RFK JR - Many don’t realize, the Chickenpox Vaccine Causes shingles Epidemics “When the CDC was thinking about mandating the chickenpox vaccine for your children, they did a study. The person they hired to do that study was a scientist named Gary Goldman, who did a long-term study in California. What he found is that if you give the chickenpox vaccine, mass vaccinate, it stops chickenpox, but causes shingle epidemics later on; which is 20x deadlier. Despite those studies, we mandated for American children in this country, but in Europe they don’t. If you go to the British National Health Service website right now, you can read that it will say, “We do not recommend chickenpox vaccines because it causes shingles epidemics later on… and that’s the problem. (Check the link here: nhs.uk/vaccinations/c…) You can’t say this product is going to prevent this particular disease, but you have to look at the long-term implications.”

If you want a CLASSIC example of what gerrymandering is... Here's your sign. It will be difficult for non-Oregonians to understand the impact of this.. so if you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them.

"El socialismo es una religión política cuyo Dios es el Estado y cuyos sacerdotes son los burócratas... Es una filosofía del fracaso, el credo a la ignorancia y la prédica a la envidia; su virtud inherente es la distribución igualitaria de la miseria" Winston Churchill

THE SEEDY HISTORY OF SEED OILS "How do you hide 50 tons of industrial waste without anybody noticing it?" "They put it in a clean, white can and they called it Crisco." "And by the 80s, we're all frying eggs in refined seed oils and wondering why suddenly we feel like sh*t." "It's pretty much the same playbook that Big Food and Big Ag have used to get us to eat their man-made, lab-produced chemicals instead of the real food from nature that we've thrived on for thousands of years."

This man is going viral after revealing that the last woman shot by Minneapolis police was a White woman named Justine Damond, who was killed by a Somali officer after she called for help, and not a single Democrat spoke out or protested.

HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES FLEW FIRST CLASS TO WAR ZONES FOR PHOTO OPS. TOBY KEITH FLEW IN BLACKHAWKS TO PLACES NO CAMERA WOULD EVER SEE… After 9/11, hundreds of celebrities posted flags on Instagram. Wore ribbons on red carpets. Said "thank you for your service" on talk shows. Then went home. Toby Keith got on a helicopter and flew into Afghanistan. Not once. Not twice. Eighteen times. For over a decade — two unpaid weeks every single year — he flew into active war zones. Iraq. Afghanistan. Kuwait. Remote outposts six miles from the Pakistani border where soldiers hadn't seen a civilian face in six months. Critics back home still called him a warmonger. Award shows still passed him over. But here's what the critics never saw… Toby didn't play the big bases. He insisted on going where nobody else would — tiny forward operating bases named after fallen soldiers. He rode in Blackhawks escorted by Apache gunships. He came under fire. His family back home "freaked out" every time he left. He didn't care. He created the USO2GO program — sending electronics and comfort items to soldiers at outposts too remote for any entertainer to ever visit. Over 250,000 troops. Seventeen countries. He closed every single show with "American Soldier" — and every single time, the crowd went silent, because every man and woman standing there knew: this wasn't a performance. This was a promise. He once said: "I saw a void the great Bob Hope left behind, and no one was filling it." So he filled it. For eighteen years. While quietly fighting stomach cancer, he kept going — not for fame, not for cameras — but because he made a promise to kids in uniform who just wanted to hear a guitar and feel like home was still there. They gave him awards he never asked for. But the soldiers who stood in the dust and heard him play — they gave him something no trophy ever could. What happened at those remote bases is a story most Americans have never heard.

Something every parent should know! Japan ceased all mandatory vaccines for children under 24 months old In 1994, what happened next? Japan now has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world. The US? One of the highest. Coincidence?

Bad News Bears 1976 was a kids' movie that used the N-word and every other ethnic slur available, kids smoking cigarettes, a drunk coach that also drove drunk and handed beers out to 11-year-olds. And it was great. Rated PG. We used to be a proper country.

Barack Hussein Obama wasted $34 million and 18 months on a failed attempt to fix the leaking Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris then proposed a staggering $300 million and 3 years for the exact same job. Donald Trump solved the entire problem for just $2 million using a simple industrial coating. This is the difference between leftist career politicians and a real leader. The establishment throws hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars at problems and delivers nothing but excuses and failure. Donald Trump cuts through the bureaucracy, ignores the nonsense, and actually gets results.

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

George Kittle talks about the draft process and how he thought he was going to be drafted by the Seahawks: “I had 1 phone call at the end of the 4th round. My agent called me and said the Seahawks were looking to draft me with the 3rd pick and then literally my agent was on the phone with Seattle when the Niners called me to draft me with the 2nd pick of the 5th round. I thought I was gonna go to Seattle and then I ended up going to the San Francisco 49ers.” 🎥: @sherman4949

This fighter jet cockpit footage from the Top Gun: Maverick BTS shows pilots strapped in tight with verified cameras rolling as the plane rips through the sky… You see the intense close-ups of the helmeted pilots (one with “FANBOY” on his white helmet with blue lightning), the jet banking hard over mountains and clouds, real aviation sequences with no green screen, and the final proud shot of the plane landing at sunset with afterburners glowing. Subtitles hit hard: “The aviation sequences had to be real,” “That’s amazing,” and “I’m very proud of what we all accomplished.” Would you cheer the real stunts or call it unnecessary showboating?

There is no "energy transition" underway. Back in 1995, fossil fuels supplied 76.6% of global energy. Last year, that number was 76.4% - a 0.2% drop in 30 years, despite the $10+ trillion dollars poured into renewables and "energy transition" programs. Yet Al Gore, who has personally pocketed hundreds of millions of dollars selling the climate crisis, still insists there's "huge momentum" to move away from fossil fuels. The reality is simple though. The world still runs on reliable coal, oil and gas, and it will for decades to come.

By Season 4 of The Sopranos, Gandolfini was earning $400,000 per episode. HBO wanted Season 5 on the fast track, and the offer was staggering: roughly $1 million per episode across 13 episodes. Agents celebrated. Lawyers drafted. But something stopped him cold. His co-stars were earning a fraction of what he made. Edie Falco, the woman who carried every scene as Carmela Soprano, wasn't close. The supporting cast earned even less. Gandolfini looked at his contract and saw something executives didn't want him to see — a gap that felt deeply unfair. So he did something that shocked Hollywood. He walked away. Production stalled in early 2003. HBO filed a lawsuit seeking around $100 million in damages. Headlines called him difficult. Columnists called him unstable. "They think I'm a wild animal," he reportedly told a friend that spring. The easy move would have been to sign, cash the check, and disappear into Tony Soprano's shadow — the character who made him a household name and quietly trapped him inside it. Instead, Gandolfini made a different choice. He eventually returned to the negotiating table and signed the deal. But what he did next became legend. Gandolfini reached into his own pocket and personally gave approximately $33,000 to each of 16 supporting cast members — roughly $500,000 of his own money — as a thank-you for standing by him during the shutdown. No press release. No cameras. No announcement. Just quiet envelopes handed out privately. Crew members remembered other moments too. Gandolfini would show up early at Silvercup Studios in Queens, sit in a folding chair, chain-smoke, and ask grips and lighting technicians about their kids by name. He remembered birthdays. He remembered losses. When a crew member's family member fell ill, he quietly helped with expenses. When writers pulled all-nighters rewriting scenes, he fought to protect their words on screen. The turning point wasn't the signing. It was the pause — the refusal that cost him his reputation, invited a massive lawsuit, and risked killing the biggest show on television. He bet everything on a principle most people would have quietly swallowed. Season 5 aired in 2004. Ratings climbed. Awards followed. Critics called it one of the greatest seasons of television ever made. But behind the numbers was a quieter truth: James Gandolfini used his leverage not just to lift himself — but to lift everyone standing beside him. He played a man who ruled through fear on screen. Off screen, he led through loyalty. When he died suddenly in 2013 at age 51, cast and crew members told the same stories over and over — not about his Emmy wins or his iconic performance, but about the envelopes, the folding chair, the questions about their kids. A legacy built not on what he earned, but on what he shared. Power doesn't always roar. Sometimes it whispers through a quiet envelope, handed over with no cameras watching.

Given the draft’s crapshoot nature, building a roster is like building a stock portfolio… obsessing over individual positions is only the hobby of those who don’t consistently make any money. Successful teams focus on portfolio-wide success. Can’t argue with the 49ers’ track record there. They’ve had one of the NFL’s best and deepest rosters year in, year out. They even won 13 games last season in the midst of a mass injury event. Facts matter more than feelings

𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐀𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐒: "𝐈 𝐓𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐒𝐎" Bill Maher is not a conservative. He is a lifelong Democrat who writes million-dollar checks to the party. Which is why his New Rule monologue last night should be mandatory viewing in every DNC war room. His argument, in one sentence: "𝘌𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺. 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘨𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴, 𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘴𝘴." Democrats ran on democracy, equity, and "saving the soul of America." Trump ran on no tax on tips. Every Vegas waitress understood the tips pitch the moment she heard it. Result? Trump became the first Republican to win Nevada in 𝟐𝟎 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬 — at 50.59%. He ran on ending airport shoe removal. On low-flow toilets. On bad shower pressure. On dim light bulbs. On saving TikTok — which sent his youth vote up 𝟐𝟏%. On embracing crypto, the same crypto he once called a scam, which flipped Silicon Valley so hard that tech CEOs who funded Democrats five minutes earlier were sitting on stage at his inauguration. He ran with Bobby Kennedy's MAHA coalition — another 4% of voters who think your breakfast cereal shouldn't glow in the dark. Ride-or-die. And he doubled his 2020 black vote, which in Philadelphia, Detroit, and Milwaukee was 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐧. Maher's verdict on Kamala Harris, delivered to his own party's face: "𝘒𝘢𝘮𝘢𝘭𝘢 𝘳𝘢𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘺, 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘵, 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘦𝘥 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘰 𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘔𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘦, 𝘛𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯, 𝘐'𝘭𝘭 𝘮𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘰𝘱 𝘨𝘰 𝘥𝘰𝘸𝘯." And the reason Maher opened this monologue with "𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰": Trump just announced he is looking at reclassifying marijuana. Pot was the last tangible, personal issue Democrats still owned. They spent a decade dangling it in front of voters without ever pulling the trigger. Now Trump picks it up, reschedules it, and absorbs another few percentage points heading into the midterms. This is not luck. A billionaire from Manhattan with gold on every surface of his home has out-hustled Ivy League political scientists, union organizers, and every strategist in Brooklyn by doing the one thing Democrats cannot seem to do: 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐲𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐬.

Joe Rogan exposes American bread: “Our bread is so f*cked We're f*cking poisoned” People are not gluten intolerant, they’re poison intolerant. Here’s the breakdown “In America what we call bread can't even be considered food in parts of Europe. See, here in America, it's not so much the gluten as what we've done to the grain - About 200 years ago, we started stripping the bran and germ or the fiber in nutrients to make flour shelf stable, also nutritionally dead - Because the nutrients were gone, we enriched it with folic acid, which a large majority of the population can't even metabolize Therefore many people experience fatigue, anxiety, hyperactivity and inflammation. - But then the bread wasn't white enough, so they bleached it with chlorine gas - The bread didn't rise enough, so they added a carcinogen called potassium bromate, which is banned in several countries like Europe, the UK and even China - Then we wanted to ramp up production, so we started using glyphosate to dry out the wheat before harvest, causing endocrine disruption and damaging your gut So now you're bloated, brain fogged, tired and blamed gluten. But gluten is just the scapegoat. The real issue is ultra processed, chemically altered, bleached, bromated, fake vitamin filled wheat soaked in glyphosate. This isn't bread.”

Vegans: "Drinking cow's milk is unnatural!" Great point. So instead of pulling on some teats for thirty seconds, we've developed a twelve-step industrial alternative. Step one: grow almonds in California, a drought-afflicted state currently depleting an aquifer that took twenty thousand years to fill. Step two: ship them to a processing facility. Step three: soak them in water. California water, specifically, because almonds need 15 gallons per ounce and California is already rationing. Step four: pulverise them into a slurry. Step five: filter the slurry through fine mesh, discarding most of the actual almond in the process. That was the bit with the nutrition in it. Gone now. Step six: add more water, because the resulting liquid isn't watery enough. Step seven: add sweeteners, because it tastes of nothing. Step eight: add emulsifiers, because it separates in six minutes otherwise. Step nine: add synthetic vitamins, because all the natural ones left in step five. Step ten: add seed oils, because we apparently learned nothing. Step eleven: homogenise, degas, pasteurise, and sterilise the mixture until it resembles no food that has ever existed in nature. Step twelve: put it in a carton with a picture of a field on it. The cow: stands in a field. Makes milk. Has done this for ten thousand years. No factory. No steps. No aquifer. Unnatural, though. Very unnatural.

Since April 2020, the United States has spent $1.5 trillion on wind and solar. All that money for just 17% of the nation's energy mix. For the same cost, America could have built around 40 nuclear power plants. They'd run for 80 years, not 15 or 20 like wind and solar, and would generate at least three times more power each year. That's the real cost of believing the climate fantasy - enormous waste, destabilized grids, and spiraling energy costs.

This is where “uppercase” and “lowercase” came from. In the early days of printing, capital letters were kept in the upper compartments of the type case, while the smaller letters were placed below for easier access.
