As a supporter of RFK Jr. I will be casting my vote in November for Donald J. Trump and will work to get him-reelected. It’s time for unity. We have to save our country from utter destruction. Now is our chance.

Finally, a LinkedIn optimization tactic with personality.

Right now almost every "MAGA" account is slop. Zero personality. It's all a rush to post the same clips from cable news and add a formulaic BREAKING headline. Maybe that makes money via engagement. It's tedious. AI is winning. I don't see many humans on this site anymore.

Boomers get mocked around here but I see A LOT of millennials sharing engagement slop from Pakistan. This post is at 6.5 million views already. Total slop. Some of you people are embarrassing. Don’t ever insult Boomers again.

@AAGDhillon @CivilRights One of these days I need to get around to really asking them why they banned me, my small business, and my business EIN because I went to a rally on January 6th 2021 and then peacefully left.....haha

Today, @CivilRights is pleased to reach a $30 million dollar resolution with PayPal to end its DEI program and waive fees for America’s eligible small businesses!

Protein shakes? 3.4 oz or less, but rotisserie chickens??? As many as you can fit in your carry-on.

Thank you to President Trump for nominating me to serve as the next U.S. Ambassador to Jamaica. 🇺🇸🇯🇲 Jamaica is a country I know very well, full of incredible people, and if confirmed by the Senate, I look forward to strengthening the partnership between our nations, advancing America’s interests abroad, and building on the deep friendship shared by the American and Jamaican people. Honored to continue serving in this HISTORIC Administration!

Grow up watching your parents fight, and by age 12 your brain looks like a soldier's coming home from war. The same alarm circuits keep firing whenever someone gets angry near you. None of these kids were diagnosed with anything. Their brains had already changed. Scientists at University College London scanned 43 kids in 2011. Twenty had documented family violence at home. When the researchers showed them photos of angry faces, the danger-detection parts of their brains fired exactly like they do in combat soldiers. The kids' brains had quietly learned, before they could put it into words, that anger means danger and danger can come from anywhere in the room. That study was about violence. But Martin Teicher's lab at Harvard's McLean Hospital has spent decades showing yelling alone does similar damage. Verbal abuse from parents physically changes the parts of the brain that handle language and sound. The long-term hit on adult mental health is about the same as being hit, or watching one of your parents get hit. And this is common. In 2024, UNICEF estimated 400 million kids under 5, about 6 in 10 globally, regularly face violent discipline at home: yelling, hitting, or both. In a Portuguese study of more than 5,000 ten-year-olds, 57.7% reported a household member regularly shouting or yelling at them. It was the single most common bad thing in their lives. Teicher's team also found that the brain's memory and stress center physically shrinks by about 6% in young adults who were maltreated as kids. Vietnam combat veterans with chronic PTSD show roughly the same drop, about 8%, in the same area. The damage doesn't stay in the lab. The CDC's most recent youth survey linked 89% of teen suicide attempts and 85% of teen suicidal thoughts to bad experiences before age 18. But the same brain that absorbs fear can absorb safety. Romanian orphans moved into stable foster homes recovered real ground. Across decades, Teicher's research has shown that warm, predictable parenting physically builds up the part of the brain that helps a kid stay calm, and quiets the alarm system over time. A child remembers the fights. They also remember who came back to fix things afterward. Both leave a mark.

The American people have long sought transparency about the government’s knowledge of unidentified aerial phenomena. Under President Trump’s leadership, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence is actively coordinating the Intelligence Community’s declassification efforts with the Department of War to ensure a careful, comprehensive, and unprecedented review of our holdings to provide the American people with maximum transparency. Today’s release is the first in what will be an ongoing joint declassification and release effort.

A star-shaped UFO has been observed by the US government in the latest UFO files revealed.

You need to have uninsured motorist insurance. Umbrella insurance, too. Even then, if an illegal hits you, if it's really bad, you are going bankrupt from medical bills and lost wages. Important to have 529's for kids, even if only a "little." No such thing as "too little."

Did a bit of reading on SSRIs. They get prescribed like candy. 25% of all women are on them. Numb your mind over time. Can't get off them. Kill sex drive. Turns you into an emotional wreck. Ruins your life. When is big pharma going to be held accountable for this shit?

We try to stay at low-fi as possible. Bike rides. Got the kids a Daisy BB gun. Home gym. Glamping. Those books that are classical music themed, you push the button and it plays an except. Stuff like that. Avoiding video games and tech for as long as humanly possible. Stay human.

BREAKING: FBI Director Kash Patel says there is "enough evidence" for DOJ to bring a strong case against top Russiagate conspirators, including James Comey and John Brennan, and that the process of finding and presenting supporting documents and swearing in cooperating witnesses before federal grand juries is well underway

In order to understand the universe, you must explore the universe

SSRIs, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, were sold as miracle drugs, tiny pills that would “correct a chemical imbalance” and bring people back to happiness. There’s just one problem: the “chemical imbalance” theory was never conclusively proven in the first place. Yet millions were prescribed drugs that alter serotonin signaling for years, sometimes decades, often with little warning about what happens when you try to stop. And stopping can be brutal. Patients describe brain zaps, panic attacks, emotional collapse, dizziness, insomnia, dissociation, and waves of depression far worse than the symptoms that got them prescribed the drugs in the first place. For years, much of psychiatry brushed this off as “relapse.” Now even mainstream research admits antidepressant withdrawal can be severe, prolonged, and psychologically destabilizing. What’s becoming harder to ignore is that SSRIs don’t necessarily make people happier. Many users report the opposite: emotional blunting, not sadness., not joy, just flatness. A growing body of research shows 40–60% of SSRI users experience some degree of emotional numbing, where pleasure, excitement, love, motivation, and even grief become muted. The drugs may reduce emotional lows, but often by sanding down the highs too. That’s not emotional health. That’s chemical dampening. And the longer someone stays on SSRIs, the more the brain adapts to the drug’s constant presence. Researchers increasingly point to neuroadaptation, changes in receptor sensitivity and serotonin signaling, as one reason withdrawal can become so difficult and prolonged. The brain adjusts itself around the medication, then when the medication disappears, the nervous system struggles to recalibrate. That’s why many people don’t feel “addicted” to SSRIs in the classic sense, but still find themselves unable to stop without spiraling into withdrawal symptoms mistaken for mental illness returning. None of this means antidepressants never help anyone. For some people in acute crisis, they absolutely can. But the public was sold a simplistic fairy tale: low serotonin equals sadness, pill equals happiness; reality is messier.

JUST NOW: President Trump explains how his phone's autocorrect almost got him in trouble with the First Lady: "They have spell correct and word correct, and these crazy machines that we use to put out Truths... And every time I wrote 'Melania,' it would correct to 'Melody.'" "And I'd say 'Melania is fantastic' and 'happy Mother's Day Melania our great first lady, Melania.' But it would spell correct and and word correct to 'Melody.' And sometimes I wouldn't proofread it, and I would get just absolute decimated."
