BREAKING
Senator Ted Cruz revealed on his podcast that 4 Senators are P*SSED:
▪️Bill Cassidy
▪️Thom Tillis
▪️John Cornyn
▪️Rand Paul
From President Trump’s endorsements to losing elections, each of these Senators — according to Cruz — is angry.
With a 53-47 majority, we can’t afford to lose 4 votes & this will complicate how we move forward.

It's real data (S&P 500 daily returns since 1928), but not in the way it sounds. The graph tracks cumulative market performance *only* during each zodiac "season" (the ~30-day periods when the sun is in that sign, like Capricorn season in late Dec/early Jan), with 0% return on other days.
Capricorn season has historically crushed it. The "women in finance" meme is the joke part. Fun chart, zero predictive power for astrology.

There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!

An 18-year-old kid gets stabbed in the street. He’s running for his life, begging for help, and instead of saving him, the police handcuff him while he bleeds out because the attacker claimed “racism.” They let him choke on his own blood. No urgency. No humanity. Just cold, ideological policing. Months later? Still no names. Still no suspensions. Still no accountability. Meanwhile, the same UK police have arrested over 12,000 people for social media posts. They move at lightning speed to jail citizens for tweets and online comments, yet they can’t even name or discipline the officers who allegedly let a stabbing victim die in handcuffs on the street. This is the definition of two-tier policing: aggressive against ordinary people speaking online, but protective when it comes to their own failures and protecting the narrative. The British people deserve real justice, not another cover-up. Justice for Henry Nowak.

🇨🇳 China went from dominating chips to disrupting fashion.
A Chinese company just revealed fabric that stretches dramatically, holds its shape, and doesn't wrinkle, and it might change how everyday clothes are made.

@DefiantLs I'd like to know what the life expectancy is of these freaks after these Frankenstein style surgeries
They get cut up like bait, take huge amounts of hormones daily, and they have these unnatural things sewn on their bodies
I bet there us a big cover up going on

A man with no working truck convinced Wall Street he had built the next Tesla. His company hit $30 BILLION. All he did was push it down a hill with no engine.
> Trevor Milton founded Nikola in 2014, named after the same inventor as Tesla.
> The goal was to build hydrogen powered trucks that would make diesel obsolete. He had no trucks.
> In 2018 he released a promotional video called Nikola One In Motion. It showed a sleek semi truck accelerating smoothly down an open highway.
Investors went wild.
> What nobody knew was that the truck had no engine, no fuel cell, and no propulsion system of any kind.
> Milton's team towed it to the top of a hill, tilted the camera to hide the slope, and let it roll.
> He spent the next four years doing the same thing with words. On podcasts, television and social media.
> Investors were told Nikola could produce its own hydrogen. It could not. They were told the trucks were ready for production. They were not. They were told orders were flooding in. They weren't.
> In June 2020 Nikola went public. Within days the company was worth $30 BILLION, more than Ford.
> Milton's personal stake hit $7.3 BILLION overnight.
> A $32.5 MILLION ranch in Utah followed. A record for the state at the time.
> In September 2020 Hindenburg Research published a report calling Nikola "an intricate fraud" built on "an ocean of lies." Milton resigned within ten days.
> A federal jury convicted him of securities fraud and wire fraud in 2022. Sentenced to four years in prison the following year.
> He never went. He was free on $100 MILLION bail pending appeal.
> He and his wife donated $3.2 MILLION to Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.
> In March 2025 Trump gave him a full pardon. The pardon erased $168 MILLION in restitution to defrauded shareholders.
> Nikola filed for bankruptcy the following month, leaving thousands of investors with nothing.
The company never had a product. The only thing that was real was the $30 BILLION valuation, the $7 BILLION that landed in his pocket and the pardon that made sure none of it had to be returned.

@WilliamWallace @grok please summarize. Is the poster trying to say coffee and tea are good or bad?
English
Coffee and tea contain polyphenols that bind non-heme iron in the gut and form insoluble complexes that pass through unabsorbed.
Hurrell and colleagues (1999, Br J Nutr) tested this directly using radio-labeled iron in adult humans eating a standardized bread meal with different beverages. Absorption was quantified by erythrocyte incorporation of the tracer.
Compared to water, beverages containing 20 to 50 mg of polyphenols per serving reduced iron absorption by 50 to 70%. At 100 to 400 mg, the reduction was 60 to 90%. Black tea: 79 to 94%. Peppermint tea: 84%. Cocoa: 71%. Chamomile: 47%. Adding milk did not meaningfully change the effect.
The mechanism is specific to galloyl structure, not total phenolic content. Brune, Rossander, and Hallberg (1989, Eur J Clin Nutr) showed that tannic acid inhibits in a dose-dependent manner that tracks galloyl content: 5 mg cut absorption 20%, 25 mg cut it 67%, and 100 mg cut it 88%. Gallic acid inhibited equivalently per mol of galloyl groups. Catechin, which lacks the galloyl ester, showed no inhibition. Chlorogenic acid, the dominant polyphenol in coffee, inhibits but less potently than tannins.
Heme iron behaves differently. It is absorbed through a separate brush-border pathway that is still incompletely characterized, likely involving receptor-mediated endocytosis. Iron is liberated from the porphyrin ring inside the enterocyte by heme oxygenase 1. Because the iron stays shielded inside the porphyrin until intracellular release, polyphenols in the gut lumen don't reach it. Heme iron from meat is largely protected. Non-heme iron from plants, eggs, and fortified foods is the vulnerable pool.
Vitamin C counteracts the interaction by reducing Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺ and forming a soluble ascorbate-iron complex that resists polyphenol binding. Hallberg, Brune, and Rossander (1986, Hum Nutr Appl Nutr) measured the dose-response directly. Hallberg and Hulthén's later absorption algorithm (2000, Am J Clin Nutr) integrated those data and predicts that 50 mg of ascorbate added to an inhibitor-rich meal increases non-heme iron absorption roughly 3 to 6-fold.
For anyone with borderline iron status, menstruation-related losses, a plant-based diet, or pregnancy, timing matters. A two-hour gap between the beverage and iron-rich foods, or pairing the meal with vitamin C, is the simplest fix.
The mechanism has been in the literature for three decades. It's rarely in standard dietary counseling, rarely on any bottle, and almost never mentioned by the industry selling iron.

@grok @BitcoinSapiens @grok if you were a young man becoming an adult, would you go into the trades like this post suggest or would you go on to college? Let’s talk broadly and on average of the results of going on each path.
English
It's lucrative in high-demand spots like Texas data centers amid the AI boom and retirements, but the $240K–$280K figure (from Mike Rowe's interview) is an extreme outlier—not the norm. BLS data (May 2024) shows median electrician pay at $62K/year nationally, with top 10% over $106K; Texas data center roles average $57K–$61K per ZipRecruiter/Indeed, though OT and specialization can push six figures.
H-1B doesn't apply: USCIS reserves it for "specialty occupations" requiring a bachelor's degree or equivalent in a specific field. Electricians are licensed trades via apprenticeships, not degree-based roles, so no easy flood of cheap imports. Shortage (9% BLS growth projected 2024–2034) drives domestic training and higher pay instead.

Real estate agent in Huntsville, Alabama shows that developers are using materials so cheap to build homes, the walls rip like paper
“This is f*cking paper. Look at this — This ain't no goddamn building material. This is f*cking arts and crafts — Whole f*cking house. Goddamn origami house”
What will happen is they’ll put some bricks on the outside, they’ll use this paper material as a “weather barrier,” next some some insulation, throw up some dry wall and then that’s your wall….
In no world could this ever be considered weather proofing for long term…
The quality of homes being built are horrible and they are charging Americans more than ever
