NEW: San Diego woman tanks two shots to the chest and still advances on officers with a ballpoint pen until tased
San Diego Police Department released bodycam footage of the April 15, 2026, officer-involved shooting in the East Village near 16th Street and Island Avenue.
32-year-old Denise Guzman was allegedly stabbing a man multiple times with a ballpoint pen when officers arrived on the call.
Guzman refused repeated commands to drop the pen and advanced toward officers.
Officer Grijalva fired multiple rounds, striking her at least twice in the chest.
She was finally subdued after multiple taser hits. Guzman survived and was hospitalized.
The victim she stabbed was also treated for his injuries.
🚨🇺🇸 Meanwhile in America
“There are ticks everywhere”
Yes - because Bill Gates & Co. Have been producing and releasing genetically modified Ticks all over America.
Why?
Because they’re pure evil that’s why.
Elon Musk just defended America better than every politician in Washington combined.
Musk: “After World War 2, the US could have basically taken over the world and any country. Like we got nukes, nobody else got nukes. We don’t even have to lose soldiers. Which country do you want?”
One nation on earth held a weapon nobody else had.
Total dominance. Zero competition. No risk of retaliation.
Every empire in history that held that kind of advantage used it.
Rome. The Mongols. The British. The Ottomans.
They conquered until they collapsed.
America had a bigger advantage than all of them combined.
And it rebuilt the countries it just defeated.
Musk: “The United States actually helped rebuild countries. So it helped rebuild Europe, it helped rebuild Japan. This is very unusual behavior, almost unprecedented.”
Almost unprecedented?
It had never happened before. Not once in 5,000 years of recorded history.
The Marshall Plan wasn’t foreign aid.
It was the most radical act of restraint any superpower ever committed.
America turned its enemies into allies. Turned rubble into economies. Turned surrender into partnership.
Germany went from ashes to the economic engine of Europe in a generation.
Japan went from unconditional surrender to the third largest economy on earth.
Three years after the war, America was flying food into Berlin.
A city in the heart of the nation that just tried to destroy it.
That’s not policy.
That’s a civilization deciding what it is at the exact moment it has the power to be anything.
You’re being told a story right now.
That America is the villain of history.
You hear it everywhere. Media. Universities. Social platforms.
Musk: “There’s always like, well America’s done bad things. Well of course America’s done bad things, but one needs to look at the whole track record.”
Every nation on earth has dark chapters. Every single one.
The difference is what a country does when nobody can stop it.
And when nobody could stop America, it fed its enemies and rebuilt their cities.
Musk: “The history of China suggests that China is not acquisitive. Meaning they’re not going to go out and invade a whole bunch of countries.”
Probably right.
China has historically built walls, not fleets.
But the real question isn’t about borders anymore.
We’re approaching a moment that mirrors 1945 in ways nobody has fully processed yet.
AI is going to give a handful of people a power advantage that makes nuclear monopoly look quaint.
If someone is going to hold that kind of power, who do you want it to be?
The country that conquered when it could? Or the one that rebuilt when it didn’t have to?
Every alliance. Every trade route. Every economy.
Billions lifted out of poverty.
All of it traces back to one act of restraint that had never been done before.
And carries no guarantee of being repeated.
The most powerful thing America ever did wasn’t building the bomb.
It was what it didn’t do after.
A deck of cards has:
- 52 cards = 52 weeks in a year
- 4 suits = 4 seasons
- 12 royal cards = 12 months in a year
- Ace through King = 13, the amount of lunar months in a year
- 366 = the amount of cards in a deck if you include jokers; the amount of days in a leap year
How nerdy and fun is this shit?!
Private equity now owns roughly three out of every four veterinary clinics in America.
The same private equity firms own the dentist your daughter sees, the orthodontist your son sees, and the urgent care clinic your husband walked into last month.
The price of cleaning your dog's teeth has doubled in five years.
The price of a child's filling has doubled in three.
The exact same financial engineering that took the staff out of nursing homes is being applied to the place you take your golden retriever for surgery.
The largest dental chain is Aspen Dental, owned by Leonard Green Partners and Ares. They run more than 1,100 offices.
The second-largest is Heartland Dental, owned by KKR. They run more than 1,800 practices.
In the veterinary world, Mars owns Banfield, BluePearl, and VCA. JAB Holding Company owns NVA Compassion-First Pet Hospitals. EQT owns IVC Evidensia. Together they own about 75 percent of all American clinics.
The pattern is identical to PE hospitals.
The fund borrows money to buy the practice. The debt is loaded onto the practice. The dentist or the veterinarian is required to hit revenue targets that previously did not exist. The targets are met by adding procedures the patient or the pet does not need.
A 2023 Department of Justice investigation found that Aspen Dental had been pressuring patients to take out interest-bearing financing for procedures that were not medically necessary. The financing was through a captive lender owned by the same fund.
Heartland Dental settled a multi-state class action over unnecessary stainless steel crowns and pulpotomies on children, performed under sedation, at scale.
In veterinary care, the same model produces a different word for the same outcome. A surgery your dog does not need is recommended. The estimate is six thousand dollars. The financing is offered by a company owned by the same fund that owns the clinic. The pet owner cannot afford it. The dog is euthanized.
Pet euthanasia for treatable conditions is now rising at a rate that public health experts cannot explain through medicine. The explanation is financial.
The dentist who used to own the practice now works for the fund. They are required to refer the patient up the chain to a financing department they are not allowed to question. They burn out. They quit. The fund replaces them with a younger dentist who has $400,000 of student loans and no negotiating power.
You cannot opt out. There are no independent practices left in many American zip codes.
HOW TO MAKE MONEY FROM THIS:
1. Long Idexx Laboratories (IDXX). Sells the diagnostic instruments and recurring tests every veterinary clinic in America runs every day. 90 percent gross margin. Compounded at over 17 percent annually for two decades. They get paid regardless of which fund owns the clinic.
2. Long Zoetis (ZTS). Largest veterinary pharmaceutical company in the world. Dominant. The pricing power flows through to the consumer regardless of clinic ownership.
3. Long Henry Schein (HSIC) and Patterson Companies (PDCO). Dental and veterinary supply distributors. The picks and shovels of every chain. Audited. Public. Sticky customer relationships.
4. Long Chewy (CHWY). The only large pet retailer in America with no veterinary clinic ownership conflict. Now expanding into telehealth and pharmacy. Direct-to-consumer pricing pressure on the chains.
5. Long Mars Inc indirectly through its strategic partners and avoid the publicly traded specialist roll-ups. The DOJ antitrust investigation will hit specific names. Mars is private and built before the financialization wave.

(your dog is on a stainless steel table at a chain veterinary clinic owned by a hedge fund. the bill is six thousand dollars. the surgery is necessary. the price is not. the same hedge fund owns the dentist your daughter goes to next tuesday and the urgent care your husband visited last month. you cannot opt out. there are no independent practices left in your zip code. the money does not stay in your town. it leaves on a wire transfer the same day.)
“Seven Nation Army” is one of the most iconic rock songs of the 21st century, created by The White Stripes.
It all began in January 2002 during a tour of Australia. During the soundcheck at the Corner Hotel in Melbourne, Jack White played a powerful, simple riff on his semi-acoustic guitar. He memorized it but didn’t think much of it at first. In fact, he played it for an executive at his record label, who told him he could do better. Jack considered saving it for a potential James Bond theme song, but realizing that was unlikely, he decided to use it for The White Stripes.
The title “Seven Nation Army” comes from Jack’s childhood: as a kid in Detroit, he misheard the name “The Salvation Army” and called it “Seven Nation Army.” At first, it was just a working title to remember the riff, but it ended up sticking.
The lyrics deal with gossip, rumors, and the pressure of fame. Jack said the song came from his frustration at seeing his friends in Detroit badmouthing each other. It tells the story of someone who arrives in a town and hears everyone gossiping about him behind his back. He feels so bad that he leaves, but loneliness brings him back. It is, in part, a reflection on the band’s life at that time: their growing success, media attention, and rumors about their relationship (Jack and Meg White were already divorced, but they continued to pretend to be siblings).
They recorded it in 2002 at Toe Rag Studios in London for the album Elephant (2003). It’s a minimalist track: almost everything is based on that legendary riff, with no bass (Jack used an octave pedal to make it sound like one), no traditional chorus (it was an experiment by Jack: “I’m going to make a song without a chorus to see if it works”), and Meg’s raw drumming. It was released as a single in February 2003 and became their biggest hit. It won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.
The most surprising thing is its cultural legacy. That riff became a universal anthem: it’s sung in soccer stadiums (it started in Belgium with Club Brugge and spread around the world), at protests, sporting events, and even at weddings. It’s one of those songs that everyone instantly recognizes from just the first few notes.
The Mysterious Lost Ancient Deep-Underground CITY of Derinkuyu housed an astonishing 20,000 people, extended 18-levels deep, reaching a staggering depth of 280ft (85m) beneath the surface.
Yet, we do not know exactly who built it, how, why, or even precisely when...

The most underrated B2B play in the entire home service industry is a gutter supply house.
No one is talking about this.
You don't need a single homeowner lead. You don't need to run Google Ads. You don't need a sales team knocking on doors.
Your customers are every roofing company and every gutter installer in your city. They come to YOU. They NEED you. And they reorder every single week.
You're manufacturing the gutters in house. You're buying the aluminum sheet metal in bulk. You're selling the product B2B. And on top of all of that, you're white labeling the installation for roofing companies who don't want to touch gutters.
You show up in a plain white truck after they finish the roof. The homeowner has no clue. The roofer keeps their margin. And you just got paid three different ways on the same job.
You own the entire gutter supply chain. Raw material to final install.
The US gutter industry does over $7 BILLION a year. And almost nobody is running this model.
Here's every single number, every step, and the exact math to $100K/month.
People really think a Costco membership is just for buying 48 rolls of toilet paper at once 😭
It goes SO much deeper than that. Here’s everything your $65/year actually gets you 🧵
