving zone looks in the last few minutes of the 1H. Both teams full court pressing etc. - Nolan Winter looks All Big Ten 1st team worthy, best athlete on the team. - Eian Elmer reminds me of Bonzi Wells. It’s the shooting plus his ability to go play bully ball when you need a bucket. Maybe it’s also the head band and the frame. He’s a great pick up bc he replaces some of the scoring but without sacrificing anything defensively. - Tough to gauge OK St without 3 starters, Walker played well and certainly looks like he can be instant offense off the bench to spell Clary. Quick and nice pull up game, hit several middys, doing his best Kemba impersonation. - Foxwell is the best PG at creating for others that the Badgers have had since Hepburn. Super quick, loved seeing the hesy cross step back, cross again, just an example of the nice bag he has. Boyd and Blackwell were great but much better at creating for themselves and scoring. They have surrounded him with shooters and said “This is your playground, go to work.” But you can’t leave him open either bc he’s deadly accurate. Did not expect him to be this good if I’m being honest. - Natt struggled offensively but started getting to the line better in 2H and got into the paint to start creating for others. Former NAIA POTY’s translate really well and I expect him to figure things out and be a really good piece for this team. Turnovers and Shooting %s will improve. Rebounds really well for a guard, and some of Wisconsin’s spacing with how many shooters they have is just really difficult to guard. - Onuetu is a solid rim protecting anchor that this defense hasn’t had in recent years. Think the defense will be improved this year w/ him and Elmer. He’s not the best finisher on offense but he can crash the offensive glass and rim run. Will make life hard in the paint for opponents on D. Doesn’t have much of a low post game, so you are relying on his verticality to help on offense. - Halaifonua continues his rise as a strong big man. Could push Fallah to start. Him and Walker carried the team today when they couldn’t find any easy buckets. He’s big strong physical, with some nice low post moves and can finish. Nice stroke for a big. - Rapp and Onuetu will form a good duo. Rapp on the floor when you need to space the floor and need more offense, doesn't move feet quickly enough if he is pulled out on the perimeter defensively. - Allmond looked like he struggled with Wisconsin’s size, they really frustrated him. I still believe he can be one of the top freshman but at least from this small one game sample size, he was struggling to get himself open, they were daring him to put the ball on the floor. Rought night but Freshman can look terrible and then superb from one game to the next. - Carrington always such a solid producer. Can he pick up some of the scoring gone from B&B leaving. More minutes is better for him and the team. - Burks like Carrington, we know what he can do. First game action I think after being eligible, so will take him a few to get back into game shape. But we know he’s a guy that can go off in a game and get hot. Looked like he didn’t have his legs under him tonight. - Kinziger looks improved. Think he is ready to help, and this team is going to hit 3s and he can help there too, but it’s more about giving Wisconsin a backup PG who can organize and things don’t go off the rails, which was an issue last year when Boyd came out. - Felesi is going to push for a starting role pretty quickly. Feel pretty good about this back court when at full strength. He brings a good slashing ability and finished strong against contact. And he was doing it while that side of the floor felt condensed. They really need Bogavac’s shooting to space the floor out and give these slashers more room to operate. - Autry another 3 point specialist. They must have like 45 of these guys. - I’m not sure why the coaches love Janicki so much, every time I watch him he’s just out there. Must be a culture guy. - Ball looks like he has ability, the game looks too fast for him right now though. Once it slows down he’s going to be a pretty good piece. Will it be this year? Or will it be next year? One to watch and see how he improves with more game reps. He can do more with the ball than a lot of the other players, so an early rise could lift this team’s ceiling. - Robinson just looks like he’s trying to do way too much out there. Didn’t have any fear and was getting lots of shots up. Maybe those will fall? But the shot diet was poor, timing of when he shot the ball in the offense was poor decision making. Things that are coachable. On the plus side he was able to get his own shot. - Crotty looked like he did not belong out there on either end of the floor. - Montonati only played 3 minutes but had a strong take. Let’s give him some more minutes and see what he can do. Some guys are better when the lights are on. Thought he deserved more of Crotty/Robinson’s minutes in this game. Hate to admit when I’m wrong, especially before the season even starts, but I think Wisconsin will be better than I originally thought. I’m very interested to see this style against other teams. When they are shooting well they could blitz teams. On the flip side, I think there will be games where they could get suffocated by a more athletic squad. Last year Boyd and Blackwell could take over in those spots. That bucket getter type, when everything breaks down, is the one thing I think they are missing this year. Oklahoma st had a tough preseason. Loss to New Mexico, Loss to Wisconsin. Important to note they haven’t been at full strength for any of these games which makes it tough to tell if their issues defensively are real or not. Also it’s already really hard to get in a rhythm in preseason anyway, makes it even more impossible when you have different guys in and out of the lineup every night. I’m not making excuses for them, just saying I would take their preseason with a grain of salt. One thing that does concern me though is the amount of shooters on the team. Really need Bogavac, the other shooters seem like they are too much of a defensive liability to play often (Robinson, Crotty, Grbovic)

Dana White: "I Will NEVER Talk To A Doctor About My General Health Ever Again." "Never again, none of them know what they're talking about. They're all full of sh*t. All they know is to put you on pills & put you on medicine. That's all they know." In 1910, The Rockefeller Foundation, along with the Carnegie Foundation funded the Flexner Report. The goal was to shift all medical schools & all teaching hospitals away from natural traditional root cause medicine & shift towards petroleum based medications & allopathic medicine for profit. During this time, therapies such as homeopathy, herbal medicine, essential oils, chiropractic & naturopathy were commonplace. The 1910 Flexner report concluded that these natural healing modalities were “unscientific quackery.” This report also concluded that there were too many medical schools as well as too many doctors in America & called for the standardization of medical education. Of course, this was with underlying intentions being that the American Medical Association would be the only entity that could approve medical school licensure in America. Rockefeller worked with Andrew Carnegie to provide funding for medical schools across the country. This was with the condition, of course, that they only taught allopathic medicine & they were offered grants of significant proportions in order to adhere to these conditions. Through these grants, primarily fueled by Rockefeller’s petroleum monopoly, helped to systematically remove any mention of plant-based natural treatments along with teachings on nutrition & diet from medical education curricula. Supported by Rockefeller’s influence on the media of the time, homeopathic & natural medicines were quickly discredited & demonized through targeted media campaigns.

🚨 BREAKING: Enes Kanter Freedom just delivered the most BRUTAL, personal, and unforgettable takedown of America’s loudest socialists — live on national TV 🔥 “If you want your first-class ticket, I’ll buy it. If you hate America so much… LEAVE.” ✈️🇺🇸 He didn’t stop there. He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud: “They sell FAKE promises. I LIVED under a regime that the DSA wants America to become. They take your freedoms… and then you have no voice left.” 💔 His family is still trapped in Turkey. He hasn’t seen them in 14 years. Then he issued the challenge no one on the left will ever accept: “I really want to offer these DSA leaders a first-class ticket to Iran, China, Venezuela, Cuba, or Russia. They have NO IDEA how good we have it in this country. How blessed we are.” Notice something? The loudest socialists in America almost never come from countries that actually lived through real tyranny. And not one of them will ever take that ticket. People who escaped authoritarian hell appreciate this country 10x more than the activists trying to tear it down from the inside. ENES KANTER FREEDOM is a LEGEND. Share this. 🇺🇸💪

Thank you for stating the obvious Adam!
Adam Carolla tells The Atlantic to “F*CK OFF” and “EAT SH*T” for demanding you forgive the people who tried to destroy your life over a COVID shot. He shows their previous headlines on the screen, and it’s not pretty. CAROLLA: “Of course all the people who wanted everyone drawn and quartered for not getting vaccinated or wearing a mask want a f*cking amnesty.” “Suck my dick, f*ck off, Atlantic, and eat sh*t, because you guys all deserve whatever the f*ck you’re getting.” “BUT THE MAIN THING YOU’RE GETTING IS NO ONE’S GOING TO LISTEN TO YOU EVER AGAIN.” THE ATLANTIC THEN: “The Anti-Vaccine Right Brought Human Sacrifice to America” “Unvaccinated People Need to Bear the Burden” “Vaccine Refusers Don’t Get to Dictate Terms Anymore” “Some Americans No Longer Believe in the Common Good” THE ATLANTIC, YEARS LATER: “Let’s Declare a Pandemic Amnesty” “We need to forgive one another for what we did and said when we were in the dark about COVID.” First of all, forgiveness comes AFTER you apologize. Your headline should be “We’re sorry. We acted like monsters.” Not “we were in the dark about COVID” and didn’t know any better. You didn’t know any better because you CENSORED people like us. Screw off Atlantic. No Amnesty.

Well thought out and presented
This paper answers why confident idiots run the world. Cornell University published a psychological paper that explains every terrible boss, every loud influencer, and every broken corporate hierarchy. It’s called “Unskilled and Unaware of It.” they tested participants across logic, grammar, and humor to measure the gap between actual performance and self-perception. And the results are wild. participants scoring in the bottom 12th percentile consistently believed they were operating in the 62nd percentile. they were not lying. they were literally incapable of recognizing their own incompetence. the paper revealed a brutal paradox: the exact skills required to master a domain are the exact same skills required to accurately evaluate your own competence in that domain. if you lack the skill, you inherently lack the cognitive capacity to realize you are failing. this creates a dangerous systemic loop. the incompetent are blessed with absolute, blinding certainty. their brain protects them from their own ignorance, allowing them to speak first, demand authority, and never second-guess their decisions. meanwhile, the actual experts suffer the exact inverse. top performers in the study consistently underestimated their rank. because a task was easy for them, they falsely assumed it was easy for everyone else. they hesitate. they obsess over nuance. they assume they have nothing unique to add. we are biologically wired to confuse confidence with competence. the loudest person in the room gets promoted, gets funded, and gets the microphone, not because they know what they are doing, but because they are physically incapable of seeing what they don't. the only defense mechanism is building systems that stop rewarding absolute certainty and start demanding proof of work.

Nick Saban to @PatMcAfeeShow: "I talked to a college coach this week who has a bye week next week, and all he's doing is meeting with agents. It's the middle of the season! Guys are worried about how much playing time am I getting, what I'm going to do if I don't get enough playing time. I'm playing well, so how much money am I going to make next year there or someplace else?" "The reason we're seeing a lot of these inconsistencies in performance is people are struggling to sustain their intensity week in and week out. Maybe it's people are more conditionally committed to their team because the circumstances we're putting these players in. ... If you can't sustain intensity, you can't sustain the level of performance you want to sustain, you can't play smart, you can't play with intelligence. It all starts with your mental energy, and that starts with your commitment to your team and to your development as a player."
