@DurstMelody @GroovyBruce Let me know when you have actual data. Nobody cares about your stupid stories.
English
@DurstMelody @GroovyBruce 1. Not court ordered. Possible adverse reactions. Irrelevant.
2. I know the clinical trial outcomes. clearly you don't.
3. Lol. The House of Representatives is a joke. Nobody gives a fuck what a bunch of conspiracy theorists had to say.

@s8mb Who the hell wants to bring a kid on to this fucked up planet?

Fertility is collapsing all around the world, not just in the developed West:
- Mexico now has lower fertility than the US (even non-Hispanic whites!).
- Arab-Israeli fertility is now lower than that of Jewish Israelis.
- For first time in 200 years, rich people are having MORE kids than poor.
Economist Jesús Fernández-Villaverde (@JesusFerna7026) sat down with me and @pietergaricano to talk about the economics of the fertility collapse, why education can be such a curse for birth rates, why the collapse is happening almost as much in the Muslim and developing worlds as in the rich world, and why so many attempts to address it fail.
We also discuss 'no regrets' policies that could help: clearer data for students about the value (or not) of college degrees; lotteries for admissions to the top universities; subsidies for third or fourth children; and, of course, bigger, nicer and more plentiful housing.

But seriously. This man IS America.
Screw Markwayne. Get stuffed Pam Bondi. Eat a dick, Pete Hegseth.
You all WISH you were as American as Afroman.
He is the American Hero we deserve!

@PawlowskiMario @RpsAgainstTrump @_Jen_nifer_1 Nope. This is the real goddamn thing. Starting to blur the lines between the United States and North Korea.
I'm surprised the coin doesn't say "Dear Leader."
English
JUST IN: Trump’s handpicked Commission of Fine Arts approved a general design for a 24k gold commemorative coin for the U.S. 250th anniversary featuring Trump’s image.
“I motion to approve this as presented, and with the strong encouragement that you make it as large as possible, all the way to three inches in diameter,” the commission’s vice chair, James McCrery, said.
Separately, the Treasury has said it plans to issue a $1 Trump coin that the Commission of Fine Arts approved in January.
Straight-up banana republic stuff.
English
Hegseth: "We're still dealing with the environment Joe Biden created—depleting our stockpiles and sending them to Ukraine instead of our own military. Every time we face a challenge, it traces back to 'Well, sent it to Ukraine.'"
It looks like they’re just going to blame Ukraine whenever anything goes wrong now, doesn’t it? It’s depressing to watch because while this administration will eventually leave office, a segment of Americans will keep hating Ukraine without even remembering why.
English
@Riley_Gaines_ Maybe you should read the actual study.
Found myocarditis rates amongst vaccinated children were 0.0031%.
In any year 0.016% of adolescents will get myocarditis. 5X above the vaccinated rates.
Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
English
IT’S OFFICIAL.
The CDC is going forward with a NEW CODE for the ‘Covid Vaccine’ injured.
The Coordination and Maintenance Committee is advancing a new specific code under the T50.B category: poisoning/adverse effects of viral vaccines.
THE VACCINE CARTEL WILL BE LIVID.

@IcanAmer_MAGA @adamcarolla 17 made up things that don't exist, yet gullible cultists post them online.

I told all of you not to get your kids vaccinated but you were too scared and too dumb to ask questions. Nice job sheep

Next he'll be changing his title to His Excellency President for Life, General Secretary, His Perpetual Greatness and Defender of the Faith, Our Lord and Savior, Supreme Master of Golf, No - Doesn't Have Erectile Dysfunction, Author of The Art of the Deal, the Greatest Book Ever.

Really?
We're doing this now? This is the first time in US history that a coin has featured a living president, much less a sitting one.
We've gone full dictator now.
English
@cropley_jason Of course, that accusation came, while he was in the process of divorcing his first wife, because he had already gotten his second wife, who was also his employee pregnant. The guy's personal life is a disaster.
English
@cropley_jason I love to have during his confirmation hearings, addressing a credible accusation of sexual assault, his basic excuse was, "I couldn't have assaulted anybody, I was too drunk."

Pete Hegseth needs $200B for the Iran war, to "kill bad guys."
That would have covered the ENTIRE budget for The National Cancer Institute for 28 years at the level it was at before it was cut by 40%, canceling a majority of research projects.
English
@jesse_caufield @YourAnonCentral By, "advisors" you mean two commercial real estate developers, one of them with no role in the government, a drunk-ass, philandering Fox News host, and maybe kind of Marco Rubio.
Where the fuck is anybody from intelligence?

@YourAnonCentral BREAKING NEWS: President takes action based on information given from his advisors. Ok and? That’s how everything works, Russian bot

@JCallender1962 @Larryjtex @Marlayna29 Total US deaths in 2020 were 528,891 higher than 2019, but ONLY 350,831 reported COVID deaths.
2021 deaths were 609,483 higher than 2019, but 462,193 reported COVID deaths.
2019: cdc.gov/nchs/products/…
2020: cdc.gov/nchs/products/…
2021: cdc.gov/nchs/products/…
English
@Larryjtex @Marlayna29 Thank you. Yes, there were a lot of deaths contributed to it that actually were not, and that was because they were getting paid big money to pad those numbers. But Covid also attacked people with compromised immune systems the most. I was recovering from Stage 4 cancer then.

@Anymouse28 @Zoe154317270649 @SenTuberville It makes no difference where WE get our oil from. Like all commodities, oil prices are set on the global market. Supply contractions affect prices globally.
English
Wrong on all counts. The oil companies are responsible for the gas prices; we get about 2% of our oil from over there. Just like distributors, not tariffs, are responsible for grocery prices.
This “war” was started to eliminate Iran’s capacity for nuclear weapons and to break the Islamic State, both of which are tremendous dangers to the entire world. This should have happened years ago.
English
Radical Islam and Sharia Law are a CANCER.
We’ve seen it infiltrate and tear down Europe.
We CANNOT let this poisonous DEATH CULT tear down America.

@AbeLopezAuthor @BackPainFitGain What is it all of you conspiracy cultists are such cowards that you are afraid to answer the simplest questions about your claims?
English
@AbeLopezAuthor @BackPainFitGain Yeah, he had to run away like a sniveling coward, after I asked him a simple question about a post he made.
Pretty typical of the conspiracy cult. They talk a good game, but run away when they get challenged.
English
Had a friend from high school challenge me about the Covid narrative being pushed (this was the Fall of 2020) when I mentioned there was obvious distortion of the numbers since the flu just disappeared that year (and the next)
He kept saying “this is serious, enough people to fill several airliners dię of Covid in the US everyday”
I thought it was a weird metric to use and it was impossible to get through to him that maybe he was being lied to
I looked online later and found that the comparison was being pushed by several news outlets

The Illusory Truth Effect The illusory truth effect is a cognitive bias where repeated information is perceived as more truthful, regardless of its actual accuracy. Familiarity is mistaken for credibility, meaning hearing a statement multiple times—even if false—makes it more believable. This phenomenon is driven by processing fluency, where familiar information is easier to mentally process, thus making it easier to believe. Given how social media has rendered our attention span to something that can only be measured in nanoseconds, it's no wonder that people believe anything they see a headline about. Combine this with cognitively lazy approach of "journalistic" websites simply c̶o̶p̶y̶i̶n̶g̶ syndicating other stories, and it's no wonder this happens. If it aligns with a person's world view (confirmation bias) and it makes them emotional (emotional suggestibility), then you can be guaranteed they won't even think to question it. This is how you get groups of people defending a subjective interpretation of reality as if it's objectively accurate. We are doomed, because the ONLY fix for this requires so much work and confronting erroneous thoughts a person has invested energy into, that it won't happen. And you can't even train kids to do this because most people don't realize this happens and they don't want to believe it's happened to them. "It's easier to fool people than convince them they've been fooled." -Mark Twain
