Just found a new wake up song.

Last year, a guy I know told me that the Chinese government had been caught red-handed executing political prisoners and selling their organs to desperate buyers all over the world. He told me this had been going on for a long time and that the world wasn’t paying attention. Actually, that’s not entirely true. @JanJekielek isn’t just a guy I know. Jan is the senior editor of The @EpochTimes, a well-respected writer, and the host of a show called American Thought Leaders, which I’ve been honored to appear on several times. So, when he told me with a straight face that the Chinese government was up to its communist armpits in a 9-billion-dollar organ harvesting scheme, I couldn’t dismiss him as a crackpot. And when he told me that dozens of hospitals had been built adjacent to dozens of prisons for the express purpose of expediting the transplant procedure and that most of the prisoners being executed and violated were members of the Falun Gong, a peaceful group of dissidents whose only crime was a failure to fall in line with the Communist Party, I couldn’t dismiss him as a tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist. Instead, I researched his claims as best I could, talked to a few contacts in the state department, and concluded that Jan might very well be on to something. I then invited him on the podcast to discuss the matter in detail in a conversation that went viral. Shortly thereafter, Jan got a book deal, and that book, Killed to Order, just came out this week. Well, I’ve read it, and it’s fantastic. Fantastic and horrifying. Horrifying, and I’m sorry to say, true. Here’s what I wrote when Jan asked me for a blurb. “A lot of what you’re about to read I heard directly from Jan, when he first appeared on my podcast to talk about the multi-billion-dollar human organ trade in China. I had no idea that our conversation would go viral, ruffle so many feathers, or lead to this extraordinary book. Spoiler alert: as you read, you will likely experience the same mix of incredulity, horror, and disbelief that I did when Jan explained to me precisely how and why this atrocity has continued to unfold since 2000. But with every chapter—every page, really—your skepticism will be challenged with some very uncomfortable facts, and you will be confronted with a simple choice: to accept the claims herein as true or not. Frankly, I wish the evidence were flimsy or circumstantial or refutable. I’d prefer to live in a world where human beings are not wrongly imprisoned and routinely harvested for their parts. But I’m afraid that’s not the case. The evidence in this book is compelling and credible, and the evidence demands a verdict, no matter how uncomfortable or upsetting the truth might turn out to be. Such are the hazards of pulling one’s head from the sand and having a look around at a world in desperate need of improvement.” Obviously, I recommend his book, which you can order here. bit.ly/4bDsyJo Obviously, I invited him back on the podcast, which you can listen to here. bit.ly/TWIHI475JanJek… Obviously, I think the subject matter is important and worth your time. I hope you’ll share it.

John Deere, right to repair, and corporate control over farm equipment have become major flashpoints for American farmers trying to stay afloat. In this clip, Zach Lahn breaks down how repair restrictions, Big Ag consolidation, and rising pressure on family farms are reshaping the future of agriculture in America. The conversation explores why so many farmers feel like they no longer control what they own and what that means for the next generation. This is a hard look at John Deere, family farms, right to repair, and the growing war over America’s food supply. @ZachLahn

High Point’s win over Wisconsin called by Student Radio. This is why we love March

@GavinNewsom @dpakman Part of me wants to ignore your posts so that I don’t in any way help your algorithm and exposure, but nah, I actually believe that people are smart enough to see through your nonsense and the sooner you are out of our lives the better.

Donald Trump has wrecked our economy. We used to be the envy of the world. Now, our gas prices are soaring. Inflation is up. Unemployment is sky rocketing. And he’s busy in court fighting to TAX the American people.

This was a good piece. Young people I talk to seem to be susceptible to this as propaganda talking points. Older people too. It can be hard to get a conversation back on track when people lead with these questions.

@LinaSeiche This was a good piece.

“Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen.“

@rustyrockets Don’t let this be outlawed as hate speech.

Hallelujah

Our enemy has studied and found what they considered weakness. Democracy can be influenced and descend into mob rule influenced by ideological “marketing”. Christianity requires acceptance of our sin and flaws therefore we must accept we are not capable of salvation without Jesus. Think about what strategy you would attack this type of person/ position with.

@ClownWorld There’s legitimately as much of a chance of independent sweeps in 2028, if I was a betting man

Markets now show a 40% chance of a Democratic sweep in 2028. Do you buy it?

@pmarca Don’t forget to maintain the physical machinery you’re attached to.

My information consumption is now 1/4 X, 1/4 podcast interviews of the smartest practitioners, 1/4 talking to the leading AI models, and 1/4 reading old books. The opportunity cost of anything else is far too high, and rising daily.

YouTube is putting fake news videos that are obviously politically motivated in its “Top News” suggestions very regularly now. 2 (at least) out of first 5 videos for me this morning. I have been a search engine marketing professional for 15 years and it’s generally a little more difficult to spam things to the top…. Make your own conclusions

I did. I voted for wars with foreign countries. I knew Trump would do this. Look through my past comments and posts and you will see that. You know why I voted for war? Because I am not a child that thinks if we just mind our own business, our enemies will leave us alone. That is not how world power works at all. China has been working to destroy us for decades and they will not stop just because Trump is President. They will only be stopped by brute force. Look at that map. That was China’s goal. Trump knows it and he is kicking the shit out of all their allies that have been helping them to achieve it. Welcome to the grown up world where other nations don’t give a shit what you like or don’t like. They do what they want regardless of your feelings or how it affects our nation, our communities or our families. In the real world you either kick ass or get your ass kicked. I for one, am tired of us getting our asses kicked and I am very happy to see the U.S. kicking ass again. God bless America, God bless our troops and God bless President Donald J Trump.

It takes a lot to shock Joe Rogan like that. Definitely worth a watch

@TheAKGuy Let’s go Brandon has two meanings now. Congrats.

I appreciate Tony Gonzales for making the appropriate decision. I look forward to being the voice of TX23 that our district deserves. From the border, to oil theft, water rights, data centers, and many other issues. It’s an honor to be chosen and together we will make Texas proud.

Live now in Los Angeles, California talking about my new book with @jonfavs and @TVietor08. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

You’d be hard-pressed to find a better role model than Tim Tebow

@RobSchneider Seems Islam is like McDonald’s. Everything the same everywhere?

I would say THIS is NOT an improvement..

@NateFriedman97 @LaynaLazar Good job Nate. There’s a bunch of shady all over the place.

The Iran protests in New York City are bought and paid for, here it all is with proof. Watch how they load the signs into the car and at 3:10 the leader confronts me and I expose her salary. She celebrated october 7th, and got paid to do it. Best of luck @LaynaLazar.

@TheOfficerTatum @MartinSedra_ The actual creator of our existence and how to personally know Him through Jesus. This is good news.

🚨WATCH: I interviewed @MartinSedra_ and he shared how he’s personally witnessing Christ move across the Middle East in ways the media will never report. 50,000 mosques shut down in Iran in one year because people stopped going — and Iran now has the fastest-growing church in the world under an Islamic dictatorship. From Indonesia seeing 100,000+ Muslims come to Christ annually to reports of Gazans having dreams of Jesus… God is moving right now. Click the link below to watch the full interview 👇🏿

@ChrisKindaReads I really liked it. Hope you enjoy!

next read, starting this before the movie comes out
