@MaryBowdenMD Yes, doing jobs Americans won’t do. (Not).

25% of current US doctors are not Americans. 25% were trained in foreign countries. US graduates 28,000+ medical students per year. US offers 44,000+ residency spots per year. Every year 1000+ US medical students don't get a residency spot. Foreign medical students take these spots plus the 16,000+ residency spots we can't fill with Americans.

@lecternleader I’d hit that.

Undefeated.

@wilsonhlthcoach It was always the bun.

The only people in my family in the past 30 years who had heart attacks were all on statins and had normal cholesterol levels. Most of the patients I've had with heart disease and atherosclerosis have normal cholesterol levels and many were already on a statin. We've always been told to fear cholesterol, take a statin, avoid red meat and saturated fats. My experiences don't fit the "cholesterol causes heart disease" narrative.

@carranza_tovar @aviationbrk @xime_garmendia Not an accident - an excellent and quick response to smoke in the cabin. Passengers didn’t listen to the briefing or safety card and didn’t know what to do once they got out.

@aviationbrk @xime_garmendia Que pasa en USA hay demasiados accidentes de todo tipo.

🚨 NEW: An American Eagle CRJ-900 with a congressman on board made an emergency landing and evacuated on the tarmac on Friday after smoke was reported in the cabin moments before landing American Eagle flight 5318, operated by PSA Airlines, was flying to Kansas City from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport when the smoke was reported, the FAA said.

@__whataburger @aviationbrk 😂

@aviationbrk Who cares if a congressman was onboard ?

@FE2ESQ @aviationbrk Ha! “FOLLOW ME!!!”

@aviationbrk Glad the pilot stayed on board until all the PAX got off. 😶

@TrumpsHurricane Salad is your friend, Jerry.

Democrat Rep Jerry Nadler is retiring from Congress and will be out of a job soon. What advice do you have for him ??

@nicknorwitz @UniofOxford So cool! Nice work.

The Cholesterol Science "Behind the Scenes" 👀 If you think this case report "Seven Years of 700 Cholesterol Without Coronary Atherosclerosis" is popping off on social media, you have no idea what’s happening behind the scenes. I just got back from a conference at @UniofOxford where the response to our cholesterol research was true curiosity, engagement, and excitement. I’ve also had multiple academics, cardiologists, lipidologists, and researchers express interest in learning more, collaborating, and investing their intellectual energy into Lean Mass Hyper-Responder research. Pictured is one potential slide for an upcoming academic lecture. Now, yes, there’s still plenty of tribalism, defensiveness, and closed-mindedness on social media. That will continue. But for those of you watching this space with bona fide curiosity, let me just say this: This corner of cholesterol research — ignored for far too long — is finally starting to receive serious attention. And honestly? This is just the warm-up.

@RepJackKimble Read the room dumbass.

Just a friendly warning. We don’t even make $200k per year in Congress despite working nearly 140 days. If we aren’t properly compensated, a lot of us will go to the private sector and you will be left with some real idiots in Congress.

@lecternleader Aw hell why stop there (we need him)

Ron DeSantis for Florida Governor 2026.

@Cangelosifan @tk97813 @AGJamesUthmeier You’re an idiot.

@tk97813 @AGJamesUthmeier You don’t have an absolute right to discharge a firearm. Discharging it and possessing it is very different.

I don’t think so. Not on my watch. If anyone's right to carry under Florida law is denied, contact my office. There will be serious consequences, including personal liability for public officials, for violating any Floridian’s Constitutional rights.

@Clydeuhscope @JamesMelville Delusional? Never heard of “public servants”? That’s what us old folks used to call gov’t workers.

@JamesMelville "They serve us" is one of the most delusional things a person can say. Have you ever forced a cop to do as you say, against his wishes, while armed? Just for one simple example.

Here’s an idea… Rather than the government mandating digital ID on all of us, we should be mandating digital ID on the government to monitor exactly where they spend our tax money and the meetings they have with corporate lobbyists. We don’t serve them. They serve us.

@JamesMelville Plus there’s more of us than them and that scares them.

What Doctor do you trust more than Fauci?

@SamaHoole As you point out, the “cure” was the therapy until insulin was monetized. This sort of thing is endemic in medicine.

Insulin is a miracle for Type 1 and a trap for Type 2. The same drug that saves one patient slowly destroys the other, because the two conditions are not the same problem. 90% of diabetics are Type 2. Almost every diabetic you have ever met is metabolically curable. They have been told the opposite. Type 1 diabetics cannot make insulin. They will die without injections. The 1921 discovery by Banting and Best was one of the most important medical advances in history. Children who would have starved within a year now live ordinary lifespans. Type 2 diabetics make plenty of insulin. Their problem is the opposite. A lifetime of refined carbs and seed oils has overloaded the system. The body keeps producing insulin, the tissues respond less, and the pancreas eventually burns out. Before insulin existed, Type 2 was treated with diet, and it worked. After insulin existed, Type 2 was treated by pumping more of it into a body already drowning in the stuff. A disease that used to be cured in the kitchen became a disease that could only be slowed in the clinic. Doses go up. Complications accumulate. The patient deteriorates on a schedule. A lot of people get very rich off that schedule. Roy Taylor at Newcastle and David Unwin in Southport have shown that Type 2 reverses in most cases when carbs come out of the diet. Unwin's GP practice reports 46% drug-free remission at 23 months. For patients caught within a year of diagnosis, 77%. The cost is zero. The side effects are weight loss, lower blood pressure, and better cholesterol. This is in the British Medical Journal. It is not standard NHS practice. For Type 1, the principle still applies. Richard Bernstein, a Type 1 himself since 1946, spent seventy years showing that cutting carbs lets Type 1 diabetics slash their insulin doses, hit near-normal blood sugar, and dodge the long-term damage of conventional carb-counting. Insulin still essential. Doses a fraction of standard. Diet belongs in the front line of treatment for both. The framing of pills versus food has cost a generation of diabetics their feet, their kidneys, and their lives. It has made a smaller number of people extraordinarily wealthy. Banting wanted insulin to be free. He did not want it to replace the diet. The medication has its place. The kitchen has a bigger one.

@catturd2 He was great in Deliverance though.

He’s transformation into a lizard is complete.

@RepMichaelCloud Are you saying they lied? I’m shocked, SHOCKED I tell ya!

Under Biden, ATF agents were showing up at gun owners’ doors listing what firearms they allegedly had inside. If OBRIS is only searchable by serial number, then how did that happen?

@MattWalshBlog As Glen Beck says, the minds behind this are focused on winning the AI race for fame without regard for harms AI can actually do to us and society.

Big Tech companies are sprinting forward, building data centers as fast as they can, sometimes using eminent domain to seize the land by force, making their AI more and more powerful, expanding the technology at lightening speed with no guardrails of any kind at all. Yet none of these tech gurus or any of their apologists have even attempted to explain what exactly all of the millions of people who lose their jobs, and the increasing numbers who lose their homes, all sacrificed on the AI altar, are supposed to do. How does society support millions of unemployed and displaced people? What becomes of a society where algorithms and machines do everything, and a few people become trillionaires while millions more lose everything? There is no answer to any of this. They aren’t even attempting to answer it. Instead we’re simply told that China exists and we have to “beat them” in some unspecified way, in order to achieve some unspecified goal. We’re going to obliterate entire industries, entire categories of jobs all at once, and the only justification anyone can give is “China.” It’s madness.

@Marion436842126 What a wonderful summary of where to put the effort; last week I had my lowest fasting insulin and Homa-ir EVER! Another tip I heard from “Dr. Boz” is to finish eating for the day earlier on the clock when possible.

12/12 improves and fatty liver can reverse. The bigger picture is this: We should stop blaming lipids for damage being driven upstream by chronically elevated insulin and metabolic dysfunction. Fix the metabolism, and many downstream markers begin improving together.

1/12 For decades we were taught to fear cholesterol while largely ignoring the hormone sitting upstream driving much of the dysfunction: INSULIN. Insulin resistance doesn’t just affect blood sugar, it profoundly alters lipid metabolism, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk. /2
