Portland Business Owner: “I have to be honest, I have never felt so unsafe in this city”

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

This is 100 percent true and we should listen. I have been saying it for years.

The Boomers of Kentucky embarrassed the United States on the world stage today. Around the world, people genuinely wondered: can an American politician survive who doesn't repeat low-IQ platitudes about Israel and the Middle East? The Boomers -- with their heterodox Christianity and FOX News propaganda -- gave their answer. Republican politics is dominated by people who for some reason still think Sean Hannity is a smart guy, and Mark Levin is a constitutional scholar. Pat Buchanan had given them the example of the learned and articulate right-winger -- and Pat was well to the right of Hannity and Levin -- but they decided to go with Tomi Lahren and Dan Bongino instead. Oh, Massie voted this way or that, people will say, and that's why he was targeted in this unprecedented way. Yet there's Donald Trump out there campaigning for pro-amnesty Mike Lawler. So I don't believe you that this is a question of Massie's voting record (which is stellar, by the way). Even if Massie had had a handful of objectionable votes, a million times more important than any Massie vote is this principle: A patriot who values his country's sovereignty cannot allow three socially leftist billionaires who represent a foreign interest to buy a congressional seat and place a ridiculous empty suit in it. Even if for some reason you don't like Massie, you as a patriot would have to dislike THAT a hundred times more. These three billionaires never once set foot in Kentucky -- Kentuckians, to them, are lower than dirt, and exist solely to have congressional seats bought from them. Put up a nonentity like "Ed Gallrein" who refuses to debate (how can any voter reward that?), have him utter a few Boomer slogans to satisfy the rubes, and otherwise hide him away. That was the strategy. Boomers (yes, I know there are exceptions) are too morally and intellectually corrupt even to understand what just happened. But the rest of us understand. Can you imagine "Ed Gallrein" leading the charge against the Covid restrictions? He would have been first in line for the damn "vaccine"! Remember, too, that the folks who voted for "Ed Gallrein" tonight are the kind of people who think Marco Rubio is an impressive person, so there was no reaching them. But the younger generations, who don't get their information from the insulting caricature of conservatism that is FOX News, aren't going to fall for the nonsense that snookered the Boomers -- and therein lies hope. Incidentally, the easiest thing in the world would have been for Massie to buckle. Nobody reading this has the remotest idea the pressure that was brought to bear against him. Not one of his detractors could have lasted a week in Massie's shoes. If Trump can sup in happy concord with Zohran Mamdani, the radical leftist mayor of New York, you'd think he could have spared a meal with Massie, whose track record proved he was not Trump's enemy. Not that you'd know it from the anti-Massie brigade (half of whom used to love Massie before they were instructed not to love him), Massie defended Trump through two impeachments, grilled Merrick Garland over FBI assets on January 6, and defended Trump during Russiagate. By contrast, "Ed Gallrein" left the GOP when Trump was elected, and came back only when Biden was in office. But since we're not completely dense, we know the real reason Massie could not be tolerated. As Glenn Greenwald put it, "If the AIPAC/Adelson crowd wants someone out of Congress for disloyalty to Israel, they will be out of Congress. "There are a few exceptions due to unusual districts, but not many. The Israel Lobby has unlimited funding and will spend limitlessly to expunge the blasphemous." I repeat that no American patriot can tolerate, much less celebrate, this grotesque and demeaning situation. The polls show that this situation won't exist forever. We will reach a point at which the foreign money (and that's obviously what it is) will at last be a mark of shame for the candidate receiving it. That will be a great day for American patriots everywhere. Thomas Massie should hold his head high: he stood up against the machine time and again, knowing that it could one day lead to this. Tonight we have to explain to our kids: in this world, the good guys don't always win. But you fight regardless of the prospects of winning. The fight for what is good and right is an end in itself. For that reason, people will remember the Thomas Massies and the Ron Pauls. Nobody will remember "Ed Gallrein," not even as the answer to a trivia question.

Of course eminent domain would be the next front, and of course they won’t pay the actual value. These are corporate squatters, and they must be stopped. x.com/Ansleysgarden/…

Dave Smith: "They framed [Trump] of treason… They locked down the whole country based on pseudoscience. They f*cking covered up a senile president… How many indictments? Zero… That's not exactly what we were voting for."

His grocery bill has doubled in the last 4 years. Let’s gaslight him and tell him inflation is 3%.

Alan has forgotten more about VO2max, aerobic training, all the heart rate zones, and elite level coaching than you’ll ever know. Following him you can actually LEARN. So why is zone 3 simply not that great for training? Read. I know it’s hard. And find out.

Honestly was not expecting Eric Church to give one of the best commencement speeches of all time. Chief CRUSHED this 🫡

Fascinating and confirming to hear you dabble with nicotine. I too have added it into my life the last two years and it’s been a game changer for me. Definitely am addicted. I immediately became leaner and noticed a boost in libido and ability to put on muscle. My testosterone was 933 and I’m 44. I’ve never checked levels previously so I have nothing to compare it to but intuitively I believe I’m getting a boost.

Got to the gym with my son. He asks me if the Zyn is my pre workout. 😑 He then tells me it looks like my intra and post workout too. Out of the mouths of babes …

His grandad left an old bucket of balls at the batting cages they used to visit with this note on them… I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥺⚾

@CoffeeBlackMD @BowTiedHRT Banger.

@BowTiedHRT One time I ate so many eggs I fought like 6 cops and had to be put into an institution with one of those face masks that don’t let you bite people for a couple of weeks until it wore off.

Heavy Squats and Deads produce more testosterone than you would get out of TRT as do: Perfect diet, 7-9 hours of sleep per night, Blue Light Blockers, etc.. 36 eggs per day are equal to a Dbol cycle. And other myths brought to you by X today.

@CoffeeBlackMD Agreed, but respectfully I think a lot of people have PTSD from Covid and some rather draconian lockdown policies.

No one is talking or calling for a lock down regarding hanta virus. Thats bonkers. And stupid and or ignorant paranoia. Some of you gotta f*cking chill. Or take your meds. Maybe both.

@CoffeeBlackMD How can we book a consult good doctor?

The prices of finished peptides and medications also include my time, thought, considerations, and care. My wife’s time. Our monitoring and troubleshooting. My liability. You aren’t just buying sneakers or tires.

@joeroganhq What podcast was this on

Joe Rogan on his first DMT trip: "I didn't exist anymore, language didn't exist, history didn't exist... I was a part of the entire universe and I was conscious of that."

Watched this Tucker roast compilation. Reminder: people don’t hate him because he’s wrong. They hate him because he’s funny, sharp, and lands every punch.

Wow, I actually found it! Of all the Scott Adams clips ... this is the one that means the most to me, personally. This was the moment, during the initial COVID lockdown days, that I decided to cancel my low-grade depression and feeling like "I'm trapped," and replace it with "come out of this stronger, not weaker." (I started writing affirmations shortly after this, and by the time a year had passed, I'd changed career paths, gotten three promotions, and was living in a new house. It worked, Scott. It worked.)

@CoffeeBlackMD This is beautiful. Moved me to tears.

I’m raw tonight. It was an emotional day. I wasn’t sure I’d talk about it. But this place is where I do that kind of thing. Too many details risk confidentiality in this case. I have a wonderful nurse friend. I’ve worked with for over a decade. And there was a terrible tragedy with a teenaged child. Her child. They won’t be making it. I wasn’t sure if I should find her at the hospital. Some prefer to be left alone in tragedy. Was told she was reaching out to her team. Us. Those of us she works with. I went to find her. I didn’t have anything to say. Because there isn’t anything to say. Nothing to grant solace or comfort. Not a thing verbalized would help. But I hugged her and she clung to me and I held her while we sobbed together. Because a beautiful light is going out in the world. And it’s f*cking sad. And unfair. So I just went there with her. And we wept. I hope it was some small bit of intimate human interaction. A single brick in the wall of strength she will need to get through what is happening and coming. There is no way out but through. Love. I believe. Is the most powerful force in the universe. Love abides. Transcends. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Our tears and weeping are the soul’s recognition of love for those we honor that are passing on or have. There can be no great pain without great love. Love is the glue. The permanence. Of what is REAL. Texted my son on the way home and told him how much I loved him. And how proud I am of him. I still get to tonight. It’s weighing powerfully upon me. We really are here but such a short time. Barely the smallest of gasps in the universe. But the powerful things we know and feel. Are bigger than that somehow. Or can be. Should be. Tell someone you love them tonight. Kiss your children. Forgive your spouse for the silly thing. Pet your dog. Remind yourself again of the love in you for the love in them. It’s why we exist.

@CoffeeBlackMD Agreed. Just like alcohol everyone’s nervous system is different. Also important to know if it’s “street” Xanax or real Xanax

I’ve seen benzodiazepine withdrawal and particularly alaprazolam withdrawal and this is a lie.

A kid drew himself sleeping in bed between mom and dad and labeled it 'safe.' In Japan, this exact sleeping arrangement has a name. They call it 'the river.' Mother is one bank. Father is the other. The child between them is the water. Roughly 70% of Japanese mothers sleep this way with their kids, sometimes through the teenage years. The Western model of putting a kid alone in their own bedroom is barely 200 years old. For most of human history, in most cultures still alive today, kids slept beside their parents. James McKenna runs the Mother-Baby Behavioral Sleep Lab at Notre Dame. He spent decades watching what happens when parents and kids share a bed. The bodies sync up. Heart rates align with the parent's, breathing falls into the same rhythm, and by morning even sleep stages have started matching. The parent's body, in McKenna's words, acts as a kind of biological jumper cable for the child's. In 2013, researchers in the Netherlands tracked 193 babies through the first year of life. They measured cortisol, the brain's main stress hormone. Babies who had spent more weeks co-sleeping in the first six months produced less cortisol under stress at 12 months. Sleeping near a parent had rewired the kid's stress system to be calmer under pressure. Inside the kid's brain at night, the amygdala, the fear alarm, gets more sensitive as the body gets tired. Darkness makes it worse. A 2021 paper in PLoS One from Australian researchers showed that light directly suppresses amygdala activity. Lights off, alarm louder. The whole brain is wired to read 'alone in a dark room' as a threat. Now add a parent's body to that bed. The kid's nervous system reads warm body, breathing nearby, familiar smell. The threat alarm dials down. Two parents on either side dial it down twice. The drawing is the kid's brain calculating maximum safety: I am surrounded by the people who keep me alive, and nothing can reach me without going through them first. The arrangement in this drawing is what most of human history called 'sleeping.' Sleeping the kid alone in another room is a 200-year-old Western invention that we forgot was an invention. Every kid who has ever padded into your room at 3am and crawled into the middle of the bed is just trying to redraw the picture.
